Creator's Steam Fairy

"Shoulder."

Luria got up from the blanket on the ground, rubbed her right shoulder and said aggrievedly, "It hurts."

Moreover, her head was pressed against the rifle, and the sound of shooting was especially loud, shaking her head dizzily.

I didn't expect this weapon to give myself a shot before hitting the enemy... Yes, it's the one called the gun stock.

"Just get used to it."

Who didn't start from the pain in the arm and couldn't lift it? Alice, who was inexplicably happy, said with a blank face: "Don't worry about the sound coming out. Even if you miss the bullet and let the bullet fly out, it will really make people notice." The sound I heard was also blocked by the barrier...Since you are pestering me to teach you, then show a proper learning attitude."

Under the terrified eyes of Loria, Alice pushed out a whole box of 20 7.7mm rifle bullets.

"I want to rest!"

"You can rest as you like, you must practice twenty bullets today."

Facing Fenmao, he blinked his big eyes and put on a pitiful little expression like an abandoned small animal.

Alice, who was defeated by Xiao Fenmao's naughty tricks in the wooden sword showdown last night, didn't feel any sympathy... She still clearly remembered how this Fenmao Xiao Hundan suddenly grabbed the sword with a sweet smile and moved towards her. Use the upper pick to attack in the next three ways.

Alice will never be deceived by her appearance again.

But those watery blue eyes seem to be able to speak, with a bit of disappointment, and a bit of anticipation and pleading that people can't bear to refuse.

"Okay, at least ten rounds."

In the end...it was impossible to be ruthless.

"Great!"

Loria jumped up happily. It was better to be hit ten times than twenty times.

Besides, who knows what will happen in the future... maybe it will become five...three...

"Add two rounds of revolving fire."

Alice tried to find a way for herself.

"Good talk, good talk."

Luo Liya simply nodded and agreed. Compared with the rifle, practicing the revolver couldn't be easier.

Amidst the occasional gunshots, Abigail, who was rooted in the kitchen, only focused on studying how to make simple food into more tricks.

Although today's ingredients are still plentiful, but planning ahead is the way to win for a personal maid.

The wild silver-haired woman came from nowhere, but she was just a passer-by who didn't even need to remember her name.

The person Miss needs most must be her.

……

On the third day after entering the wilderness, at noon, under the scorching sun, the captain of the cavalry, who was a little peeled from the sun, ordered his men to feed the last bit of fodder to the horses.

The soldiers who were scouting forward reported that they found the target in the direction of the broken plateau, and the cavalry who had been on the edge of the wilderness had also returned.

The first batch of follow-up support, the infantry squad carrying a large amount of supplies, fuel and machinery has entered the wilderness and is being repaired.

He recalled the terrain along the way for a moment, and then chose the place where he was stationed at the moment as the recommended site for the camp site survey... The infantry would not listen to his orders, but presumably they would not reject this place—although the stream is small, it is still There is a big pond that holds water, the water doesn't flow very well, but it doesn't go bad like a stagnant pond... no downsides except that the water always smells of soap.

"Go back and direct the infantry here to set up a temporary camp."

The captain glanced at the four cavalrymen under his command, ordered one casually and said, "After bringing the infantry here, add five more rations and ten horse fodder to join us."

Although the little girls were able to run by accident, judging from his rich experience in field survival and reconnaissance—driving such a clumsy, high-energy-consuming broken car, they should be running out of fuel and food.

Catch them within a day or two.

"Go! Go to the pond and drink enough water, fill all three water bags, and continue chasing after 10 minutes!"

In the hot wilderness with no shelter, it is necessary to replenish water as much as possible.

……

Although her shoulder hurts, Miss Loria is in a very good mood at the moment.

After a full day of study, she was able to skillfully pull the bolt and eject the cartridge; she could lazily lie in the hut and take a nap at noon, and the mountains in early July were very cool at night; Abby made honey tea The handicrafts are becoming more and more exquisite; the chocolate jars hidden under the bed are full of chocolates... the good mood keeps adding up, and even the hot and dry summer in Jambia becomes brighter.

For a long time, Miss Loria, who hadn't had to suffer from traveling, happily leaned on the deck chair and watched the stars.

Mr. Angus had told her that, save for the few brightest stars that were named, every twinkle of starlight was a distant world.

Luria stretched out her left hand towards the starry sky... Looking back now, when he said this, his tone and expression were very complicated.

It was an expression she couldn't understand, and it was also an emotion she couldn't understand.

She asked Miss Estella, and the Juggernaut, who appeared to be in his 20s, only said disdainfully: 'It's just the sigh of a young man'

She asked Iris, and Iris smiled and cut watermelon for her to eat.

She had asked about sisters Sasha and Flora, and the grumpy elder sister Sasha rarely beat her, but always looked at her younger sister Flora with a sticky smile, and the smile became more sticky.

She can't get along with these two sisters... Ah, I really want to eat watermelon duck.

Chapter 44 Cold Wave

"I'm a little out of breath, what is the approximate location here?"

Loria looked up and looked straight up. The not-so-straight spiral staircase made her eyes dizzy, and she couldn't judge the distance at all.

For three days, she practiced guns with Alice in the early morning and evening, and at night she lay on the deck chair in the yard chatting with Abigail or watching the stars.

As for the day, it is naturally invested in the great construction.

She has become more and more proficient at digging stairs, and she can even dig out handrails and railings without prior calculations—it's a bit rough, and it can't be done to a very fine level for the time being, but it's enough.

First break down the stones to make a big hole, and then reserve the position of the railing along the wall of the hole, and dig the stairs in a rotating way. It is much safer than climbing up, but the workload is also greater.

She carefully controlled the magic to dig out the rough outlines at the front, and Alice followed closely, leveling the large stones with steel drills and hammers and reminding Loria of the direction of construction.

Abigail followed far behind, using a chisel to carefully modify the sharp water chestnut protrusions to prevent cuts after the patio was put into use.

The three of them, who had been bored since the next day, devoted themselves to this completely unnecessary work during the day.

Pass the time and exercise your body by the way.

Fortunately, Luria's magic solved the waste problem, and she could easily use the magic force field to sweep away the remaining dust.

Even so, the three of them were a little disheartened—anyway, magic can solve this problem.

Alice put down the tools, put on the goggles, and took out a triangular ruler to compare in front of her.

"It's about 15 meters away from the peak, almost halfway there."

Alice wasn't too sure, she didn't feel stuffy, but to be on the safe side, let's start ventilating.

After confirming the direction of the outer wall of the mountain, she used a hammer to drive the steel drill into the rock wall, and then gave way to Loria.

Controlling the scope of the magic to the minimum, it didn't take long for the little pink hair to break down the rock wall into a hole with a diameter similar to that of the big sweet orange.

She squinted her eyes and looked in, and the light shone through.

Alice's calculation of the direction is probably accurate. This place is only three or four meters away from the outer shell of the mountain, within her magic range.

Loria looked up at the sloping passage again, a little worried that the mountain would be dug down.

[Don't worry, I won't]

The mountain is steep and solid, and it is still almost vertically dug down. Didn't you play with sand when you were a child?

On the contrary, if it is not reinforced when excavating horizontally to the outside after hitting the bottom, it is very likely that... it will not collapse immediately, but scary cracks will appear.

This inexplicable ancient relic actually rushed to answer?

But Loria doubts its level of knowledge. What do magic tools know?

She turned to Alice and Abigail and asked, "Is it really not going to landslide?"

"It's okay...", "No."

One knows a little about mathematics and architecture, and the other often helps people dig cellars in the countryside, watch people dig wells, and drill for minerals.

OK.

Luo Liya nodded and continued to work. Anyway, she would explode the mountain wall and slip out as soon as the situation was not good.

The magic force field can't make her fly, but a little buffer is enough.

……

Sixth day into the wilderness.

The rattling arrows and smokewood were running low.

Some sporadic signs of man-made terrain changes were found - who was so bored to drive large excavation equipment to the Broken Plateau... No, it might be caused by the trampling of the cargo steam monster, but did the cargo route pass through this area?

The broken plateau makes it difficult for horses to move forward, and they often have to go around a long way in the search process... The fodder brought back by Qingqi is exhausted, and the hungry horses can only rely on a small amount of dry grass in the wilderness to satisfy their hunger. the role of the.

Those damned infantry haven't brought up the supplies yet, and they even gave up searching now, only daring to eat a third of the rations, collecting hay and looking for water sources everywhere hungry.

Even so, there will be no food tomorrow.

Do you want to retreat?

Will all previous efforts be wasted?

Where did the three women hide?

In order to speed up, they didn't even bring tents, so they could only sleep on the spot wrapped in blankets around the fire at night.

Physical strength has been impaired, and the body has begun to become weak, making it difficult to perform at its best.

In the most critical moment, horses can be slaughtered for a while, but... Unlike those experimental materials, these horses are comrades-in-arms who accompany them day and night.

They didn't deserve to die in a hunt that should have been easy.

Are you looking in the wrong direction?The cavalry captain couldn't help feeling a little suspicious... He didn't believe that the three girls could cross the Broken Plateau and reach the mountain within a few days.

Just when he was hesitating about whether to continue the search or retreat to ensure supplies.

In the distance, black smoke from the burning of tobacco wood rises.

found it!

Squeezing horsepower again, the cavalry scattered in all directions galloped towards the direction where the black smoke rose one after another.

……

so tired.

Today, I hit the ground ten meters deep in one breath, and my head became dizzy.

Using magic power to clean up the dust on the three of them, she shivered as she climbed out of the patio.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and the wind on the mountain became stronger. Luria, who was wearing a short skirt and short socks, couldn't bear it any longer. She quickly hid in the hut and wrapped a thick blanket around her body.

It finally got better... The three of them each added some clothes, and after dinner, the temperature dropped again, the howling wind blew across the mountains, making hollow calls, and the open windows of the hut were blown wildly by the wind. .

Loria quickly activated the highest-level defensive barrier, and the sound of the wind receded along with the resonance that made her brain ache, and finally saved a large area of ​​flowers in the garden in time.

But the enchantment couldn't stop the loss of temperature, so they had to light the fireplace, each wrapped in a blanket, kneel and sit by the fireplace to keep warm, read a book, and drink tea.

……

As the evening approached, the five scouting cavalry gathered together again, and they finally found a clear trace of the target - around the half-burned firewood, there were scorched marks and shallow fixing holes made by the fixed tent.

It is unavoidable to remind people that the three girls who have no common sense of survival in the wild did not make a good campfire, and the burning firewood rolled around in the strong wind, igniting the tent, and they had to give up the camp in a panic at night and flee again... See The direction is to cross the narrow section of the Broken Plateau and head towards the mountains in the southwest.

A dirty cloth bag was also pulled down on the ground, and when I opened it, it was half a bag of hard dried meat and oats.

They are a little differentiable, not spoiled, but not very well preserved.

This made the cavalry captain confirm his guess even more. They were so panicked that they even left their rations alone-in any case, being able to escape to this level can be called firm-willed.

And a firm will is a good quality that can prolong the life of the experiment... It is said that the stronger the will, the better the experimental effect will be when it collapses.

Even better, they were able to eat a full meal from the dry rations they captured.

Everyone had a little smile on their face, maybe it was because they hadn't eaten any jerky for two days, they felt that the dry food they picked up was extremely delicious, and even had a vague fruit fragrance—at this moment It's like being in a citrus orchard.

It smells really good.
