Steel steam and flame

The sun was out when we arrived and the light was very mild. Ye Jielin reluctantly moved her fingers, opened the window, and let the sunshine in. Some of it fell on Cassia's face next to her, and she might not be able to feel it. It was covered with a tight bandage, leaving only her nose and eyes. During Berta's surgery, the skin on the originally unwound head also cracked, exposing the white bones.

The injuries were much more serious than what appeared to the eye. As Berta said, all she could do was slow down the speed at which the injuries broke out and the extent to which they destroyed the body.

After falling unconscious on the heavy truck, Cassia never woke up. Except for the subconscious twitching movements of the body due to pain, it is completely a corpse in a real state.

Ye Jielin moved her eyes from the car window to Cassia, and could only sigh again.

With the people from Sotagang operating in the middle, the boarding procedure for Ye Jielin and others went very smoothly. It is a secret, dedicated passage that has always been temporarily used by officials of the imperial agencies here. Sotagang can be mobilized, which also shows his network of relationships.

The airship took off not long after, entered an altitude of 10,000 meters, and flew steadily towards Manoma, starting its approximately two-day journey. After sailing for about an hour and a half, a communication came from Sotagang. He and Berta had quietly arrived at the factory last night. As expected, a large area was cordoned off and filled with Imperial Guard and Special Operations Force vehicles. Cameras were in hand taking pictures of the scene, and the industrial city's top official was also inside. Walking step by step with managers from various agencies and departments on both sides of the road full of potholes and bullet casings. Sotagang was no longer interested in talking about anything specifically. He just wanted to get back what belonged to him.

"The time to go to Manoma will be delayed by a week or two. This is not a small matter, and it may be reported to the regional empire management agency. By then, I want to get it again. To return to the five miniaturized super vapor compression devices, it will definitely take a lot of time to deal with the troublesome people at the higher level." Sotagang's words were filled with regret and an indescribable sense of relief, "The only one The good news is that the items were not damaged and I heard they were dismantled and transported away in the early hours of the morning."

"But I didn't see that armor. There was no wreckage on the ground, except for a huge number of bullet casings. I don't know if it retreated or left here. The bodies were also put into body bags and are still there. Identify the tools and make corresponding records. You can still accept my communication request, which means that Ovelia and the others have also lost most of their mobility and cannot wait for you at the airport in advance. But please be careful. I look forward to seeing you again in Manoma in two weeks." Sotagang finally said, and Ye Jielin hung up the communication.

"The trouble is not gone yet, I have to speed up myself." She glanced at Cassia lying on the bed, walked to the window of the room, looked at the thick layer of clouds under the airship outside and said to herself language.

,,,,,,

The airship rose from above the airport, its navy blue body casting a large shadow on the surrounding buildings. Several red and blue signal lights flashed alternately. After receiving feedback from the ground console that permission was given to take off, it slowly climbed up under the drive of the lift device. Soon after, it opened a huge gap in the clouds. Finally arrived at the established route.

"Such a move is better than just boarding that airship." Iyeta touched the scars on his face that were about to disappear, spoke to the side, and pulled his horrified eyes back from the sky behind the car window glass. .

There was no immediate answer, and Hai signaled Lyle in the driver's seat to leave.

"Get on the highway, go to another city first, and then take the airship back to Manoma."

"That way the possibility of exposing your identity is much greater, Miss Iyeta." Haikou looked at Iyeta and said, "Last night's action and Lyle have never passed, and it is also for this reason. Otherwise, with our current situation With strength, no one will be better off without the family. I think you will have a deep understanding of this feeling."

"Of course." Iyetta replied coldly, "But I'm more or less used to it. But even if Ovelia dies, the resources I can get again are very limited. Among the people in the same period, except Ovelia In addition, the family still has many priority candidates. You know, on this road, failure once means losing all future opportunities."

"As long as the goal is achieved." Hai didn't mean to comfort him. He knew that for Iyeta, these words would only seem more harsh at this moment.

"But Mr. Cassia has completed the development of squamation surgery, which is really surprising." The topic was dragged to the other side, "I don't know what you think, Miss Ietta. You saw it last night. The final result." Hai took out a few photos from his pocket, which were photos of the armor taken from different directions.

Captured with good observation equipment, it still looks very blurry due to environmental factors at night. The only thing that can be clearly identified is the battle armor body that is mostly dyed red in focus.

"I don't have any opinions. If I say 'thank you', I do. At least that's the opportunity Cassia created for me." Iyetta replied, leaning on the soft seat and watching the buildings in front of the limo continue to circle around. behind himself. Thinking of the scene he saw in the sniper scope, Ietta didn't want to describe it too much, and subconsciously thought that it would be better for fewer people to know the details of that scene.

Yuhai and his team arrived in this city two days ago. Information collection was proceeding in an orderly manner. Iyeta, who was on the other side of the city, received the message and then took a limo to the open space full of gunpowder smoke. The battle was indeed almost over.

Loading the heavy sniper rifle with special ammunition, Iyeta aimed the sniper rifle, just in time to see a canopy of flames erupting from the muzzle of the tilted shotgun, engulfing Cassia on the armor body. Then a body covered with black scales rushed out of the flames, flew in the air, and fell into the distance.

When the flames dissipated in the air in the blink of an eye, Iyetta once again captured the full view of the armor's body. The situation was much worse than she had imagined. The damaged half of the machine body and all the failed weapon systems gave her the urge to press the trigger immediately. But he still restrained himself. Iyetta knew the defensive capabilities of the bulletproof glass in the cab. The distance was close to a thousand meters. Even if the power of the special sniper bullets had not weakened, he wanted to kill with just one bullet. There is no possibility of breaking the glass and penetrating Ovelia's head.

She wanted to wait for the moment Ovelia came out of the cab before pouring bullets into that head. But Ovelia in the sniper scope was clearly in trouble. She unbuckled her seat belt in an unusual hurry and then patted the emergency button next to her. After waiting quietly for a few seconds, a large amount of blood sprayed out from the gaps in the alloy plates of the body.
