Steel steam and flame

After being frozen in the snow for a long time, Cassia saw that the faces of the three people were turning blue, and their lives were in danger. There was only one familiar face, and one of the women was the sniper he saw when he came to the volcano base.

"Could the two come from the same family?" Cassia thought. When he looked at the two of them again, he felt more and more that their appearances were somewhat similar. The other two were unfamiliar faces, and it no longer mattered to Cassia who they were. Because he failed to protect himself in the avalanche and could not crawl out of the snow on his own, the strength implied by this did not pose a big threat to Cassia.

The focus was still on the sniper. The opponent is now focusing on the gap in the snow peak. The battle there is very lively, the sound spreads widely, and the flames and smoke are rising there.

There will be no clear results anytime soon. Cassia thought, patiently staying where she was and carefully looking for the flaws exposed by the sniper in front of her.

Perhaps knowing that something was hidden behind him, the sniper himself became cautious. Similar to Cassia's situation, Shanerna wasted much more energy climbing out of the snow than Cassia. My whole body felt sore, and I just wanted to find a quiet place to lie down and have a good rest. But the surrounding environment did not give her a chance. Even though the snow clouds have disappeared and the temperature has risen, the environmental situation is still not very optimistic.

Shanerna squatted down and slapped the three people lying on the snow. There was no response and all three fell into coma.

"Troublesome things." She sighed, "Especially now."

I don’t know when something bad followed behind me. However, due to the impact of physical strength, Shanerna's range of perception and acuity have dropped a lot. She has not reached a definite conclusion, but she knows that when she has doubts, she can often come to a definite result without having to confirm.

Gently help the unconscious three people rub the main nodes on the body, so that the stiffened body muscles and the blood vessels that are about to be abandoned by the body can regain their vitality. It seemed like she was repairing a worn-out machine, which is what Shanerna thought she was doing now.

It's a job she hates, even if the other person is her sister, from the same family, with half the same blood flowing through her body. Still find it troublesome. She longed for everything around her to be completed as smoothly as the assembly line in a factory. There is no need to remind yourself, because various programs have already been set in the difference engine or analysis engine used for control.

But until now, until now, I still can't do it. She recalled that when she was practicing sniper rifles, the group of birds kept hovering over the corpses of her companions, chirping and never leaving. She felt like she was one of those little birds now, even though the three people lying there were not dead yet.

Why do you keep thinking about this matter? Shanerna didn't understand. Maybe it's because the situations are similar and they naturally match up in my mind. But it's not a good thing, she said to herself. Because they are tired of hearing the calls of the birds at dusk, they never learn. Even though they know there is danger here, they still stop at the same place at the same time every time. In the end, all the birds were killed by Shan Erna, and the bodies were collected by her and thrown into the garbage incinerator where they were burned to black ash, leaving nothing behind. Soon after, another group of birds flew over...

Shanerna increased the strength in her hands, she wanted the three of them to wake up as soon as possible. It seems that the only people left in the airship are the teacher and the inspector this time, and of course the crew members. But the enemy's airship must be well prepared.

"There is clearly an agreement, why do everyone like to break the rules so much?" Shan Erna listened to the explosion, and the heat between the two seemed to have escalated again.

"Huh...huh...ha..." Shan Erna's simple first aid worked. The first person to wake up was Bai Bella. Her face suddenly turned red from holding back the pain. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to take a deep breath. . Afterwards, Frey and Riel woke up one after another. After almost exhausting their physical strength, allowing the body temperature to return to normal levels was enough for the three of them to rest for a while.

Shanerna didn't have time, she wanted to rush back as soon as possible. The airship may not be able to withstand the enemy's fire pressure. The modified airship, which is half battleship and half transport ship, has an excellent defense system, but in the face of bombardment by orthodox warships, the time and degree of resistance are not unlimited. She might leave them behind, Shan Erna was worried about this.

The four of them would not be the only ones to survive the avalanche. As long as they are lucky, those who are stronger should be able to crawl out of the snow. The difference is only a matter of time. Maybe someone has gone back, but I don't know for sure. When she woke up, the sky was slightly bright. It was a long time for her from the time the avalanche happened to when she actually woke up.

After resting for a while, Shanerna figured that time was running out, so she stood up and circled around the big hole she had dug while firing.

"Sister?" Bai Bella finally had the strength to speak.

"Rescuing people is more troublesome than killing people. On the contrary, killing people is more interesting than rescuing people." Shan Erna had an indifferent expression. Her legs were very slender, and each step was taken out evenly. As she spoke, she was still firing. After finishing the bullets in the sniper rifle, Shanerna looked behind her and asked Bai Bella and the others to get up and prepare to set off.

The figures of the four people quickly became smaller in Cassia's eyes. After the distance was far away, Cassia walked step by step towards the snow pit dug by the enemy.

There were about a dozen large holes made by sniper bullets on the edge of the pit, and the inside was as black as a deep well. Vaguely, Cassia discovered something else. Because the snow there seems to be infected with some kind of liquid. It was blood. Cassia got closer to the holes and smelled the smell that escaped before the blood froze into ice. There are more than a dozen large holes like this, and each hole represents a person buried under the snow. And are enemies.

Cassia was silent for a while, thinking about how the sniper knew what was going on under the snow. ,

odor? A slight movement? A weak heartbeat? Or some other factors? But his mind was confused, and he had to admit that the ability displayed by the other party indeed exceeded the limit of his knowledge reserve.

Then, Cassia continued to move forward, passing by the large snow pit dug by the enemy. There are not only rows of footprints on the edge of the snow pit, but also a provocative picture. It seems that the drawings were specially made while waiting for Cassia to come over. They may have been the drawings made by the enemy while they were circling the snow pit. The sniper knew he was following him, although Cassia thought the enemy was relying on intuition.

It was a smiling face, ordinary looking. Shan Erna knew that there was a language barrier between the two, so she did not use words, but used the simplest paintings to express it.

"Alas..." Cassia sighed as she looked at the simple painting on the snow, then erased it with her foot. Without saying much, she hung the gun and continued to carefully follow the footsteps of the four people who were about to disappear.
