Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

Bang!!!

Before anyone could react, in an instant, the source stone communication machine in Makao's hand suddenly burst open.

Boom -

and the refined source stone inside as an energy supply turned from golden to orange-red color at some point, squirming like a living creature, and burst out several thorn-like tentacles into Macao's mouth.

"Lankao Pe-"

Macao'o didn't even have time to call for help, and the refined source stone immediately contracted the thorn tentacles, and a bounce flew directly into Macao's mouth.

"Hmm——!!"

Because of the sudden penetration of the foreign object, Macao's facial features were immediately twisted into a ball of pain.

Boom!!

Rankopel almost reacted, and Macao's head exploded in all directions from his mouth, and blood sprayed directly onto almost all of his right shoulder.

The strong smell of blood spread out almost in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Macao's head had been replaced by a refined source stone mixed with flesh and blood, like a sarcoma, and dozens of veins like blood vessels extended below.

This series of processes is quite lengthy if described in words, but in fact it happened in just two seconds, you can imagine how amazing the speed is.

"Shhhhh

This sharp and eerie voice is by no means a living person, and Rankopel can even hear every alveoli in his body breaking like crushing foam board.

"Get out of the way, Fika!"

As soon as Lan Copel pulled away Fika, who was stunned by this scene, the source stone technique was immediately activated, and the huge iron element immediately appeared in the air, and then converged in Rankopel's hands!

"Hammer!!"

Rankopel turned over with a vertical leap, and the iron hammer suddenly bombarded the orange-red sarcoma on Macao's head with the force of rotation!

Bang!!!

Not easy or difficult, as if a normal person took a hammer and broke a brick.

"..." Lan

Koper directly smashed the orange-red sarcoma on Macao's head with a hammer, and even cut off most of Macao's entire upper body.

Syllable.

After Rankopel completed this maneuver, a light flip landed on the ground, and the remaining half of Macao's body sprayed scarlet like a fountain of blood, shook weakly a few times, and fell to the ground.

"It's too fast, even if it takes two more seconds, I should have had time to save him..." Rankopel

felt a little reproachful, but this series of actions happened in two seconds, and even Rankopel couldn't react and act in such a short time.

Macao is not an iron guard under his command... He even volunteered to help himself, sending Fika back to the Rhode Island operator at the Steel Radish Mine, an ordinary Pelo.

"Now is not the time to grieve... Gotta quickly find out what happened..."

Rankopel took a deep breath and recovered.

"Collar... Leader.

At this time, Fika also recovered from the shock, looked at Macao's body, and said with some pain:

"Mr. Macao... He..."

Rankopel gently patted Fika on the shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"I blame myself too... Just just... It's not the time to say that, we have to figure out what's going on.

After comforting Fica, Rankopel added:

"Now... Fita, you stay a meter or so beside me, never go any further, you know?

Fika immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I understand, leader."

He was also frightened just now, after all, Fika is just a 16-year-old Carters teenager, and even if he sees this scene, he is afraid that he will be too shocked to walk.

"Well, let's see what the hell

makes such a thing..."

Rankopel clenched his fists, he had never expected that Rembitto's trip would encounter such a treacherous thing.

"...,"

he stepped forward a few steps and came to the fragments of Macao's body.

Fica, on the other hand, stood behind Rankopelle, holding the corner of his coat – there is nothing here that gives him more security than Rankopel.

"What the hell is this?"

Rankopel bent down and pulled out an orange-red shard about the size of a fingernail.

This is exactly the refining source stone used to supply energy in the previous Macao's source stone communication machine.

"Orange-red refining source stone?"

Rankopel squeezed it between his fingers and muttered.

In general, the initially versatile source stone mixed with countless impurities is called source stone ore, and if the impurity is too high, it is called source stone rough ore.

After industrial refining, refined source stone can be obtained, and the refined source stone used for energy supply generally has a golden yellow, while the over-refined source stone mine will appear emerald green.

After over-refining, the source stone will take on a crystal-like translucent luster, and the emerald green over-refined source stone is often processed into source stone ingots, which are hard currency in the trading of wilderness traders.

If refined to the extreme, it will turn into a dark golden source stone, and all impurities in the source stone mine are removed, which is a dangerous and essential substance.

But Rankopel had never seen this in the original plot of Ark of Tomorrow, and it was not golden, nor emerald green and dark gold, but orange-red source stone fragments.

"Still in... Wriggle? Under

careful observation, Rankopel found that this small source stone fragment was actually still squirming, and his fingers could transmit a clear rubbing sensation.

And it was trying to become sharp in order to pierce Rankopel's skin, but it quickly wrapped its skin with a layer of iron filings, and coupled with the defense of the blood demon itself, it failed to succeed for the time being.

"What a weird thing!"

At this moment, even Rankopel couldn't keep his composure, and threw it down hard, and the fingernail-sized source stone fragment shattered into three segments again because of the powerful force.

And then Rankopel saw that these three fragments were still crawling slowly on the ground, not only these three fragments, but all the fragments that Rankopel had broken before were slowly converging.

They intend to form a collective again.

"Second Hammer!!"

Rankopel struck another hammer through the air, with a heavy sonic boom, and fell to the ground.

Boom!!

This hammer directly crushed all the fragments of the orange-red refining source stones that were trying to converge together into slag, and there was no more movement.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine that there was still this orange-red source stone crystal with its own life and consciousness in the world of Terra.

But he remembered very well that all the refining source stones carried by Makao were golden regular refining source stones, including the one in the source stone communication machine.

When did it transform into this kind of thing?

"Fika! Throw away all the source stone products on your body at once! Fast! Rankopel

turned to shout at Fica.

"I understand! Leader! Fika

immediately figured out Rankopel's intentions.

He only had a source stone communication machine and an emergency source stone searchlight pinned to his waist, and Fika immediately untied them as fast as he could, and then threw them as hard as if he were dropping a grenade.

Boom!!!

The source stone communication machine and the source stone searchlight suddenly hit the rock wall and shattered.

"Sure enough..."

Lan Koper immediately saw that among the fragments, the fragments of the golden refining source stone used for energy supply had shown signs of turning orange-red.

"If Kelsey were here... Even if you can contact Kelsey... Maybe she can know something...,"

he muttered, and then said to Fita

, "We have to get out of here quickly,

all the source stone artifacts can't be brought with us!" They can transform into this kind of thing at any time! Rankopel

still couldn't figure out whether this was some special role of the source stone mineral or the manifestation of another organism that had never been discovered.

Because he couldn't see any of the most basic things of flesh and blood, nerves, internal organs, and bones, these orange-red source stone fragments seemed to be just moving stones.

"I understand, leader... I listen to your command, and I will do what you tell me to do.

Fika stood behind Rankopel and said in a somewhat low tone:

"I'm really sorry... I can't help you at this time..."

Rankopel shook his head and replied

, "You're not at fault,

Fitca."

"This kind of thing... No one expected that Rhode Island and Chernoberg would be waiting for you to return to the Iron and Steel Radish Mine to bring us financial gains, and you would be a vital part.

Then, Rankopel grabbed Fika's hand and first came to the side of the overturned car, just took a cursory observation, sighed himself, and said:

"Although I don't know the car very well, even from the appearance, the car is basically wasted now, and the driver is dead, and the navigation system cannot work."

"We'll have to walk next, Fitca, but don't worry, I'll do my best to keep you safe."

Fika nodded and replied:

"Hmm! I have always trusted you! Leader!

"From what I just inducted, the steel radish mine is now only about three kilometers away from us in a straight line!" If it goes well, even if it has to be twisted and turned, it will only take about an hour! Rankopel

closed his eyes and let out a long breath:

"Yes, there is no turning back."

Turning around and looking ahead, the road was dark, so Rankopel and Fika had to find a light source they could rely on, which was the most necessary thing.

"You have to get a light source as soon as possible, this place can't stay any longer."

Rankopel said silently.

Maybe he can walk in the dark with the dynamic vision and hearing ability of the blood demon, but Fika can't, if something happens to him if he is not careful, it will be irreparable.

It's just that...... The lighting lamps they use are basically source stone lamps, which also means that it is likely that the source stone lamp will suddenly explode while walking, and then the foreign objects inside will come out to attack themselves.

If you want to use traditional torches to illuminate, it will burn a lot of oxygen in the air and produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, whether it is Fika or Rankopel will directly suffocate.

Rankopel thought about it, and finally looked at the lights of the Falcon 27 tractor.
