Steel Steam and Flame

The man's mouth was wide open, and his breathing was short and difficult. Every time his chest rose and fell, a large amount of gray-white rotten juice gushed out from the fingers covering his neck.

Those golden and bright red eyes obviously fluctuated back and forth between laxity and concentration, as if a malfunctioning lamp was on the verge of being completely extinguished.

"Ah,,,,,,,," the man made a painful sound, and he became agitated standing at the mouth of the underground waterway. For some reason, Trinya could feel this excitement, even joy. It was like a subconscious reaction when she heard approaching footsteps amidst the sound of rain a few seconds ago and knew someone was coming.

But the man's excitement and joy did not come from himself, Trinya who looked over knew it very well. Because from the time the man's eyes appeared to standing at the opening of the section, there was always an obvious target, the twisted root-like object that he was half lying on.

Trinya was puzzled, and didn't understand why in a very short period of time, he could know some of the man's situation through observation. For her, this was a very strange experience, as if after the man appeared, everything about the man's emotions naturally appeared in her head.

Is it because he has a color similar to the Twisted Tree Root? Subconsciously, Trinya found a temporary answer. The man standing at the entrance of the section, apart from the gray-white rotting liquid gushing from his neck, from the clothes full of holes, he could see the slightly viscous gray-white skin underneath—whitened by the rain, and then drenched in transparent water. The viscous sugar water-like déjà vu.

Trinya didn't know what to do for a while. Whether to continue to call for help, or to wait for the man's follow-up action. She was terrified by what was clearly a pistol in his left hand. She suppressed her choking voice, and also suppressed the trembling of her body in fear, panic and cold.

But the man didn't give her time to continue thinking, and only stayed at the cross section for less than two or three seconds. Excited by seeing the twisted tree roots, the man jumped up on the spot, pushing his body forward with great strength, wanting to come above twisted roots.

Trinya could only stare blankly, thinking about what she should do after the man came to the root of the tree, a dark red straight line suddenly shot out from the dark underground waterway, accurately piercing through the A man in midair. Then, the underground waterway was like a natural trumpet, bringing the sound of roaring explosions to her ears.

The trembling body shrank involuntarily, Trinya's attention was immediately diverted, and she looked at the section of the underground waterway. By the time the gaze returned through willpower, the man in mid-air had already lost his strength, his entire head and most of his neck, and even the fingers of the hand covering his neck were missing.

The corpse fell and fell heavily into the rainwater collected below, splashing a lot of muddy water. After half a breath, Trinya was convinced that she saw a layer of slightly greasy and viscous gray juice spread out in the rainwater, and then quickly mixed with the rainwater.

Multiple footsteps came from the underground waterway again, Trinya bit her lip, not daring to make any sound. She moved her body with difficulty, trying to hide herself under the spreading branches around her. Before there was any obvious movement, the sound of footsteps had come to the entrance of the section.

It was three people, all with guns in their hands, Trinya was sure. She was very scared, but when she saw the signs of the Minkface City Defense Force on the three of them, her fear and fear turned into a roar of joy: "Help! Help me,,," the crying drowned out the following words . There was no response, only a mechanical and indifferent briefing.

"The third team reported that the target has been dealt with. Another root was found, the road surface collapsed, and it has been exposed. Request the fastest camouflage and isolation. A city resident survived. Can the fourth command be activated to carry out,,,, etc. Wait." The team leader among the three stood up straight, and when he spoke to the communicator, his gaze had already fallen on Trinya. The command request was interrupted when he saw the pierced left leg.

"Apply for medical staff! Finished!"

,,,,,,

The period of time when Trinya lost her memory was when she saw the three people with the logo of the Defense Force, and then passed a few breaths again.

She could recall that after she called for help, the three of them stood at the entrance of the section for a few seconds, and then, like the dead man, with an incomprehensible jumping ability, they jumped directly onto the twisted tree roots, bringing a slight shaking feeling.

All three of them wore very formal combat clothing, steel hats and glasses armor, which Trinya had seen in newspapers and books. The team leader showed a little enthusiasm when he approached. At least Trinya remembered that the team leader asked how he was doing, if he felt any discomfort, and told himself not to be nervous. Now try to relax as much as possible. The medical staff will be quick Words like that will come.

It's just that Trinya observes with feminine feelings and delicateness, and also has a little bit of strange sensitivity. She knows very well that the team leader who is approaching, his attention is on his injured leg. For her, including comfort The discourse is more like the routine of the standard template.

And what happened afterwards, Trinya couldn't remember at all. After the team leader approached, perhaps the comforting words really played a role. When the tense mind and body were relieved, he fell asleep naturally? Or did something else happen afterwards?

Trinya didn't know that since then, there was a fault in the memory, and it was not a bad idea to think that she had completely passed out. The memory was connected again, when Trinya felt hot all over and had severe nausea in her stomach.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and retched several times uncontrollably, accompanied by a violent heartbeat and rapid breathing. After a few seconds of relief, the slightly sour smell of the potion, the cool but not glaring light, and the sound of walking footsteps entered the brain, making the mind and body activated together.

"Doctor Punos! Patient No. 37 is awake!" A surprised voice sounded from the side, Trinya felt that the speaker was very close to her, she blinked her glare eyes, and was finally able to let her sight When the blur is gone, the nausea in the stomach also decreases.

She raised her head slightly and looked forward, and found that she was in a tent-style ward, and the person who spoke was a woman. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was at the door, waving to the doctor who was going away. She wanted to sit up, but suddenly realized that she couldn't move at all, her hands, feet, waist, chest,...that was her whole body, her clothes had already been taken off, and she was tied naked on the hospital bed at this moment.

After struggling a few times with strength, Trinya was about to speak, but the woman at the door and the doctor Punos had already walked in, and the two eyes wandered away from her.

"My dear lady, don't be shy and worry, your body is just a humanoid lump of flesh in my eyes." Dr. Punuos guessed Trinya's thoughts at the moment, and spoke first, "I've seen it a lot, and I'm used to it. "As he said, he looked at the woman beside him, "Adena, please prepare the test reagents, we have to do another test. The alliance is still waiting for our data results, hoping to have an answer as soon as possible. After the test, We must continue to report the situation.”

"If there are no results and answers, will this place be abandoned?"

"Of course." Dr. Ponos shrugged his shoulders and replied, "In short, it doesn't matter. We follow Sister Kara. No matter where we go, we always do what we are doing now."
