Steel steam and flame

The rising flames evaporated the heavy rain in this area, and the explosion of ground-attack bombs gathered into a huge mushroom cloud, pushing through the rain cloud layer and rushing towards the red starry sky alone.

The shape of the infected body was shattered under the impact, and most of them were broken into pieces. Although a very small number of infected bodies survived, because they were not at the center of the explosion, they still had vitality left. But Zero and the team in front of Xiaocheng did not evacuate.

A large number of team members are already prepared. This will be their last annihilation mission following Zero. It has a strange commemorative significance and they all want to do their best.

When the heavy rain reconnected with the rain curtain, knocking the steam and dust to the ground again, the crackling sound of acid platinum bullets and blue silver bullets began to roar. Losing their numerical advantage, the infested bodies do not yet have the power to resist in the face of a well-coordinated team.

As an insurance measure, the current infective body is not immune to the powerful cutting ability of pneumatic weapons.

Zero did not participate in the final mission. He chose to sit in the camping tent and watch the huge mushroom cloud. He observed that the mushroom cloud gradually lost its "mushroom-like" shape in the heavy rain until it was completely scattered by the raindrops.

The communicator rang at the right time, and Number Zero waited for a while before pressing the answer button. The voice from the other end was serious and solemn. He was a member of the Holy Emperor's Hall, "Mr. Zero, according to your needs, changes in status, military rank and other matters are already in the process. Due to communication problems, In about two hours, all the information will be in the hands of the team at the front. When you arrive at the front, there will be a contact person who will introduce you to the more detailed situation and equip you with all the weapons and equipment you need."

"I wonder if Mr. Zero has any other needs? Mr. Holy Emperor specifically contacted here and asked me to express his gratitude and concern to you on his behalf. Currently, for all the churches in the empire, you have the ability to use their internal resources and mobilize corresponding resources. Please feel free to exercise this power as a member.”

"Please give my sincere greetings to the Holy Emperor. If you return to Manoma later, you will definitely visit the headquarters." Zero responded with basic courtesy, "The specific needs will be informed to the contact person when we arrive at the battle line. . In addition, for the teams remaining around this small town, please let them go where they should go. But before going, I think they need a little rest."

"Make sure to make the most appropriate arrangements, Mr. Zero."

The verbal guarantee is not necessarily binding, but it is still a kind of promise. After Zero expressed his gratitude, the communication was immediately disconnected. Originally, I wanted to ask about the current situation of the southern forest and some information about Mr. Cassia, so as to use it as a reference for the front line.

After thinking about it, Zero gave up the idea. He knew that he and Cassia were destined not to follow the same path. From their birth, to the environment in which they grew up, to their different special physiques, it was better to openly admit that there were no similarities at all than to say that they seemed to be full of similarities. The place.

"This body of mine seems to like polluted creatures and polluted dragons very much." The sound of exploding gunfire from the small town ahead continued, and the sound of rain failed to cover it up. While Zero was waiting for the official arrival of the airship, he leaned on a temporary wooden chair, recalling and thinking.

When he began to lead his team to hunt various polluted creatures, he discovered how attracted these creatures were to him. Especially when faced with the dead bodies of polluted dragons, the desires coming from the stomach pouch are even clearer. The unintentional contact made Zero understand that as a dragon, his devouring instinct was extremely strong. It doesn't show up all the time, and it's most likely the result of reason being always dominant.

This is something that needs to be taken advantage of, Number Zero thought. In the past, he still yearned to become a normal "human being". Even if he couldn't, something very similar would be possible.

But with its own evolution, No. 0 was unable to notice when this yearning disappeared. But it's not bad news. At least recognizing that you are a monster will help you understand yourself.

So while thinking, Zero and the team behind him finally ushered in the airship. The subsequent cleanup of the small town is handed over to more professional members, and they will also take the airship to the nearest big city, where they will separate and go to where they should go next.

As more and more small and medium-sized cities were destroyed by white flowers, the accumulated intelligence and information also reached a certain amount. The information subsequently analyzed by the intelligence team helped to a certain extent, allowing the temporarily formed mobile team to come into play.

It was nearly half a month later when Cassia completed her first pollution purification and learned the news.

Li Suman looked completely indifferent, no different from usual. Comparing the value of the lives of these ordinary humans and members of the nobility, the total value of the cities currently destroyed due to the pollution of white flowers is still not as good as the young nobles she killed during the last time the Red Star came.

"Probably in a while, large cities will also become breeding grounds under the cover of white flowers." After leaving such irresponsible words, Li Suman happily returned to the resting place and started Spend some leisure time lying down without going out.

Cassia continues to receive intelligence in recent times in order to be aware of changes in the situation within the empire. He will also be concerned about the situation in his own minor league. The situation in the small countries was relatively stable, and this information made him feel more at ease.

It was an expected surprise that Xicia's name began to be known to many people.

"As a teacher, Mr. Perkins, can he really improve so much in a short period of time?" Cassia didn't quite believe it, but the performance of Sisia, who was active in many small countries, was a fact that could not be denied. So in the end, Cassia could only comfort herself, saying that this was just a qualitative change caused by quantity.

The accumulated quantity was all taught to Xixia by himself.

Next, Cassia also went to rest time. The purification of pollution not only consumes one's own physical strength, but more importantly, it consumes mentally. Maintaining the operation of the red star pattern and energy conversion core is not an easy task. However, long-term uninterrupted pollution purification can provide Cassia with the necessary data accumulation.

Using itself as a "World Tree Seed", this route requires these data.

After nearly two days of rest, she felt refreshed. Cassia still stayed in the new lounge, but her spirit had already connected to the root network and headed to the sun-like southern forest in front of the defensive wall.
