Steel steam and flame

Cassia walked into the room holding the last box of bullets and placed it in the corner to the left of the door. At this time, Kara had already taken out her sniper rifle. The sniper rifle, which had been disassembled into delicate parts, was being carefully wiped and maintained by her. No corner of each component has been left behind, and all the fine dust is stuck to the white cloth with magnetic effect. The slightest error is very fatal to the accuracy of the sniper rifle.

For a sniper rifle with an effective range of three to four thousand meters, any slight change will be amplified at this distance. The human body is not a big target in the eyes of a sniper, and the power of the bullet will decay in a curve after being fired. Wind direction, gravity, and wind speed were all things that needed to be calculated, and Kara had no way of deciding what to change. But the accuracy of the sniper rifle itself is within a controllable range.

As long as it is something that can be controlled, it must be ensured that it will not cause any problems at the most critical moment. This is Kara's harsh belief.

The seemingly all-pervasive dust in the desert was her biggest enemy. During the journey, Kara complained about this many times. After finally arriving in such a comfortable and clean environment today, the first thing to do is of course to maintain your firearms.

"Do you like sniper rifles so much?" Cassia looked at Kara's extremely serious face and shook her head. Future missions will definitely involve fighting in various environments, but there are very few places suitable for using sniper rifles.

If there is a chance to face extreme weather in the future, the climate there will definitely be the enemy of all firearms. The more complex something is, the harder it is to survive in it. In the end, the stabbing sword hanging on the waist is the companion waiting for one's life.

"Of course, the high precision and long effective range of the sniper rifle can blow the enemy's head from several kilometers away. It is not only safe, but also very efficient." It took about ten seconds to reassemble all the parts spread out on the white cloth in front of him. It turned into a ferocious firearm that was more than one meter tall. Kara pointed the muzzle of the gun at Cassia sitting in front of her, simulating the whistle of the bullet shooting out of the spiral pipe with tongues of flame and gunpowder smoke.

"Furthermore, if there is a danger, the distance between you and the target will be at least a few hundred or a thousand meters. How much thinking time can this translate into for us surgeons?" The firearm was still wrapped in a black cloth cover. Go in and put it away lovingly, "The answer is lots and lots."

"Of course you can't understand the thoughts of people like us who cherish our own lives." Kara turned around and sat opposite Cassia, her light blue and light gold eyes staring straight at his face, "Because I have no respect for death. I have too much fear, so I always choose the safest tool for me, and the sniper rifle is the best one."

Cassia echoed the shadow of Kara who had been silent in the car, holding the black cast iron gun body tightly in her arms. The woman in front of her had many past events in her heart that she didn't know about.

"You don't have to keep a straight face, I don't blame you for anything. Everyone must cherish their own life, and no one will take their own life as a joke, no matter who he is. And my situation is just like that It’s just that the love is stronger.”

"Understand?" Kara waved her hand in front of Cassia's eyes, who was sitting upright.

Cassia blinked.

"It's just like you had a cold when you were a child and then developed a high fever. A normal cold is of course just a runny nose. If the body's reaction is too strong, then you have a fever."

"I don't know if this example is good or not. Anyway, that's what it means. Just forget it if you can't understand it. After all, I am a girl who has never even experienced colds and fevers. If I say that I don't know or just listen to what others say to me, I have a somewhat vague feeling about it." Kara was dancing a little, and she suddenly found that she didn't know how to describe what she was talking about.

Seeing Cassia opposite, she still had an indifferent face, and said, "You haven't experienced this, have you?"

The words were somewhat joyful, but also a lot bleak. It was like the joy of seeing someone of the same kind, but there was a completely different emotion included in it. Cassia knew and felt this complex and contradictory emotion strongly.

"No, I had a fever when I was a child. I was admitted to the hospital and received several injections before the reaction in my body subsided. I still remember the fear of injections at that time." Cassia had a sincere expression on her face, " I really envy the care of your big family. Not getting sick was a luxury for us at that time. After all, the doctors in white clothes in the hospital and the smell of potions that permeated the surroundings were scary things to every child, especially under the dazzling lights. Needle."

As soon as she said these words, Cassia already regretted it in her heart, because Kara's expression in front of her had completely changed. It was sadness and fear, coupled with silence like the darkness of the deep sea.

The aura on Kara's body became different from what it was before Cassia blinked.

He thought about what he said over and over again in his mind, wondering where he had said anything wrong. But in just a moment, Cassia felt that Kara had changed again, and her eyes regained their former look.

"This is one of the benefits of being born in a big family." Kara also followed Cassia's example and blinked, "After all, my father is also a post-second-stage surgeon, so I have inherited some of his basic physical fitness. A little bit. And the reaction after the operation is much smaller than that of ordinary people. This can be said to be the benefit of family background. When they were choosing the captain in the car that day, Li and Gustin told him about the twenty-three great princes’ families. The identity here is precisely based on this reason. We are both surgeons, but because our foundations are different, our surgical process and growth are still somewhat faster than yours."

"Do you understand now?" Kara held her face with her hands, with the expression of a good teacher who has been educating a stupid student who cannot write well for a long time.

"Understood." Cassia opened his mouth, feeling a little panicked, even though he didn't understand anything, and there were more and more questions piling up. But Kara's smile was definitely polite. He felt that if he continued to talk, the howl of sniper bullets that Kara often imitated to him would actually become a reality at some point.

"Let's eat first, I'm hungry too." Cassia smelled the fragrance coming in from the door of the room. David said that the old chef's skills were really worth looking forward to.

"Brothers and sisters, daddy has asked you to come over for dinner." At this time, a little girl of several years old also ran over with her bare feet on the cold floor, with a childish look on her face that she didn't understand.

Kara suddenly seemed to be infected by the little girl. In Cassia's eyes, she was definitely very serious. She also took off her shoes, exposing her soft and smooth feet to enjoy the coolness on the cold ground.

"Ah, the desert is really the biggest enemy in my life." She raised her head and shouted in Cassia's ear.

The two people walked step by step following the little girl's footsteps. The corridor was dimly lit by insect lamps. Through the unchanging dark blue sky in the small garden on the right, they could see the various buildings in the brightly lit Gerun Oasis in front of them. .

One of the giant towers decorated with lights stands on the edge of Moon Lake in the center of Gerun Oasis. The searchlight lit at the highest point is guiding people who are lost in the sea of ​​sand to find their way back. That is the tallest building.

"Let David go and take a look down there tomorrow." Carla walked side by side with Cassia and said in Cassia's ear with her face turned sideways.

Their mission has only just begun.
