Steel steam and flame

Less than half a day later, Doyle rushed to Cassia's dormitory again because there was no communicator. There is still a big difference between this room and the room in the military school. At least there is no printing equipment embedded in the wall.

Doyle looked in a hurry, holding several pieces of slightly yellowed paper in his hand. It was very thick and was a special paper used in the army to convey important information and issue mission orders. That is, it is waterproof, it seems that it can be completely immersed in water, and it will start to slowly dissolve in a day or so. It can also resist the temperature of ordinary flames. The flame of a match does not have the energy to ignite this kind of paper. To destroy it, it must be thrown into a specific furnace or a melting potion. There is no time to transport the corpse on the battlefield, and there is a worry that the corpse will rot if left for a long time, or it will not be allowed to die. A powerful biological agent that is used when rats eat it and blood flies lay eggs on it. In about two or three hours, all the corpses in a large pit can be turned into a pile of slime. Bones will also dissolve, but it will take much longer.

After reading the documents Doyle gave him, Cassia chose the method of destruction using that kind of medicine. Doyle said that this was something made by a scientific research institution in the empire commissioned by the military. It was very expensive and rarely seen. Cassia knew in her heart that the medicine was a collection of many chemicals and a kind of microorganism. That kind of creature can be regarded as a type of saprophytic mold, but it is different in nature, and it was also found somewhere in the extreme area. Chemical substances are similar to stimulants, which can enhance the ability of microorganisms several times and facilitate the transaction of life.

"It is not practical to set off at night, and the location is not within the defense range of the volcano base. The last radio signal we received was at the edge, which can be regarded as a transition area. There is some detection equipment of the volcano base there, but Neither the alarm signal nor the combination code was received." Doyle was invited by Cassia into the room to sit and talk, "That's why the superiors thought it was a sniper. After all, the bullets flying over were not counted. Large creatures.”

"Any other news, Lieutenant Doyle?" There was nothing stored in Cassia's room. He had no taste, so he could only pour Doyle and himself a glass of warm water to drink. "Referring to anything other than the document." , gossip or something." The volcano base suffered a lot of damage the day before. Several patrol teams were wiped out one after another, and the superiors were ordering the formation of a special investigation team.

Doyle thought for a moment and shook his head: "It is a team of more than 20 people. In normal patrols, it is considered a large team. The cooperation between the arms is also very reasonable, and when going out to patrol, many teams join forces. At that time, not far from this team, other patrol teams were checking the situation in another area, but no signal for help was received. When the bodies of the entire team were found, it was already the time for team handover. They were supposed to come back They were nowhere to be found at the base, but the signal was still good, because the Communications Department had been receiving feedback information. Later we found out that the communicator had been deciphered by programmers, and we tracked the fixed radio signal and found the one. After the body examination report came out, it was found that the time of death was around 8 a.m., and they went out for patrol at 7 a.m. Immediately afterwards, several other areas also sent similar reports to the communications headquarters, all of which were about the patrol team being attacked. The attack time is roughly concentrated between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., which seems to have been discussed. Based on the distance between regions, it also shows that the number of enemies is definitely quite large."

He took a sip of water and said with a dry throat: "The document said that the area to be crossed is very large. There is no fast transportation in the mountains, and there are no reports of abnormal flying objects in the sky. We only rely on human power to run." It is impossible to move on flat ground or in a straight line, let alone in the mountains. The mountain streams are blocked by rocky cliffs, and some places are still gloomy swamps where the sun does not shine all year round. It is very difficult. "

"It's really difficult." Cassia also thinks so. Of course, this point of view is not only from the perspective of ordinary people, but also with the physical quality of the surgeon. Even if the surgeon runs without any weight-bearing equipment, there is no possibility of a round trip in two hours in the area marked with a red dot on the file picture.

And it can also be judged that it is related to the sniper, at least in terms of marksmanship. The body had been recovered, but only part of it, and most of the rest was an incompletely dissolved skeleton. By relying on the inspection machine, I found incomplete bullets, which were ordinary firearm bullets. Although it was finally analyzed that they were platinum gunpowder, they had nothing to do with sniper rifles. The clues couldn't be pushed out at this point, which is why the superiors concluded that it might have been a sniper, but there was no definite reason.

A sniper with an ordinary firearm, they think the real scene is like this. The very consistent locations of bullet holes on the bodies showed so. Considering that they might be the group of snipers lurking outside the volcano base not long ago, the base's senior management also included Cassia, who had provided the cigarette butts, in this special operations team, although there was not much connection or reason. .

"This is the case for several patrols. All the inspection reports are roughly the same, and the methods are exactly the same." Doyle then added details not mentioned in the document, "There is just one thing that makes the senior officers at the Volcano Base They are ugly."

Doyle paused for a moment, and Cassia looked over with interest.

"The manufacturing methods of firearms and bullets are mostly similar between the Empire, the Far Sea Commonwealth, and the Flame Alliance, but there are also subtle differences. A few hundred meters away from the body, bullet casings were found, confirming that they were fire guns. But there is a not-so-pleasant symbol on the cartridge case. Those are several numbers, which represent the military manufacturer. It happens to be the large factory that corresponds to the volcano base. From this point of view, the firearm used for firing cannot escape. Yes, they are guns produced by the Empire itself. We discussed privately, and we all felt that it was very likely that the Volcano Base would sell these things themselves. Although it does not necessarily have to be sold to the Far Sea Common Country, it is also possible to purchase them from some places. I just don’t know who is so careless, but anyone who does these things will be dealt with in a certain way.”

Cassia pursed her lips helplessly, imagining the wonderful expressions on the faces of the senior officers when they took the reports to a group of subordinates for a meeting.
