Steel steam and flame

The stacked explosions expanded together in an instant and turned into a huge fireball that bloomed. The impact turned into tangible waves and pushed around layer by layer, spreading to the entire workshop in a few seconds. Danielle and Gerald did not expect that the power of just one shot could reach such a level. These weapons were all obtained by MacDonald through the Imperial Military Department. Apart from him, Danielle had never actually used them. The dozen or so people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to continue attacking were all hit by the impact. The heat wave made the exposed skin dry, and for a while it looked like it was withered.

They quickly hid behind the bunker, and when the flames turned into billowing smoke, Danielle and Gerald ordered a collective attack at the same time. But the only ones who poked their heads out from behind the bunker were them and less than twenty or thirty people around them. Sensing something was wrong, the two people immediately asked the team around them to keep a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the center of the explosion, and guard the front.

Looking at the members behind him who were assisting in the attack, no one could maintain the correct shooting posture. They were all leaning against the machine, and their face was so white under the light of the flare that it looked almost human-like. It was the face of a corpse that had been frozen and then pushed out for autopsy to examine the cause of death. Danielle immediately ordered the others to hold their breath. When she approached a member who was breathing rapidly and wanted to ask about the specific situation, the member slipped from the machine he was leaning on. He quickly held it up with his hands, but what Daniel saw and felt, apart from the eyes with dilated pupils that lost their luster, was the only heartbeat that quickly returned to zero transmitted through the palms of his hands.

Looking up at the others, Daniel saw that except for Olideba and a dozen other members who had been injected with medicine, the bodies of the rest of the team members were lying on the ground at this moment. The futile struggle came to an end in one or two breaths. After Danliel's vision swept back and forth several times, in addition to the dozens of people around her, she could sense the firepower net established by the auxiliary members in front of her. , there is no one alive anymore.

"Adjutant Gerald." Danielle led Olideba and others to retreat more than ten meters away, and established a solid defensive position between several machines.

"Except for the twenty or so people I brought here, all the others died." Gerald's words were full of doubts. There was a group of team members behind him. For a short period of time, the enemy did not even have direct contact with them, but his eyes were Perception does not deceive in this moment.

Gerrard also pulled the team back, guarding each other. Having his men drag in a corpse with an unnaturally red face doesn't mean much.

"Look ahead, pay attention to the few..." As he spoke, the four experimental subjects who started to act made Gerald shut his mouth, and only sighed by himself. "Deputy Captain Daniel, have you found anything?" Gerald asked as he asked his men to start dissecting the corpse on the spot. At this moment, he wondered whether the enemy had already placed some kind of creature around in the short time period not long ago. Poison. Thinking about it this way, the enemy seems to be slowing down in the nearby area, as if they are starting to fight in order to break out of the encirclement.

"We are starting to dissect the corpse, we need time." Doing the same thing, Danielle pulled out the tactical knife, pressed it on the nearest corpse first, then took off the corpse's clothes and skillfully cut it from the center of the chest. Pull the knife. Olideba and others were looking at the dim place dozens of meters away, and several members were searching for flares from the corpses.

Blood surged wildly along the open wound, and Daniel immediately took a step back. Under the light, a large number of finely divided organs swelled out from the residual pressure and air in the body, and fell to the ground along the body.

"The color is normal, the smell is normal, and the temperature is normal." Daniel immediately judged, and then looked back behind him. Four experimental subjects were surrounding the smoke generated by the explosion. "Looking at the appearance of the fragments, eighty or ninety percent of them are Caused by vibration and fragmentation, the correlation with biological agents is not very big."

The thoughts in her head were spinning very, very fast. Daniel recalled all the information about biological agents that she had used, seen, or written down while reading information so far, but she had never found even one that could cause surgery. Biological agents are used to shatter the internal organs of the patient.

The closest thing is that the functions of organs and related tissues rapidly fail in a short period of time, and eventually lose their original functions. None of them had anything to do with the phenomenon in front of her. Danielle moved behind the machine with doubts, took out the communicator and was about to ask Gerald if he had any progress on this, but one of the members beside him became unsteady and fell to the side. On her side.

Subconsciously reaching out to help, the member grabbed the machine to steady his body and put a hand on his stomach. He shook his head at Danielle, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling it as if to relieve the pressure on his body. But the next moment his face instantly turned pale, and then he opened his mouth wide and vomited profusely.

Half of the blood had coagulated into a semi-mushy mass, and pieces of fine organ fragments were spat out by the member. Within a few seconds, the member could no longer support his body and fell to the ground. Danielle walked over in one or two steps, and after a few rapid breaths, this member was also pronounced dead.

In the explosion smoke ahead, the experimental subject had come into contact with the enemy again. Danielle looked at the dozen or so people left beside her and was about to speak. At this time, the perception focused on herself also captured some pain coming from her body. Danriel herself didn't know how long it took for sweat to start to appear unnaturally on her forehead. But within a few short breaths, the dullness and fatigue creeping up her body forced her to pay attention.

"Adjutant Gerald!" Danielle led Olideba and the others to evacuate back. Even if the distance was extended to a hundred meters away, the pain and depression in her body still did not disappear. They continued to intensify, constantly touching Danielle's own body. Be alert to the bottom line.

"I feel it, there is already pain in my body!" Gerald had to distance himself from the center of the explosion before Danielle. "In severe cases, he began to vomit blood, with a small amount of organ fragments. The autopsy of the corpse showed I don’t know if it has anything to do with biological agents, but it is obviously a typical concussion injury. There is something invisible that is transmitting power to us, continuously impacting and shaking our organs and tissues, which are weaker than the body."

"Now we can only think about it this way. The dead will feel it before us. It is most likely because their strength is lower than ours. Their physical strength and quality cannot resist this invisible force!" Gerald only noticed. This point, "It is very likely that it is some kind of surgical development project on the enemy that we don't know! But no matter what kind of development project it is, there should be a rough distance limit, just like temperature sensing, after exceeding a certain range , it will lose most of its effectiveness. I think it is better to keep distance first and figure out how the enemy attacks us. You also feel the pain and fatigue on your body, right? We are not dying at the moment, we all rely on our bodies Keep on holding on with strength!”

"Fortunately, there are four scaly surgeons who can hold back the enemy and give us some buffer time." Gerald sighed. More than a hundred meters ahead, after the flares were extinguished, it was completely shrouded in darkness. But in temperature sensing, after the temperature at the center of the explosion dispersed, the enemy's abnormal temperature image appeared in their eyes again.

Danielle and Gerald reached an agreement at this moment, and both led the team back in the direction they came from. Running at this moment intensified the pain, and the two wanted to extend the distance to 300 meters. But in less than two hundred meters, two or three people on each side stopped on the way. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with organ fragments, they stopped where they were forever.

The originally planned distance seemed to be forgotten by the two of them in a very short period of time, and their footsteps instinctively took them further. More than four hundred meters later, Danielle and Gerald could no longer see the enemy and experimental subjects. There was only a black figure in their field of vision chasing them closely. The temperature perception was about one or two hundred meters away from the limit. The two of them led the team to a stop. In the perception, pain and fatigue were still slowly superimposed in the body.

"Huh..." The person next to him felt uncomfortable and took a deep breath. Facing the sharp gazes of Danielle and others, this member's face suddenly turned pale, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous. I'll take a rest." His body suddenly fell forward without any warning. , until the corpse lying on the ground with residual body temperature passively spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

There were less than seven people left around her for a short period of time, and Daniel felt an inexplicable coldness. Several people's faces were covered with sweat. Carrying hundreds of meters of weight should have seemed like spreading, but now it obviously became a burden for them.

"Adjutant Gerald, retreat for now." Daniel looked at the increasingly pale faces of the people around him, and the rapid breathing that they might not even notice. After thinking for a short time, Daniel answered the call to Jayrard. Ladd said, with a feeling of finally relaxing, "The casualties are too high. We cannot defeat the enemy in a short time. When the organizational team arrives, it will definitely be a disaster for us. It is better to go back and repair." , the current situation does not support us staying here. Maybe those few scaly surgeons can eventually help us defeat the enemy, but how many of us can wait until that time, I have no confidence myself."

"I have the same idea." Gerald replied, making an evacuation gesture to the dozen or so people beside him, "Meet at the warehouse at the end of the road!"

The less than thirty people in the two teams no longer asked about the situation behind them. After traveling two to three hundred meters on their respective routes, the temperature-sensing imaging could no longer capture any information about the enemy.

At the same time, the two enemy teams almost saw that they had exceeded the preset radius, and No. 7, who had been fighting beside them, flew out instantly. Before No. 7 landed, it saw two other experimental subjects flying upside down in different directions at the same time like itself.

The remaining experimental subject seized the opportunity, and when it punched out, a tail wrapped around its feet, throwing it into the air, and then slammed it to the ground. Then one foot stepped on its chest, Cassia bent her body, and her breath hit the experimental subject's face.

He grabbed the experimental subject's head and jaw with both hands. The experimental subject struggled wildly, and his hands continued to bombard Cassia's chest at this moment. But he still couldn't stop his mouth from being slowly opened by a huge force amidst the "click" sound, revealing the flashing scarlet triangular tongue inside. The spiked tail poured in the next moment, mincing the brain tissue of the experimental subject.

The death of an experimental subject seemed to anger No. 7 and the others. The moment they landed, they almost turned into ferocious wolves at the same time, rushing over on all fours.

An experimental subject was punched in the head the moment he approached Cassia. His head hit the ground smoothly, concrete fragments splashed out in all directions, and the ground sunken and rolled up sand, gravel and black soil. Half of the subject's body was lying in the pit, his head was completely driven into the soil, and he briefly lost consciousness. Another experimental subject bumped into Cassia at this time, but it felt like he hit a big mountain. He was about to retreat when a pair of hands, as fast as snake-shaped lightning, instantly wrapped around his head. No. 7 arrived. In the darkness, the chain saw's tail, which was attacking based on induction, was hit to the ground by a darker shadow attack midway. Immediately afterwards, he felt a heavy blow on his chest, and an arc-shaped black shadow flashed in front of him. The scales on No. 7's chest suddenly fell off, leaving a small wound.

Taking a few steps back, No. 7 made cracks in the ground with every step he took before he stabilized his body. Blood overflowed from his mouth. No. 7 made a forward movement, and there was a crisp "click" sound in front of him. Then, a corpse with its head completely unsupported was smashed over.

No. 7 swung the corpse away with his hands, and thrust his tail forward from underneath the corpse, bringing out a whistling sound. A spark flashed out in the darkness, and the tail slid away as if it had been stabbed on a smooth object. At this moment, in a moment of sparks, No. 7 saw Cassia standing sideways. He immediately retracted his tail, only to find that both his speed and strength had dropped by more than half at this moment. When the pain was transmitted to his head as a danger signal, No. 7 lowered his head, his beating cross pupils trying to identify the darkness on his chest. He took a tail with sharp barbs, found the spot where the scales had been scraped off, and stabbed it into his chest.

At this time, the tail was pulled out under the gaze of No. 7. With a "chichi" sound, the extremely high pressure caused blood to spray out about ten meters away, and finally stopped with the fallen No. 7.

Turning around and walking towards the last experimental subject, Cassia grabbed his foot and pulled it out of the pit. Consciousness has not yet been restored. After all, it was a punch that Cassia struck with all his strength after suppressing his body. For ordinary surgeons, it can completely blast the skull into pieces.

Cassia hugged the experimental subject's head and twisted it hard. Amidst the crisp sound, the darkness here returned to its proper calm after a brief period of excitement.
