Steel steam and flame

Maybe it was a few blinks, maybe a few breaths, or maybe a few minutes had passed. At this moment, Isa had completely lost the concept of time, and her dizziness seriously affected many of her perceptions. I wanted to stand up, only to realize that my ability to sit up was a moment of willpower, and I no longer had that kind of strength after that.

The dry eyes felt like someone had been pouring dry sand into them. The dizziness turned into pain. Isa could only close her eyes and try to adjust her breathing. Sensation returns to the fingers, then to the arms, then to the body, and finally to the entire body. When I could take a deep breath, the pain in my head had almost disappeared, and the remaining pain no longer affected my perception and body functions.

When he opened his eyes again, the cold light was brighter than before. Isa wanted to stand up, only to realize that regaining consciousness was only the first step. It would probably take a few minutes to regain strength. Now I feel like I have opened my eyes and entered a semi-sleep state, and my body is still sleeping and resting under the influence of various hormones.

But soon, Isa realized that she could turn her head slightly. She slowly looked at the light source beside her, only to realize that it was still dark at the moment. The luminous object was artificial fluorite, which can emit a good light when squeezed hard.

"Nighthawk, owl..." Beside the artificial fluorite, the nighthawk and the owl were lying quietly. Their breathing was very steady, and there was no danger to their lives. The situation was roughly the same as mine. He should wake up soon. When he continued to turn his head, he saw the ground covered with dead leaves and the occasional exposed rocks lacking soil.

"I am still in the mountains." Her eyes continued to look around with her head, and Isa found that she seemed to be shrouded in a thin black mask. It was something like a huge camping tent. It was very tall and spacious, cutting off the external airflow and completely confining the light of the artificial fluorite in this small space.

But except for the nighthawk and the owl, no one else was around. Isa did not continue thinking at this moment, because she could already see other people resting against the trees. Wearing a uniform field combat uniform with a mimic function. The weapons were all held in her arms. Judging from their breathing, Isa knew that they were all in a semi-sleep state. She could feel her waking up and her eyes looking over.

But none of these people cared about this. No one had the idea to open their eyes to check the situation or explain anything.

"Is it the enemy? Or is it our own team?" Isa couldn't tell for a moment. She felt as if she didn't belong here and had no value at all in arousing the other party's interest. She continued to take a few deep breaths, and when Isa wanted to stand up, the nighthawk and owl beside her made slight movements one after another, followed by a complete reproduction of Isa's previous actions. By the time the two of them woke up, it was already three minutes later. At that time, although Isa had not fully recovered her strength, she was able to sit, move her body and turn around. It's just that she can't understand why the recovery ability that the surgeon is proud of has no effect at this moment.

When her perception was dispersed, Isa discovered that this camping tent-like thing was not just where she was, but there were no less than ten places around it. She did not have any verbal conversation with Nighthawk and the others, but basically exchanged some information with her eyes. The three of them turned around with great difficulty and looked at the people behind them who had not yet taken a rest.

Just from their temperament or their clothing, they were sure that the people in front of them were the captains of the team.

"Sir, should we thank you?" After the three made eye contact, Owl finally asked. But none of the three gave up hope, because they had just checked themselves and their surroundings, and all weapons and communication devices had been taken away.

"It shouldn't be, because except you three, everyone else has now become food for microorganisms, waiting to be corrupted." The gentle and magnetic voice said, the man in front of me was full of an unclear danger to Isa and the three of them. Feelings are not due to pure strength. In their impression, people who speak with a smile are not easy to deal with.

"About three hours, is it considered qualified? Lyle."

"The horizontal line is four hours, young master." Lyle next to him spoke, and Hai, who was sitting on a rock with him, nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with the result, "It seems that my observation is indeed good. You three are the best." Valuable people are on that team.”

After saying this, he waved his hand, and Lyle made a smooth, sharp sound from his throat. When Nighthawk and the others were thinking about what signal this was, they felt something stabbing them in the back.

"The antidote and a more soothing stimulant can help you recover your physical strength faster. Don't worry, there will be no side effects. You will still have to travel with us." Hai explained, "But just now you asked if you should be grateful. Me. Think about it again, you do have a reason to thank me. I will protect you next, this mountain range is not very suitable for your survival."

"Sir, I don't think we have what you want here." Owl interjected at the right time, "If you want to know information about other teams, we are really sorry. Because each team operates alone, and the communication The communication is completely one-sided, and we do not have the permission or ability to connect to the communication machine."

"I know." Hai replied, his voice still slow, and it was always difficult to judge and analyze anything from it. At this time, Hai picked up a small communicator and shook it, "We found three. About two hours ago, a professional communicator here explained everything to me. Of course, they are now On the way to be decrypted, I think it won't take long before I can rely on him to contact him." Hai smiled at this time and couldn't hide his joy.

"I don't really need the information from you. I just need the three of you to follow the team. Your greatest value is yourselves. Maybe you haven't discovered this, but soon, you will know the meaning of this sentence. "Hai." Hai continued and looked at the time. It was still ten minutes before two o'clock in the morning. "There is still enough time. We can talk about many topics."

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Hai could only answer the question by himself, as if talking to himself: "By the way, this is the area overseen by Mousse. I wonder if this gentleman and the two ladies have seen him in person? For you guys? It should be very dangerous." The other party remained silent.

Hai didn't care at all. He looked at Isa and asked politely: "I don't know what to call you, young lady."

Hei, who couldn't get an answer, sighed: "You can call me Hei. In fact, judging from the intertwined relationship in this strip of mountains, we are on the same side. The three of you are from a team in a small country and belong to A huge organization in a small country. The purpose of this trip is to protect and cover Mr. Cassia's safe entry into the empire. There are also people who support Mr. Cassia in the empire. Miss Ye Jielin and the Qilaandi family are the most important ones. Both parties. And I am helping Miss Ye Jielin do things."

"Mr. Hai, please forgive me for interrupting you. This is not the way to receive someone from the same camp."

"While helping Miss Ye Jielin, I also have other things to do, and these things require Mr. Cassia's help, so I have to take these actions. I apologize to you here." Hai was very sincere, "It is necessary to remind you that as long as you obey orders, I can guarantee your safety and send you safely out of here soon."

"Mr. Hai, I have been thinking, have you thought about something wrong?"

"'We don't know Mr. Cassia at all'?" Haile asked, "How about saying, 'We are just an ordinary team, we have nothing to do with Mr. Cassia, we just follow orders and enter the mountains from here'?"

"We really don't know Cassia, and it's just like what you said. We just followed the order and entered the mountains." The owl replied with a serious look on his head. But Nighthawk and Isa on the side already had a lot of doubts in their eyes.

"Ah,..., let's do this," Haixi said as if he was defeated, "Let's talk about the person in your team who is not here at the moment? I don't know what you usually call him? Tusos Sir, or...any other name?"
