Steel steam and flame

The mood has not completely calmed down yet, and Fenia's movements also seemed stiff. I felt a little dazed in the middle, but when I looked in front of me again, the shadow of the young man suddenly disappeared. An inexplicable panic burst out from the surrounding darkness. Finia stood there, not knowing where to put her steps for a moment. When she wanted to shout softly, the black shadow of the young man appeared in front of her.

"The enemy drives a chariot and is much faster than us. When they see the man's body, they can easily guess that we are evacuating from the mine, so please concentrate." The serious voice reading the textbook, Feeney Ya nodded and lowered his head again, "I'm sorry, I will pay attention."

After cheering herself up, Finia lowered her voice and took a few deep breaths. She didn't know why she just followed the young man in front of her. It was just because he saved her just now and knew that she was sent by the king's forces, so she naturally regarded him as one of her own. Complete trust was given. Maybe it’s because of the sense of security? Fenia thought that the pair of crossed pupils she saw on the chariot still left a deep impression on her mind. With a woman's delicate insight, she firmly believed that those eyes were different from hers and those of many others.

When putting on makeup, Finia would always look in the mirror and observe the cross pupils in her eyes. The crossed blood-red crosses resembled the burning execution racks written in previous books. As long as the power is strong enough, everyone can be imprisoned on it. The shape and details of the pupils are very clear, and by comparison, the differences are easy to spot.

It made people feel frightened for no reason, but from it, Finia felt an unknown sense of security. That was the feeling of satisfaction I often felt before I became a surgeon.

But what should we do if this is the enemy’s plan? I deliberately chose a man who could make people feel at ease. Although that face cannot be described as beautiful, nor is it the type that most women like. After walking about several kilometers along the mountainside, Finia, who had recovered a little, suddenly thought that she raised her head and secretly observed the man in front of her in the night. All he saw was a blurry black shadow without any details, and he was not focused. Even though he was less than a few meters away, Finia thought she couldn't spot him. There seems to be no breath on the body. Once it stops, it can immediately blend into the surrounding black.

Thinking of her confident disguise and concealment, Finia felt that she was like a child who had just learned to speak in front of the man.

"Sir, thank you for saving me just now." After walking a few kilometers again, the two of them were already going down the hillside, preparing to return to the town via another road. Finia finally said at this time. It felt like summoning up some courage. Whenever Finia wanted to say something, she always felt like she needed to hold her breath in her chest before she could make a sound.

"I just saw you on the way, so there is no need for this. After all, the enemies are the same. If you don't do it now, you will have to find time to do it later." The young man waved his hands in front, his speed increased due to the slight gasp in Finia's words. Slower.

"Just rest here for ten minutes. The enemy didn't catch up. He must have lost his target." After saying that, Finia saw the man walk to a tree and sit down. She took a few steps forward again and met the man. He stopped a few meters away, found a stone, sat down, and let out a breath.

"How long have you been here?"

"Less than three days." Finia carefully touched her feet with her hands to determine the extent of the injuries sustained in the recent battle. She looked in the direction of the man and answered softly and seriously. It wasn't because of fear, Finia was very aware of the man's demonstrated strength. It's just that when the mouth is opened, the sound becomes like this naturally. She really wanted to see the man's complete face, but the night was an obstacle. And when she was beside the chariot not long ago, even with the light, what Finia saw was nothing more than a black and white sketch-like face. Just like knowing which angle the light from several lamps will shine on, the light will always cast a dark shadow on that face.

"We still wanted to observe for a while, but the superiors were urging us very urgently, and they were constantly increasing the reward amount. So later everyone unanimously decided to take action, because the superiors also provided a map of the old mining area. During the investigation in the first three days , it was determined that the terrain of the old mining area was completely consistent with the map. I just didn’t expect that the rebel forces had many detection devices on their hands. They were devices that can sensitively detect all kinds of metals. For us who have all been more or less mechanically transformed, it is no different. So fatal.”

Fenia explained in detail: "We were surrounded. Fortunately, we found out in time and had a chance to break out. After we separated, the enemy concentrated their personnel to pursue us..."

There is no need to explain what follows, you already know what happened. The other two people who were caught were fine, and the interrogation was nothing more than physical torture. But for Fenia, through Sworthy's words, they will face an abyss that cannot be climbed out of.

Thinking of her brother at this time, Finia turned her head and looked at the old mining area, feeling lost for a moment.

"The old mining area has been blocked. You know that tens of thousands of troops are stationed here. Once you lose the opportunity, you can only hide inside. After tonight, the enemy's vigilance on this side of the mountain will definitely be strengthened. Too anxious, You. Also, didn’t the higher-ups tell you about the strength of the surgeons here?” Finia was pulled back by the young man’s words, “Let’s go, the rebels are catching up with them with hounds.”

"I mentioned it before, but because I said I'm just here to check the accuracy of the information, so..."

The young man did not speak. He had already thought of the reason why the king's forces did this. It's more like having enough money in hand and starting to become a little numb to the amount of money.

"Obviously, these people were paid to die. They are all mercenaries and bounty hunters. None of their own personnel were dispatched, and they were still observing the development of the situation."

He didn't say it out loud, but Finia was very young. The man thought she was about the same age as him, or maybe a bit older. It doesn't take long to become a surgeon, and the strength is only at the first stage of surgery, and most likely only in the later stages. If such people can be brought into the team, then there is a rough upper limit to the quality of the team.

"Dead." A female voice said, "His team members said they were going to pick you up. Do you know anything? Occam?"

"I don't know. Besides, you should have guessed what happened. Due to your gender, I can't speak." The man called Occam looked like a humanoid brown bear. At this moment, he walked to Sworthy's body and grabbed the body with his right hand that had been completely replaced by machinery. "I found it myself, no one else to blame." He threw the body onto the chariot and said, "You can go back, and you can't catch up with me." There will be consequences. But Swousy's death reminded me of something."

"The enemy that lurked into the center of the mine not long ago?"

"Even if it's not him, it still has a lot to do with it." Ockham said. "If you want to report this situation, the detection machine has no response to the enemy at all. Those people should know something."
