Steel steam and flame

"Okay, I got it." The man named Riel replied. He was smoking a cigarette just now. Now he was reminded that he could only take a long puff of the cigarette, which was already half burned. Under his huge lung capacity, it quickly burned to a position close to his mouth, and then he threw it directly to the side. This is a cigarette without a filter. He who pursues enjoyment does not need that thing. The original flavor is the best for him. Then a foot wearing high-quality brown boots reached into his field of vision and helped put out the cigarette. Riel glanced at it but said nothing.

Riel inhaled the smoke deeply into his lungs, and while exhaling it, he stood up from the big rock on the side of the mountain and held an assault-type firearm in his arms.

"It's been a few days since I came here, and it's finally time to go back and gather again. Will there be people again?" He sighed, "What the hell, if there is no train here, will other things come here?"

"I don't know, but that's what the voice told me. It was indeed the sound of the steel wheels rubbing against the rails, but it was slightly different from the train. It felt softer." The same voice replied, a female voice. Riel looked at the speaker. The woman holding a sniper rifle was lying straight on the ground, her whole body tensing up at the louder and louder sounds.

Perhaps because of his role as a sniper, his breathing gradually disappeared intentionally or unintentionally, because when Riel looked at the woman's light silver hair, he could no longer detect the need for her breathing action from her back. The ups and downs are coming.

The sniper rifle was also held tightly in the woman's hand. It was a style different from standard sniper rifles. The barrel was very long, far exceeding the common standards. There is a support tripod underneath. The optical sight used for sniping also has a mismatched length. Just from the appearance, you can tell from the precision of polishing that the workmanship standards are above the top.

The finger pressing the trigger also looked a little slender, and was very white in color, the same color as the woman's more beautiful facial features. She gently brought her face close to the optical sniper scope and stared at the end of the railway line in the magnified world. At the same time, based on her learned experience, she slowly used her eyes and skin to feel, as well as her extremely sensitive ears. Your own perception emanates.

"Maybe it's a human-powered railcar, which was mostly used for railway maintenance in the past, if not for the military trains of the Saint Dorag Empire. And this railway line is about to be renovated." The other one looked a little gloomy. And unconfident voices sounded around the two of them. It always felt a little out of place and incompatible with the current situation. The impatient and unfriendly atmosphere in the air suddenly told this strongly.

"Frey, it might be better for you to just keep your communicator safe. You know, at times like this, Bai Bella needs a quiet environment to concentrate." Riel didn't look at her from beginning to end. He walked over to the person who helped him put out his cigarette butts. He hunched over lazily and came to Bai Bella. He picked up the telescope on his waist and looked at the same place.

Bella did not respond to Frey's words, as if she and Riel did it deliberately. Both in terms of tone and attitude, they were not very interested in Frey, who was squatting next to the communicator in the corner of this small platform. Call it alienation or deliberate indifference, it seems. There was something lingering in the air that suggested just that.

Frey was probably used to the two people's behavior, and there was no obvious reaction on his face to their words and attitudes. He closed his mouth, tightly closed, as if his lips were no longer soft, like a door that had been locked several times, fearing that if it were suddenly opened, something terrible would come out of it.

In the end, he just pushed up his black thin-rimmed metal glasses with a pair of thin lenses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes also shifted to the railway line, and there was no other unnecessary action.

Although Bai Bella did not reply to Frey's words, she had already remembered the words "human-powered rail car" in her heart. Her sensitive ears don't seem to match her own knowledge reserve. When she saw the railway tracks, she couldn't think of anything else besides the various functions and different types of trains.

"I came here to read some information about the Saint Dorag Empire. I couldn't think of it in time. It was also the responsibility of the teaching staff who were not prepared. It had nothing to do with me." Bai Bella's heart was not with her. He seems so focused on the surface, "It basically doesn't affect my knowledge of anything. Now that I know it, I won't forget it in the future."

It seemed that he didn't like Frey very much. When Bai Bella was thinking about this, Riel Dafan who was beside him also had the same idea. It's just that the relationship between the two is due to etiquette? Not spoken out.

The "clang" sound echoing in the mountains gradually became louder at this moment. On the section of railway blocked by the mountains and tall old trees, things seemed to be running very fast. There is no overlap with the human-powered railcar that Bai Bella knows.

"Did Frey say something wrong?" His attention has not calmed down since just now, "Sure enough, it was just nonsense said by that lowly guy." A feeling of relief appeared on Bai Bella's body, and some pressure Mentally, the things that made her feel uncomfortable disappeared quickly, her attention became easier to concentrate, and the perceptual network that spread out became more stable.

The sound waves converted from noise were captured by Bai Bella's ears, and almost turned into regular waves in the air that could be painted with a paintbrush. The source of the sound was about to appear at the end of their sight, and she completely held her breath at this time, hoping to keep any perception that was emitted stable and not prone to fluctuations.

Judging from the sound, Riel and Frey in the corner also put away their physical aura at this time, making themselves as similar as possible to the natural inorganic bodies around them. These are required courses no matter where you are. Even though they think the people who are coming largely don't need them to do so.

Just hide well on this mountain platform, do some camouflage on the surface of your body, and be the same color as the surrounding scenery. This kind of preparation can cope with many situations. Almost no one can find their traces in the battle base of the Saint Dorag Empire near here. Relying on this camouflage that is very simple for them, coupled with their own strength and quality that is much higher than ordinary people, and following the principle of changing places after a sniper shot, they have hunted many people recently.
