Steel steam and flame

Cassia parked the car and arrived near the military school. It was almost early in the morning. In late summer, you can at least see a starry sky over the Blanco Mountains. The temperature here does not change much. It remains cold all year round. From time to time, a cold wind crosses the mountains and blows down along the ridgeline.

The black shadow of the Blanco Mountains was right in front of him. Cassia, standing at the foot of the mountain, looked at the top of the mountain and looked at the starry sky above. Manoma, who had become strange to him, finally found his way back to him. Something familiar.

"It should still be the school's summer vacation at this time." The main entrance of the military school is a long metal tunnel, which is full of surveillance, and ID cards are required for entry and exit. Cassia can only choose the old method, from Blanco Start on the mountain range - the construction area has no such restrictions and is directly connected to the military school. You can enter and exit freely if you are careful. There was supervision there, but they were not powerful surgeons. Cassia, who had had the experience once, was not worried.

The construction area is like a gap deliberately left by the military school. During the time when the school is under strict control, students can leave the school from there as long as they have the ability. This information was something Cassia only learned about when he was about to leave the military school.

Starting from the foot of the mountain, Cassia used the rejection method to suppress her own aura, and her body movement function was reduced to the minimum stage. Climbing a high mountain is no longer a problem. As long as the clothes do not become brittle and break at low temperatures, the cold in the Blanco Mountains is no different from normal temperature to Cassia.

Around one o'clock in the morning, after Cassia walked through an arc along the mountainside of the Blanco Mountains, he saw the tiny lights of the Military School through the high-strength glass curtain. The construction area that still extends along the ravine is almost black. It is the end of the students' summer vacation, and even those who have returned to school early are probably resting.

At night and with snow and fog flying everywhere, Cassia relied on her ability to escape and successfully entered the construction area. There are still some students carrying building materials here to exercise their endurance. Cassia walked over and picked up a large stone slab. After walking around and putting it down, she acted like she was very tired and went to a sheltered place to stand and rest while observing her surroundings. Then she naturally walked towards the inside of the school.

The temperature has risen rapidly, and the various buildings on both sides of the road have hardly changed. The only thing that has changed is the batches of students who continue to come in and go out.

It was early in the morning, and there were indeed very few people on the trail. Cassia walked nearly two to three kilometers and saw no more than twenty students. Soon after, when the shadow of the Biological Experimental Building gradually emerged among the buildings, Cassia suddenly thought of a question. During this time, were the group of old professors still in the laboratory or had they gone to rest?

Afterwards, Cassia shrugged and stopped thinking. Now that we're here, staying here until early morning isn't a problem.

Standing in front of the biology building, Cassia looked around. There were lights on the building, but there were no people entering or exiting in front of the gate. Walking into the door from the shadow, according to memory, Cassia went to the elevator and chose to go to the underground floor. But the permissions can only go to the negative level, and permissions and identity cards are required for everything below. There was no other way. Cassia returned to the first floor and climbed up the stairs one by one, hoping to meet one of the old professors on the floors above. If there was no way in the end, she could only wait or resort to extreme measures. .

After more than ten minutes, Cassia finally chose not to wait. After confirming the identity of a researcher on the eleventh floor, Cassia borrowed his identity tag and took the researcher to the bottom of the biological experiment building.

The protective door opened, and the closed laboratory at room temperature reminded Cassia of many bad memories. The passage was still lit with cold light. Cassia, who was carrying the unconscious researcher, walked forward cautiously and launched a sound wave pulse in a small area. Until he walked through most of the passage and through the thick soundproof glass on the wall of a laboratory, Cassia saw Professor Bruce who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and resting. He was guarding a machine, seemingly waiting for the results of its calculations.

At this point, Cassia finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to knock on the door of the laboratory.

,,,,,,

At around six o'clock in the morning, a group of old professors who were woken up by Professor Bruce in the middle of the night finally took all the samples they wanted and went to different laboratories to start analyzing the samples. Only then was Cassia able to get off the operating table. She no longer suppressed the use of her self-healing ability and allowed the wounds on her body to heal quickly.

"This is one of the few rooms that is not monitored." Professor Bruce turned the air circulation system to maximum to allow the smell in the air to quickly dissipate. While sorting out various corroded surgical instruments, he talked to Cassia. The initial excitement and excitement of being woken up by Cassia was somewhat restored at this time. As the general manager of the biological laboratory building, Professor Bruce has the right to participate in various meetings of the military school. He is aware of all kinds of things that happen outside. very clear.

"It seems that your self-healing ability has been strengthened again." After discarding the surgical instruments, he observed the traces of corrosion one by one. Professor Bruce turned around and looked at Cassia's body with the wounds already scabbed, and couldn't help but admire, "In the surgical development project, It is a project about self-healing ability, but the requirements are very demanding. Fundamentally speaking, the strength of self-healing ability can represent the strength of various functions of the body."

"What happened after getting solid red mercury." Cassia put on her clothes and said.

"It will take at least more than two hours to analyze the sample data. Although there is no danger in the military school at present, you are here not only because you want to check your body and understand some data in more detail, nor because Those words that I asked Bolei to bring you, right? There is still a lot of time. Whether it is me or other professors, you are always welcome here. So if you have any needs or want to ask, you can say it as much as possible ." Professor Bruce took off his rubber gloves and said with a smile, "I happen to be very interested and want to ask you some questions."

Cassia nodded to express his heartfelt thanks. He wanted to appear happy, but what was in his head made him extremely serious. He knew that when he asked Professor Bruce these questions, the smile on Professor Bruce's face would also disappear.

"There are not many things that I can use to save the situation, so I can only do this." In Cassia's mind, these voices rang again before he spoke, "I always thought that I was a person swimming by the whirlpool, but after that You must understand that you are actually the whirlpool itself. The danger should not be the people who actively approach the whirlpool, but the whirlpool itself. Only in this way may there be a chance to find a way to deal with the current situation."

After taking a deep breath, Cassia's eyes became clear: "Professor Bruce, you should still remember the small piece of metal called uranium gold that I brought to you nearly two years ago and asked you to help identify it, right?"
