Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

And at this point, the camera turned.

Rankopel and Fika and the others have converged, because they have received news from Amia and are rushing to the edge of the Rembito border to join the driver in Rhode Island.

......

About ten minutes later, Rankopel and Fika successfully found their wasteland crawler and the Rhode Island driver in an uninhabited corner—a tall Pelo man about thirty or forty years old.

"Fortunately, Mr. Rankopel and Mr. Fica, I am your driver Macao."

As soon as he saw Rankopel and Fica, he greeted them very warmly, shook hands with the two, and said:

"I didn't expect that Marcel guy to be willing to give you this baby!" At that time, he borrowed his car to go to Victory to participate in underground street races, and he talked to me for half a day! If

Marcel had heard this, he would have shouted angrily, Victory's underground racing car is very dark, and there are no limits to the means to win and attract the attention of the audience.

Many cars go in, and the first track may leave four reels or even half an iron frame.

If it weren't for the fact that Macao, a former diehard and car change fan of Marcel, made money and was waiting for money for his daughter to go to Columby's surgery, and borrowed this wasteland crawler named Hayabusa 27 there? That would have happened unless Marcel was killed first.

Of course, Macaou is indeed very technical.

He participated in the race, not only won the championship, received a large amount of money, but also returned half of the car without damage, and the money earned was equally divided with Marcel.

He and his daughter now stay in Rhode Island as resident operators, teaching some other operators about driving experience, especially a series of safety measures during intense driving.

This time, he was assigned to work as a driver for Rankopel and Fica.

"Hello, Macao."

Rankopel said to him equally politely,

"Please give us a ride along the way."

Macao waved his hand and said:

"No trouble, no trouble, how to say, I think driving is a pleasure, although the same thing will be tired of doing too much, but I guess it is not to that extent."

"I haven't touched this beautiful little girl for a long time, see how much my level has improved compared to before!"

Rankopel noticed that Macaou was very skilled in speaking Columbi, so he asked,

"Mr. Macaou is a Columbian man?"

Rankopel had also spoken in Columbian before, so Macao was a little surprised:

"Mr. Rankopel? Are you not a Columbi? I listen to your Columbian and speak it fluently... Ah, I remember, Dr. Kelsey and I mentioned that you were from Leitania..." Rankopel

replied

, "Yes, but I learned many languages in Usas,

and Colombian is just one of them."

Macaou replied:

"Learning a language is the most basic threshold for entering a country, Mr. Rankopel, and I am a native of Columby, and I come from the center of Tripon, the city of Trimont."

"In the beginning, I opened an auto repair shop in Columby, but well... Alas, the world is unpredictable, it is not convenient to talk about specifics, anyway, because of a medical accident, my family and I left Columby.

"Now I'm a normal driver."

Afterwards, Macaou took the lead in entering the driver's seat of the Falcon 27 wasteland crawler and said to Rankopel and Fika:

"Come in too, Miss Amia and the Doctor are repairing the ship and handling a series of entry matters, we will go one step ahead, they will come in about a day."

Rankopel and Fika immediately entered their seats and fastened their seat belts, while Macao also closed the windshield compartment and turned on the internal air conditioning.

"Okay, guys, here we go."

Macaoo said to Rankopel and Fica, and then suddenly pressed the button to ignite the engine.

Buzz——!!

As if the ancient behemoth had been awakened, there was a dull roar, and the display screen in front of it was also lit up, and a series of instrument information was displayed layer by layer, extremely clear.

"According to the location provided to us by Mr. Fica, the straight-line distance of the steel radish mine is about five hundred kilometers away from us, and considering the terrain and climatic factors, we should be able to reach it tonight."

Macao said as he jerked the accelerator.

Boom——!!

The excellent performance of the Hayabusa 27 is indeed extraordinary, and in the harsh road conditions of this wild sandy area, the whole car is immediately accelerated and rushed out without the slightest delay.

"Ah, sorry, Mr. Rankopel, Mr. Fica, my habit of driving cars hasn't completely changed at that time."

Macaou suddenly remembered something, said to himself and Fica, and then began to slowly reduce the speed, Rankopel just felt nothing, but Fika was a little uncomfortable.

"Are you all right, Fita?"

Rankopel said as he used the Source Stone technique to evacuate Fika's blood that had just accelerated rapidly.

"It's okay, leader, thank you."

Fika's expression was soothed by his movements and thanked Rankopel.

"Fika, now that we have entered the territory of Rembito, can we get in touch with the Steel Radish Mine and inform your family of your return?"

Rankopel then looked at Fika and asked.

"No, leader, I've been trying just now, my family's communication seems to be currently disconnected, and I use different signals in a row to access the same."

Fika said with some concern:

"Maybe something happened in my family, I hope my brother can handle it."

"Yes, Fika, your brother has only one thing to deal with now.

That's you, Fika Lones.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Rankopel."

At this time, Macao opened his mouth and said to himself:

"Are you hungry, I just bought something to eat at the lunch stall over there in Rembito, it seems to be a burrito, there are a bunch of people lining up, I guess it should taste good."

After he said that, he handed Rankopel a package of food that was still steaming.

"What is it?"

Lan Koper took the wrap-like food that Macaoo handed him, and took a look inside, it was actually fried bugs similar to locusts.

"Fried Pakang, a specialty of Rembito, the locals love to eat, just look a little scary,"

but Fika first opened his mouth to make a simple science popularization to Rankopel.

“...... Rembiton is scarce and flora and fauna are scarce, so many edible arthropods have been tried to be discovered, such as this Pakang worm. "

“emmmmmm...... If you've ever eaten the charcoal-grilled sandworm legs exported from Shista, you should know a little bit about this special ingredient, although it's not as well-known as the charcoal-grilled sandworm legs. Rankopel

thought for a moment and said, "

Okay, I'll try it."

Then he took a big bite and chewed carefully.

"Oh, it tastes good!"

After chewing a few times, he suddenly showed a surprised look, this bug has no explosive taste, all of them are fried crispy, and the taste is similar to the fried small yellow fish I ate in my previous life.

Even being wrapped in wraps is much less greasy, no wonder the locals like to eat this delicacy so much, the taste is indeed very good, there is a strange umami taste.

"That's natural, leader, it's one of the few things in my hometown that I can bring my hands to."

Fika raised his head proudly and said:

"It's just that Pakang insects are generally found in the weeds in the Rembito wilderness, and there are many Pakang insects in captivity now, but once this bug is out of the environment and climate of Rembito, it is difficult to survive."

"So if you want to eat fried Pakang in other places, it's not cheap, this thing even has to be sold for 50 brothers each in Columbi, which is not affordable for ordinary people."

Rankopel took another bite and said,

"This is good, after the matter of the steel radish mine, go buy a few more to eat."

At this time, Rhode Island operator Macao spoke:

"Mr. Rankopel, this fried Pakang... In fact, there are also Rhode Island cafeterias, but there are quite few people who eat, and they are basically locals from Rembitou..."

"After all... Most of the operators and partners are not used to eating bugs... But a few of the Safra are regular visitors over there..." Then

he also took out two fried Pacans, one to Fika and one to the storage compartment in the center of the center console, which he left for himself to eat.

Although he wants to drive, the wasteland crawler is equipped with an extremely advanced intelligent driving assistance system, so the driver can occasionally free one hand to do something like drinking or eating.

Rankopel nodded and said to Macao:

"This car... Is it complicated to drive?

Macaou immediately replied

, "It's not complicated,

that's what I just taught you."

"After all, the back of this car is completely left to you to use, and this girl is a good razor in the wilderness, no matter what kind of bad terrain can plow like a hot knife cutting butter."

Subsequently, Macaou first entrusted part of the driving to the intelligent driving system of the Falcon 27, picked up the fried Pakang on the side and nibbled it, and began to introduce it to Rankopel and Fika.

"Here is the center console, from top to bottom, in turn, ignition switch, gear adjustment, driving mode selection, calibration of the road navigation system and multi-function knob..."

"Here is the water spray cleaning switch of the front dust glass... On the left is a series of volume and timing adjustments for the audio system, and the track differential locks on the buttons below it..."

"Then I will introduce you to the interactive functions of a series of intelligent systems on the most important center control screen... If you learn this, then basically everything else will be easy to do..."

....

Rankopel listened and learned, and the car he drove in his previous life was not small, but after all, it was still a car, used to drive and drive, and its principle has not changed much.

So, under the instruction of the driver Macao, Rankopel basically understood the operating mechanism of this wasteland crawler after more than ten or twenty minutes.

As a matter of fact...... Indeed, it is not difficult, most of them have intelligent systems to assist driving to help, and Columbi's vehicle system is usually based on high-tech liberation of the driver's hands.

Macaou also said that if Columbi develops more than ten years ahead, maybe the profession of driver will become extinct in the future, and it will become purely intelligent driverless.

......

In this way, Rankopel, Fika and Rhode Island driver Macaou rode in a wasteland crawler towards the direction of the steel radish mine.
