Steel steam and flame

It took half an hour for the ground-covering flames to completely disappear. The super-large storm tornado wall that could be seen in the distance had also dissipated, revealing the vast surrounding land. The last bit of light in the evening fell in from the side, making the mushroom cloud huge. Under the umbrella, you won't immediately fall into pure darkness.

It seems that the consideration of time has been lost here, and it is not clear how much time has passed. Amidst the thin and hidden sound of the mechanical body, a spider-shaped bionic mechanical vehicle turned on the large searchlights gathered into a triangle on the body. , countless fine dust is falling silently. Immediately, steam spurted out from several long legs made and assembled from steel alloy.

A wave of steam slowly swept over the ashes on the ground. It didn't go very far. It was either absorbed by the dry ashes or evaporated again by the high temperature around it.

A door opened on the body of the spider-shaped bionic machine, and four people jumped out one after another. They stood around the small soil slope accurately projected by the searchlight. While observing, they looked around, and did not forget to occasionally raise their heads to take a look. The dark sky, and the dust falling from time to time on my shoulders and clothes.

"Judging from the thickness of the ash that fell three hours ago." Someone finally spoke, rarely breaking the silence, "There are also footprints in this direction, and I have no intention of hiding them."

"You want to catch up?"

The first person to speak shook his head, "I don't want to. It's just a basic environmental survey and analysis. Don't think too much about it. It's not an interesting thing. Besides, it's been three hours, and I can't catch up no matter how hard I try." The enemy's large team has also evacuated, and several airship teams have been separated. A small team like ours can quietly follow the instructions and survey the contaminated area after the fire is extinguished."

He pointed to his side at this time, where was the only source of light remaining in the polluted area, a piece of dark red lava, waiting to cool down. "A few days ago, there was a continuous mountain range there. It would be difficult for me to climb it myself." It takes more than a minute to get to the top. Just disappear? No wonder we members of the fourth stage are not allowed to participate. If we were there, wouldn't our role be the same as the mountain rock, or even worse than the mountain rock?

Want to go there? Other teams will consciously move towards it. This is also our only chance at the moment. The survey here is complete. Even if this place is open to us, we still have to queue up if we want to come in. "

"Even if the strong uranium-gold radiation causes injuries, the injuries can be recovered compared to the possible harvest. However, the uranium-gold radiation that has not yet been controlled will never be encountered again."

The words were full of temptation, but the other three did not answer. After waiting for a while, the four jumped into the mechanical body and walked around in a routine manner. After collecting the data required for the order, they were like similar teams in other regions. , all moved closer to the dark red lava pit.

At high altitude, the mushroom cloud umbrella that continues to spread slowly has covered the entire polluted area. A large number of airships arrived here. They were not designed to withstand uranium radiation, and most of their crews were low-level surgeons. They did not approach rashly, but chose to watch from a distance, waiting for new instructions.

I will stay here for a while, the members who retreated to the edge thought so, and the members who accepted the temporary deployment and rushed here also thought so. They did not receive any more information, but there was only one thing that was certain - the operation was over for the time being. As for the next time, there is no clear news yet. But the trimming period will be a longer one.

It was approaching late at night, in the coastal area of ​​the Far Sea Commonwealth, and it was less than half an hour since Novi Sas came back. Without resting, he immediately activated the ultra-long-distance communicator and made contact with Stant who stayed in the Theocracy. The conversation didn't last long, less than a minute, and then the contact was cut off.

Nowisas then took out the communicator and thought about it for a few minutes before pressing the button and waiting for the connection on the other side.

Amidst the electronic noise, Nowisas thought a lot. When Letitia's voice came instead of the electronic noise, it was like waking up after a trance, and he took a deep breath.

"The third general has already boarded the ocean-going ship sailing to the Commonwealth."

"Have Stant and Lavia started taking action?" Letitia hesitated for a while before asking.

"Indeed, there are sacrifices after all. This is not on the same route as the immortality and eternal life we ​​hope for. He will come to the Far Sea Common Country in more than a month. It cannot be ruled out that he will jump into the sea on his own initiative at a faster speed. Swim over. Unless the old guys in the clustered tombs gather in the central current zone, it is impossible to find him. So, starting from this afternoon, after the giant ship sailed out of the port, we lost track of the third general."

"This is to be expected," Letitia said.

"I know." Nowisas responded immediately, "I just want to remind you that the third general is not something that can be controlled. We have a consensus on this."

"What do you want to do?" Letitia didn't want to continue the conversation and got to the point.

"There are not many enemy forces and members in the Far Sea Commons. But in the Flame Alliance, I think there are much more similar elements. The arrival of the third general to the Houxiang Continent should be huge news, but it shouldn't be Only we know, and we shouldn’t be the only ones worried. Moreover, according to the analysis obtained from the intelligence, no matter what Elinor and the leaders of the giant whale group are planning in the cluster tomb, it has almost reached the scheduled time.”

"Now, what you and I are sure of is that the original southern forest incident was the request of the third general, and he asked us to do it. And at this moment, the third general is still using Cassia's body. "

Letitia just said "hmm" to indicate that she already knew. Without further words, communication is disconnected at this moment. Nowisas then put down the communicator and looked to the other side. That direction was the huge area where the resurrected popes of all ages rested.

,,,,,,

High in the sky, the Ultimate Dragon and a Mechanical Dragon were flying rapidly. Away from the polluted area and above the snow clouds, they cannot be called evacuating, but flying freely. Because in Houxiang Continent, only during this period of time, no one would take the initiative to chase them.

Next to him, Defoni looked at his mechanical dragon, which was constantly emitting lightning and sparks, and then at the ultimate dragon, which had almost no obvious damage, and finally shook his head. He has made several requests to change with Sucarius, but he has never been able to do so. He was pushed away by Sukarius's "he must get familiar with his new body as soon as possible".

I am a little envious, but when I think about it, when I go to the empire soon, to the mechanical island in the deep sea, or to the bronze island of the Avalon Agency, this envy is somewhat diluted.

It can be driven once, he thought. At the same time, a fleet of airships that had been waiting for a long time also showed its tiny shadow in front. This place was close to a gray area.
