Steel steam and flame

Deep in her heart, Delya is still praying for Cassia. Although she has never trusted gods and has no clear faith, she is still expressing her request to something empty at this moment. This is the only thing she can do right now.

The train drove towards the prosperous area along the coast of the empire, and the scenery passing outside the window gradually lost its reality in Delya's eyes. She had a premonition that when she got to the terminal, there would be news waiting for her that she didn't want to accept. But her trust in her leader did not affect her much due to this bad premonition.

"Time will prove many things and the results." Delya said to herself, then leaned on her seat and closed her eyes.

At the same time, Waters, Hessler and others were thinking about the same thing. But in addition to this, Waters is also concerned about the maintenance and establishment of a business network - what needs to be completely abandoned, as a way to cut off his too long tail, and what needs to be temporarily hidden, waiting for the situation to change before reappearing. As for Hessler, what he is worried about is how to establish the proper deterrence after the plan is launched. Before the team leader Cassia converges on the power level, it will become a hidden danger to the maintenance of each network.

As for Nighthawk, Owl and Isa, with Hai as the middleman for coordination and protection, the three of them were also on the retreating airship, waiting to land and start their return journey.

Ye Jielin woke up from the effects of a powerful sedative.

The cold light comes from the lamp on one side of the ceiling, but it is not in the center, near the door near the entrance. The pain still lingers in my head, a side effect of the powerful sedative, a reflection of the effects of deep sleep on my body and mind.

After staring at the ceiling quietly for ten seconds, the body's sensations completely returned. There is still no feeling in the left arm and lower left leg, but this is not within the scope of Ye Jielin's own thinking. There are so many feasible options that even regrowing a limb for surgical transplant would take no more than a year. The mechanical system will be faster. From finalizing the materials to determining the required functionality, to manufacturing, and finally to the combined biological and mechanical transplantation and installation, all processes can be completed in half a month.

Ye Jielin could feel the slight shaking, and combined with her excellent direction perception and observation of her surroundings, she first determined that she was on an airship.

Sitting up on this hospital bed, Ye Jielin looked around and then began to observe herself. The amputation wounds on the left arm and left leg have been treated, and the wounds have been sewn perfectly and beautifully. It feels like a sewing machine has passed by. There are also many sensing devices for monitoring machines attached to the body, and there are thin tubes inserted in each of the right arm and neck, and the machine relies on the machine to regularly press in the corresponding reagents.

She has no memory of the period from powerful sedatives to deep sleep. Ye Jielin is already trying to recall, but she only remembers the scene where Cassia injected herself with sedatives from the neck.

His eyes were looking to the side at this moment. A few meters away from the hospital bed, there was a desk-like cabinet with a revolver, bullets and a tactical knife on it. Ye Jielin knew that their owner was Cassia, and that these must be what he left for herself after she fell into a deep sleep. With an airtight sound, the door of this room was opened.

The light outside the house is much dimmer, and it can be seen that in the corner of the corridor, which is not very elegant, many places have traces of rust that has been polished and then spray-painted.

"Are you awake?" The person at the door was a woman. Although she was holding a stack of information and had short hair, she was obviously a combatant wearing a leather combat uniform. The eyes were cold, and the moment the words came out of her mouth, Ye Jielin felt the other party's unabashed gaze observing her.

The woman walked in, picked up the airship's internal communicator beside the door, and explained the situation here.

"Webley's robotic arm, mid-level specifications, adapted to a slender blade and several rounds of high-explosive bullets, it can punch large dents in the steel plates of armored vehicles." Notice the movement of the woman's left arm, although the factory number has been It was worn off, but from the simple movements and the details of the mechanical structure exposed under the bionic skin, Ye Jielin could easily figure out which product of the family this was, "But you are not from the Webley family."

"You are worthy of being the heir of the Webley family, eldest lady." The woman's words were full of praise, but more of she took it for granted. She put down the information, leaned against the cabinet where things were stored, and moved the robotic arm up, down, left, and right in front of Ye Jielin, "I spent a lot of money to get it from the black market. I originally wanted to cultivate new limbs, but it was not only expensive, but also unavailable." Any way is available."

"By the way, this arm was cut off by Cassia a few years ago." The woman sighed, "Thinking about the current situation, there is really no way to predict the future."

"Wait a moment, someone will explain the specific situation to you. They have their own things to do. After all, the process of bringing you into this airship is not very smooth. They encountered the retreating enemy ground team. No. That huge dragon guarding you will cause big problems. However, the enemy was almost wiped out by that giant dragon. When we caught the signal and rushed over, we only eliminated the last batch of stubborn resisters. ." The woman let out a long breath and signaled to Ye Jielin not to worry. She was not a person who was good at explaining the situation.

"However, the giant dragon flew away on its own after that. As for where it went, we don't know the specific location. In addition, the matter in the southern forest is over. As for the final result, there is no specific news yet. So there is no need to ask, because We don’t know either.”

There were multiple footsteps passing through the corridor. The woman picked up the information, glanced at Ye Jielin, and turned around: "The person who explained the situation is here. He should be an acquaintance of yours. By the way, you can call me Shaner." Na."

"If you have the opportunity in the future, Webley can provide you with the most top-notch robotic arm. If you want to cultivate a new arm for transplantation, there is no problem." Ye Jielin said.

"Then, thank you in advance." Shan Erna nodded, and within seconds after leaving the room, three people entered the room. Ye Jielin looked over and saw that there was only one person she knew, but it was not an acquaintance as Shan Erna said. It was more appropriate to count him as a classmate of the military school. As an acquaintance, it should be Cassia alone.

"Cara Meredith."

"I wonder if your memory of me is incidental to Cassia, or is it collected as a competitor in the early days of the military school? I think there are not many people who can remember me except Cassia." See. Ye Jielin's face had returned to normal. Kara, the middle of the three, smiled and asked, "This is probably the only thing I can do to help Cassia at the moment, Ye Jielin."

Ye Jielin finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "How could you not remember that when he ran out of the Victory Building from the party, I covered him. But in the end, it was too late for him to return to the military school and he was imprisoned directly. Entered the school prison. So I was very impressed, so I remembered you. If time went further, maybe nothing unexpected would happen that night."

Ye Jielin touched the back of her head with her right hand: "I know that the time of electrical regulation was also very recent, and there was no help at all in terms of information at that time. Therefore, there is a high chance that Cassia who goes to find you will run into Meredith. According to the 'managers' of the Si family, the actual facts probably went on like this, although the information about that period of time was later completely erased. I did not find out more."
