Steel steam and flame

Cassia did not interrupt and listened quietly.

"Talking about these things shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules, right? In the past, managers had an indifferent attitude towards these things, and for some reasons that are hard to explain, many tasks themselves were leaked before they started, including A list of students who are going to perform the same task. You are also a student who is going to do the task soon. I think you should know the importance of a complete list of students in the previous tasks, right?"

"Yes. In this way, you can contact your teammates in the mission according to the list in advance, run in in advance, and form a real team. In terms of team configuration, you can also do a lot of interesting and effective content." Cassia replied, The middle-aged driver was talking about the situation in military schools in the past ten years. The situation within the empire is like the dry season and the rainy season on a prairie, and the appearance of the red star is the decisive boundary between the two. After this line, almost everything will run in another mode.

"Yes, as you understand, a piece of paper with a student list printed on it has such power. It allows you who are not a team to form a decent team, and allows you who form a team to have a greater chance of survival. In the past This is the case in military schools. Those who have money on hand and are smart enough to find opportunities will often survive to the end and graduate smoothly. In peacetime, people at the top can also get a huge profit. , and there is no loss to themselves or the military school, so they can just pretend that they have not seen it. Of course, compared to those who are truly capable, there is no need to consider these things. They will be present in the future of the empire. , and they are unwilling or disdainful to do such a thing." The driver admires this kind of people. No matter what kind of field they are strong, they can be respected by others.

"But in the current atmosphere of the empire, those small actions will not work. You also know that this kind of period is often linked to purges, and it is very simple for someone to find a reason to cover up. These few times The attrition rate of tasks suddenly went up, and I think it is inseparable from this." The middle-aged driver sighed, "Those managers now know how to get down to business, and they also do the management and confidentiality of tasks. It has to be presentable. Support staff like us sometimes have to think carefully before speaking. Sometimes we are a little uncomfortable. In the past, we would happily chat when giving people away, but now we have to go around in our brains when speaking. It’s troublesome and tiring, so I just stopped talking to avoid saying anything more and causing unnecessary trouble.”

"I think these small talk are allowed. Those in the military school are not so meticulous in their management."

"Not necessarily. As long as those people want to, they can do anything." The middle-aged driver's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he shook his head and said, "Seeing as you are alone, you still have to find your teammates. At the beginning After all, it is enough for you to go on the mission alone. I originally wanted to tell you the details of the small circle of Blino, which is the destination of this trip, but I think it is better not to be in the limelight. "

The middle-aged driver smiled, and Cassia pursed her lips to express some disappointment.

"But I can give you a general background. This is something you can see in books and newspapers. It's not an excessive introduction." The driver's words and the vehicle generally turned around on the big curve that appeared in front, where there was an exposed protrusion. The rising rocks are like the strips of cloth worn by girls in a hotel at night, covering up the important road conditions on the other side of the curve in front without revealing the slightest bit. He turned on his headlights and warning lights at the same time, and both he and Cassia stopped talking in perfect agreement at this time. He pressed the car horn, and the piercing sound echoed through the mountains at a strange vibrating frequency.

Immediately afterwards, a sound that almost rubbed the eardrums of Cassia and the middle-aged uncle came from the other side of the mountain as if in response. The shaking car body could feel the vibrations on the ground, and the tremors spreading in the air completely penetrated. both of their bodies. The pressure on the internal organs suddenly increased, and the pressure of the air in the ears was also different from the outside world. The sound was blocked inside, making the sound hazy and vague, making it feel unrealistic and uncomfortable.

There is a big guy over there who is also trying to turn around this curve that seems to be cut off by a mountain.

Two huge searchlights suddenly appeared on the other side of the bend. The beam formed by the condensed light was like a physical cylinder, swallowing up the off-road motorcycle Cassia was on in an instant. The weight and temperature of the light can be felt on the face, and the trembling in the air makes the teeth in Cassia's mouth rub against each other. The huge engine sound turned into countless drills, using their ears as the breakthrough point, drilling into their heads as hard as they could.

Still within the scope of the light beam, the middle-aged uncle saw the situation and turned the steering wheel to the side. He quickly left the main road, dropped most of his speed, and came to the edge of the light projection. He pressed against the mountain and cautiously faced the oppressive aura in front of him. Like this, he continued to move forward close to the mountain.

Cassia immediately narrowed her eyes to a slit, and finally she was able to see clearly the entire picture of the huge creature in front of her that was obscured by the light.

It's just an ordinary-looking truck. The only difference is that its size is too huge. Relying on the huge size, it creates the realistic feeling of oppression that the eyes see now. Just like the deep darkness you see when looking down from the mouth of a dry well, it is also like the trance and dizziness caused by looking at the ground from a high place.

The ground has merged with the car in front of him, and they are vibrating at the same frequency. Cassia felt helpless when she saw the huge tire rolling towards them. Such a steel machine is too huge, and Cassia has no concept of a weapon that can effectively destroy it with one blow.

Steel bomb? In comparison, the height of the off-road motorcycle is less than one-third of the opponent's tires. Looking at the steel plates thickened and fixed to maintain the stability of the structure, it seems that the word "weight" is written on them. Cassia shook his head. He could not find an effective weapon in his knowledge reserves.

The off-road vehicle was forced to stop. Cassia took off his seat belt and stood up straight on the passenger seat with his hands on the front windshield. The huge truck brought a violent forward blast of wind, which caused the small rock fragments on the steep wall behind Cassia to fall one after another, and the dry weeds were swept up into the air. There is a clear smell of lubricating oil in the air, as well as warm steam that has not yet completely lowered its temperature. They scraped against Cassia's face, and the pressure difference caused by the flow of air pushed Cassia's body toward the truck.
