Steel steam and flame

After doing this, Cassia relaxed against the ancient tree and sorted out his equipment in his head - two tactical knives, a revolver and hundreds of bullets, a heavy sniper rifle and less than seventy fired bullets, and the rest were a few steel-cased bombs and flash bombs. Even if calculated based on one bullet per enemy, it is not a very large number. And with two tactical knives, Cassia will lose their sharpness approximately every fifty people. There were members of the team carrying weapons and spare bullets, but Cassia guessed that the creatures making those sounds must be types that are good at moving in the forest, and the number might be larger than he estimated. When they met, Isa's order to throw away most of her belongings and run away with all her strength should be a definite order.

At this time, I felt nostalgic for myself who had not yet mastered scale transformation. I took out a syringe tied to my body at that time, and the concentrated dragon blood in it could create a large area that would not be invaded by second-class creatures. . But now, Cassia is not absolutely sure about her blood, but she just thinks it has roughly the same effect.

But don't worry, there will definitely be a battle if you break through the encirclement. Taking advantage of the chaos of the situation, Cassia can find many opportunities to do many things without being discovered by Isa and the others. But it's still full of restrictions, Cassia thought.

"Adolf again..." Cassia sighed in her heart for some reason. He didn't know the information in Isa's hand at all. If he discussed with himself and made some small improvements to some data, Cassia didn't think it would appear too passive. But maybe this is a way for Adolf and the others to protect themselves?

There were still about four hours until the next morning. Cassia tried to put the claw marks on the ancient trees into the encirclement net, and found that the closest distance between the encirclement net and the team was about 160 kilometers. Then she thought again of the man Isa met that night when she arrived in Velves City.

Cassia is now certain that that was when Isa got the news. And it was the man who took the initiative to contact Isa, either through a cooperative relationship or a friendship established during the transaction, and disclosed the seller's information to Isa. The worst result is that the identity of the members of Isha and others is discovered, and the encirclement is specially prepared to deal with Isha and others. A slightly better result is that Isa and others are just one of the targets.

Cassia is more inclined to the latter. For verification, it only needs to be seen whether other teams will be encountered when the encirclement begins to shrink. These teams will not exceed a hundred people, and the forest is very large. They are like a few dead leaves fallen from ancient trees in the forest. If you want to meet someone, luck is the main reason.

Time passed slowly, and at five o'clock in the morning, the thirty-seven sound sources sounded regularly again, forming a circle that was almost the same as not long ago. The sense of distance from the sound source is reduced, which is definitely bad news. But it can also be seen as good news, because they did not choose to quickly close the encirclement at night, which means that there must be strange people from the Flame Alliance at the source of these sounds. Only those second-class creatures can eliminate the effects of darkness at night. Strangers still need light to provide sight. The proportion of surgeons with temperature awareness is not large.

When the genius was shining brightly and the forest was still blurry, Isa's voice rang in my ears. A few minutes later, the team marched towards the depths again in the same formation. Cassia visited Toyinbi more frequently on the way, and he told some information intentionally or unintentionally. Although in Cassia's view, Toyinbi regarded it as worries caused by not adapting to the mission situation, but at least he read Having written many, many books, Cassia knew just how to convey the words that would leave these impressions in Toynby's head.

It is like suggestion in hypnosis, but this method used on ordinary people is not very effective on surgeons with strong willpower and spirit. It didn't have much effect, but a few times later, Toynby began to ask Cassia why she was worried. Perhaps he thought that Cassia himself was a new adjutant dispatched from other regions by the organization, and maybe he had some special abilities.

Cassia immediately took advantage of this, intentionally or unintentionally saying that her perception was very keen. The reason why she was good at protecting and transporting goods was because she could detect danger in advance and make the best avoidance judgment.

Seeing Toyinbi's dubious look, Cassia said nothing more. Afterwards, Cassia saw Toyinbi go to find Isa and talked several times. I finally felt a little more at ease. Whether I was mentally prepared for danger or not was a completely different concept.

At this moment, I felt like an adult, and Isa and the others were just like ignorant children. Cassia suddenly felt tired. Afterwards, it seemed that what she said to Toyinbi had an effect, and Isa ordered the team to stop and rest for ten minutes. During this period, high-energy compressed food was distributed, and with the discussion of the three captains and Isa, a dozen members who acted as mobile storage depots removed the heavy weapons they were carrying, and a small number of bullets were also thrown away.

The team's reserve resources and weapons began to be redistributed. Except for a few flankers who needed to constantly move around the team, including Cassia, they all carried something on their backs to reduce the load on everyone and improve the overall strength of the team. Travel speed.

Cassia expands the extreme detection radius of the sonic pulse every few minutes and pays attention to the surrounding movements. The atmosphere in the team soon became heavy, and it was at this time that the team changed direction.

"Everyone pays attention to adapting the body to this intensity of running as soon as possible. There is only one rest period. We need to rush to the nearest safe zone before evening. Afterwards, we should consider whether to continue moving forward at the edge or to escape into the safe zone. Potential danger." Isha said in front of the team, which indeed played a role in stabilizing the mood of the team.

,,,,,,

"Hey, did you hear anything?" In the dense forest, a team of about seventy people was resting. A few hundred meters away, a member who was on guard said to another person not far away. At the same time, he leaned down, peeled away the dead leaves with his hands, and put his ear to the ground.

"No." The other person answered, holding a rapid-fire light machine gun in both hands and walking towards the speaker, "Did you hear something?"

The man stood up with doubts on his face and looked at the other person. "It's hard to describe. I feel like something is coming around me, but I can't see it. It's in this direction." As he said this, the man turned around and raised his hand to point. To his left, two black shadows burst out from more than thirty meters away, with a "swirling" sound, hitting one of their eyes respectively and sinking deeply into their heads.

The body fell down weakly, and the dead leaves acted as a buffer and did not make a sound that was enough to attract the attention of the resting team. At this moment, on the two corpses that were still shaking slightly, two small black snakes no more than the thickness of an adult's thumb came out of their eye sockets.

It was only one meter in length, with a head as sharp as a sword, and the scales on its body were extremely fine, emitting a cold light. They immediately got under the dead leaves, and after a slight noise, they poked their sharp heads out again, already a hundred meters away. Two small black snakes stuck out their scarlet tongues, as if conveying a message.

Then, all the dead leaves within a radius of dozens of meters made a subtle rubbing sound. When the sound disappeared, it was a black snake as thick as an arm that swam towards the two small snakes from a distance. The black snake raised its head and stuck out its tongue. Around it, sharp little heads poked out from under the dead leaves one after another.
