Steel steam and flame

"It's just hope." Cassia waved goodbye to the two people in the limo. The engine then made a slight noise, and clouds of steam condensed into cotton-white cumulonimbus clouds in early autumn, spread out on the ground, and submerged his feet. The vehicle drove onto a road covered with a layer of steam, blended into the traffic and quickly disappeared.

As they watched the two people leave, they were immediately surrounded by the sound of horns from surrounding vehicles and the sounds of pedestrians. Cassia turned around and looked at the intercontinental train station behind him, exhaling softly, "I'm alone again." Dragging his luggage, he took out the corresponding ones from a stack of ID cards and tickets in order, and the next moment it was like taking out the original ones. As if the ground had disappeared and his sense of existence was completely lost, he became one of the ordinary people rushing to catch the train. With a face that was half tired and half overworked, he slowly walked towards the ticket gate in front of the station.

After checking the tickets according to the process, Cassia's attention was focused on the inspectors next to several checkpoints. They were heavily armed personnel, wearing top-notch equipment of the city defense force, but the people inside looked like members of the army - their eyes were completely different from those of the defense force members, because the focus of observation was different.

There were also members of the defense team who cooperated within the station with a casual attitude - probably because the maintenance work in turns lasted for a long time, and the exhaustion and the same scene every day made them feel tired after being familiar with it.

But whether it is outside the station or in the corner of the waiting hall inside the station, navy blue armored vehicles with bulletproof sandbags stacked around them, and rapid-fire machine guns with 12mm caliber bullet belts with golden dots on them are all that are seen at the train station. The most powerful placebo for those who maintain order.

It will continue for a long, long time. At least in recent years, there is only the option of a complete collapse of order, but no possibility of returning to the way it was before. It has been a lot quieter recently, but the war panic has spread faster and deepened because of the quietness.

There is no extra thing to attract attention, but it gives everyone more energy to pay attention and study everything about the current situation.

Recalling the information provided by Miss Hilarelli and Delya's brief explanation in the past ten days, Cassia believed that the security company could operate stably and develop at an unexpected speed, and Cassia believed that this could be treated as a normal phenomenon. Only by experiencing or being in the current environment can you feel the importance of safety firsthand.

The security company's income over the past few months can also be used as the most obvious evidence. It is already an industry that is more profitable than selling weapons and ammunition, although it is only like this during war times.

The situation will get worse in the future, Cassia mentally evaluated what she saw now. At present, only panic is spreading. When the impact of the red star on the climate comes, in addition to the extremely bad mood that can directly affect everyone, everything caused by the weather environment and environmental changes will also come.

At that time, in addition to a few coordinating countries, many areas in the country will have the attributes of gray areas, right? It should be more terrifying than the gray area. At least the gray area still has the rules and order established by the big forces. But in many small domestic areas, firearms may show their true equal treatment of life.

The Coordinating Congress soon became the centers around which many changes would take place. Make preparations in advance. Although it cannot be said that you will be able to recover the immediate benefits later, you can gain a good advantage.

Cassia retracted her glance at this time and no longer looked at the people around her. They were all faces that they had seen enough, more hurried and tired than they had seen quietly. Both happy and sad, there are also a large number of simulation templates kept in the mind. What was even more terrifying were the corpse faces that could not speak or express any expression. He had seen many, many of them. Nothing can be collected or obtained from them.

I don't know if it is a change in the way of thinking and mentality. At this moment, Cassia only knows that the people around her have a tendency to be classified as objects by her subconscious. He didn't try to stop this trend, nor did he think about why this change happened. He just felt that he probably wouldn't think about it anymore now and in the future, because it didn't suit him.

"Mr. Sotuari, please keep your ID badge and ticket." The security officer spoke at this time, his voice not very energetic. Cassia calmed down her fluctuating mood and responded with a grateful smile. After taking it, she went to the waiting hall and found a seat near the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.

Only then did he remember to take out the stack of ID badges and tickets and confirm them one by one.

"Sotuari, Soatuari, Solitua,,,"

"Alas..." Cassia sighed, thinking that this was Hilary's bad taste, the kind that was extremely unnoticed. Fortunately, there are many people with the same name, and no one will pay attention to this name anymore. After sighing, he leaned back on his chair. Instead of observing the passengers coming and going in front of him as before, he fell into a short rest with his eyes open.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we boarded the intercontinental train. It was certain that it was a refitted train that had been eliminated from the three major countries. It could match its "intercontinental" prefix name. When entering the station, there was a familiar vibration from Cassia. . But the huge car body covered with black iron steel plates can no longer cause any emotional fluctuations in the heart - for such strong steel products, Cassia knows that she can directly tear and destroy them with her hands, and the speed will be very fast.

Hilarelli helped to book a single room, separated it with steel plates, and added a small space with wooden boards, which made Cassia slightly forget about her bad taste on the identity card.

The intercontinental train started half an hour later, and the clear sound of the whistle failed to awaken the memory in Cassia's head. It only brought a little sense of familiarity. Such sounds will be heard frequently in the next few days. There will be more further back in time.

"I don't seem to be able to recall the memory of the small town at the foot of Lilac Peak." Finding that he could analyze his own phenomenon rationally and thoughtfully, Cassia opened his suitcase and took out a pile of weapons and equipment. There is a book in the corner, sighing silently in my heart.

At night, when it was almost midnight, Cassia turned her eyes away from the window and at the same time ended her thoughts on the next specific action. He took out his communicator and contacted Delya.

"About Kebro Gunde, a member of the successor list of the Nature Association, I need you to take me to convey an important piece of information to Mr. Hai and Mr. Zero."
