Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Before I transmigrated, I was a college graduate. Surely I could solve high school math problems? Wait, what's the equation of a hyperbola again...?

So, half an hour later.

"Mr. Rasputin, still can't figure it out? I'm starting to wonder how you even graduated high school." Big Bear walked over to the oxcart, looked at the scraps of paper at Qin Duanyu's feet, and couldn't help but tease him.

"Come on, if you're so capable, try solving this without looking at the answer key!" Qin Duanyu said irritably to the gloating bear.

So what if you had a great chat with Petrova last night? Why are you being so petty? Do you think I'd steal your girl?

"Let's do it. Let me see what the question is. These things can be solved in a minute..." Big Bear happily sat in the car, then his expression changed and he scratched his head.

"Go for it! Brother Xiong, it'll be done in no time, won't it?" Qin Duanyu said with a smile.

"Shut up, don't disturb my thinking, I'll be out soon!"

As a result, another half hour passed.

"Uncle Sobieski, come and see how to do this problem, it's so hard!" Big Bear wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to a Yeti dressed as a sorcerer.

"Tch, you're just a 213 artsy youth, what are you pretending to be a mathematician for? Let me do it!" The warlock Yeti rolled up his sleeves, gesturing for Big Bear to quickly give way. "Little Yang, you really need to learn these things properly. In the future, when you use Big Sister's Originium to blow up buildings, you'll need to use math. Don't end up like these two good-for-nothing guys."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard and help everyone in the future!" Yang Ge nodded, thinking that finally someone reliable had come along.

But then, half an hour later...

"Gentlemen, I think our thinking went wrong starting from the third step; we probably applied the wrong formula!"

"How could that be? This approach is absolutely the only solution. There must be a mistake somewhere. Let me check it again."

"Do you guys even understand math? The problem is clearly in this middle step!"

Qin Duanyu and the others were so serious, as if they were discussing a battle plan, and the purple book in front of them was clearly a battle map.

"Maybe I should go ask Petrova instead," Yang said weakly, watching the three adult underachievers arguing heatedly.

"Shut up, be quiet!"

The angry shouts from all sides made Yang wisely shut his mouth.

Finally, after the team was settled back in, Petrova, unable to bear the three academically challenged students' incessant bickering any longer, threw the answer key back to them, thus ending this doomed discussion.

"Big sister, that's how it is. I'll tutor Yang Ge from now on. We can't let him be led astray by these academic underachievers!" After hearing Petrova's complaints, Froststar's face couldn't hold back anymore.

This guy, did he not put any points into Intelligence and just put all his points into Charisma?

Section 209, Chapter 31: Was he missing someone important?

"We're here! This is it!"

A few days later, Boris pointed to a mountain range in the distance and spoke loudly to the crowd.

The mountain ranges meander and twist, like a sleeping dragon. Upon closer inspection, a vast lake can be seen at the foot of the mountains. The emerald green waters and towering peaks complement each other beautifully. This pristine natural scenery far surpasses any of the scenic spots Qin Duanyu had visited before her journey.

The beautiful scenery is secondary; there are large tracts of flat land nearby that can be reclaimed as farmland.

Although some time was wasted and the route deviated from the original plan, it was worth the extra time to help these kind and simple elderly people move to a safe place, and the journey wasn't boring either.

On the contrary, traveling with the Yetis is a joyful experience, like taking the Black Steel Comedy Troupe out with you. You can always hear all sorts of funny jokes, and laughter never disappears during the journey.

Of course, Qin Duanyu, who had been forced to cram high school math knowledge by doing math problems with Yang Ge for several days in a row, was not happy at all.

"Uncle Nip, your legs aren't very strong, so let the younger people do this kind of thing!"

"I've been eating your cooking all this way, and I'm exhausted. I'll cut down some trees to burn off some energy so I don't gain weight."

"No need, ma'am. It's more comfortable to sweat. Don't get your towel dirty."

Even though they had already taken the people to their destination, the Yetis did not leave. Instead, they kindly helped the elderly settle in, and in just one afternoon, the village began to take shape.

Now that all the heavy and rough work has been taken care of, even elderly people can easily handle the remaining tasks, such as installing fences and painting walls. It's truly a thoughtful service.

That evening, a huge bonfire was lit in the center of the village. The villagers knew that Qin Duanyu and his group, along with the Yeti team, would be leaving the next day, so they brought out the most sumptuous food to treat everyone.

“Before leaving Saint-Germain Castle, I was discussing with Oleg how to reclaim Chernobog after the Sami Kingdom issue was resolved. I never expected it to turn out like this…” Vika’s gaze was somewhat complicated as she looked at the noisy yet warm scene before her.

After Chernobog fell, only a portion of the refugees fled to Lungmen. The rest went to various mobile cities within Ursus, where they exposed the terrible scenes that had unfolded in the city that day. Coupled with the media's deliberate embellishment, discontent with the infected in the country reached its peak.

At first, they encountered Mephistopheles' men, who were exactly the same as those Vika had seen in newspapers, on television, and in intelligence reports—a group of thugs who committed arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.

But the Yetis' behavior completely overturned her understanding.

What kind of unfair treatment did these lovely and gentle people suffer to be forced to take up arms and fight back? And will the Ursus army, once they are freed up, truly show no mercy in annihilating them...?

“At least we’re not enemies now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?” Qin Duanyu shrugged and said helplessly, “If Ursus doesn’t change, the Yeti Squad, no, the Reunion Movement, will only grow in number.”

Even though the Great White Bear is the daughter of the Speaker and is destined to inherit his connections and resources, most of Ursus's power is still concentrated in the hands of that ruthless emperor. If his mindset does not change, everything will be in vain.

Therefore, even with a capable minister like Speaker Vitt assisting him, Ursus can only barely maintain its former glory. Uprisings in various places will only become more and more frequent. In time, it is likely that not only the infected, but also ordinary people who are oppressed and cannot survive will join the ranks of the uprising.

It was only a matter of time before this vast empire collapsed.

“Change Ursus?” Vika murmured, her eyes gradually hardening.

……

Even late into the night, the village was still noisy.

Yang actually stole Big Bear's notebook and read out those poems that could be considered his embarrassing history. As a result, not only did Big Bear grab a thick wooden stick, but Petrova, who was caught in the crossfire, also grabbed a kitchen knife and chased after him.

This brat perfectly embodies the saying "life goes on and on, and so does his recklessness."

Aside from the bustling crowd, Froststar, sitting alone in front of another small campfire, appeared exceptionally lonely.

The kind-hearted girl was afraid that the low temperature, which she couldn't control, would harm the elderly, so she kept a considerable distance from them throughout, engrossed in reading some documents, only occasionally looking up at them with an envious gaze.

"Miss Froststar, I really washed it clean this time. Would you like to try some? It tastes quite sweet." A clean carrot was held out in front of her, blocking the blueprints that Froststar was studying.

She looked up in confusion and saw the noble family's foolish son, whose entire stat was charm.

"Thank you." This time, perhaps considering that they were about to part ways, Frostnova did not refuse. Instead, she put on a thick pair of gloves, took the carrot, and began to nibble on it.

Yes, it is indeed as he said, sweet.

"I knew it! What little rabbit doesn't like carrots?" Qin Duanyu looked at the blueprints and said with some surprise, "Eh, Ursus military breathing aid?"

"You recognize this?" Frostnova frowned, speaking with some uncertainty.

After all, this guy chose good looks over good brains when he was reincarnated. He can't even do the simplest high school math problems, so it's hard to believe that he would recognize this kind of old Ursus military equipment.

"Didn't I tell you that my family used to make these things?" Qin Duanyu chuckled and made up a story on the spot.

He certainly didn't know, but for some reason, Xuezhi had conducted in-depth research on this old-fashioned equipment, including complete blueprints and data on the modification and renovation process, which were stored on a USB drive in his backpack.

"So do you know how to repair this device?" Froststar asked tentatively, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.

The old stubborn man's vocal cords were altered due to an infection, causing him to speak intermittently and frequently experience difficulty breathing, which severely hampered his combat effectiveness.

What's more troublesome is that the armor he wore when he defected from the army was only compatible with that old-style respirator, and it was impossible to replace it with a new one.

Even though she often quarreled with her stubborn father because she was going through a rebellious phase, she was still worried about her father's health. So she collected some discarded junk and wanted to try to piece together a barely usable set.

"The complete set of improvement methods is inside. Consider it payment for escorting me," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, placing the USB drive in front of Shuangxing.

He originally brought this information with him to fulfill Xuezhi's wish: to build a good relationship with Vika and then hand over the technology to her, using her influence to promote it within Ursus to help more people.

Now that it's in Frostnova's hands, it's a way of helping someone else, and I can always make another copy for Vika later.

"Thank you, this concerns someone very important to me." The girl took the USB drive, hesitated slightly, and then said to Qin Duanyu in a serious tone, "Longmen hasn't been very peaceful lately. If possible, don't stay there for too long."

“Important people…Longmen…That makes sense. It won’t take more than a few days to reach Longmen from here,” Qin Duanyu murmured, looking up at the moon.

Is he missing someone important? Seeing Qin Duanyu suddenly become deep in thought, Shuangxing didn't disturb him, assuming he was mourning his family who couldn't escape Ursus's pursuit.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! If I calculate the time, Lappland and the others should have already returned to Rhodes Island, but I haven't figured out what to do next. If I run into them, I'm doomed.

In a daze, he saw the moon transform into the face of a dog, its smile particularly sinister.

The father-in-law ordered his men to chase and beat up his future son-in-law. The future son-in-law repaid evil with kindness and helped his father-in-law improve his equipment, which may lead to an even more violent beating from his father-in-law after the equipment is upgraded.

Section 210, Chapter 32: Reward? It's already been given.

The next morning, the Yeti team had vanished without a trace. If it weren't for the still-unmelted frost and snow nearby, there would be no indication that they had ever stayed there.

Fortunately, it wasn't heading towards the Dragon Gate.

Qin Duanyu glanced at the direction the Yetis were heading and breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least for the time being, she wouldn't have to meet these people on the battlefield.

Friends are friends, and a steel knife is a steel knife.

It's easy to say, but how many people can actually do it?

But despite his feelings, he had to return to Lungmen eventually. Frostnova and the Yetis had goals to strive for, and so did he. There were too many people on Rhodes Island waiting for him.

"Uncle Nip, thank you so much for taking care of us these past few days." He bowed to the villagers. Without the help of these kind people, it would be questionable whether they could have returned to Lungmen.

"Young man, you should exercise more and learn a few skills in the future. Big cities are not like our small places. If you're not quick and efficient, you might not even be able to eat!" Old Nip patted Qin Duanyu on the shoulder and earnestly advised him, while stuffing a small bag into Qin Duanyu's arms.

"This is……"

"Seeing that you like sweets, I baked some cookies for you with the last bit of honey. You can eat them as snacks on your journey." The old woman smiled kindly, as if she were looking at a younger generation who was about to embark on a long journey.

"Thank you!" Qin Duanyu said, her throat feeling a little uncomfortable.

If there's a chance, let's send some modern machinery to the village, like tractors or harvesters, and find someone to teach them how to use them. Anyway, with Boris around, he should be able to take good care of them.

Stepping out of the house, the foul-mouthed but kind-hearted former Reunion Avenger was already waiting at the door with a bow and arrows on his back. He made an excuse that he was afraid Qin Duanyu might get lost because she was directionally challenged, and since he was going out hunting anyway, he could give them a ride.

“The journey is very safe. There are no large wild beasts and no signs of any natural disasters. At your speed, you will reach Lungmen in just four or five days…” Boris said, pointing to the map. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and swayed as if he was about to fall.

"Are you OK?"

"It's a minor issue, it's nothing... RUA!"

Boris was about to straighten up when he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with some Originium crystals onto the ground, and then his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

Is this... a relapse of Oripathy? Several people quickly carried him to the bed.

“Although there aren’t many Originium crystals on his skin, the lesion is located near his heart, and it’s probably progressed to a point where it’s difficult to control.” Nearl examined him briefly and said in a grave tone, “We must return to the landship and use specialized equipment to get an accurate diagnosis and provide a treatment plan.”

“Treatment… Oripathy?” Old Neptune frowned.
