Steel steam and flame

Chapter 57 Leaving

The arm was covered with black mud and was as straight as steel. There were faint traces of blood on it. It suddenly stretched out from the mud, and the soil below was slowly arching up.

There are people buried under the soil!

The man walking in front of the arm was frightened and staggered. The soil under his feet was already wet and soft. His foot slipped and he sat down on the ground. The pistol in his hand also fell beside him. He quickly picked up the gun and aimed straight ahead. When he came down, he was a little panicked. Now that he was frightened, he picked up the gun and fired several shots at the arm stretched out in front of him.

A few meters away, probably because his heartbeat and breathing had been completely disrupted, and because he noticed that his face had become hot, several bullets all flew away from the side of his arm. In the past, when he calmed down, none of the bullets he fired could even scratch the side of his arm.

He was so embarrassed that he put the gun back, and the cold sweat on his back seemed to be evaporated by his heated body. Feeling the mocking glances coming from all sides, he felt that he should do something, otherwise he would never be able to regain his face.

He stood up and took a few breaths. Several more people came down from the edge of the tunnel and began to walk towards him. So he thought about walking over quickly. The soil there had formed into a big bag, and the buried people wanted to get out of the buried soil as soon as possible.

There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a person who was lucky enough to survive the explosion. Watch me dig him out and cheer him up.

He put his hands into the soil, and sure enough he grabbed something like clothes. He bent over and exerted force suddenly, but the thing inside the soil seemed to be a steel machine, weighing more than the bullet boxes he had carried before. Heavily, with this lift, the things below were only lifted a little distance.

His face turned red all of a sudden, and he finally had to let go. For some reason, the person buried underneath was really too heavy.

,,,,,,

Cassia's consciousness finally recovered, but it was only in a blurry state. Severe pain spread throughout his body, and his physical condition reached its worst at this moment. He felt like he was buried in the soil, but fortunately the soil was very soft and he could still breathe at the most basic level.

Not dead yet, he muttered to himself, but not a single syllable came out.

His calculations were wrong. He knew that in the end, the cavity of the weapons workshop should be included in the calculation, and the factors of those circular defensive covers blocking the underground waterways should also be taken into account. But I was a little panicked at the time, and I just wanted to explode the steam tank to destroy the situation, trying to find a way to escape. But the result was far from what he expected. But just being alive is his greatest comfort now. His mother and sister are still waiting for him to return home in glory, so it would be a bit hasty to die here like this.

He really wanted to laugh happily at this moment, but the corners of his eyes were filled with tears. In the hot steam, he really thought he would die there. His body was like water in a drum, rotating crazily in the cavity with irresistible force. He could only protect his head tightly with both hands to avoid fatal injuries due to collision. But in the end he fainted, and his body was thrown up by the impact, just like the dead leaves that fell in autumn and could only flutter in the wind. He couldn't do anything. In the end, he fell wherever he fell. Everything was arranged in advance by the wind. . The feeling of helplessness is too terrible, and it can swallow up a person's willpower far more than the silence of the night.

You could feel the moist air outside when you stretched out your hand, which meant that you were not buried very deep. He wanted to stand up, but the strength of his arms and waist could not support him to make any movements now.

In the darkness of the earth, he felt someone grabbing him with both hands, trying to lift him up from being buried, but his weight was already in an abnormal state. The early stage of the first stage increased the density of bones and the strength of various muscles. Too much. The hands gave up.

Cassia knows that she needs to rest now. The perfectly evolved substances in her body are frantically repairing damaged organs, and fresh blood is constantly replenishing the circulation that has lost a lot of blood.

The small amount of fat stored in the subcutaneous tissue, around various internal organs, under the abdominal omentum, thighs and buttocks is now being consumed in large quantities, just like the coal fire in the steam boiler room that will not be extinguished at all times, every inch Things that can be converted into energy are being consumed, and the perfectly evolved matter is their catalyst, speeding up the burning speed by more than ten times and a hundred times.

In just a few minutes from coma to waking up, Cassia felt the strength gradually recovering in her body. However, in contrast, her weight also decreased by an unknown amount in the same period of time. Because he could very clearly feel that something was missing from his body.

His body seems to be entering a state of withering, and the material transformation seems to be a little out of his control. The assimilated perfect material is repairing his body, but this is just an approach of demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, without absorbing energy from the outside. , oneself will be consumed to death by oneself.

I have to stand up and inject myself with a sedative as soon as possible, Cassia roared in her heart. The rejection reaction consumed too much energy in his body, and every inch of flesh and blood in his body was so hungry that it opened its mouth. They were about to devour each other. This was what the old professors at the military school called dryness. The result was that the sedatives were not injected in time. It means that you are consumed by yourself until you die.

He struggled to straighten his body and regained some strength in his waist and arms, but it was not enough.

At this time, Cassia felt those hands grabbing him again, and he was easily lifted up after his weight had changed a lot.

,,,,,,

The man who went down had rested enough by now. He took a few deep breaths and saw that the bag of earth in front of him was rising up little by little. He knew that the people buried inside were also struggling to get out. So he stopped slacking off and had to earn back the face by himself.

Just like before, he reached into the soil with both hands and grabbed the clothes of the person buried inside. He gathered his strength and was ready to lift the person out in one breath. But this time, before the breath was completely sucked into his stomach, a figure tumbled out of the black mud. The weight of the bullet box just now seemed to be his illusion, and the weight in his hands felt only heavier than that of an ordinary adult. Just a little.

Sure enough, he was too nervous just now. He shook his head and sighed, he still needs to exercise more.

He dragged the buried man out of the mud. His whole body, including his head, was completely wrapped in clothes. The top was covered with black mud with a strong rotting smell. The man's entire back was sunk into a folded thin steel plate. Inside the film. The tough steel plate shows the outline of his strong back.

More people came to him, and they discussed how to lift the man up and place him on a relatively flat concrete road. Someone went over and took off the tattered clothes wrapped around his head.

He is a very ordinary-looking person, but his face is covered with blood, his eyes are red, the whites of his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, and his pupils are in a state of concentration and relaxation.

Someone was talking next to him, but there was no reaction at all.

"I think I lost my hearing temporarily. After all, I was lucky enough to survive the explosion. It's simply a miracle."

"Yes, that's it." Someone agreed.

"Then how should he deal with it? In this state, he will definitely not be able to ask anything." Someone asked his own question.

"We should first find a hospital to admit him to, and we can talk about the future when he is in better condition."

"Then who's coming?"

The people who gathered around fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke. The explosion was neither big nor small, but none of them wanted to let go.

At this moment, someone ran over from behind, "The garrison of Gerun City is coming!" He shook the radio in his hand. This was the person who was bribed by them in Gerun City to inform them of the news. This means that no matter what you do, you must either finish it quickly or leave as soon as possible before their garrison troops arrive.

"There are still two or three minutes. They have already arrived at the port area." Someone nearby reminded.

But the people around still looked like they were wary of each other.

"Since everyone can't trust each other, and this matter is not a big deal, maybe it won't take long for the cause of the explosion to be spread. So..." Someone finally couldn't bear the suppressed silence and spoke. .

"So you mean to hand him over to the garrison in Gerun City?"

"Yes, decide quickly, otherwise none of us will be able to escape when those officials come. They don't care whether you have committed any crime or not. Your boss has warned us not to get involved with the managers of Green City. It’s a relationship.”

There was another moment of silence, and the urging became more and more urgent. Finally, someone couldn't stand the pressure, stepped into the limousine, and started to leave. If someone takes the initiative, this matter will be much easier to handle.

Everyone came and left the same way. Brewer's men also saw that something was wrong. They ignored the iron door that was blown open and hurriedly hid in the gray leather warehouse.

At the edge of the big pit, it suddenly returned to its original state, silent and silent, and all the mice stayed away, as if no one had ever been here.

Then, less than ten seconds after those people left, the man they carried out stood up slowly, looking into the distance with confused eyes, and blood was still dripping from his face.

Cassia stared at the world without sound alone, her sense of balance was somewhat lost, and the scenery in her eyes was blurred. He watched the people around him leave one by one, their mouths open, and his damaged vision prevented him from looking at other people's lips to guess their meaning. But seeing them leaving in a hurry, I thought it was not a wrong choice to follow them and leave here.

What bad luck, Cassia thought. He felt that he was seriously injured because he had never been injured like this before, which gave him no standard for judging the severity of the injury.

"I have to go back quickly. I feel like I'm in a bad state." Cassia opened her mouth, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing.

But when he slowly moved towards the old building site covered with grass on one side and only a few steps away, he intuitively felt the danger coming from around him.

"I am being treated as a prey." He continued to move step by step, his mouth slightly opened, but still not a single syllable came out. Then he put his hand into his arms, where four tubes of fluorescent blue tranquilizer were placed close to his body. Only the things stored inside can restore his condition. Coupled with the suppression of the rejection reaction, there will be a greater chance.
