Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

There is no contradiction or conflict of interest between them.

In the beginning, Li Lin prepared a lot of plans and rejected plans out of vigilance against the big boss, but to be honest, Li Lin was quite moved by the future described by Kosche.

It's just that in this beautiful dialogue, a discordant note suddenly appeared.

"If necessary, I can also set up a bridge between you and Regent Teresis."

Kosche, who was sitting on the chair, said with a smile, the smile was elegant and indifferent.

"He can provide a batch of Sarkaz wizards and mercenaries for you to dispatch, and there is also a batch of relics from Kazdel—"

"...wait a minute, who are you talking about?"

"Isn't Victoria's regent not Tracy? I thought he had finished his career."

"No, he is. But here I have a small problem. I want you to think about it for a while and then you will know my attitude."

"Please say?"

Seeing Li Lin whose face changed suddenly, Kosche felt something was wrong.

"Do you think that I, an outstanding graduate of the Royal Victorian Guards Academy, the honorary leader of the school's alumni association, the honorary leader of many warbands, and the honorary chief of the student union, why was I forced to work as a supervisor in Columbia, and then kicked out Casimir went to start a company, and in the end he could only find some infected people to work on Ursus?"

"..."

"My personal feelings will not affect our cooperation attitude, but I also need to consider the attitude of my other partners. You understand the technology driven by emotion. Their hatred of Tracys and Victoria's inherent forces is my The main reason why the Valley of Hinnom was able to be built. Without this initial anger and hatred, I would not have been able to cross the river and reach the origin. So if I want to accept Tracys, the first thing I have to face is riots river."

"I understand, I can understand..."

Cosche sighed visibly.

It was impossible for him to give up such a powerful ally as the Regent for an unknown technology.

For Li Lin, the source of technology in Xinnen Valley stems from the anger towards Tracy and Victoria, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.

However, it is not a big deal.It's nothing more than the inability to cooperate fully. The friend of the enemy is not necessarily the enemy of oneself. If there is no comprehensive cooperation, there are still some things to talk about.

"Then maybe we can suspend the overall cooperation. We can talk about some marginal cooperation projects, what do you think?"

"It's reasonable. Let's talk about the psychological price and attitude between each other. I'm not suitable for negotiating, and I don't want to be a riddle."

"Then, as the Duke of Ursus, my assistance in my personal capacity is as follows..."

This brief note did not interrupt the thoughts of the conversation, and the voice of the transaction sounded again in the dream.

Chapter 29 Finalize the direction

The communication with Kosche should be Li Lin's smoothest communication since he came to this world.

I regard this world as a cesspit, so I said some things very simply and neatly, and then I was surprised to find that the other party seemed to agree.

Of course, this does not rule out that the thousands of years old monsters have concealed and dressed up their own feelings, but this has to make Li Lin sigh that the elderly do have certain advantages in social interaction and experience.

In a very elegant and high-class environment, two guys who can be said to be not very good people exchanged their opinions, and shared their outdated or not outdated information and secrets. Of course, the core thing is that it is naturally impossible to take from.But the corners are enough for two people to be very satisfied.

Although there was no way to reach a comprehensive mutual assistance agreement, Kosiche, a patriot of Ursas, finally determined several requirements with the revival of Ursas as the main backbone.

These include but are not limited to the material transmission tower, the incapacity of the huge mouth of the ice sheet abyss, the delivery of a series of soul product production lines to the Ursus Empire within five years, and the requirement to establish an anti-meme force unique to the Ursus country, etc.

Subsidiary terms include, within the next 20 years, the logistics conveyor belt in the Ursus Empire will be completed, enough emergency food will be produced to deal with the Great Famine in Ursas, and priority purchase rights will be given, and soul weapons will be required to be inspected before they are installed. visit etc.

What Koscie here emphasizes is that Ursus must appear as a whole, but it can be a whole in any form, even if it is the second empire that appeared in the river of the empire, Koscie In essence, the existence of the Second Empire will also be recognized.

And in essence, Kosiche doesn't care much about other requirements. What he values ​​more is the logistics and production capabilities brought by soul technology.Only these two items are the ones that Kosche will never let go of. This is the bottom line for his cooperation.The main artery of Ursas must be throbbing again, otherwise any power would be a castle in the air, it might as well be destroyed and rebuilt directly.

As for the remuneration, Kosich also provided a lot.The various promises of the United Territory of the Nobles, with regard to Ursas special licensing company terms, can apply for laboratories anywhere in Ursas, and there is no restriction on the recruitment of infected persons. At the same time, infected persons from all over Ursas can be given priority Sent to Hinnom Valley Company for screening.And with the delivery of Hinnom Valley, the original mines and factories will gradually cancel the admission of patients with protolithiasis, and transfer them to Hinnom Valley Company for entrustment.

In a way, Kosche is selling his country like crazy.A series of state-owned properties and national arteries were sent to Li Lin.No matter how you look at it, it feels crazy.But Li Lin felt that Kosiche might have seen the essence of Xinnen Valley's technology in the future.

It's just that now, Li Lin and Xinnengu have not shown strength and ability beyond the times, so his investment is relatively cautious.There are quotas and restrictions on both sides, which is convenient for modification after the meeting.

Judging from various conditions and additional benefits, Kosiche's sincerity is very sufficient, and Li Lin even wonders if this kid is going to run away with his tail off.

But Li Lin is not afraid that he will renege on his debts.

Kosche is also very aware of this, so he didn't add any subsidiary clauses such as if something goes wrong.Because both of them knew very well that once something went wrong, it would be the end of Li Lin's shameless attacking everywhere.

All the scientific and technological information of Xinnen Valley is kept in my mind. If I want to build it, I can directly include the manual and props, open a gate in the northern border to release monsters, and then pile a brass fortress inside as a treasure storage room. Li Lin didn't care at all, his ability destined him to be powerful in committing crimes in the river and reality.

The manipulation of force ensures his instant killing power, and stepping into the river many times also ensures his cognition and defense methods for souls.So if the talk is really going to collapse, Xinnengu can't do it, then Li Lin can even be regarded as completely broken to a certain extent, and he is not a human being directly.If something goes wrong, kill each other. There is a kind of killing each other.Anyway, you can punch holes at any time, you are just an Ursus.It doesn't matter how many times I die, can you?

Kosche felt in his heart that he was not good enough.It’s okay for him to die, but Ursus must be resurrected, but according to Li Lin’s rectification method, if one single-mindedly builds a cesspit all over your country, once you open it, thousands of monsters will attack the city. I really can't guarantee what kind of consequences I will bring if I directly piss off Li Lin.It doesn't matter if you can fully grasp Li Lin, but if you fully grasp Li Lin, why bother to turn against him?

In such a situation where they knew each other well, the final verbal agreement was finalized in the dream.

"Then I hope you can use your special means to notify those nobles of the initial terms, otherwise our negotiations may be difficult to establish."

He raised his glass to Kosiche and touched it. Li Lin drank the taste of the wine in his memory and said calmly:

"Remove the infected inspection team from the surrounding area, and designate this area as a special test area. After the first advance base in Xinnen Valley is officially established, I will deliver a hope food production line and a shallow hole puncher as promised Here you go. In theory, it should be able to meet the life support needs of 40 people for a day. It just tastes a bit unpalatable. If you do not operate properly and a catastrophic phenomenon occurs, then all cooperation will be terminated."

"No problem. I'm happy to take the risk."

Kosche folded his hands and looked at Li Lin with a curious expression.

"But I'm curious, what does the smell look like? I just felt the disgust and evil thoughts coming from Tallulah, but I didn't realize what the smell was like."

"You really want to eat? Take it."

It's just that the taste is really not very good.

Casually throwing a product that looked like some lumps of meat and fat aggregates to Kosche, Li Lin looked at the elegant man curiously.

He thought that he could see an elegant uncle rolling on the ground and retching, but he was wrong.

Li Lin saw that Kosche gracefully opened the piece with his black-gloved hands, which can be said to be the product of the hunger desire of the dying person, stretched out his fingers to grab a slice, and slowly tore each part A piece of ointment was eaten in his mouth.

"Perfect beyond my expectations."

As if tasting some kind of supreme delicacy, Kosche chewed this disgusting vitamin slowly and delicately, as if chewing some supreme delicacy, and after a long while, finally Looking at Li Lin, he showed a smile of approval.

"It's really great, this work. It's unpalatable enough, but there is no waste. It can ensure that people will never waste any energy while living. This greatly improves the loading efficiency of materials. Very good . Ursus needs something just right. It's been a pleasure working with you."

"...I also feel very happy."

Seeing Kosiche who was approving after eating the horrible food, Li Lin paused, and extended his palm to give him a slight shake.

Chapter 30 Tomorrow

Nights are hard for the infected.

Especially at night on the ice field.

Although the shack built with thick flannelette and various sundries can shelter most of the cold wind, the area covered by the flames is narrow after all.Some rough stone craftsmen can use their rough stone skills to warm tents, but there are not many people who happen to have such rough stone skills among the infected.

Moreover, the more infected people use their rough stone skills, the closer they will be to death to some extent.Their spellcasting is through the conversion of the raw stone in their bodies, so that they can release the raw stone skills, instead of casting through the spell-casting unit or the wand in hand.This also makes it almost impossible for them to ask other protolith patients to do something.

So when the cold snowy nights start to fall, every minute is a test.Although the arrival of Hinnom Valley filled the entire camp with a happier atmosphere, in fact they had no way to face some difficulties.Many infected people do not have basic knowledge of architecture and mechanical force analysis, and the tents they built have more or less various problems.Some people may think that since living on the snow field must be better than the so-called experts, but that is a wrong impression.

They can live, but it's just not the time to die.Much of the time their arrangement and waste is astonishing.And they themselves do not have this degree of awareness.

Take building tents as an example. Most of the time they adopt the instinctively recognized square tents, and there is no area off the ground, but directly covered on the frozen soil for comprehensive coverage.In terms of medical care, life, and distribution, they are all carried out according to some relatively simple logic.

Therefore, in many cases, the environment that other people think may be able to survive is fatal to the infected.Because they are not educated at all, and they don't have this basic level of cognition, they can't even write their own names, and their experience can only summarize some sloppy and unsystematic things.These people are able to live until now, and most of the time they rely on the help of the ice field guerrillas.

These former Ursas officers and soldiers have relatively rich survival knowledge, and are also very familiar with the process of living in the wild.Those who know the military system very well have undergone a certain degree of field training.This alone is much better than many conventional infected people.But even they, in the face of the night of the blizzard, have no particularly good solution, they can only continue to maintain their own line of defense to maintain their dignity and beliefs.

In contrast, the Alpha Troop and Li Lin had a warm and comfortable sleep.

In the abnormal area built by the black obelisk, the alienation of temperature is a very common attribute.To a certain extent, by weakening the influence of reality, they can attenuate the existence of the attribute of temperature to a certain extent.

Another one, the all-round protection from the soul armament can also allow them to move freely at extremely low temperatures.And their built-in sanitation system can make them free from various basic biological needs for a long time... Don't ask what the technical principle is, Li Lin is not very clear.

So when Li Lin woke up from his sleep and pushed open the door contentedly, what he saw was not a thriving scene, but a huge snow layer that almost covered the entire camp.Although some infected people worked harder to remove the snowflakes and turned those huge objects that were nearly one meter thick out of the camp, but compared to the huge snowdrifts in the entire camp, their efforts were still insignificant.

They didn't dare to use rough stone techniques to deal with these things, because if all kinds of steam or burning smoke rose, it would be easy for others to see it in the snowy environment, and then directly eat an infected person to report it.

Any infected inspection team will come from all directions without hesitation to strangle and arrest these possible traitors.

He obviously has quite strong strength and ability, but he doesn't feel much alive.

They even tried to pull some dead people out of some collapsed tents.Those infected who froze to death in the low temperature still had some smiles from hypothermia on their faces, and they were dragged out of the broken tent.

Just a little twitching of the hands and feet will make a clicking sound like tearing some tree branches.Then you can see that the hands and feet of the infected person were pulled off so easily, and then a hole was dug in the frozen soil beside them, and they were buried on the spot.

There are no professional treatment facilities, and there is no environment that can be said to be free from pollution. Anyway, this ice sheet has always been in such a half-dead state.Seeing those people who seemed to be silently handling the corpse of the friend they had communicated with a few days ago, Li Lin and the members of the Alpha team calmly observed the scene in front of them.

"Already, it's snowing."

A huge pure-blood Wendigo appeared beside Li Lin, staring at the figure who was one meter shorter than him with scarlet eyes.

"If you have any ideas, let's take advantage of it now. We need to move it. This area is no longer suitable for us to live in. We need to find a better place."

"I thought you already had a solution to this natural environment problem, so you asked me for food..."

"Heavy snow, cruel. We, helpless."

"..."

There really seems to be no good way for the infected.

Looking at the infected people who seemed to have gotten used to it and began to come out of their simple tents to gradually clean up the camp, Li Lin nodded uncompromisingly.

With hidden enemies all around you, any action that might expose you is tantamount to asking for your own death.Obviously, although the infected people have no culture, they understand that their safety must at least be guaranteed.

Even if it is frozen to death on this kind of snowy night, it is better than directly using cooking smoke to lure those Ursus pursuers and selling them to the mines.

"If you have something to say, just say it. We won't stay for too long. In three days, we will leave."

"It doesn't matter, there will be results in three days."

Talking casually to the vigilant patriots around him, Li Lin looked at the scene of the camp, and at a glance saw a tent that seemed to be relatively warm with a circle of ice crystals melting and solidifying around it.It was Tallulah who seemed a little melancholy who came out of it.

Seeing Li Lin standing there with his arms folded, Tallulah looked at the infected people around, biting her lip and walking up.

Chapter 31 Reality

"I have something to say to you alone, can I?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Looking at the girl who was biting her lip and seemed to be a little awkward, Li Lin showed a somewhat surprised expression.
