Steel steam and flame

The sniper wore simple attire, and his figure was perfectly hidden by the bloated clothes. In the huge storage warehouse, it is difficult to find them. And it is not safe to wander around with Cassia's fake identity as the little moving leader.

"It seems that there is not only one entrance and exit. These porters can enter here and use other passages." Cassia moved things and said secretly in his heart. Each storage warehouse should be connected to each other.

On the unloading platform, someone used spray paint to cover the bright military logos, then repainted the numbers of the goods according to the numbers, and finally handed them over to put them neatly into the cargo box. The number was already three digits, but facing the large amount of goods still piled up in the warehouse, Cassia felt that this was just a small number.

"Do they themselves feel that the battle above is unwinnable?" Cassia was wondering what the enemy's intention was to sneak into the warehouse. There were five people with the sniper, and they should all be enemies. Inside, Cassia did not see the powerful female sniper. He didn't know the name, but as a powerful enemy, he had also fought against him. He thought that if he was so close, he would be able to identify the other party by feeling just by relying on his own and the other party's extended perception.

After a while, the three smokers came back with their necks hunched and called Cassia.

"Leader, there are still some things that have not been packed over there. Don't help." They walked to Cassia and helped put away the boxes piled up around them, while urging Cassia, the leader, to return to his mission quickly. .

"I just heard from those people that news came from above that things are going very smoothly, and the enemy can hardly hold it anymore." The three of them were still walking in front. Cassia looked at the goods in the cargo box on the side, and followed them as much as possible. Hide your face. I sighed secretly in my heart. In every region of the empire, the same thing seemed to happen no matter what time it was. Even if there are precedents, there will never be a shortage of courageous people. In their view, as long as the plan is perfect and the thinking is rigorous and there are no loopholes to catch, there is no need to worry about becoming the next example.

The upcoming war has become the most effective catalyst. I don’t know how many things have been quickly matured in this short period of time. What happens in this repository seems to be a valid proof. The major forces in the empire, as well as some people in high positions, are preparing for the outbreak of war in the future. They are not worried about the collapse of the entire empire. In their view, the war a few years later was not so much a war as a huge opportunity for anyone to participate. Only by increasing your own strength in all aspects can you get limited fair competition.

"I heard it's the last train before the New Year. I don't know which part of the empire it's sent to." The three of them continued chatting, looking at the various items on both sides of the unloading platform intentionally or unintentionally, as if hoping to find something from them. Like something interesting.

"I don't know. I remember the last time I came here was a year or two ago."

"When the two mercenary teams were handed over, I have a deep memory." He said viciously, "The people above were very suspicious. Originally, the protection contract had expired, and the mercenary team should have taken the money and left. But at that time, the imperial supervisory agency did not I don’t know why, but I came to the Volcano Base again that year. It was because there were still some unfinished things from the previous matters, and I needed the Volcano Base to complete some information. At that time, the entire Volcano Base was busy. , which lasted on and off for a year. Not long ago, it was just a few days after the news of the war came from Visaya Fortress that it completely calmed down. "

"At that time, I also remember that the mercenary team was unlucky. The superiors thought that some bad news was leaked here, saying that no one from the mercenary team could stay. When we came Here, the mission says the same thing.”

"This is a rare big mission in recent years. As a special force, in addition to training, we usually have to take turns to follow the heavy train. But there are only about ten trains in a year, and I don't know how long it will be our turn. I heard that following the train Everyone can get a lot of money...and it can be regarded as a small vacation." He was very envious in his words. There are no available entertainment facilities around the volcano base. Apart from the base, there is only a training ground. And female soldiers are also a rarity. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with them at all. There are only once or twice a year the opportunity to leave the volcano base and go to a nearby more prosperous area.

But fortunately, as a special force, there are no hard restrictions on smoking and drinking.

Finally they stopped at the front of the rearrangement, where there were relatively few people. Most of the mainstream goods are concentrated in the containers in the middle of the arrangement.

It was a steam engine that was about half their height. It was wrapped tightly with transparent tape, but it could not hide the ferocious pipes exposed on it. There is nothing aesthetic about these exposed steam output pipes, and they were only designed to ensure efficiency and space savings. It's like the tangled roots of an old tree stump that have grown haphazardly in search of nutrients. Centered on the core compound pressurization system, they surround it without any gaps.

It is no longer manual transportation, but there are four lifting vehicles for transportation.

The moving task was very heavy, and the three of them couldn't stop complaining after getting in the car. Cassia looked at the huge steam engines in front of her, about a hundred, but felt relieved in her heart. The four of them want to finish the move, and the completion time must be shortly before the re-listing starts. Because every steam engine is equipped with an accessories box of about the same size, a metal frame, and a wooden board-sealed box. It contains specific structural drawings and instructions, as well as detailed assembly processes and parameters. All small metal accessories are also placed inside.

So the four people stopped talking and began to quickly send these bulky and huge things to the heavy train one by one. There are very few other people around, and the commander on the high platform has no interest in this place. He didn't know that there were a lot of bad things mixed in among the busy people in front of him. Otherwise, he would have a different attitude and expression while holding a loudspeaker and imitating the quacking of a dying duck.

In the military school, they have learned how to operate various machines, including various types of vehicles, even airships and giant ships on the sea. Cassia and the others are not proficient, but they can quickly achieve the goal after a few minutes of operation. The proficient state of ordinary people.

Start moving the things in front of you in an orderly manner. After several trips back and forth, Cassia discovered other passages to the repository on the other side of the rearrangement. But there were two soldiers with guns guarding the place, wearing a layer of ceramic bulletproof plates and fully armed.

"I wonder if he was guarding there from the beginning." Cassia muttered secretly. Without any pause, she grabbed the accessories box in front of the vehicle according to the familiar process.

The body made a subtle creaking sound, and the metal frame and the steel parts inside added up to a considerable weight.

The robotic arm began to retract, and the car body sank slightly. This time, the time it took to lift the accessory box to a safe height was quite different from the previous times. Cassia didn't need to pay attention to these things, but during the transportation, he felt that there was something coming through the gaps between the wooden boards. Scan your surroundings.

It just swept over himself, but the feeling was somewhat distinct. Cassia herself has powerful perception comparable to that of an excellent sniper, especially in the gray area Blino. After coming out of the dragon's stomach bag, the abilities of various organs seemed to be strengthened on the basis of the original surgery. Quite a few. He has always attributed the reason to the fact that his operation stage entered the late stage of the first stage, but in fact, there is no direct connection.

"Dong,,,dong,,,dong dong..." When Cassia put the box down, she deliberately put it in a wrong position. Then he pretended to make minor adjustments, while pushing the accessories box, tapping the wooden board with his fingers casually, in a chaotic rhythm. This was the contact code word that the captain of the twelfth team originally told him.

"Who are you?"

"Major?"
