"Xiaota... why do you have to do this?"

"...In the end, even you are going to stand against me?"

However, after seeing Chen clearly in front of her, Tallulah showed a sad smile. She never expected that she had just prepared to fight to the death with Chen Qi and the others, but this person who suddenly appeared gave her the heaviest psychological blow.

In the end, the people closest to her did not stand on her side.

Could it be... am I really wrong?

Why... fighting for the last chance of life for the infected in this world, why is there not a trace of a miracle in the end?

Was she wrong, or was this path wrong?

Do not……

"I... am not wrong."

Tallulah closed her eyes slightly, feeling the coldness of the snowflakes that began to slowly fall under the gloomy sky, and murmured to herself:

"Even if the whole world goes against me...I will..."

"..." Chen looked at Tallulah speechlessly, but Tallulah's self-narration forced her to hold Chi Xiao tightly in her hand.

She knew this childhood sweetheart too well. She was stubborn and would never give up hope until the last moment.

"So many brothers and sisters, my integration movement, are fighting with me."

"I...will not give up."

“… Tallulah, there is no hope for you.”

However, after hearing this, Chen Qi seemed to have calmed down. He looked at Tallulah, who was already at the end of her rope, and there was no fighting spirit in his eyes. He said calmly:

"Do you know why so many of our Rhodes Island operators did not participate in this battle? Didn't you notice that so many of our elite operators were not on the front battlefield?"

"From the very beginning, when the Integration Movement came out in full force, the moment you stepped out of the city wall, you had already lost."

"Turn around and look, Tallulah. The Reunion has already lost."

Chen Qi's voice echoed faintly, breaking Tallulah's last bit of stubbornness. Tallulah's eyes trembled slightly as she turned her head to look behind her, at the wall of Chernobyl.

However, the moment she saw it all, even though she was mentally prepared, her eyes still trembled.

On the city wall, the Reunion Regicide and other members who were supposed to be in charge of the defense had already disappeared. Instead, there were people in neat Rhodes Island uniforms standing high above the city wall.

Right above the city gate, where Tallulah originally stood, Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island, was standing at this moment. Beside her, Kal'tsit and Tallulah from the future were also looking down at everyone.

The city walls had been captured, and it was clear who was in control of Chernobyl at the moment.

"——Everyone in the Reunion Movement, stop it." Amiya, standing on top, looked at the people still fighting below, picked up the megaphone in her hand, and said lightly:

"Chernobog has been captured by our Rhodes Island."

"The Yeti Squad you left behind in Chernobog, and Mr. Patriot's defense force, have all been defeated by us."

"Stop it. We are all infected. There is no point in killing each other."

"Please rest assured, as long as you stop, we guarantee the personal safety of each and every one of you."

Gradually, as Amiya's voice fell, the sounds of fighting and collision on the battlefield gradually died down. Finally, no one knew how much time had passed, but the battlefield finally fell into silence.

The Patriot hesitated to swing his halberd. It seemed that he could defeat Saria in the next second, but he stopped at this moment.

Frost Star originally had the advantage under the siege of Xingxiong and Huang, but became extremely embarrassed because of Ifrit's fire. However, at this time, although the four were confronting each other, no one took the initiative to attack.

Faust and Graythroat had already locked onto each other, with their bows and crossbows aimed at each other's heads, but neither of them moved.

The time of the world seemed to be frozen at this second. The Patriot, Frost Star, Regicide, Mephisto, Faust... many eyes were looking towards Tallulah in the center of the battlefield.

Everyone is fighting, everyone is dragging their exhausted bodies to fight, for a glimmer of hope, for the future of the so-called infected people.

At this moment, having lost Chernobyl, they were doomed to defeat, but whether to make a last-ditch struggle or lay down their arms was not something they could decide.

They were waiting and looking forward to the decision of their only leader at this moment.

Chapter 138: The failure of the integration movement, the broken warmth

On the continent of Terra, it is already winter here, and on this battlefield rife with war, flurries of snow have begun to fall.

Snowflakes fell on many people's bodies, bringing waves of coldness, but at this time, the war had just taken a breather, and the residual warmth on everyone's body was not enough for the snowflakes to dispel the heat of the war.

There was no fighting, no collision, only the sound of breathing and nervous heartbeats, constantly echoing.

In the center of the battlefield, Chen Qi and Chen were staring at Tallulah, and Tallulah, holding her sword in her hand, slowly closed her eyes after seeing that she was attacked from all sides.

Just as Amiya said, even if she didn't admit it, the ending was already determined.

The Integration Movement... has failed.

As a fighter, Tallulah did not lose, but as the leader of an organization with so many lives entrusted to her, Tallulah suffered a crushing defeat.

Her strength prevented her from losing in any duel, but as a leader, she lost in terms of strategies and planning when starting the war.

The Integration Movement once again became a wandering ghost. Those compatriots who were expecting her to change everything, those compatriots who had high expectations of her, she disappointed them.

Finally, in the snow, Tallulah closed her eyes and said with a bitter and difficult voice:

"...Everyone in the Reunion Movement, lay down your weapons."

"The Reunion...has already lost."

That's right, we've already lost.

In this battle, although the Integration Movement did not fight to the last man, the scale of the war was still that of a war that had just begun.

But Chernobyl behind them had already been lost, and there was no point in fighting any further.

Having lost its last shelter and being attacked from all sides, the integration movement has lost its final support for the battle.

Although the sacrifice was small, they had undoubtedly lost.

“…clang.”

No one knew who was the first to put down his weapon. Following a very obvious sound, waves of collision sounds of weapons being put down rang out one after another on this huge battlefield.

“…It’s all over.”

The Patriot slowly drew back his weapon and placed the heavy shield on the ground. He placed his halberd on the ground, sat back, and said slowly in a sad but somewhat fortunate tone:

"It's all over."

"Violence can't solve anything. Tallulah should have understood this a long time ago."

"...Everything will return to order." Saria also put away her shield, supported Ifrit with one hand, and said to the Patriot:

"There will naturally be a bright future for the infected, but it will never be achieved through tyrannical means."

"Trust us, Rhodes Island, we will give the infected a hopeful future."

"Hope..." Hearing this, the patriot couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky with snow falling, and muttered to himself:

"I hope... there will be such a day."

……

"Little Tower." Chen's eyes became much softer. Tallulah made the best and wisest choice. This way, the two sides would not need to fight anymore.

"You win, Chen Qi, and Xiao Chen."

Tallulah opened her eyes again. There was no more rage and murderous intent in her pupils. Instead, they were filled with sadness and frustration. She looked at Chen Qi and Chen, gave a strained smile, and slowly said:

"The integration movement has failed. We finally can't do it."

"——But, as the leader of the Reunion Movement, I have not yet been defeated."

Suddenly, Tallulah changed the subject and raised her sword again, causing Chen and Chen Qi to subconsciously reach for their Chixiao.

However, the next moment, what was unexpected was that Tallulah's sword suddenly turned in a direction and was instantly against her neck!

"This world doesn't need two Tallulahs."

Tallulah murmured to herself, and under Chen's suddenly horrified gaze, a sad smile appeared on her slightly pale and beautiful face, and she said lightly:

"Goodbye, Xiao Chen."

"No!" Chen's eyes widened with anger, and she immediately ran towards Tallulah, wanting to stop all this from happening. However, she was too far away from Tallulah.

"boom."

"Crack!"

However, at this critical moment, there was a fleeting sound in the air, and immediately afterwards, the sword that Tallulah had at her neck shook violently and slipped out of her hand.

On the wall of Chernobyl, Jessica silently put away the sniper weapon in her hand without saying anything.

"...Well done, Jessica." Chen Qi noticed Jessica's actions and nodded slightly.

Because of this delay, Tallulah lost the chance to commit suicide, and was immediately hugged tightly by Chen who rushed over to her.

"No, Xiaota, don't do this."

Chen held Tallulah in his arms, feeling her delicate body trembling slightly. She sobbed softly, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"You still have a chance, and we all still have a chance."

"We can still be together in Longmen like before."

"We can also go to Xiaohuacheng together, and go to the Wharf Village Bridge together..."

“There are still many, many places we can go.”

“There are still many, many places…we haven’t walked through them together yet.”

"I still have... a chance..."

Tallulah, who was embraced by Chen, finally lost her last bit of stubbornness. She finally began to shed timid tears from the corners of her eyes. With a hint of tears in her voice, she asked tremblingly:

"Do I really...still have a chance?"

"Yes, of course." Chen also cried and hugged Tallulah tightly.

"...Can we still have morning tea together?" Talulah stretched out her hand, but was hesitant to touch Chen, and asked tremblingly.

"Yes, I will always wait for you."

"…Can we still ski together?"

“It snows in Longmen every year.”

"So...are we still sisters?"

"——Always, little tower."

Question after question, answer after answer, finally broke the last psychological defense of Tallulah, the woman pretending to be strong.

Her tear glands completely burst out, and she tightly grasped Chen's body in front of her, crying bitterly and venting all the anger she had accumulated over the years.

And Chen was crying with Tallulah. It was not just Tallulah who pretended to be a strong woman, Chen was also like that.

The leader of the Reunion Movement and the senior police officer of Longmen hugged each other and cried bitterly under the heavy snow.

"...Shi Huaiya, don't cry."

"Aren't you crying too?! Fried ghost!"

On the other side, Shi Huaiya, who was in tears after seeing this scene, wiped her tears with a handkerchief in embarrassment, but could not stop the tears from falling. However, she cursed:

"Really?! What kind of third-rate melodrama plot is this? And why would I cry over such a plot?"

"Maybe it's because you are in the play." Xingxiong on the side also put down the Prajna in his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his arm, and looked at the two people hugging each other with a gratified smile.

"All of us have waited too long for this day."

……

"Woo?"

The Patriot seemed to sense something and looked to the side, only to see Frost Star walking slowly towards him alone, then slowly sitting down beside him without saying anything.

"… old stubborn man."

"what happened?"

"…It's very strange. We obviously failed, but I don't feel angry or unwilling."
