Steel steam and flame

"By the way, it happens to be opposite us. Did you notice just now?" Ernes changed the topic, "There is nothing wrong with the second stage, but the power has completely reached the level of the third stage. The foundation can be said to be weird. There are not many people who break through the limitations of the surgical stage to add several foundations. So I feel that even if we meet him, there is nothing we can do to help him. Most of the dangers can be solved, plus the need for pharmaceuticals Knowledge..., what do you think of that kind of biological poison? Judging from the brief encounter with the three people just now, there must be a few surgical developments on Cassia's body."

"The muscles are twisted and the bones are strengthened to match..."

"Others are not difficult as long as there are corresponding resources to support them." Novia frowned, "As for biological poisons, I think he is not a person who knows a lot of knowledge about pharmaceutical preparation, but more like a very A rare surgical development.”

Novia's tone rarely became serious: "I have seen similar surgeons in the Far Sea Commonwealth. You know that their operations are more sophisticated than those in the Empire, so if you want to develop specific surgical projects, it should be simpler. . He is a surgeon who acidifies the blood. The corrosive effect can effectively corrode steel alloys, and the effect on human flesh is even more prominent. It is somewhat similar to this ability. You and I both know that it is definitely not a biological poison, it is clearly his own. Blood. A very small amount can achieve this effect, and the third-stage surgeon has no ability to resist at all. There are reasons for this due to Temple's own strength, but it is still terrifying. It is not an easy surgical project, unless there are specific circumstances. And the resources exist.”

"You want to say that this kind of environment and resources are not easy to obtain." Ones continued, "Then, if we connect it, Cassia is very likely to be related to your admiring junior. Because of his identity and background , it is very likely that your Meredith family will not find him to ask him about the situation. This kind of strength will definitely be valued by the family."

"Maybe." Novia smiled, "Anyway, just remember your words."

"I know, don't worry." Ernes showed a helpless expression.

Separating from Ye Jielin at the entrance of the corridor, she didn't ask anything. She just told her to remember to wait for her when she got off the airship tomorrow.

Cassia nodded and saw Ye Jielin disappearing into the corridor before going back to her room. My mood did not become heavy because of what happened just now, but on the contrary, I felt much more relaxed. Maybe it was vented, Cassia thought as she sat on the edge of the bed. I picked up a book and read it. After a few minutes, I sighed heavily and couldn't read it. I read a few pages in a row, but I had no impression at all in retrospect.

Sure enough, he was still affected, Cassia said to herself. Taking inventory of his equipment again, Cassia can now calm down and do only this thing. The cold swords and weapons can bring him a sense of peace of mind.

The airship landed at an imperial station at noon. This is one of several major gathering places. After hundreds of years of continuous expansion, the airport can accommodate nearly thirty large airships. For a moment, it seemed like I was back when I was in the military school before setting off for a mission. The faces around me were all confident, with different faces and different temperaments. Everything will be different, but mediocrity remains unchanged.

Go to the rest area inside the station with Ye Jielin, Hai and others. The Imperial Council has allocated rooms for them. At several entrances, there are also corresponding staff to collect additional weapons and equipment applications. Cassia applied for enhanced flash bombs, which can be about six or seven times brighter than ordinary bombs. In the world of snow, white will make the light brighter.

They went to the cafeteria first, and after discussing the last few matters there, the four of them went to their respective rooms.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door. The efficiency was very good, and the staff had delivered the requested ammunition directly to the door.

Snowmobile ride is tomorrow at 4pm. The specific car will only be known before departure. Taking advantage of the time, Cassia, like most people, went outside the station to observe the weather. Only a thick and dense black cloud was seen on the airship, with violent lightning flashes from time to time. The black clouds that were about to fall down not long ago have become much taller, but they are still oppressive.

"There won't be a severe snowstorm for about a week." Cassia predicted, but the temperature became colder after a raging snowstorm. The air took away a lot of moisture from the breath all the time, walking on the snow , it's more like walking in a desert scorched by the scorching sun.

In the evening, Ye Jielin found Cassia with a stack of the latest assessment area information: "The map was redrawn not long ago, and its reference significance is only before the blizzard. People in the family expect the blizzard to arrive on the sixth day. On the eighth day, in order to avoid it, I chose to gather at the agreed place early on the sixth day."

Cassia said there was no problem. He had certain ability to cope with the assessors who acted alone. And those assessors who make up the team will probably not target second-stage personnel like them for hunting.

"Then you go to bed early. After the assessment begins, I don't think anyone will feel safe." After leaving the information behind, Ye Jielin chatted for a few words casually before leaving.

After a few minutes of silence, Cassia picked up the information and wrote it down one by one. After finding the place where the iron box was hidden, he simulated several outcomes in his head, then went to take a bath, took out the pneumatic sword and placed it beside the bed, and lay down early to rest. He still didn't know if anyone from the Leonard family would come looking for him at this time.

"I hope they won't make the wrong decision." She didn't know why she had such an idea, but Cassia felt that it was indeed the case, and that it had already become a fact.

Waking up near noon the next day, they waited for Ye Jielin to knock on the door. After eating in the cafeteria with her, the two of them grabbed some necessary high-energy food. Plants rarely appear in the assessment range, and even if they do, they will not bear fruit. Data show that the plants that can survive in such extreme areas are more like immobile carnivorous creatures, and the number of plants that survive by relying on sunlight is extremely small. Generally, they grow wildly during the month or so when the dark clouds dissipate in summer, covering a large area, and then wither themselves, gathering all the nutrients into the roots, and go dormant until the next summer.

Therefore, most of the herbivorous organisms living here also have the characteristic of short-term hibernation, and they will also store some food on their own as backup food for a long time. Extremely low temperatures can preserve it well.

Taking off his clothes, Cassia put on a set of syringes and then put on warm clothes. Only then began to count the equipment one by one. Pneumatic sword, revolver, reinforced steel shell bombs and flash bombs, a fire blunderbuss, a tactical knife with excellent toughness, a roll of thin alloy rope, a few bags of high-energy food and a small amount of solid fuel.

After preparations were made, ten minutes before departure, the printer placed in the room automatically turned on, and a piece of paper marked with the vehicle number and a guide map were printed out.

"It's finally begun." Cassia picked up the mask at hand and stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. Then he opened the door and joined the crowd in the corridor.
