"So nice to you?"
Shuangxing walked to the door, repeated Shuangye's words, opened the door panel, and said calmly: "Sister, you must have made a mistake. Your only value as a prisoner is to be used in exchange for prisoners."
Shuangye opened her mouth slightly, but said nothing. Shuangxing's meaning was very clear. The fundamental purpose of capturing her was to exchange for the Kingslayer.
"As for treating your injuries, I'm afraid you'll die before the leader can negotiate with Rhode Island."
Shuangxing was very rude, and every word hit Shuangye's heart like a bullet. She sat there dejectedly. It turned out that everything was just her overthinking.
She will definitely take back this humiliation with her own hands!
Shuangye gritted his teeth and remembered a story the doctor once told, about a wasted boy's counterattack.
"I will definitely defeat you, Snow Monster Princess!"
Shuangxing looked at her seriously: "Then wait until you have the strength. If you don't come out, you will miss tonight's release time."
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Shuangye stood up and moved his frozen body with difficulty. The power of the snow monster princess was too strong. Her Frost Origin Stone skills could not withstand it at all, and she was almost assimilated.
There was a campfire outside the house, and the burning wood gave off a warm glow. The fire was crackling constantly. Several members of the Integration Movement in white coats were leaning against each other and singing loudly.
Shuangye couldn't understand what they were singing, but she could tell that the tune was melodious and lively, and could easily affect the audience's emotions. Maybe it was some kind of folk song.
These integrated movements should be members of the Snow Monster Team. They are the troops directly under Frost Star. During the rescue battle in Chernobog, Frost Leaf had met once. It was during that battle that she had the first time with her. When Frost Star met, the other party was as aloof as he is now.
"You are a Colombian, so you probably don't understand the traditional Usazra songs."
Frost Star stretched out her hand towards the fire, and the swaying firelight shone on her face, reflecting her fair profile. She seemed to be thinking about something, fascinated.
"I have little interest in Ursusian traditions."
Shuangye turned her face. In fact, those songs were not unpleasant to her ears, but rather interesting.
Only then did she notice that there were some children running happily around the campfire with singing. They were carefree and did not have to worry about what would happen in the future.
Frost Leaf couldn't figure out where he was. When they arrived at Tenan State, an outlying city in the Rust Belt, even though the rust-filled city was very dilapidated, it could still maintain a regular energy supply and there was no shortage of simple lighting equipment. .
According to an in-depth investigation by officers from the Rhode Island Intelligence Department, several towns in Tenant State also maintained the simplest lighting supply, and some of the originally damaged lines were repaired at an accelerated pace after the incident.
However, the place where she was now was in darkness. She could not see any light except the campfire in front of her. In the darkness, the light of the campfire became people's only yearning.
"At least this place is no longer within the boundaries of Tenan State."
Shuangye secretly came to a conclusion in his heart.
"Sister Shuangxing! Sister Shuangxing!"
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a boy running merrily around Frost Star, causing her to wake up.
"obedient."
Frost Star smiled slightly, and in the orange light of the campfire, the ferocious scar on her face became cute.
Shuangxing reached out her right hand, gently twisted her fingertips, and easily condensed a crystal clear ice flower, which looked particularly beautiful under the light of the campfire. She handed it to the boy: "It's for you."
"Thank you Sister Shuangxing~"
The boy held the ice flowers in both hands and ran away happily. His ice flowers attracted the envy of his friends around him.
"Can you condense ice with your bare hands?"
Shuangye frowned, she couldn't do it like Shuangxing. This kind of stable power control was at least as good as that of a senior operator.
But Shuangye was not one to give up casually. She turned to look at the Ursus next to her: "Can you open my handcuffs?"
The Ursus looked at her blankly and muttered a bunch of words. He couldn't understand Shuangye, and Shuangye couldn't understand what he was talking about.
The companion next to the Ursus explained: "Big Bear is afraid that you will run away."
ah?
Shuangye was doubtful. Judging from the words that the Ursus man named Big Bear just said, judging from his rich facial expressions, it didn't seem like he was afraid of her running away.
"what you up to?"
Froststar's voice sounded from behind.
"I'm going to do something interesting first. How about untying it? I'm a wounded person anyway, so I can't beat you. Besides, there are so many of you. Are you still afraid of me running away?"
Shuangye raised her hands, her wrists were bruised with blood from the handcuffs, which was really heartbreaking.
"Let her go."
Froststar winked, and the Snow Monster team member next to him took out the key, opened the handcuffs, and temporarily released Frostleaf.
Gently rubbing the painful wrist, Shuangye was not idle: "Your integration movement must have occupied this place. I want a few things, drinking water, milk and sugar. They should be available, right?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Shuangye pretended to be mysterious and said: "You guess."
"Don't play tricks," Froststar warned.
"No, I want to do something interesting."
"Without milk, dairy products would not exist today. Drinking water and sugar are easily available. Do you have an alternative?"
Shuangye had learned how to make ice cream in St. Martin's system. The current situation did not allow her to make delicious ice cream, but simple ice drinks were still possible. Milk was only the first choice material, and substitutes were easy to find.
"Fruit, preferably seasonal fruit."
A few minutes later, a basin of cold water was placed in front of her. To her right were some fruits of poor quality and a bottle of sugar.
Shuangye held a short knife and quickly peeled and chopped the fruit. The skill of driving the Origin Stone emitted from her left hand, and the basin of cold boiling water gradually turned into a mixture of ice and water.
Her movements were smooth and smooth, and she quickly made a bowl of shaved ice. Due to the lack of seasoning ingredients, the taste was not good, but it was better than nothing.
Sweet and cool, it was quickly welcomed by the children.
"Don't eat too much, otherwise you will get a stomachache."
Shuangye turned around triumphantly and looked at Shuangxing. The other person opened his fingers, condensed a piece of ice, and crushed it in his palm.
Shuangxing looked at the remaining half bowl of shaved ice and shook his head slightly: "I remember you were a warrior, why would you do such a boring thing now?"
"Soldiers are also human beings, and people always have various needs. Don't you want to try them?"
Frost Star still shook his head: "You just used a whole bottle of sugar. It's such a waste. We have never done such a luxurious thing."
"I'm not qualified to accuse you, but your life should have a different color besides ice and snow."
Shuangye thought of the potatoes and vegetables in the lunch box. Such poor food was unimaginable in Rhode Island. Some operators were even complaining that the canteen couldn't cook.
"The ice field is nothing but ice and snow."
"Whatever you think."
Shuangye looked at her hand, a ray of cold air burst out, and then quickly dissipated, let alone condensed ice. Maybe she would never reach Shuangxing's level of strength.
"You are already doing well as you are, but any more will be life-threatening."
For the first time in so long, Shuangxing spoke positively about his own strength, but Shuangye couldn't be happy at all.
At this moment, a woman's cold voice came out from the darkness. Shuangye was so shocked that he stepped back again and again, trying to avoid her edge.
"You seem to be getting along well."
The tyrant walked out of the darkness and came in front of everyone. The singing and dancing snow monsters all stopped and paid tribute to the leader of the integration movement.
"It's not harmonious. She is our prisoner after all."
Is this Tallulah?
For some reason, Shuangye didn't dare to observe Tallulah with her straight eyes. She could only lower her head and inquire about the tyrant who was not standing not far away from the corners.
“Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals always takes in some interesting people.”
"They always do."
There was a hint of playfulness in the tyrant's tone: "I heard that the food at the Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company is better than ours. Lyudmila is living a good life there."
"Leader, Lyudmila and we are one, she will not betray us."
"Then you will be responsible for the exchange of prisoners. No one else can take action for the time being."
Froststar noticed Tyrant staring at the half-tub of shaved ice.
"Does the leader want to come too?"
"OK."
Shuangye couldn't believe his ears. Was the leader of the integration movement so down-to-earth?
But Tallulah's voice appeared in her ears again: "Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, you and your doctors should have been on the side of the infected."
Although Shuangye couldn't raise her head to see Tallulah, her heart was extremely firm: "I only listen to the doctor, and the doctor has the final say!"
"You guys will understand eventually."
The tyrant went away, and the terrible pressure gradually dissipated. Only then did Shuangye find that he was sweating, his back was soaked, and he could not help but shiver when the cold wind blew.
The last time she faced the tyrant, the other party's attention had been on Huang, so Shuangye didn't feel any pressure, but just now it was like a big mountain was pressing directly on her, almost crushing her body and mind.
"Do you really believe in your doctor?"
Shuangxing suddenly asked back. She didn't wait for Shuangye to answer, and continued: "I once met him in Chernobog, and he was very utilitarian."
After she finished saying this, she suddenly realized something and ordered: "Big Bear, take her back to the cell. The time for her to have fun tonight has passed."
The snow monster member named Big Bear murmured again, pointing at the door Shuangye came out of before, and asked her to go back.
Just go back.
Shuangye felt like he had walked away from the gate of hell again tonight. That was Tallulah, how scary it was.
She completely lost the courage to stop the tyrant on the battlefield.
And what about the exchange of prisoners and themselves for the regicide?
Just when Shuangye was about to leave, the children who had been gathered around the campfire came over and asked loudly: "Sister Shuangxing, can we eat such delicious food again in the future?"
"Okay, I will cook it for you in the future, but you must be obedient."
"Sister Shuangxing, will that sister also take the big boat with us?"
Shuangxing said softly: "No, she has more important things to do."
What is a big boat ride?
Shuangye was puzzled. She tossed and turned alone in the cell and couldn't sleep. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt. She had become the captive of the snow monster princess and was being used as a bargaining chip to exchange the regicide with Rhode Island.
The Kingslayer was doing quite well in Rhode Island and even gained a few pounds.
Shuangye is aware of this. She is a frequent visitor to Doberman's training classes and often spars with Jian Lei.
"What do they mean by taking a big boat?"
Judging from the clothes of those children, they were obviously Colombians and locals from the Rust Belt. Thinking of the man who delivered the meal before, Shuangye vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.
Materials for the integrated movement are still scarce, and even uniforms are not neatly matched.
They had kept a low profile in the Rust Belt, obviously not here to promote themselves, and even Tallulah came in person, which meant something caught her eye.
Shuangye carefully calculated in his mind, filtered all the information obtained, and tried to find a way to inform the commander of the ship as soon as possible.
Escape?
She slowly moved off the bed, groped for the door, and gently clasped her fingers on the door handle...
The door is unlocked? !
how so? !
Shuangye looked at the door handle in surprise. She didn't dare to open the door easily. What if it was a trap?
Froststar and her team of snow monsters must have been too careless. The cell door was not locked.
Quietly pushing open a gap, Shuangye peeked out and saw Froststar and the members of the Snow Monster team sitting around the campfire. They seemed to be talking about something.
"Since the leader suddenly changed more than a year ago and began to use various violent methods to gather infected people and capture Chernobog, we all thought that she would continue to attack other mobile cities, but everything came to an abrupt end and she seemed to have changed again. came back."
As Shuangxing spoke, there were only flickering tongues of fire in her eyes, and she fell into deep memories.
"Remember the last instruction we gave to leave Chernobog?"
The member of the Snow Monster team sitting next to her whispered: "We were ordered to attack Longmen, but we canceled it at the last moment of execution."
"Yes, that's when the leader changed again, and then we went and farmed for a year."
Shuangxing's voice was erratic. Everything that had happened over the past year seemed like an illusory dream. The leader suddenly understood a lot of things. Maybe she had hidden her true self before?
Shuangye listened and suddenly heard Shuangxing's cold voice: "Sister, how long are you going to eavesdrop at the door?"
Discovered?
Shuangye couldn't help but be shocked. She was obviously hiding well, how could she be discovered?
