Steel steam and flame

More than a dozen corpses all had their heads pierced. After Na'e Mi calmed down from the initial panic, she began to carefully observe the surrounding situation. As the dizziness in his head weakened, some vague memories gradually became clearer, but the pain in the back of his head was still severe, and turning his head only relied on the rotation of his upper body.

"This is the rest camp we chose for the night." The continuous burning fire made Na'e think about it. Members of several families finally chose to join the big alliance, so they simply set up rest camps for each team based on the cracks and caves at the foot of the mountain.

When night falls, according to the order of drawing lots, it is not yet time for them to take turns to guard the sentries. So I chose to rest at this time, and the fire was lit at that time. And what happened next...

Na'e took a few big breaths of dry air in an attempt to calm herself down with the cold. She is not afraid of corpses, she is just afraid of what makes these people become corpses. He is only a second-stage surgeon and does not have any strength to deal with the current situation. Not far away, the man who led the family this time was frozen stiff. He still maintained a cross-legged posture until he died. Only his upper body hung down and his head supported the body to prevent it from falling to the ground.

Most of the others were in the same state. From their postures and positions, Na'e Mi could tell that they were completely unaware of the danger coming, as if...

"It was as if she was sitting there, waiting for someone else to walk over leisurely, and then pierced her head with a sword." Na'e Mi held her body up and crawled towards the exit of the mountain crevice.

Although I don’t know why I am the only one who survived, I must leave here as soon as possible. Suddenly there was more strength in her body, and Na'e Mi tried her best to control her trembling hands to fully support her body without making any unnecessary noise. But the two frozen legs were still dragged on the ground, making a "click-click" sound as the rocks rubbed against each other.

Less than twenty meters away from the exit, Na'e Mi quickly felt the slight cold wind blowing in. It was also at this time that she stood completely on the ground. A tall woman stood at the exit, smoking a cigarette in her hand. The cold wind kept the cigarette butt bright red.

Seeing Na'e Mi, the woman exhaled a white breath and walked a few steps into the gap: "You're awake." Before Na'e Mi could react, the woman's figure had already come behind Na'e Mi and raised her head. The foot crushed her frozen legs completely.

Her face turned red all of a sudden. Na'e Mi couldn't feel the pain at all, but she felt tremendous mental pressure. The violent heartbeat made her feel suffocated, and she began to be forced to open her mouth wide and gasp.

"Can you still feel the pain?" The woman was curious and full of interest when she saw Na'e's confused expression. While smoking a cigarette, the woman raised her feet again. There was movement from the exit, and a group of people walked in.

"Samanti, stop playing around and don't cause any trouble. After we finish what's going on here, we still have important things to do next." The man who came over had a loud voice, but he was impatient. He was also holding a comatose person in his hand, and Na'e Mi immediately recognized it. It was Lucius who had just separated from him during the day.

"I woke up pretty quickly," the man said to Na'e Mi, leaving Lucius still next to her. He took a cigarette from Samantha, walked to the fire, lit it and smoked, "Isn't anyone here yet?"

The man asked Samantha. Na'e was fascinated between the two and didn't know what to do for a while. The weapons on her body had been taken away long ago. Even if there were any, Na'e fans knew that they would not pose any threat to the two people around them. Just through a simple comparison, she could tell that the strength of the two of them was much higher than that of the captain of her family.

"I didn't expect that there would be people in the second stage, so I didn't bring them here. It was already dark, and it became a lot more troublesome to travel." Samanti said, lighting another one with the cigarette butt, and while waiting, she had already smoked I don’t know how many cigarettes I’ve smoked. “If we knew the inspection mechanism of the Imperial Parliament, would we still need those people from the family to come? We can handle it ourselves.”

"There must be a reason why it is called the Imperial Parliament. Don't forget that the technical support for the assessment is the Avalon Agency. I won't be surprised by what they come up with." The man was a little intoxicated by the aroma of cigarettes. , he noticed Na'emi's movements and laughed.

"Don't think about struggling and escaping. Don't worry, we won't torture you, because all we need is your body. It is possible in normal times, but I am not interested in you now. I can guarantee that you will die It must have happened in an instant, just like these people, who lost their lives in sleep with no pain on their expressions." The man showed his white teeth, and wisps of smoke ran out from the gaps in his teeth.

"I don't know..." Na'e Mi was about to say, but was immediately interrupted by the man.

"I know, I know. You didn't provoke us, so why are you doing these things to you." The man waved his hand, "There is no reason, just like the nominal boss of the alliance outside, he said nothing when he saw us. He said that he had no intention of resisting at all, and even helped us bring the potion to your resting place. I just wanted to do this."

Na'emi recalled that someone had indeed been here shortly after nightfall. Seeing Na'e's fascinated expression, the man seemed to have found the fun of passing the time: "Let me tell you, the reason is not your fault. It is that shortly this afternoon, when our people passed through several mountain peaks, someone said that he saw us on the mountain. The person on the bounty posted by the Empire Station during the break. The specific content of the bounty is that as long as you see that person during the assessment and tell us the information you saw, you can get a large sum of money after the assessment."

"Of course, this kind of thing is very troublesome. Our usual style is to deal with the people who cause trouble." The man laughed at this time, "You should know it by now."

"You mean Mr. Tussos?" Na'emi said with difficulty and in disbelief.

"So his name is Tusos? I don't know about this. We only know that his code name is 233233." The indifference on the man's face made Na'e fans feel a sense of absurdity, "Then let's assume his name is Tusos. But this doesn't change anything. I've said before, what we need is your corpse. We don't kill you immediately, just because we are third-stage operators and you are in the second stage, it's as simple as that."

"If you don't understand, you can understand it this way. Because the assessment area is too big, it would be difficult to find Tussos before the thirty-six ferocious creatures were released, so I thought of using something related to him. People come to attract him.”

"I think... this will not succeed, nor will it be effective. We don't know Mr. Tussos at all, we are just following his traces and seeking some protection." Na'emi said word by word Said that she wanted to explain her relationship with Cassia.

"I know, I know." the man replied, taking out high-energy fuel and adding some to the fire, and the flames suddenly started to "whir" upwards, "If you can't accept it, just think about it this way. You are ants, we are They are giants. Then one day, we accidentally trample you to death. Do you understand? The laws of nature are the same. There is no such thing as a reason. If you haven’t understood yet, you think we have nothing to do and want to drag your bodies. You can just play in the snow. In short, you can think of any reason, but we won’t let you go in the end.”

Na'e's eyes turned cold and she could no longer speak. Samantha said at this time: "Witchton, they are here and ready to leave here."

As he spoke, three men walked in. Widgton left the fire at this time and pointed to Naomi and Lucius to the slightly younger man in the middle.

Shortly after the two gunshots were fired, a group of eight or nine people left here, each carrying a varying number of bags.
