Steel steam and flame

Sparks splashed onto the cotton-like leaf fragments. Cassia blew gently, and a plume of gray smoke came out. After one or two breaths, sparks were seen. A large handful of leaves were randomly grabbed from the side, and the sparks turned into flames, burning with crackling sounds.

Cassia brought more leaves, and some fallen dead branches were also put on top. The dry environment became the best combustion accelerant. The rising flames brought out rising hot air, and the leaves above began to sway slightly. After that, it was just a process of constantly adding branches. When the resin flowing out of a tree was ignited, Cassia clapped her hands and went to the edge of the exposed rock in the distance to watch what the incoming small airship would do.

The smoke has risen, and it is extremely eye-catching under the clear and cloudless sky. Under the entire blue sky, only the smoke is completely different from other things at this moment. Sitting on the rock, Cassia pulled out the revolver and waited quietly for the approach of the small airship.

Stopping is the result that Cassia most hopes to see. After the initial collision, he is confident that he can control the intensity so that the other party will not over-guess his own strength and find an opportunity to calm down and talk with the other party. If she turns a blind eye to the smoke and goes straight to the encirclement, Cassia can only find another way to find Isa and the others, and continue to go deeper into the mountains through another route.

Suddenly, Cassia seemed to understand the feelings of Trivikan and Adolf along the way. The helpless and bitter faces were not pretending, but the true emotions deep in their hearts. The two of them had someone like themselves by their side, and the situation was no different from how they were now with Isa and the others. Most of your thoughts are destined to be on them.

The small airship has entered the spherical range of the sound wave pulse. Cassia directly turned on the low sound wave, and invisible ripples swayed over. At this time, Cassia leaned into the woods. Cassia did not want the enemy to see her at a glance when observing the smoke. Slowly walking through the trees, after a few breaths, the airship narrowed the distance between the two to two thousand meters.

"Entered the ultimate range." Muttering to himself, Cassia did not hide her gaze at all. Under the guidance of the sound wave pulse, she stared straight at the oval shell of the airship that was more than fifty meters tall.

At the same time, on the airship, Mousse stood by the round window, looking at the area below where the smoke was rising with a smile.

After standing there for some time, the people in the control room immediately reported it to him after noticing the rising smoke. At that time, he was still discussing with several adjutants how to deal with some situations that would be encountered in the future.

In addition to being surprised, Mousse was also increasingly curious. He never thought that the enemy would do this, and he couldn't figure out the opponent's purpose for a while, which made Mousse hesitate in his decision. This is one of the disadvantages brought about by age. Gradually losing the spirituality of youth, unconsciously and naturally, one will take the initiative to think a lot. Doing things begins to follow certain rules and procedures, and abnormality becomes your own enemy. It is right to say that caution and cautiousness are praises, but it can also be said that you have experienced too many things and have subconscious resistance to some things in your heart.

Mousse is not the only one who has always had this thought - it would be great if he was not so smart and his head would not rotate so fast. It has gradually become a machine that only rationally finds the optimal solution among various choices. Many people in the crowd that Mous lives in will laugh at themselves like this.

This is not the most intuitive portrayal of a group like them. Their age does not give them any advantages. The family cannot find any future potential in them that they can use to divert resources. Relying on irregular randomness, it is indeed impossible to attract people. "invest".

The small airship slowed down, descended, and slowly approached the faint rising smoke. On the outer shell of the airship, behind each circular window are several pairs of eyes, observing all directions from various angles. The temperature perception overlapped several layers and fell in the woods below.

"The other party will not be unable to hear the sound of the airship's lifting device, so the smoke must have been deliberately shown to us after the enemy saw us. It is to attract our attention and let us know that someone is waiting below." When Mousse said nothing, the lieutenants began to analyze the information.

"When time and distance are combined and calculated, the probability that the enemy below is the people in the encirclement is infinitely close to zero. No. 6, let's call him that, he is the person with extremely accurate marksmanship."

"The temperature sensor shows that there is no one below except the flames. Many people in that team do not have the surgical ability to control their own temperature, so after excluding the option of hiding in other places, the actual number of people below is greater than or equal to one, but it is not There will be more than five people...”

"Why do I have a feeling that the other party wants to talk to us?" The reasons for having female members in many teams are mostly the same. Gender differences also apply to surgeons, and due to the assimilation and fusion of dragon tissues, These differences are even greater. The way of thinking is somewhat different from that of men. Many choices and decisions usually require women to make some corrections in the end. “Think of what happened at the encirclement as proof of a bargaining chip—if I can annihilate two teams, I can also annihilate them.” Other teams. Even if we pass, they can still reach a quantitative exchange with us in the final collision."

"But the other party also knows that this thing is meaningless, because we have been thinking about why the other party entered the market so early. If we look at a correct process, they appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Now you want to take the initiative to negotiate with us and make an artificial correction?" The adjutant who asked the question was looking for the most suitable explanation, but a violent aura erupted from Mousse's body. He turned around, and his bright red cross pupils made all the lieutenants shut their mouths consciously.

"Get ready, let's go down. We can't stay on the airship any longer." Mousse went to the locker in the room and took out the long sword hanging there, twisted his neck and said, "The other party wants to negotiate with us. But it's not as low-profile as you think. You have to go down, otherwise in a short time, about five to eight minutes, except for a few of us, everyone else on the airship will probably die." Mousse noticed. An essential element.

Mousse, who walked to the door, turned his head and looked at the people behind him: "The enemy gave us the signal a long time ago, and only then did we realize that it was our dereliction of duty. Feel the surroundings carefully and with your heart, and you will find that there is something extra. There must be Be mentally prepared, the prey waiting below is the same as us, don't die below." He said, tapping his temple, "Hearing is very important, the other party's main ability is definitely related to sound waves. You must be cautious, This invisible thing can reach fatal doses at any time!"

"Sir, are we going down to have sex?" Only after Mousse disappeared outside the door did the adjutant ask.

"Of course it's a negotiation, but the two teams in the encirclement are not enough for me. What you can do, in my opinion, cannot be used as a bargaining chip." When the voice came, the airship had already begun to slow down, and its altitude further increased. decline. The adjutant saw the woods below getting closer and closer to him, then looked at each other and walked out of the room.

The captains of other team members came to the corridor at this time, but were called back by Mousse. If they go down, they will only give the enemy an opportunity to kill them, and they will have no other effect. Without a lot of preparation, the belly of the hovering airship unfolded, and the cylindrical connected protective plates fell first to form a cylindrical protective circle. Under attack from the enemy.

Only fifty or sixty meters above the ground, Mousse grabbed the rope and slid down. The adjutants followed one by one with a distance of two or three meters. When all the adjutants got to the rope, there was a sudden loud crash and clanking sound on the surrounding protective panels.

It was six sounds, and the intervals between them were too small, causing them to stack up like an explosion. A dent had appeared on the bulletproof shield, and the last adjutant immediately reported the situation. At the same time, their somewhat relaxed mood just now completely dissipated. Just like what Mousse said, if there is a little negligence, some of them will die down there.

Just when someone among the adjutants confirmed that the enemy below must have No. 6 with accurate marksmanship, an explosion-like sound sounded again. The sound came from the same location. The last adjutant looked over and saw that the bulletproof shield was swinging violently. The bulge suddenly exploded under the continuous fixed-point bombardment of several bullets, revealing a hole the size of a fist. Subsequent bullets continued to drill through the holes and grazed the rope they were sliding down.

"The rope is about to break! Be careful!" Perhaps it was the sound of "chi", and the feeling of suspension came to the nine people. The last few adjutants immediately took off the ropes and spread their legs to support themselves on the cylindrical bulletproof shield less than two meters in diameter. The bullets came next, and they were still at precise points, hitting the last adjutant's foot support position. The force was transmitted through the bulletproof plate, and although it could not cause substantial damage, the accuracy and position judgment made the adjutant feel the pressure.

Several people immediately dropped down the remaining thirty meters to fight against Mousse. The formation was now unfolding, and the sound of gunshots seemed to linger in the woods. Nine eyes were superimposed on the arc in front, and they saw the spreading fire and a wider area of ​​smoke spreading in the woods.

"The perception is extremely sharp. I don't know how the enemy judged my foothold." The last adjutant whispered, "Is it really a sound? An echo? Is the hearing too sharp?"

"That's a sound wave." Mous looked at the fallen rope on the ground, then raised his hand and pointed forward, "The enemy is right there, about 600 meters away. He is looking at us. Of course, we are now Every move is in his eyes, including the action I pointed at him." He said with great interest, "One of the top surgical development projects in the sensory category. I heard that there are follow-up improvement methods after advanced surgery. However, It's extremely difficult just now. After you go back, you can go to the family's database to find relevant information. If you encounter this kind of enemy in the future, at least you won't die in confusion."

"Another kind of temperature perception, can you see it this way?" an adjutant asked carefully. They were alert to the surroundings, but they didn't notice anything. They were all listening to what Mousse said.

Mousse shook his head: "No." He had no intention of continuing to explain, "The enemy's attack has just started. This is where the sound waves are difficult to detect and deal with. If it weren't for this kind of surgical development project in the past missions, Despite the painful memories, I won’t feel these things today. It seems that the other party still gave us basic respect, and at least sent out a signal, waiting for our judgment."

Turning the long sword made of navy blue material on his wrist, Mousse walked towards him, "You guys stay here. The opponent's perception range should be more than 1,500 meters, and the encirclement is not very effective for him. I'll go and see for myself. That’s it, it’s a big loss to me if one of you dies.”

Six hundred meters was not very far, and it was only when Mousse narrowed the distance to within 100 meters that Cassia gave a signal to stop. This distance is enough for Mousse's perception to envelope him, Cassia thought on the other side. He was relieved that the other party came alone. It's not that the number of enemies has decreased, but this action often means that the other party is coming to talk to you, or has the idea of ​​​​talking, so the chance is very high.

Will continue to make up tomorrow
