It was about six hours from the station to the assessment area, and after glancing at the other people in the car, Kasia closed her eyes again. The rear door had been frozen in ice and snow, and under a flickering lime lamp, only the white breath of about thirty people snorted regularly, foreseeing that the group of people who had all been silent was still alive.

The snowmobiles were comparable to small trucks, one that could carry thirty-five examiners and the various weapons they carried. The engine, which shook violently and roared from time to time, informed them that the road was not in good shape. From time to time, the sound of the tip of a snowmobile hitting a solid block of ice can be heard, but no one opens their eyes, and the atmosphere and environment are so normal that it drops below freezing.

Kasia's spirit was highly concentrated and excited at this time, and the inductive force field drove the blood to burn, and he couldn't feel the cold at all.

When the people in this carriage opened their eyes one after another, a window in front of the carriage was pushed open heavily, revealing the co-pilot with frost on his eyebrows: "It is expected that in ten minutes, all snow vehicles will arrive outside the edge of the assessment area, I will not talk about the rules, the handle on the door of the carriage is not locked, and it can be opened on the board." Please be prepared to choose your own time and place of drop-off. By the way, I'm here to tell you that the speed of this car will stay within a range and will not slow down when someone gets off. Of course, attacking the delivery vehicle will be disqualified as soon as possible. ”

Without waiting for others to ask, the co-pilot closed the small window. Ten minutes later, perhaps not so long, the snowmobile started up with the sound of a long-dragging car horn. Everyone closed their eyes again, and their senses immediately dispersed, all measuring the approximate speed of the vehicle to estimate their exact time to get out of the car.

It was already dark outside, and there was a small window behind everyone for them, but nothing could be observed, and the peaks that were used as reference were all hidden in the darkness at the moment. This situation is surprising to many people, and in the case of a random vehicle, the distance calculated by perception will not be very accurate. Kasia noticed that the speed of the vehicle was indeed within a range, but it was controlled by the two drivers and kept changing irregularly. This makes it difficult to grasp the drop-off location from the map.

Five hours later, the first person silently opened the door and jumped out of the car. The number of people in the carriage gradually decreased, and at two o'clock in the morning, Kasia got up from his seat and jumped into the snow.

After landing on the ground, he rolled to the side, and he immediately controlled his body temperature and froze in place. The sound of snowmobiles is fading away, and in the windless night, the ripples of sound that spread out layer by layer act as another pair of eyes.

Without anyone following, Kasia looked around at almost the same darkness and, with an excellent sense of direction, walked towards the place where she had buried the iron box.

Category 2 creatures will begin to release a few hours after all personnel have decided to get out of the car, and now, presumably, there are several large communication airships hovering in the sky above that layer of black clouds, receiving all the signals released by the many snowmobiles.

The aid of sound reflection ripples allowed Kasia to move forward at a very impressive speed, without the impact of a blizzard, and only the "creaking" sound of snow in the quiet night. With a break every hour, Kasia was in no hurry to get on the road.

While on the road, Kasia often opened the lid of her mechanical watch to check the time. About seven hours later, when he was about to leave again, he finally saw the other assessors appear. The darkness had only subsided a little, but the line of sight was still trapped within a meter or two of the surrounding area.

It was about eight or nine hundred meters away from him, almost reaching the limit of the sound ripples that Cassia could perceive. Body temperature is always kept at a safe temperature, and the darkness of the night and waist-deep snow can be fatal to catch someone in ambush.

Choosing to wait for the man to leave, Kasia buried herself in the snow and "watched" the man silently move in another direction. It was slow, and Kasia felt that he had discovered something, so he sped up the frequency of the sound and probed around him.

Remaining motionless and lurking in the snow, Kasia noted how often he met the examiner. When I was thinking like this, I felt the edge, but the person who was moving forward suddenly stopped moving. In about six seconds, a dull sound of gunfire swept through the thick snow and reached Kasia's ears.

"A temperature-aware sniper. Kasia said to herself. It took about ten minutes for the sniper to come into range of sound detection and reach the dead man. Probably trying to find out if there is anything that can be used on the corpse, among the large number of assessors, many of them were born into big families, and they brought some special weapons and equipment.

A minute later, Kasia "saw" the sniper start moving, just as cautiously, perhaps unable to let go of the silencer-equipped sniper rifle. The night was so quiet that the creaking of snow could become a noise in a place.

Raising the fire in the snow, Kasia once again controlled his body temperature: "If the direction does not change, according to his speed, we will reach the nearest position in about half a minute, about three hundred meters." The ripples of sound in his head were delicate and even, and Kasia observed the man's movements and reactions, and the muzzle of the gun had already locked onto the sniper's body, and when he sensed that something was wrong, the half-pressed trigger could instantly send the bullet out. There was no wind, no snow, and the traces of progress in the snow were very obvious, and it was this that Kasia feared.

Kasia, who did not keep in tune with the environment, sensed that the night was as concealed as it should be, and it was only after the sniper left for half an hour that Kasia poked his head out of the snow and continued to move on. On the way, he passed by the man who had died not long ago, and a large hole was blown in his chest, and his whole body was frozen into ice, and the faint black was especially white and blue. The bag he was carrying was turned over, and a bunch of bullets fell in the snow.

Soon after, the field of view expanded dramatically, reaching a distance of thirty or forty meters. Occasionally Kasiya could see the trail of others in the snow. And a deep red light was also projected onto the gray snow at this moment, and in an instant, this white world was coated with red light, as if it was infected by falling blood.

Kasia looked up, and several large patches of crimson appeared on the black cloud. Immediately, the crimson turned bright, and several huge red flares that burned violently finally broke through the black clouds, and with a billowing tail of smoke, they came to the sky beneath the snow clouds. Within seconds of burning, the flare was a cloud of smoke and scattered.

This is a signal emitted by the Empire's communications airship, which means that all the examiners have left the snowmobile. After eight hours of acclimatization, the Class II creatures specially cultivated by the Avalon Agency for this assessment will also be released.
