Steel steam and flame

All the inspectors ran out of the room next to the passage. A dozen of them were very fast. After the tanks left, they quickly pulled up the roadblock and moved out the heavy machine guns and set them up behind the movable bunker to guard the entrance to the passage.

"It can't be Hessler." I unfolded the map in my head, and the route I came to explore tonight separated far away, heading in different directions. It should be someone else who aroused the vigilance of the rebel forces, such as the personnel sent by the king to investigate, but they were discovered accidentally.

Cassia thought so. He wanted to wait for the lights to go out and leave quietly. Two minutes passed, and the lamp still emitted light. There is probably another main switch in the inspector's room that can turn these lights on and off independently of the voice control switch. After exhaling, Cassia began to make sounds with her throat. Fortunately, the guards were all ordinary people. After supporting the low-frequency sound waves for less than two or three minutes, they all showed signs of weakness. After they wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, Cassia left the hiding position, went deep into the passage again, and chose other mine network connected here to find the exit.

There is no chance for people outside to explore here tonight. In the future, there will be more intrusions. They don't want the rebel forces to know that someone has sneaked into the mine, otherwise they will definitely respond urgently.

With the help of air flow and sound detection, Cassia emerged from a narrow natural cave about ten minutes later. Already halfway up the mountain, Cassia looked at the old mining area ahead. There were vague lights flickering in it. They were people from the rebel forces. I don't know whether they were searching or they had found the target and were rounding them up.

The chariot made a "rumbling" sound and drove past. Several tanks were lined up in a row, each with several small, strong searchlights on them, carefully searching the surroundings one by one. When the sound faded away, in the dark night, the ground on the side where the chariot was passing moved. Then a man sat up from the soft soil and let out a long, soothing breath.

His face was covered with mud wet with blood, and dots of white bones could be vaguely seen under the wound on his forehead. The man wiped the dirt off his face and carefully squeezed the wound to stop the bleeding that was still oozing.

"Already gone, we need to leave here immediately." The man said to the surroundings in a low voice, and then the other two people also sat up, whispered the dirt off their bodies, and stood up.

The sound of vehicle engines could also be heard in the surroundings, either approaching or moving away from the three of them. After standing up and hunching their bodies, the three of them did not immediately choose a direction to evacuate, but observed their surroundings.

"The periphery of the old mining area is probably blocked. In our current situation, breaking out from there is tantamount to seeking death. Who knows where the detection device they have comes from. I have seen that thing in the hands of the regular army before. Yes. But the number is definitely not that large. It was a device for special teams. How come it is now being used by ordinary soldiers?" One of them said with some confusion and fear, "There are surgeries in several countries in recent years. Most of them have been mechanically transformed, so it is impossible to hide them when you encounter them."

"Then we can only go up the mountain. Several others are probably facing the same situation as us. I don't know if anyone has successfully escaped." The speaker was raising one of his hands, and his face was a little shaky because of the pain. Bai, also with blood, "We have a basic map of this place in our hands. We have made a lot of preparations and detailed plans. We cannot say that our actions are extremely cautious, but we will never be careless. But we still got this result. , I really don’t know how the person who drew that map was able to mark many details without being discovered with so many detection devices.”

With that said, the two of them sneaked towards the mountain range and walked about ten meters away. They noticed something was wrong and looked back behind them.

The third person was still standing there, looking at the two of them through the blurry night: "I am willing to hand over all the bounty after the mission is completed to you."

The two shook their heads almost at the same time and got closer to the man: "Gers, this is not a matter of bounty, but a matter of life. Now it is not certain whether we can leave this mining area alive before dawn. . Once discovered, the assembled army will definitely kill us alive. Not to mention the surgeons inside who are roughly the same strength as us. What we are good at is lurking and assassination, and we really can't compare with them in frontal combat. You can also see When we arrived, there were several other mechanical transformation surgeons who were as powerful as Zefrei, and the one who injured the three of us was one of them. Almost none of us could escape, and the other party only had a few wounds on his body."

"If you want to save your sister, we won't stop you, but we won't go with you either. Your sister's ability has really helped us a lot. If it weren't for her, we would have been completely surrounded, and we thought we could hide it. Very good. If you and your sister can survive, no matter who it is, I can promise that as long as you can get the bounty alive, I will give half of it to you as a thank you for not long ago."

"Me too." Another person agreed, and then threw out a pistol and tactical knife, "It's a little help. I wish you luck, Gers."

Watching the two people disappear into the night a few seconds later, Gers was stunned for a moment. Half a minute later, he let out a long sigh, wiped his face, then picked up the weapon on the ground, turned around and walked towards the location where they were discovered by the enemy not long ago. That's where the seven were separated when they came under attack. The three of them were relatively lucky. Among the enemies they were chasing, there was no surgeon like Zefrei. After a fight, they killed one of the opponents, and then they successfully got rid of the pursuit and hid here.

But on the other side, the number of people pursuing them was two or three times their number. At the beginning, Zefrei had already had one of his hands cut off, but the opponent's captain was not seriously injured. In addition, not long ago, the direction in which Zefret and the others evacuated was one of the enemy's reinforcement routes, and Gers couldn't let go.

Soon, Gers looked at the large number of people gathered in front of him. The bright lights illuminated the ground a little white, and dozens of people were carefully examining the traces. He didn't see any of his own people, but Gers saw the person who had been chasing him, talking on the phone with a smile on his face.

Seeing a vehicle approaching him, Gers had no choice but to speed up and retreat quietly to avoid entering the range of the detection device.

We can only wait until they evacuate. Gers said in his heart, but his voice seemed weak.

Nearly a dozen tanks turned on their lights and returned to the mining area. The three cars in the middle each carried people who were tightly tied with steel cable ropes. The man who had lost his hand fell into a coma. The remaining two people still had basic consciousness, which could be judged from the look in their eyes.

At this time, a car in the middle suddenly changed direction and came to the side of the convoy.

"Adison!" The speaker happened to re-bandage his injured hand. He turned the steering wheel and said to the person on the last tank with a twisted smile, "Occam has something to ask. I’ll go pick him up, you go back with the other two first, I’ll come over with Occam later.”

"Captain Swasey, you are still injured. How about I pick up Occam for you? Captain, you go back to rest first and take care of the wound." Addison stopped the car and said with some concern.

Sworthy waved his hand: "No, I happen to have something to discuss with him, so you can just leave first." Addison could only nod his head and speed up to catch up with several tanks that had already driven out more than ten meters ahead. .

Seeing the red taillight gradually disappearing into the night, Sworthy restarted the chariot, turned the steering wheel and walked toward the foot of the mountain on the other side, but that was not the opposite direction to the old mining area. Putting one hand on the seat, Sworthy turned sideways and looked at the woman in the back seat.
