Steel steam and flame

There wasn't much time left for him, and considering the subsequent disguise, that kind of work required a lot of time. Because the enemy needs to be killed in a very short period of time, they cannot be given a chance to draw a gun or send a signal. Three tubes of tranquilizers can keep his body in an excited state for a short period of time, but when the effect of the tranquilizers is lost, and when the perfect evolutionary substance contained in them is completely consumed, he will have to face a difficult situation.

At that time, the chemical toxic substances in the body explode and start to take effect, and the endurance and strength will drop by a whole level. And tranquilizers that are usually harmless to the body can also cause strong side effects to the body due to toxic substances. The violent heartbeat now is a sign, and the whole body has become almost like an old machine. The heart, which is the power source, is too excited, and other parts cannot keep up, and there is a tendency to gradually disperse in the violent vibrations.

The understanding of the operation is not deep enough. This is not the first time that Cassia feels this way. "Perfectly evolved substance", the reason why he is called so by professors and scientists in the empire is because it does have perfect attributes. It can be regarded as an omnipotent and omnipotent substance, guiding the operator to complete his own evolution, which is just one of the functions that people value. During his time at the military school, Cassia heard the professors in the biology building say this more than once.

As long as the method is used properly and certain minimum requirements are met, the Perfectly Evolved Substance seems to be able to play other roles. Defense against various toxic substances is also one of its functions. But at this time, Cassia couldn't feel the process called "detoxification" happening in her body at all. On the one hand, it may be because the surgical stage is too low, on the other hand, it is also because of the wrong method. That may have been part of the development of the surgery, but now Cassia has absolutely no teacher to teach him how to get started.

Cassia needs to find a place to rest for a while, especially after the success of this plan. Of course you can rest if you fail, but then it will be a permanent rest. It would be best if he could meet other teams on the way, but looking at the heavy snow, he thought that a team composed of ordinary veterans would also encounter great difficulties in such harsh weather conditions. The probability of encountering it may not be high.

I was also worried about the situation of other teams, because Cassia saw a detachable heavy machine gun in the enemy team. It must be a product of the imperial military, and in this area, only the volcano base has that kind of weapon. . Other teams may be in trouble, too.

"I hope everyone is fine." Cassia could only think like this, and she didn't have too many expectations. Most problems still have to be solved by yourself.

I don’t know if I can ultimately rely on the enemy’s pursuit. Judging from the attack on his team, it seems that the enemy has another way of tracking traces. Cassia believes the main problem is the hounds. While that kind of microorganism is destroying the body of the hound, it may also be constantly releasing some special substances. A thing that cannot be seen by the eyes or smelled by the nose, it can only be detected by the reaction between corresponding chemical substances.

The traces left by the team along the way were very clean, and Cassia himself was very confident. Apart from hounds, he could not think of other possibilities. The captain also said half of what he said at that time. It seemed that the enemy was deliberately attacking the patrols and wanted to draw out a team like them.

While creating traces of herself running in another direction, Cassia thought about this in her heart. Is my situation the same as that of a hunting dog, releasing substances that I cannot notice all the time? Then he was closely followed by the enemy, and there was no possibility of escaping.

"The surgery really allowed me to enter a new world. At first, I always thought the world was made of steel gears and steam. Then the surgery intervened, and the field of vision in my eyes widened a little bit, but I always thought it was just that big. , it’s nothing more than the appearance of additional humans who can rival steel machines.” Cassia returned to the starting point ten minutes later, the place where he had just replenished food and water, and his thinking speed was also running crazy because of his active body. "When I look back at the things around me, there are too many new things. Maybe when I graduate from the military school in two years, it will be the beginning of this new world."

Cassia sighed as she looked at the winding trail on the snow beside her. An hour only allowed him to make three traces. He just hopes that there won't be too many enemies chasing him. At that time, spreading out the number of people can also reduce his pressure and ensure the success of the plan.

Ten minutes later, Cassia returned to the starting point again. While grabbing a few handfuls of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, he glanced at his mechanical watch to determine the elapsed time. There's just over half an hour left, which is enough. Cassia exhaled a long white breath at this time and moved carefully towards the areas he had circled.

Half an hour later, Cassia, running with all her strength, finally arrived at the first actual location obtained after calculation. My body began to sweat violently, and my clothes felt like they were about to freeze as they stuck to my body. My spirit has always been in good condition, but my legs have become weak and my breathing rate can't keep up with the beating speed of my heart.

I saw people from other teams in front, but Cassia couldn't be happy because they were frozen corpses. The blood had already formed into hard, sharp ice, a strange red color. It has not yet been covered by snow, and it stands out in the white, like a symbol.

There were a lot of corpses, there had been explosions around them, and there were densely packed huge craters on the ancient trees. The body was badly damaged by bullets, and Cassia couldn't tell which team member it was. Most of the ice-like body had been buried in the snow.

The corpses of the enemy were also found not far away, and there were also a lot of them.

It was a battle in which no one gained an advantage, and there were casualties on both sides, but neither side was completely wiped out. Cassia counted the number of corpses. There were still four or five people alive in this team. He had impressions of more than a dozen captains, but he did not see the faces of other captains in the corpses. Maybe it's possible to die somewhere else.

After looking through the backpacks of these people, in addition to repeated compasses, maps and ropes, all high-energy food and ammunition were taken away. The potion to dissolve the corpse was still there, but the enemy had the upper hand. And it can also be seen that the battle took place a few hours ago.

At this time, Cassia glanced around the ancient forest, a dark and white scene. He stood there for a minute or two, wondering what he was thinking.
