Steel steam and flame

There was not much time left for the remaining three to react. Their only action was just one person's roar, half of which escaped from his throat. It would not have the slightest impact. Cassia was sure that all thirteen people were dead. After searching out the dozens of bank cards and putting them into several pockets on his body, he immediately turned around and returned to the underground space. It doesn't matter now whether they are personnel sent by an unknown enemy or the original person in charge of the local security area.

Because the communication with the enemy has been unilaterally disconnected, this situation will almost always be judged as an accident. Cassia also knew that the news that the underground space he spread would be bombed probably went to the enemy along with other information. With the deaths of these thirteen people, the enemy will also know that the plan for the safe area has been discovered by the people here.

Cassia couldn't figure out what kind of countermeasures the enemy would take. He was still having a headache on how to get the people in the underground space to come out.

Carefully entering the underground space again, looking at the staff lounge next to the corridor, Cassia determined the time at the moment, and took a few steps to the warehouse connected to the lounge. Cassia came out of it half a minute later and went to the nearest bathroom. After walking around in it for just a few seconds, the sound of the explosion quickly spread in a confined space like the underground space.

There was no outlet for the huge sound, and the five-millimeter steel plate used as the wall had no sound insulation or interception effect. The roaring explosions echoed in the underground space one after another, becoming a gradually weakening cycle, gradually adding considerable pressure to the originally dull and hot air.

Sound Pulse observed the teams in each room. When a large group of people gathered in the corridor and began to rush to the source of the sound, Cassia found the right opportunity to join them and returned to the resting area as if being pushed passively by the flow of people.

As expected, there was only smoke produced by the explosion and no fire. Because only a dozen steel-cased bombs were put into the corroded ammunition pile, the gunpowder that could be ignited was very limited. The explosion mainly depends on the bomb itself.

The captains of several teams stood up at all times and began to maintain order here, and let the extra people return to their respective teams first. It's just that the sound of the explosion brought back many people's memories, just like a foreshadowing. Without Cassia reminding the crowd, someone connected it to the information spread at night.

"Why didn't you see the staff?" The reverberations of the explosion had not completely faded away and were replaced by noisy human voices. Only then did someone turn on a strong flashlight to shine on the rest area, and someone also asked the crowd if there were any staff in the safe area.

Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she hoped, Cassia turned to pay attention to the captains of the teams who were coming, and also paid attention to the route that Isa took, chose a corridor where she could meet her, and returned to the middle of the team.

"Five fifteen." Cassia sat down in the corner and looked at the time. He estimated that it would not take long between Isa and the others seeing the pile of corroded ammunition in the warehouse, and after the discussion, when they discovered the bodies of the staff outside the safe area.

Waiting in the room, a few minutes later, the strong light flashlight that was not broken in the sound wave pulse guided Isa and the others to quickly find the thirteen corpses. It was almost half past five, less than forty minutes before dawn. But above the forest, due to the presence of moonlight, the view will never be affected. In Cassia's consideration, the only thing that limits the enemy at this moment is the intensity of light in the forest.

On the other side, dozens of captains stood in a circle around the corpse, and the beams of bright flashlights in their hands made the space dazzlingly white. The light everywhere prevented any shadows on the corpse, including the bullet hole the size of an index finger on the back of the head, and the necks of the other three people who were directly crushed into pieces. The blood has not yet coagulated, and even in the early morning it is still emitting a little white air.

Among the corpses, the white light also illuminated several footprints deeply sunk in the ground, turning them white and losing their original color. Each kick makes the surrounding soil dent slightly. The ground here cannot be said to be soft. Most people standing here can make deep footprints by their own strength, but they cannot directly kick the ground. Step out of the pit.

"Those bank cards were not on them, they were taken away." Someone said and began to summarize the information they knew so far. "The blood is warm, and the time of death is within a few minutes. The people who killed them were very accurate with their marksmanship. He is good at hiding himself. Although there are only three third-stage people among the thirteen people, judging from the position of the corpses, he killed ten people with pistols at a very close distance and then dealt with the rest. The positions of the corpses are almost The formation they were in while marching was still preserved, which shows that they had no time to react.”

"All the ammunition in the warehouse has been corroded, and they are clearly dressed to leave." One captain spoke after another, "Is it because the patrol team's affairs cannot be resolved this time, so they choose to leave quietly by themselves? But why? Destroy those munitions?”

"Perhaps they are part of the inspection team?"

"I feel that the information that was spread during the night that this place was going to be bombed was at the forefront of my mind."

"It was indeed almost dawn, and there was an explosion in the rest area. Everyone went to the warehouse to see that the acid would not cause an explosion, nor could it detonate the gunpowder left behind."

"Looking at it this way, someone deliberately caused the explosion. So what was the purpose? Is it just to coincide with the bombing on the news? The explosion was used to remind us of the bombing."

"In this case, wouldn't it be better to just stand up and tell all the information you know? If the information is really accurate, we won't believe it." After saying this, everyone present looked around, as if they wanted to learn from it. Find the people who are leading these things.

"I don't think we can discuss anything. The other party is obviously much more cautious than us. And our focus should not be on these corpses, nor on who did these things. But what does the other party want to tell us?"

"Bombing at dawn."

"Yes, I think we should think about this carefully. I think since the staff in the safe area are dead, there shouldn't be much difference whether we stay in the underground space or on the ground, right?"

"The seventeenth place." The man wearing goggles looked at the dead leaves under his feet without any surprises. The strong light outlined the remaining vein patterns of the leaves. Then the man raised his face full of doubts and looked at He asked in the direction of the safe area ahead, "Is it there?"

While he was talking to himself, the person next to the man squatted down and carefully used tweezers to clean the dead leaves one by one with his hands wearing a pair of thick gloves. Soon the dark, wet land appeared in the light. In the center where the light gathers, there is a small pit that looks like a resting hole dug by insects. It is as thick as a thumb and less than four or five centimeters deep.

Then the tweezers turned into small shovels, and the skillful movements showed that this kind of work had been carried out many times. Several people next to the man dug out a semicircular spherical clod of soil with a small pit as the center, with a radius of nearly 20 centimeters. They then put it into the prepared container and added a large amount of green reagent to treat it. Soaking.

"Lord Yas, the cleanup work has been completed."

"Thank you for your hard work." The man named Yas said, "You will evacuate directly from the forest with the extracted samples later, and go to the tribe to give them to my adjutant. She knows how to deal with these things."

"In this case, the wolves can pass through these areas smoothly without leaving a gap in the encirclement for the enemy to escape." Yas began to walk back and took out the communicator, "But who could it be? Could it be related to someone Among those people are the people who are close to the dragon knight?"
