Steel steam and flame

In the control room on the top floor of the airship, the chaotic lights were still shining in the dim environment, and the piercing sound of the siren was like a hammer hitting the hearts of everyone in the control room. The continuously soaring data on each instrument made the controller sitting in front of it sweat all the time. The cold wind blowing over his head no longer felt cool anymore.

The middle-aged captain was still sitting on the highest captain's chair, and the glass in his hand was no longer full of delicious wine. But he didn't mind it either. He swallowed the remaining ice cubes in the glass and started chewing them. The old captain's expression has become much more serious now, his eyes are staring at the black clouds outside the glass, and his ears are hearing the test data and results from the control personnel everywhere.

"Increase the slope by two more degrees, increase the power of the steam furnace by ten percent, and move closer to the north. Analyze the wind monitoring data as soon as possible, and at the same time once again inform my dear passengers not to run around, we seem to Trapped in the center of this black dust storm." The middle-aged captain swallowed the chewed ice cubes and gave orders to the people in the control room for the merchant ship to move forward. Their condition is not good, which can be felt through the shaking of the hull which is not decreasing but is increasing a little bit. The intensity of the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and it was not only mixed with fist-sized hail, but also countless yellow sand rolled up from the desert by the main tornado of the black dust storm. Under the acceleration of the hurricane, they gained strength and struck against the steel skin of the hull, making annoying sounds. Noise systems and metal layers also have no way of dealing with them.

What bad luck. This is not only what the merchant ship captain is complaining about, but also what the entire control team members are complaining about. The merchant ships set sail steadily from the Moon Lake. Even the thunderstorm caused by the black dust storm would certainly not have any impact on them. The steel monster condensed from the core of the empire's industrial technology is not as fragile as people imagined.

But impartially, when the merchant ship left the range of Gerun Oasis and Moon Lake at a very fast speed, and was still in the climbing stage, the black dust storm took the airship as the center of the tornado, and in less than a moment , without giving the merchant ship controllers any time to react, it took shape in their eyes.

The entire airship was trapped inside a huge tornado. The merchant ship in the center of the tornado is in good condition now, but the merchant ship cannot break through the blockade of the black dust storm tornado with its own power. They now need to closely follow the movement of the main body of the black dust storm, and at the same time find a way to get rid of this unlucky encounter by constantly climbing.

At this time, both the passengers and the fixed crew members on the merchant ship clearly felt that the inclination of the floor under their feet had increased a little. The volume of the cabin crew announcement coming from the loudspeaker also increased a lot due to the increase in surrounding noise.

Passengers in each room had already sat on fixed chairs, remembered their seat belts, and were still doing what they were supposed to do. They listened to music and looked at the books in their hands. The curtains covered the round windows. They were not very worried about the weather conditions outside. This is an imperial merchant ship, a well-behaved cruiser class that can already face some extreme climate environments.

The sound from the speakers in the corridor was played three times before it stopped. During this period, the ship's hull was shaking violently, the lights were rattling, and the airship was struggling to follow the erratic movement of the black dust storm. Kara and Lee's bodies hidden in the ceiling had to adjust accordingly due to the change in the merchant ship's climbing angle. The sound of the hurricane mixed with hail and yellow sand rubbing against the navy blue metal hull once caught up with the noise of the lift device, penetrated the obstacles of the layers of rooms, and reached the ears of Kara and Li.

They looked at the door of Letterman's room calmly, without expectations or disappointment. A stable mood is important for the execution of the plan.

This time the wait was long, the lamps in the corridor were shaking, the fixed bonsai plants had dropped many petals, and the smell of pollen in the air was even stronger. At this time, Letterman's room door finally moved.

Because of the recent experience that the door would open without warning, Kara and Leigh controlled the surprise in their hearts to a very small range. The muzzle of the gun moved gently with the soft wrist, pointing towards the slowly opening door of the room. However, as expected, Letterman did not appear in his sight.

Discovered? Absolutely impossible. Kara and Leigh both had the same idea at the moment, and it was impossible for Letterman to discover the slightest trace of the plan's meticulousness. They couldn't think of any other reason to come out except that Letterman himself was wary, or there was a secret code agreement between the three of them that Kara and the others didn't know about.

Even though they were confused, Carla and Li continued to maintain their usual postures, and even their breathing and heartbeat did not change at all. Then about ten seconds after the room door was completely opened, Letterman's figure appeared in the eyes of Kara and Leigh.

Not finding anything, Kara and Li relaxed a little at the same time.

Still adhering to the original plan, Carla and Leigh did not shoot in advance. They took the knock on the door as a signal and prepared to shoot Letterman twice without his consciousness.

But the hull that had been shaking suddenly shook again at this moment, and the lights were still the same as before, and the clattering sound was heard. Kara and Lee's calm hearts were suddenly broken by the sound, because Letterman's attention was naturally attracted by the sound of the lamp, like a moth, his eyes raised to look at the lamp far more than Kara and Lee could stabilize their bodies. Then the time it took for the muzzle to lock onto his head again was faster.

Without any further hesitation, Kara and Lee chose to shoot at this time. Even if the target was not the brain, as long as the body was shot, even if the caliber was small and the bullet was not powerful, it could still reduce Letterman's combat effectiveness by half. .

The speed at which the bullets shot out of the ceiling was, after all, a little slower than the speed of Letterman's rioting body. A group of seminary-related students who had most of their nerve tissue replaced and transplanted finally demonstrated the benefits of money power to physical strength.

Subsequent bullets continued to be added, but except for the first two bullets that actually sunk into Letterman's left arm and left thigh, the rest of the bullets all missed due to the limitations of Letterman's cross pupils and Carla's vision. . At this time, Letterman's eyes took in all the scenery in front of him, the distance from the elevator shaft, the distance from the corridor, the distance between his attacker and himself based on the sound behind him, and the pain in his arms and thighs. He can estimate the severity of the injuries and filter out the people who will attack him from the chaotic thoughts in his mind! In an instant, the electrical signals transformed from all the information set off an electrical storm in the white matter of his brain. At the same time, all the muscles in his body were tense under control. The desperate Letterman was so fast that it was dazzling.

Kara and Lee jumped directly from the ceiling where they were hiding, with the same cross-shaped pupils. Leigh's body also rioted the moment his footsteps landed, a little faster than the injured Letterman. He followed closely behind Letterman, pulled out a tactical knife in his hand and was about to attack Letterman's heart while he was running.

Letterman, whose leg muscle fiber tissue was torn apart by a bullet, was in extremely bad condition. The speed he was suddenly lifting slowed down a lot in the short corridor. He wanted to run to the elevator shaft or the corridor. , is already impossible.

At the same time, Kara, who had fallen from the ceiling, knocked on the door of the room where Cassia, Krichins and Gustin were. She looked at Letterman who was being suppressed by Leigh at the end of the corridor and breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time Cassia and the others came over with the tools, Letterman was already lying in a pool of blood at the end of the corridor, his pupils dilated. The fatal injuries were a penetrating wound in the heart and a cut mark on the artery in the neck.

"The plan was almost ruined." Li took a breath and calmed down on the side. Letterman was the captain, and his strength was equal to each of them. Li didn't take much advantage just now.

"But as long as the plan can be completed in the end, take advantage of this time to tidy up this place quickly." Gustin was also sweating on the side, and Klitsch and Cassia ran back to the room to get more sheets. Everything was still within the plan and there were no surprises.

They were right next to the elevator shaft, and while they were cleaning up the blood splattered everywhere, a crisp sound suddenly came out, and a red light lit up in front of the elevator door.
