Steel steam and flame

After the conversation, Adelaide put down the receiver and walked into the rain for a few minutes. The mountains imprinted in his eyes kept changing their blurry outlines in the lightning, and finally he made up his mind. He looked at the people behind him with an inexplicable taste in his mouth: "Notify everyone who came here to clean up the traces of our ambush here. Then we will go around the encirclement as quickly as possible and rush to the nearest city. After a short rest, we will return tomorrow morning."

"Captain, then..." someone couldn't help but ask.

Adelaide looked over with a smile on his face: "There are more important things to do when we go back, just execute the order."

The sound of the explosion surged toward Cassia in the not-so-large cave. He turned around and felt carefully that he was constantly intertwined with the reverberating sound waves. Several silhouettes were covering each other and carefully heading into the cave.

The time to get here was much faster than Cassia imagined. The number of people provided the enemy with great convenience. They would be able to investigate the bare mountains very quickly, speeding up the time for the encirclement to shrink. This team can probably be regarded as the vanguard, coming into the cave network to detect some situations in advance.

After moving her body, Cassia carried the circular device and continued to move forward. Relying on his sense of direction, he kept walking towards the upper part of the mountain, hoping to reach the crater as soon as possible. In order to implement his plan smoothly, he still chose to bring the circular device. After all, I am alone now. Even though the circular device may not be used, the material used to make it cannot even be destroyed by pneumatic weapons and blue silver bullets. Sometimes it is still very useful as a shield to resist bullets.

"Even if the enemy has a map inside the mountain, if they want to find me in such a complicated network, unless they have a special tracking method, they can only rely on their numerical advantage to investigate bit by bit. It will be very time-consuming, as long as I Without taking the initiative to contact them or exposing my location, the time it takes them to find me will probably be enough for me to get to the crater." This was Cassia's plan from the beginning.

The single-player battle did make him feel a lot of pressure, but this pressure did not come from those who were catching up, but from the airship suspended in the sky. The advantage of sound allows him to have another pair of eyes in the dark. Although the time is still short, the sensitivity to capture sounds and the ability to "visible" sound waves, through regular low-frequency vibrations in the throat, emit unheard sounds that completely "illuminate" the cave in the darkness. "Yes.

Stepping slowly, Cassia moved forward at the rated speed with the spherical device. Soon after, I felt a soreness in my throat, and my breathing became not smooth for a while.

The beating speed of the heart accelerated a lot in a few dozen seconds. Cassia, who had cold sweat on her forehead, stopped, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a slight dizziness hit her head.

"There are people coming down from the top of the mountain? It should be a biological poison, a type that acts on the nerves."

Finding a more private place to hide, Cassia chose to rest and wait for her body to gradually adapt to this biological poison. I don’t know what the result will be, but I have confidence in my body in several aspects. In addition to its strong self-healing ability, it is its amazing adaptability and resistance to various biological poisons.

The concentration will not be very high. Cassia has known for a long time that the strong and weak winds that appear from time to time in the cave come from several vents on the top of the mountain. The basis for his advancement, apart from his sense of direction, is the direction of the wind.

Looking at the time, three or four hours have passed unknowingly since the cloud bomb burned most of the plants on the mountain surface. The enemy was indeed held back by the structure of the cave network. Even with a sound wave detection machine, the map of the interior of the mountain was not that clear. Maybe this will be a reason. Cassia was thinking while resting, and did not forget to simulate the current situation of the surrounding enemies within a few hours, and try to figure out the thoughts of the commander of this group of people.

After ten minutes, Cassia took a deep breath again, and after the faint dizziness no longer appeared in her head, she continued to set off. But at this time, he also discovered that this resistance to biological poisons was not without cost. After getting up, he felt that a lot of physical energy was consumed.

The direction of the wind became much more chaotic when touched on the skin. After advancing at a steady speed for several hours, Cassia estimated that he should have reached the halfway point of the mountain, and it would not take much longer to approach the top of the mountain. While thinking, under the sound of the wind rubbing against the cave stone walls, several other sounds intervened. After a few seconds, the air flow driven by the wind suddenly became more chaotic.

The body retreated slowly, and Cassia retreated dozens of meters in a short time. He came to the junction of the two caves, arched his body and hid behind the circular device, closed his eyes and "looked" ahead.

It's a small team, moving forward cautiously in the dark. The person walking at the front was holding a composite shield, and his cross pupils were observing the front carefully, while the four people behind him were vigilantly guarding the front and rear of the cave. It's slow going, but it's the safest way to go. Soon they came to Cassia's position just now, and continued moving forward without stopping.

"Nothing is wrong. No prey has been found in this passage. It is safe." A brief and soft report was made, carrying the noise of electronic interference caused by signal blockage inside the mountain.

But among these sounds, Cassia was sure that she caught several crisp sounds of "ding-". His body also moved instinctively at this time, and his hunched posture remained unchanged, allowing the projection surface of the circular device to envelope him. Holding the circular device tightly with one hand, Cassia picked up a piece of gravel from the ground as he moved. His footsteps drove him and the circular device almost horizontally out of the place. Immediately, he stepped forward with a sudden force, and his throat simultaneously let out a high-frequency low sound. In the world composed of lines, he saw several round objects flying towards his previous position in a classic parabolic trajectory.

Five cold triggers were pressed down instantly.

"Shoot!" Someone shouted in a low voice, but five parallel intermittent dark red ballistic lines had already shot out before his voice.

Several simple geometry questions appeared in Cassia's head at the same time. When bullets were pulled out from the circular device in front of him to attack the sparks of friction, the answers he got also led him to throw the stone hard. . At the same time, his body suddenly stopped, and an endless spark continued to shine as if it had stopped in front of him.

"Clang, clang, clang--" The sound of several collisions was slightly dull, that's because the quality of the two was not in the same category at all. Precise force controlled the circular device to easily bounce back the remaining steel-cased bombs. Half breathing, the five people firing cross-fire in front seemed not to notice the strangeness hidden in the sound of gunfire and attacks. They cannot capture all sounds as keenly as Cassia, and can extract the meaning of these sounds with extremely fast thinking.

"Boom!" In the sound of continuous explosions, Cassia saw several bodies flying apart in the brief firelight. The revolver made a crackling sound, ensuring that they would be in the state of warm corpses when they were lying on the ground.

He immediately went over to check the body and picked up the excess steel bombs and flash bombs. Cassia immediately turned around and ran into another cave.

"They are all wearing communicators, and they will definitely transmit signals in real time, which means that my approximate location has been known to the enemy. There will be a large number of enemies approaching here soon." Cassia thought, speeding up, "Can I use it? This will lead the enemies to an area to concentrate, and use this to find opportunities?"

,,,,,,

"Captain Il, the signal of a team has disappeared." Stian looked at the information prompted by the analysis machine on the magnetic plate. On a blurry screen composed of black and white and gray, a gray line was highlighted, "Need Inform the current approximate location of the prey? Let other teams move closer?"

El and Theodore shook their heads at the same time: "No, the prey is very smart. He will definitely find the communication device when he checks the body. And there is a high possibility that he will use the communication between us. In other words, It's possible that what happened just now was that he deliberately exposed himself in order to lure us there deliberately, giving him time and space to escape."

"It is the prey that should be anxious and panicked. What we need to do is not to let him run into the place we have already investigated at this stage. Tell the surrounding teams to return to the location that was searched half an hour ago to defend against the gap between the nearby teams. The main purpose is to unite. At the same time, let the ground troops speed up the investigation of the cave network in the lower half of the mountain, shrink the unknown area, and slowly surround the prey."
