Steel steam and flame

"You must understand many things, but ideas and actions are often not on the same line." Ye Jielin stood up, "I will wait for you at the edge of the assessment, otherwise with your personality, you will definitely disappear for a while after the assessment. Time. It’s always been a hassle trying to find you at any time.”

Speaking of climbing onto Cassia's back, Ye Jielin exhaled, but still didn't get any reply. When she spoke, it was Cassia who had already sent Ye Jielin to the edge. There, you can see the lighthouse specially prepared by the Imperial Parliament in the distance to guide anyone who comes here.

"When the assessment is over, the airship on the black cloud will definitely launch a signal flare to notify everyone. If you are not in danger, please stay here and wait for the assessment to end." Under the faint light of the lighthouse, Ye Jielin could only see the card A little sparkle in Sia's eyes. She knew it had other meanings, but she couldn't guess it at the moment.

When Cassia's figure disappeared from sight, Ye Jielin walked towards the building under the lighthouse. It is a vehicle-mounted mobile base, a necessary equipment for field operations. It can adapt to a variety of environments and can provide a wide indoor space and solid defense when expanded.

Stopping a hundred meters away, Ye Jielin saw an eye-catching red sign in front, which represented the range of the assessment area. Finding a place to lean on around her, Ye Jielin sat down to rest, feeling powerless filling her body.

Cassia stopped after walking a few hundred meters. He looked behind him, as if he wanted to remember the different appearance of Ye Jielin under the voice. He said "Goodbye after a long time", then turned around and walked towards the station established by the Leonard family.

Shortly after dawn, Cassia could already capture the shadow of the mountain peak in the distance, far ahead. Occasionally, you can see traces left by other people on the surrounding snow. They must have been people rushing to the edge. Stopping to rest at this time, Cassia ate all the food he brought with him. After simplifying the weapons again, he abandoned them together with his backpack. You don't need to carry a lot of bullets. In the following time, the pneumatic sword will play its original role.

Because I was not worried about encountering any threats from the Leonard family after the assessment, my mood became much more comfortable at this moment.

"The first thing is to let yourself enter the eyes of the hidden monitors." On the way, Cassia recalled her plan. It was not easy for others to confirm her death, because there were still many people who wanted to confirm her death. Involves hiding oneself. But now that more people know about themselves, and later about their own deaths, when the number increases, the real facts will be covered up, and they will seem unimportant. I never thought that I could deceive everyone's eyes, but the news could stay in their hearts and continue to interfere with judgment. This was the result Cassia wanted.

"All the follow-up preparations are completed, all that's left is me." When the mountain peak solidified in front of him, Cassia's body temperature dropped sharply in a few breaths. After checking his surroundings to make sure that he would not be affected by the temperature or vision, he got into the snow and began to crawl forward.

It was more than an hour later that obvious traces of the battle were observed. He thought it was just a simple defensive position built against rocks. The sight of the torn armor plates made Cassia change his mind. That was supposed to be used for protection on the armor, but it was also delivered by the Leonard family as supplies before the assessment.

The traces of freezing told Cassia a lot of information. In terms of firepower, Leonard had heavy machine guns, large-caliber cannons, and artillery with increased power. In addition to bulky armor plates for defense, composite bulletproof plates used for single-player combat are also often seen in ruins. In addition, weapons and ammunition were extremely well prepared. There are large traces in the snow connecting the ruins. As you follow along, you will find five huge iron boxes quietly placed in an dug ice cave. The remaining half could not be moved, and Cassia happened to pick out some useful ones. The items from the Twenty-Third Duke Family were all high-quality products.

It can be known that the Leonard family's hunting operation ended in failure. Around the ruins, Cassia did not see the corpses of the second-type creatures, only some scattered scales, which also had the function of natural mimicry when they fell. All the corpses of the Leonard family members probably went into the belly of the creature. When Cassia followed the evacuation traces of the Leonard family, he didn't see any of them.

"Natural mimicry, a body that can defend against the power of heavy machine guns, what kind of creature could it be? But the condition of that creature may not be better than that of the Leonard family. If they didn't pursue it later, the Leonard family's losses should be somewhat greater than theirs. It's my imagination." He would establish a defensive position at the foot of the mountain and make full preparations. His original intention was to kill the ferocious creature in a very short time after it was released. They will definitely try their best, but when they find that the plan cannot be achieved in a short period of time, compared to the war of attrition, they have to stop due to the increasing losses.

I don’t know when it will end. The tundra climate makes the temperature almost disappear. It is impossible to estimate the time based on the remaining temperature at the ruins.

The trace changed directions several times along the way, and finally turned from heading towards the central area to the edge of the central area. They passed a mountain peak on the way, and there were only traces of battle left there. In addition, the foot of the mountain was no longer an ideal gathering place for examiners. Because the traces had become intertwined at this time, Cassia chose to look around the mountain peak, hoping to get some information from other assessors.

At the foot of the mountain, I met several people who came to collect information. In exchange for the situation on several other mountain peaks, Cassia got the location where the Leonard family who passed by here finally stopped.

"Nowadays, the gathering place is mostly chosen on the raised terrain between the mountain peaks. The default rule is that there cannot be conflicts between examiners. It is very popular to exchange information in one's hands, because everyone has a lot to lose. According to Intelligence shows that ferocious creatures have varying degrees of intelligence, and people who evacuated from the central area learned that they saw dragons there, with a body length of nearly thirty meters. Their strength must have been suppressed by Avalon, but I haven’t heard of any team taking the initiative to hunt it to obtain a spot.”

Two hours before dark, Cassia successfully saw the gathering place. Compared to before, there were less than a thousand people here, and most of them were people who had drifted between different factions. Most of them have encountered a ferocious creature, and their strength is now forced to be assessed by the assessors to share the information they know in order to formulate hunting strategies.

It was a high ground. Cassia turned around a few times in the crowd in a lonely posture, and finally looked at the edge of the crowd. There were few people approaching there, just like a circle drawn alone. There are three such groups, all of which are relatively complete collections of large family members, and the Leonard family is one of them.

Cassia chose a nearby place to sit down and rest. She glanced over from time to time and stored the scene there in the form of photos in her head. Before dark, he was doing these things - analyzing their injuries, personnel configuration, and the strength they still retain.
