Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

......

Let's push the timeline forward slightly.

Hours before departure from Rankopel and Vis, 8:10:56am Standard Time.

In the territory of Rembito Country, Mount Natwea (the official name of the volcano into which the source stone vein was broken by Rankopel) is about 20 kilometers from the volcano itself.

There's a Rhode Island volcano exploration team moving forward — and they're the target of Rankopel and Weis.

This Rhode Island volcano exploration team consists of 8 people, codenamed Ayafarah, Polar, Stapler, Large Carton, Quenching String, Silent Wood, Scorched Soil and Wish.

Among them, Ayafara is the leader of this volcano exploration team, Extreme is the messenger of this team, and the stapler, large cardboard box, and quench string are a guard operator, heavy operator, and sniper operator respectively.

Momu and Jiao Yang are volcanologists along with Ayafara and can use spells when necessary, and Willingly is the only one in the team to take on the role of a healer.

The Rhode Island medical operator is a small, but very studious, gentle and kind Pelo girl, who has been constantly asking the extreme about the messenger of natural disasters.

Because she understands that prevention in advance is far more important than treatment after a disaster.

"Mr. Extreme Realm, I have written down what you just told me, thank you for your advice. Wish

Yue gently put the notebook in his hand back into the medical bag again—just now Extreme Realm told her a lot about the Messenger of Natural Disasters and survival in the wild.

Of course, there are many of his own sightings and travelogues, and I find it interesting to write about it.

"It's nothing, Lena... If only I could help you. It

seems that the relationship between the extreme realm and the wish to heal is actually very good, and you can directly call her real name:

"Rem Bituo, this kind of yellow earth can be said to be a familiar type under my feet, as soon as the transmitter in my hand is plugged in and pulled out, I can calculate the wetness coefficient of the soil underneath."

"But well... Volcanoes are places I haven't been to in a long, long time.

"The last most recent trip was to Sami in the north, but I had just crossed a slightly deeper snow when I was stopped by the snow worshippers. "

Hmm... I thought, how about combining these two journeys, piling up a little rhetoric, and creating a short adventure novel called "Forerunner in Ice and Fire"?"

Oh simple name.

Extreme Realm replied with a smile:

"Works with unpretentious titles tend to sell well, and guess what the title of the top book on Casimir's best-selling knightly novel last year was called 'A Little Knight in the Great Knight's Domain', and it ended up with a print run of three million copies a year!"

"

In this team of 8 people, Extreme Realm's ability to liven up the atmosphere along the way is really superb, and he talks a lot but is not annoying, because he can always say many interesting things.

However, don't despise Extreme Realm because he is easy and dashing along the way, and even has some heartless and lungless mentality, in fact, Extreme Realm is a professional natural disaster messenger and an expert in wild survival.

Extreme Realm has extremely deep experience in map surveying and mapping, prevention and treatment of natural disasters, and survival guidance in the wild.

The Polar Realm has traveled to many regions independently, and his footsteps have traveled almost half of the country and the named cities they can report - including the polar realm and desperate situation referred to in his code name.

In addition to his wealth of knowledge and practical experience, Polar Realm also has a strong sense of direction rarely seen in Riboli, he has never forgotten any place he has been, and can quickly outline a clear route in his mind.

Therefore, this operation, as a messenger in the squad, is far more than just enlivening the atmosphere.

"That... Mr. Extreme Realm.

At this moment, the leader of the team, Ayafara, stopped and said to the extreme realm:

"The terrain ahead has changed... Will it affect the route you judged...?" Extreme

Realm immediately replied:

"No, the coordinates of the Rhode Island Safe House are now fixed in my head, and the route cannot be wrong, but you have to make some detours along the way."

"Alas... If only the car hadn't broken down, but this is also a practice, experience.

Then, Ji Jing let out a very short sigh that only he estimated could hear, and then said in an optimistic tone.

It turned out that about half an hour ago, they woke up from the camp and packed up to set off, only to find that the engine of their SUV could not catch fire.

As a result, the stapler and the large paper box both checked and found that the hoods of the two cars were not closed last night, and the temperature difference between day and night was large, allowing the cold to seep in, and as a result, the spark plug was short-circuited.

Later, the stapler and the large carton first took out the spare spark plug from the trunk, and found that the entire line behind the spark plug was also broken.

This probability is actually extremely small, so they did not have a spare set of wiring in their car, and they had to go to the Rhode Island safe house recorded on the coordinates near the volcano to replenish it.

This safe house is actually a supply outpost specially prepared for this volcano exploration team in the future.

After replenishing from this safe house, travel about seven or eight kilometers west to reach the intended location of the research base station.

Fortunately, the car was only about two or three kilometers away from the safe house after it broke down, so the team led by Ayafara could quickly reach it even on foot.

"Mr. Extreme Realm, can't you send a message to this ship now?"

the guards operator stapler on the side also asked Extreme Realm, this question was asked at least three or five times by the other members, but you can imagine its importance.

"Not yet, Mr. Stapler. Extreme

Realm tried to adjust the transmitter in his hand a few more times, shook his head, and said to the stapler:

"Not long ago, there was a very strong magnetic field interference in this vicinity, and the signal unit inside the transmitter was already in a state of disorder and failure.

"It's the same now, we can only rush to the safe house that was sent to us in Rhode Island before using a real signal station, or add a signal amplification device to my transmitter."

"At present, we should be in a state of missing contact, and the ship's side must be in a hurry, but don't be too hurried, the road ahead is not very easy, be careful."

The stapler nodded, now it is only about two kilometers from the coordinates of the Rhode Island safe house, even if you walk with your feet, it will only take half an hour to reach it.

"That... May I go to the road ahead and take a sample of the soil?"

asked Ayafarah.

"Of course, you're the leader of this squad, I'm just a messenger and navigator. Extreme

responded with a smile.

"No... Mr. Extreme Realm is actually very capable... Even I have to learn a lot about survival in the wild.

Ayafara said in a sincere tone.

"Haha, whatever, I'm a little embarrassed to be praised all the way by you.

Ji Jing scratched the feather on his hair and said,

"It's just Miss Ayafara... Forgive me for some offense, I heard that you have some hearing impairment ... But I and the operators have communicated with you a lot, and you can answer our words very clearly. Ayafara

smiled and replied,

"Ahhh... It's because Rhode Island has been rich lately, so I ordered one of the best hearing aids from a company in Colombia before leaving.

"There is a branch warehouse in a mobile city-state in Rembito, and it only took a few days to send it. "

Yes, now there are already mines in a part of the rich mining plots that have been established, and they are starting to make a profit.

"But the road ahead is not easy, I fully admit that you have a deep knowledge of volcanology and geology, but no matter how you say that the road ahead is still on your feet. "

Ji Jing looked at the road ahead, which was full of large and small pits and cracks, and he was familiar with such laws.

And this kind of pits and cracks are at least obvious, not like the hidden ice cracks or snow pits of the Sami tundra, and if you unconsciously sink down, you may not even find the top of your head.

"Let me carry you, Miss Ayafara. Ji

Jing stood in front of Ayafara and bent down to say to him.

"This... You said the same, hard work on you, Mr. Extreme Realm. Ayafara

knew that what Extreme Realm said was indeed very reasonable, and immediately nodded and said in a grateful tone.

"I'll do it anyway.

At this time, the large cardboard box in the team stepped forward, he was a rather strong man with rich hooves, and said to Extreme Realm and Ayafara:

"Let me carry Miss Ayafara, and it will not get in the way for me to carry another person on my back." Extreme

Realm declined in an admiring tone:

"This is not necessary, the heaviest bags along the way are basically large cardboard boxes you are carrying, and you have to carry the shield of the heavy operator, even with the patience of the rich hooves, your muscles should start to ache."

"And the road ahead requires more than strength, everyone just follow me, don't get stuck in the pit, if it causes a chain reaction, it will be more troublesome." "

......

So, Extreme Realm carried Ayafara on his back and led the rest of the team to begin to walk through that harsh terrain, which was indeed very difficult to walk, and even the senior Messenger of Natural Tribulation in Extreme Realm was very cautious.

"Mr. Extreme Realm... You can let me down, some soil samples need to be collected here..."

After a while, Ayafara gently patted Ji Realm's shoulder and said to him.

"Okay, do you need me and the other operators to help you install the equipment? Extreme

Realm said while putting down Ayafara on his back.

"Ahhh... No need, the equipment required to collect soil is very small, I can come by myself..." After

Ayafara gently got off the back of the extreme realm, he began to take out some small instruments from his backpack, which were all professional equipment for sampling the soil near the volcano.

"It's not much different from what was estimated..."

Ayafarah then took a small tube of samples using a soil extraction machine and said:

"There is less volcanic ash... Very rich in minerals... At the same time, accompanied by about 20% of fine source stone particles, in addition to the high content of source stone particles, it is a very standard volcanic soil..." The

two volcanologists of Momu and Jiao Lom also took a sample at different points as a comparative reference, and the samples of the three volcanic soils were similar.

"Miss Ayafara, the results of the analysis are out, similar to your previous results, in line with the prediction. "

Momu and Jiao Yang are actually a pair of siblings, graduated from a well-known university in Colombia at the same time, and also have a good level in volcanology and geology.

After joining Rhode Island, they were active in various locations as Eyjafara's assistants.

"The soil near here is slightly acidic, and it is believed that after the volcanic ash covered the clouds, it reacted with excess sulfur dioxide and rained acid.

Ayafara nodded and replied:

"Well, these data are all recorded, and with this part of the data, we can continue to analyze the direction of volcanic soil analysis changes in this area..."

But at the moment when Ayafara was speaking and putting the soil sample in his hand into his pocket, there was a sudden loud noise from the earth, and then it shook violently.

"Hmm...!" Because

of the violent vibration just now, Ayafara was about to fall when she was unstable - and behind her was actually a very steep rock slope.

"Watch out!"

and Ji Jing stepped forward and firmly inserted the transmitter pole to the ground, using this as a fulcrum, and with the other hand, he fished back Ayafara, who was about to fall.

"Wow, perfect hero to save beauty. It

is undeniable that the action of Extreme Realm just turning around and pulling Ayafara back is indeed extremely professional and indeed very handsome, Extreme Realm held Ayafara's wrist and said with a smile:

"If I were to score myself as a judge, it would be a perfect score!"

But the next second...

Huh - suddenly a millstone-sized

burning stone flew from nowhere in the sky, and it was about to smash into the back of the head.

"Be careful!" Ayafarah

quickly flicked the staff in his hand on the shoulder of the extreme realm, and then immediately cast a spell!

At the top of the staff, a violent heat flew out like a blazing red beam, smashing the stone that was about to hit the back of the extreme realm's head, and only a little hot dust fell on the top of the extreme realm's head.

“...... Well, I'll give Miss Ayafara eleven.

Ji Jing shrugged awkwardly and scratched his head and said to Ayafara.

"It's good that everyone wasn't injured.

Ayafara said, and then began to sample the rock fragment she had broken, first scanning it with the measuring instrument in her hand, and then looking at it after looking at it, she said:

"This should be a spindle-shaped volcanic rock,

and the high-energy stone reaction can be seen on the surface... We have reached the hidden eruption zone of the volcano, please be careful..." After

collecting and packing the rock fragments and soil samples, the sampling was over.
