We are from the future ark
Page 238
Kazdel... is a big country, this is a true "national war"! And the opponent is the "Avalon" which has just started not long ago, so Chen Qi's pressure can be imagined.
But we absolutely cannot wait any longer.
Everything is ripe. Victoria has escaped from Theresis' control and has just begun to recover. Colombia has been hit hard and is unable to provide any help. Ursus has just begun to resolve its internal and external troubles and has no time to pay attention to the war here.
No matter how "Avalon" develops, its recovery ability is simply not as good as those of the big countries. Once these big countries come to their senses, they will be the only ones who will be put in a passive position.
Even though we know we cannot win, now is the time to attack.
All Chen Qi can do is to try his best and consider all the changes in the war. In this way, they will have a real chance of winning against Tracys.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
Chapter 230: Frost Star: Is my chance here?
One day later, in the wilderness at the border with Kazdel, at this moment, there were several figures moving forward towards the interior of Kazdel...
It was obvious that the few of them were a team, and the division of labor was very clear. Some of them were responsible for pushing the luggage, while others were responsible for giving directions and identifying directions. Their progress was not fast, but very constant, so after a day's journey, they had covered a much faster distance relatively speaking.
"…So, why don't we choose to come here by land ship?"
Frost Star, who was walking in front, looked at the endless wilderness where one couldn't even tell the direction, and couldn't help but turn his head to Chen Qi behind him and asked:
"Although Longmen is not far from Kazdel, it is much easier to take a land ship. Why should we enter on foot?"
"...Land ships make too much noise."
Behind Frost Star, Chen Qi and Xia Guang were dragging their luggage, which contained their weapons and necessary supplies in the boxes.
On the other side, Chen was holding Chi Xiao of herself and Chen Qi. Holding two swords, she was responsible for being alert to the surrounding environment and changes.
"The land ship needs to replenish the necessary resources, and it is better not to dock in the mobile city in our current state. After all, Kazdel is still worried about Aunt Tallulah's "Rebellion Army"."
"We have already traveled to a very remote distance by land boat. In order not to attract other people's attention and unnecessary trouble, we have to choose to walk the rest of the way."
"...I understand." Shuang Xing nodded after hearing that. Then, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Chen He Xia Guang beside Chen Qi, but she revealed a somewhat unhappy expression.
"I'm just saying... why are there two more people following us..."
This time, only Xia Guang, Chen Qi, Chen and Shuangxing went to Kazdel to find Tallulah. This was actually the best result after their discussion.
First of all, Tallulah, the Doctor, Kal'tsit and Amiya cannot leave Avalon. Once Chen Qi leaves, they will be the supreme commanders controlling the actions of the entire Avalon. At this critical moment, they must be in Avalon and be responsible for handling all matters, big and small.
Needless to say, Talullah is the true leader of the Reunion Movement. Although the Reunion Movement has now been merged into Rhodes Island and together they have established "Avalon", Talullah, the original leader, still has irreplaceable command capabilities for the warriors of the Reunion Movement.
The Patriot couldn't follow either, as his target was too...big. Too conspicuous, and now Chen Qi and his men hadn't officially started their march to Kazdel, so they still needed the Patriot and his defense forces to defend Avalon's defenses.
For this operation, Chen Qi and his team had to keep their numbers as small as possible. Therefore, Chen Qi chose Frost Star, which played a very important role in the integration movement, to follow him.
When Shuangxing heard that she was the only one coming, she seemed quite happy. However, when she saw Chen He Xia Guang beside Chen Qi, her happy face suddenly fell again.
What happened to the two of us? Shuang Xing questioned Chen Qi with her eyes, and Chen Qi was quite at a loss.
In fact, Xia Guang and Chen had no other choice. On the one hand, they needed a guide who was very familiar with the border and interior of Kazdel when they went to Kazdel. Then, Xia Guang, who had so much experience as a "hunting knight" in Kazdel, was undoubtedly the first choice.
As for Chen, there was no need to say more. She had already said that she would follow Chen Qi in all his actions and protect his safety. Although Chen Qi might be stronger than her now and did not need her protection, she still chose to persevere.
This is her duty, her responsibility and her commitment.
Moreover, having Chen by his side also had a certain degree of containment effect on Chen Qi. With Chen by his side, Chen Qi often did not dare to be too decisive and always had to seek Chen's opinion.
Just like that, the original two-person group suddenly expanded to four people, which made Shuangxing quite unhappy and helpless.
I finally got a chance to be alone, but I didn't expect... I would be disturbed again.
However, Shuangxing was not discouraged. She had missed many opportunities, so this one wouldn't make a difference.
Moreover, Chen poses no threat to Shuangxing. The only thing he needs to be wary of is Chen's impatient personality and his relationship with Chen Qi, which may destroy their friendly conversation.
The only one who needs to be wary... is the female knight named Xia Guang. Shuangxing is 70% sure that this seemingly dignified and steady female knight actually has some ulterior motives in her heart.
After seeing the brutal Ifrit, the icy seabed, and the mysterious Jessica fall one after another in battle, Frost Star has completely awakened. These women - each of them is extremely good at disguising themselves!
Nothing is satisfactory, nothing matters, nothing likes to be close to others - bah!
None of these excuses from women can be believed, especially at this time. Shuangxing feels that Xiaguang and her ideas are quite consistent, and she also intends to take advantage of this opportunity to find a good time to take action!
Thinking of this, Frost Star couldn't help but become a little more hostile. Her cold eyes looked at Xia Guang who was looking at the map behind her, as if they could poke a hole in her.
“… Ugh.”
However, Xia Guang on the other side seemed to feel something. After a shiver was given to his body, he couldn't help but shrink his body and look at the surrounding environment.
Why did it suddenly get colder? Isn't the temperature difference too big?
This shouldn't be the case. She is a knight. Although she didn't wear armor this time because of the weight and to avoid attracting attention, she shouldn't feel so cold all of a sudden, right?
Although Xia Guang had a lot on her mind, her heart was still very pure and she did not feel the cold hostility from Frost Star at all.
In fact, Xia Guang still doesn't understand why a person like herself who doesn't like to fight with others would sometimes suffer hostility from others for no reason, even though she clearly did nothing wrong.
Sometimes, some things in this world are really hard to understand.
After a small sigh in his mind, Xia Guang didn't care too much about it. He continued to look at the map in front of him, and then said to Chen Qi:
"Chen Qi, we are about to reach the border of Kazdel. Most of the mobile cities around here are mainly agricultural. These cities are now under the rule of Tallulah's "Rebels."
"It's very fast..." Chen Qi sighed when he heard this. The advantage of having a small number of people was reflected at this time. Even if they maintained the lowest marching speed, their physical fitness was good enough that even with luggage, they could march faster than an ordinary small team.
"...But it's getting late. We may not be able to reach Kazdel's mobile city today."
"Then let's set up camp here." Chen Qi looked at the surrounding environment. There was endless wilderness all around. There was no water source or even trees. There was only dry grass and wasteland everywhere, and the occasional source stone that looked like weeds.
"We'll rest here for one night. Let's look around to see if there's anything that can burn for a long time. We have food and water in our supplies, but if possible, it would be better to roast these things."
"The temperature in the wilderness drops a lot at night. Everyone, please take precautions."
"Yeah." Chen and Xia Guang nodded when they heard this. At this moment, choosing to camp on the spot was a good choice.
On the other side, when Frost Star heard this, her pair of white rabbit ears suddenly twitched, as if she had heard some news that made her move unusually.
The wilderness... set up camp... the wilderness has no boundaries as far as the eye can see...
...Maybe, there will be a chance?
Frost Star looked at the surrounding environment and Chen Qi, who was assigning work with Chen and Xia Guang at the moment, and finally showed a hint of reaction.
Chapter 231: What bad intentions could Sister Xia Guang have?
In the wilderness, night has fallen at this moment, and darkness has enveloped everything around. However, in this wilderness, it cannot invade the only remaining campsite with a lit bonfire.
Two small tents have been erected next to the campfire, and a campfire is burning in the center of the two tents, dispelling the surrounding darkness and coldness with the light of the flames.
At this moment, there were only Chen Qi and Shuang Xing sitting around the campfire. Looking at Chen Qi by the campfire, Shuang Xing's cheeks were slightly reddened by the flames, and she was glancing sideways.
"...It's so cold." Frost Star couldn't help but speak.
The nights in the wilderness were indeed as Chen Qi had said. The temperature difference between day and night was so great that it was somewhat unbearable. Even in broad daylight, people couldn't help but want to take off their clothes, but at night, it was so cold that people didn't even have a chance to keep warm.
However, just as Shuang Xing said this, she saw Chen Qi pouring a cup of freshly heated water from the side and handing it to Shuang Xing.
"...Thank you." Frost Star took the cup of water with both hands, took a sip gently, and then he felt the coldness in his body dissipate a little.
"I always feel that there is something inexplicable about this sentence coming out of Frost Star's mouth."
However, Chen Qi, who was in charge of boiling water, couldn't help but speak at this moment. Facing Shuang Xing's confused look beside the campfire, Chen Qi smiled faintly and said:
"Miss Froststar, who has the ability to control temperatures as cold as ice, can actually feel the cold. Does this mean that our Originium Disease Potion is working quite well?"
"I, of course I didn't feel cold before, but now that I've recovered, of course I feel cold!"
After hearing this, Shuang Xing was slightly stunned, and her pretty face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. However, Shuang Xing, who was naturally very shy about this, did not have much energy to refute.
Indeed, Froststar's Originium disease has been improving under the effect of the potion. When he was in Victoria, Froststar had recovered to the level where he could taste and feel warmth and cold.
After this period of time, Frost Star did not experience too many battles. Because her Originium infection level was quite high, and she was also a member of Noah's team, Chen Qi, who was very concerned about her Originium disease, would naturally give Frost Star better treatment.
So far, Frost Star's Originium disease infection has been reduced to a relatively safe level. She has now recovered her five senses and can sense cold and heat - although not as sensitive as ordinary people, but she can definitely feel it.
However, don't forget that Frost Star's Originium skills are powerful enough to control icy temperatures and turn a large area into an ice-covered area in an instant.
——Originium artists who have the ability to control low temperatures will feel cold. This has to be said to be a great "miracle" of Terra's Originium art research.
That's why Chen Qi teased her like that, and that's why Shuang Xing was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak after her little thoughts were exposed.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the campfire became a little subtle. Frost Star's red face hidden by the firelight did not dare to look at Chen Qi, and Chen Qi did not speak, but just quietly felt this atmosphere.
"...Chen, Chen Qi, where are Miss Chen and Xia Guang?" Finally, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Shuang Xing decided to say something to ease the mood.
"...Chen, go check the safety of the surrounding environment, Xia Guang, go find some food to supplement our meal." Upon hearing this, Chen Qi looked at the campfire in front of him and the big pot of food stewing on the campfire, and said with a smile:
"After all, the taste of this can is... a little disappointing."
These canned foods were not produced in Rhodes Island, but from Ursus. The characteristic of Ursus canned foods was that they were durable and easy to store, so they were extremely oily and salty.
Although having a bite to eat in the wilderness is considered a great treat, even the locals of Ursus dare not eat too much of this canned food.
Most people do what Chen Qi and his friends do. They open a can and put it in water to boil. No need to add salt, and a big pot of broth is ready to drink.
Of course, they also had compressed biscuits and soft drinks to fill their stomachs. These were essential foods for long-distance hikes in the wild, so Chen Qi and the others would naturally bring them with them.
"Really..." Shuang Xing's heart was slightly moved when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but say:
"So... there are only two of us left..."
"..."
As Frost Star said this, Chen Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart. The two of them met each other's eyes almost in an instant, and then immediately separated.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little ambiguous, but Frost Star chose to press on with his victory at this moment.
"Chen Qi... It seems like we haven't been alone like this for a long time since Chernobyl."
"Uh..." Chen Qi paused slightly when he heard this. He read a hint of resentment and a touch of melancholy from Shuang Xing's words just now. For a moment, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Indeed, ever since he pretended to be captured and entered Chernobyl, it seemed that he had very few opportunities to be alone with Frost Star.
Their identities changed from enemies to friends, and from friends to comrades-in-arms. Their relationship has even been tested by patriots and has lasted all the way to the present.
Admittedly, Chen Qi is not a wooden man, he certainly knows Frost Star's feelings for him, but... he just feels a little unfair for Frost Star.
Ifrit, Skadi, and Jessica are by Chen Qi's side, and sooner or later they will follow Chen Qi back, so Chen Qi has no psychological burden.
But Frost Star...Although Chen Qi could take her away with him, leaving behind the people and everything she was familiar with was too cruel for Frost Star.
Chen Qi can't be so selfish, he must think these things through, at least... give Frost Star an acceptable answer.
"Froststar, I..."
"—Call me Yelena."
However, before Chen Qi could open his mouth, Shuang Xing's sudden words made Chen Qi pause.
Looking directly into the girl's eyes as she looked towards him in the light of the fire, Chen Qi could see twinkling stars in her eyes, and he couldn't help but be lost in thought.
Chen Qi has seen many shy girls, but Shuang Xing is the one who truly embodies what it means to be "a bud waiting to bloom."
This is not just referring to age. After all, Frost Star is probably about the same age as Huang, but Frost Star's face is indeed closer to that of a girl, and in this regard her soft personality and easily shy appearance - it really can make Chen Qi feel the true taste of youth.
“Few people call me that.”
Shuang Xing lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Qi's expression. She buried her face between her knees and thighs, and said with a trembling voice:
"So... you should understand without me having to tell you."
This was her limit... Shuang Xing had really reached her limit. She couldn't let go of her pride, and it was already her best effort not to run away.
Fortunately, Frost Star's hint was not difficult to guess. Chen Qi couldn't help swallowing. He just felt that Frost Star in front of him was like a docile little white rabbit. As long as he made a slight move, everything about her would be under his control.
This is truly an irresistible temptation, one that I bother to accept and reject... and now we are in the wilderness, with no one to disturb us.
I have to say, this is indeed an excellent opportunity.
Chen Qi couldn't help but wonder if he had become self-indulgent after his taboo was broken. He never had such thoughts in his mind before, so why now...
Chen Qi forced himself to divert his attention, but found that his eyes were now fixed on Frost Star's body. If he were to look from a third-person perspective, he would find that the look in his eyes at this moment was exactly the kind that he hated the most... an extremely aggressive look.
"I..." Chen Qi couldn't help but open his mouth, as if he had made up his mind.
"--Snapped!"
"Ah, I'm so tired! It's really not easy to find good things in this wilderness!"
Suddenly, several white things were thrown from somewhere and landed on the ground. Along with a clear and pleasant female voice, Xia Guang, who had taken off his armor, appeared from nowhere and sat down between Chen Qi and Shuang Xing very naturally.
