Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

Albeit...... The energy used in the Hayabusa 27's lamps is also powered by source stones, but the internal device for storing source stones is very strong and is made of high-quality alloy steel.

If you want to continue walking in the underground cave, a light source is essential, so Rankopel intends to perform the operation in his mind.

Although the orange-red refined source stone of this transformation seems to be conscious and alive, its essence is still the refined source stone, which can still be used as an energy supply.

"And

when Rankopel was about to go to the front of the Falcon 27 to remove the lights, a sudden change occurred!

Bang!!!

With a bang, the Hayabusa 27, which had originally rolled over on its side, returned to its normal position due to some applied force - and the source of that force was the engine that had burst out the orange-red source stone crystal cluster!!

Buzz——!!!

And what Rankopel didn't expect next was that this wasteland crawler almost suddenly catapulted and started and crashed straight towards him at the fastest speed!!

"Blood Iron Spear!!"

Lan Keper drank violently, and the blood and iron wave around him immediately rolled upside down, forming three arm-thick black and red spears above his shoulders!

Boom——!!

No matter how fast the Falcon 27 is, this is only the starting speed, so Rankopel can still catch the traces of its flying with the powerful dynamic vision that steamed blood gives him.

Bang!!!

Three blood-iron spears immediately flew out and changed direction for the second time in midair, one directly stabbed into its engine, and the other two smashed down like clubs, completely subduing it to the ground.

Buzz....

This also completely destroyed its tracks, and it could no longer operate normally, and the engine was directly shattered, and the orange-red refining source stones used to supply energy inside also flew out.

Fortunately, the Hayabusa 27's lights are not broken, and its system and energy supply are independent, which also means that Rankopel can be dismantled as a mobile light source.

"The car... They all feel like they're alive..." Rankopel

took a breath, and Fika next to him almost hugged his waist.

Of course, he didn't pull him away, and if possible, Rankopel even wished to let Fika directly into his body, and he could rest assured alone.

Bang bang!!

Lan Kepel stepped forward and summoned the iron hammer, and it smashed it again, crushing all the orange-red refining source stone fragments and fragments that flew out into powder.

"Whew... Gotta speed up..."

Rankopel gasped, then stood in front of the Hayabusa 27.

"You have to get the light source as soon as possible... I'm sorry...... Marcel...... Macao... This wasteland crawler you gave me was destroyed by me after the first use..."

said Rankopel as he stepped forward to carefully remove the lights of the Hayabusa 27, the only source of light they could find that could be used and the most effective.

It's just that because of the violent collision just now, the refining source stone used to supply the energy of the car lights was thrown out from the inside of the energy compartment, so now the lights are off.

"Let's try it... Even if you are really alive and have your own consciousness, you are only refining source stones... Refining Source Stones that can be used as energy..." Rankopel

bent down to grab some orange-red refining source stone chips from the ground.

But he could still feel the itching and squirming, and Rankopel spread out his palm to see that these things were still converging, but much slower than before.

Shh

Rankopel poured all these orange-red chips into the hatch of the lamp for energy supply, and the pile up was only about the size of a finger, and he was still scattered.

"Well... Now turn on the headlights... Just now, Fika threw out the remains of the smashed source stone lamp, and it won't burn for long... Once it's dark, I probably won't be able to keep Fika. At

this time, Rankopel's heart was spinning, and then he began to look for the switch of the headlight.

"Found it, here."

I quickly found it, both the disassembly of the lights and the internal structure were unexpectedly simple, exactly the same as Macao's explanation to himself in the car.

"Now light up the light source."

Rankopel raised the lights forward, then slammed the switch button!!

Airplanes!!!!!

Neither Fika nor Rankopel expected that the headlight with the crystals of the orange-red refining source stone in their hands actually burst out as bright as the sun! !

Fika couldn't open his eyes at all, and even Rankopel squinted until his pupils slowly adjusted, but this light was no longer at the same level as the brightness that burst out when driving before.

“...... Such a strong energy conversion effect?!! "

Rankopel was really shocked from the soul this moment.

You know, the source stone supply of the Hayabusa 27's headlights is independent, but there is also a fist-sized space inside the hatch where the refined source stone is placed.

Generally, it is necessary to plug it almost exactly the size of it, and even seems to be a piece of refined source stone embedded inside as an energy supply, but the crystals of the orange-red refined source stone placed by Lankoper are only half the size of a finger.

But the burst of light is more than ten times brighter than the light emitted by the previous car when driving!

This also means that the energy conversion efficiency of this orange-red refining source stone is tens or even hundreds of times higher than that of the ordinary refining source stone used before!

"It's just... This is simply..." Fika

, who specializes in the fields of source stone veins and geology, was even shocked by this scene, and he knew best what this scene in front of him meant.

"Fick... Fick...!! My brother... That's really what he did! Only he can do it! Can do this... It's like a miramentous but horrible thing!!

Fika's tone was almost trembling.

You know, the energy conversion benefits of this orange-red source stone vein brought by Fick are not several times or even more than ten times higher than the energy conversion generated by other source stone veins, but tens or even hundreds of times! ! !

It should be known that the source stone is the most widely used energy source in Terra, and the benefits that can be made behind it are huge, and the changes are huge, and even the entire Terra continent will be crazy.

And just imagine, if this orange-red source stone was used in the military field... As a result, Rankopel only felt a chill down his spine after only a cursory description.

"Fika... Your brother was in the old days... Ever discovered... Or have you ever made this orange-red source stone crystal? Rankopel

asked in a quick tone.

"As far as I remember... It seems to have, but it's not quite clear... I'm sorry...... Leader.

Fika thought for a moment and said to Rankopel.

"It's okay... This time we have to figure out exactly what Fick wants to do... He's completely playing with something he simply can't control... Be sure to stop him. Rankopel

spoke firmly, and then shouted:

"Blood iron... Come!! "

Boom -

with Rankopel's voice, the iron elements in the air and in the earth immediately condensed into small waves of iron sand, and their own blood began to transpire and excrete.

Suddenly, black-red heteroiron filings surrounded Rankopel and Fika like waves, and he couldn't predict what would happen next.

So you have to put on strong alert.

If there is a change, Rankopel can deploy the black and red iron wave around him at any time to condense attack or defend, which is a small field of his own.

However, this realm form consumes Rankopel's physical strength and spirit every minute, and if it does not encounter a battle, it is fine, and its consumption will speed up when it encounters a battle.

If the previous alert form is maintained for too long, Rankopel's combat effectiveness may be reduced, unless he can catch the material of blood therapy to accelerate recovery.

However, even if blood therapy is possible, the number of times is limited.

Once the blood therapy is over, Lankoper may completely remain in this underground space and become a real vampire, and Fika will definitely die in his own hands.

So, both he and Fika have to hurry.

Crash!!

The wave of blood and iron condensed into a tentacle, provoked all the two headlights that he had disassembled, and then Rankopel's side rotated and searched, and he seemed to become a small day in the center.

If it is an ordinary person, don't say that it is to see the Rankopel inside, when there is no filter function of the goggles, when looking directly at yourself with the naked eye, it will be temporarily blind.

"Okay, Fika, let's go."

He let Fika grab the hem of his clothes, and then continued to the depths of the passage, and before leaving, Rankopel smashed all the orange-red source stone crystals found here into powder.

And he wrapped part of it with blood iron as a backup energy source.

"Leaders ... If I die, die here... Please also be sure to please... Go stop my brother... Please... The Lornes family will definitely repay you..."

Fika whispered behind Rankopel.

"Listen, Fika."

Rankopel turned around, put his hands on his shoulders, and said:

"I cherish the lives of every iron guard under my command, this is not something that money and other rewards can directly match, your brother... I'm going to stop him anyway.

"So stop saying such demoralizing words, follow behind me, as always, if anything dares to hurt you, my iron will crush them, and my blood will engulf them."

"You just have to follow behind me and I'll lead the way, and if you're afraid, you can bury your head behind my clothes, you remember, there's me in front."

Fika was very moved, but no longer said anything, but silently clenched his fists.

Rankopel said no more, remained silent, and led Fika step by step into the depths of darkness, and after walking for less than five minutes, he suddenly changed.

Whoosh....

"The light ... Actually weakened so much? Rankopel

suddenly found that the pair of headlights raised by his blood iron suddenly became dim from incomparably bright just now, almost becoming less than half the brightness of the lights when driving before.

"That's not right... The benefits of energy conversion are still 100%... It's not that there's a lack of energy... The indicators are also showing normal... There is no failure..." Rankopel

checked first, but found no problem... It was as if the light had been swallowed by something inexplicably, and even the shadows showed a streamlined divergence.

"Leaders ... Something... I don't know how to describe it... They suppress the light...,"

Fika said to Rankopel, his tone a little alarmed.

"It's okay, I'm here, Fitca."

Rankopel looked at the light that had become dim... If it is an ordinary light before the crystallization of the orange-red source stone is not used, according to this suppression ratio, it will be too small to be seen at all.

That is to say, Macaou and himself driving the Falcon 27 will plunge directly into the darkness.

At this time, he could also feel an indescribable sense of oppression coming from ahead, and it was probably this inexplicable thing that suppressed the light.

Front...... What's there, exactly?
