The ancient dragon of Arknights

Neltharion wanted to get up and hit Cerea, but when he was about to use his strength, he felt the emptiness all over his body - the effect of berserk: consuming a lot of energy to gain a rapid improvement in physical fitness in a short period of time.

The Misty Claw usually eats once when using this move to make up for the huge energy gap; but there is no food around when Neltharion uses it, so most of the energy he gets comes from his own energy reserves.

I feel that this move will be a magic trick to lose weight, but in a place where supplies are scarce now, it is a coup to commit suicide, and it is still the most miserable way to starve to death.

"Goo-"

Neltharion's stomach began to growl, and he struggled to get up. He had to eat immediately!

'Those two traffickers had to cross the desert, so it was impossible that they didn't prepare supplies, which were probably the few bags and boxes in the carriage. '

Seria also stepped forward to lend a hand. She helped Nessario go to the carriage. The two siblings were both exhausted. If another wave of people came at this time, they would probably be in trouble.

But no matter how bad fate is, he will never treat two children like this.

As the wooden crates were opened, what came into view were cans stacked on top of each other. After opening several other packages, they also found drinking water, medicine, folding tents, wilderness survival kits and other useful things.

Neltharion was eating like crazy at the moment. He ate several cans in the blink of an eye, while Seria was also replenishing energy.

"No map or contact found..."

While eating, Seria thought about what to do next. What she was most concerned about was the map and the contact device, but these packages were rummaged through and she couldn't find them.

"Sister...map...contact device..."

"Swallow it before you talk..."

Seria was a little helpless. She looked at the Vaifan (?) child in front of her and was filled with emotion. He had not shown any mercy when fighting before, and he was not afraid of pain and blood.

At this moment, the way he was eating was as eager as a Zalak beast relative, and the huge contrast made Ceria feel dumbfounded.

But...she herself wasn't much better. The calcium substance attached to her palms was still stained with bright red blood.

"The map and communicator are needed all the time. They definitely won't put them in the car. Go look for them in the cab. It should be there."

"You're right...just keep eating, I'll go look for it."

"me and you together."

Neltharion has received enough replenishment after the "binge eating" just now, and the next goal is naturally to find hope of survival.

"However, let's take care of the wound before that."

The map and contact device will not run away with long legs, but the wound will indeed become inflamed and infected if left untreated for a long time, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.

"Sister, your hands are inconvenient now. Let me do it."

"It's troublesome."

"how could be."

Nessario took apart the medical supplies and found disinfectant, hemostatic medicine, and trauma medicine that would be used later.

Ceria had a lot of bruises, which could be solved by just applying some medicine. The one that was causing trouble was the arrow on her shoulder.

The depth of the arrow's penetration was not too deep, because the crossbow used by the scavenger was made by him, and the materials for that thing were all scavenged, so naturally it would not be very powerful.

"Sister, hold it back."

"bring it on."

Ceria bit the clothes she took off in her mouth, preparing to endure the pain afterwards; Neltharion clenched the tweezers in his hand, and as he quickly and accurately pulled out the arrow, Ceria's body also felt pain. And trembled.

After Neltharion pulled out the arrow, he carefully checked and confirmed that there was no source stone component or quenching poison on it - after all, if it had been quenched, Ceria would have been unable to withstand it; what he was more worried about was the former, the ore. The disease is incurable, and more importantly is the subsequent social impact. Seria's future will be cut off.

Mineral disease: a disease caused by long-term contact with Originium or activities in an environment with high concentrations of Originium dust; the disease is manifested as the body structure at the lesion begins to mineralize and gradually spreads; there is a chance that the sourceite-ized parts will become inoperable Predicted lesions can also improve the patient's spell strength and physical fitness; but if the condition is not controlled, when the concentration of Source Stone is too high, the human body will turn into an active bomb and explode.

The label on that person can only be of value before suffering from mineral sickness; if you are labeled with mineral sickness, then everything you have in the past will be covered by it - don't think that those thugs in the wilderness of Terra are all illiterate. guy.

There are many lawyers, doctors, military officers, politicians and other celebrities among them, but they all have the same identity at the moment - infected persons.

Back to the topic, the treatment is not over yet - pulling out the arrow is only the first step. What is more critical is the subsequent disinfection, hemostasis and application of medicine.

Neltharion gently poured the disinfectant on the wound, and the sharp sting made Ceria's face turn a little pale.

The whole process of treatment lasted for a while. Ceria's arrow wound was treated, and further treatment was needed to ensure that it would not become inflamed; other bruises were also carefully applied by Nessario.

"It's not good, sister. Will the smell of blood bring new dangers?"

The bandage used to treat Serea's wound was stained with blood, and Neltharion's well-developed nose could smell the smell of blood at this moment. He could smell it, and so could the beast.

"The Origin Stone Bug will not react to the smell of blood, but other carnivorous beasts will."

"It seems we have to hurry up."

"Wait...your injury."

Ceria planned to help Neltharion deal with his wounds. Neltharion's leg was sprained before, so that also needed to be taken seriously.

"My injury doesn't matter..."

Neltharion is not trying to be brave, this is the truth.His body has undergone earth-shaking changes, but it has not been fully displayed due to the short time; but it can be seen from his recovery power - this guy's injury has been mostly healed at this moment.

Even the most severe sprains and injuries leave only a vague sense of pain.

Facts have proved that Nesario's deduction was correct, and he easily found the map and contact device in the driver's seat.

There are many magical things on the continent of Terra, including the wonder of the "moving city".

The most efficient, convenient, and abundant energy source on the continent of Terra is the Source Stone. The Source Stone has given rise to industry and various Source Stone techniques, and has also brought about extremely dangerous "natural disasters."

There are still many secrets of the Source Stone that have not been explored, but what is currently known is that "natural disasters" will bring the Source Stone.

Hail, meteorites, heavy rains, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions - most of the terrible natural disasters on Terra are natural disasters.Wherever they go, there will be no grass growing, and the ground will feel like it has been crushed. However, countless Originium crystal clusters will appear within the scope of the disaster - these things will become efficient Originium energy after being refined for several rounds.

Therefore, after natural disasters comes rolling wealth.

But this wealth is stained with blood, because the large number of Originium crystal clusters will cause the concentration of surrounding Originium dust to greatly increase. Working in this environment without protective gear will definitely lead to infection.

Countless infected people were produced from those irregular black-hearted mines.

"Mobile City" is designed to avoid natural disasters. You must know that the difficulty and wealth spent on building a city are astronomical. In order to prevent the city that you have worked so hard to build from being shattered by a natural disaster.

Terra's engineers moved the cities onto the platform, and then installed crawler tracks on the platform - so the cities began to move away.

The key is that the power of the Source Stone really makes this idea become a reality - it is best not to choose materials science and energy science when studying science on Terra, which will make people unfortunate.

"The mobile city will not be marked on the map. We need to use the liaison device to consult the disaster messenger or the city radio to know the location of Tikalundo."

"Is there a signal?"

"Very weak and unstable."

Neltharion is very bad at this kind of technical things, but Ceria understands this aspect.

"Sister, can you drive a land vehicle?"

"......Won't."

"I do not know either."

In fact, even if two people can drive, it will be useless because their height is completely unable to reach the accelerator.

After that, it was a boring wait. There was usually a layer of Originite particles distributed in the sky of Terra, so the development of Terra's aerospace technology was slow, and it could even be said to be a blank slate.

The mobile city they built on land can carry tens of thousands of tons of weight, but in the sky, no one has even experienced airflow above 2000 meters.

Therefore, things like satellites are even more nonsense. Without satellites as relay transmission signals, coupled with the interference of Originium particles in the air, the spread of Terra's information is restricted.

I hope Tikalundo is not too far away from here, otherwise the two siblings can only pin their hopes on whether a caravan passes by.

"Zizi-"

"Sister! There is a sound!"

"Hold on."

After an unknown amount of time, the contactor suddenly made a sound - although it was a noisy sound of electricity, it was enough to indicate one thing, that is, a signal source was approaching.

Ceria adjusted the signal, and the originally noisy sound of electricity suddenly fell silent, and then sounded again, but this time the sound that sounded was the sound of human words.

"Polly Mark, Fred Wayne - suspected of multiple kidnappings in Colombia, arrested once but released due to lack of evidence; kidnapped two children again in Ticalendo city one day ago, The evidence is conclusive. You are now officially wanted by the interstate police, so put down your weapons and be at ease!"

It seems that the hands and feet of the lanky man and the short and fat man are not as clean as they thought. Shortly after Ceria and Nesario were kidnapped, a team of interstate police chased them - this group of elites was better than Tika The bunch of losers in London are much more powerful.

Tikalendo's security force did not intend to pursue the two siblings, Ceria and Neltharion. After all, the enemy had fled into the wilderness, and it was not a place that one could go to or return to whenever they wanted.And the place is so big, who knows where they were caught.

All the interstate police need is evidence that the two siblings were kidnapped in the first place - this is the key to arresting people.

The two kidnappers have kidnapped many people in the past, including some rich young men. They just accepted the commission and then did it, which is the so-called black glove.

I don’t know how many such black gloves will be used in Colombia’s group fights and family wars. Who will close the door and care about them?

It's a pity that I often walk by the river, and there are shoes that don't get wet.They themselves may not even know what big figures they got involved in that operation, or what maelstrom they got involved in.

Anyway, some big shot pushed the interstate police to catch both of them.

"The two traffickers have been dealt with, and where we are now is..."

Neltharion quickly handed the map to Ceria and pointed to the marks left on it.

Ceria reported truthfully, and the other end was silent for a while, and then asked them to stay where they were.

About 10 minutes later, two modified land vehicles with South Carolina flags printed on them rushed over.

Neltharion and Ceria were received and confirmed to be safe, and the three corpses were also collected. The police officers quickly recorded the surrounding environment.

This thing didn't end well. The guys who asked to be captured alive turned into corpses, and the people who killed them...

"It was the scavenger - he attacked here. So we found our opportunity."

Neltharion and Ceria responded flexibly. Their wounds could be said to be caused by abuse, but the calcium substance on Ceria's hands, the different blood stains on Neltharion's body, and the unique wounds on the corpse... There was no way to hide the traces, and it was hard to explain that there was no one left in the melee between the three.

So they chose to avoid the light and take the heavy, at least not to expose Neltharion's unique physique. Ceria still had a limited understanding of the darkness, but she knew very well that her brother could not be treated as a monster.

The final outcome of the matter will take some time.

But Neltharion and Ceria were at least successfully rescued. They were sent back to Tilarondo City, and both of them received treatment. Afterwards, Ceria might be able to test her Origin Stone skills.

Chapter 22 Aftermath

As the wheels slowly stopped turning, the interstate police team successfully returned to Tikalendo.

When they emerged from the entrance and exit of the mobile city, the Tikalundo police who came to greet them and the reporters who knew about the incident did not quite believe the outcome of the incident - two children were kidnapped, and the robbers escaped in a land vehicle. In the wilderness, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Is it possible that we can actually find it?

If this is true, then how can the police in Tikalendo City have the nerve to stay here?After all, they haven't even made corresponding efforts.

"Sister, we are back."

"Officer, thank you."

"It's your responsibility...but you may have to cooperate with us for a while in the future, and some things still need to be investigated."

"understand."

When the bandaged Ceria and Neltharion jumped off the lander, the reporters around them almost clicked their shutters. They were taking pictures while thinking about their next actions.

Should he step forward to grab the best interview position or quickly return to the newspaper office to grab the headline of tomorrow's morning paper?

But compared to the reporter's happiness and troubles, the local police in Tikalendo are a bit untenable. They had previously announced that this case could not be pursued...

Predictably, the interstate policemen received flowers and accolades, while the Tikalendo policemen received only infamy and scorn.

The Colombian press is such that swarms of reporters in the society can quickly catch a lot of big news - but the news that can be distributed is usually much less.

After all, most scandals will be related to those chaebols and groups; if the newspaper publishes their scandal, the newspaper may go bankrupt tomorrow.

Therefore, news like this without fear of retaliation will be widely publicized, hoping that the whole world will know about it.

And then those so-called sociologists, critics and the like will rush up and stomp on us like beasts that smell blood.

The salaries of the policemen in Tikalendo City will probably be severely cut in the future. What the police chief should be thinking about now is to achieve results quickly to seek forgiveness from society.

Nesario and Ceria were transferred to the ambulance. They are now children who are of great concern to society, and many public resources are tilted towards them - don’t be surprised, Colombian society is so strange.

Some important things will be delayed again and again because of the obstruction of the chaebol, but some little-known trivial things will attract widespread attention after public opinion ferments.

......

"Are you sure the results of the investigation are correct? To me, this looks like something a gangster would write after being hungover."

Inside the Interstate Police Temporary Station

A voice came from the intercity communication. Judging from the content, the other party was very dissatisfied with the police officers' action report.

"But according to our investigation, the facts seem to be like this..."
