Chapter 30: Outline

Kasia remembered the origin of the round, broken glass, the same mask they had had for everyone at the old station. The glass embedded in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is the same as this broken piece of glass, but half of it is lying in the shadow of the flower pot.

"Old Monsieur Dorne, are you alone at this station?" said Kara, who quickly drank the third glass of grape juice, but did not interrupt for the fourth cup for a moment, wiped her mouth, and began to talk to Old Man Dorne again.

"Haha, of course there will be others. Otherwise, in this desolate desert, there will be no sound of insects every day, except for the sound of instruments, how lonely it must be. Old man Dorne poured himself a glass of white wine, took a sip and continued, "There is also a hunting party from the Empire, there are dozens of people, and we live together in this small supply station, which barely makes this place a little more angry. ”

"Is the hunting party hunting those animals in the depths of the desert?" Cassia also suddenly became interested, the situation changed a little, and they were not in a hurry to leave now.

"Yes, the ecosystem in the desert is not the same as the area outside that has all the seasons. It's usually only summer, and the only change is the temperature. The result is a unique ecosystem in the desert. The animals here all have a good layer of biological insulating fur, whether it is snakes, lizards, or unique sand wolves, the fur on their bodies is a good material, and they are still sold for a considerable price in some parts of the empire. ”

"Because I'm old and I have to manage the station, I won't go out with them at night when it's a good hunt. Old man Dorne nodded, "Two brave travelers, you are also here to hunt these desert animals, or are you just here to travel to the desert? If you are here to hunt, you can rest here for a day, and tomorrow you can go with the people of the hunting party, after all, they are very experienced." If you are traveling, you can also use this as a base or as a destination, and there is no longer a working station in front of you. In three days' time, the hunting party will go back, and you can also take a ride. ”

Old man Dorne gave Cassia an idea.

"We also had this plan, and after a few days of hiking, we were really tired. The journey ahead is probably only yellow sand. "Tomorrow night, if we can, we want to go out with the hunting party in the desert to see what the sand wolves look like, and see if we can learn how to hunt a few sand wolves." ”

Kasia's tone was excited, as if it was genuinely joyful and interested.

Old man Dorne seemed to be infected, and talked to them happily for a while.

In the end, it was Kara who asked for two rooms to rest in, and paid the high rent of four thousand holy coins.

The rooms were all basement buildings, and next to them was a closed storage room, where a hint of chill was bubbling out. The basement is built just below the five rooms, a small half of which is used as a storage room, and the rest is a small room for lodging.

There are many rooms and there are many friction marks on the metal doors that are often used. As the old man Dorne led them to their room, Kasia looked all the way over, silently counting the number in his mind.

Kara's room was in the middle, and Kasia was placed at the end.

"Young man, here, I hope you can rest well, it will take a lot of physical strength to follow the hunting party tomorrow night. Dorne opened the door with the key and tossed it to Kasia. Finally, if necessary, he said that he would go directly to the room on the ground, and he would stay there for the rest of the night.

Kasia smiled and thanked him, and when the metal door was completely closed by Dorne, his face changed, and a number came out of his mouthβ€”thirty-seven.

That's an approximate number, the approximate number of the hunting party in Old Man Dorne's mouth.

"Okay, so the first thing to do now is to rest. Kasia smiled, the room wasn't too big, only about half as spacious as his dormitory at the military school. Inside there was a small bed, a chair and a long cabinet. On top of the cabinet were jugs, glasses, cans of food, and a bottle of what Old Man Donne called "a gift of cheap white wine." In addition to this, there are other basic accommodation items.

Kasia pried open the can of food, revealing greasy pickled fish. He opened the bottle again, poured a full glass of wine, and the smell of wine filled the room at once. After making other preparations, Kasia put her backpack on the edge of the bed, and without taking off her clothes or turning off the lights, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

The temperature in the room was perfect, the kind of temperature that was so comfortable that you wanted to close your eyes and rest and then sleep deeply.

Cassia and the others arrived at the supply station at half past twelve in the morning, and they tossed and turned for more than half an hour before finally lying on the bed.

The room was quiet for two people, with only the slight snort and the sound of the heating pipes audible. Probably because the journey was too tiring, the two seemed to have been immersed in sweet dreams. The journey through the desert to the Gerun Oasis also seems to have been completely forgotten at this time.

When the time came to two o'clock in the morning, Kasia had already covered her body with a thin quilt, and her pale face seemed to be a little ruddy because of rest.

The metal door also made a "click" at this time, which was the sound of the key being used to open the door. The calm air in the room was disturbed by the silent opening of the door, and a lean man swaggered in, his high-top shoes crackling on the floor, but Kasia didn't react now.

"Look, look, I said that as long as I increase the amount of medicine, I will make sure that everyone sleeps like dead pigs, and they still don't believe it!" said the lean man, smelling the smell of wine all over the room, and walked in front of Kasia with a rope in his hand. After a few words of scolding, the rope in his hand has been skillfully tied into a slipknot, and he is in the hunting team to help tie up the carcass of the prey, which is his old job.

He stood on the edge of the bed and bent down to put a slipknot around Kasia's neck, but a hand reached out and grabbed his neck.

The strength of the arm was very heavy, and the lean man felt that the fingers stuck in his neck were made of steel, and he desperately tried to use his hands to remove the fatal fingers, but to no avail.

His throat was completely choked, and he wanted to shout but couldn't make the slightest sound. His eyes were wide and bulging, and he saw the man in front of him, who was supposed to be sleeping like a dead pig, open his eyes and stood up. His short body was held in the air in one hand by the man in front of him, who was half a head taller than him. He tried to struggle, but the man's other hand in front of him had been compared to a knife and slashed at his neck, and he completely fainted.

Kasia placed the lean, unconscious man he was carrying in his hand, laid him on the bed, tied him with the rope he had brought, and covered him tightly with the quilt. Then he quietly walked to the door with his bayonet sword.

"Luckily, there was no one else in the hallway. Cassia filled a glass with pre-spit grape juice as a mirror and glanced down the hallway, where there was no one but the pale light.

Sticking lightly to the corridor, the boots made by the military school on his feet really didn't look like cheap goods on the feet of lean men, and under the subtle control of his strength, he didn't make a sound at all.

Kara's door was ajar, and it was pitch black inside, and the door could smell the rich smell of blood mixed with the aroma of wine.

"No!" Kasia's heart tightened, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she felt something above her head against her celestial spirit cover before she could turn on the light on the side of her hand.

"It's me. Kasia turned on the light in the room, and the gray floor was still clean, except for the silhouette of two people on the bed in the corner, under the quilt, and the smell of blood came from inside.

On the head, Kara had put away the sniper rifle on Kasia's scalp, and even the cross pupils had changed back. The ability of the cross pupils to catch light is exceptional, and the night has little effect on them. She jumped from the corner of the door, and there was only a slight sound.

"You're going to suffer if you're not careful. She reminded in front of Kasia, her mouth simulating the sound of a sniper rifle being discharged.

Kasia spread her hands helplessly, without giving any explanation.

"You've got it sorted out over there. Kara closed the door and returned the bullets from her sniper rifle, "Sure enough, there's a problem, this supply station." How do you know for sure that it's just because of the unwatered bushes?"

"How could it be. Kasia shook her head, "When I was leaving my luggage, I smelled something fishy, and I saw the spectacle lenses embedded in the same mask, and at first I was just suspicious. ”

"Then I didn't expect it to be like this. Carla laughed, "When I heard you say that your name is Gulika, I thought to myself that I had overlooked something and needed you to remind me with a code." ”

"It was just luck that I happened to see it. Kasia blinked, "Then you don't have to kill them all." ”

Kasia walked over and lifted the quilt, and one of the people inside was an old man from Dorne, whose wise eyes were full of unexpected astonishment before he died. A stab in his heart was opened, and blood stained the bed beneath him. And the other is also a face that has never been seen before, and the fatal wound is also the heart position.

"Isn't that what you said?" Kara rewrapped the sniper rifle with a blank look on her face, "'Tomorrow night, if we can, we also want to go out with the hunting party in the desert to see what the sand wolves look like, and see if we can learn to shoot a few sand wolves' These are your exact words, and after hearing the code of 'Gulika', I have carefully pondered your words word by word." Besides, have you killed fewer animals these days?"

In Kara's eyes, these people are only worth as much as animals.

Kasia stopped talking about it: "Let's go and see all the places first, I can't guarantee that there are no other people at this station." I'll think about other things later, I still have someone in my room to interrogate. It's almost half past two o'clock, and the hunting party in Old Man Dorne's mouth must not lie to us, and they will come back at dawn. Whether to go or stay will be decided according to the situation. ”

"Yes. Kara put back her sniper rifle with an extra silver-gray clip pistol in her hand, felt Kasia's gaze, shook her pistol and explained, "Old man Dorne's hands are in good condition. ”

The two walked out of the basement, but only one room was lit outside, and there was no one in the rest of the rooms. Finally, the two of them went back to the basement and opened the storage room, which was full of neatly arranged tin boxes and wooden shelves.

Canned food, all kinds of liquor, beverages, and a large number of various animal skins that have been completely dried, among which the gray-yellow fur of the sand wolf is the most abundant. In several tin boxes, Kasia and the others found a number of different types of weapons, all of which were brand new, and boxes of ammunition wrapped in oiled paper next to them.

"Good fellow, this is all transported by the Imperial Military Department and unused. I didn't expect there to be so many. Carla looked at a couple of tin boxes, and they were full of these things.

There is also a large refrigerated room in the storage room, and when you open the steel door, you can see the bright red carcasses of various animals piled up on top of the steel table, which they store as a source of food. On the other hand, all kinds of vegetables that have been frozen and drooping are no longer fresh.

Finally, in the corner, there was also a row of iron platforms, but everything on them was covered with a thick white cloth. Through the silhouette, an uncomfortable feeling rose in Kasia's heart.
