We are from the future ark

His desire to survive told him that it was not a good choice to anger Aunt Tallulah at this time.

"I left without saying goodbye earlier. I'm sorry for making everyone worried." Tallulah naturally learned a lot from Angelina. Thinking about it now, she felt uneasy about the fact that she left in a rage for revenge.

"However, we have already established a strong enough resistance army on the border of Kazdel. We have fought against Kazdel's army more than once. Now I can be sure that the resistance army is strong enough to deal with one of Kazdel's legions."

"Because of Tresis's tyranny, many cities in the border area responded to our call." Alina on the side slowly added:

"The mobile city we control currently, plus the one here, has two others, and there are enough defense forces gathered there."

"Because we have occupied agricultural cities, we have cut off nearly 40% of Kazdel's food supply. During this period, the offensive of Kazdel's army has become more and more fierce."

"But fortunately, no city has been lost."

"And we have obtained a lot of equipment from Kazdel's army." Tallulah pointed to the rebels who were doing their job and added:

"Alina's strategy of fighting to support the enemy is very effective. We have repelled the attacks of the Kazdel army time and time again, and gained a large amount of supplies and equipment at a very small cost. Currently, nearly 40% of the resistance army can be equipped with complete weapons of the Kazdel army."

“…It’s a miracle.”

Chen Qi and his group were all stunned by the explanations given by Tallulah and Alina. Even Chen Qi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He had a new and deeper understanding of the rebels.

The strength of the rebels... completely exceeded Chen Qi's imagination. Their current strength was not much inferior to that of the Integration Movement, let alone the regular configuration of the Lungmen Guards.

More importantly, they were numerous and had an almost endless supply of soldiers. Even though they had lost a lot of young and middle-aged men due to Tracy's previous conscription, they still had considerable strength.

This is a force that truly poses a threat to Kazdel. No wonder Tracys has repeatedly tried to pull out the rebels, but has always been unable to do so.

Tracy was well aware that they were about to embark on a huge battle, and he probably didn't want to expend too much energy to wipe out the rebels. After all, if he used most of his forces to attack the rebels, the defensive forces in other places might not be enough.

At that time, if someone took advantage of the situation, it would be a complete loss.

"The enemy in front of us is Kazdel's Fourth Army. We have been resisting them for a long time."

Tallulah said to Chen Qi with a serious expression, "After several battles, our two sides have reached a stalemate. We need an opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the army."

"——That's enough." Chen Qi nodded and said with a confident smile:

"Kazdel is not Ursus, who has the strength of so many armies. He only has five army groups in total. Now he can entangle one army group here, which is enough."

"The rest - leave it to us."

Chapter 238: Alina wants to know

That night, Chen Qi and his group had been walking for half a day and finally arrived at the city controlled by Tallulah. After briefly learning about the structure and route of the city, Tallulah arranged a welcoming banquet for them.

"It's a marginal city, so there aren't many fine meals, but they're enough to fill you up."

Tallulah sat at the head of the table, and Alina sat closest to her. They sat around a small square table. Tallulah smiled and said to the tired group:

"Everyone, you are tired from the journey, let's eat quickly."

"thanks for treatment."

Chen Qi and his companions walked for a day and a half. Apart from the barbecued pork rabbit as a snack in the evening, the only food they had was the greasy canned food from Ursus, as well as the compressed biscuits and soft drinks that made them want to vomit. Although for people wandering in the wilderness, these things were almost abundant, they still didn't like the feeling.

The meal that Tallulah prepared was very simple, with slightly charred golden bread, fried bread on one side that looked very good, a big pot of very easy-to-eat beef stew, a large pot of vegetable soup, a pile of butter and a pile of pine nut sauce, and the rest were bottles of local ale.

These things are not luxurious foods, but they are large in quantity and filling. For the hungry Chen Qi and his group, these freshly prepared foods are simply the best enjoyment.

"Aunt Tallulah, you are really good at cooking."

Chen Qi took a bite of the buttered bread and was surprised by the strong wheat aroma and the perfect crispy texture of this ordinary-looking bread. He couldn't help but look at Tallulah.

Others may not know, but Chen Qi knows very well that even in his time and space, Aunt Tallulah took care of him for so many years, but he still did not develop any good feminine skills, such as washing clothes, mending clothes, cooking and washing dishes. Tallulah was really a rotten wood that could not be carved. Chen Qi once doubted how Tallulah spent her life before he came here.

Fortunately, although Chen Qi left Longmen at that time, Chen was not so lenient in his education before that. Instead, he was quite strict. Therefore, Chen Qi had mastered all the life skills since he was a child. Except for some troubles with the stove due to his age, he had filled in the gaps of Tallulah in other aspects.

And now, with such food placed in front of Chen Qi by Tallulah herself, he really couldn't help but start to wonder, has Aunt Tallulah really learned it?

For a moment, Chen Qi's curious eyes and the eyes from his childhood sweetheart Chen all looked at Tallulah. After Tallulah's face froze slightly, she didn't know what to say.

How could she have made any of these... She can't even fold her own quilt, how can she cook?

These farm dishes were all cooked by Alina. When they lived together in the snowfield, and later when Alina followed her to form a team in the snowfield, Alina was responsible for her diet.

Although Tallulah can't cook, she has a picky taste. She only likes delicious food and the food made by Alina.

Although Alina was born into a peasant family, she had many things that Tallulah did not have. Among them, the two that made Tallulah most ashamed were her ability to learn military tactics and her feminine strength as a woman.

Alina on the side was also slightly stunned, and immediately realized that Chen Qi had misunderstood, and said with a smile:

"This is--"

“Uh, cough, cough, cough—No, that’s right! I studied it very seriously for a while!”

However, before Alina could speak, Tallulah at the side covered up Alina's words with a louder voice. The shameless Tallulah seemed to try to use the indifference when she was the leader as confidence, and said to the group:

"I am a person who can learn, and as Xiaoqi's aunt, I will of course try to do things that I would not normally do."

"Woo..."

However, Tallulah's slightly strange expression did not attract the attention of others, but her words made the women around Chen Qi pause, and then after looking at each other, they all lowered their heads in shame.

Frost Star looked at her hands that were not touched by women and felt a little ashamed. She was one of the first people to follow Tallulah, so she naturally knew Alina. However, Tallulah didn't have much feminine power like her at that time, and Frost Star was not very old at that time, so she didn't have the thoughts she has now.

But now it seems... even the old stubborn guy, whose fingers are almost as long as other people's arms, can make Ursus dumplings by himself, and his pancake making skills are amazing. Frost Star now looks at herself and feels that she is no match for him at all.

Xia Guang was even more speechless. Cooking? She did work in a coffee shop owned by her aunt a long time ago when her aunt was still alive, but that was to supplement the funds for her favorite machinery and assembly.

Cooking? You might as well let Xia Guang be a fitter. She felt that she was good at using a file or a sword, but she couldn't use a spatula.

This is what is called different division of labor. The bravest warrior, who can lift a sword weighing dozens of kilograms, cannot wield a hoe to till the ground for a long time. After all, they are not designed to do this and need to learn slowly.

The most ashamed person in the group was not the two girls, but Miss Chen Huijie, Tallulah's childhood sweetheart who grew up with her.

Admittedly, Chen Huijie has lived alone in Longmen for so many years and still has some basic life skills, but cooking and the like... you're really making it difficult for her.

Chen doesn't even know how to clean her own room. All the details in her room are designed to match Xingxiong's. It can be said that her house is as messy as Xingxiong's.

However, in fact, what Chen didn't know was that Xingxiong was actually quite clean. Although he looked generous and casual on the surface, Xingxiong, who was born in the East, knew how to tidy up his house and take care of his own food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was a child.

It's just that Old Chen has no life skills, so every time before Old Chen comes to Xingxiong's house, Xingxiong will deliberately make his house a little messy, so that he can comfort Chen more.

What's more, what Chen didn't know was that Xingxiong was actually very good at cooking. This might be inconsistent with her usual behavior, but it was indeed the fact.

It’s just that I see that Lao Chen is always alone with no one to accompany him, so I ask Lao Chen to drink with me every now and then, and that way I can get by with it in no time.

It's funny to say that Xingxiong and Chen are extremely good partners and best friends to each other. However, there are things between these friends that they don't know anything about each other.

And now... Xiaota, who grew up with Chen, can cook and has started to show feminine strength. This makes Chen, who was previously worried about whether he could get married, even less confident.

Especially what Tallulah said just now, "For Xiaoqi", which made Chen, the former adoptive mother, feel ashamed.

“…When I return from this trip, I will ask Jiaofeng and Gumi to teach me how to cook.”

Chen thought of the two famous chefs in Rhode Island, and he made up his mind at that moment to improve himself after returning.

Whatever Xiaota can do, she can definitely do too!

"..." On the other side, Tallulah, who had no idea how many brain storms her words had caused in the people below, pointed a finger at Alina's puzzled look.

After a moment of hesitation, Alina smiled helplessly, and found Tallulah's behavior quite funny.

But after chuckling, Alina couldn't help but feel a little magical.

Although I have heard from Tallulah that she was from the "future", I have also heard Tallulah talk about some things about Chen Qi, and I have heard Tallulah praise him more than once.

But... Alina still doesn't understand many things, especially about the relationship between Tallulah and Chen Qi.

However, after hearing that Chen Qi called Tallulah's "aunt" and seeing Tallulah's pretentious behavior, Alina began to feel curious for the first time in a long time.

These two people...seem a little interesting now?

Chapter 239: Alina is a good cat stroking

After a sumptuous dinner, Chen Qi and his group ate and drank their fill. After taking a hot shower and changing into clean clothes, they finally felt comfortable.

However, after being satisfied, I felt very weak all over, and just wanted to find a place to have a good sleep. Fortunately, Tallulah had already prepared a room for the group.

"This is it."

Alina took everyone to their rooms, and finally took Chen Qi to a wooden house that was a little distance away from the others and obviously different.

The space in the wooden house was not big, about the same size as Chen Qi's room in Rhode Island, but it had everything he needed. Chen Qi took a quick look and found that everything he needed was there. The wooden bed was padded with thick straw and a mattress, which allowed him to sleep warmly and softly.

Chen Qi had never seen this kind of treatment in other people's rooms before.

"This is the room that Tallulah prepared specifically for you. The room was just built not long ago." Alina said to Chen Qi with a smile:

"Tallulah was worried that the border area of ​​Kazdel would be too cold and you would freeze, so she put a lot of straw under your bed."

"The straw is freshly dried, very warm, and smells good. People like us who were born in farming families like the feeling of being on a straw pile."

"It sounds like a real pleasure." Chen Qi couldn't help but start to imagine it when he heard it. Although the northern region was covered with snow for most of the time during Tallulah's time, even the harshest places should have warm sunshine sooner or later.

Under the golden straw pile that has just been dried in the sun, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun and having a good sleep... Perhaps, for the Terra continent, this should be the most comfortable moment for a person.

"Your room is right here. If you need anything, the patrol will pass by here every fifteen minutes. Tallulah has given orders to entertain you. You are our guests with the highest courtesy. They will help you."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Qi thanked him politely. The arrangement here made him feel very comfortable. There were not so many nagging things, everything was very simple, but it also made people feel at ease.

Although he had only been here for a short time, he already felt a warm feeling like home. Chen Qi knew that this feeling was not something that could be felt by reasonable hospitality, but because there were people he was familiar with here.

As long as there are people around, anywhere is home. Chen Qi has been wandering for so long that he believes this feeling very much.

Chen Qi slowly sat down on the soft mattress. As the wooden door closed, Chen Qi's expression was slightly stunned.

Alina did not leave his room, but stayed there with a gentle smile on her face and closed the door gently.

"...Is there anything else?" Chen Qi vaguely felt that something was wrong. Even though Alina didn't seem to have any hostility, Chen Qi, who had been wandering outside for a long time, felt something was wrong with Alina's sudden action.

It's not like this hasn't happened before, where someone very close to him wanted to kill a spy who had been lurking for a long time - although this was a bit rude to Alina, after all, when Alina and Tallulah met, Chen Qi didn't even know where he was.

However, it is inevitable to take it seriously. After all, when it comes to assassinations, Chen Qi has seen all kinds of strange ways.

"…Don't be so nervous. I'm no threat to you."

Alina obviously noticed the change in Chen Qi's mood, and smiled to dispel Chen Qi's hostility and said:

"I'm just a weak woman who has a hard time even catching a chicken. I'm not a threat to you at all, am I?"

"……Feel sorry."

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Qi relaxed his frown a little and was not so nervous anymore.

However, the hand hidden behind his back was still ready to summon Chi Xiao at any time. Once there was something wrong with Alina, Chen Qi would have the opportunity to defend himself.

"...He was a very cautious child. I don't know how much he suffered."

However, unexpectedly, Chen Qi's little move did not escape Alina's eyes. Seeing this, Alina shook her head helplessly, facing Chen Qi's slightly surprised eyes, and smiled:

"Don't look at me like that. I don't have any Originium skills to sense murderous intent. I'm just a little more careful than you."

"Tallulah is always suspicious like this. She always says that I am her best partner and that I am a genius in learning tactics... But I am really just an ordinary farm girl."

"I can't hold a long sword to kill the enemy like you do, nor can I use Originium skills to inflict damage to the enemy. I also don't understand any tactics or military strategies at all."

"I'm just a little more careful than you, and my intuition is a little more sensitive... Is that it?"

"..."

Listening to Alina's words, Chen Qi gradually began to let down his guard. The hand that was placed behind him to summon Chi Xiao was slowly moved in front of him, and the last trace of vigilance on his face finally eased.

"...I'm so sorry, I'm too sensitive." Chen Qi said to Alina in front of him with an apologetic look.

"No, I understand you very well, Chen Qi."

Alina sat down next to Chen Qi with a smile on her face. Chen Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. How could Alina suddenly get so close to him without any preparation?

I was so scared afterwards that I broke out in a cold sweat. If Alina was really an assassin, at such a close distance, if she was a little faster, the probability of Alina assassinating Chen Qi would be almost 70%.

Of course, this is the old Chen Qi. The current Chen Qi's body has been reforged by Nian, and is invulnerable to swords, water and fire. Assassination is basically a small trick for the current Chen Qi.

Even when Markov's potion corroded Chen Qi's eyes, Chen Qi could ignore it with a little eye drops. Chen Qi probably has immunity to all poisons now.

"When Tallulah was first brought to us, she was actually the same as you." Alina looked at Chen Qi's face in front of her. Although he didn't look like Tallulah, she still felt quite kind to him.

Maybe it was because of the relationship between Chen Qi and Tallulah, which made Alina, who was like a sister to Tallulah, feel a little fond of this child.

"Tallulah at the time... was also wary at first. Although she was about the same age as me at the time, she was much more mature and withdrawn than me."

"Later, we spent a lot of effort to make her trust us. Fortunately, it was proved that even the hardest ice can be slowly warmed up by temperature."
