Steel steam and flame

Following a dozen huge steam copper pipes hovering in the underground square for a hundred or two hundred meters, Cassia and Linna discovered the emergency stairs attached to the wall. It's been a long time since it was made, and the paint on it has many signs of peeling off. As a passage used to climb up the steam pipe and inspect important parts of the steam pipe, it seems that it has not played its due role in these years. Otherwise, Cassia believes that the bomb he placed on the steam pipe has a high chance of being discovered.

The vertical steel stairs were covered with a thin layer of ash, which was stuck there like glue. The huge vibration just now did not shake them down.

Linna walked underneath because she was wearing a skirt. Cassia was above Lina, holding the short machine gun in her hand. When going down the stairs, she also squinted her eyes slightly to watch the surroundings. But the huge underground square was also in chaos at the moment. The sounds of gunshots and explosions, as well as the soaring flames and gray-black smoke rising everywhere. Although it was not as lively as the Black Fort above, it also made this place no longer calm.

No one noticed the inconspicuous place at the edge of the corner, where two people were coming down the vertical stairs.

On the other side of the underground square, Cassia saw several fully loaded freight trains parked there. The huge searchlights showed no sign of movement. The control station not far from the train also lit up a striking red light. . Because of the white light smoke flying in the air, Cassia couldn't see clearly what was happening there.

"This place has completely fallen into a state of paralysis. The situation may be more complicated than we expected." After going down the stairs, Cassia and Lina walked along the side of the square wall. The area they were in seemed to be placed There were not many people at all where some of the machine accessories were. Even if there were, they would either have turned into corpses lying on the ground, or they would turn into corpses at the next moment through the hands of Cassia and Lina. People who came down mainly gathered in the area where the train was loading goods. When coming down the stairs, there were the most explosions and gunshots.

"After rescuing your sister, we have to leave here immediately." Cassia carefully explored the path ahead, bullets flying everywhere, "This attack may not only be to rob the Imperial Mining Company and the Three Primary Colors Group. So simple. With such sufficient preparations and the ability to mobilize that amount of aerial bombs, the other party should be one of the four forces. They obviously want to eliminate all the people who gathered here today. Let's stay here a little longer. The danger also means greater.”

"I know, and I don't want any more trouble to happen. As long as we find Silla and grab the signal generator, we will immediately jump on a train and rush out of this underground square." Lina replied behind him.

While talking, the two of them had walked a long distance along the wall. If the platform where the train loads goods is viewed as the front, then their current location is at the rear of the underground square. There are no people here, and there are few traces of humans on the things placed here. Apart from the unchanging white dust, there are only a few footprints on the ground, indicating that people still come here occasionally.

The elevator they were going to was located in the middle of the underground square, roughly opposite the vertical staircase they came down from. There was also a small office building dedicated to the elevator system, which was built between several elevator shafts. edge. At this moment, the vague shadow of the small building can still be vaguely seen in the smoke that fills the air.

Cassia and the others soon crossed across, and the appearance of the small building became clearer and clearer in their eyes.

It is no longer complete, and there are traces of artillery bombardment on it. Two floors of the five-story building have been cut off, and all the building fragments have fallen in front of the building. There is not a single intact window on the front wall, which is covered with fine bullet holes. The bullets are all trapped in the steel plate sandwich in the wall, and they are densely packed together. There are all types of bullets, but the Point 50 car Loaded machine guns account for the vast majority of bullets.

There are several holes with a diameter of tens of centimeters on it, which were made by bullets from heavy sniper rifles.

There was originally a small open space in front of the small building, but now half of it is occupied by building debris. In the other half, there were several completely scrapped armored vehicles and combat vehicles lying sideways. The engine covers of the vehicles had the palette logo of the Three Primary Colors Group. The artillery and machine guns that bombarded the small building were probably fired from these vehicles.

Cassia hadn't walked into those cars yet, and the wounds on the cars that were cut open by sharp blades naturally occupied the center of his pupils without being highlighted in any way.

The cuts are extremely sharp, and there are obvious high-temperature burn marks on the metal. Under several slashes, there was still liquid metal that had just solidified. The temperature had not completely dissipated. Cassia could feel a little warmth when she touched it.

"It should be a pneumatic weapon." The shadow of the pneumatic battle ax in Nolida's hand appeared in Cassia's head. Pneumatic weapons can chop down steel just like chopping down ordinary trees, without any hindrance.

It can also be seen from the slash marks on the body that the people who use pneumatic weapons are very experienced. There were only a few simple slash marks on the vehicle. There is a line on the power machine that directly destroys the steam engine and perfectly avoids the dangerous high-pressure steam tank on the side. The object was not damaged at all.

There is also a strip on the car body, located at the door handle, extending from the driver's seat to the rear seat. Everyone sitting in the car had their chests cut off. This is how the disconnected corpses inside tanks and armored vehicles come from.

The remaining slash marks were on the .50 heavy machine gun and the barrel of the artillery mounted on the armored vehicle. It was also the same smooth cut that perfectly destroyed these two fire launch points.

Behind an armored vehicle, Cassia found the remains of a broken pneumatic weapon. It was the blade of a long sword, and the tiny gears falling around it allowed Cassia to determine its identity. But the corresponding hilt was not found nearby.

Blood was still dripping from the gaps between the tanks and armored vehicles, and the battle ended not long ago.

Cassia looked over at the elevator shaft next to the small building. It was also completely destroyed. It had been bombarded by artillery no less than a dozen times, and many small cracks were opened. The lifts all fell to the ground, and the steel cables suspending them were cut off, rendering the place completely useless.

"Cassia, here!" Linna found something in the ruins of the small building and asked Cassia to come over and take a look.

Through the gaps between the fragments, you can see a pool of blood underneath, and there is a palm with wrinkled skin. And the hilt of the sword that Cassia had not found just now is now held by that hand.

He and Lina moved away the broken pieces one by one, and a bloody corpse was suppressed underneath. The head was gone, leaving only a headless corpse. The dress on the corpse should be white. There are many scars on it, but there are no signs of scorch. It seems to be wounds caused by ordinary cold weapons. Every slash broke the bones inside. There were huge scars on the fatal arteries, organs, and heart, completely destroying these tissues.

"They are people from the Holy Emperor's Hall, the seven in white dresses at the party." Cassia explained to Lina, "Looking at the skin on the body, it should be one of the four old people, but I don't know who was killed. It's here. It doesn't look like the head was blown to pieces by a sniper bullet. The blood vessels and pieces of flesh in the wound are pulled, and it should have been smashed to pieces with something."

"Then who do you think it will be? The Holy Emperor's Hall can be said to be a ruling class force in your empire. Who will attack them? Besides, the old man's status is not low. Once he is found out..." Linna said this. Cassia already roughly understood the rest of the meaning.

"Are you from the Imperial Mining Company and the Three Primary Colors Group?" Cassia stared at Lina's beautiful face in thought, and then he looked at the small building behind Lina.

"Ignore these for now, we just need to rescue your sister Silla. Who should worry about other things? Let them worry about it." There was no relevant information at all, and Cassia couldn't figure out the relationship. .

He walked towards the small building in front of him and reached the door which was broken by bullets. The sound of something hitting the steel door panel suddenly came from the quiet building, and immediately, the cry for help reached the ears of Cassia and Lina.
