Steel steam and flame

The merchant ships continued to sail in the sky, and this was already a main route in the sky. There are faint clouds around, but more of them are intermittent milky white track clouds left behind when the white steam cools in the high altitude.

The high-pitched whistles of other ships sounded ahead, and the middle-aged captain gave the order to slow down. Airships have become more frequent on the main routes. Not only are there huge cruiser-level airships like merchant ships, there are also many small-tonnage airships that are only a few dozen meters in length. They usually form a huge caravan of more than a dozen, or dozens, or hundreds of ships, sailing slowly in the air.

The sun was very hot, and it was now noon. The control room was also filled with golden light. The captain had to order to turn on the light-blocking system. It was too dazzling for the eyes.

"Report to the captain, the matter has been dealt with." The pleasant voice was very clear. This was the young captain's assistant Nadia. She was wearing a hat and her hair was tied back. She was holding a record book in her hand. It is the oral record of all the passengers on the tenth and ninth floors during these two days.

"How is the body being cleaned up? Have you taken any detailed photos? Those things are all needed when someone names them." The middle-aged captain took the record book and flipped through it casually. The things written on it were almost the same, except that they heard strange movements, but because of the restriction order, no one saw what happened that night.

"They have all been packed in bags, and a separate cold room has been set up to preserve the bodies. The photos have also been taken. Does the captain need to see them? I'll ask someone to send them over." The captain's assistant asked softly from the side.

"No need." The middle-aged captain recalled what he saw on the ninth and tenth floors that night. Even though he had experienced a lot, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach at the moment. "There's nothing going on here. You can go about your own business."

"By the way, Nadiya, go and see how that person is doing. No matter what his needs are, try to satisfy them as much as possible." The captain added.

"Yes, Captain!" The young captain's assistant Nadiya responded to the middle-aged captain's words, and then ran away lightly with the record book handed back.

The medical room is on the eleventh floor. You can take the elevator and get there in less than a few dozen seconds.

Nadia walked to the medical room in a few steps with a notebook and pen in hand. The guard standing lazily in front of the door saw Nadia approaching and immediately straightened his body, his spine straightened at this time. This is the young and beautiful captain's assistant. They don't want to lose a good impression in front of such a beautiful woman, although they may not be remembered by Nadia for even a second.

"Hello, Miss Nadiya!" The two guards saluted, staring at Nadiya's face for a long time. However, their majestic and upright postures and energetic words were naturally shielded from Nadiya's eyes and ears.

"Yes." Nadiya nodded slightly, and then walked into the medical room in a few steps.

"Hello, Miss Captain's Assistant!"

"Hello, Miss Nadiya!"

People in the medical room also greeted Nadia warmly after seeing her. She seemed to be a very popular person in the merchant ship.

"Doctor Nomos, how is the situation?" Nadia asked looking at a man wearing a white doctor's uniform.

"It turns out to be Miss Nadia." Dr. Nomos was not in a good state and was a little absent-minded. He had just come out of the room behind him, and the rubber gloves in his hands were still stained with blood. At this time, several people who looked like nurses also came out of the room. They were holding round iron plates with a lot of blood-stained gauze and blood-stained surgical instruments on them. There seemed to be some strange-shaped metal fragments on the other discs. Nadiya obviously did not recognize that those things were actually shrapnel from steel-cased bombs. Finally, there was a piece of black and red rotten meat in a round iron plate. Nadiya frowned subconsciously. Apart from books, this was definitely the first time she had seen these things in real life.

"The situation is okay. He woke up around yesterday evening." Dr. Nomos took off his blood-stained rubber gloves and placed them on the round iron plate held by the nurse who passed by him. "Put all these things in the bag, don't forget it." He said to several nurses walking past.

Then he looked at Nadiya again and said, "Assistant lady, do you need to go in and take a look? Although the last operation has just been performed, the patient's condition seems to be very good." Then he paused, searching for the most suitable one in his mind. rhetoric.

"How should I put it? His body,..., um, it should be said that he has healing ability. He is the best among the people I have ever met, far beyond ordinary people. He is like a giant whale in the ocean."

Nomos said with a smile, and gestured with the appearance of a giant whale in his hand. Then he opened the metal door behind him and made a "please" gesture.

"Can we talk now?" Nadia asked Dr. Nomos, "The effect of the anesthetic has not worn off yet, right?"

The expression on Dr. Nomos's face was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, "Assistant lady, don't worry, it's absolutely fine. In fact, according to the patient's request, we did not use any anesthetic."

Nadiya didn't know what expression to show on her face. She thought of the scalpel cutting off the rotten pieces of flesh one by one, and her whole body trembled. Shaking her head slightly and no longer thinking about these things, she quickened her pace and walked in a few steps.

The lighting in the room was very soft, and the heavy curtains were opened. Through the round glass window, one could see the lake-like light blue sky outside, as well as the light clouds floating in the sky. Dr. Nomos and Nadia have long been immune to these scenery. They have seen too many different skies on merchant ships all year round.

But these things are novel to Cassia. In the past, he could only raise his head towards the sky, but now he actually existed in the sky. Even though he was wrapped in a thick steel shell, it did not hinder his inner excitement.

She knew someone was coming very early. Cassia closed her eyes and then turned her head. Her pale face was gradually returning to its rosy color. The surgeon's healing ability was indeed amazing.

Nadia sat down on the seat in the ward with Dr. Nomos. The surroundings were filled with the smell of potion and blood, and she was not used to this smell.

This is the first time Nadiya has seen Cassia's appearance. It is very ordinary. Due to weight loss, her face has obvious water chestnuts, just like those indispensable lines in sketches. Although there are different shapes on her forehead and body, Thick gauze was wrapped everywhere. Those eyes were very bright, like clear lake water. You could see the oval stones at the bottom of the lake and the small fish swimming slowly inside. This face made it difficult for Nadiya to combine the quiet boy in front of her with what happened on the passenger floor. The tragic situation there made her have no appetite at all in the past two days, and she also vomited a lot.

But the appearance of things and the deep truth are irrelevant. Nadia still opened the notebook and started her work.

"Hello, I am the captain's assistant Nadia, may I ask..."

,,,,,,

At this time today, David could finally take a break. When he left his room two days ago, he saw his boss Carla and Mr. Cassia lying on the floor. He was very busy during that time. The situation at that time made him very panicked and he didn't know what to do, but he subconsciously did not choose to seek help from the merchant ship defense team. Although he was not an excellent businessman, he had the ability to judge the basic situation, and subsequent events verified that this was a correct decision.

Kara woke up soon after and saw that the wounds on Cassia's body had been simply treated by David and his wife, and the blood stopped flowing, and she was completely relieved. Then without Cassia's knowledge, his sleeping body was put back into the corridor. The only people familiar with this matter were David and Carla. Fortunately, the passengers were all good children and stayed in the room for a long time without coming out. When they later learned about what happened in the corridors on the ninth and tenth floors, the passengers were even more determined that it was wise not to come out immediately. Decide. Later, Kara also successfully hid in the merchant ship. She is now just an ordinary passenger on the seventh floor.

During that time, with the help of David and the old chef, some necessary things in Nolida and Flos' rooms were moved to their own rooms. Then in the past two days, they quietly moved to Kara's own room on the seventh floor.

By re-applying medicine to her wound, Kara could only ensure that the wound would no longer be inflamed and infected. The more serious injury on the left chest could only be solved by a professional surgeon. There is still a heart-like biological tissue inside, although it has been completely destroyed.

The body recovered very quickly. Compared to Cassia, Kara's only wound was the one on her chest and heart. Cassia's wounds were all over her body, especially the shrapnel injuries on her arms and feet, as well as her left palm and chest after being pierced by a sharp cane sword. Maybe after returning to the military school, he would have to lie on the hospital bed for a while.

There was nothing to do now. Apart from waiting for her body to recover and the merchant ship to dock in a city in three days, Kara could only pass the time by disassembling and assembling the sniper rifle. Cassia was closely protected, and it was impossible to see him for the time being. If you have anything to say, you can only wait until you get off the merchant ship.

Then there was the matter of dealing with certain things, which were things that Nolida and Flos took out of their rooms. There were four silver-white iron boxes in total, and the two boxes contained a total of one hundred and sixty tubes of tranquilizers. There are also two boxes with a total of 60 green light tubes.

The deal between Nolida and the machinist he mentioned was not just a pneumatic weapon. The limestone ore he found was also turned into finished green-light model nixie tubes with the help of the machinist. . Although the specific value of Fai Tuan is not yet known, but it can attract so many arms smugglers, the price of Fai Tuan in the dark world will definitely not be low. Compared with the hard currency in the dark world such as firearms and bullets, Faun Tube is undoubtedly something that stands on the upper level of the item pyramid.

This is just enough money for me to continue to survive, and the tranquilizer can also be used for a while. Kara has decided not to go back to the military school, and this death can be an opportunity to stay away from the abyss of the Twenty-Third Grand Duke Family.

In the medical room, Dr. Nomos and the captain's assistant Nadia also gently closed the door and walked out.
