Steel steam and flame

Night has completely fallen, and under the scattered perception and sound detection, there is still no one around.

"It seems that they are planning to come here early tomorrow morning, or after a long journey, they also need time to rest and prepare for the next action." Cassia opened her eyes and said to herself, then closed her eyes again, dimly , he took out the revolver, loaded the bullets and put it aside, and finally grabbed the pneumatic sword and held it tightly. Leaning against the ice wall, the sound transmission through the ice layer can significantly expand the range of sound perception. The sound of subtle footsteps can also be captured by Cassia's hearing, so that she can respond at any time.

Time began to flow past in the dark night, and Cassia fell into a semi-sleep state, but her thoughts were running rapidly as if she were trapped in a dream.

After thinking about a lot of things, she made a list of things that needed to be dealt with after the assessment. Cassia put the doubtful points of many things in the depths of her memory one by one, whether they were important or unimportant but missed. This will It was like a self-inspection and inspection, everything was carefully filtered. After all, he will become a different person soon, entering the empire with a new and flawless identity. Cassia hopes that he will not destroy this rare opportunity due to some negligence.

At the same time, the darkness blocked everything outside the ice cave, and the lack of light made vision a burden at this moment. In a temporarily dug ice cave, Andrew and about 30 people sat quietly by the fire, silently checking and sorting out their equipment by the firelight. Soon, some people lowered their heads and rested, while others stared at the red light quietly.

Not long ago, Andrew and several captains had compared the map. As long as they walked through another mountain peak, they would have a location to bury supplies. Although most of the supplies have been taken away, compared with the reduction in the number of people, it is still enough. Therefore, the order was issued very early not to economize. Most of the people in the team were mercenaries who had been selected and formally trained. Andrew knew their personalities and habits. The order seemed a bit redundant, but he still chose to remind them of the danger hidden in the enemy.

After finishing the food in his hand, Andrew dragged several backpacks near him, opened them one by one, and took out the contents. In one of the backpacks was a set of seemingly ordinary combat uniforms, the kind often worn by elite members of the military when they went on missions. The difference lies in the material and structure, which enhances the bulletproof performance and also removes extra pockets and hanging accessories on the outside.

Inside the other three backpacks, soft padding for cushioning could be seen under the firelight, and between the pads were neat rows of special steel-cased bombs. They are all small in size, about half the size of ordinary steel-cased bombs. Their power is between the ordinary type and the enhanced type. What they reduce is the amount of shrapnel used as the main means of killing.

What is powerful is just the impact force generated by the explosion of the platinum gunpowder inside, and because another material is used, the size of the shrapnel will be larger, and the number of shrapnel will be less than half of the ordinary number. It seemed that it was specially made to carry more quantities. Andri unfolded the clothes and could see that there were numerous hooks inside the clothes. The size and spacing were just right for the steel-cased bombs in the backpack.

Taking out two and knocking them gently, Andre nodded with satisfaction at the crisp collision sound, and quietly hung them one by one in his clothes. He never forgets to check the fuse of each one. He is aware of the dangers of his customized products. The detonation time is very short, only one second. Although the stability has been greatly improved after the improvement, if they are hung so densely in a piece of clothing, even if one of them does not explode, there is no possibility of detonating the others. But with his body in normal condition, Andrew didn't have the confidence to withstand the power of even one of them.

Surgery strengthens various basic abilities and physical strength, but as long as there are no surgical developments in specific fields, this body will face guns and bombs, and the result will be the same as that of most ordinary humans. It's just that if a platinum bullet hits an ordinary human being, it may directly blow a big hole and disconnect the body. In the operator's body, the large hole becomes the size of two or three adult palms. But the final result is the same. Without treatment and strong self-healing ability, everyone will die.

Looking at the clothes covered with steel-cased bombs in front of him, Andrew smiled. Putting it aside, he then took out the pistol and pneumatic sword from his body and inspected them one by one.

As late at night, several fires gradually lost their momentum, leaving only weak flames. Except for the two captains of this family, everyone else has already rested.

Hearing the movement of a captain approaching at this time, Andrew looked over: "Be careful tomorrow. You can regard the enemy as a ferocious creature that is crazy because of injuries. It will be good with this mentality."

"I'm worried about the other pursuers."

"That person?" Andrew loaded the pistol, then picked up the pneumatic sword and examined it carefully under the firelight. The captain on the side nodded, then threw a little fuel into the fire, and the flames quickly started to move.

"As long as we end this battle as soon as possible, it doesn't matter what happens next. That man is indeed very dangerous. Prisla's attacks before his death did not kill him, but only caused injuries. But okay, this is good for me. . Now I haven't thought of any way to avoid the damage caused by extremely high current besides resisting hard." Andrew smiled, "Don't forget, we have been catching up for so long, have you seen that behind you? A human figure coming?"

"Ounes and others will not let him catch up easily. Without the team composed of all crazy wolves, we encounter the wolf king, and it is a wolf king who obviously does not have much experience. There is also a good chance of escape. If you have this energy for thinking, it’s best to leave it to tomorrow morning.”

After a long time, about thirty people woke up almost at the same time. The flames burst into flames instantly, and the temperature in the ice seemed to have risen a little. Andrew opened his eyes and waited until he was completely awake. He looked at the mechanical watch and began to check the time with others.

In the dim light of the early morning, a group of people emerged from the ice cave and slowly came to the end of the obvious trace in front of them. Andrew pointed in front of him, and several people immediately rushed out of the team. They used firecrackers as shovels and dug away a thick layer of snow. A compacted trace covered by the snow was exposed to the brighter light. inside.

It also has an obvious tunnel look, with crawling traces pointing forward in a zigzag direction.
