One carriage after another carried the snow monster team away from the camp. It was getting late at this time, and it would be dark soon. They had to travel all night.
Shuangxing stood in one of the open carriages, looking forward. Zhou Jinru was standing on her right side.
"Miss Yelena, I won't take what you just said seriously."
It would be a fool's errand to take the quarrel between the two girls seriously.
Zhou Jinru was very self-aware, and the reason why he said this was to resolve the embarrassment.
"Don't worry, you don't need to take any responsibility."
"No, I don't want to be regarded as a scumbag. In fact, I am a serious person. I rarely even talk to girls."
Of course, Shuangxing would not believe Zhou Jinru's statement.
You can make the Dragon Goddess smitten as soon as you meet her, but you still say you have no experience?
Zhou Jinru sneered in his heart, Dragon Girl's acting skills are just passable, even if she tells the truth now, she will still kill me in a few years.
The carriage drove at a constant speed on the ice field. They passed through a small forest and then climbed over a hill to reach the mine.
Froststar was worried, and she was even more worried about the safety of the Patriots, but when she thought about it carefully, there was no one who could wipe out all the guerrillas on this land and then kill the ancient bloodline Wendigo. In the end, she had to classify it as her own Thinking too much.
Zhou Jinru saw her thoughts and whispered: "This is my first time coming to the mine in the Usas Icefield. Is there anything I need to introduce?"
He knew that White Rabbit was born in the mine, and her first half of life was full of hardships. If the patriots had not rescued her in time, she would have froze to death in the snow.
"The mine is not a good place. For the mine owners, they don't need to personally handle the mine. Naturally, professional managers from Casimir will take care of it. In other words, the mine owners only know that there is a steady stream of money coming in. As for what the miners do, how the Originium mines are processed, where they go, and what they will become in the end, I have no idea.”
This is a rentier class, which can be seen not only in Ursus, but also wherever there are cities on Terra.
They just need to invest the extra spare money in their hands and wait for returns.
"Mining is a high-risk profession, especially when mining source minerals. If the protective equipment is not up to standard, you can easily become infected, or you may hide your condition and continue working in the mines, and you will eventually be discovered and arrested by the picket team and sent to the extreme. Toil in the land of the north till death;
Either run away quickly, leave the mine, try to find a place without people, pray that you won't be caught, and finally die silently in a corner because you are too poor and unable to see a doctor. "
Froststar spoke of the despair from Ursus in a calm tone. She was born in such a mine, faced the death of her relatives due to oppression, and took up arms to resist with the help of patriots.
Zhou Jinru doesn't think Yelena is a terrible person. After all, people living in peaceful times don't understand what troubled times and precarious times mean.
Over the course of a hundred years, he saved countless lives and killed countless people, and experienced several wars personally.
"Changing this situation cannot be achieved overnight. Yelena, do you think there is hope for the integration movement?"
"I……"
Shuangxing didn't know how to answer. Based on her shallow understanding, everything the Dragon Girl is doing now is to fight for the interests of the weak. They take in those poor people who have nowhere to go and call each other compatriots, while those who oppose the integration movement will call They are executioners, hypocrites and even warlords.
Is the integrated movement what it is?
No one can say for sure, and no one may be qualified to say such a thing.
Froststar didn't mind such slander. She knew that her compatriots could stop to take a breath, drink a sip of hot water, and eat some food, instead of continuing to be squeezed to death.
Zhou Jinru looked at Miss Carters' troubled expression and sighed silently in his heart.
At least in 1093, the Integration Movement could still be called a civilian armed organization fighting for the weak, because they did really well. The cause of all hopes being shattered was the death of Alina who was still in the base camp. The person who caused this organization to lose control of the steering wheel accelerated all the way to hell with the sudden change of the dragon girl.
Tallulah in 1093 could be said to be best friends with Frost Star, but by 1097, she killed Frost Star, and hundreds of thousands of people died directly or indirectly at her hands.
Later, it was discovered that the Duke of Coscich controlled Tallulah, so who should be blamed for this?
Zhou Jinru feels that he may not be able to change the Qicheng incident because he is part of history, but he may have a chance to prevent Alina's death.
"We will not stop doing something because of what others say. We will do it if it is beneficial to our ideals. If it is not beneficial, we will not do it. If we do some things, we may not see the effect in the short term, but in the long run It seems good, but some things are just the opposite. They may seem good for a while, but they will have bad consequences after a while. You must not do it.”
Shuangxing thought for a long time and finally said this.
"Who said this?"
"A friend I don't know very well. She is a rural teacher and has a good relationship with the leader."
The relationship between the fourth gentleman in front of him and the dragon girl is also good. They have known each other a long time ago.
Zhou Jinru noticed that Shuangxing's mood was a bit sour. Could a girl as big as an ice cube be jealous?
The rural teacher she was talking about was probably Alina, the political commissar of the integration movement and the person who straightened the steering wheel.
Zhou Jinru was troubled by not being able to find her whereabouts, and at the moment he just wanted to get clues from Shuangxing.
"What do you care so much about?"
Froststar looked at him warily.
While having an affair with Dragon Girl, you are thinking about other girls at the same time. Even if you are flirtatious, you have to have a limit. Don't go too far!
Moreover, you can’t completely trust him!
"The person who said this is very powerful, I'm curious, that's all."
Zhou Jinru didn't want to alert others. He wasn't sure if there was an undercover agent in the snow monster team, so he could only think about it in the long term.
…
The convoy climbed over a hill with difficulty, and saw sparks in the darkness ahead, and the outlines of residential buildings could be vaguely seen. The residential areas surrounding the mine were very close at hand.
"Be careful. We don't go in. The convoy will stay outside. Two more teams will cross the mine and continue to investigate to the north. Keep communication open at all times."
Shuangxing quickly gave the order and saw four carriages separated from the convoy, going around in two directions and running towards the north.
"We go to the square where the goods are loaded and unloaded. There is a bell there to summon the miners. We try to collect as many carriages as we can borrow and try to get the people out first."
After she said this, she stared at the clock tower standing in the darkness and fell into deep thought.
The arrival of the integration movement alarmed nearby residents. After all, a dozen carriages full of people still looked scary.
