Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

Seven days have passed since Rankopel left Chernoborg.

According to Fika and Rhode Island drivers, they will arrive at the border of Rem Pitto in about five days, usually a journey of half a month and they only need twelve days.

Because this road is too smooth, and even the shadow of the natural disaster has not been encountered, the high-speed ship of the Glory has passed smoothly all the way, and there is not even a single problem, and even the maintenance is exempted.

Rankopel generally developed his skills during this time, sometimes communicating with the Doctor and Amia to get more information about Rhode Island.

However, he occasionally stood on the bridge of a high-speed ship and looked into the distance, and naturally, Rankopel also saw the most sights in this terra land - the uninhabited wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, it exudes a dry and barren earthy yellow, and occasionally a few large and small rocks dot it, many of which have been weathered and take on various strange forms.

Some small reptiles and crabs inhabit the interior of these weathered rocks, which provide shade that can also save them from the sun.

Rankopel had been standing here for about an hour, but only a handful of people were seen hurrying past in the distance, they should be wanderers, or merchants of the wilderness.

It is very difficult for normal people to survive in the wilderness, most of them yearn for cities and civilizations, of course, there is also an organization with the mission and meaning of being with the wilderness - rust hammer.

Natural disasters swept through the wasteland, and rusty hammers smashed into the earth.

"Rust Hammer" is a group of violent organizations that have left civilization and wandered the wasteland, and life itself is an endless war on the wasteland far from the mobile city-state.

They boast that in order to isolate the poisonous blood of civilization, they have broken the cage of the city-state and survived in the wilderness, hoping that one day everything will return to the wilderness.

Only this time Rankopel did not see them, of course, he was not interested in this organization, and he only hoped that one day he would not get in his way.

Rankopel gently opened his palm and stretched out.

After less than a few seconds to take it back, the palm of the hand was already stained with yellow dust and sand, and the speed of the high-speed ship was enough to shovel up the soil layer below, bringing up a huge amount of dust and smoke.

This is certainly not a meaningless act, but a measure of the flow of wind.

"Time to go practice again."

Lan Koper flicked the yellow sand in his hand and said secretly in his heart.

"Ah, Mr. Rankopel, here you are."

At this time, a Rhode Island sniper operator came forward and said to Rankopel: "

It's almost lunchtime."

"It seems that you basically stay in your room, occasionally come up to the bridge, there is a bar inside the high-speed ship, and you can sometimes come over at night to drink and chat with everyone."

Rankopel rolled over and came down from the splint and said to the Rhode Island sniper operator

, "Until then,

please do me a favor... Rarely, there have been some breakthroughs in recent training.

The Rhode Island sniper operator immediately replied

, "What do you want me to help you, say,

do you need a dynamometer?" Humanoid target? Or a source stone radiator? Or do you have a need for weapons? You can also mention it to me. Rankopel

shook his head and said, "

Neither."

"Next, trouble you to take out the crossbow you are carrying, aim it at me, and shoot."

The Rhode Island sniper operator was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and said:

"... Are you serious? Mr. Rankopel?

But he could also tell that Rankopel's tone was not joking.

"Yes, shoot at me, preferably at my head."

Rankopel said yes and clearly stated where to target.

"But this... It's a little too dangerous, although the arrows used by the Rhode Island sniper operators are only carbon standard arrows, but this distance, hit the head..." The

Rhode Island sniper operators were a little afraid to continue.

“...... Well, you remove the arrow, rest assured, I am very clear about my state, I will not mess around, just a special training. Rankopel

said to him.

"Well, if you feel that it can't work, please stop doing this immediately... Training.

The Rhode Island sniper operator said to Rankopel.

"Don't worry, I know it."

Rankopel replied immediately.

......

So, the Rhode Island sniper operator first informed the rest of the crew of the high-speed ship Honor to prevent misunderstanding, then drew an arrow, pulled out the arrow, and then wound it.

I have to say that this Rhode Island sniper operator is indeed well-trained, and once he finishes winding, aims at Rankopel, and begins to hold his breath, the whole person's aura begins to change.

"Please be careful, Mr. Rankopel, it's already about to launch."

He said to Rankopel, his finger already firmly on the trigger.

"Come on."

Rankopel stood about twenty meters away from him and said to him.

As soon as his words fell, an arrow broke through the air, and although the standard crossbow of the sniper operator in Rhode Island is not as good as some customized products, the performance is also relatively superior.

After this arrow accelerated sharply, its initial speed had reached a terrifying level, and it came to Rankopel's eyes almost instantaneously.

Of course, it can be seen that the Rhode Island sniper operator is not aiming at his own head, but at the side of his head about ten centimeters away.

“——！！"

Lankoper quickly reached out his hand, but unfortunately the arrow still slipped out of his palm and shot at the wall behind Lankopel, and a coin-sized pit appeared on the alloy-cast wall.

"You... Do you want to catch my arrows with your bare hands at this distance? The

Rhode Island sniper operator seemed to have guessed Rankopel's purpose and said somewhat incredulously.

"Yes."

Rankopel immediately admitted.

"I see, Rankopel, it seems that what Dr. Kelsey said is true, you... What a strong man. And

the Rhode Island sniper operator said, "Okay,

so I'll go on."

Rankopel said to him:

"No need to deflect, aim at my body, preferably shoot in the head, even if I can't catch it, I can avoid it."

The Rhode Island sniper operator was silent for a moment before he said, "

Okay."

He then wound up and aimed again, this time at Rankopel's head, without the slightest deviation.

The second arrow and the third arrow, Rankopel dodged it sideways, and this time he did not rush to catch it, but experienced the feeling of these arrows passing by his side.

The Rhode Island sniper operator was still shooting at himself.

The fourth arrow... The fifth arrow....

The feeling also became stronger, and Rankopel's hanging right hand began to shake.

......

Until the seventh arrow.

Hum -

and at this moment, Rankopel was already able to capture the flow of gas around him extremely keenly, and the blood in his body seemed to show him the way again, condensing in that direction.

Rhode Island's arrows are mainly composed of carbon fiber aluminum alloy, and there is naturally iron inside, and the iron element they sense is also guiding themselves.

It's now.

Crash!

Lan Keper stretched out his hand sharply, and between the electric flint, an arrow that was about to hit his eyebrow was held in his hand by himself, and the huge movement made his palm feel a little painful.

But the pain quickly dissipated.

Of course, in most cases, Rankopel will choose to dodge in the face of flying arrows, this kind of bare hand gripping arrows is not small, and the component of showmanship is most.

However, this kind of exercise must be done, because it can greatly improve Rankopel's reflexes and agility, laying the foundation for Rankopel's next development of precise control direction.

Even if Rankopel develops this direction to a certain extent, countless arrows can be fired at Rankopel without moving his hand, sensing them and controlling them at the same time.

A hundred arrows are fired, and Rankopel can instantly change the direction of seventy or eighty arrows or even all arrows and shoot them in all directions, and those who snipe Rankopel themselves will turn into hedgehogs.

"Awesome! Mr. Rankopel, I have never seen a few people who can catch arrows at this distance.

The Rhode Island sniper operator's eyes widened and he said to Rankopel.

"Go on, friend, this time for continuous shooting, do not interrupt."

Rankopel gently put aside the arrow he was holding and said to the Rhode Island sniper operator.

"Well, Mr. Rankopel, besides, my name is Lynn, and Dr. Kelsey sent a Rhode Island sniper team on this high-speed ship, and I am their captain."

The sniper operator named Lynn said

, "Just call me Lynn, when the time comes, after going to the Steel Radish Mine,

we will stay there with the other Rhode Island stationers and set up a complete office."

Rankopel nodded and said, "

Okay, hard work, Lynn, let's continue."

Lynn has a full understanding of Rankopel's strength, so he can also relax a little, he pulled out many arrows from the quiver on the side, and said to Rankopel:

"Don't look at me as if I usually have a bit of a hanger, but I am also a crossbowman who has been training under Stormeyes' big brother for a long time, and I shoot very fast continuously."

"Be careful next, Mr. Rankopel."

Then, Lynn quickly opened the string, and a series of arrows flew towards Rankopel at great speed.

"Good, that's exactly what I wanted."

Rankopel thought silently.

Lynn's shooting skills are indeed good, and it seems that he must have learned a lot from Stormeyes, and judging by his spiral arm movements, there is already a bit of the shadow of the elite operator.

"One-third steamed blood!"

Rankopel quickly entered a third-of the steamed blood state to assist himself in training.

Under normal circumstances, Rankopel can generally only dodge up to two or three arrows, and if faced with the attack of the rain of arrows, Rankopel must also summon iron elements to form a shield to resist.

And one-third of the steamed blood, whether from the point of view of consumption, from the perspective of strengthening level, perfectly meets their own requirements, and the enhanced five senses can just make Rankopel feel the breath of arrows flying.

After all, you can't start steamed blood battles all the time, or rely on steamed blood, after all, this thing is life-consuming to fight, so the normalized strength of yourself also needs to be strengthened.

In just three seconds, Lynn shot five or six arrows at Rankopel, and in less than ten seconds Lynn emptied all the arrows in his hand.

Like flying locusts, the rain of arrows was aimed at Rankopel from all angles.

"At this speed ... Good, exactly what I needed. While

meditating, Rankopel's body had moved rapidly, tossing and turning in the rain of arrows in an instant, and his hands and arms were waving around like windmills.
