Steel steam and flame

"It's already past nine-thirty, and half an hour should be enough to catch up with the time when the two teams meet." Cassia paid attention to the pointer on the mechanical watch and looked at the set direction in the darkness.

The enemy's raid team is definitely more than this. Many veterans in Major Barron's team will soon be subject to the influence of the environment. Whether it is temperature, increasing cold winds, or huge snowstorms that will block the mountains, they will all have to be considered. factor.

No matter how good those soldiers are, they are still not as good as the surgeons. Even if there are woods as a barrier, if they don't find a place to hide from the blizzard, they will eventually become targets unable to move forward in the snow and unable to retreat.

At this time, Cassia hoped that the battle could start earlier, and strive to eliminate the enemy's most effective forces at a slightly more favorable time. There are not many captains left. No matter how strong Major Barron is, except for sneak attacks from hidden places, he has no chance against the firepower network composed entirely of surgeons.

With a long trail trailing behind him, Cassia moved forward slowly and quickly, trying to achieve a respectable speed as much as possible.

About twenty minutes later, Cassia was still rushing forward. The dim light of the flashlight barely reflected the surrounding scenery. There was no one else but him, the snow was in its usual wavy shape, and there were no traces of anyone else passing by yet.

Knowing that he was still some distance away from Major Barron and the enemy, he increased his speed. At this time, I also stuffed a lot of high-calorie food into my mouth, all of which were found from the enemy not long ago.

The world was filled with the sound of scraping leaves frozen into ice cubes. The wind became stronger again, blowing a lot into the woods and blowing on his face without a mask. All the hot breath he exhaled turned into white frost frozen on his forehead and cheeks. Cassia walked up and down the tree continuously, relying on the position of the snow peak and the map to determine her current position. Except for the sound of the wind and the woods, the surroundings were indeed eerily quiet. He once felt that he was going in the wrong direction, or that he was considering the location where the two would meet, and there were some factors that he didn't think of, resulting in the approximate location being wrong.

"Maybe I happened to be in the middle of the encounter between the two." A question appeared in his head that made him tremble all over. This kind of atmosphere seemed to be in the air around him.

"Boom..." While thinking, behind him, that is, in the direction of the snow peak, several bright lights and roaring sounds came into Cassia's eyes and ears one after another. He stood in the center of an ancient branch and immediately climbed to a higher place.

Finally, I climbed to the middle and upper position of the ancient tree, which was shaken by the strong wind and seemed to be broken at any time. There is still a little gray light in the space outside the woods, and the snowflakes are as wide as two thumbs, falling from the snow clouds in mid-air.

In the distance were several slowly falling flares. In Cassia's wide-open eyes, dense snowflakes were passing through the aperture of the flares. Under the flare, there were a lot of firelights coming out, which were very blurry. The blizzard has already taken shape, and it seems that it is just waiting for the temperature to drop a little more before it completely pours down from mid-air.

The actual location of the battle deviated a lot from Cassia's own prediction. Major Barron's team moved forward much faster than he expected. Based on the current thickness of the snow and the difficulty of advancing, he felt that something must have happened to the major's team. Recalling what the captain told him back then, two of the nineteen captains were good at biological agents. So he naturally thought of stimulants.

It is indeed feasible, and it is the best way to save lives and improve your own quality and strength in a short period of time.

On the contrary, it was the enemy. The distance and speed he advanced were completely unlike what a surgeon should do. Many of them were injured in the artillery bombardment, but trying to delay time through distance was probably the real reason. It wasn't too far away from where the wreckage of the airship was found, as if it was just standing still. The enemy seems to have become a party waiting to attack.

Only the light of the fire could be seen faintly. Except for the sound of bombardment just like that of artillery, the imaginable gunshots were completely extinguished in the sound of the wind.

"The distance is a bit far." Cassia fell from the ancient tree and accelerated a little faster. The wind in front of him was also knocked away by him. The body with the rejection reaction turned on was very hot and did not feel cold at all. It was just that the physical strength was exhausted. It's a bit big, but it's still within his controllable range. "It will take about twenty minutes, and it will be close to ten o'clock when we get there. I don't know what the specific situation is there."

Running in the woods, without the view from the ancient trees, I can't observe anything, I can only make guesses in my head. A team with Major Barron and a dozen captains should not suffer a big loss. But there seem to be many powerful people among the enemies.

No matter how hard she imagined, she couldn't get the specific situation there. Cassia concentrated on her journey and spared some energy to think about how to get the giant whale from Linna. When he came to the battle line, he originally had the idea of ​​testing the giant whale method. At present, I still don’t know anything about the development of the surgery. I just know that if the almost sleeping dragon tissue in the body is awakened, or activated like a machine, more powerful explosive power and bonuses to various physical abilities can be obtained. This is the only thing Cassia is certain of right now.

"Maybe it's just the most basic development, maybe not necessarily." I sighed in my heart, "But it seems that I only have this most basic surgical development that I can use."

Unconsciously, there was a slight sound in my ears, which was all the roar of heavy machine gun fire and explosions mixed with it. The wind on the face must smell like gunpowder smoke, Cassia thought as she put on her mask in advance. A bright light appeared in her eyes. Overlapping ancient trees in the distance, a large number of flares were fixed everywhere on the tree trunks, but the light There seemed to be only a few bleeding and stiffening corpses underneath, with no moving figures. The battlefield between the two sides is gradually shifting towards Xuefeng.

Cassia felt like she was seeing a fantasy. The major's team had the upper hand?

This seemed to be a good thing, he told himself, he should be happy. But I always felt that something was wrong, so I suppressed this feeling and continued to move forward, and soon came under the flares that had not burned out.

A large amount of blood was splashed on the snow and it was frozen into ice. The traces of running were intertwined and full of traces of haste. A lot of snow was stepped down and paved with a hard and uneven path. Cassia followed these intermittent paths and turned off the flashlight. There were many corpses left along the way, both from the major's team and from the enemy, but it was obvious that there seemed to be more bodies on his side.

Not long after, I finally understood where that feeling of something wrong was coming from. Cassia picked up the blunderbuss, loaded it and rushed forward. The sound of exchange of artillery fire got closer and closer. Bright lights continued to rise in front of them, and the number of flares carried by both sides was somewhat unrealistically large.

Finally, a figure appeared in front of him, but Cassia dodged the next moment and hid behind a big tree, hoping not to be discovered. Because the figures surging in front were obviously not from Major Barron's team, they were the pursuing enemies. For some unknown reason, the Major's team exchanged positions with the enemy. It was not the enemy that was retreating towards the snowy peak, but Major Barron himself.
