Chapter 1539 Shadow in the Flame (Part 1)

These things will not be considered by the man with a strange face in the organization. His strength cannot support him to get to that point.

Cassia ended her thinking in this regard and turned to the enemy's perspective to guess what the correspondent said. This should not be the case. It is a reasonable phenomenon for the enemy to continue to pursue the organized team.

"Have other members restrained the enemy?" Cassia's thoughts at the moment were spoken by Isha and the others. "Could it be Cassia, the real target?" These words felt misplaced in my ears, but Cassia Nothing will show. He thought about Hao. This time Hao should be on Ye Jielin's side. With him leading the team and cooperating with other personnel on Qila'andi's side, the threat posed would indeed be much higher than that on the organization's side. It is also expected that it will become the primary processing target, and a large number of personnel will be mobilized, which will result in other teams in the current organization not encountering obstacles when moving forward. It's a natural guess, and there's no doubt about it.

If the conjecture is confirmed, Cassia and the others, who don't know the exact situation, will appear passive. Although the enemy was attracted most of the attention, because the organization had not received the news and the enemy was in an abnormal state, they would definitely not act rashly. All we can do is wait for information from the investigators sent out from above.

The words of the man with a strange face did not attract anyone's attention at all. After he finished speaking, he passed without anyone discussing it. This made him want to say something else for a moment, but someone from the fifteen-man auxiliary team interrupted his thoughts.

"There are nearby building ruins left behind by the shift of the city center in the past. We can go there first and wait. It will be relatively safer than standing here." A good suggestion. In less than a minute, Cassia and the others have already Surrounded by ruins of buildings covered with lush moss, the air smelled of dampness and mold.

You can't see other people's faces in the darkness, but you can feel everyone's different aura. Heartbeat and breathing now become the standards for judging a person's mood and state. Somewhat impetuous, the infiltration plan was not detailed in the first place. Cassia and the others did not even have a detailed mountain topography map, they only knew the general terrain. The action was forced to stop not long after setting off. I always felt that the beginning was not smooth, and this unsatisfactory feeling would continue as time goes by.

We can only wait for the next communication and prompts. The intermittent contact makes waiting a bit painful. Everyone took turns to investigate the ruins of the building. This state of affairs lasted until midnight, which was close to one o'clock in the morning. It was still a simple communication. Ten minutes later, after finishing the simple communication, Cassia and the others were divided into four teams and set off again.

The traveling speed in the dark night did not meet Cassia's expectations. There was a crescent moon in the dark night sky, and the pale light did not allow them to see clearly what was under the thick weeds.

It was four o'clock in the morning when we left the radiation range of the city. There were no occasionally visible buildings around, the roads were submerged in weeds, and dark shadow-like woods appeared all around from time to time. A huge black shadow belonging to the mountains was already pressing in front of him, blocking a large area of ​​the sky. The deep black was getting closer and closer, as if it was going to swallow up everything around him.

The temperature dropped to more than ten degrees Celsius, and the cold wind that passed over the top of the mountain fell down, making people's skin tighten. In addition, what scares people is never the noise, nor the sound of explosions and gunshots, but the silence that seems to imprison people forever. The heartbeat could already ring in her ears like the chirping of insects. The closer she got to the mountains, the more Cassia could feel the rapidly increasing pressure on Isa and the others around her.

This state is not good, Cassia said in her heart. The sound wave pulse now reached the limit of six thousand meters. More than a minute later, Cassia exhaled and made sure there were no enemies around. Then she went to the owl and told her that it was best to rest for half an hour before morning came.

Also sensing that everyone was not in a good state, Owl nodded. By five o'clock, the four teams were still at a suitable distance apart, each sitting in the weeds to adjust their status. The surrounding area is already at the foot of the mountain. In another one or two kilometers, the weeds will be removed by trees.

After applying some medicine to remove her own odor, Cassia chose a suitable position to lie down, signaling to Isa and the others to do the same, which could help eliminate some negative things from the physical level. Everyone was quiet, speaking less and less, and silence became the main tone of the team.

When they planned to rest for half an hour and only the chirping of insects was left around them, everyone's breathing and heartbeat began to weaken. I don’t know how Nighthawk and the others feel at this moment, but Cassia also thinks that it will definitely not be easy. The pressure brought by the environment did start to make some people in the team feel uncomfortable.

The sound wave pulses are maintained within a radius of three kilometers, because the structure of the mountains causes unnecessary reflections of the sound waves, causing some interference. Cassia has been trying to receive sounds from other places, but she doesn’t know if there is really no collision between the enemy and the organization at this moment, or if the distance is indeed too far. The silence that has been shrouded in the night since the departure has not changed. .

Half an hour later, the four teams set off and officially entered the huge black shadow in front of them. This was a little different than Cassia expected, and the few hours of waiting broke his plans. By the time they met the enemy, the team had completely entered the mountains. Cassia no longer knew whether there was still a chance to safely evacuate.

I hope so, Cassia said in her heart. But he knew very well that the enemy would probably gather his team and completely block the entrance to the mountains, and the chances of the organization trying to get through it were slim. By then, if there is enough time, Cassia will choose to turn back and help Isha and the others evacuate. If time does not allow, they can only take Isha and the others with them, which will add unnecessary difficulty to this journey.

At the same time, in another part of the belt mountain range, the wildfire has gained ferocious momentum, and the reflected firelight illuminates the dark night sky. Thick smoke condensed in mid-air, like gathering clouds, unable to disperse for a long time on a night with only a slight breeze.

I don’t know who took the initiative to set fire to the few trees in the mountains, but I have to say that it did play a huge role. Although they could not push back the surgeons hiding under the trees, most of the traps and trigger devices they had prepared in advance would be ineffective in the spreading wildfire.

There are already several airships in the sky searching for suspicious places. The thick smoke is blown around by the huge wind of the lift device. On the navy blue shell coated with a layer of dark red flames, the light beams of dozens of searchlights are lined up in a line. Threads swept across the charred mountains behind the flames one by one, looking for something.

And in a place that is not too far away, it will take more than an hour for the spreading flames to pass through.

"It just happened that something like this happened at this time." The man's words were a little helpless. Indeed, many people had never thought that the enemy would directly set fire to the mountain. This seemingly rogue approach made many of them passive for a while. Temperature perception, one of the main sensory abilities, would lose its effect in a fire. There is a good chance that the enemy will take the opportunity to pass through their defenses, and they have to prevent this from happening.

"Use an encrypted channel to connect to Miss Mavis and inform us of the situation here. I think this belt of mountains will be on fire soon."

"Also, I will get to her later. I have to wait until the fire passes through those important positions before I can act."
