Steel steam and flame

It only took half an hour for the news to spread completely enough to cause vibrations in the underground space. A large amount of noise suddenly appeared in the originally quiet space. Through the five-millimeter steel plate, the voices of discussions in other rooms could be clearly heard. Isa and others went out again not long after, and there was another meeting between the captains of each team, just like an emergency meeting.

At the same time, the person in charge of the safety area here sent several staff members to participate in the meeting between the captains, and a voice to appease the teams came from the loudspeaker in the underground space similar to a broadcast. They were all empty words of assurance, repeated for several minutes before they stopped.

The violent atmosphere has indeed eased a lot after the broadcast, but it is probably due to the fatigue of rushing here, as well as the worries among each team member, or it may also be preconceived ideas. The words of comfort from the loudspeaker only have a temporary effect. The effect cannot suppress all such doubts that have no cost at all. At best, it can only alleviate them for a short period of time. It became a matter of time before another outbreak occurred.

The captains met again for only about ten minutes. After Isa came back, she called the three captains and several team members out. At the same time, other teams were doing the same thing.

"Want to find the first person to tell this news?" Cassia had expected this situation. Although I don’t know whose idea it was, it was definitely a futile move. Cassia pays attention to her appearance when she goes out. Relying on precise control of her muscles, she cannot completely change her appearance, but hiding some features is not a problem at all. Coupled with the ability to sense light and sight, and using the dim lights in the corridors of the underground space, Cassia can make the person talking to her unable to see her face clearly.

The news showed a trapezoidal distribution in that half an hour, spreading level by level. By the end, everyone had been given the illusion of being a news spreader. Sitting quietly in the room, Cassia continued her observation, ignoring Isa and the others' search for the original source of the news.

After a large group of people worked for several hours, after careful investigation and analysis, no results were obtained. At nearly twelve o'clock, the search plan failed. The exhaustion after the tossing made each team quickly enter a state of rest.

Under the dim light in the room, Isha and Isa were squatting by the door, closing their eyes to recover their tired body and spirit. The surrounding area soon became quiet, but the smell of the air did not change much. The dilapidated air circulation system and the large number of people made the underground space very dull. This kind of environment is not a factor that can make people feel better. Cassia estimates that the next outbreak will be in the early morning and close to dawn.

Cassia, who was worried that the explosion was not enough, prepared another simple idea-just create an explosion outside the underground space. No power is required, just let the sound of the explosion reach the ears of most people, and you can achieve amazing effects.

This is not easy to achieve. Isa and Toyinbi are right at the door of the room. Even if he has a reason to go out, he will definitely arouse suspicion. Without the necessary tools in hand, the fuses of several steel-cased bombs only lasted fifteen seconds at most, and there was no way to delay them any longer.

Cassia put this idea behind and thought about other possible solutions.

Time passed like this while thinking, and the silence later turned into indescribable silence, and even some even breathing sounds could be heard in the ears. The silence seemed to go among the various teams, enveloped them, and lasted for nearly four hours.

At three-thirty in the morning, after less than three hours of rest, Isa opened her eyes and looked at her feet blankly, as if she wanted to accurately calculate how much dirt and dust were on them. Silently, Isa had a look of melancholy on her face that was difficult to resolve. She would occasionally sigh, then raise her head and look at the members in the room, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart at the moment.

This state lasted until about four o'clock in the morning. During the sound wave pulse, nearly half of the captains of the team withdrew from their rest. Half an hour later, a small number of members of each team stood up and moved around. Some even went to the exit of the underground space to take a look, but found nothing.

At close to five o'clock, after various teams went out for reconnaissance, the underground space fell into calm again. At this time, it was the person in charge of the safety area here who attracted Cassia's attention.

They have been locked up all the time. At this moment, thirteen staff members from the security area went to the warehouse here together. There was some food and water stored there, but tonight there were a lot more weapons and ammunition that the teams used as collateral because they were short of money. Slightly increasing the frequency of the sound pulses, thirteen staff members are now next to the mortgaged ammunition.

One of them took out his communicator and chatted with the people on the other side for a few words, then raised his finger and pointed at the ammunition next to him and said a few words to the other people. Cassia saw others going to the refrigerated food, taking out a kettle-sized jar from the middle, and began to spread the liquid inside on the ammunition in an orderly and even manner.

The whole process lasts less than a few minutes and is over. Thirteen staff members returned to their rest room after coming out of the warehouse, but the person in charge and several others left the rest room directly.

The captains of each team were summoned. Isa was also called away three minutes later and went to an exit. It was similar to the meeting between the captains, but this time it was more like the person in charge of the safe area conveying necessary information to Isa and the others.

It was just a meeting of less than a few minutes. Shortly after Isa and other captains returned to their respective teams, the previous voice sounded again from the broadcast in the underground space: "Dear friends of Larsa, after several hours of negotiation between us and the tribe, After contacting and confirming, it is now confirmed that the rumor that the safe area will be bombed tonight is deliberately done by someone to cause unnecessary panic. Please rest peacefully. The safe area in the Border Forest has been around for a long time and is dedicated to serving everyone. Providing protection during dangerous times has never happened and is unlikely to happen as rumored. Please rest assured that this time it is just the patrol team returning due to individual reasons, and we are currently in the process of resolving it. After that, we will continue to deal with the tribes Communication, once there is a new situation or the time when it is possible to leave the safe area is determined, everyone will be notified in time."

"Please rest peacefully, everyone."

This was roughly the content of the broadcast. Cassia observed the changes in each team and began to develop in a direction he did not expect - many people were indeed persuaded.

While thinking about what caused the team members to have stronger doubts, Cassia discovered another important situation.

Less than five minutes after the broadcast, thirteen staff members began to leave the rest area one after another and went to the ground.
