We are from the future ark

"But now, since we belong to the same group, I hope you can put aside your past grudges."

"The Integration Movement needs Chen Qi's talents. He is incomparable to us in terms of command, economy, and development."

"Okay, do you have any questions?"

As soon as Tallulah finished speaking, a pair of small hands were raised.

It's Mephistopheles'.

"Sister Tallulah, he and the people from Rhodes Island seriously injured Faust. Can we really trust such a person?"

Mephistopheles was obviously still brooding over Chen Qi's criticism of Faust. The two had a very good relationship and had been inseparable since many people in the Integration Movement knew them.

Even in the Phantom Crossbowmen team where Faust was, there was a joke going around: Can't find the captain? That's easy. You can try pointing a crossbow at Mephisto. The next second, you'll either see the captain or your own brains.

Although it's just a joke, it shows that Mephisto does not have a good reputation in the Integration Movement.

However, this also changed when Tallulah suddenly changed one day.

The arrival of Tallulah gave the Integration Movement a backbone. However, over a period of time, Tallulah's temperament changed drastically. She became less friendly, and became brutal, fierce, majestic, and had a strong desire for revenge. But this kind of Tallulah did not last long, and she soon changed back.

And it was after that that Tallulah did one thing—she called Mephistopheles and Faust into her bedroom.

That day, no one knew what happened. They only heard waves of begging for mercy coming from Tallulah's room in the middle of the night. The next day, just when the cadres of the Integration Movement were feeling a little uneasy, they saw Mephistopheles and Faust staggering out of Tallulah's bedroom, supporting each other, with bruised faces and noses.

However, what was unexpected was that the very next day after Faust recovered from his injury, he beat Mephistopheles again, which shocked both Mephistopheles' men and Faust's Phantom Crossbowmen team.

However, it was also because of this that Mephisto seemed to become much more normal from then on.

He no longer treated his subordinates as tools, and healed his compatriots' injuries carefully. He was even semi-forced by Faust and Tallulah to voluntarily apologize to all his subordinates.

Everyone remembered how the kid was beaten black and blue that day, with tears and snot all over his face. As a result, these members who were originally very dissatisfied with Mephisto were no longer angry.

Simply put, for the people of the Integration Movement, Mephistopheles is still a child who can admit his mistakes and correct them, and seems to have done a good job. He is just a little stubborn sometimes, but with Faust guiding him, he is still honest.

As soon as Mephisto said this, there were many voices of agreement, most of which came from the middle-level cadres of the Reunion Movement. Among them, a man holding a long sword and wearing a red mask, and another burly man wearing blood-red heavy armor and an axe were the most in agreement.

"That, Mephistopheles, I've said before, we need to put aside our differences."

Tallulah naturally knew the importance of Faust to Mephistopheles. To be honest, the fact that Mephistopheles could still sit here obediently and attend the meeting instead of biting people was the reason why Faust was not in serious danger.

It is indeed a bit difficult for Mephistopheles to completely ignore those who hurt Faust.

"Besides, I think Chen Qi should contribute to Faust's treatment, right?"

"…As long as there are medicinal herbs, it will be fine."

Chen Qi did not refuse when he heard this. There was no other way. After all, it was he who made the sniper named Faust like this. He did not feel any guilt about his decision. After all, it was a life-and-death battle, how could he stop?

"If there are any casualties in the Reunion Movement, you can come to me. As a battlefield doctor, I still know some medical skills."

"……snort."

Mephistopheles's expression improved a little after hearing this, but he was still upset and sat back reluctantly.

"No need, my Originium skills can help my compatriots heal their injuries."

"But you can't guarantee that you'll be there anytime and anywhere." Chen Qi chuckled, and suddenly felt that this man named Mephisto was a little cute. He looked like those naughty kids running around on Rhodes Island.

Of course, all this stems from the fact that Chen Qi doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know Faust or Mephistopheles, so his perception of the two can basically only rely on this first impression.

"...In that case, if there are no objections, we will adjourn the meeting."

Seeing that the group didn't seem to have anything else to say, Tallulah thought that this matter was easier than she thought, so she waved her hand and said.

"...Hmm? Frost, Star."

On the other side, the burly Patriot in heavy armor seemed to have noticed something strange about Frost Star beside him. Frost Star looked listless, with his little head moving from side to side, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

When everyone left, Frost Star was still standing there in a daze. The Patriot finally couldn't help but call her.

"Ah, old stubborn man."

"Frost Star, why didn't you get enough rest?" The Patriot couldn't help but show some concern. He knew that he and Frost Star were very busy recently. The city of Qie had just been taken and there were still many things they needed to deal with.

Although Shuangxing and he were not very close on a daily basis, they were, after all, father and daughter in name only.

The patriot treats Frost Star sincerely, treating her like his own daughter.

"Nothing..." Shuang Xing touched her temple in distress when she heard that. She hadn't slept the whole night and had accompanied Chen Qi to watch the stars all night, and unknowingly they had turned it into watching the sunrise.

"By the way, old stubborn man, I asked Chen Qi about the future yesterday."

"…What did he say?"

The Patriot was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked intermittently. He wanted to remain calm, but it was still difficult for him to maintain his composure on this topic which was both taboo and extremely tempting.

"...He didn't give me a specific reply." Shuangxing shook her head, looking regretful and a little resentful. Anyone who spent a whole night investigating and found nothing would be a little emotional.

"This guy, I feel now that he will definitely be a person in power in the future. His ambiguous words are exactly the same as those of those pretentious Ursus officers."

"...Then, let me go and ask."

The patriot obviously understood this and immediately said that he would go and interrogate the matter in person.

However, as soon as the Patriot said this, he was stopped by Frost Star, who was feeling a headache.

"Don't, it's hard for you to say a word to that old stubborn man, and he looks murderous. He is just a doctor, don't scare him."

"...I will continue to ask, just relax, old stubborn man."

Shuang Xing rubbed his temples while speaking, and said in a very tired manner: "I'm going to take a rest first... I may have to continue practicing Tai Chi with this guy tonight..."

Froststar slowly left, and the Patriot stared at Froststar's tired back, unable to capture any emotion from her expression hidden behind the heavy armor and peeking.

However, quietly, the Patriots seemed to have made a decision.

You must know what is happening in the future...

Only in this way can he react, only in this way can he... remedy everything.

At the very least... he wanted to know about Frost Star.

I have to think of a way to pry open that kid's mouth. The Patriot began to turn his old and somewhat rotten head, thinking about the correct way to communicate his feelings before leaving Ursus...

Chapter 34: The Coming of Red

At night, after Chen Qi took a tour of the Integration Movement and gave some injured people simple bandages, he returned to his room.

There were too many people in the Integration Movement, and almost all of them were combat personnel, with almost no logistics and civilian staff. As a result, almost every combat department suffered casualties during the attack on Qie City. Chen Qi also spent a lot of effort to visit every department and team and get to know these people.

These may seem like small things, but for Chen Qi, getting acquainted with the people in the integration movement would naturally bring him a lot of convenience.

But when he returned to his room, he found a familiar figure already standing by his bed, waiting quietly.

"...I say, Miss Shuangxing?" Chen Qi's face looked a little unhappy, and he forced himself to smile and asked:

"Excuse me, what are you doing in my room? I'm very tired and I want to rest."

"…Three questions for today."

Obviously, Shuangxing had already prepared his words and answered very easily.

But Chen Qi obviously hadn't thought of this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't we already answered these three questions..."

"You just said I could ask three questions, but you didn't say I could only ask three questions."

In order to get the information she wanted from Chen Qi, Frost Star started playing word games. There was a strange blush on her face, and she seemed to feel a little embarrassed for her behavior.

After all, leaving aside the cadres, Frost Star herself doesn't have so many cunning minds. She looks cold on the surface, but in fact, she is not very good at playing tricks with others and is still very shy in nature.

It's just that she hasn't had to communicate with others in such a cautious and normal way for a long time.

"…Wordplay?"

Chen Qi was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine that Shuang Xing would play this trick on him. A girl who looked as innocent as Sister Amiya actually played this trick?

...On second thought, it's true. Sister Amiya didn't seem so innocent later on.

When Chen Qi thought of the scheming big sister Rabbit on his island, his expression twitched unconsciously, as if he recalled some bad memories.

"Ahem, anyway, I don't accept this kind of grand excuse. Please..."

"Click."

However, just when Chen Qi was about to righteously reject Shuang Xing's unreasonable demands, the door to his room was suddenly opened again.

A gust of battlefield air hits you in the face, and you can't help but subconsciously tense up your nerves. That's the unique breath of people on the battlefield.

"Old stubborn?"

Frost Star was a little surprised to see the person coming. He saw a burly Patriot wearing heavy armor, who slowly came into the room with a hunched back.

Suddenly, the originally spacious room became much more crowded due to the arrival of the patriots.

"Let me take a look, newcomer."

The Patriot spoke intermittently, and under the scrutinizing and puzzled looks of Frost Star and Chen Qi, he took something out of his arms and placed it on the floor.

All I saw was a crystal clear wine bottle that looked quite delicate, two glass cups, and two packages wrapped in oil paper. As the Patriot moved, I saw that one of the packages contained chopped red sausages, and the other contained a package of pickled cucumbers.

These things are not much, but in the integration movement, these things are huge.

"Old stubborn man, where did you get these things?!" Frost Star looked at the food on the floor in disbelief. She knew that the entire integration movement was short of food, and it would take a lot of effort to get these things.

If it weren't for knowing the old man's stubborn temper, Frost Star would really suspect whether these things were stolen from the civilians of Chernobyl.

"I saved a child who was being bullied. She gave it to me."

The Patriot spoke intermittently, then sat down on the floor, picked up the bottle of wine and unscrewed it.

This vodka was given to the patriot by a general when he was still in the army as a reward for his bravery in fighting. He always carried it with him and was reluctant to drink it. But this time, he spent all his money on it.

The Patriot was not a politician, and he had not learned any good methods to bribe his superiors in the army, so he chose the simplest and most brutal way - the drinking table.

There is a high probability that a person will talk nonsense when he is drunk. The patriot believes that as long as Chen Qi is drunk, he will definitely say something that he would not normally say.

By then, he would be able to ask some questions about the future that he wanted to know.

He personally poured a small cup for Chen Qi and placed it in front of Chen Qi. The Patriot said intermittently:

"Newcomer... Condolences, your performance today was very good."

"……Thanks."

An inexplicable light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, and then, under the expressionless gaze of the Patriot behind his helmet, he drank the glass of vodka in front of him.

"Ah..." Frost Star on the side seemed to want to remind everyone how strong the wine was, but was still a step too slow.

However, contrary to her expectations, after drinking this cup, Chen Qi's expression didn't seem to change, and there was not even a blush on his face.

"You, are you from Ursus?" Frost Star couldn't help but ask. He drank a glass of vodka without blushing. Frost Star had only seen some team members who were born in Ursus.

"No." Chen Qi said lightly, then looked at the patriot with a half-smile and said:

"This wine is good."

"...young man, good drinking capacity."

Patriot was also a little surprised by Chen Qi's alcohol tolerance, but then he thought, even if he was young, he couldn't drink too much of such a strong alcohol. Patriot himself had a good alcohol tolerance and knew how much he could drink.

It's just a little troublesome.

"Let's continue."

"Okay." Chen Qi smiled slightly, indicating that he would accompany him to the end.

"Huh? Wait..." Frost Star on the side was a little surprised. How did it suddenly turn into drinking?

However, no matter what Shuangxing said, she couldn't stop it. She could only watch stupidly as her old stubborn man and Chen Qi started drinking and eating meat, not knowing what to do.

……

Under the cover of night, the Integration Movement responsible for night watch and night patrols were moving through the streets. Although the people of Chernobog were not massacred by the Integration Movement due to Tallulah's orders and the constraints of various cadres, few dared to come out in the face of the Integration Movement who were extremely hostile to non-infected people.

However, they could not hide for too long. When they were starving and cold, they had to come out of their huddled rooms to look for food and help.

And in the darkness, a figure shuttled through the streets of Chernobyl like a ghost, sometimes turning into a black shadow and bouncing past, sometimes crawling on the wall, and sometimes jumping in the air, all of which flashed by.

Finally, the black shadow landed on the roof of a floor, and the red clothes were contrasted under the bright moonlight.

"Red, sneak in."
