"...I have a set of sword techniques here, which complement the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique. I originally planned to keep it in the bottom of my box, but seeing that you have the same troubles as I did back then, I will give you this sword manual today."

"But, boy, I advise you to cut off the pregnancy when necessary and don't worry too much. Otherwise, no matter how healthy you are, you may die in a woman's belly."

Old Wei stuffed an ancient book in his arms into Chen Qi's arms, whispered to Chen Qi, then patted his shoulder gently and said meaningfully.

"Go back and read this sword manual by yourself in private. It's up to you whether you want to learn it or not. Remember, keep it well hidden. Or you can copy a copy yourself and return it to me after you're done."

"..."

Chen Qi took a look at the sword manual in his arms, but there was no name on it and he couldn't tell anything. In the end, he just nodded.

Chapter 26: Happy New Year, Rhode Island

This night should be the longest night in Longmen. After Chen Qi returned to Rhodes Island and explained to Ifrit, Amiya, Lappland and others who had been waiting for him on Rhodes Island, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

However, on this day, the lights in Longmen were still on, and the bustling hustle and bustle showed no signs of abating. This kind of bustle would probably continue until the early morning of the next day.

Facing the huge window of the interior of the Rhodes Island ship, Chen Qi sat on the windowsill that was big enough for several people to lie down. He leaned there and looked at the starry sky outside the window.

"Why are you sitting here alone?"

On one side, there came a voice that was quite familiar to Chen Qi. Then, along with the sound of footsteps, two figures of completely opposite colors were seen.

"Froststar, Tallulah...Aunt?"

"Why, don't you recognize your aunt?"

However, Chen Qi's hesitation made Tallulah a little unhappy. She walked a few steps to Chen Qi, grabbed his ear, and said in a funny tone:

"Well, kid, you left your aunt with the Reunion Movement for some time, and now you don't recognize her when you come back?"

"Oh, it hurts! I'm busy. Aunt Tallulah, please forgive me."

He did have some psychological trauma from this move. Even though Chen Qi could indeed dodge it, he had never resisted this kind of attack from Tallulah, so it was natural for him to endure it now.

Frost Star, who was standing by, looked at Chen Qi who was subdued by Tallulah in such a simple way, and her eyes lit up slightly.

The boy in front of her, who was a few years younger than her, had never shown any signs of distress in Kjerag's cold winter, but now, he was subdued by such a simple move.

Frost Star subconsciously looked at his palms, but when he thought about the possibility of frostbite if he easily touched people, he gave up the idea.

The punishment only lasted for a short while. Talulah and Frost Star both sat on the windowsill nearby, following Chen Qi's gaze and looking at the starry sky.

"…There are no more problems with the Reunion Movement. The severe winter is no longer a concern there. The houses have been repaired, and there is food being transported from Longmen."

"Longmen sent a lot of flour, as well as eggs, beef, and onions." Shuangxing changed her position, hugged her knees against the wall, sat on the ground very close to Chen Qi, and said with a smile:

"The old stubborn man is teaching his men how to make Ursus dumplings. Tallulah is also learning. There is finally a warm feeling in Chernobog."

"Really?" Chen Qi nodded when he heard that. His gaze did not shift away from the starry sky, but a smile appeared on his face.

"In that case... that's fine."

"Warmth requires firewood and heat. The integration movement has always had firewood to burn, but it just lacks a little spark."

A cold voice came slowly from the other end of the corridor. Kal'tsit, with a cold face as usual, walked over with Amiya.

"We have already established a medical clinic in Chernobog. It can provide some assistance and basic medical environment to members who are in urgent need of Originium Disease."

"There is another clinic in Chernobog. Ansel said that an old man there found them and wanted to meet our people from Rhodes Island."

"Moreover, he seems to have witnessed our riot in Chernobyl, and he specifically asked to see you."

"Ansel said that the old man has an unusual temperament. I think we should pay more attention to it."

"...I will go." Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't have any acquaintances in Chernobyl, but since the other party said so, it would be good to take some time to meet him.

"…By the way, where's the Doctor?"

"Him? I'll let him get some fresh air on the deck and calm down a bit." Kal'tsit said calmly, but her tone was extremely cold. "He may have been under too much pressure recently and has some mental disorders. I'll give him a good course of treatment."

"...Please stop here."

Thinking that the doctor might be receiving the same treatment as Huafalin on a daily basis, Chen Qi, the instigator of all this, felt a little guilty and had to say this.

However, the doctor is probably fine now. I believe that the operators who patrol the deck on a daily basis will come and take the doctor down soon.

"By the way, some time ago, I asked Skadi and Angelina to take several operators of the Reunion Movement to a remote village in Casimir and Warrenmude. There are members of Rhodes Island who we need to recruit or recall."

"...I already know about this matter. Why are you reporting it to me only now?" Kal'tsit frowned upon hearing this, but seemed to have thought of Chen Qi's busy schedule in the past few days. After a long while, she said calmly:

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Anyway, even if you don't tell me, I will send people to these two places to recall the members of Rhodes Island."

"Next time, remember to report to me. As long as it's a reasonable request, I will probably agree to it."

"Thank you, Dr. Kal'tsit, for your generosity." Chen Qi also rarely smiled playfully and said to Kal'tsit in a mischievous way.

Looking at the rare teasing expression on the boy in front of her, Kal'tsit, who originally disliked frivolous people, paused slightly and shook her head helplessly.

She really did... lack some resistance in this regard.

"Hey? Why are there so many people?"

On the other end, the doctor's voice came slowly, and Lappland and Ifrit were beside him. Soon he came into everyone's sight.

However, he now looked a little disheveled. The clothes he was wearing, which were originally for welcoming the New Year, had become wrinkled, especially the collar at his neck, which was wrinkled beyond recognition, as if it had been pressed down by something.

"...You're lucky. You were let down so quickly." Kal'tsit's first words when she saw the doctor were not in a good mood, but she ignored him after that.

"You almost strangled me to death. How big is our grudge?"

The Doctor was still frightened when he saw Kal'tsit, and then when he noticed Chen Qi's figure, he glared at him fiercely. However, his pupils were unable to successfully convey the message through the protective mask.

"I couldn't sleep, so I was taking a walk in Rhode Island, and I saw Silly Dog arguing with the doctor on the deck."

Ifrit also had a sleepy look on her face. She had taken off her usual armor and shield. She was now wearing cotton pajamas. She looked less capable than usual and more natural.

"Chen Qi... let me lean on you. If I fall asleep, remember to carry me back..."

"Okay, okay, but just don't drool on me."

Chen Qi skillfully accepted Ifrit's request, turned around and sat down. Ifrit also lay down on the windowsill, resting his head on Chen Qi's knees, but did not fall asleep immediately.

"Oh, that's right!" At this moment, Amiya seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly clapped her hands and said to everyone:

"I heard from Miss Huai Hu that we are going to eat dumplings today for the New Year. In the cafeteria, Mr. Jiao Feng and many others are making dumplings!"

"I'll go bring some over for everyone, let's eat dumplings together!"

"Wait, Amiya, eating midnight snacks is not good for your health..."

However, Kal'tsit's voice failed to stop Amiya from running. Kal'tsit wanted to stop Amiya, but after a long while, she put down her hand and said helplessly:

"At least, bring me some vegetarian dumplings..."

"Yeah...eat dumplings..." Ifrit's weak voice came slowly. However, her current condition made people doubt whether she could hold on until the dumplings were served to her.

"Chen Qi... I'm about to fall asleep... Remember to put the dumplings in my mouth, then I'll know it's time to eat..."

"Okay, okay, I'll feed you."

Chen Qi touched Ifrit's hair to help her relax, but on the other side, his eyes looked out the window again at the starry sky.

On the other side of the starry sky, Longmen’s fireworks were still blooming in the sky, reflecting everyone’s smile.

"--etc!"

Then, all of a sudden, Ifrit, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly from Chen Qi's arms with a serious look on his face, which made people a little nervous.

"I forgot something very important. If I don't finish it today, I won't be able to get it tomorrow!"

As he said this, Ifrit suddenly looked at Chen Qi standing aside, and suddenly made a bow with both hands, and said to Chen Qi with a playful smile:

"Chen Qi! Happy New Year! Give me the red envelope!"

"—I thought you had forgotten about it."

Chen Qi was also stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered this reserved activity. However, looking at the fire-breathing dragon in front of him who was asking for a red envelope with his hands spread out, he said lightly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't prepare it this year, and I've been wanting to say it for a long time. You're older than me, aren't you?"

"'All children in Rhodes Island can ask me for red envelopes', that's what you said at the beginning!" However, Ifrit obviously didn't buy it, and said to Chen Qi:

"I am a child~Chen Qi~Give me a red envelope~"

"No... I really don't have any..." Chen Qi looked bitter upon seeing this. He really didn't have any money prepared for the red envelope.

However, Chen Qi suddenly thought of something and looked at the other side where Doctor and Kal'tsit were standing side by side.

"——Dr. Kal'tsit! Doctor! Happy New Year! Give me the red envelopes!" Chen Qi learned and applied on the spot, and suddenly, a pair of small hands stretched out in front of the Doctor and Kal'tsit.

"?"X2

However, Kal'tsit and the Doctor were both stunned by this. After looking at each other for a while, they exchanged glances.

In the end, no one knew how the two exchanged glances. In the end, all we saw was the doctor, whose face was covered with a protective mask, reluctantly taking out a stack of Lungmen coins from his pocket.

"100 Longmen coins, is that enough?"

"That's enough, Doctor. Happy New Year and all the best!"

It was the first time in his life that he actively asked for a red envelope and was able to get 100 Longmen coins. For Chen Qi, this was an unexpected gain.

However, after Chen Qitao received the first red envelope, the doctor suddenly felt that several eyes were suddenly looking at him - the money in his hand.

"——Doctor!"

"I have no money left!"

However, the moment everyone's voices arose, the doctor let out a wail and pretended to run away.

But before he took a few steps, suddenly, a red shadow fell from the sky and scared the doctor back several steps.

"…Happy New Year, red envelope?"

In front of the doctor, Hong's figure slowly appeared, imitated the words she had heard before, and stretched out her little hand to the doctor.

At this moment, the doctor under the mask has given up thinking.

During the New Year, every child smiled happily, accompanied by bursts of wailing from the doctor, and every child received their own red envelope.

Happy New Year, Rhode Island.

Chapter 27: Ursus's General, Hellagur's Joining

On the second day after the New Year, when the sky was still dim, the rear door of Rhodes Island slowly opened, and a small land vehicle drove towards Chernobyl at a very steady speed.

Because they had been informed beforehand, there was no obstruction. After confirming the identities of the people, the people on routine patrol of the Integration Movement let them pass without any hindrance.

"Although only a short period of time has passed, it does seem that a lot has been recovered."

Looking at Chernobyl in front of him, where he had caused a big fuss a few months ago and was bombed to pieces by the artillery fire of the Ursus Legion half a month ago, at this moment, this city that was like a ruin after the war was slowly recovering.

Although there are still some broken walls and tiles, the pillars have been re-erected in many places. Although it is still difficult to restore the original high-rise buildings in Chernobyl, it is not a big problem to build a bungalow that can shelter from the wind and rain.

The streets have become clean again. Although potholes are unavoidable, the gravel has been cleared. It may be a little difficult for land vehicles to pass, but it is not a big problem for individuals to walk.

"Well, it looks a lot better than before I left."

Frost Star, who was beside Chen Qi and returned to Chernobog with him this time, could feel the changes inside Chernobog more intuitively than Chen Qi, and how much manpower and material resources were needed behind all this.

Fortunately, the integration movement has never been short of manpower, and Longmen’s supply of material resources has always been timely. Chernobyl can recover so quickly, and Longmen’s contribution is indispensable.

The two of them came here because of what Kal'tsit told Chen Qi yesterday. In Chernobyl, there was an old man in the clinic who asked to see him by name.

Chen Qi didn't know many people in Chernobog, but according to Ansel in Chernobog, the old man's temperament seemed extraordinary, and from the fact that he knew Chen Qi, he seemed to have some kind of potential network of relationships and could know about the Integration Movement.

After all, for ordinary people in Chernobyl, the Integration Movement is something they try their best to avoid. Even though there are no original civilians left in Chernobyl now, he has not left with the large number of civilians, but has stayed in the city. It can be said that he is a big shot.

As a civilian, he is not afraid of the Reunion Movement, a violent organization that captures mobile cities and even treats non-infected people extremely badly at the beginning. It is probably hard to believe that he is a civilian.

"That's probably where it is."

The two came to a place where it was obvious that there were more Integration Movement guards. It was inside a very inconspicuous and narrow alley inside Chernobyl. It seemed that it would be difficult for one person to walk.

Shuang Xing and Chen Qi entered the alley without saying a word. The half-closed door in the alley slowly opened, and the two of them entered this extremely difficult-to-find clinic.

It is called a clinic, but in fact it is just the interior of a basement. Since it is a basement, the lighting is not very good, but correspondingly, the space is much wider, at least not as shabby as it looks on the surface.

There was a bright light on in the basement, and you could see several beds, some gauze hanging on the side, and some clothes that looked like hospital gowns.

On a bed below, there was a man wearing clothes that did not look like a doctor's. He had long pale hair, but bird-feather-like hair growing on his ears. It was obvious that the old man was of the Liberian race.
