Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

The timeline pushed forward slightly, and at this time, under the night of the Rem By-Pioneer Wasteland, a large mixed team of mercenaries was galloping, aiming in the direction of Rankopel before.

Exactly as Daquil said, these people added up to more than three hundred people, and they were armed with armed mining vehicles or even real privately modified armored vehicles, and there were erected source stone ballistae on the vehicles.

The three most famous mercenary groups in the west of Rembito, Blood Wolf, Iron Eagle, and Desert led all their combat power and poured out to capture Fika.

Soon, these men arrived at the rocky beach where Rankopel was fighting the mercenary traitors, and first divided a small mobile force to investigate the situation.

And the reconnaissance naturally ended quickly, after all, the battle was over, and all that remained was nothing more than mess and flesh and blood.

"Chief, these traitors are all dead, the wounds are fresh, it is estimated that it was a few hours ago..."

A mercenary returned from the scene of the massacre in Rankopel and said in a very uneasy tone:

"The difference in strength on the other side is too great, these traitors are our respective good hands, to say something I don't want to say, they were almost unable to resist... Slaughtered.

"Their wound was cut very flat, and in an instant it was cut by something sharp and all of them were beheaded."

Snex, the leader of the Desolate Mercenary Regiment, got out of the car and said to the mercenary:

"Newcomer, your experience is too insufficient, don't be frightened by this illusion, these people are likely to die in some kind of wire trap in an instant,

we have encountered this situation before."

"As long as the trap is properly arranged, it can kill a group of people in an instant."

They attributed this phenomenon to some kind of trap kill, in fact, this idea is not wrong, in fact, who would have thought that a powerful blood demon appeared in Rembito?

After all, to put it mildly, now Rankopel's strength in the mercenary group is almost equivalent to blowing up a fish pond, and they have never encountered such a thing that upsets the balance.

Therefore, from the perspective of mercenary hunter thinking, trap killing is undoubtedly the most reasonable conjecture, and there have been several such cases before, and they have been confirmed to be traps later.

"So we lost it? But that's not right... Our brethren scattered at first, and the neighborhood was all rounded, but they didn't see Fika at all. The

leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group stepped forward and said.

"Chief, there is something I want to think about, although it is not very practical, but I still want to talk to you."

At this time, a topographic scout among the mercenaries hesitated, but finally stood up.

"But it doesn't hurt to say, now we are short of clues, whether true or false, report them first."

The leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group immediately replied.

"Well, my father used to be a topographic mapper for this area, and he has a very old map... That map shows underground space created by groundwater erosion beneath our feet.

"It's a lot of space, and according to the directions, this underground passage leads directly to the Steel Radish Mine, and Fika and their eight achievements slipped under the soles of our feet."

The leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group immediately said: "

Then we have to catch up with them as fast as possible, what is your name?"

The terrain scout replied

, "Ross, my name is Ross,

Chief."

"If you trust me... I can take you to the entrance, but that entrance is very much like a trap in a quicksand crypt, so I'm afraid you will misunderstand, so let you know first. The

leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group nodded, looked at the leader of the Iron Eagle Mercenary Group who was still sitting in the car on the side, and said,

"Karnat, what do you think?"

The leader of the Iron Eagle Mercenary Group rolled down the window and said,

"We don't have a better choice, everyone has had a hard time recently, this list must be completed."

The leader of the Desolate Mercenary Regiment simply waved his hand:

"Okay, brothers, all get on the bus, these traitors and dead piles will be left to feed the vultures and beasts... If anyone dares to betray again, the end will be worse than this. "

Yes, what Daquil of the Wasteland Sidewinder never expected was that besides him, there was another person who also knew that there was a passage underground in this area.

But he is already dead, the two corpses are not hot now, the blood is almost sucked by the sand, presumably before long, even the bones will be gnawed by the beast.

......

The time was very tight, and the three major mercenary groups did not delay and set off immediately.

It's just that their vehicles are not wasteland crawlers like the Falcon 27, and they carry a lot of weight, so they are definitely not as fast as Rankopel and others.

After about twice as long as Rankopel, the convoy finally reached the entrance to the quicksand crypt, above Rankopel's head.

......

At this time, inside the underground passage, Fika, who was sleeping, suddenly stood up with two rabbit ears, then opened his eyes, half sat up, and said to Rankopel, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side:

"... Leader?

Rankopel also opened his eyes and said to Fica:

"You feel the vibration above our heads too, right?"

Fika replied

, "Yes, because of my source stone skills,

I am more sensitive to vibrations and messages transmitted by the ground and veins... These vibrations... The source is the sound of human footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling over the ground.

"Here they are, leader, right above our heads now."

Rankopel said:

"... It would not be a coincidence, it seems that Daquil is not alone in knowing this place, we were found by them.

And Fika pushed Macaoo on the side hard and said:

"Wake up, Mr. Macao, we have to leave quickly!"

Macaou slept a little deeply, and Fika leaned close to his ear and shouted, before he woke up slowly.

"How... Finish?

Macao rubbed his eyes and also half-sat up, his tone a little puzzled.

"We were discovered by those mercenaries, and if what Daquil said is true, then there are at least three hundred people above us who are preparing to come down here to kill Fika."

Rankopel said to Macao.

"I see, Mr. Rankopel."

Hearing that the situation had become serious, Macao immediately shook off his sleepiness and said while standing up.

"Tell me what time it is, Macao."

Rankopel asked.

"It's four o'clock in the morning, Mr. Rankopel."

Macaou looked at the upper-right corner of the Source Stone communication machine pinned to his shoulder and said to Rankopel.

"How's the rest?"

Rankopel said in a concerned tone, after all, he still needs Macao's drive later, so he must ensure Makao's mental state.

"Tell you the truth... Not great, after all, just sleeping bags ... But I've long been used to it.

Makao took out a small pill-like bag from his waist, took two and chewed them in his mouth, and said:

"Although the sleep time is short, in this case, you can take some medicine such as mental recovery, but... After all, it's medicine... I can only eat it occasionally. Rankopel

nodded, watched Macaoo recover his mental state, and immediately said:

"How is the car, can it start?"

When Macaou heard this, he immediately walked to the side of the wasteland crawler vehicle, opened the hood and ponged for a while, and then said to Rankopel:

"The engine has not fully recovered, but it can definitely be opened, that is, the speed will be greatly slowed down, and we have to use some terrain to shake them off with ingenuity!"

"We have a coherical holographic real-time mapping image, and we know everything in front of us, but those mercenaries' junk is absolutely none!"

"It is estimated that you don't need Mr. Rankopel to make a move, as long as these people dare to chase us, it is estimated that they will get lost and lost to death!"

Hearing Macao, a professional, say this, Rankopel naturally had a bottom in his heart.

"Okay, then let's go right away and get rid of them."

So he said immediately.

"Okay, Mr. Rankopel, Mr. Fika, get in the car."

Macaou immediately took the lead and took the driver's seat, saying to Rankopel and Fica.

"Fika, let's go up."

Rankopel picked up Fika (in fact, Fika is only one meter six meters tall, and is 16 years old, compared with Rankopel, a 21-year-old and nine-meter-nine Sakaz blood demon, is simply a child) and quickly got into the car.

Buzz -

Then the Hayabusa 27 started again, only this time the engine was noticeably muffled and much weaker, and the speed was always slow, even similar to that of a bicycle at first.

But slow is better than standing still.

......

And at this time, the quicksand crypt entrance.

"This is it, Chief."

Ross said to the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment, relying on his professional knowledge, he actually sat as the co-pilot of the regiment leader in his lifetime.

"Guys, here we are, stop the car."

Hearing Ross say this, the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group immediately turned on the on-board Source Stone communication machine and transmitted this signal to all the mercenaries.

Squeak -

With the sound of brakes one after another, more than three hundred mercenaries stopped at the entrance above the heads of Rankopel and the others.

"Get in from here?"

The leader of the Desolate Mercenary Group was the first to get out of the car, looked at the quicksand crypt in front of him, and said:

"It looks like looking for death, but if it is really a secret entrance, it can be called extremely secretive."

Ross said to the leader of the Desolate Mercenary Corps:

"Mr. Snex, please believe me, and you see, there are still the rut marks left by this Fika on the solidified loess here... And fuel for the engine here? Ross

suddenly saw some pitch-black patches scattered on the ground, emitting a pungent smell.

"Good news, Chief."

So, Ross immediately bent down, dipped a little engine fuel on the ground with a professional tool, looked at it carefully, and said:

"The fuel of these engines has been blackened and peroxidized!" This means that Fika their tracked car has undergone an explosive acceleration, and the engine is overloaded!

"Even the best engines, after overloading, need a night to cool down, and if the coolant is not enough, this time can even be increased to a month!"

“...... So I can guarantee that now FIKA they must be underground, and not far from this entrance, and even their car has not yet started! The

leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group stepped forward and patted Ross on the shoulder and said,

"Good job, I will share some more commission for you when the time comes."

No one could hear the multi-commission unhappy, and Ross immediately smiled.
