Steel Steam and Flame

The outside landscape changed again, and all traces disappeared in the blizzard, only a piece of smooth snow was left, and after the snow clouds had dissipated, it appeared brighter. The cold wind is still a bit, not too big, and the last lingering breath will probably cease completely before dark.

Looking at the long traces left in the snow behind him, Cassia turned his gaze to Ye Jielin again and stood still.

"What's the matter?" Ye Jielin walked over, taking off her mask and panting.

"It's nothing, just thinking about the assessment." Cassia retracted his gaze and replied while moving on.

Several hours after the blizzard stopped, the two took their chosen weapons and equipment and left the cave. There was silence all around, and the "creaking" of the snow could spread far and wide. In the last two days in the cave, Ye Jielin finally made up his mind not to participate in the competition for places.

The female intuition on which she believed became stronger and stronger, and later became a signal that Ye Jielin could not erase, which greatly affected her judgment. The panic that hasn’t been seen for a long time also came to her at this moment. I always feel that something bad will happen, but intuition is usually just a guiding signal, and Ye Jielin didn’t get it from the thoughts full of head The answer wanted.

What will leave itself? Or does it feel that a life-threatening danger is approaching? Walking behind Cassia, Ye Jielin looked a little distracted, and often couldn't keep up. She was still recalling the previous decision, when she focused on things nearby, and there was no one else besides Cassia.

She understood that if she wanted to compete for a spot, she would not rely on herself, but on the side of Cassia. Does it mean that Cassia will be in danger? No matter what she thought, Ye Jielin couldn't get around this ring, so she gave up the pre-assessment plan at that time. Now that this intuition appeared, she would never let Cassia take risks. Compared with the quota, the living Cassia is much more important.

They had moved forward for a few hours. In the afternoon, the two had left the original mountain peak, and the straight route took them to an outer mountain peak farther away from the center. I met many examiners who had evacuated here, most of them were silent, not knowing whether it was the snowstorm that shattered their ideas, or what else made them see their own position.

It is rare to be safe, and being far away from the central area seems to mean a tacit understanding of no more fighting. On the way, they just glanced at each other when they met, and then went forward again.

The second-class creatures also disappeared at this time, strangely. Has it completely converged towards the central area? Cassia would look back at her from time to time. The bright light and breezy weather made her vision wider than ever, and she could see a very long distance. A dozen peaks overlapped behind her, like a standing icy throne, waiting for the final victory. Appeared. All signs are showing that the 36 ferocious creatures are about to emerge. One of the signs is that the second-class creatures begin to gather purposefully.

Soon after, the terrain began to rise and came to the foot of the mountain. The snow thinned a bit, and the hard rock was stepped on. The examiners gathered one by one at the foot of the mountain. After losing something, they became inactive. The blizzard froze something, making them look like weeds dropped by frost, as well as their color.

Passing through the crowds with Ye Jielin, the two continued to walk along the foot of the mountain. It is not absolutely safe here either, Cassia wants to take Ye Jielin to the outermost mountain peak, where the risk factor is the smallest.

"It's okay to think about how to get out then." Cassia thought to herself.

After walking through the arc-shaped distance at the foot of the mountain in half an hour, an open and slightly raised exposed rock platform appeared in the eyes of the two. It has naturally become a gathering place for people. Whether it is people who withdraw from the center or the team from the outer area toward the center, they all regard this as a temporary resting place and a place to collect corresponding information.

About two thousand people stayed here, and the buzzing sound spread out from the center. Ye Telin pulled Cassia, who wanted to hurry up immediately, onto the rock and quickly entered the crowd. There was a large group of people obviously gathered under a steep rock, watching something there.

In his field of vision, there were a dozen alloy frames used to detain second-class creatures. Someone moved them and piled them under the steep rocks. People seem to be observing those things.

"I don't think there will be any useful information here." Cassia said, in his opinion, in the current time period, there is no threat to him in the outer area.

"Just take a break," Ye Jielin replied. At this time, like most people around, she didn't take off her mask to make her voice accentuate. "Look over, there seems to be something hanging on the stacked alloy frames. ."

Walking ahead, but tens of meters away, in front of the steep rock, Ye Jielin could see the whole picture of the alloy frame. Used as a support, a dozen large frames were stacked on both sides separately and fixed on the rock. Put up between the brackets, holding an alloy rope, and things hang on the alloy rope.

At first glance, there are more than a dozen hard ice cubes. When you squint your eyes and remove the influence of light reflected by the edges and corners of the ice cubes, you can clearly see the frozen corpses in the ice cubes. Like amber, the sword wound on the corpse and the hole shot out by the gun are clearly visible, and the expression at the time of death is also completely captured and preserved.

At this time, Ye Jielin noticed that there was a row of faint words on the rocks behind the dozen corpses, which were written by firecrackers. After a blizzard, the rocks were erased a bit, making it harder to see. Only the few characters visible in the series of numbers, and the last piece of gear logo like the sun, it is not difficult for Ye Jielin to think of something. That is the logo of the Leonard family.

Ye Jielin turned around and found Cassia standing in the same place ten meters away. When she came to the side, Cassia retracted her gaze to look at the corpses and fell on Yejielin instead.

"Does the big family do things like this?" Cassia asked without emotion, "I mean some people inside, a few people. I don't know them at all, but I met on the way, and we were on the road for less than half a day. The only message It is the names of two of them, one is Naemi and the other is Lucius."

Cassia once again looked up at the two corpses hung in the middle: "They are all small families~www.readwn.com~ They also said that after the assessment, they have the opportunity to visit them."

Ye Jielin followed Cassia's gaze and saw that Na'e fans and Lucius were both shot through their heads. I deliberately used a small-caliber pistol with little power, so that the hole on the forehead was very clear, and it would not be exploded by bullets.

"As you think, only a few people, but a few people. Many people don't do this, and there is still a basic bottom line. But there are too many people in the big family. To ensure continuity, the younger generation is even more so. .Because the upper class know that many younger generations will be lost as they grow up, so their base is large enough."

"Do you need my help? You used to be by my side, but now you can be seen as me by your side. Now it is in the assessment. It is very likely that all members of the Leonard family will die during the assessment. As for the assessment, I will try my best to help you deal with it."

"After the assessment?" Cassia murmured, and then, under the mask, a voice that seemed to be jokingly laughed suddenly, "Whether it is during the assessment or after the assessment, I think they can only rely on This is a way to express my pitiful feelings."
