We are from the future ark

This bunch of reckless men...it seems like they really need a smart and cultured person to lead them.
"I'll see if I can ask for a favor and let me work under that intellectual."
"Come on, kid, aren't you comfortable working under the Patriot?" The older Sarkaz laughed, and then said nothing more.
At this moment, inside the conference room, Chen Qi and the Regicide saw the full picture of the place.
When he came in, he found that it wasn't just Tallulah. There were many people around the conference room, some familiar to Chen Qi and some unfamiliar to him.
A Carters woman with long white ears and a burly man in heavy armor sat next to her, and on the high platform between the two of them sat a slender yet extremely domineering woman with dragon horns.
"leader."
"...King Slayer, you are finally back safe and sound." Tallulah smiled heartily when she saw the newcomer. However, her eyes kept glancing at Chen Qi who was standing aside, intentionally or unintentionally.
The regicide saw all of this and his face turned black.
Chief, I suspect you are just treating me as a tool. You are more concerned about this kid next to you, right?
"I have brought him out according to the plan based on the leader's instructions." The King Slayer said while suppressing his anger, but his words revealed something that made Chen Qi curious.
I see... The capture of the Kingslayer was part of the plan? So she was sure I would come to the Reunion?
Chen Qi couldn't help but start thinking after hearing this. He vaguely felt that Tallulah seemed to be playing a big game of chess.
If that's the case... that's too bad. Chen Qi's biggest reliance is Aunt Tallulah's inability to see the big picture and her tendency to be used as a tool by others, but if Aunt Tallulah somehow breaks this limitation... then he can't guess what will happen next.
"Yes." Tallulah nodded and said to the King Slayer, "Go and rest first. You must be tired after the long journey."
"Yes." The Regicide nodded and left.
With the departure of the Kingslayer, only Chen Qi and Tallulah were left, along with the other two members of the Integration Movement who were looking at him with scrutiny.
"...Ms. Tallulah." Chen Qi broke the silence first and greeted Tallulah in a fairly kind manner.
"What's wrong? Why don't you call me aunt this time?"
Tallulah asked with great interest, with a subtle smile on her face, as if she was surprised that Chen Qi was so honest in changing his address.
"Because I'm not sure now, are you the Aunt Tallulah I know?" Tallulah was examining Chen Qi, and Chen Qi was also examining Tallulah. His eyes moved around, looking at Tallulah's body unscrupulously, but there was not a single evil thought in his heart.
Chen Qi's eyes were cold, as if he was not looking at the person he had once been closest to, but a complete stranger.
No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense. Aunt Tallulah didn't have that kind of brain later on. She was only suitable to be a general who charged into battle. As a leader, she was stubborn, had a strong mindset, was not good at controlling her subordinates, and didn't know how to manage. No matter how you look at it, she was not someone who could lead the integration movement.
Although Chen Qi didn't speak along the way, he was always observing his surroundings.
Contrary to his expectation, Chernobog was not abandoned. After the war, the Reunion Movement, an infected group that hated Ursus and non-infected people, did not go on a killing spree here. Instead, they were orderly and even cleaned up the battlefield and carried out repair work.
All of this was very wrong. It did not conform to the integration movement that Chen Qi had expected, nor did it conform to Chen Qi's impression of Aunt Tallulah's abilities.
It's all so abnormal.
"You know me, but I don't know you, so I don't care what you think of me."
As Tallulah spoke, she slowly walked down from the height. She was not as tall as Chen Qi, but she had a natural aura of a superior, making people feel that she was particularly tall.
However, in front of Chen Qi, Tallulah's pressure was almost unnoticeable. She just looked at the tall young man in front of her normally, with an indescribable expression in her eyes.
"...Now that you're here, you must be tired. I'll arrange a place for you to rest."
"Frost Star."
"Here." The white long-eared girl from the Carters tribe walked out slowly.
"...Take him to the room I arranged for him earlier." Tallulah said lightly.
"Yes."
Shuang Xing was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and came to Chen Qi's side.
"You are..." However, Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he saw the person coming. He felt that this girl looked familiar before, and when she got closer, Chen Qi seemed to remember something.
This girl...is not from Rhodes Island...
"...Next, I will take you to your dormitory."
The girl named Frost Star did not notice Chen Qi's expression. She spoke lightly, just like the uncontrollable coldness around her, and was indifferent to everything.
"You'd better not play tricks. This is Chernobyl. Our people are everywhere."
"It seems that I have no choice?" Chen Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard that. He seemed to have really walked into the tiger's den.
It was a wrong decision... Chen Qi shook his head, but it seemed that he had no chance to regret it.
I can only... hope that Kal'tsit and the others plan everything out before taking action.
"…Patriots, tomorrow, announce to all members of the Reunion Movement that Chen Qi will officially become the military advisor of the Reunion Movement. All non-senior cadres will need to obey his orders."
"You just believe him that much, Taru."
On the other side, the burly man in heavy armor beside him uttered a hoarse and intermittent old voice.
"He is different from us."
"That's why I said that he only announced his existence and status. He cannot command our senior cadres." Tallulah smiled mysteriously, and the Patriot was also stunned when he heard it, and then he suddenly realized it.
It is impossible to command high-level cadres. In the case of the integration movement, high-level cadres all have their own trusted teams under them. These teams basically only obey their orders, and no one else has the right to command.
In other words, the identity of this consultant is just an empty shell.
"I'll do as you say." The Patriot nodded.
"Yes." Tallulah agreed, then remembered something and continued to say to the Patriot:
"Restrict your people more and don't let them cause trouble or kill people in the city. We took Chernobyl for development."
"I understand." The Patriot nodded and was happy to accept such a job.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After the patriot finished speaking, he slowly left. Suddenly, Tallulah was the only one left in the entire conference hall.
Tallulah lay down on the recliner a little tiredly, but her face no longer had the dignity it had before. She muttered to herself with a headache, "He seems to have discovered something... What should I do?"
"His intuition has always been very sharp."
Suddenly, another voice appeared in the shadows. This voice was obviously a female voice, and at first glance, it was very similar to Tallulah's voice!
But compared to Tallulah's voice, this voice seemed more mature and even a little charming.
"So what do you think we should do now?" Tallulah said with a headache, while the figure hiding in the shadows smiled slightly and said lightly:
"I don't care. My goal is just his safety and the death of the other guy."
“We are in agreement on this point.”
"……Ah."
Tallulah smiled slightly when she heard this. There was no malice in her smile, but it had a different feeling.
"I never thought that I would have such a good nephew in the future."
"——It's a pity that he doesn't have a good mother. Either his biological mother or his adoptive mother."
Tallulah murmured to herself and slowly closed her eyes. The figure on the other side also stopped talking after seeing this scene.
"Ah..." The figure sighed lightly, but after a long time, only her mumbling could be heard.
"Before, I always thought it was a pity that you were not my child."
"Now... I hope it's still like this."
There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version
Chapter 31: Froststar's Inquiry
"Click."
Following a sound, the door of the room opened, and Shuangxing brought Chen Qi to a room that looked quite good. The layout was relatively simple, with a desk, a bed and a separate bathroom.
"The conditions are a bit simple, perhaps not as good as the treatment you received in Rhodes Island." Frost Star said calmly: "However, this is the best treatment we can provide. Many of our compatriots are still unclear about how to settle down."
"Don't worry, I know the predicament of your integration movement."
Chen Qi smiled slightly, looking at the whole set of bedding, which was not new but still very clean, and was quite satisfied. He could accept second-hand products, but he could not tolerate dirtiness. This had nothing to do with mysophobia, but was a little occupational disease of his as a doctor.
"Such a large number of infected people need to be accommodated. I guess you are still worried about the daily expenses."
"...No comment."
This seemed to involve confidential information. Shuang Xing did not reveal too much to Chen Qi, but from her slightly changed expression, it was obvious that Chen Qi had hit the point.
Although Chernobyl is the key mobile city of Ursus, it is also because of this that although the business here is active and prosperous, it also has no farmland and no way to be self-sufficient. Almost everything that runs here is imported.
By capturing such a city, the Integration Movement might be able to gather a lot of wealth, but they would be in a difficult situation when it comes to food, daily necessities, and other ordinary things.
If it were Chen Qi, he would never choose such a central city to attack, but start from the basic cities nearby to monopolize agricultural production and infrastructure engineering. These central cities with strict security and prosperous trade can almost be said to be self-destructive.
Forget it. These are not things he should worry about anyway. When things really get out of hand, Chen Qi believes that Aunt Tallulah will definitely ask him for advice.
As for why Chen Qi was so confident, there was no doubt that he had realized that in the integration movement, apart from causing destruction, there was no one who understood development. It might be okay to let these saboteurs charge into battle, but when it came to development, they were completely in the dark.
"Hmm?" However, Chen Qi had already laid down on the bed, but he noticed that Shuang Xing was still lingering. Chen Qi was slightly stunned, and asked:
"What's wrong? Are you going to stay here and monitor me?"
"..." However, Frost Star did not answer after hearing this. She pursed her lips gently, as if she wanted to say something difficult to say.
Looking at Frost Star like this, Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a little strange, and then he suddenly thought of something and his expression suddenly became serious.
This scene made Chen Qi feel like déjà vu.
Back then, Chen Qi, who had just taken office as the supreme commander of Rhodes Island, came to Victoria and discussed an agreement with the crown prince of Victoria at that time. The discussion lasted for several days. Perhaps Victoria felt that the price asked for by Rhodes Island was too high, so no deal was reached.
That day, after Chen Qi returned to the hotel arranged by Victoria, a similar scene occurred.
A delicate and beautiful girl named Victoria suddenly came to his room, saying that she was sent by the royal family. When Chen Qi was still feeling strange, he saw Victoria taking off her clothes in front of him with blushing cheeks.
That time Chen Qi was really scared, and his sister Amiya found out about it afterwards. Amiya was so angry that she almost took off her ring and turned into a devil to push Victoria over.
Although he got through it safely, the incident left a deep impression on Chen Qi. It was the first time for a young and ignorant boy like him to face such blatant "diplomatic tactics".
And now, Shuang Xing's situation was very similar to what Chen Qi had experienced back then. The same unspeakable look made Chen Qi have strange thoughts in his mind.
Aunt Tallulah, isn't she trying to keep him in the Reunion this way?!
This - this is really hard to say. Although Chen Qi didn't know Shuang Xing, he could vaguely feel that Shuang Xing was very strong.
Although he is not the kind of doctor who is completely powerless, Chi Xiao is not with him now, and he has almost no effective means of combat!
What if he really forced himself on her...it seemed like he had no way to resist?
Then, while seeing Chen Qi's serious expression, Shuang Xing silently reached her hand into her clothes, and finally, she took out something.
"...Candy, do you want some?"
"……Um?"
Chen Qi had been planning to refuse in a dignified manner, but when he saw Shuang Xing's slightly red cheeks taking out a small bag of candy from her arms, he was stunned.
...That's it? Why are you blushing? When Chen Qi thought of this, he suddenly thought of another possibility.
No, this might be a trap. This candy might not be real candy. It might be just like the pink candy that someone put on his desk last time. You can smell it with your nose, a lot of pink flowers have been added to it.
"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" Shuang Xing obviously saw Chen Qi's suspicion. He calmly took out a pill, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently.
Feeling the tingling sensation on the tip of his tongue, Shuang Xing also thought of something and said lightly:
"But this may be too spicy for you. It's okay if you don't want to eat it."
As he said this, Shuang Xing silently placed a handful of candy on Chen Qi's bedside table. Chen Qi looked at all this and seemed to have guessed something, revealing a somewhat understanding expression.
——This is “bribery”.
"I heard from Tallulah that you are from the future." Frost Star finally asked the question she wanted to know most, the question she cared about most.
"You know Tallulah and even call her aunt. Obviously, you know more than us."
"…Although it's a little difficult to say, I want to ask you something for the sake of integrating the movement."
Frost Star looked directly at Chen Qi, and with a slight sense of shame, she finally pried open her mouth and spoke her request for the first time.
"...Please, tell me something about the future."
"Please tell me, our integrated movement - no, our infected people, where should we go in the future."
