Steel steam and flame

After finally eating and drinking, and then taking a good bath, the chapped lips had turned rosy due to the amazing recovery power of Cassia and Kara.

Lying on the comfortable and soft big bed, Cassia felt that every bone in her body was melting on it. Although the desert trip for more than ten days was not always accompanied by danger, the fatigue really penetrated into her bones. , now he just wants to have a good sleep in such a comfortable environment.

The surgical assimilation in the body is going on all the time. Probably because of the fatigue in the recent period, Cassia can clearly feel the acceleration of the surgical stage. Sure enough, suffering is the best way to exercise. We are really evolving in the direction of masochism. He silently protested in his heart.

In the early stage of the first stage, various physical indicators increase rapidly and begin to stabilize. This time can be four to five months, or longer. Cassia undoubtedly belongs to the latter because of the inhibitory tube, but if the environment in which the body is located is more severe, the approximate time can be shortened.

Then the early stage of surgical assimilation ends and the long middle stage begins. At this time, dragon substances have basically been integrated into every corner of the body, and the body begins to induce the evolution of its own life form due to the perfect evolutionary substances extracted from dragons.

This kind of induced evolution is severe and cannot be controlled selectively. It is like a flood, avalanche, and earthquake. Even if you know it is coming, you are helpless. And it is also multi-faceted, one of the most important characteristics is that the substances in the blood begin to completely transform. The original blood is slowly replaced and swallowed up by fresh blood, just like the replacement of night and day, blending with each other, but they are two completely different concepts. Fresh blood is more viscous and contains many magical substances, making the blood begin to seem to have magical powers.

So under the guidance of blood, the function of blood vessels began to move closer to the direction of steam transport metal pipes. Blood is hot steam in pipes, continuously transporting energy to a stronger and stronger body through a network of blood vessels throughout the body.

This period has a special name, it is known as the "red mercury stage".

Cassia didn't know what red mercury was. All he knew was that "red mercury is a top-level fuel with a specification much higher than that of Legon." But that didn't stop him from having endless conjectures in his mind.

Except for some individuals, many students will stay in this stage for a long time. At this stage, the blood begins to become as powerful as red mercury. Driven by the blood like fuel, the operator's body can face the steel steam machinery for the first time.

Can muscle be stronger than steel, can it be stronger than a huge steam turbine, can it be faster than a steam chariot running at full speed on the road? Cassia was thinking about these problems in her confused mind. Now they can ignore the huge recoil of most firearms with one arm. Their body functions are also more resilient to adapt to and withstand many environments. Strength, speed, reaction nerves, etc. Everything is turning them into monsters. Being able to stab the sword thirty times in one second was something he had never thought about before, not to mention that this was his achievement a month ago.

The temptation of surgery is too great. It opens a door to a new world. Like Pandora's box, once it is opened, there is no possibility of it being closed again.

Pandora's box contains endless disasters and sufferings. Is surgery really just a small thing with huge profits? Cassia couldn't bear the pressure of exhaustion, and the last thing that appeared in her brain before going to bed was the sedative given by the Military Academy before they went on the mission. It was a blue fluorescent potion, Sukarius The perfect evolutionary substance in their mouth. Sure enough, nothing comes without a price.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

This is the best rest day in ten days. When he opened his eyes, Cassia's spirit was still hazy, and something touched her ear, making a tinkling sound, far clearer than the crisp bird song in the morning - the crisp feeling of bullet collision.

What is Kara doing again? Cassia thought that only Kara around her could touch the bullets contained in iron boxes.

There was no need to put on clothes at all, Cassia realized that she had not taken them off last night. When I walked to the aisle, I saw Carla loading bullets into the magazine at a glance. Next to her were David's two daughters, both of whom were very young. The oldest was only six years old.

They were also sitting next to Kara with bare feet, playing with golden bullets covered with fine oil stains in their hands. They were firecracker bullets, with a diameter of 7.9 millimeters and a length of 55 meters. mm.

The golden bullets were a novelty that they had never seen before. They felt a little greasy when their little palms were applied on them. The most important thing was that they had a cold feeling on them. Holding a heavy bullet in their hands is the most real thing for them. They were very happy holding the bullets, with happy smiles on their faces that didn't know anything.

And Kara also took off her fighting equipment today, wearing a long skirt, and her black hair was not tied up and scattered behind her back. Most of the bullets in the iron box have been put into the magazine.

"It's so early, I thought you would sleep for a while." Kara didn't even raise her head, and her slender fingers were covered with the same oil stains as bullets, "You like your clothes so much, and you rarely take them off even if you have time. Come down and wash yourself, I won’t help you.”

Cassia's face turned red all of a sudden, and he knew that Kara's buried head must have seen his boots with tight laces. But what is this word? He was shouting in his mind.

He didn't answer the question. He felt that he would not have any advantage in speaking on this topic.

"Where's the jewelry merchant?" Cassia also sat on the edge of the aisle and helped load bullets.

"Are you talking about that fat uncle David?" Kara then bent one of her knees and rested her chin. At this time, Cassia could clearly see her long, curved eyelashes and the hem of her long skirt. Shi Ye slipped down from his smooth legs, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin, which seemed to be shining brightly. "Didn't I tell you last night? I asked him to go under the giant tower. We don't know the specific situation, so we have to come forward ourselves." It's not a good thing after all. David is also going to the center of Gerun Oasis today to see how various businesses and trades are going. I asked him to stop by there to have a look. After he comes back at noon to understand the specific situation, we can meet again. Let’s discuss the specific plan for the mission.”

Cassia nodded.

"He went with his wife, and his two daughters were crying in the locked room, so I let the two children out." She brushed the hair falling around her ears and said, " Children should come out to enjoy the natural air. It is not good to be locked in a house. There is no one in this house, and there are two of us here."

Kara took it as a matter of course, and there was a hint of blaming David in her words. The two little girls also seemed to like her very much.

I'm locked in the house just because I'm afraid of seeing you, Cassia sighed inwardly. It seems that you still don’t understand your image in David’s mind. If he comes back and sees his two precious daughters happily playing with bullets from the musket next to you, I don’t know what he will think in his heart. The expression on his face will be It will be as rich as last night’s menu.

Fortunately, the number of magazines is far less than the number of bullets. After all the magazines were loaded, there was still one and a half boxes of bullets left. Cassia put them into categories and was thinking about finding a set of clothes for a temporary change of clothes. David and his wife were already holding them with both hands. Various things came back after opening the iron gate of the small garden.

"Fortunately, it was a few steps late." Cassia was also happy for the honest David, and her two daughters were running to greet them with strange eyes.
