My Arknights Life Diary

"By the way, Miss Nancy, we still don't know why you are interested in volcano information. Are you a scholar interested in volcanoes like us?"

Magna asked as she followed Nancy through the intricate lava tunnel.

“I am not a scholar interested in volcanoes. I accepted a mission to investigate this volcano, although compared to the information I collected by myself.

The data you collect through these devices may have some large deviations, but your data has certain reference value. "

What Nancy said is indeed true. Compared with what Nancy used, the equipment used by this scholar couple can't be said to be computers and stone tools.

That can also be said to be coal for boiling water and subspace pumps.

It is normal that the collected data has a deviation of 0.000 or so.

"I see. But think about it. Miss Nancy, I want to ask a presumptuous question. That is, your mission should have been accepted through formal channels, right?

Well, in other words, was this mission assigned to you personally, or was it authorized by Xiosta officials and entrusted to you?"

"No, according to you, I should be a private delegation."

Nancy didn't say much.

"............Well, by the way, Nancy, you should also be a scholar, right?"

Katia noticed that the atmosphere had entered a strange silence, paused, and changed the subject.

"Ah."

Nancy nodded. Her current public identity was a recent graduate from a university in Columbia.

Now, she is still connected with some academic circles in the university. In a sense, she is a scholar, and there is nothing wrong with that.

By the way, if someone really wants to check Nancy's identity, he can indeed find Nancy in the official records of Colombia.

"I see, Miss Nancy. Although you are not a volcanologist, you should know a lot about volcanoes. Otherwise, your employer would not have chosen you to collect data in this volcano."

“This is actually my first time at a volcano.”

"Well, Miss Nancy, what do you think of volcanoes? What do you think of these majestic creatures?"

"Volcanoes bring magma from deep underground to the surface, which contains abundant geothermal energy. If one day the people of this civilization can utilize this energy...

Forget it, I guess that day will never come. Originium energy is far ahead of this thing."

For some reason, Katia and Magna felt that Nancy's words were a little strange, but they didn't take it to heart.

...............

Magna and Katia followed Nancy as they walked and stopped in the underground lava cave. During this time, they both said that they didn't need to rest yet, but Nancy ignored them.

She has her own rhythm, sometimes walking slowly, sometimes walking quickly, sometimes jogging, and sometimes squatting in one place for a minute or two.

It all felt like she was calculating something, trying to catch up with something at just the right time.

Katia and Magna also felt this way.

"Huh? Why did you stop again? What's the reason this time?"

"No need to go, just stop here for a while."

Nancy said this, turning around and looking towards where they came from.

About two minutes later, the sounds of some crustaceans moving began to faintly appear in the ears of Nancy and others.

"Ms. Nancy, I'm familiar with that voice. It's the Volcano Origin Stoneworm. We should move quickly. We can't stay in this place."

"If you want to move on your own now, it's too late. There are many small cracks in this cave that lead to all directions.

These small cracks and passages are difficult for humans to pass through, but they are just right for these Originium worms, and there are already quite a few Originium worms around us."

Nancy said this and glanced at her watch, as if calculating some time.

"So, the previous pauses were all to wait for these Originium bugs?"

Magna was surprised. She didn't expect that Nancy was courting death by deliberately slowing down her pace and waiting for the Originium swarm to approach...

It can only be said that Magna and Katia don’t understand Nancy now. If it were Tu Fang, he would definitely say that all this must be part of Nancy’s plan.

"That's right, we just need to wait here for a while, and everything will be resolved in a while."

Magna and Katia did not comment on Nancy's words, but they had no better solution at the moment.

As scholars who study volcanoes, they naturally have some understanding of these volcanic Originium worms. What Nancy just said about Originium worms is indeed true.

Those Originium Worms are probably stuck everywhere, and it is really too late for them to move now.

"coming."

Nancy suddenly said to herself.

"A special Originium bug."

The two listened to Nancy's words with some confusion, but after a few minutes, they also heard the sound of the huge object moving closer and closer.

"Miss Nancy, is this still part of your plan?"

"Here I am."

"Uh... okay."

After a few minutes, the rumbling sound of a large object moving was getting closer and closer, and Katia and Magna couldn't help but start to panic.

Although they wanted to escape, they knew at this moment that it was useless because the volcanic source stone worms had already spread throughout the tunnels around them.

For now, they can only hope for Nancy's plan.

"coming."

Nancy suddenly said this, and then his eyes immediately moved to a tunnel entrance. As his words fell, a rumbling small volcano revealed its shape for the first time in front of everyone.

"Is this evolution or mutation? It should be mutation. This is the first time I have seen such a large volcanic source stone worm..."

Katia swallowed his saliva. Although he was afraid at this moment, he also felt a little interested in the large Originium worm in front of him that had changed due to the volcanic environment.

Although he was not a biological researcher, he also knew some biological knowledge. Coupled with the volcano, the Originium worm in front of him successfully aroused his interest in exploration.

However, he quickly got rid of his "I want to take a look" state, after all, they did not have the ability to subdue this small volcano.

“3…2…1…just right.”

Nancy kept repeating this to herself, and when she finished counting down, she saw something flying over the cave.

The thing hit the fire-breathing monster directly. After everyone reacted, they looked towards the monster and found that there were huge cracks on the monster's shell.

On the other side, the shell that hit the monster, the turtle, retracted into its shell and rolled back.

The move just now was a joint attack skill performed by her and Xiao Ke, using Xiao Ke as the launcher and Guigui as the cannonball, and the main attack was a powerful flying brick.

By the way, when they first showed this trick to Tu Fang, Tu Fang made the following comment:

I am the turtle of the century!

Although Guigui and Xiaoke didn't know what this comment meant, they felt that it was meant to describe how powerful they were.

In a sense, this is true.

"Sister Nancy!"

"this is for you!"

After Turtle took the lead, Xiao Ke rushed forward directly and greeted Nancy during the attack.

When Xiao Ke passed by her, Nancy took the opportunity to throw a telescopic gun that she had just taken out of her pocket to her.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Ke caught the spear. Although it was the first time she saw this thing and she didn't know what it was used for, she just felt that it was a telescopic spear.

So, she grasped the upper and lower ends of the iron rod and twisted it. Whoosh, a spear about two meters long appeared in her hand.

Xiao Ke jumped onto the big monster with the spear in his hand. At this time, the big monster was stunned because he was hit by the turtle.

Now it hasn't reacted to what happened. Of course, even if it did react, it would be useless.

Xiao Ke held the gun and stood on it. The monster's body temperature was hundreds of degrees, but Xiao Ke could still endure it for a while.

She first raised the spear and thrust it fiercely into the gap in the shell of the fire-breathing monster that had just been smashed by the turtle, and then she twisted and lifted it violently.

Most of the monster's shell was blown off.

"Gulu-boom-boom-gulu-gulu!"

Some high-temperature fluid on the giant monster's body made gurgling sounds. The sounds were somewhat miserable and I didn't know if they were screams.

Xiao Ke didn't plan to waste any more time at this time. After all, after the shell was opened, the temperature of this big monster had made her unbearable.

She thrust the spear into the monster's body and stirred it, and then the Originium technique was activated.

"Very cold gun!"

As Xiao Ke said this, a chill burst out from her body. Finally, this chill, with the spear as the carrier, was fiercely injected into the body of the giant monster.

Gaba gaba gaba

The sound of freezing suddenly appeared in the cave.

Not long after, the fire-breathing monster disappeared, and an ice sculpture of a giant monster suddenly appeared inside the lava volcano.
