My Arknights Life Diary

Chapter 40 Tallulah

Sasha and Guigui left long footprints on the snow. The snow that hindered Tu Fang's movements had much less impact on them than on Tu Fang. After all, they were not like Tu Fang. They were all "Terra Supermen". As long as they kept warm, there might be some difference in the speed of walking on the snow and on flat ground, but it would never be as difficult for them to move as Tu Fang.

"Turtle, are you sure we are on the right path? Look, the sun is almost at the center..."

"I'm not sure. When I came here before, there wasn't so much snow that the roads were not covered. Now, it's all snow and some places are hard to distinguish."

Sasha:................

"Well... at least the general direction can't be wrong, right?"

Sasha sighed and turned to Turtle.

"Yes, the general direction is definitely correct. If it weren't for the heavy snow, we would have arrived a long time ago!"

Sasha was very tired now. After listening to Guigui's detailed route, he estimated that it would only take half a day at most. However, due to the changes in the road, Guigui could not recognize some places, and it was delayed until noon...

But thinking of Tu Fang who was still sick, he could only quicken his pace, hoping to reach the tricycle as soon as possible.

But they didn't know that their wandering in the forest attracted the attention of two people.

In the bushes in the distance, there were two infected patrols, their eyes were silently observing Guigui and Sasha...

"Boss, there are two children over there, one of them seems to be infected, should we......"

One of the two men spoke cautiously.

"Don't make things complicated. Our most important goal now is to escape from the pursuit of that dragon girl. (Ursus swears). Now there are only you and me in our team. We must be careful about everything. I don't think they have much supplies. If we really kill them, it will be difficult not to leave traces. If the dragon girl catches up with us, we will both be doomed!"

The man called captain by another picket member obviously thought more than that member.

"Captain, you're the one who thinks so much. What should we do now? Should we continue to find a place to hide, or... Ouch! Captain, what are you doing?"

Just as the team member wanted to continue asking questions, the captain fanned him on the head with his hand.

"Are you stupid? We can just go in the opposite direction! Look at those two kids. They have almost no supplies on them. How could they survive in this icy and snowy place? Either they hid the supplies and didn't bring them with them, or someone is secretly helping them!"

The team member was not really a fool. Obviously, he understood the meaning of the captain's words, but he still asked weakly.

"Captain, now I understand what you said. We need to follow their footsteps to find their camp and take their supplies. But why did you hit me just now? Ouch!"

Obviously, the team member was hit on the head by the captain again.

"That's all you need to know. Don't say anything unnecessary. Follow me closely, and remember to clean up your tracks."

"oh........."

The team member, who was still having a headache, stopped talking and followed the captain silently, clearing away the traces left by the two of them...

“This place…”

Sasha stared at a tree pit in a daze. This was the place where he and Ino had stayed before Tu Fang found them...

If it weren't for Brother Tu Fang, perhaps both Yinuo and I would have frozen to death in this place?

Sasha thought to herself

"Sasha, what's wrong with you? We still have to keep going!"

Turtle looked at the dazed Sasha, and asked curiously.

"Yeah, no problem, let's keep going."

Sasha did not continue to immerse himself in his inner thoughts. He knew that he had to hurry to Sanlun to get the medicine. However, after passing this place, he also confirmed one thing: the road pointed by Guigui might have some minor problems in the specific path, but the general direction was definitely correct.

Not long after Sasha and Turtle left the tree pit, Sasha felt someone was following them.

Because Sasha has lived in the wild with Ino for a long time, his five senses are very sharp, especially in tracking and being tracked. Coupled with his Originium skills, this makes ordinary stealth impossible in front of him.

"Who's there?"

Turtle:?

Tallulah: (How did he find me?)

Sasha raised the bow and arrow and aimed at where Tallulah was hiding.

"If you don't come out, I'll shoot you!"

Only then did Tallulah realize that the child in front of her had really discovered her, so she simply walked out of her hiding place.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Seeing Talullah coming out from her hiding place, Sasha did not put down his bow and arrow, but still pointed the bow at Talullah.

"Why are you following us?"

"What if I say that I entered this forest to chase two escaped infected patrol members, and then I ran into you by chance, and I followed you in secret to protect you, would you believe me?"

Sasha obviously didn't believe this answer. After all, it was a bit too coincidental. Besides, the woman in front of him had no relationship with him and he was also infected. Why would she save him?

"I don't know you. We are not related at all. Why would you save us?"

"Haha, if I have to tell you why I saved you, well... maybe it's because I'm also infected!"

As she said this, Tallulah revealed the Originium crystal on her body.

Seeing the Originium crystals on Tallulah’s body, Sasha relaxed his vigilance a little and stopped pointing the bow and arrow at Tallulah (in fact, this primitive bow and arrow posed no threat at all to Tallulah, and the reason why she could “play” with Sasha and the others until now was purely because they were both children...).

"Then can you tell me why you are running around in this icy environment? You are infected. It would be very dangerous if you encounter an infected patrol team."

Before Sasha could answer, the turtle on the other side heard a topic that he could finally have a say in, and immediately spoke up.

"We're going to get medicine for Tu Fang!"

Sasha:..............

Tallulah heard an unfamiliar name and was curious, so she asked

"Then can you tell me who Tu Fang is?"

As soon as Tu Fangguigui was mentioned, he was no longer sleepy and started to talk like a machine gun.

"Tu Fang is Guigui's brother. He gives Guigui lots of delicious food! He also lets Guigui sleep in a soft sleeping bag... (many words omitted here)"

"Stop, stop, stop. I think I understand."

After hearing these rapid-fire words, Tallulah felt a little dizzy. She turned to ask Sasha, and Sasha's answer was very concise.

"Tu Fang is a good person."

Next, Tallulah learned the whole story from Sasha and the others, and realized that Tu Fang was indeed a good person. After all, how bad could someone be who would give his sleeping bag to a child?

"By the way, is that true about the infected patrol team you mentioned earlier?"

Sasha suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Of course it's true. How could my sister lie to you?"

"Then can you tell me their general direction?"

"Although they were very careful, they still left traces. Based on my search results along the way, they probably fled in that direction."

Tallulah pointed in a direction.

Sasha looked at the terrain and compared the direction, and found that was the location of their cave!

"Oh no! There is a cave in their direction! We haven't cleared our tracks, they may find the cave by following our tracks! Ino and the others are in danger!"

"Ah? Then what should we do? Tu Fang and the others are in danger! Tu Fang is sick now, so he definitely can't beat the bad guys. What should we do?"

Guigui also became anxious. Tu Fangzheng was sick and now there was the threat of the patrol team.

"If they have already followed the trail, it would be too late for us to go back now. Forget it, we should go back as soon as possible!"

As Sasha was about to pull Turtle back, he was stopped by Talula with one hand.

"Hmm? Have you all forgotten about me? Besides, if they really find the cave you mentioned, it won't be of any use for you two kids to go back."

Tallulah grabbed Turtle and Sasha and started running quickly.

"You show the way."

Tallulah spoke to Sasha.

"Um, by the way, big sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Tallulah, what's yours?"

"My name is Snake Tuxiang, you can also call me Turtle."

"Sasha."

"Okay, I get it. Next you better hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

----------

Tallulah was very fast, or rather, this short distance was not far at all for a dragon like Tallulah.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Sasha rushed into the cave in a hurry.

"Ino! Ino! Are you okay!"

Sasha broke into the cave and fell silent after seeing the scene inside the cave...

In the cave, Tu Fang was still dozing in his sleeping bag, while Yinuo and Xiaoke were heating emergency food to eat, and there were two fainted strangers on the ground...

(It is easy for Xiaoke to deal with just two members of the infected patrol team with his fighting ability)
