Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

"Ha, Rankopel, your source of happiness is sometimes very simple, but it's not a bad thing, to be honest, it's hard for me to open up and be happy again.

Warfarin looked at Rankopel lying on the ground, the wind whistling through her hair, her tone calm but with a hint of hidden envy.

"It's okay, Warfarin, I just don't think it's necessary to put so much pressure on yourself a lot of the time, and sometimes even laughing for no reason is good for your health.

"I've never been in favor of a sad face, and that expression doesn't solve anything." Rankopel

half-sat up from the ground and said to Warfarin.

“...... Oh, yes.

Warfarin said approvingly, raising her arm gently into the air, and her sleeves were swayed by the gentle wind blowing here, which was much stronger than on deck.

"As I promised, Rankopel.

"Want to hear me tell you a blood demon story?"

Lancoper looked at Warfarin, knowing that she actually had something to say to herself, and the story was only one aspect, so she replied without hesitation:

"Of course, this is the winner's prize, and I naturally want to accept it." When

Warfarin heard this, she gently stroked the ends of her hair on the side of her ear and sat on the ground next to Rankopel, and the two of them were blowing the wind at the top of the watchtower, staring ahead.

"The story takes place in the post-war ruins of Chernoberg.

Warfarin's tone began to become low, and as she narrated, an old scene began to slowly unfold

: ————————————————

[Chernoberg, post-war ruins]

10:32:

44pm Weather/light rain

popping....

A child of Riboli, drenched in rain, like a small fallen beast, carefully searching for his lost companion in the ruins:

"[Usas foul language], the road is becoming less and less like the road, the group of masked madmen, suddenly nothing is different... It's so cold, it's wet and sticky..."

"Damn, I just went looking for water to drink... Yuri's guy was slashed on the back by a masked man with such a long opening... Where can a person go?" "

Yuri... Yuri...... Are you here?"

he called his companion's name cautiously.

However, there was only the smell of blood and smoke in the air, and if it weren't for the dinner he had just eaten from the ruins, he would have vomited directly.

And the Riboli child carefully sneaked around along the way, for fear of bumping into the thugs of the integration movement who killed people when they saw them.

Although he is also an ore disease infected, his awakening spell is only to make his body slightly lighter, and there is nothing else.

At most, he could only run faster, jump higher, and be more agile - but still a slightly more accurate crossbow arrow was enough to kill him.

"Yuri... Yuri...... Can you hear me..."Every

few steps, the child of Liberty would wipe a handful of rainwater that covered his vision, and if it were not for Riboli's excellent vision, he would not be able to see the road clearly in the night of this rainy day.

Just then, he suddenly heard a cry on the other side of the wall at hand—the sound was so faint that it could easily melt with the sound of rain if he didn't listen carefully.

No, all the living creatures on this street that can run long on long legs have long run out, and we are left.

The Riboli child immediately clings to the roots of the wall and listens carefully:

"It seems that the source is five or six meters ahead."

He immediately continued cautiously, and after passing a corner, he saw on the wall a sign in Usasian that had been crooked and distorted

: [оходныйряд]

The child of Liboli carefully pronounced:

"Hunter Merchant House? Yes, the only department store in the vicinity, but the contents have long been taken away, and this location should be the old warehouse of the mall. "

Damn, Yuri wouldn't come here alone, would he?"

the child Riboli leaned close to the crack in the wall, like a twisted puppet in the moonlit night.

"[Usas foul language] ... It's too dark to see anything, so I guess I still have to find a way to climb in. He

pulled out about half a minute later and cursed with some disappointment.

"Woooo

"Yuri... Yuri, are you inside?"

he immediately asked aloud.

"Anton... Is it Anton?" came

the voice of a trembling child from inside the wall.

"Yes, I'll come to rescue you right away, don't be afraid.

The young man named Anton replied immediately.

"Save me... Help me..." The

voice was really frightened, and his tone couldn't stop talking.

"Hold on, I'm almost there.

Anton rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb over the wall, while continuing to say to Yuri on the other end

: "But what happened just now, why did you run so far alone without a sound?"

Yuri's voice was mixed with some kind of strange rustle:

"There is...

Monsters brought me here. "

This is because Anton is very brave and does not feel numb - the female classmates at school say that there is something strange in this old warehouse.

Tick tock....

Maybe it was just his own illusion, but Anton only felt that the rain falling in the sky was more viscous, and there was also a hint of fishy smell.

"Fake, must be fake.

As if to embolden himself, Anton secretly recited a few words, but thought with

some self-doubt: "But haven't you encountered enough strange things these days?"

Call...... Anton...... You can't be afraid, you still have to rescue Yuri inside."

In the end, Anton still made up his mind, used his source stone technique to make his body lighter, and prepared to start climbing over the wall that had been widely damaged.

"Hiss... It really hurts... Anton...... You have to be patient... Yuri is sure that it hurts a lot more than you at this time. "

Infected people who directly use the ore in the body to perform the operation often feel severe pain, although Anton is very strong, gritting his teeth and persisting, but at first he also gasped.

"Yuri, what do you mean the monster looks like?"

said Anton to Yuri on the other end as he climbed up.

"I... I didn't see it clearly, I was so scared, it seemed to have dark claws... And blood-red eyes, those sharp fangs shining with cold light like sharp daggers.

"It stared at me, and I couldn't hold on for just a few seconds, and I didn't know anything at once.

Anton's hand climbing the wall shook and said,

"Black paws... Red eyes... Sharp fangs... Isn't this a ghost story told by Lena at school?"

Yuri's voice on the other side was also very frightened:

"Well, Lena said, if a child does not sleep at night, monsters will crawl to your bedside."

"It keeps staring at you, and if your eyes are also open, and your red eyes are met, your soul will be sucked away in an instant."

"You'll become a marionette, climb out of bed with him, walk out of the house, go down the street, and finally follow him to its dark, dark, lair."

"Where, it will hang you up, just like the meat sausages we usually dry at home, hanging under the eaves..."

"When it is hungry, it will come back and suck a mouthful of blood, bite by mouthful, knowing that by sucking the blood in your body dry, in the end your whole person will be as dry as dried fish."

"Whew... Anton, am I...

At this time, Anton was about to climb to the top of the wall, isn't Anton afraid? He was also afraid, and his body began to tremble, but he still gritted his teeth and said to Yuri:

"Don't scare yourself, this is all made up by adults to deceive, they just want us to go to bed early, yes, it must be so."

But Yuri's next words inside made Anton's face change suddenly:

"But, Anton, I'm really hanging now, and something is holding me... In very high places.

"Whew... Anton, I don't want to be eaten..." Anton

really had the instinct to turn around and run away at this moment, but he still forced it down, and forcefully climbed over the wall to the inside of the warehouse.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming for you, Yuri, in that weird... I'll be able to carry you back before whatever comes back."

Anton had just landed, and as he spoke, he began to look for the source of Yuri's voice, the warehouse was darker than outside, and even Riboli's vision was difficult to capture an effective picture.

"Well... No, not good! Anton... Don't come here!" Through

Yuri's voice this time, Anton suddenly noticed that in the corner of the other end of the warehouse, under the cloudy moonlight spilled in the crack in the roof, a figure was moving.

"I already see you, Yuri!" Anton

didn't care about three seven twenty-one, spread his legs and began to run in that direction, only to get close to Yuri, when a seeping coolness suddenly came from his right arm.

"Got you. In

the darkness came an eerie female voice that kept echoing.

"Hmm, ahh

They have blood-red eyes

] [Just stare at you, your soul will be drained first]

But I don't know where the strength came from, Anton actually flicked his hand and broke free from the "monster" holding his claws, and then rushed to Yuri, and said to the darkness in front of him:

"Don't come, you are not allowed to come, I... I won't allow you to hurt Yuri!" came

the cold voice of the "monster" in the darkness in front of

him: "Oh? hurt him? Little friend? What do you think I want to do?"

Anton replied without thinking:

"You fucking blood-sucking monster!"

Out of the darkness, into the cloudy moonlight.

Long pale hair, scarlet eyes, surrounded by pungent bloody breath.

“...... Vampire monster?" she

muttered to herself with some nostalgia,

"But it's been a long time... I've never been called that. "
