Steel steam and flame

As soon as he got up, he felt dizzy in his head. Where did Moninina get so many secondary main gun warheads of the battleship-class airship? Constance didn't have the energy to think. The induction force field blocked all the flying shrapnel, but the shock wave, heat wave, and the power of the shrapnel could not be completely defended, and a large part was transmitted to the body afterwards. There is no defensive type of surgical development project, but relying on physical resistance makes Constance uncomfortable.

The coldness of the heavy rain and strong wind finally made Constance wake up. His clothes turned into strips of cloth, and the deep red bruises on his skin were slightly relieved by his self-healing ability, but it was still not enough. The internal organs and tissues of the body felt very uncomfortable. Almost every time Constance walked a hundred meters, he had to slow down to relieve the burden of walking. The blood he vomited out afterward was swallowed by him. It was no longer the blood of ordinary people. To a certain extent, after the fourth stage, the assimilation and fusion were mostly completed. The changes brought about by evolution allowed these surgeons to move beyond the physical form. Just like outside humans, there has long been an impossible gap between them and ordinary people.

As early as hundreds of years ago, some scientific research institutions have conducted experiments on this. A very simple experiment proved that after the fourth stage, the operator has completely separated from the human category. Reproductive isolation is produced, and even if the process is not different from the established process between ordinary human men and women, it can no longer produce new life forms. The conclusion reached is that even if the physical body is separated, the operator is still a human being, but the key transformation has not been completed mentally.

It was a very controversial experiment because it raised many questions later. To define a person, it should be based on the body or the spirit. But no matter how you look at it, this body is just a tool used purely for reproduction, but it was later accepted by many people.

The swallowed blood was quickly converted into self-healing nutrients by Constance's digestive system, and the pace gradually accelerated. At this moment, I didn't forget to look behind me. The still and still smoke cloud of the explosive mushroom was dissipating at a very fast speed. The holes created by the explosion in the high-altitude clouds have been filled. Heavy rain and strong winds have eroded it, and it may only take ten minutes for the mushroom cloud to dissipate.

After nearly three thousand meters away, Constance looked around and found a slightly raised dirt patch. He walked over and sat down, leaning on it and letting the rain wash over his body. Self-healing caused the energy in the body to be consumed rapidly, and some of it was dissipated as heat. His body temperature was very high at the moment, close to 80 degrees. I can't say it's uncomfortable, but it definitely feels stuffy.

"I have to study hard this time when I go back to have the ability to develop refined surgical projects. I heard that not only can I control the various energy substances stored in myself, but also my strength, breathing and other things, I can achieve precise control." When he raised his eyes, the rainwater rushing down the slope hit Constance's head, forming a small splash that covered his upper body.

He was going to rest like this for a few hours before moving his body. As for the task, Constance had no illusions about completing it before tomorrow morning. Moninina was well prepared, and she correctly guessed what the higher-ups meant, knowing that such a day would come. Even if the final explosion would not distinguish between herself and the enemy, Moninina would definitely win this time. At least she would gain a long period of time as a buffer for herself and clarify the upper management's true attitude towards this escort.

Time passed at an established and unchanging speed. It might have been a few hours later. Constance, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly sat upright, raised his right hand, grabbed the broad-edged long sword, inserted it on the ground, and submerged it. Most of it goes in.

He wanted to stand up, but his thoughts quickly thought of many possibilities, and in the end he kept his original posture. Looking ahead and to his left, there was nothing but black. The night was very dense and moist. The huge shadow of the mushroom cloud had long since disappeared. Apart from the blurry rain curtain in the distance, all Constance could see was the darkness flowing with the wind.

"Friend, come out, you can't do anything standing there." With a sigh, Constance said these words with strength, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the left front. The person in the rain curtain slowly walked out after feeling the sight, and stood fifty or sixty meters away from Constance.

“I don’t know which tribe you are from, my friend?”

Receiving no response, Constance fell silent. After a while, the weather became unbearable. Several bolts of lightning fell one after another, and rumbles of thunder rolled across the place.

"There is a high probability that we are on the same side, friend." Constance couldn't bear the silence, and finally spoke, "You are from the Thunder Wolf tribe, right, friend?"

Thinking that he still couldn't get a response, Constance was thinking about how to determine the identity of the other party when a hoarse voice came into his ears, "A few hours ago, it must have been intentional. Several investigators were arrested. Stay here. Someone wanted to tell me the news. Something big seems to have happened here. I thought it was only a hundred kilometers away, so I came over to take a look."

As if it was something fun, the other party's voice changed its tone obviously, "It's a big pothole. You can imagine how brilliant the scene will be when it explodes. It would be great if I were there at the time."

Constance didn't understand the other person's words.

"Those investigators brought a series of radio composite frequencies of communicators, and I tried to contact them. Well..., how to say, it was very rewarding and helpful. Really, although I don't understand it very well, but I've been here for almost an hour and a half." The pause sounded like a man looking at a mechanical watch in the rain. "I've been walking around for a long time, and I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought about leaving, but I still found you. .”

"Friend, I don't quite understand what you said." The voice of the words had become indifferent. Constance gripped the broad-bladed sword and exhaled all the hot air in his lungs.

"They made a deal with me over there," the man said. "Isn't that difficult to understand?"

"Do you believe what the madman says?" Constance said mockingly, "And we are probably on the same side, my friend. I'm helping you!"

"'Very likely' isn't quite right, right? It's fifty percent. Maybe it's even smaller, because I'm not sure how many tribes know the news." There was laughter from the other side, "It depends on luck. What should you do if I am not from the Thunder Wolf Tribe?"
