Steel steam and flame

The intensity of his perception quietly increased after the communicator vibrated automatically. In the recent period of intermittent contact, he knew which situations represented what level of danger. And the very slight vibration of the communicator, combined with the code word, is the highest level.

Defoni does not need to pretend that nothing happened, because before the contact comes, he will admit very generously that he indeed did not notice the change in the surrounding environment. In other words, even if something is happening around you, as long as you don't know it, nothing is happening.

The scattered perception was naturally divided into two parts by him. One part remained as it was without any changes in order to paralyze the enemies that had sneaked in; the second part was only maintained within a range of less than two or three meters around him. , high-frequency and high-intensity exploration of the environment you walked through——

Pollution has invaded the interior of the factory very early. Due to the large-scale inductive devices inside the factory, it does not appear to be like mold growing in the external environment.

In the inductive force field created by the inductive device, the form of pollution is similar to a layer of dust accumulated for two or three months. It is white and misty. If it is not wiped away by hand, it will be regarded as the original external color of the object.

Following Lisuman's prompts, Defoni explored the low-activity biological bacteria that he had not noticed at all, and continued to try various methods that could be used. The distance back to his office is not far, slightly more than a kilometer. It was only when a shadow of the office could be seen at the end of the corridor that the existence of low-activity biological bacteria was finally locked by him.

"It's not the one that appeared in the evening, it came from several other operators." With the judgment result, Defoni immediately checked his own condition. Probably because it didn't last long, except for the feet that were exposed to the most contamination and were already contaminated with this low-activity biological bacteria, including the inside of the body and the blood, there was no problem for the time being.

However, there was still a low-level danger warning, which came from his thinking simulation - without Li Suman's reminder, although the role of this kind of biological bacteria is not yet known, after being wrapped around the whole body and invading the body, it would definitely not be A good thing. Until then, I will probably have to rely on Mr. Grote’s reminder.

Defoni sighed for no reason at all, not only for his own carelessness, but also for Li Suman. After joining the alliance, I know and have heard a lot about Li Suman. In Grote's mouth, apart from Cassia and the Saint Doris of the Theocracy, Lisuman is also the one who appears the most.

I thought I knew the approximate range of Li Suman's strength, but now, the reminder in the communication had to make Defoni rethink and think about the many meanings expressed by the phrase "the most likely to become a second type of life".

There is a huge difference between actively discovering and being reminded.

After thinking up to this point, Defoni had not taken the initiative to stop, but was interrupted by the strange movement around him. He was moving forward at a constant speed and stopped in place. After a slight hesitation, he moved forward again. But the first-generation holy sword and the sledgehammer held in both hands, the strange characters and symbols engraved on them all shimmered, and within a radius of ten meters centered on him, the dust-like pollution spread instantly. disappear. As he walked, a cold path was drawn behind him that restored its original color.

Defoni determined that he was a person with good habits. He would not only close the door but also turn off the lights before leaving. But the office door was ajar, and cold light came out.

A man stood in an office, hunched over a wall cupboard, and when he turned around, he was holding a bottle of high-end wine from the cupboard. The man's eyes first stayed on Defoni's face, then moved to the two weapons that shimmered, and finally returned to the wine bottle.

"We are old friends. I have no objection to drinking a bottle of wine from you. Just think of it as repayment for the funds I found for you." The man said with a smile, then turned around and took out two transparent glasses from the cupboard, pouring them on one side. While drinking, he continued, "We are all old friends. I don't think it is necessary to be so wary before we even meet."

The man said as he threw the half-filled glass of wine over in an unusually smooth manner. Defoni shrugged, and the first-generation holy sword was released and inserted into the floor. He took the wine glass: "I never thought that you would be here, our beloved Marshal Alder. You should appear around the battle line, not in this mountain range, nor in front of me."

"Your wine is still delicious. I have always believed in your taste. It seems that my judgment and opinion are not wrong." Appreciating the delicious wine, Alder did not answer Defoni directly, "You still like this sledgehammer. Before I liked it, and I still like it. I remember that you applied for the Ultra Metal Sledgehammer, but the application was not approved. The first-generation holy sword of the Saint Drag Empire was obviously much more precious than the Sledgehammer, but it was still not chosen by you. .”

Alder once again looked at the first-generation holy sword with only the hilt exposed, and then stared at Defoni, "You look much younger."

Defoni nodded in agreement and looked at himself, "I feel like I am eleven or twelve years younger. It is indeed a magical experience. Being young is good. However, no matter how young I am, I still can't compare to you. The last time we met was probably close to three years ago. I want to continue to promote the Mechanical Dragon project, and I met at the meeting."

"Compared to that time, you now look at least thirty years younger, maybe even more. You are also an old man, and I see you have recovered a lot. I am happy for you. However, you are younger and younger. A longer lifespan does show too many attractive and tempting aspects. But what's the price? It shouldn't be small." Defoni sighed, "I am also much younger, so I know some things."

"It's just a choice." Alder said, "Temporarily, everyone is moving in a better and better direction."

Defoni then took a sip of wine and said, "It is indeed a good wine, and I have always been confident in my taste."

"Of course, as I said, I have always believed in your taste." Alder agreed, "But there is only one bottle left in the cupboard. I will ask someone to come over and bring you a few more boxes later. This brand of wine is from the Central Sea Current Zone The ones produced in nearby areas have their own heat and are really comfortable to drink. The impact there is very small, so you can always drink them in the future."

Defoni smiled and shook his head: "I plan to quit drinking. Although I don't need to quit physically, it is mainly a mental quit. I have kept this bottle for a long time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't drink it. .Now I drink water and juice instead.”

"I think it's okay to drink occasionally." Alder seemed to be comforting. After tasting the wine again, he looked at Defoni and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have someone deliver a few boxes of wine, and you'll be here alone. We need these things here. Guarding this huge factory consumes a lot of energy."

"Besides, after this factory starts up again, it will need an energetic director. No one can take your place."

Defoni spoke with thanks and a sense of loneliness, "Indeed, this factory consumes too much energy. However, it will not have a chance to start up again."
