I don’t know if it’s the right decision, but if I have the opportunity to leave these invisible help, it may play an unexpected role at some time in the future, Cassia thought before taking a break. Until now, the improvement of his understanding and knowledge has made him understand more and more.
What a behemoth a force or family that is deeply rooted in the empire will be. It is a complete structural system, like an ecology that is completely connected from top to bottom. The person who stands at the top and holds the control does have huge power.
But fortunately, there is more than one such family force in the empire, and Cassia doesn’t know why she feels lucky. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that countless possibilities can be created in their cracks. Otherwise, when the empire becomes a piece of iron
It is so stable that germs eroding from top to bottom will infect everything it belongs to in an instant.
That was a terrifying state and scene. Cassia breathed out a breath, cleared these irrelevant thoughts and entered a semi-sleep state.
"Are you still there?" Not far away, Lucius asked Na'e Mi with the touch of his fingers. The two of them were destined to not be able to rest well. In such an open area without any cover, the two of them really couldn't imagine what would happen.
How to deal with danger. All hopes are on Cassia. From the fact that he simply blocked the snake with his forehead and caused it to be killed by his own ejection force, it can be seen that Cassia's strength is better than theirs.
A lot.
"I don't know." Although her eyes were closed, Na'e's eyes kept rolling. They didn't know Cassia's temper, so they didn't dare to disturb her. After all, if they had other ideas, they didn't resist at all.
Strength, "cannot feel body temperature."
Na'e Mi kept trying, but the only things she could feel were Lucius and herself beside her.
"Can his body remain inactive for a long time? Even if the body temperature can be controlled, it cannot last for such a long time. It must return to normal within a certain period of time to supply basic heat to various organs in the body. But,
,," Falling into the unanswered conjecture, Na'e's fan recalled the information that her family had read, but none of it could be used on Cassia. I don't know how long it lasted, but my head finally couldn't hold on, and the accumulation of blood in my body
The fatigue also swelled with a strange feeling of relief. The two of them took a rest one after another, and the remaining sensations remained about ten meters away from their bodies.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Na'emi and Lucius woke up. The surroundings were still dark and they couldn't see anything at all. They could only rely on the sound of breathing to confirm that there were other people around.
Panic and fear of the darkness made them have no idea of lying down again. "I will call you tomorrow morning." After receiving such a promise, the two of them still felt unreliable. They knew that if Cassia wanted to leave, she could do it before them.
Disappear quietly without being noticed.
"Mr. Tussos?" Na'emi called out softly, but there was no response. Lucius reached for his backpack at this time, trying to take out high-energy fuel to light it.
"Continue to rest, the light is still too weak." Cassia saw Lucius's movement and interrupted it in time, "Don't try to create light in the dark. A little light can be detected by creatures and examiners far away."
catch."
Seeing the two of them sitting still, Cassia said comfortingly: "Don't worry about me leaving alone. The route is the same. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't mind if you follow me."
It was already three hours after they set off. In the gray-black world, Na'emi and Lucius kept their bodies tense. A slight delay in their steps could make them lose Cassia's figure in a few seconds.
The journey turned into a tug-of-war of physical strength. Even if they followed the traces left by Cassia, after two or three hours, white smoke gradually emitted from their bodies. On the other hand, looking at Cassia in front, Nae's sensory network
, there are still only cold colors representing cold environments.
"Monster." Na'e's fan had already made a conclusion in her mind.
Cassia walked in front, and the black shadow of the mountain peak was getting closer and closer. The black and white mountain was like the scars left by the wind and snow on its body, with a cold and harsh atmosphere. The traces in the snow gradually became closer as the distance from the mountain peak became closer.
There are more and more. Frozen corpses of second-category creatures appear frequently, but there are still more examiners.
Passing by a battlefield, there was a melee between dozens of assessors and a group of second-category creatures. The corpses were frozen into ice statues and remained in place. The affected area was close to one thousand meters. I don’t know if they were surrounded or actively besieged. They avoided it.
On that battlefield, Cassia slowed down a bit at this time, because several gunshots could be heard from time to time. Any mountain peak was a gathering place for examiners, and battles would become more frequent here.
"Pay more attention to your surroundings." Cassia said to Na'emi and Lucius. He expected to reach the foot of the mountain in an hour or two after noon. He didn't know what he would encounter on the way. But the second-type creatures will consciously move here.
The gathering is certain, and the Imperial Council will not let the assessors hide.
Ever since she could see the blurry black shadow of the mountain peak, Na'emi has been spreading her temperature perception to its maximum range. She wanted to do something to help the current team that was not a team. Everyone should be able to use their own abilities to
She considered that the survival rate of the three people would increase a little. But looking at the man who had been silent for a long time in front of her, she thought that her idea was unreliable.
While thinking this, Lucius on the side pulled her. Following Lucius' gaze, Cassia had already signaled to them to stop with her hands behind her back, and at the same time, she naturally drew out her pneumatic sword.
There is something more than eight or nine meters buried in the snow on the left front. The ubiquitous sound makes Cassia almost no blind spots in this environment. If possible, he can also "see" under the ice.
Scenery about ten meters deep.
Na'e was as confused as Lucius, but she also felt fear. Because they couldn't feel anything, under this vast white snow, they were patients suffering from snow blindness. Apart from the dazzling white, they could no longer see anything.
Other things exist.
And just as they were sighing, a sharp air explosion sounded, and the two of them saw that the calm snow on the left front was instantly divided into a channel, and a solid white shadow faced the channel at the same time.
The impact passed. The next moment, amid the piercing screams, a long and bright tongue suddenly appeared and was cut in half. The flat lizard, less than half a meter high, immediately jumped up from the snow. The contrast between the four bodies was inevitable.
The foot that was too small almost spun around, leading it to run away quickly.
At the same time, several people jumped out of the snow behind them. They immediately raised their guns and attacked fiercely. They did not stop shooting until the chameleon's body froze into ice and was broken into pieces by bullets.
"Thank you!" Several people behind him saw Cassia put away the pneumatic sword, and then they came over and said. They had been squatting in the snow for several hours.
Shaking her head, Cassia continued on her way, but unknowingly, the small team grew again. The five people who had just been surrounded by the chameleon also followed. Soon after, Cassia met others
The team of assessors rushed to the foot of the mountain. It seemed to be the default rule. They were all far apart and each followed their own route.
After noon, under the pressure, Cassia could already see the sharp edges and corners of the dark mountain peaks. On a small open mountain rock with not much snow, probably close to a thousand people gathered there peacefully, each waiting.
He waited for his team members to arrive. The atmosphere was a bit stiff, but it was better than not being violent.
This is the outermost mountain peak in the assessment area, and the fact that they would choose to gather here largely shows that most of these people will be foils for others. It is indeed difficult for the small families and small forces in the empire to spawn those who attack the solid barriers of the four forces.
Even if there is strength, it will be seriously insufficient in quantity. (To be continued)
