Steel steam and flame

Manoma's map has been stored in his head for a long time, something he had done in military school. After looking at the direction, Cassia estimated that the distance was less than a few thousand meters, so she sped up her pace slightly, and it still took her slightly faster than normal to arrive.

In front of the templated villa and around it are small gardens that have been recently taken care of, with many evergreen plants planted there. But there are no flowers, so there is no floral fragrance. Turning the luggage lock-like gear at the door, and following the eight-digit password Delya said in the communication, Cassia opened the door with a mechanical lock embedded in an alloy plate, while listening to the sound of the air circulation system that automatically started. While putting down the luggage next to the large living room.

Everything is fully equipped, but there are also a few extra things in the living room. Four large black suitcases, as well as a stack of printed paper that Delya asked Ovelia to prepare.

Naturally, the suitcase contained various carefully prepared weapons. In addition to the common types of large-caliber revolvers and pneumatic swords, this time there were also customized field combat mimic clothing and half a box of compressed food. It is harder than Webley's "steel plate", and the product introduction says it is the meat of selected second-category creatures. On the paper, aside from the words of greeting, it generally contained important information about the small country during Cassia's return to the Empire of Manoma, as well as the situation in factories and taverns.

It cannot be said that everything is developing in a good direction, at least there are no thorny problems encountered.

After resting in the villa for about two hours, Cassia picked up the necessary weapons, left here, and took advantage of the dim light of the evening to walk towards the Blanco Mountains.

After arriving in Manoma, before returning to his family, Hai reminded Cassia that many of the surrounding eyes, including his own, needed to be cleaned again to meet basic requirements. A few months ago, although there was a similar operation due to the transfer of blood, as the major forces with no shortage of surgeons, the dispatchers have been monitoring the operation. Even if there will be losses, compared with the possible benefits, the two There is absolutely no equivalence between them.

In addition, Cassia never wanted to involve Shako in danger, and that shouldn't be something she had to bear. It would be a better choice to wait until Haikou finished cleaning up.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road, and the temperature continues to drop as the road gradually rises. As the cold wind intensified, the street lampposts on both sides gradually began to be covered with a thin layer of ice. The winding mountain road continued forward and was soon swallowed up by the night. Unconsciously, I discovered that snowflakes were falling, there was no pedestrian around, and even insects and other tenacious little creatures had disappeared during the mental perception detection.

As the road continued forward, students from the military school began to appear, all wearing cool summer clothes, but their faces did not look like they were enjoying the "cool" autumn breeze.

"After the expansion of enrollment, it seems that a slight decrease in quality is expected. But even if it decreases, those who can graduate alive will be graduates that various forces and institutions compete for in the future. Students who graduate from military schools, regardless of At any time, the quality of being a killing machine can be guaranteed in the future." Cassia, who was hiding in the dark, looked at these students and couldn't help but comment.

"Blowing more cool wind is good for your health." They are all first-level students, and it is impossible to find Cassia walking in the shadows like a walk. "Although this cool wind stays at minus ten degrees all year round. Degree or so."

Bypassing these freshmen who were "exercising" outside, Cassia's mood improved unconsciously. I definitely didn't see my old self in them - my former self was one who carried half a ton of building materials while exercising his physical fitness and endurance in an environment even colder than this. To such an extent,,,

It wasn't even considered exercise. Only then did Cassia realize that maybe she had become unusual in some aspects since becoming a surgeon. It's just that I focused on my weak points at that time, so I didn't discover the special features of my physique until very late.

But this was a few years ago, and after thinking about it, Cassia immediately put it aside.

Following the route in his memory, Cassia started climbing up from the foot of the Blanco Mountains. He had experience, and now he was nearly several times faster than his previous self. Halfway through, you can feel the cold becoming extremely intense, mixed with ice particles that are beginning to take shape. Halfway up the mountain, snow clouds surrounded us, completely blocking our view. But compared to the past when you could only climb up by touching the surrounding rocks little by little, now both the highly anti-interference high-frequency sound wave pulses and mental perception provide exceptional convenience.

There was only the sound of the wind in my ears. As I walked through the mountainside of the Blanco Mountains, when the rocks began to be covered with ice, a buzzing sound that was superimposed on each other came from the mountain. As it gradually became louder, the sound was stuck. Xia suddenly felt tired. At this moment, she stopped climbing and took a few breaths before returning to normal breathing.

"When I was in the military school, I didn't notice this kind of thing at all." The clouds surrounding him have become thinner, and now he can vaguely see things more than a hundred meters away with the help of low-light vision. She chose to find a nearby rock that was not so steep and sat down. After taking a deep breath, Cassia, who let go of her perception, could very clearly feel the invisible things around her.

It can be called a three-dimensional network that even the air cannot escape. From far to near, tens of thousands of fulcrums are almost all over the entire continuous Blanco Mountains. Working together, the military school within it is completely shrouded.

During perception, Cassia simulated it into a mist-like appearance, emitting radioactivity from tens of thousands of nodes, and lost power and disappeared until far away. The intertwined three-dimensional network seems to be able to penetrate anything very easily, including the operator's body. But it’s not clear whether it’s his own particularity or whether it’s the same for all surgeons with energy optical flow nets – the skin serves as a boundary line, and the inner energy optical flow net becomes more active because of this three-dimensional net, just like instinct. Reactions, naturally set in motion, offer a small degree of resistance.

Cassia immediately tried to artificially suppress the operation of the energy light flow network, and found that her skin, flesh and blood, bones and organs, etc., had weak resistance in themselves. Without will control, they naturally resisted this invisible three-dimensional body. The network penetrates the body.

"Don't do this, you should actively adapt. Or, strengthen the operating power of your own energy light flow network, and completely resist the outside." A spirited voice sounded in the ears, ignoring the interference of the cold wind, clearly The ground passed into Cassia's ears, "The inductive device, this is the most basic layer of protection device in the military school. According to the principle, it also affects ordinary people, but it can be ignored. Only transitional and high-level surgeons Only then can you start to feel it.”

"By the way, in addition to military schools, seminaries, important locations of the four forces, etc., these things are all over the place." The energetic voice continued, "Actually, there is also the headquarters of the Holy Emperor's Hall, but you also know that this thing is in It has no effect in front of the ultimate power. Because as long as it can have a slight influence, it will not be split in half by a sword."

Cassia followed the sound and found that on another raised rock less than ten meters away, an old man also wearing casual summer clothes was sitting there, looking at her.

"Hello principal!" Cassia stood up and expressed polite greetings.

"It's indeed a bit late to meet now. We should have met a few years earlier. It's a pity, a pity."
