Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

After bidding farewell to Scout, Ayafara and Rankopel set off towards Mount Kinawea without delay.

Because the limestone was too large to climb the volcano, Rankopel left the limestone in place, dug a crypt and buried himself.

It has two eyes exposed, not moving like ordinary stone pillars, and after the volcano tour, they will return to pick up the limestone and return to Rhode Island.

At this time, after Rankopel forcibly opened the tank and threw a whole vein of source stone for more than ten kilometers, the frequency of volcanic activity has far exceeded before.

Boom buzz... Boom....

Every day, the crater will erupt dozens of tons of volcanic debris from time to time, and the convoy of himself and others even happened to meet a baptism of volcanic ash when they were about to arrive at Kinawee.

After passing through the gray area, the two pitch-black Deep Advance Forwarders had been covered in a lot of dark gray volcanic ash, while the other two SUVs had basically changed their color in the garage.

......

After arriving at the foot of the volcano, everyone got out of the car, and Rankopel immediately organized Weiss and everyone to clean the surface of the car first, so as not to deposit volcanic ash into deeper crevices and parts.

"Does this count as Mr. Volcano giving us a precursor to deterrence first... The volcanic ash covered in the car shell is two centimeters thick, and it feels like it has passed through a gray blizzard..." At

this time, Extreme Realm in the team said to himself half-jokingly while turning on the on-board water pump and aiming it at the body with a high-pressure sprinkler.

Poof....

The ejected water and volcanic ash mixed into a dark gray turbid slurry that flowed down the body.

In fact, volcanic ash is a rather harmful substance.

Volcanic ash is different from soot, it is a hard small particle that is insoluble in water, and inhalation of volcanic ash can cause damage to the respiratory tract and lungs of humans and animals, leading to respiratory diseases.

At the same time, these volcanic materials can block the sun, causing temperatures to drop, crop yields to decrease, and in severe cases, species extinction.

However, specially treated volcanic ash is an excellent agricultural fertilizer, and can also be used to mix cement into building materials, bringing prosperity to crops and providing shelter for people.

Even according to Ayafarah, before her death, her parents were working on a special treatment called "Volcanic Ash Healing", especially for small injuries.

Now that he has taken over the research progress of his parents, and with the help of many Rhode Island medical researchers, this new treatment method has even advanced to the stage of clinical testing.

That's good news.

"Hey..." As

the pillar of the team, Rankopel took the initiative to carry the volcano detector, and as soon as he reached out, he carried a backpack the size of half a person on his shoulder.

This thing is not light, and it is the single most critical item of this mission, so it is the safest choice to carry it yourself.

The volcano energy detector of the beach umbrella company has been turned off and stored in the off-road vehicle, and when it returns to the ship, it will see if there is a way to turn it into something of their own, and give it to Ayafara to use.

"Leader, the car is all done, there is no big problem, there is a car with some volcanic ash in the hood, I and the stapler have cleaned it with a small brush, no different from before."

At this time, Weiss came over and said to himself, and the stapler on the side also gave him a thumbs up:

"I really didn't expect Mr. Weiss to be able to do such a delicate job, some small gaps with a brush are just like threading a needle, it's really worthy of being a warrior under your command."

Rankopel didn't know much about Weiss – in fact, what he didn't know was that the Sakaz warrior could even knit sweaters and different patterns.

In Novochernoberg, Weiss asked for a sweater shop, slowly picking up the craft, and often went to farm in the red wheat field left by Lige.

He is an excellent talent who can do rough work with both hands and do fine work.

Then

, after parking the vehicles in a safe shelter, everyone began to take out the projectile safety rope from their backpacks, and the other end hung firmly on their bodies.

This is because it is about a kilometer away from the foot of the mountain to the nearest platform where you can stay.

But this kilometer is basically vertical from all angles of the volcano, not to mention vehicles, even people cannot travel from the plane level to that area.

In other words, they can only reach it by climbing the cliffs of the volcano with their bare hands.

Volcano climbing in the true sense of the word.

Ayafara

had already fastened the safety rope for climbing, and as the leader of the squad, she was the first to stand in front of everyone.

The breath of the earth is as heavy as it is remembered.

The blood of the earth is as hot as the memory.

The pulse of the earth is as majestic as it is in memory.

Climb it, Ayafara.

Climb it, Adele Nauman.

"Whew..."

Ayafara sighed softly in her palm—a move she would make as a child before climbing the climbing wall of her family's replica volcanic rock.

My father once said to her, Adele, go forward bravely, and the earth will give you our answer.

And my mother once said to her, Adele, it's not too far, and when you wake up, my mother will come back to you.

The sound eventually flows farther away....

[Adele, this is the first volcano that Katia and I have climbed, and maybe one day, you will also climb the volcano that belongs to you. Volcanoes

are difficult to climb, but they make magma easy to rush.

Ayafara has recorded many volcanic area expeditions, but if you want to count the summit volcano... Then it was the first attempt in her life.

"Please look at me in another world... Mom and Dad... Your daughter has grown up..."

the girl closed her eyes and whispered, and when she opened them again, Ayafarah's gaze had become extremely determined, and she looked at the

mighty volcano without fear.

Boom....

The living giant did not care what the girl thought, but stood silently here, exhaling extremely hot breaths, and Ayafara felt that she was standing on the chest of the earth's breath.

"Come on."

Ayafara thought silently, and finally checked the hearing aids in her body and ears, and then began to climb along the safety rope that had been driven into the rock formation above.

"Keep up with the leader, although the distance is only close to one kilometer, but everyone must be cautious, volcano climbing can be dozens of times higher than ordinary mountaineering."

Extreme Realm was the first to pull the safety rope while speaking, and was the first to jump into a climbable area with agility, and the feeling of irregular rocks that were hot and cold was very strange when held in his hand.

Syllable!

Unexpectedly, the second brave climb forward was Lena, she followed the side and rear of the extreme realm, and then everyone in the squad followed and began to climb vertically.

And Rankopel naturally does not need a safety cable, which is a burden for him, and his own skills and the assistance of trace source stone skills are enough to ensure that he can walk freely on the cliff wall.

I have even swept over and overlooked the volcano from a very high altitude, and climbing from the bottom up with the Rhode Island operators is a novel experience for me.

In fact, this area can use his source stone skills to make this vertical cliff face have a lot of climbable objects made of iron elements.

Even using hook locks and wires, I could even easily fly them directly up – but I didn't do it myself.

When it came time to use his Source Stone technique, Rankopel never hesitated even though he knew that it was equivalent to consuming his own life.

But right now, if you use the Source Stone Technique, it is equivalent to harming Ayafara and them, and this dangerous situation is the best place to hone your spirit and increase your experience.

Just like when butterflies break their cocoons, if someone "kindly" helps them cut the cocoon, then the poor butterfly can no longer flap its wings and fly into the sky.

Unless there is a real life-threatening emergency, Rankopel will not intervene in this form of cheating to harm them, and it is easy to relax their spirits if they can't gain a little experience from it.

"Everyone, be careful... Be sure to check carefully when touching a raised rock that can be climbed, and stop climbing immediately if you touch a large number of foamy pores.

During the climb, Ayafara said quickly in a young voice, but in an experienced and rapid tone.

The foamy pores represent that the rock has been subjected to wind erosion for a long time, and the interior has long been a very small and dense cavity-like structure, which has been hollowed out in half.

This type of rock is very common here, and the interior of the wind-eroded rock may also be inhabited by some poisonous or non-toxic small creatures, which is the number one trouble that climbers need to pay attention to.

Rankopel, on the other hand, remained about twenty or thirty meters above them, and along the way he actually saw quite a few stones that matched Ayafara's description.

But under everyone's careful inspection and avoidance, none of them were triggered.

Although there is a safety cable protection, once the slippage phenomenon occurs, if you encounter any raised hard objects during the fall, it is likely to cause fractures or internal injuries.

Boom buzz... Boom....

From time to time, the shaking of the mountain occurred, and most of what fell was some dust, as if the volcano knew that someone was going to its peak from its feet.

It neither welcomed nor refused, but simply accepted flatly and gave the test.

Snap... Snap

....

And Ayafara led her team to slam her palms into the rocks in one fell swoop, each time taking her body higher above the ground.

"When you go up, you must pay attention to whether there is a rock shaking in front of you, even if it may be your illusion for a moment, you must try to take a short slash to avoid that area."

At this time, it was Extreme Realm who continued to go up while speaking.

Although the volcanic environment changes from moment to moment, he tried to work with Ayafara to plan a relatively safe upward path.

Ayafara himself is a professional volcanologist and disaster messenger, and Polar himself is also an excellent disaster messenger and wilderness survival expert, both of whom have extremely rich outdoor exploration experience.

Under the alternating command of the two, the climbing team of Yu Volcano moved up in an orderly manner.
