Steel steam and flame

All the people next to him stood up, and there were black shadows swaying in places where the fire's dim light did not reach. They began to clean their backpacks, and all the items that were not needed in a short time were placed on the ground to reduce the burden during the battle. Advancing in the snow, even if there are captains opening the way, the resistance to advancement is still a factor that cannot be ignored.

The communications troops outside were transmitting detailed information about the situation in a timely manner. Major Barron was standing in the snow, looking at the woods with faint firelight in the distance, and was thinking about something.

The sound of arranging equipment came from behind him. The soldiers were preparing the best countermeasures according to the current situation. Finally, they took off their gloves, and everyone took out a syringe with a needle. Under the dim light, it contained a pale yellow liquid. It's a generous amount, about ten milliliters.

The soldiers turned on their flashlights one after another, and all the scenery in the concave terrain was illuminated. Using the light, the soldiers found the location of the cephalic vein on the arm and began injecting the light yellow liquid in the syringe.

"Major, the injection has been completed. It will probably take a few minutes for the best effect." A captain walked up to Major Barron and whispered. Behind the two men, the soldiers had lined up neatly, forming several square squads. After the remaining teams were assembled, Major Barron should have changed the queues again.

The soldiers moved their bodies on the spot, and more people took out the little food in their backpacks and ate it with big mouthfuls. The high-energy food they brought was not enough to keep them going until now, but during the mission, each team suffered varying degrees of casualties. The dead man's supplies would then naturally become supplies for the other survivors.

"Wait a little longer. Captain No. 2 also said that the effect of the prepared medicine is not very stable. In order to ensure that the medicine is truly effective in the subsequent battles, you can wait a few more minutes. Those who are carrying the artillery The captain has not returned yet, and we are just waiting for them to return." Major Barron said to the captain beside him, taking a look behind him with a cold look in his eyes. The figure of the soldier is obvious under the light of the flashlight, but it is not realistic and somewhat similar to a three-dimensional paper cut.

"My body is still a bit unable to adapt. The temperature is much lower at night. The effect of stimulant drugs can only be regarded as offsetting this situation." He thought. Snowflakes must still be flying hard in the black sky. Major Barron could not see it, but his exposed face clearly felt it.

"Is the enemy still sending messages?"

"No more. After the shelling, I never saw the flash of signal transmission again." The signal soldier replied looking at the major's profile. He had been looking at the shelling area through the telescope. Apart from the flames that were still burning, there was nothing else.

"Why was it discovered? Could it be that the signal was really intercepted and decrypted?" For a while, Major Barron's eyes wandered back and forth between the woods and the snowy peaks dozens of times before he said one sentence. No one answered, and everyone fell silent at this moment, waiting for the major's next attack order.

Shan Erna has been staring at the dark woods. Not long ago, the light from the flare illuminated a small area there. During that time, she also used the sniper scope in her hand to observe the area carefully.

She always felt like someone was hiding in the canopy, that's how she felt. Although there was no evidence in her vision, her intuition as a sniper and her senses, which were far more powerful than those of other students, told her this. Under the trees covered with ice and a little snow, squatted a hibernating prey.

Just after the operation ended, the communications soldiers on our side stood on the ancient tree. Shan Erna changed the bullets into special ammunition, while keeping a close eye on that location through the sniper scope, and asked Frey to send a signal there.

The crosshair had been pointed at a certain position in the dark air, and Shan Erna even had an illusion at this moment. As long as you press the trigger immediately, you can kill a living life silently in two or three seconds.

This was a strong feeling. Shan Erna's whole body felt slightly hot, and the finger pressing the trigger trembled. While she was imagining this, something else appeared in her eyes. It was an orange light that lit up almost at the same time, like small glowing insects flying from a distance, very fast, then getting bigger and bigger, and the light became more powerful.

As a last resort, Shanerna could only shift her focus at this moment and look at the rapidly expanding bright spot. The light points flew above the black forest at an extremely fast speed, and the scattered light reflected a moving circular aperture on the crown of the ancient tree. Because of the extremely fast speed, in Shan Erna's eyes, the aperture moving along with the light source on the woods gave the illusion of an ellipse.

It was an artillery piece. Shanerna saw the object emitting fire and recognized what it was. She immediately asked Frey to send a danger signal over there, hoping to catch up in time.

In her wide field of vision, several light spots moved rapidly with oval apertures. She did not need to calculate the bullet points through ballistics, but she could also know where the targets of these artillery bombardments were.

It takes a lot of time to transmit signals by flashing lights. Although it is fast, it is still far behind those rapid artillery.

Shan Erna could only use a sniper scope to watch the artillery trailing a long tail of orange flames and smoke, approaching the target area in a very short time. The artillery running at the front hit the communications trooper without any hindrance. In Shan Erna's eyes, the body of the communication soldier was broken into pieces, with blood and internal organs scattered out.

Then, her aim turned at this moment and looked to the side of the communications soldier. The sudden incident occupied most of her attention, but in her heart, she was always concerned about the strong feeling she had not long ago.

When she refocused on the position that made her suspicious, the place was no longer dark because of the flames from the artillery explosion. But it wasn't all bright, and there were no unnecessary scenes, because Shanerna's sniper scope and her field of vision already took up most of the picture.

Such beautiful eyes and crystal clear colors, Shan Erna sighed in her heart, as if she had seen her favorite thing. The magnifying effect of the sniper scope, coupled with her own excellent eyesight, made those eyes seem to be right in front of her. During the brief period of time when they looked at each other, the spatial distance between the two was lost.

But Shanerna didn't hesitate. A smile of comfort appeared on her face involuntarily when she saw something she loved. The moment she saw those eyes, she pressed her fingers harder.

"Bang" the sniper rifle made a sound like exhalation, and long impact flames spurted out. The air around Shanerna shook like waves, and special sniper bullets more than ten centimeters long had been fired.
