Steel Steam and Flame

With snowboards, the journey becomes easier next. Still tired, but everyone's mood at least looks good.

"I don't know what's going on there." Inside the snow, the captain of the third team now walked ahead, followed by Cassia and another captain. Time and distance are getting closer, and the three can't help but worry a little. Because almost a whole day has passed since the time of gathering.

The time when Major Barron asked them to gather these teams was set in the time period yesterday.

"I think it should be the same. Maybe we will get there first." The captain of the third team said, "Because of the snowboard, our speed must be the fastest."

"There is a great possibility." Cassia guessed.

As the time approached, the speed of the team dropped several times and the skis were taken off by the veterans. They stopped about a few kilometers away from the assembly point, did a final rest and adjustment, and also checked their equipment status.

"I didn't see anyone." Cassia and the captain of the third team climbed up the tall ancient tree together, and looked at the gentle **** in front that was almost flat at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain with a telescope. "The color of the snow has some influence. It’s too big. Unless you get closer, you can’t see if there are any traces of walking on the ground. The other teams either arrived early or are still on their way."

Without getting any useful information, Xuefeng's main body was pressed ahead, but everything was covered by Baixue and turned into something unknown.

Cassia and the others decided to wait in place. It was still daytime, and the others needed rest. They can also use this time to fully observe that place. Perhaps during this period of time, other teams rushed past. The closer Cassia and the three of them were to the meeting place, the more uncomfortable they felt. The feeling of dullness and breathlessness probably has something to do with the snow peak standing motionless in front.

Now they could see the part of Xuefeng that was blown up. From their perspective, Xuefeng lost a piece of the mountainside abruptly, no longer a natural state, and became an obvious gap. There is the mountain that was bombed during the war.

The veterans cleaned up the snow between a few old trees, and then boiled hot water again. In cold weather, hot water has become a precious thing.

Until the sky began to darken, Cassia and their team continued to set off. Everything is ready. With the current state of the team, it can handle emergencies well.

There is no obvious feature in the assembly place. To find a specific location, you must rely on a small angle formed by the north arrow and the snow peak. Major Barron seemed to have been to Xuefeng before, and he knew the geographical environment very well.

The gentle slopes are also covered with old trees, and there are many still flowing rivers, and their source mostly comes from the snow and ice accumulated on the top of the snow peaks. At the beginning, it took a lot of time to hollow out the mountain to establish the Xuefeng Front Base, and it was precisely this point. Because those huge ice cubes are the guarantee of the water source, water is one of the indispensable things for the normal operation of a base. There must be a lot of water to maintain daily consumption. After the outbreak of the war, this consumption will also show a geometrical increase.

It might be a good way to understand the front base as an efficient and fast water treatment place.

The woods are already very dark, a breeze is blowing, and the snow is not small, but it has never grown.

The team marched towards the destination, only the sound of leaves scraping around, and the faint "creaking" sound of them walking in the snow. It was quiet, everyone consciously entered a state of alert at this time. The air is cold, and every exchange of breath seems to be able to take away all the heat in the body. So everyone reduced the amplitude and frequency of their breathing, and slowly followed the traces of Cassia and the others in the snow.

At this time, the team was divided into three paths, crossed together and moved forward with each other, and the three of Kassia opened the way.

Soon I entered the meeting place. It was a slightly ancient and primitive place. The bark of the ancient trees was all cracked, and the rough appearance seemed to be able to smell the rich historical atmosphere of the mud under my feet through the snow. I can't see the shadows of other teams. The surface of the snow still comes out of a mold, and it has become a wave-like shape in the strong wind not long ago.

Continue to walk for two to three hundred meters, the team dispersed a little here, and went to the woods to see if there were any traces of being covered by heavy snow.

It didn't take long for the other team members to send signals through sign language. There seemed to be something in the snow, and an old soldier touched it with his foot.

Cassia and the other two captains rushed over immediately and swept away the snow. It was a heavy pillar, only half of which was exposed, and the other half was still in the frozen mud. The whole thing feels like it is cast directly with steel, UU reading www. uukanshu.com and the three of them pulled it out together. It was almost half the height of an adult and had an unusual weight.

After sweeping away the small piece of snow, rust formed blocks on the cylinder, and a small part of the surrounding snow was stained rust red.

"The shells that were discarded before?" said the captain, and several other veterans approached and took a look. The appearance is exactly the same as the current shells.

"It's a cannonball, and it's the one with a particularly large caliber." One of them walked over and said, pulling apart the glued rust with his hand, exposing the uneven shell inside, wanting to see if there is any remaining on it. Types of shells. But too long has passed, and the outside of the shell has been completely corroded. The soldier pulled away a large piece of bonded rust, and something fell out immediately, it was the gunpowder that was tightly compacted inside and became concrete fragments.

The surrounding people beat fiercely for no reason. Although the gunpowder that looked like a cement block has completely lost its effect, it will no longer be ignited and explode. But the soldier's face still had an obvious red color. In such a cold weather, sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, and then he was frozen into frost.

"The fuze is already broken, don't be afraid, it won't explode." The others on the side comforted, but there was still a lot of unconfidence in the words.

"I can't see the model. Most shells in the empire look the same, because the production process and process have been fixed a long time ago. You don't recognize the model on the shell, and you can't see the specific information only by the shape." The soldier went on to say, roughly measuring the height of the shells, "After rusting, there is still this height. If it is restored, it will be as high as an average adult. On some medium and large airships, this can also be done. It's the shell of the main gun."rw
