Steel steam and flame

The voice was a little helpless. Brod had come into sight very early and was already qualified. Today's action was just to conduct a test without getting any information and get specific data to provide reference for subsequent training. This state is probably no longer possible. Perhaps Brod thought too much and his judgment of the situation at this moment was a bit exaggerated.

After explaining the general direction, the three of them started to chase at the same time, but the gap was obviously widened from the first step. In less than a breath, the two of them were left behind. Only the person who was left behind on the building ran far ahead.

"Xiwei, what was the situation like when the boss inspected you?" Knowing clearly that he couldn't keep up with the boss's speed, among the two people left behind, the man slowed down slightly in the night to make himself more relaxed. He asked the woman named Xiwei beside him, "When I received the mission, my boss turned me into the mission target. So you should know how miserable the situation was in those three days, right? I planned to give up the mission midway, but The boss noticed it and lowered the difficulty, so I barely managed to catch some traces. However, the result after catching up was just another, worse reality."

"At that time, I always thought that I must be unlucky. When I received the task this time, the association did not go through detailed investigation and classification, so I encountered it. I was fooled by the boss for a long time. It was not so much that the boss was prey at that time. , rather it’s because he is bored and wants to watch me hunt him.”

"Those days must have been difficult." Xiwei answered with sympathy and understanding, thinking of his own roughly similar experience.

"It's no longer a question of whether it's good or not, it's all a torment for myself. Even now that I know the cause and process of the incident, I still feel terrible when I recall it. There was no known information at that time, so you can imagine how I felt. And cicada. After eating enough food, the strong cat lies down and plays with the mouse with its paws. The boss is the cat, and I am the mouse."

"I have always thought that I might die at any time, and the fear and pressure almost overwhelmed me. Now I feel that after these things, both my mood and my endurance have grown a lot." At this point, the man grew taller. He sighed, "But if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go through that experience. Really, I feel like it's going to cast a shadow on myself."

"So that's it." Xiwei said as if he understood. "Compared to the boss's special care for you, Teletek, my side is much better. Probably because of concerns about me being a girl, if the intensity is too high, it will not Let it end well.”

Tretke took a long breath at this time, "It's great to be a girl."

"It's very good, but I think it's limited to the boss." Xiwei said with a smile, "Compared to you, it doesn't give me the feeling of fear and death, but the pressure does. In other words, after some time , knowing that he was trapped in a whirlpool, and that no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape, but he just wanted to be by his side, and he could reach it as long as he stretched out his hand a little bit. In fact, the boss had very good control over that little distance. Okay. But this experience only lasted a little more than a day. The boss saw that I couldn't hold it any longer. Because I seemed to be being hunted, I ran away for a whole day, and finally gave birth to "Forget it, just wait for death to come." I thought, so I didn’t run away anymore and waited for the last battle. But what was waiting was the boss who came out and he took some time to explain to me the reason.”

"Well, this is probably the process. But if you have experienced it, you must understand how slowly time flows during this period."

Tretek nodded in agreement, "It's just that following the boss, what we face may be much more unusual than before. Surgeons like us seem to have a convergence effect. What kind of people will get together in a pile , people with different abilities will often meet together. The environment where the boss is located is the place we have always wanted to go to, but we have been educated well in advance, and we have a certain understanding in our hearts."

While talking, the two of them glanced in a certain direction and stopped running. Xiwei turned on a strong flashlight and illuminated the surrounding area. It was easy to identify the deep footprints on the ground.

"How long have we been running?" Xiwei asked.

"It's exactly ten minutes now." Tretek replied, "Keep following. If the boss wants to inspect, he will probably follow Brod all the time. I estimate that Brod can maintain this speed for about an hour. Or so. In other words, the test itself also includes us, otherwise we would not be able to detect it when the boss sends out the flare if we are too far away."

At the same time, the pursuit ahead had slowed down. Ten minutes was the limit. Brod was covered in sweat, and when adjusting himself, he did not dare to slow down at all. Even though his ears were full of the whistling wind, the person chasing him seemed to have deliberately made the movement behind him so loud that he could detect it without careful identification.

Brod clearly felt the gap between himself and the person pursuing behind him. This was certainly not a judgment based on observation. He didn't even know what the other party looked like, but his unknown vigilance was full of warnings. He had felt this way several times before, without exception, and those times were life-threatening for him.

Brod didn't understand why the opponent didn't catch up directly. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only assume that the enemy's speed was just that. Twenty minutes later, Brod finally cleared all thoughts from his head and devoted all his energy to how to run. At this time, you still have the energy to care about your physical condition, whether you can speed up, how long your physical strength can last, etc.

Half an hour later, Brod's breathing began to become a little rapid and he began to work hard to adjust his body. The blood flow rate made him feel dangerous. As a last resort, he slowed down to make his run more sustained. At this time, the city had turned into a shadow behind them, surrounded by large areas of farmland and wasteland. From time to time, gray-white roads could be seen winding out.

For forty minutes, Brod had no intention of paying much attention to anything else. Apart from himself, there was only the movement of the enemy behind him.

"The other party is probably in the same situation, and he can get rid of it completely if he persists for a while." This became Broad's only thought, like a belief. Because the speed at this moment has been slowed down twice, the enemy still has not caught up, which seems to mean something.

For fifty minutes, Broad was unable to think about anything. All he knew now was how to drive his legs forward. Breathing has become disordered, and breathing heavily does not seem to have a very good effect. The speed no longer matters. In Brod's mind, all he needs to do now is keep running. He has confidence in himself and can sustain running at high speed for more than an hour, which is almost difficult for anyone in a small country to do.

After an hour, Broad began to lose track of time. Both feet bear too much impact during high-speed running, and they are numb at this moment. Weakness hit him from every part of his body. He didn't know how long it took for Brod to finally be unable to move his feet forward. After decelerating for dozens of meters, he finally fell down after staggering a few times.

Fortunately, it was a nice piece of grassland, so I didn't feel any pain when I fell. Brod spent all his remaining strength on breathing. After about two minutes, his chaotic body finally cleared up some things and began to recover calmly. Only then did he have some strength to turn himself over and face the night sky.

"Ah..." Brod's still rapid breathing made every word he spoke with a long accent. He raised his head at this time and looked at the road he came from. It was calm and empty of anything. Then I looked around and saw that the surroundings were eerily quiet, not even the sound of insects.

"No... catching up..." As if he was sure, Brod looked at the night sky and said, and then took a few breaths of relief.

"It's true, the other two people didn't catch up." An inappropriate voice sounded at an inappropriate time. Before Brod could step out of the voice, two shining flares trailed up into the sky. It exploded high up, like the celebratory fireworks that exploded for Broad when he reached the finish line after a long run.
