Steel steam and flame

After a brief silence, Cassia continued to push the box and adjust the position. The person inside remained silent and was thinking about something.

"Who are you?"

With the same question, Cassia looked around and saw that there was no extra person around. Immediately, another contact code word tapping sound came from the box.

"A member of the twelfth team was lucky to survive for some reasons. I wanted to join you after the battle, but the explosion..." Cassia said briefly What happened in the past few days, the person inside was probably Major Barron. Due to strength considerations, it is unlikely that it is another captain. And the major didn't seem to believe him very much. Maybe something happened that Cassia didn't know about in this short half-day.

"Where's the twelfth captain?"

"Dead. I think we should all be deeply impressed by that female sniper."

"I want to know your true identity." The major's words were still full of caution. In his opinion, the identity of the more than 500 people who carried out this mission and survived was full of doubts. He saw some things when he came here. Being in this storage warehouse, with his status and experience as a major, everything that happened in the mission was connected at once.

His own status as a colonel was very dangerous, and that was the case for the people who came by airship this time. He did not rush to find the commander here. When you enter this warehouse, you will hide it in this box. This is also considered for this reason.

When I woke up from the snow, it was still dark. Due to the damage from the sniper rifle on his left hand, half of the flesh at the elbow was cut off. There was a serious lack of blood transportation. He emerged from the snow. In the dim light, the front part of his left hand had frozen to black and purple. It had completely lost its vitality and had to be removed. He now only has one right hand with basic movement strength. I wanted to ask a porter to "borrow" a set of clothes, but it was no longer possible.

"I don't know if you are someone who was assigned to the mission by the senior management of the volcano base, but you are still standing and talking to me. I think it is unlikely." Without waiting for Cassia's answer, the major continued, "Already It doesn't matter. Even if you are from the upper echelon of the volcano base, you can't get anything out of me if you approach me this time. The most you can take away is my life. But I hope you remember that I will kill you. I think I should have the strength. Like now."

Cassia knew that the major should be pointing a gun at him inside.

"I just came to the Volcano Base not long ago. I was sent here by the school for some tasks."

"School? Manoma's place?" The major became interested.

"Just an ordinary student at the military school." Cassia no longer elaborated on her information.

"Training? I have encountered something like this before. Just like the enemy on the opposite side, they are all students from another country." The major said, "No. 12, let's call you this, no matter what your identity is. , I hope you understand that our situation is very dangerous."

"The goods here seem to be supplies sent by the imperial military to the volcano base." Cassia spoke faster.

"It seems you know the interests involved."

"I just know what happened at the top of the volcano base a few years ago. These are all natural associations." Cassia said in an indifferent tone, "And I don't think that in their eyes, we will be trouble that must be eliminated."

"Of course not. In their eyes, we don't have that energy. But there are still hidden dangers. The top management of the volcano base wants to hoard funds and expand their own strength. Those in the imperial inspection agency may not have the same idea. You Do you think they have investigated and dealt with these things and reported the quantity truthfully every time?" The major sighed, "In fact, there are still many people in the empire who work seriously, otherwise it would not have been running smoothly for thousands of years. Cancers are always there every time. It happens all the time, although I heard from others that it will be cleaned up every once in a while. But every time it is cleaned up, I think more people are involved in irrelevant matters."

"Just like us." Cassia added.

"You can think of it this way." The major smiled, full of self-mockery, "This time the top management of the volcano base seems to have a stronger background. Doing these things when there is a precedent is not just a matter of courage. It seems like The highest official of Visaya Fortress, Lieutenant General Gabino. It was also foreseeable that he would become a star general before the war."

"I have to continue what I am doing." Cassia said at this time, "I will have a chance to chat soon. Maybe then, I will come over to accompany you."

"Be careful, the commander here is Norentl. I seem to have heard this name somewhere when I was working at the volcano base. If he finds us, he won't be kind enough to send us back." The major hesitated, "Yeah. There’s no way we can go back. Probably, our death report sheets have been printed out and the information has been stored in the military’s super analysis machine. But that’s fine, we can just change our identities, and in the end it’s just a matter of money.”

Cassia straightened the boxes and continued to drive the machine to carry steam engines and accessories boxes one by one.

Many things are hidden in the busy work, and no one notices when someone sneaks in. The morning passed quickly, and half of the steam engine was transported.

The major came out of the accessories box soon after and hid in a more secluded place, which made it easier for Cassia to take some free time to talk.

"It's better to make some preparations." The major said. He learned from Cassia that the enemies had also sneaked in, and they hid among the numerous transporters around. "There are many more living enemies than us, and they are all surgeons. From then on There will only be more people who survive this big avalanche. The enemy's airship may not be saved, and more enemies will sneak in soon. And,,,"

"And the enemy also knows about this warehouse where ammunition is stored. After the senior management of the volcano base cut off contact with the mercenary team here, or when they discovered that something was wrong with the mercenary team here, why didn't they directly send a team to clean them up?" Ka Siya said what the major had not finished, "The team under the top management is much more professional than us, at least compared to ordinary soldiers." Over time, Cassia and the major have established basic trust. Not long ago, they exchanged information and ideas.

"Yes, I have always wondered about this. The senior management are not stupid. Since they know there is a problem here, they directly dispatch a team composed of all surgeons. This will provide the most effective guarantee in terms of efficiency and success rate." The major sat in the shadows and said, with a bandage on his left arm and enough ammunition lying around him. Cassia quietly took it from the damaged boxes while working. Both he and the major needed some weapons, and through their deductions, they found the doubt.

"The base knew that the enemy was here from the beginning, and also expected that the enemy would find this warehouse."

"I mean roughly," the major said. "After the enemy discovered the things here, they may have tampered with it in advance."

"Hands and legs? Maybe it's a bomb. After all, it's the simplest and crudest thing. As long as the location is properly designed and the quantity is sufficient, this place can be completely destroyed with a bang." Cassia smiled, "It seems that not all the things here are It won't work if we move it to the rearrangement. But since we are so prepared, what happened above is unreasonable."

"Or, as the thing that exploded has been destroyed by the volcano base, they have no more worries, so they launch a fierce attack on the enemy's airship." Cassia thought of this next moment.
