Steel steam and flame

It's a little thinner than common barbed wire, translucent, and has a glass texture that will break instantly if touched lightly. Cassia's breathing became much calmer at this time. She turned her head and looked at the control panel of the constant temperature room. The temperature and humidity were maintained at stable values. I didn't feel it just now, but after seeing this keen mechanical touch net, Cassia's movements became more careful.

A job that requires extremely strong physical strength and patience. Cassia did not have a good calculation of the surface area of ​​the cargo box of a medium-sized truck. It only took about ten minutes to eliminate an area less than the size of a baby's hand, and the consumption of oneself could be fully felt. Such intensity of work made Cassia take a few steps back and let out a breath.

Try your best and hope that all the alloy on the surface can be removed within the planned month. After adjusting her mood, Cassia quickly cleared away the extra thoughts in her head and devoted herself to the work in front of her. Fortunately, the two layers of alloy sandwiching this layer of mechanical touch screen are not completely fused together. There are some weld marks in the middle that can be called defects. This is probably a measure taken out of fear that the high temperature will partially damage the touch screen. The weld marks made the removal work much easier, but even so, when Cassia, who had not rested all day since the morning, stopped the removal work at 12 o'clock in the evening, the results were not very happy.

Time passed quickly in this boring operation. Cassia had not left the constant temperature room in the past ten days. The only time she went out was when she went to get water and food and found that the items planned to last for a month were only When there's enough for a meal left. The physical and mental consumption far exceeded Cassia's expectations. Later, the energy consumption made Cassia unable to bear the uncomfortable hunger that spread from her whole body for a while.

And halfway through, Cassia rarely entered real sleep from a semi-sleep state during a break. A very new thing, Cassia, who thought she could no longer sleep normally, also understood that the half-sleep rest was just that her body and spirit had not reached the transitional consumption during the period when she became an operator.

In the last few days of homework, Cassia even actively felt that she did not have enough rest at certain moments. Although the control of the Holy Sword is still very delicate, perhaps after doing the same work for twenty or thirty days in a row, with proficiency and meticulousness, I found that the control of power can actually be improved.

This may also be the result of Cassia's failure to release the full power and potential of this body. The scaly state is completely different from the normal state. Although there is a time limit, only this body has the corresponding foundation to enter and maintain the scaly state. Cassia understands this, but many restrictions limit the upper limit of his control.

This is just like what happened in the first stage of surgery. After the results of exercise have been accumulated to a certain extent, the effects that can be achieved will suddenly decrease sharply at a certain point. In addition to entering the next stage, There seems to be no other way.

Its own capacity is no longer sufficient. At the beginning, both the old professors and the teachers in the classroom all said this.

Somewhat forgetting the time, when the last piece of alloy was removed from the tactile net, the sudden feeling of relief that came over the whole body made Cassia almost lose his footing. Leaning against the wall of the constant temperature room, I took a few deep breaths and closed my eyes. It was already more than ten hours later when I opened it.

There was still soreness in her body. Cassia stood up and moved her body. She looked at the cargo box wrapped in a translucent red net in front of her and walked towards the console with a sigh. I looked at the time on the mechanical watch that was placed there and found that the work was not completed as planned. It took more than six days, and it took one month and six days to completely remove the alloy from the surface.

While eating the little food left, Cassia turned on the communicator and took a few deep breaths before contacting Waters to ask about the mechanic.

It could be heard from Waters's words that there were some problems with this matter. While eating the food, Cassia left the constant temperature room and walked outside the mine. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the abundant light did not bring matching warmth. The small flowers blooming from the patches of wild grass that I saw when I came here are now only a few scattered ones, and yellowing leaves also appear on the leaves.

Both the temperature and the plants showed that autumn would be short-lived in the Chil Kingdom. Winter would come quickly after a few light rains for several days. But it was much better than the small town I lived in before, where there were only summer and winter. Spring and autumn existed entirely in the form of rain, and there was no obvious feeling at all.

"Winter is coming soon." She sighed in her heart. There are only less than two or three months, that is, a year, Cassia thought. At this time, Waters, who had organized his words, also began to explain the situation on his side.

"There is still only one mechanic who meets the requirements. It should be the reason why the three giant countries and various medium and large forces began to recruit mechanics in the dark world a year or two ago. So far, there are still Those who can stay and work alone are either technically looked down upon by these forces, or they have a powerful team. So in the end, there are only a few that meet the requirements, but only those who can really get in touch with them. But there is only one."

"If it hasn't been negotiated yet, he should have offered conditions other than money, right?" As you can imagine the reason for this situation, Cassia already knew some about the above situation when he was still in Manoma.

"The other party has always said that he would give his price only after seeing what really needs to be dealt with, so in terms of price, we unilaterally gave a more ideal amount. However, more than half a month ago, he suddenly contacted me and said If we really want to cooperate in the future, we have to agree to another condition. After that, I entrusted several bounty hunters to investigate on my behalf, and based on the analysis of the results obtained, I made some preliminary judgments."

"Let's talk about the level of trouble first." If it's acceptable, Cassia doesn't want to waste time on negotiations.

"There will probably be some minor trouble." Waters replied after thinking. "As expected, this mechanic is a person who escaped from the Far Sea Commonwealth, similar to the people on the blacklist in the dark world of the empire. As for what he did Things are still unclear.”

"Give me his contact information, and I will inquire and judge in person." After pondering for a while, Cassia looked at the mine beside him and finally spoke. After thinking about it, I realized that what I was currently lacking was indeed time, but as for trouble, I had never lacked it from the beginning.

"Winifer, the leader, the name the mechanic calls himself."

,,,,,,

He raised his head and looked through the silhouettes of buildings. More than two thousand meters away, he could see a gray-black mushroom cloud slowly expanding, rising quietly into the sky under the erosion of the wind. A small explosion, except for the distorted sound, the impact of the explosion cannot be transmitted here.

With a panicked gasp, the man turned his head and tore open his bloody clothes. As he walked forward, he took out a new set of gloves from his backpack and put them on. The dark black quickly turned to gray under the sunlight. He took out a small map and looked at it. After confirming the target, he looked in that direction.

After a few steps, the man took out the vibrating communicator: ",,,"

Both sides were silent for a few seconds before the other person spoke first: "In the dark world, because of your deal between Mr. Waters and Mr. Winifer, I contacted you specifically to discuss the specific terms."

"It's me." The man thought for a moment to confirm who Waters was in the other person's mouth and said, "Are you the boss behind him?"
