Chapter 53: Thermite
Chapter 53 Aluminum Fever
The melodious siren interrupted the conversation between Shrike and Lan Jade. Looking at the stunning profile, Shrike's eyes drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The woman in front of you is so mysterious, you think you know her, but it is just a beautiful disguise, just like her code name Blue Emerald, the gorgeous kingfisher soaring in the forest will not be affected by anyone. Caught, it is free, like the wind.
"It looks like our guest has arrived."
Shrike looked out the window, where the whistle came from.
"guest?"
Blue Jade can't figure out who will come to this **** place as a guest, cold and run-down, there are tons of weapons and soldiers, even criminals don't want to touch it here.
"My good detective, Lorenzo Holmes, Kestrel reported by radio before, and he was also in the car."
Looking back at Lan Jade, the shrike said.
"Is it the Lorenzo Holmes I learned about?" Lan Jade asked.
Shrike nodded, affirming Lan Jade's words.
The thought of this detective Shrike gave him a headache. He didn't want to reveal his identity other than the "gang boss". After all, Lorenzo was too smart, and these alone were enough for him to guess a lot.
The next task is still so important. Lorenzo is a dangerous and uncontrollable thing for the Shrike. He is a sharp double-edged sword, and it will cut himself with him if he doesn't use it well.
"So what do you do with him next?"
Lan Jade looked at the direction of the shrike behind.
"Leave it to you, my suggestion is to catch him and stun him immediately, then wrap the iron rope and throw it anywhere. Although you can't kill him, you can toss him for a while."
I have a deep understanding of Lorenzo's difficult shrike. Since he finished his performance and sneaked into the shrike quietly, he was very wary of Lorenzo.
"why me?"
Blue Jade does not understand.
"It's very simple, I don't want to see that crazy." Shrike was disgusted.
"Hmm... Actually I think you have to see him a little bit."
Looking out the window behind Shrike, Lan Jade raised his finger in the dark direction.
Shrike seemed to be aware of something. Turning his head, he saw a burning python galloping along the railroad tracks under the dark night. The white fireworks were dragged by the wind for an extremely long time, like a paintbrush depicting burning on the earth. .
What's more **** than these is that this burning train is still sounding its siren, like a happy Thomas.
"Everyone is moving!"
Following the roar of Shrike in the communication channel, all the soldiers on the abandoned platform moved. As the Radiance approached, the Geiger counter began to make a harsh noise, and the distance between the two continued to narrow. , So the voice became more and more violent and finally turned into a long scream.
...
"It looks like we're there."
Looking at the dim light in the darkness, it was the electric lights on the soldiers' helmets. Kestrel was right. There was indeed a mysterious army here, and now they were ready to meet them.
"No... we have to go back!"
Looking at the burning carriage and the monsters that were constantly pouring up and then dying, the Kestrel remembered something and looked a little flustered.
"What's wrong? With me, they can't get over."
Lorenzo raised his sword and pointed at the burning carriage in front of him. He was extremely confident, but obviously Kestrel said that was not what he said, he roared.
"I mean them! They are carrying new weapons from the Mechanical Yard. We will be sifted when standing on the roof of the car!"
The words did not fall, like the light of daylight hitting the train, this is the strong light from the highest point of the platform, under the light, the twisted monster has nowhere to hide.
Everyone felt a slight suffocation at that moment. It was a dense ant colony of monsters, still burning with white flames, and roaring greedily at the warm flesh and blood creatures.
"Fire!"
That was an order from Commander Shrike.
So all the soldiers raised the new weapons in their hands, to be precise, they were monster weapons.
There was a dense gunshot from where the stars rose, and hundreds of scarlet projectiles brought a trail of blazing flames under the night sky, and came directly here after a short flight.
Lorenzo had almost no time to think. He grabbed the Kestrel and the two jumped out of the carriage. At this time, a large part of the projectile had already arrived in the carriage.
It is a burning bullet, which burns violently when it hits the body of the demon. Unlike Lorenzo’s mysterious pure flame, it seems to be a pure flame, but it can reach the extreme high temperature in an instant.
The people in the carriage also realized the danger. The door opened. The two of them turned in without the slightest pause. Then the barrage pouring out like a rain of fire, fell like acid rain, and then left behind on the solid steel. Melting red crater.
Eve in the carriage grabbed the handrail on one side, she could only hear a sharp howling, and then countless crashing noises came from outside the iron plate of the carriage, one after another, there seemed to be countless craftsmen beating. Carriage.
After a while, the temperature in the compartment began to heat up, and everyone noticed the slight heat.
On the platform not far away, heavily armed soldiers fired at the train. After attacking the carriage for uselessness, the monsters moved their targets to the soldiers on the platform. They roared along the railway, but All died on the road under the intensive fire and rain. Even if a lucky person crossed the line of defense, they would be killed by the silver spear of the Shrike.
The roar of the demon is mixed with the gunfire, like a battlefield in hell.
Wherever the hot projectile goes, whether it is steel or a body, it dissolves under the extreme high temperature.
This is the power of technology. If there is any **** of technology, the soldiers pray to him every time they pull the trigger.
"So what weapon is that?"
Lorenzo wiped the sweat from his forehead in the carriage, and the whole person felt like a survivor. The burning bullet could even melt steel. Once hit, the consequences would be disastrous.
"A work from the Academy of Mechanical Engineering, thermite rifle."
Kestrel was also panting, the air in the carriage was as hot as ever before, and the enclosed space, coupled with the burning car body, had already started some people into a coma.
"You can understand it as a thermite that can be launched. The muzzle is equipped with a igniter. The thermite reaction is completed during the launch process. When it hits the target, it can directly release a large amount of heat energy, even heavy armor can be melted through."
The history of human science and technology is the evolutionary history of a weapon, and its lethality is continuously improved.
"Damn, is this why you won the Glorious War?"
is really a **** of a weapon. Lorenzo didn't know what to say for a while. He knew that the pressure of war would force a country to make progress, but he had never thought that progress would be so rapid.
"No, we only use it to kill demons."
With the sound of the Kestrel in the dark, a metal object pressed against Lorenzo's chest.
"Mr. Holmes, I hope you can cooperate with you next time."
The brothers who were born and died together just now, so the Kestrel jumped upside down, or he was prepared to do so from the beginning.
"It's so ruthless, you would be dead without me."
"One code is one code, I will intercede for you... at least it will make you feel more comfortable when you are under supervision."
The situation changes rapidly.
"So what are you going to do? Do you think ordinary weapons can kill me?"
When Lorenzo ignited the pure flames, he no longer hid anything. The witcher’s glow was released in the night, expelling all the demons. His identity had been exposed, but there was nothing to hide.
"I know, but you are too self-confident. Is it because of the blood secret technique of the Demon Slayer?"
Kestrel stared at Lorenzo's reaction in the dark. He thought Lorenzo would be emotionally fluctuating, angry or shocked, but there was nothing. He maintained absolute sanity.
"It looks like you know a lot."
He didn't care about the exposure of his identity.
"Yes, unlike the Order, we don't have the miraculous blood secret technology, so we can only work hard to develop technology, and this is our product. Even without the secret blood, we can still fight against demons."
"Are you showing off?"
"No, I just want you to be honest."
Lorenzo did not resist, he kept a subtle silence, as if thinking about something, until the girl stood up holding the revolver.
"It looks like we have maintained a dangerous balance."
Eve combed the sweat-soaked hair to the back of her head, and lifted the silver-white revolver on the back of Kestrel's head.
In her opinion, this car is an inexplicable person. It does not have the mark of Inervig's army, but it has deadly munitions, and they are also connected with demons, which makes Eve have to be wary.
After that crazy night, she was like a young deer in the forest, chased by a group of hunters from the dark. Except for Lorenzo, Eve will not believe anyone for a short time.
"So everyone can put the gun down and talk about it together?"
At this time, Lorenzo said helplessly, the temperature in the cabin had not yet dropped, and every word felt exhausted.
"You can actually talk outside."
Another voice sounded, and the heavy iron door opened from the outside, and the cold wind poured in from it so that the sweaty people could not fight a cold war.
The man didn't wear a mask, his expression was abrupt, and he stood outside the gate with a weapon in his hand. Behind him was the burning and messy battlefield.
Lorenzo stunned for a moment, and then said something bashfully.
"Shrike, I always thought you were wearing a mask because you are too ugly. It's okay to look at it this way!"
Shrike didn't seem to be in the mood to take care of Lorenzo, he gritted his teeth and whispered.
"I really don't want to see you here, Lorenzo Holmes."
