Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

After getting the money, Rankopel put the bag of gold coins into the co-pilot's hand box and said

to Macao:

"Mr. Macao, when you reach three-quarters of this passage, tell me, I will use my source stone skills to collapse this pass again."

"Then those mercenaries will all be blocked behind."

This passage is the only way through the Steel Radish Mine, and it is the only pass, and after this passage is collapsed, it can delay those mercenaries for a long time.

And once the passage collapses twice, there will be faults in its structure, and it is unknown whether these mercenaries will bury themselves alive when they are clear.

"No problem, Mr. Rankopel, leave it to you!"

Macaou replied without thinking.

"Fika, how is your source stone skill sensed, that vein is right in front of us now, right?"

Rankopel turned his head sideways and asked Fika beside him.

"Yes, that vein is right ahead of us... It's huge... Fick was able to find this vein, which is the scale of a large Rem Pitto mine.

Fika replied with some shock.

"How long will it take for us to get to the vein?"

Rankopel asked again.

"At this rate... It probably takes less than half an hour..."

Fika was saying to Rankopel, but suddenly his pupils shrank and he said in a surprised tone:

"No... Wrong...... How is this possible...?! Seeing

Fica's unusual expression, Rankopel immediately became serious and said to him:

"What's wrong? Fika?

Fica's tone was panicked this time:

"It's not my delusion... Leader...... That vein in front of us... Mobile! Rankopel

immediately said to Fica:

"Mobile? How do veins move? Could it be that a lot of source stone worms with vein crystal clusters on their bodies are moving?

Fika shook his head very decisively this time and said to Rankopel:

"No, my source stone skill I know best, what I sense is definitely a vein, the source stone worm will distinguish it from it, in front of us, the vein of the steel radish mine is really moving."

"But how is this possible? The veins have to move unless the geological layer changes, but the geological layer in front is very stable... Only the veins themselves are moving. "It's

like... It's like..."

And at this moment, Rankopel suddenly noticed that Fika's face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately shouted:

"What happened, Fika?"

Fica's tone was terrified:

"The leader... That vein... That vein...?!

"Now it's coming straight at us!!

"It's alive!!"

Boom——!!!

Before Rankopel could react, he heard a roar of destruction coming in an instant, and he only felt that the ground and the surrounding rock formations opened their blood basins to him in an instant.

"Fika!"

In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were almost upside down, and an entire wasteland crawler was immediately overturned in the air and rotated at great speed, and the strong centrifugal force made Macaoo and Fika faint on the spot.

"Damn it!"

At this moment of electric flint, Rankopel quickly opened his source stone skills.

Buzz -

The iron elements in the air and in the earth instantly responded to Rankopel's call, and the dark tide immediately converged into a shield around the car.

Boom boom!!

However, the intensity of the earth's vein movement far exceeded Lankopel's imagination, and it took almost a few seconds for Lankopel's shield to falter, and there was a large area shattered.

Crash!!

And with the last violent squeeze, even Rankopel could not support it.

Boom!!

His head hit the side beam of the car, and the weight of this force made the side beam of the entire car recessed into a pit, if it was an ordinary Terra person, he would definitely die on the spot.

"Uh-" Rankopel

was already at the juncture of the Origin Stone Technique, and this moment immediately made him unconscious, but fortunately, the shield forged by his Source Stone Technique was still barely effective.

Syllable!!

The wasteland

crawler that was thrown into the air landed heavily on the ground and then spun and rolled out.

......

At this time, the three major mercenary groups were about to pass through their respective forks in the road and converge at the pass that Lankoper had passed before.

"Chief, there is a massive tremor ahead approaching us!! This...... Wouldn't it just be in time for us to catch an earthquake? But my father's old map shows that the underground rock formation should be very stable! Ross

of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group was the first to notice the vibration, and he immediately said to the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group beside him.

"[Rem Bituo foul language] has been engaged for a long time, it's better not to come, let Fika's little rabbit cub be buried alive in the ground."

The leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, Lolvov, cursed, and the vibration in front of him had clearly told him that it was definitely an earthquake, but if he panicked, his subordinates below would be completely chaotic.

"Everyone turn around first! There is an earthquake ahead! Escape near the epicenter before you make plans! He

knew that money was good, but it also had to be spent on life, and if the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps, Lolvov, had known this in the first place, he would not have come down here.

And Desert and Iron Eagle were the same, and immediately gave the order to temporarily turn around and retreat.

"Hahaha!! Here it comes!! You guys can't run away!! All have to die, all have to die here!!

And on the side of the Desolate Mercenary Group, the captured Sakaz miners looked like crazy, laughing and shouting, and the leader of the Desolate Mercenary Group on the side, Snex, was so angry that he pulled out the saber on his waist:

"You bastard demon guy, a lowly thing, dare to be here-"

Boom!!!

But before he could make the next move, the knife in his hand flew out directly.

Buzzing and buzzing-this so-called

"earthquake" spread far faster than everyone imagined, and the leader of the Desolate Mercenary Corps immediately felt only light-the entire wasteland crawler under him was directly overturned in midair.

Boom, la-

Then these three forks were like twists and combined by the rotation of the force of vibration, and the entire underground space was instantly and forcefully changed, as if rubbed by an invisible giant hand.

The last memory of the Desolate Mercenary Group before they fell into a coma, when they were still conscious, was that the orange-red light flashed from nowhere.

......

It took about three minutes or so for the shaking in the ground to completely subside... But the terrain has been drastically altered, creating an intricate maze.

And for Rankopel, their own back road has not been cut off, and there is no other way but to move forward.

......

At this time, the wasteland crawler of Hayabusa 27 had already flipped on its side, and if it were not for the shield that Rankopel had added to him using the Source Stone technique before, the three would have been directly squashed into tin cans.

Hissing....

But even so, the exterior damage of this tracked vehicle has reached thirty percent, and it is difficult to say how it is inside, but judging by the black smoke and electric sparks that rise, the situation must be very bad.

"Ahhh... Hit the head, this time is really strong, replaced by Fika is afraid that he will not die on the spot.

At this time, Chelilan Coper also slowly regained consciousness, muttered to himself, and then touched the top of his right eyebrow bone, and a sharp tingling pain came.

And when he took his hand down, he saw that it was full of his own blood.

"It hurts... I haven't felt pain in a long time. Rankopel

said as he first found a roll of bandages in the storage compartment on his right in the overturned car.

Yikes.

After tearing it off at will, it was wrapped around his forehead, and now there is no source of blood healing, then he can only rely on the natural recovery power of the blood demon first, and it should be fine soon.

"Fortunately, there is no concussion at this moment, otherwise it will really not slow down for a while."

After bandaging his forehead, Rankopel rubbed the back of his head and looked at Fika and Macao.

Fortunately, Fika and Macaoo were not in a big deal, and Rankopel's last-minute spherical shield made the car generally roll, but there was no direct crash.

Fika and Macao's heads are even protected by airbags... And Rankopel's airbag exploded directly because of the excessive impact force received in an instant.

"Fica, Macao, wake up, now is not the time to sleep."

Rankopel first slightly accelerated the blood in both of them, stimulated their hearts, although the process was slightly tingling, and successfully awakened them.

"Fika, what's going on?"

After waking up Fica, Rankopel's first words were:

"You said moving, living source stone veins?"

At this time, Rankopel felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Yes, that's too weird, leader."

Fika shook his head lightly to speed up his senses, and then said to Rankopel:

"Although I am not an old professor of source stone veins and geology, I have read many genuine books on source stone veins... None of them have introduced this moving source stone vein.

"As if this vein has its own consciousness and life, if the source stone vein still has this nature, the entire mining industry in Terra will have to change for it."

With Fika's words, the faint uneasiness in Rankopel's heart had reached the extreme, and he said to Fika:

"This source stone vein... Fika, your brother probably came out with something he couldn't control or understand, although I don't know how he did it.

"But my gut tells me that if we don't stop it sooner rather than later... Something horrible can happen!!

Fika immediately nodded and replied to Rankopel with an extremely serious expression:

"Hmm! Leader, now that the inheritance of the Steel Radish Mine is not even so important, we must stop Fick.

"If nothing else, let's say that an earthquake of this level, if this source stone vein runs farther away, it only takes a few churning to get close to the surface to directly destroy a smaller city-state."

Rankopel nodded solemnly, then turned to Makao and asked

, "Mr. Macao,

can you get in touch with the Doctor and Amia?"

Macao, who was already FMING the Source Stone communicator on his shoulder, replied to Rankopel:

"No! Interference...... Even stronger, now there is hardly a signal, we can't get a little contact with the outside world, and the doctor can't even locate us.

Rankopel's

heart sank when he heard this, and he was about to say something.

Tick... Tick....

But at this moment, the source stone communication machine on Macao's shoulder suddenly rang.

"How so...? It stands to reason that no one can connect with us with such a strong telegram interference..."

This made Makao extremely surprised, and the source stone communication machine on his shoulder was even stunned.

"Who called?"

Rankopel stepped forward and asked immediately.

"It's weird... The other party did not have FM ... The frequency and information are blank, but how can this be loud?

Macao took a closer look, and his expression became even more strange.

"Access first."

Rankopel thought for a moment, but said so.

"Yes, Mr. Rankopel."

Macao immediately connected to telecommunications.

"[Harsh current sound] ... [Harsh current sound]..."

However, only the harsh current sound came from inside.

"It may be a malfunction, Mr. Rankopel, only the sound of electricity."

Macaou listened for a moment and said to Rankopel.

"[The harsh sound of electricity] ... Hello...[Harsh current tone] ... Guest.

And just as Macaoo was about to hang up, another voice came from the source stone communication machine, this voice was not a human voice or a cold mechanical and electronic sound.

Rather, it is some kind of... The strange sound that cannot be spoken, the timbre of the voice is sometimes old and decaying like a dragon bell, sometimes green as a child, as if it is impossible to appear in this world.

"Hello... Guest?

Makao removed the source stone communicator from his shoulder and held it in his hand, as close to his mouth as he could, and was about to ask the identity of the man.

However, in the next second, the next sentence came out of the communicator:

"[Harsh current sound] ... Hello..."

"Nutrients."
