Steel Steam and Flame

"I have discussed this issue with the captain not long ago." The correspondent replied, "The source of the interference came from the enemy, and it lasted for so long, and the range is extremely wide. With the sensitivity of the machines in the volcano base, even if it is not within his inspection range Here, but there are still a few hours now, and we also think that the base side should have noticed it early."

"The source of this interference is also a signal. It can be tracked, and it is the easiest to catch. The base should be easy to deal with." The voice of the communicator was puzzled, "but for now This is the fact that there is no reaction on the base side. Maybe something else happened that delayed this side?" He thought so.

"Our thoughts are basically the same." The captain agreed. "The volcanic base was captured. It is impossible in peacetime. Although many bases have been destroyed by the enemy in the history of the empire, they were all during the war and now. There is no relationship at all at this moment. The place we are going next may be one of the abandoned bases. We must gather there."

The correspondent looked over and said, "Is there Xuefeng? I miss the place."

The captain cast a strange look, and became a little interested in the fact that the correspondent knew the name "Xuefeng".

"A few years ago, there was a big review of a senior official in the base. Xuefeng was a transfer station for that senior official at that time, and many things that had not had time to sell were all stored there. There was one. A hundred-person mercenary team was guarding. I was one of them when I was going to clean up." The correspondent explained when he saw the captain's eyes.

"It was indeed there. At the time, the high-ranking officer was still making a lot of trouble at the base. Almost everyone knew about it and didn't know how he would end up." The captain exclaimed at this time, "Xuefeng is the nearest to here. , Is also a landmark location known to several other captains. The communication machine is not available now, we can only leave a mark on the route we have walked, and when they see it, they will all gather towards Xuefeng. Maybe we can be on the road. Encountered one or two teams."

After listening to the captain's words, Cassia found an impression in his head. The other night he had made up some knowledge about the surroundings of the volcano base. Xuefeng is the predecessor of the volcano base. It was produced a hundred years ago and was destroyed in the war. Most of the mountain used for defense has been blown up, and it no longer has the advantage of terrain as a base. So after the war subsided, the entire base underwent a major relocation and became the current volcano base.

"There are still many old machines in the abandoned base that have not been moved out. I don't know if those things will still function normally. And we will be able to get there in about three or four days if we move forward at our current speed. Far away.” The captain continued, “According to the tracking results of No. 3 and No. 11, the ruins of Xuefeng Base are included in the general direction of the traces left by the enemy. I also heard from the correspondent just now, causing interference. The signal machine does not need to be large, but it is not something that a person can run in the mountains with his back. There should always be several fixed positions."

The captain looked at Cassia and the communicator next to him and whispered: "You can feel it too, the number of enemies is not a small number, and they are from the Far Sea Common Nations, so..."

"They can come to our side from the border of the common country of far seas. They don’t have any other options besides taking an airship. Building a railway line on the front is a very eye-catching thing, and they can’t repair the railway line to it. Here in the empire. The train is absolutely impossible." The communications officer continued with the captain's words, but seemed to say something unconnected, "It's impossible for the airship to land in the front belt. The front line has a wide field of vision and is easy to spot. Therefore, the captain thought that the enemy's airship was likely to be parked in Xuefeng’s abandoned base. There were no other destroyed bases around, but the closest to the volcano base seemed to be Xuefeng.”

"Probably that's the idea, it's a kind of trace left by the enemy." The captain nodded, "There is no progress, but you can't just go back to the volcano base. I'm going to try my luck there, and by the way, I will be with others. The teams converged. We continued to spread apart, and as the distance from the base of the volcano increased, the danger increased exponentially."

Because of what happened around ten in the morning, everyone did not get enough rest. At this time, the captain slowed down a bit and the number of rests increased significantly. When the sky darkened, there was a strong wind in the mountains, and the action became more difficult. Because of the headwind, every step will take more physical effort. There is also a gentle upward **** in the general direction of the current course. In one night, there is not much distance actually going forward.

The next morning, the wind still didn't stop. Cassia and the others climbed over a mountain range, and their vision suddenly became extremely broad.

Now, they are halfway up a mountain range, surrounded by dense ancient pine forests, and the ground is covered with pine cones the size of adult fists. There are no signs of human activity ~www.ltnovel.com~Only the oldest plants.

The Xuefeng mentioned by the captain and the communicator could also be clearly seen from the front right of the team. It was a few high mountains around the base of the volcano, and the dark gray clouds stopped halfway up the mountain. The snow peaks were completely submerged in the deep clouds, and no shadows were visible.

The wind began to be mixed with ice particles, and there was a slight pain on the face. The temperature dropped a few degrees overnight, and it won’t take long before it really snows. It will definitely be a blizzard closing the mountain, and the extremely stressful clouds in the sky indicate that something like that will happen soon.

The mood of a group of team members also began to become like the clouds in the sky, breathless. The heavy snow in the mountains will have a great impact on their actions, and more importantly, food. The high-energy food in the rucksack only lasts for five days. After five days, they will have to find a way to survive in the mountains. For a group of veterans, this was originally a very simple thing, but the premise is that there is no snow in the mountains.

"It's been a long time since I saw the shadow of snow here at the volcano base. In previous years, it only floated down a little symbolically. This year is really an abnormal start." The captain sighed, but was not surprised. He knew that the red star was coming, and it would be normal for the local weather to become strange. According to historical records, every time a red star comes, it is the result of its influence.
