Steel steam and flame

There was also a piece of debris after being bombed. The concrete ground was covered with ravines, each of which was about ten meters long, as if it had been split open by some sharp weapon. The traces are scorched black, burned by some high-temperature substance, and there are substances that are most obvious after the melt solidifies.

Haike slowed down the speed of the train, and jumped off the car with Ieta in front of the burning fire.

"I don't know how much the Three Primary Colors Group and the Imperial Mining Company have lost this time." Iyeta and Haike walked to the mountainside and looked back at the burning airships with the logo of the Three Primary Colors Group's palette, among which there were also The hull bears the logo of the Holy Emperor's Hall. "It seems that these airships are brought out from extreme areas and are not used for training and patrolling in ordinary areas."

"Their giant companies are not short of money, and these private war reserves are completely affordable." Hai said, "On the contrary, they violated the regulations of the parliament and mobilized warships from extreme areas, which makes me feel I'm just surprised. I don't know if the same situation exists in the family. In the past few days when I went out to perform missions, the changes that have taken place within the empire are a bit hard to adapt to."

The conversation broke off when they reached Iyetta. She didn't speak. Perhaps Hei's words reminded her of the family of her own king's faction, and she fell into a long period of silent thinking.

The two climbed to the top of the mountain, and after seeing the sight of the burning ruins deeply into their eyes, their figures immediately disappeared into the falling snowflakes and the pitch-black night.

Delya's question has been put aside for the time being. Cassia and Lina haven't thought about it yet and need to weigh it in their hearts for a while.

The train continued to rumble along the tracks. Linna's injuries were no longer serious, and her breathing had returned to steady.

"Did you really hide the remaining solid red mercury in your body?" Lina only had the strength to look at Cassia, whose body was stained with blood. "If those two people had discovered it at that time, they would never have kept it. Yes. I usually think you are a very stable person."

"There is no other way. These are the only places where things can be placed, and the size is just right." Cassia pulled out the suppression tube on one side of her body and replied after taking a few breaths, "Because of some previous reasons, under the circumstances, , I don’t think they would give me a chance to pull out the suppressor tube. I needed money myself, so I wanted to take a gamble, and I didn’t think too much about it at the time, otherwise nothing would happen.”

Pulling out five of the suppression tubes, Cassia took a deep breath and controlled the muscles on her body to contract suddenly. The things hidden inside were squeezed out, revealing her head, three bright red things, and two more. Polished silver gray.

Cassia pulled them out together, and then stuffed the suppression tube back in. After a while, the accelerated breathing and heartbeat gradually returned to normal levels. Having only done this twice, Cassia's body has adapted to the release state after the suppression tube is pulled out, as if this is their original appearance.

"What are these?" Lina looked at the blood-stained things on Cassia's hands. Three of the hexagonal cylinders were solid red mercury, and the remaining two were a little larger than solid red mercury. They were standard cylinders. , covered in silvery gray, with rounded ends, it is a hemisphere. There is no joint gap in the whole body, and the workmanship is extremely fine, like a mirror. The material is obviously metal, a bit like special steel. The sound after the collision is very crisp, just like glass. This is material that Cassia doesn't know yet.

"Since it's in a box, it should have its corresponding use." Cassia said, "That's what I thought in the dragon's stomach bag at the time. I thought it was another energy substance that was more advanced than red mercury. It was very It’s stable, it’s just that we didn’t know it. So we took them in a daze.”

Cassia guessed, pulled the tablecloth and wiped the blood on it: "Even if it is useless, the money exchanged for three solid red mercury is enough for us to use for a period of time, there is no need to be greedy. And the quantity is small, it's hard to scare them." I can't get through it either." He looked at Lina as if asking for permission.

Lina smiled helplessly at the sincere expression on Cassia's face and made no comment.

Early the next morning, Cassia held Silla in her arms and carried large and small bags, and Delya carried Lina on her back. When the sky turned white, the four of them climbed over two mountains and arrived here. They were now hiding in a thick patch of weeds.

The sun is still hidden on the horizon for the time being, and there are not many clouds in the sky above your head. You can see an immersed blue like a shallow sea. There is no trace of the airship above. The battleship that suddenly pursued the train route last night had already turned around and left before dawn.

A slightly skewed line of black smoke rose from the direction of the railroad. The people on the airship blew up the train staying there when they left, leaving Cassia and the others no chance.

"Let's rest here for a while. Both of them need to recover physically." Cassia returned to the hiding grass at this time and saw Delya treating Silla's wounds. Silla did not wake up, and the gauze used for wrapping was dyed red again.

"The person chasing you has left?" Lina asked Cassia, sitting up with difficulty.

"Let's go. I want to stay on this gentle slope for the time being, and wait until your injury heals a little before making future plans." Cassia spread out the things he brought, mostly medical drugs, which were collected from various carriages when he got off the train. Things found in . The rest is some food, some firearms and ammunition, and a few portable tactical knives.

When he went to a high place to observe the airship chasing behind him, he also remembered the detailed terrain of this gentle slope covered with weeds in his mind. Having lost their means of transportation, the time until they want to go to the gray area begins an infinitely longer countdown. Cassia wanted to wait until Lina's injury was better before making plans. By then, Silla would have woken up.

The slope of this gentle slope is not large, and a thick layer of soil that is not fertile has been preserved in the erosion of rainwater, which can be regarded as supporting the clusters of lush weeds growing on it. Cassia planned to build a simple straw shed in this patch of weeds, hoping to have good comfort, as long as it could avoid the sudden rain.

It was still the late summer and early autumn in this vast stretch of barren mountains, and the weather was irregular. The wet soil under our feet meant that rains came frequently.

He took a tactical knife and went to a place a hundred meters away to cut a large amount of grass, mostly reeds and plants with many grass leaves. It was difficult to find tree trunks used as supports. Cassia spent most of the morning and relied on her strong physical strength to cover a large area nearby. Only then did she rarely see a few solitary trees rooted in the rocks, looking skinny and lacking in nutrients. .

It didn't take much time to build the straw shed, and it was successfully completed by Cassia before evening. A thick layer of slightly dry weeds was placed on one side of the straw shed. Cassia placed the unconscious Silla on it, and Lina also leaned on the side.

The hut was not too big, and it was also camouflaged. The space inside could accommodate four people without being crowded. A safe stone bonfire can be built in the middle with stones that can be found everywhere, and a little dry weeds can be added to maintain the light in the straw shed.
