Steel steam and flame

Chapter 54 Impermanence

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, but Cassia already felt hungry in her stomach not long after lunch. Today's afternoon consumed far more than usual, not only in avoiding those excited Flos men, but also in the mental activities consumed by the battles that had to be carried out.

It is not as easy as Cassia imagined to accurately hit the enemy in a dim environment. Although there is shooting training in the darkroom during the training in the military school, according to Bolei, it is just training. .

In actual situations, there are too many factors to consider. For example, when you are training, whether it is a fixed target in front of you or a moving target with uneven movement speed, they will not shoot at you. The mental pressure and mood between the two are definitely different.

Cassia is now heading towards another underground water network. He has only learned about the situation there from the map, and some details need to be confirmed by him actually walking around. The mission to explore the underground waterway only went on quietly for one day before it was ruined by unpredictable developments.

All the new faces who came to the Green Oasis seemed to have no rules at all. The situation here had completely changed into a big dye vat. Everyone was desperately adding paint of any color into it. In the end, the dye vat would be No one seemed to care at all about what was mixed. They seem to just want to be happy.

Or maybe too much black is added to the dye vat. No matter how much pigment is used to mix it, the final color will definitely be fixed?

No one answered, no one questioned, and no one gave what the final color in the dye vat was. Everyone is chasing me and I chasing you in the underground waterway with guns in hand, leaving corpses along the way, which will turn into white bones the next day.

No matter how expensive ordinary bullets are, they can only cost about one metal-plated Three Holy Coins at most, and this is still the market price. If you master the technology and use those powerful but corrosive gunpowder to quickly produce bullets, the cost price may not even cost one holy coin.

The wars between these arms dealers are sometimes so worthless. Their weapons are calculated based on cost price, and the most likely to be lost are those well-trained elite men.

There was another dull gunshot from the front, which rippled like water in the underground waterway and completely turned into noise, which kept ringing faintly in the ears.

Cassia stopped. There should be a huge cavity in front of it. It was the site where the arms smuggler Brewer built a few days ago. He bought some steam tools to transport there, and his craftsmen were working overtime there. to make ammunition.

But that place has now become a battlefield. When you turn a gentle curve, you can see a blazing red flame. All the steam machinery is like a bath of blood, swallowed up by the flames. White steam pillars spewed out randomly.

Without defenders, they were caught off guard. The enemy came against a thick hemispherical steel plate. The area was so large that it was almost the same as the cross-section of the entire underground waterway. The bullets from the heavy machine gun hit it and were all bounced off by the hemispherical structure. In the end, they either hit the wall or sputtered to the ground. Then the enemy threw a number of incendiary explosives from the openable and closable window on the steel plate. All the gunpowder without any safety measures in the workshop was ignited, and the situation became what Cassia saw before his eyes. .

This stronghold has been completely destroyed, Cassia said silently, the firelight reflected his face, the color of blood.

He felt that he should go back early. The world, which was like a tangled tree root, was completely in chaos, and it was basically impossible to find information.

But at this moment, a lot of people suddenly came over behind him, and those were the faces he saw when he came here just now.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at the panicked crowd. Their spirits were already in a trance, and the expressions on their faces were not just panic, but despair.

"We were lied to!"

"Floss's men have completely surrounded this workshop point with a steel plate cover! Now they are pressing in from all the waterways connecting here!"

"Run quickly and see if there are any other exits. I remember there is a patio not far away!" It was rare for everyone to show expressions other than fear on their faces. But less than a hundred meters away, Cassia had already heard the fierce gunshots coming from the passage there in advance. The tongues of fire were spitting out like a long dragon, and the bullet shells were thrown at an even faster speed. Some people who had no time to avoid were shot over, and their bodies Beaten to pieces.

Those who were lucky enough to avoid it fired violently at the round steel cover. The bullets hit it with a playful ping-pong-pong sound, and there were also a little friction sparks like gunpowder. Ordinary bullets are completely useless in front of it. After being specially refined and adding many rare metals to increase the rigidity and strength, the cover is completely the nemesis of ordinary bullets.

The upper window opens, revealing a small opening. Above is thick glass for observation, which is also bulletproof. A rapid-fire machine gun protruded from the gap. The continuous sound frequency was two to three thousand times per second. The ground and walls were like a row of mud splashing on the water. The bullets formed a line and followed the people running around in panic. When people come over, black mud that has been soaked in sewage all year round rises into the sky. Lines cut through the waists of those people, and the dense bullet holes almost formed a row. Their upper bodies fell, and all their internal organs flowed out. When they landed, the people were completely dead.

Everyone was scared. Several passages were filled with steel covers that could not be broken. The flames from the machine gun muzzle illuminated the entire passage. They hid behind the burning steel machines. The high-speed bullets had the smell of cutting through flames. The symphonic mechanical sounds and sound waves stirred everyone's nerves.

Some people began to run over and beg for mercy, but those excited people would not listen at all. The man kneeling on the ground was beaten into a pulp, with deformed bullets mixed in the pulp.

The high-pressure steam tank behind him still stores a large amount of scorching steam, and the steam-making machine is still filling it crazily. The steam plumes from several steam outlets shoot out several meters away. This is a region that is both scorchingly dry and dullly humid.

Cassia took out a revolver, which is the most common gun with a caliber of .10. He only brought more than a hundred ordinary bullets with him. Originally, he thought that these were useless things and could deal with all current situations. s things. But conditions are changing faster than shifting sand in a desert storm.

After pouring out the loaded bullets from the drum, Cassia took out two more delicate bullets with fluorescent blue rings at the bottom. This was something he brought with him just in case, but if it weren't for specially made high-quality firearms, he wouldn't be able to control them at all.

The result of forcibly using them with ordinary guns is like this. A sound spreads in the flames, as sudden as lightning, and the explosion sound is like thunder. The sound waves lift up the smoke and flames surrounding Cassia, and the ballistics cut the air and stay there. In the next obvious airflow channel, the surging flames were also knocked out of a huge hole by the high-intensity airflow generated by the rotation of the bullet.

This actually penetrated the flames, like a sharp blade splitting the flowing water!

The bullet held a bright orange-red tail in the air and hit the steel round shell in front. The sound of the two clashing and rubbing in an instant stimulated the fragile eardrums of humans.

There was a big hole in the arrogant steel shell, big enough for a person to stick his head through. The person hiding behind the steel cover had a huge circular hole blasted into his body by the bullets that continued to penetrate him. His eyes showed the look of someone who had not reacted to anything before he died.

However, this is not enough.

Only the handle of the revolver in Cassia's hand was left, and the rest was torn into pieces by Leigon's powerful explosive force the moment the blue silver bullet was fired. He only brought two blue and silver bullets, and it was for this reason.

He looked at the steel cover that had started to move again in front of him. Although a big hole had been made by the blue silver bullet, the damage to the huge surface area did not seem to be significant.

Cassia now felt a little regretful that she had not brought over the two guns specially made by the military school, but no one could have imagined that things would develop like this. He just wanted to come over to see the situation, but he unconsciously got involved in this planned siege.

But this just means a little regret. He also knows that things are not going according to his ideas. Just like he cannot carry blue and silver bullets all the time and only use them to attack ordinary targets, they all It is prepared for enemies who are also surgeons, including pistols and rationed bullets, whether blue, silver or platinum.

Ordinary bullets and firearms can be used to deal with almost all emergencies, but such a situation has never been thought of by Cassia.

The muzzle of the rapid-fire machine gun was still blazing. They pushed the steel cover closer and closer. Cassia and the few remaining people hid behind the still burning steel machinery. The blood-red flames reflected in their eyes, surrounded by Steam billowed out, and the air became distorted by the heat of the flames.

But at this moment, the corners of Cassia's mouth curved up, and she had already thought of something.
