Steel steam and flame

At the edge of the hole were rolled up metal that had not been treated. Sodar could tell at a glance that this was the result of violent destruction. Some are like the various workpieces that were damaged during ultimate strength testing in factories.

The cold air accumulated inside turned into a substantial thick white mist. At this time, the mist poured out from the hole like flowing water, and slowly fell at Sodar's feet. The temperature dropped instantly, and his body couldn't help but tremble. This refrigerator seemed to be a very high-tech thing, and the cooling temperature could tighten his skin even through a thick layer of clothes.

Sodar picked up the steel plate on the ground and put it aside. He might use it later. The air-conditioning had solidified, and Sodar fanned himself symbolically with his hand, but to no avail. He couldn't clearly see what was inside. The goods that could be transported in such a high-standard cold storage must be high-end goods of the same grade. He had no items in his mind that could be used as a reference.

After rotating the lampshade on the miner's lamp and focusing the light into a brighter beam, the blurry outlines of these things appeared in the fog. They were placed in rows, reflecting a little cold light, as if they were goods that looked like large iron cans. He made a preliminary judgment.

Inside the refrigerator, near the hole, there was a section of broken iron shelf protruding, and the torn wound had untreated barbs. Thordar was a little curious and wanted to see what was inside. He put down the cutting tool, and he was the only one around, so he became more courageous, endured the bone-chilling cold, and pushed his body into the refrigerator.

Thordar was standing, and the hole was at the same height as his chest, so it was not easy to get in. He held the edge of the hole with his hands, bent down a little, and when his head had just penetrated a little distance, he might have hit something. A heavy object suddenly fell from his head and rubbed the miner's lamp. The light that was originally slanting directly hit the alloy floor of the cold storage due to the change in the position of the miner's lamp.

"Dong dong..." They are all made of alloy. The sound of the collision is very clear and loud, and it is transmitted to the wind in an instant. Sodar's body twitched with the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground. He was frightened. Not just the sudden arousal of sound, but also the weight that the sound represents.

The thing that fell just now must have weighed more than a hundred kilograms. If I put my head in a little further and this thing hits my head... Sodar felt scared for a while and didn't dare to think about it. The curiosity that was originally aroused also disappeared at this time. Clean.

He instinctively wanted to pull his head back, but under the vertical light, he saw something, and his body immediately froze in place.

Perhaps the steel can that fell just now stirred up the cold air in the refrigerator and broke the flow cycle that was finally formed. The falling steel can stirred up the air, just like when a large stone fell into shallow water, it briefly broke open the surrounding water. The same thing happened to the white air-conditioning here.

The thick fog dissipated, and the light illuminated a piece of white alloy ground, mirror-like, reflecting the light of the miner's lamp. Sodar squinted his eyes to see clearly what was under the light.

It was a clean floor with many half-meter-long steel cans dropped on it. Almost all of these steel cans have cracks of varying sizes. They weren't rolling around on the flat cold storage floor because something was blocking them.

That's a human, right? It seems that he has been dead for some time. Solda looked at the thing that was mostly covered by the air-conditioning, and already had the correct answer in his head. He only saw one outstretched arm, and the rest of the scene was shrouded in mist. The palm of the hand had turned white from the cold, and the blood vessels on it were all bulging for some unknown reason, as if they were about to explode from under the skin. The finger pads are all condensed muscles, and you can truly feel the power of this palm at a glance.

Thordar had seen the corpse and felt less stressed. But he couldn't figure out why the body was lying in this cold storage. Is it also goods?

And based on the abnormal pale color on the arm, he judged that the body must have been lying inside for some time. But after observation, it seems that the arm is not completely frozen. In the eyes, from the fingers to the palms, to the thick arm, there is still some flexibility and elasticity.

Did he die not long ago? In his mind, he imagined a cruel scene in which a large living person was forcibly thrown into the cold storage, and then the exit was sealed with a steel plate. This man must have experienced inhuman despair inside. He felt his limbs lose consciousness little by little at the end, and then accepted the cruel fact that he would slowly freeze to death.

What the hell. Sodar cursed in his mind and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He wanted to smoke again. It was almost the New Year, and to encounter such a thing at this time made him feel a bad omen.

While he was cursing in his heart, a thick red liquid flowed on the clean ground and soon touched the resting arm.

What is this? Thordar followed the thick red liquid with his eyes and found the source. It comes from those steel cans, the one that fell just now. This liquid was flowing out from inside, and in a short time, the ground illuminated by Sodar's light was covered.

Maybe some kind of chemical. Thordar's nose moved, but he couldn't smell anything except cold.

It's better not to smell it, he reminded himself. At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps came from a distance. After passing through the wind, it became a bit intermittent. Sodar quickly pulled his head out and saw a light approaching from the top of the heavy train.

It was that soldier, Sodar judged by looking at the strong outline. So he pretended to have just finished cutting the steel plate, immediately opened the welding tool and began to cover the hole in front with the alloy sheet.

The craftsmanship can be regarded as a teacher to many people. When the soldier came over, Sodar had already completely sealed the hole.

"Hello!" Sodar greeted him calmly, mentally warning himself to behave naturally and pretend that he didn't see the corpse inside. Otherwise, if you tell me, you don't know what will be involved. The fact that regular soldiers took over this heavy train shows its importance in itself. If some secrets are involved, Sodar feels that he still has a long life, and there may be many unexpected surprises in the future.

"It's already done. All we need to do is repair the black iron steel plate." Sodar dragged the placed steel plate aside and started cutting according to the shape of the hole. This was just the moment to remove his own face.

"Very good." The soldier just replied lightly. His eyes looked at Sodar who was cutting several times, and finally he moved away and looked into the darkness in the distance.
