Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

Facing Li Lin with countless black towers and distorted light shadows floating behind him, this time, although there was a little commotion in the team, no one told him to get out again.

Chapter 20 Camp

Those who always feel that someone will hurt them have excessive self-awareness, and generally do not appear in the Iceborne Guerrilla.Because even basic mutual help will generate hostility, the first thing to repel is the team inside the infected.

Don't imagine how beautiful the team of infected people is, let alone have any cute illusions about them caused by pity.

They are human beings, but again, they are patients.

Visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, mania, depression, insanity, and major changes in temperament are already relatively common symptoms.

In many cases, you can't even blame those normal people for their innate discrimination against infected people. The symptoms of infected people are really varied and strange, and because of their different abilities and the reason for casting spells in their bodies, infected people are covert and efficient killers. By.

In most cases, arresting the infected is an extremely dangerous act, and people don't know exactly what stage the infected are infected, what abilities they have, or what kind of views or decisions they have on the world.They only know that this person is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that the entire block will be put in danger.

Therefore, compared with those countries and settlements that have entered the overall modernization, or those wild areas where the average age does not care about these things at all, the lives of these infected people are far more difficult than imagined, and the conflicts are also more difficult. Be sharper.This is not a simple act of discrimination, but a bloody lesson with history.No matter how strong your friendship is, death brings only explosions and infections.

Likewise, no matter what stage your trusting relationship has reached, it can at any moment be turned into a horrific massacre and an even more horrific exhibition of rough stone skills under the torment of illness and hallucinations.

Therefore, the infected must be isolated, and a certain boundary must be drawn from normal people.

The problems they bring about are real and objective, and there is a certain gap between them and normal people in reality.Although practically speaking, the infection stages of the infected are divided into many periods, and there will be no serious phenomena in the short term. After death, it is not an explosion on the spot, but a certain time interval.

But after all, you can't expect ordinary people with no academic qualifications to be able to talk to other people, saying 'According to my calculations, we are actually safe within the XXX time frame', and so on. Responsibility words.The most they can do is also the most common, which is to expel the infected people without leaving them.

Coupled with the special guidance of the upper level of Ursus and the pressure of the lower levels due to lack of normal medical protection and life guidance, the entire territory of Ursas is high-pressured and seething.

Therefore, in this environment, the infected people of Ursas have already practiced their unique skills. They can transfer from one environment to another without making a sound, without being discovered by the locals at all.

The most important means of transfer are sleds and sledges. In the snow-covered wasteland and snow-covered areas, only these two kinds of props and raw stone skills can be unimpeded.Their high-speed speed and shallow tracks will soon be submerged by snow avalanches, and they will not be tracked.

The pickets of the infected have been fighting wits and courage with them for many years. It is difficult for them to really catch the handle or tail of the infected, but at the same time, it is also difficult for the infected to absorb those infected who are actually in the village. It is only possible to absorb the infected people in the surrounding mines or the infected people who have been expelled from the territory through some piecemeal means.

What is more regrettable is that the hatred and hostility brought about by the two are unimaginable.They desperately hope to launch some death-like raids on the whole land of Ursus.Even at the expense of his own life.Only the infected who have lived in the mines and those extreme scenes know what kind of doom and terror those seemingly ordinary men in masks bring, and how many families and thoughts will be torn apart.

Maybe many people didn't have any particularly extreme ideas at the beginning, but after being thrown into it for a period of time, there were no extreme ideas.

"...In other words, the current environment of Ursus has been divided into several parts vertically, and it has been artificially divided into several classes for viewing?"

Standing on the anti-gravity skateboard of Xinnen Valley Company, Li Lin and the Alpha team felt ghostly on the ground, following the sled brigade of infected people wearing white cloaks, without any intention of falling, but followed closely He turned around and asked questions.

"Whether it is in a mobile city or in a civilian area, the infected will have a separate treatment area. On the surface, it is a peaceful zone for some medical treatment and basic protection, but in essence it is to gather all the infected in one place, and then Package them and send them to places where they need to work. Including but not limited to various factories and mines, and make various promises and fantasies before that, so that they are willing to accept their identities."

"Yes, there's basically nothing wrong with it. It might be more or less the same in terms of execution, but it's essentially the same."

Tallula looked at the man beside him who seemed to have dark circles all the time, but never rested, and whispered to him.

Beside them, infected people wearing white cloaks were using sledges and sleds to move quickly through the snowfields and jungles, speeding towards their camp.

The members of the Alpha team stepped on anti-gravity skateboards, looming among the jungle and rocks, sliding into a shadow like a shadow, and then flew out from another part, bringing some strange things and sounds .

Li Lin is talking to Tallulah about the background of the infected people in Ursas.Since that horrible cesspit-like scene appeared, it meant that there was a terrifying amount of hatred and loathing accumulated in the entire Ursus, and it was basically permeated in such a thin concept as the outer zone.This is not good news for Ursus.

So from the consideration of the investigation, he began to have an in-depth understanding of Tallulah directly.But the more you investigate, the more you will be shocked by the situation inside Ursus.

If Casimir's attitude towards the infected is as disgusting as seeing cockroaches, but they have to act together, then Ursus' attitude towards the infected can hardly be called the same kind of creature.

It was an orderly massacre.

Chapter 21 Alina

Unlike the mining industry in Li Lin's impression, Ursas's understanding of mining and heavy industry is still at a stage of stupidity.

Compared with the huge related industry income brought by real mining city rabbit nests like Rim Billiton, Ursus's attitude towards mining and industry is more like facing their own flesh and blood. The living life was thrown into the furnace, and then turned into raw ore and various preliminary industrial tools to continue the life of Ursus, a behemoth that was constantly exploited.

In fact, the finance, light industry, and normal people's livelihood system in Ursas have basically fallen into a state of sustainable collapse. They must use a large amount of foreign material imports to maintain their current size.And the land area of ​​Ursas is too huge, and the logistics pressure is far beyond the imagination of normal people.Under the pressure of such a vast land and logistics, no matter how Ursus develops its industry, its performance will still have its limits.

Their cities are mobile and hardly stay in a fixed area.The minerals brought by countless mines cannot be converted into materials and products in one go, and can only wait for a cycle of operation.And their limited warehouses and distribution areas are also doomed that they cannot store a large amount of materials in one go to survive the cold winter, and can only absorb, release, and maintain this cycle continuously.Like black animals, they crawled and meandered across the vast territory of Ursas, leaving behind black marks.

If their national strength is strong enough, they can continue to oppress other countries to carry out their own domestic internal circulation, and after decades, they can initially solve the circulation caused by this logistics pressure.

Because there will be a certain degree of material reserves among the people, the storage of official strategic resources can be slightly reduced, and there is no need to go back to the warning point.

But now that the war has been defeated and internal conflicts are fierce, they must consume part of the population to reduce the huge population pressure on mobile cities and mining areas. The pressure brought by the huge logistics industry.

And so the Infected series came into being.They continue to absorb those infected people, deprive them of their political rights and all related rights, brand them as slaves and the dead, and throw them into mines and factories to gradually fend for themselves.This cannot but be said to be a genius method. The resentment that was originally boiling in the country will be gradually disintegrated by the meaty smell emitted by the infected.

For normal people, the death of an infected person will not only bring about job vacancies and administrative vacancies after the deprivation of social status, but also confiscate property for social supplementation.On the other hand, it is also possible to reduce a new population to reduce the consumption of supply lines.The sprawling supply system throughout the Ursus Empire will also get some new respite.And the infected people who were thrown into the mines and factories will continue to produce useful materials to produce the blood of Ursus, which will be continuously instilled in all directions of the country.

The whole of Ursus is a decaying giant, the pacemakers brought by the mines and factories of the infected are beating slowly, continuously filling the blood in all directions.

Moreover, it is very simple to liquidate and whitewash this anti-human behavior afterwards. As long as some people with high status climb up and shout that this is inhumane, and then smash these mines and factories that have lost their historical role, then A group of people will naturally gather around the leader.

This is basically a routine in the Ursas Empire. Although Tallulah's speech is intermittent and full of personal subjective prejudices as an infected person, Li Lin has to show respect for this system in terms of politics and administration. own homage.He successfully alleviated the social fluctuations caused by the extreme lack of supplies within Ursus, and also left behind the rights and gameplay that those in power can cancel at any time.More importantly, it retains the industrial system of the entire Ursas, and it retains and produces persistently.

You can't expect those infected people to be honest all the time, can you?Ursus must have an army, and an elite army at that.The infected will not stay in the mine all the time.Through this vertical cut of political identity, all political entities except the infected have won.Although the infected people have suffered a lot, according to their living conditions and their own situation, as long as any person in a high position ascends to the top and calls out, the outbreak of popular sentiment among the infected people will naturally be resolved. possible hidden dangers.

Those who solve the problem of the Infested will be lauded throughout the Empire as the new, celebrated Emperor.And those emperors who return to the policy of the infected will suffer infamy.

But in theory, with the rapid development of the current industry, the current mines and factories of infected people seem to no longer need such sharp conflicts to reproduce and grow.But the attitude shown now has completely returned to the original situation.

It seems that technological progress has stagnated on the land of Ursus, they still use older models of factories and mines, and the deployed weapons are relatively more advanced, but they are also relatively old.And looking at the attitudes of those infected, it seems that there is no emperor or savior who can appease them.

This shows that the political model provided by Tallulah still has some problems.

All behaviors must have their internal reasons. It is impossible for the infected to suffer such great persecution because of some superficial reasons. There must be deeper reasons driving them.

And this reason does not seem to be able to be obtained from Tallulah, a woman who is currently showing a foolishness.At least for now, she is just a pure idealist, and she has no determination to face a normal and brutal death.

Even when asked about the death of those infected people and the death of relatives and friends, the attitude shown was hesitant, and it could even be said to be a completely evasive attitude.This doesn't look like a normal leader in any way, and looks more like the protagonist of some fluid story that's more playful.

This is not what Li Lin wants to see.What he wants to see is something more real.

"It's coming soon. When the time comes, I will introduce Alina to you. She understands many things, and your question may have the answer!"

"Really? Then I don't have any expectations and look forward to it."

I'd like to see who Alina is.

Li Lin frowned as he sniffed a faint burning smell by Tallulah's side.

He always felt a subtle smell coming from Tallulah's body, but he was not sure what its source was.

Chapter 22 The Deer and the Dragon

The members of the Alpha Squad have an invisible pressure on the infected.

Although they know very well that they are all infected with each other, there should not be any huge gap, but there is still a gap between the infected.Especially watching the members of the Alpha team stepping on the anti-gravity skateboards, collecting all kinds of data with unimaginable postures, hunting and inputting various samples from the forest, watching the mending under their feet There is always a feeling of living in the Middle Ages with the sled.

Even the soldiers under the Patriots couldn't help but stare sideways at the Alpha Squad.Even they have never seen such a special combat unit.They have witnessed many terrible or unimaginable enemies and phenomena.But such a combat unit that violated the normal rules was something they had never thought of.

Fully enclosed and covered structure, electronic sound, if it is not for the exposed skin and self-proven actions, it is even doubtful whether there are human beings inside.

So when these grotesque products appeared in front of the mobile camp, the terrifying and weird feeling naturally caused the opposite side to sprinkle sparse arrows again.But this time, even Li Lin didn't do anything.Let those rough-made arrows shoot at the armor, and then fall powerlessly.

The raised structures on the armor and cloak also slowly subsided, and gradually changed into the original angular and flowing state.This kind of armor that looks like a living thing has deepened the curiosity and fear in the hearts of all the infected people towards the Alpha team and the Valley of Xinnen.People always have a strange attitude towards things that are beyond common sense.Either extreme fear or extreme admiration.

When the anti-gravity fighters landed in the temporary mobile camp, the sense of the times they showed even made some educated infected people subconsciously rub the mud on their hands and the dirt on their clothes , I want to behave neatly.In their eyes, these extraordinary fighters even have a wonderful fear and awe.

It's just that after the food provided by the Valley of Hinnom was delivered to the entire camp and distributed as the day's food, the attitude towards these mysterious people changed from vigilance and awe to an extremely complicated and difficult combination of all kinds of worries. verbal expression.

It's unpalatable, it's really unpalatable.Ordinary language is not enough to describe the heart that is covered with scorched earth after taking a bite.

And taking advantage of the distressed expressions of those people, Li Lin also stepped forward in a timely manner, and once again expressed his core philosophy and ideas as Xinnen Valley Company.

It has to be said that Ursus is indeed a desert of development to a certain extent, and basically the people here have never heard of Li Lin's name.But they still have a concept of what kind of virtue a capitalist is.

So against each other, these Ursans embraced their new, possibly cut, identities.After all, if you take other people's supplies, don't care how unpalatable they are, those things can really save lives.In addition, it is very likely that you will not be able to beat it. Isn't it a matter of course to show a smile?

In such a happy and harmonious atmosphere, they also successfully ran to a small room that was built, and saw the woman that Tallulah had been strongly recommending.

"Miss Alina, is that right? It's a great pleasure to meet you. I'm Li Lin, the director of Xinnen Valley Company."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, but can you wait? I have to tell this kid about this..."

"Of course no problem, please."

Signaling the alpha fighters to start testing the mood of the environment around the camp, Li Lin watched the woman with a gentle smile sitting on a chair in the tent, and together with Tallulah, who was honest and smiling, watched this gentle girl teach Looking like teenagers.

Ursus is a very fixed world, even if the icefield guerrillas have been operating in this country for a long time, they have caused many things and created countless legends and legends.But essentially, they have changed nothing in the world.They have formed a unique wandering culture on the ice sheet, struggling to survive on the permafrost of the Ursas ice sheet, and absorbing various living forces to strengthen themselves.

In front of Alina were a group of infected children.Those children with all kinds of ore disease symbols on their bodies looked at Li Lin curiously, but they still didn't say much, and followed the girl to learn some characters and basic knowledge obediently.After counting for 10 minutes, Alina announced that the class could be dismissed, and the students nodded obediently, and then rushed out of the tent, making happy voices wanting to have fun, in exchange for a helpless smile from the girl .

"Want to let infected people learn basic knowledge? Very good idea, very useful for us."

"I still want to let these children know some things and understand some truths...Talulah, who is this gentleman?"

Can you introduce me?

Although she had already introduced herself once, Alina didn't show anything else, but looked at Tallulah with a questioning expression.

And Tallulah didn't feel anything, and showed a simple and honest smile, and very excitedly introduced Li Lin to the only friend in front of her, or to her.

"Li Lin, the person in charge of Xinnen Valley Company, is also a helper for the infected. He also provided us with a lot of supplies to ensure our survival this winter. He really helped us a lot, which is very good people."

"Is that so? Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Li Lin. I just don't know what we can do..."

"You really can't do anything to me now. But I think you can do it in the future."

Looking at the worried girl, Li Lin nodded naturally, sat opposite Alina, and said frankly:

"I'm not a philanthropist, and I'm not a good person in Tallulah's mouth. I just hope to get to know the spiritual leaders and opinion leaders of you infected people, and help me do something."

"I am not a spiritual leader or opinion leader, but since you have given us help, if possible, I can only represent myself to help you do what I can. I can't guarantee other things and people .Everyone has been suffering for too long..."

"You won't be in pain soon, believe me. At least the technology of Xinnen Valley Company can save you from this sea of ​​suffering."

A series of plans related to memes and soul technology were turning in his mind. Li Lin chose a plan from his mind, and looked at the two girls in front of him with a smile.

"Are you interested in learning about the operation mode of the soul and mind? Perhaps only after you have a preliminary impression and thinking about these, can you understand what I want."

Chapter 23 Conversion

Anchor point, this thing has always been the foundation of Xinnen Valley Company.

After piercing the reality hole, one must have a certain understanding of its memes and feelings before being able to measure the area and depth of the entire river and use technical means to anchor it.

These include, but are not limited to, the cognition of the essence of the soul, the understanding of the trend of thought, the extension of personal thoughts, as well as powerful abilities and personal sacrifices for stepping into the river.In the past, Li Lin handled all of this.

Only Li Lin can step into the river again, create a perforated area without sacrifice or risk, tear the barrier between reality and illusion, and fix a materialized portal.This experiment has been certified in the mouth of the abyss—that is, the cesspit he just punched out.Moreover, the theory of soul network teleportation and gliding has also been confirmed, so the next step is to test the views on self-cognition, thoughts and anchoring.
