Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

The drinking between Rankopel and Marcel didn't last long.

First, because the break was not long, only about half an hour, and second, Marcel had to ensure the rest of the work so he only drank a bottle of beer.

According to his original words, a bottle is just right, and when you do the hard work, it is really full of brute strength like a strong man with rich hooves, but one more bottle is too much.

"If there are any vehicle modifications or objects or equipment to be repaired in the future, feel free to come to me, Mr. Rankopel.

When he finally sent Rankopel out of the workshop door, Macao's tone was noticeably more relaxed, not as burdened as before, after all, the deceased is gone, and this land is always like this.

Those who survived... We must cherish it even more and keep moving forward.

"Hmm... If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask. Rankopel

even gave his private communication channel directly to Marcel.

......

After saying goodbye to Marcel in workshop 302, by this time, the time had passed by an hour.

And Kelch said in the laboratory that he would find her in the central control room an hour later, which should be about returning to Chernoberg.

He couldn't wait, and after leaving Marcel's workshop, Rankopel quickly picked the nearest path to the central control room in Rhode Island based on maps and navigation.

By the way, the door of the Rhode Island central control room should have a face scan or other sensing device, and when Rankopel walked to the door and stayed for a moment, he heard an electronic sound start:

"Rhode Island Special Operator Number SAG-414, highest privilege, access allowed." Then

, the door to the central control room opened to the sides, and Rankopel strode in.

Rhode Island Central Control Room, full name Rhode Island Central Control Room, is the decision-making core of the entire Rhode Island.

Usually Kelsey, Amia and the Doctor are regular visitors here, and the other Rhode Island operators who operate on the Source Stone computer and a series of terminals are also very loyal veterans.

Rankopel This should be the first time to come to the real Rhode Island Central Control Room.

And many of the busy operators inside have heard about Rankopel's deeds, but because they have work at hand and are busy, the greeting is very short, or they simply nod their heads in greeting.

And I also responded one by one very politely.

At this time, Kelsey was staring at a screen at the front of the central control room, and on the screen was a map showing a constantly flashing and red-marked coordinates.

At the terminal in front of the screen, there are nearly ten Rhode Island operators who are rapidly tapping on the keyboard and moving the mouse to work, all of them are very focused, but they can also see anxiety in their eyes.

"What's wrong, Kelsey?" This

was clearly not quite right, and Rankopel immediately stepped forward to Kelsey's side and asked.

“...... I'm afraid we'll have to delay our return to Chernoberg a bit, Rankopel.

Kelsey said sideways, facing Rankopel.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Hearing

that Chernoberg's return needed to be postponed, Rankopel immediately asked Kelsey again, although he felt a little regretful.

"That's right, Rankopel.

Kelsey decided to explain the situation to himself as quickly and in detail as possible:

"Remember the volcano you threw into after breaking that source stone vein?"

It's better to say impressed.

Kelsey nodded and continued:

"Here's the thing.

"Because considering that the risk of recent volcanic eruptions has been reduced to near nothing, and we have negotiated with the official government of Rembiton to purchase options for the use of the plot in that area."

"We intend to establish a research base station within the safety of the volcano boundary to observe and study the changes in the nature of this volcano, while preventing and controlling risks."

"So we sent a special team three days ago, led by one of Rhode Island's top volcanologists, to conduct a preliminary survey of the volcano's boundaries."

When Rankopel heard the words "top" and "volcanologist", he couldn't help but say a name half-jokingly and half-seriously

: "Ayafara?" Kelsey

nodded and replied:

"It seems that after opening the archive permissions of Rhode Island to you, you have a preliminary understanding of many operators in Rhode Island, Rankopel." "

Rankopel said that after your archive permissions were opened to me, I didn't really know each operator very carefully, but Ayafara herself is familiar with it.

"So what's going on, Kelsey?" After

the last thought in his mind, Rankopel's expression began to become serious and serious, since Kelsey opened his mouth like this, then something must have happened over there.

"At about nine o'clock this morning, we lost contact with this volcano exploration team.

"And just ten minutes ago, a very faint distress signal was received in the central control room of Rhode Island, and the frequency was parsed by the team led by Operator Ayafara.

"So we hope to send Operator Ironblood, or Rankopelle, to lead a search and rescue team to the coordinates where the distress signal finally disappeared." "

“...... Bring back the operators who have lost contact, even if they are bodies. "

And find out what happened... It's just that the doctor and I are well aware of your physical condition, and if you are too reluctant, Rhode Island will send other operators to the rescue. Kelsey

said earnestly to Rankopel, she understood that Rankopel had consumed a lot yesterday, but indeed, she was the best person who was once the only person involved.

"I'll go, I'm still familiar with the volcano... Kelsey.

Rankopel, of course, had no reason to refuse, and responded to Kelsey's request, then added:

"But the squad is not necessary, I am afraid that if there is some extreme situation, I may not be able to take care of them."

Kyle Heath paused for a moment and replied

, "Yes,

Rankopel.

"That exploration team has a total of eight people, and a standard off-road vehicle or wasteland crawler can carry five people, including the driver, considering that the exploration team's vehicle has the worst total loss..."

"If you drive yourself, you should at least bring a driver with you." "

Rankopel actually didn't want to let the Rhode Island drivers follow him anymore, not at all because Lankoper looked down on them and thought they were pure towing bottles.

The main reason is that he may encounter extreme situations on this trip, and he encountered it once before when he went to find Fick from the underground passage, which directly led to the death of the driver Macao.

In fact, this incident is still guilty of this, it happened too fast, if it was a second or two slower, he might be able to save him.

But as Kelsey said, if all the vehicles of the exploration team are destroyed, and all the members survive, maybe there are still wounded inside, then you can't walk back to the Rhode Island ship on your legs, right?"

Okay, Kelsey, I'll do my best to protect them, and I'll break off if necessary, let them go first. Rankopel

eventually agreed to Kelsey's request.

And he specified that the driver must be his own iron guard, and it was none other than Vese.

Weiss was already proficient in swordsmanship and was also a doctor, and this trip to cooperate with his search for the team led by Ayafara can be said to be quite a suitable candidate.

"If nothing else, this should be the final task, Rankopel.

Kelsey sent all the information and guidance of this operation remotely to Rankopel's private terminal, then looked up and continued:

"If you need support from other sources of Rhode Island, you can just speak." Rankopel

shook his head and said:

"No need, now Rhode Island's every move in Rem Pieto is attracting attention, and you must always be wary of being used by people with intentions to make an article, which is not good for Rhode Island."

"So the fewer people, the better, I can take Weiss over, just an ordinary enemy, I can solve it, if it is an enemy that exceeds the standard, no matter how many people are taken in, it is just a vain life."

"Also, thank you Askalen for me, Kelsey. "

It was thanks to her in the last moments of dealing with the source stone vein left by Fick, but even if it is a Sakaz person, with such a large-scale source stone technique, her body must be very uncomfortable.

Kelsey looked at Rankopel and replied,

"I will convey your thanks to her."

"But I also thank you and Rosemary on behalf of the Doctor and the Rhode Island operators in the car." Rankopel

nodded and asked

, "Where has the Doctor gone, isn't he with

you?" Kelsey

replied

, "The Doctor is in the archives dealing with some archival documents about the Rembituo Stone Tide riot,

do you need anything to find the Doctor?"

"Ahhh... That's not true, just ask.

Then, he stretched his body gently, inhaled deeply, smiled and said to Kelsey:

"Then I went... Kelsey.

Kelsey bowed his head lightly, his tone full of admiration without a trace of impurities:

"Hard work on you, Rankopel."

"Be careful along the way. "

......

After saying goodbye to Kelsey, he left the door of the central control room and once again came to Marcel's workshop, which always had a variety of off-road vehicles and wasteland crawlers.

"Oh... Welcome, Mr. Rankopel, I didn't expect you to be back after a while. Marcel

once again welcomed Rankopel enthusiastically.

"That's right, Marcel.

"I need you to prepare two vehicles for me, mainly off-road vehicles or tracked vehicles, each with five seats, stable performance, suitable for driving in the harsh terrain of the Rem Beta Wilderness."

This time, Rankopel said bluntly to Marcel:

"A Rhode exploration team has lost contact on a marked plot in Rembito and sent a distress signal,

so I have to hurry over.

"Please, Marcel.

When Marcel heard this, he immediately slapped his chest hard and said:

"Okay, how can there be any reason to shirk! Wrap it on me!"

"Although this is temporarily without the top goods like the Falcon 27, which are ranked well in Colombia, there are many other excellent off-road vehicles, and all the products that come out of my workshop are boutiques." "
