Steel steam and flame

The sound of the gunfire was instantly covered, and the high and clear sound of the train whistle was specially strengthened. At this moment, it broke the air and spread to Cassia's body with vibration. The bullets flying through the blurry night also disappeared together as planned at this moment, and everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the source of the sound. On the other side of the factory, there were no roads, just railway lines used to transport heavy goods.

A freight train stopped at the edge of the factory.

The clouds and fog deposited in the sky were illuminated, and several huge spots of light appeared. The solid beams of several searchlights were dancing in the dark night, intersecting with each other regularly, like some specific signal, showing where they were now. Location.

When the echo of the whistle came, the sound of gunshots bloomed more passionately in the short silence again. The interlacing orange-yellow shadows were even more violent than before.

Cassia turned his gaze in front of him again, and the continuously converted pictures told him that the enemy was quickly gathering towards the factory. The sound of the whistle was indeed some unknown signal. The people on the Ovelia side were breaking away from the rigid position little by little in an orderly manner. The enemy just now was lying on the ground and moving towards the factory. Cassia immediately stood up and hunched over from behind him.

Still unaware, the sound of the whistle did not draw their attention back. Instead, there was one more person to care about, and they were even more distracted at this time.

It wasn't until Cassia came less than one meter away from him that the crawling man suddenly woke up. Using both hands and feet at the same time, his body suddenly jumped up from the ground and moved to the side. It's just that the direction of movement was completely opposite to what he thought. He felt a huge force suddenly coming from his neck, pulling his body that he wanted to move to the other side back to the opposite direction. Immediately, his breathing stopped suddenly, knowing that his neck was grabbed by the enemy. The man struggled, but no matter how his brain gave orders to his limbs, there was no response below the neck. Only then did his brain realize that at some point, he had lost all sense of his limbs. In the last brief moment of clarity in his life, his eyes could only see the hunched shadow standing beside him. He could not see the increasingly blurry face clearly, and his vision was completely swallowed up by the exhausted black.

The corpse was still twitching, and blood foam flowed out of the man's mouth along with the fragments of his throat. The neck changed shape and became like a crumpled straw rope. Seeing that he had stopped struggling, Cassia let go of her hand. After moving forward a short distance, Cassia made sure that she had not been discovered. When she was about to search for other enemies around her, Ye Jielin also discovered the enemy's movements at this time, and a roar came from the other side of the road.

"Don't let her go to the train!"

But the effect seemed to only exist in this sentence. Ovelia was hiding in the darkness. At this time, she could not be found at all. The denser rain of bullets could only splash more soil on the ground.

"Zizzi..." Immediately afterwards, several flares were shot into the air. The combustible metal emitted bright fireworks. The light sublimated into an incandescent state in a short period of time. After a few seconds, large areas of the ground on both sides of the road were covered by light. down, revealing its original form.

Both sides exposed their positions at the same time, and the orange-red tracer bullets finally found their real target and struck hard at the enemy's head. Under the light, bodies were scurrying to avoid the shadows of tracer bullets. Ye Jielin directed herself and the remaining people in Sotagang to leave the area covered by the flares. At the same time, she and several team captains were also searching for Ovelia.

"Beside the factory wall, from a distance of nearly 400 meters, bombard it directly with artillery!"

Wearing a long black windbreaker, Ovelia had already run to the edge of the light projected by the flare when she was discovered by Ye Jielin. She immediately raised her gun and fired, but only a few faint flames erupted from the muzzle, and the shadows of the tracer bullets pulled out straight lines from everywhere, crisscrossing towards her position.

She had to turn around to avoid it, as the bullets followed her rapidly moving figure and hit a long series of high mud fountains on the ground. The people on her side also reacted to suppress fire, but by the time Ye Jielin aimed at the previous position again, Ovelia's figure had already arrived at the intersection of light and night.

The two artillery pieces were also fully prepared at this time. They blasted out of the launch tube with a bright red smoke tail. After a brief acceleration, they chased Ovelia and fired.

"Clang, clang, clang..." The two artillery pieces flew within a distance of two to three hundred meters and became the intersection of dense ballistic lines. The steel shell did not resist for long before it was detonated in advance during the concentrated fire attack of the fire cannon. The two artillery pieces could only expand into a huge fireball behind Ovelia. The sound of the explosion and the orange-red fire further expanded the area covered by the light, spreading to the periphery of the entire factory, along with the faded paint. A long shadow was also cast on the iron hood.

Cassia exited the scope of the flare ahead of time and came under the factory wall. At this time, Ovelia approached the wall at the end of the factory, running with all his strength while shooting the wall in front of him with his musket. Cassia picked up the revolver, aimed it at Ovelia's body, and pressed the trigger continuously during the interval between the explosions of the two artillery pieces.

The recoil of blue-silver bullets cannot be completely ignored by arm strength and precise control like a blunderbuss using platinum bullets. When shooting at a long distance, a slight movement of the muzzle will cause a huge deviation in the ballistic line. Only four dark red lines shot straight towards Ovelia.

In Cassia's eyes, Ovelia's sprinting body fell down the moment after the shot was fired.

"Hit?" Cassia found that she was not confident either. Facing Ovelia, or a top student from the seminary and military school like her, to be killed by bullets from behind like this, in his own mind, was a deviant idea.

While thinking, Cassia opened the drum at the same time. Before the bullet casing with clouds of gunpowder smoke inside fell to the ground, he had already reloaded six more bullets.

He wanted to add a few more shots to where Ovelia fell, but his feet had already moved before his hands, leading his body to dodge the bullets that rushed towards him. The wall beside him rustled with the remains of wall coverings and bricks falling down. The enemies attracted by the sound of exploding blue and silver bullets blocked his next move after all.

The brief light brought by the artillery explosion turned into burning smoke, rolling and rising into the sky. Just when he was about to blend into the night, Cassia turned her head and glanced at the end of the factory, and a figure crashed into the wall. Then the darkness was released from the prison of light, drowning everything in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few pillars of light that were still intersecting regularly on the other side of the factory.

"Retreat separately!" At the same moment, Ye Jielin's hurried voice also sounded from the other side.
