Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

“According to Mel and the others’ assessment, this abandoned city has been idle for a month or so, and they are probably still gathering manpower. It’s unlikely that they will launch an attack on Lungmen in the short term.” Qin Duanyu glanced at the documents and shook his head, rejecting Amiya’s arrangement. “It’s too much of a fuss. It would just let them know that we know about their existence and force them to act prematurely. So let’s secretly recall these teams. The rest of the action groups can continue with their tasks.”

“Understood.” Amiya nodded, looking at the action teams that Qin Duanyu had specifically marked. “According to the previous agreement, we will send the message to Lungmen later and go to the Guard Bureau to discuss countermeasures. Do you have anything to add?”

"Don't rush, let's set off in an hour." Qin Duanyu thought for a moment and indicated to Amiya that she didn't need to be too nervous.

"Huh, why?"

"With the Reunion Movement right under our noses, that superintendent must be furious. Kids should avoid listening to those strange Lungmen dialects."

They persecuted the virtually invisible Miss Merry, and then began a major battle with the Reunion Movement.

Chapter 36, Section 319: Always passive, but occasionally wanting to take the initiative.

Emergency meeting room, Lungmen Guard Bureau.

Chen sat at the table, her hands supporting her chin, looking at the trembling high-ranking members of the Guard Bureau. Her crimson eyes were filled with rage. Hoshiguma stood behind her, casting sympathetic glances at her colleagues.

"Those whose names I call, stay! Head of Intelligence, Keitel; Head of Field Operations, Jogel; Head of Technology, Kripps!" Chen squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. The brothers who weren't called breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out the door.

By the time the conference room door closed, Chen had finished gathering his strength.

"*Lungmen swear words*, what are you all good for! Do you expect to realize the enemy is at our doorstep only after the Reunion Movement has stormed in and slits our throats?" The angry roar, mixed with the muffled sound of pounding the table, actually came through the thick soundproof walls.

“Sir, the reconnaissance unit suffered heavy losses, and we had no choice but to stop our missions, which you approved…” an officer tried to explain, but quickly shut up under Chen’s gaze.

“What about this week? Ever since the Special Inspectorate organized its team to start the investigation, that hunter group has disappeared. Didn’t I tell you to resume the investigation as soon as possible? A bunch of scum who only get in Lungmen’s way!” Chen slammed his pen on the table. “*Lungmen swear words*, you’ll be having dinner with Liang Feifan tonight!”

Although Chen was only saying it and wouldn't actually send his subordinates to Aki, Hoshiguma still felt a churning in her stomach, as if something was wrong with the lunch she had just eaten, and subconsciously touched her stomach.

Then came a string of strange words like "70,000 wives one by one BIU", "Hey Stalin", "Send ICE sticks". It seems that in addition to the unique swear words of Lungmen, Chen is also proficient in the dialects of other countries. Even though he didn't think Amiya could understand, Qin Duanyu outside the door still covered her ears.

Oh well, looks like I'm too early.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds in the conference room gradually faded away, the door slowly opened, and several capable-looking men walked out with tears in their eyes, looking just like high school girls who had been scolded by their homeroom teacher.

Qin Duanyu patted each of them on the shoulder, then pulled Amiya into the conference room.

It's not that these veteran police officers lack mental fortitude. Qin Duanyu has experienced Chen's sharp tongue in every sense of the word, so he naturally knows how formidable it is. After all, not everyone is like him, able to consistently gain the upper hand in every argument with Chen, especially when they are genuinely in the wrong.

"Doctor, I'm sorry, the meeting took a little longer than expected. We didn't have to wait too long, did we?" Hoshiguma rushed forward as if she had seen a savior, took Qin Duanyu's hand, and whispered, "Old Chen is very upset right now. Only you can calm her down."

Qin Duanyu nodded, sat down next to Chen warmly, and then greeted him kindly: "Oh, you've got wrinkles again after just a few days."

Doctor, I asked you to help me cool down, not to add fuel to the fire! Hoshiguma's eyes widened. With his completely clueless nature, she was a little puzzled as to how the Doctor managed to attract so many girls.

“You… I’m very grateful for the intelligence provided by Rhodes Island. The Guard Bureau just held an emergency meeting to discuss a solution. However, I would like to hear if Rhodes Island, as an expert on the infected issue, has any more reasonable suggestions.” Chen said, blushing and stammering.

After all, they were so busy cursing that they didn't have any solutions to offer, so it's normal for Chen to feel embarrassed. Amiya and Hoshiguma pretended not to see it and then turned their gazes to Qin Duanyu.

"Suggestion? Just attack them! Launch a surprise attack on the ruins of Chernobog. Rhodes Island will also send elite forces to assist." Qin Duanyu tightened his grip on Chen Weiba's hand slightly, then shrugged and said.

"What?!" Chen, who had been trying to suppress the stimulation from his tail, finally couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Fortunately, Hoshiguma and Amiya also exclaimed in similar tones, so no one noticed anything amiss.

"Why are you all so surprised in the Ganges? Especially Amiya, besides Ace, Nearl, and Scout, I specifically requested to call up Squad Blaze. I thought you understood what I meant," Qin Duanyu said calmly, as if it were a matter of course.

“According to the information provided by Rhodes Island, the reconnaissance team has not been exposed, which means that the Reunion Movement is unaware that the Chernobog ruins have been exposed. A surprise attack is indeed a feasible approach!” Hoshiguma nodded, quickly understanding the reasons for doing so.

It's always better to fight on someone else's turf than to make a mess of your own. Besides, no matter how tight the defenses are, they will eventually slip up due to laxity. It's better to take action first and eliminate the potential threats.

“Yes, although I prefer to be passive, I sometimes want to take the initiative. Life is about experiencing different things.” Qin Duanyu stroked the smooth, thick tail. It seemed that this girl had taken good care of it as he had suggested.

“However, this plan involves too much, I need to report to Commander Wei.” Chen Wenyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She stood up, flicked her tail away, and finally regained her composure.

“No need. I just spoke with Lao Wei on the phone. He said he has some important guests to entertain and asked me to tell you that you will be in charge of the Reunion Movement for the time being.” Qin Duanyu waved his phone, revealing the call log.

“Understood. The Guard Bureau will begin preparations for the attack on the Chernobog ruins, while Rhodes Island will provide assistance according to the agreement. Specific details will be discussed later.” Chen took a deep breath and pointed to the location of the Chernobog ruins on the map.

"The attack will begin tomorrow night. Rhodes Island, please prepare."

……

"Doctor, Commander Chen's mood is a bit strange," Amiya said with some doubt.

Ever since Qin Duanyu relayed Wei Yanwu's words, she had sensed Chen's strong emotional fluctuations, which turned out to be unease and guilt.

If the unease stemmed from feeling that the plan was too risky, then Chen's agreement seemed too readily accepted, and how could his guilt be explained? The little rabbit, who hadn't yet been exposed to the dirty politics, suddenly felt her brain was a bit overwhelmed.

She had a vague feeling that even if Qin Duanyu didn't propose an offensive, Lungmen would eventually make a similar request, as if they wanted to use Rhodes Island to achieve some kind of goal.

"Sigh, we're just working people, no need to worry about these details. Just do our jobs honestly." Qin Duanyu showed off some muscles that didn't even exist and said with a smile, "Besides, if Lao Wei dares to let his good brother suffer, my Friendship Face-Breaking Fist isn't for nothing. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I punched his face crooked?"

"Hehe, Doctor is joking again. Beating up the leaders of Lungmen? That's more likely than the Reunion Movement storming our building. Besides, that would be a serious diplomatic incident. We might just be kicked out!" Seeing Qin Duanyu's confident demeanor, Amiya finally suppressed her worries.

Yes, as long as the PhD is there, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Chapter 37, Section 320: The Big Cat and the Little Cat

That evening, Rhodes Island, which seemed no different from usual, had already begun intensive pre-battle preparations. Several elite squads secretly returned to the landship and gathered in Qin Duanyu's office.

"These are the combat missions for tomorrow. The raid will be carried out at night. You will infiltrate the ruins one by one. Do you have any questions?" Qin Duanyu pointed to the large map of the ruins of Chernobog and carefully explained the direction of attack.

"Then who will be responsible for the doctor's safety?" ACE frowned, asking with some concern.

They are still unsure how many cadres are gathered in the ruins, but judging from the Reunion Movement's readiness to launch an attack at any moment, it is absolutely impossible that, like the last battle outside Lungmen, there was only one elite fighter, Shattered Bones.

Having faced almost all of the Reunion Movement's cadres, including its leader Talulah, ACE knew that the enemy's strength should not be underestimated. Qin Duanyu's plan to infiltrate and decapitate with an elite team could not be guaranteed that the enemy would have the same idea.

Whether it's the white-haired Catherine girl who hasn't made contact yet, the Sarkaz giant clad in heavy armor, the combination of Mephisto and Faust, or the elusive Sarkaz mercenary who has repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on SCOUT, all of them will pose a significant threat to the Doctor.

And that assassin who can teleport using the mist... well, she shouldn't pose a big problem, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. What if we underestimate her and she succeeds?

"Don't worry, I'll stay with the front-line assault team. Besides, the main force in this battle is the Lungmen Guard Bureau. As long as they launch their attack, everything will be fine," Qin Duanyu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

"It's precisely because they're cooperating with the Lungmen Guard Bureau that we feel they're unreliable. It seems like they're hiding something," Aodi, a heavy-armored operator in the SCOUT team, muttered quietly.

To become an operator in an elite squad, no matter how honest and kind they may seem, they are definitely not...

“Anyway, this kind of thing is best left to the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit to worry about. With the Doctor’s personality, he won’t suffer losses easily.” SCOUT patted his subordinate on the shoulder and said with a smile, “But are you sure you don’t need to bring some more guards? How about we send Krell to you?”

"Your mission is not easy, and weakening your combat power is unwise. My safety depends on Miss Huang... Wait, where is she?" Qin Duanyu then realized that the big cat had disappeared.

"She said she didn't understand any strategy or tactics anyway, and all she had to do was follow your instructions and hammer people. She then sneaked out to find rosemary," ACE said with a shrug, sounding somewhat helpless.

"Huh? Skipping the combat meeting? Isn't this girl afraid of having her salary docked?" Qin Duanyu was speaking when he remembered that the big cat was Amiya's direct subordinate, and he had no right to directly call her up. Moreover, as an elite operator, her combat power was not something he could teach a lesson in his normal state.

What should he do? He cried and complained to Amiya that the big cat looked down on him.

"Never mind, I'll go check on her condition. There are some things I need to explain." Qin Duanyu sighed, somewhat doubting whether her arrangements were reasonable. "By the way, who is this rosemary you're talking about?"

……

Inside the Rhodes Island elite operator lounge, a plump, black-haired Feline girl was frantically rubbing a small, silver-haired member of her race. The former had a doting smile on her face, as if she had been healed by a small animal, while the latter remained calm and offered no resistance, her expression unchanged even as her hair was disheveled.

"Huang, why did you suddenly come back? The memory terminal shows that you said you would be away for several months." The silver-haired Philin raised his head and asked in a calm tone.

"Of course it's because there's going to be a fight. After all, this battle requires a strong breakthrough, which is exactly what I'm good at. The Doctor even specifically asked me to participate." Huang said with a smile, while rubbing the girl's head even harder.

"And then you, as one of the main forces in this battle, actually missed the meeting. What, are you dissatisfied with the orders I gave you? Well then, I'll tell Amiya to take charge of you, how about that?" Qin Duanyu happened to hear her words and said irritably.

"No, no, no, Doctor, I just wanted to see Rosemary so badly after finally coming back." Huang's expression changed slightly as he lifted the silver-haired Felin under his arms and held her up in front of Qin Duanyu. "Look, wouldn't everyone want to spend more time with such a lovely child?"

"Hmph, you got away with being cute." After staring into those green eyes for a moment, Qin Duanyu decisively reached out and stroked her little head. "Cute little kitty, nice to meet you. Please take care of me."

"Doctor... thank you." Rosemary said inexplicably after letting Qin Duanyu pat her head for a while.

"what?"

“According to the information in the memory terminal, ACE and SCOUT were always carrying something heavy on their shoulders. But since you came to Rhodes Island, they suddenly felt much lighter, as if they had broken free of their shackles…” Rosemary pointed to the display screen of the instrument in her hand and tilted her head as she spoke.

"Maybe it's because my living conditions have improved since I came to the island. I've been eating well and sleeping soundly." Qin Duanyu pinched Rosemary's ear and said with a smile, "Rosemary, you should take good care of yourself too."

"Doctor, don't underestimate Rosemary. Even though she's not listed in the public records, she's a genuine elite operator," Huang said proudly, patting Qin Duanyu on the shoulder.

Senior veteran operator?

Qin Duanyu frowned and thought carefully. She realized that among the accounts with a full collection of characters, there was no operator with such obvious characteristics. Could it be that she has some special ability like Amiya?

Speaking of which, Amiya, whom he regarded as his LV…daughter, was about the same age as Rosemary, but she served as a leader and senior operator at Rhodes Island. If Rhodes Island was a family business, where an adopted daughter with no blood relation could hold a high position, then Rosemary being promoted to an elite operator…

"Could it be that Rosemary is my and Kal'tsit's child?" Qin Duanyu suddenly clenched her fists and palms, and said to Huang with a sudden realization.

"Huh?" Big Cat looked like he had just learned something new, feeling that this guy's thought process was a bit outrageous, and even wondered if letting him command so many of Rhodes Island's elite forces was a wise choice.

However, she quickly looked behind Qin Duanyu and her eyes widened.

"So, what's your reasoning for this?" a cold voice asked.

“The Felin race, silver hair and green eyes, these are obviously from Kal'tsit, and their memory is not very good, which is obviously from me…” Qin Duanyu counted on her fingers, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

The familiar scent of jasmine, Huang's face flushed red from trying to suppress laughter, and the enormous black shadow that enveloped him.

It was at that moment he knew,

He F* up!

Section 321, Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hunter and Prey

The following night, around 11 p.m., outside the ruins of Chernobog.

"Hiss, it's really cold at night. I think it must be related to those guys. Ever since they came here, they've been tinkering with some strange stuff. Now they won't even let us light a fire in the outpost. They're going to freeze people to death."

"Who says otherwise? If you ask me, Lord Mephistopheles is the best. He never bothers with these trivial matters, and we can even follow him to seize the surrounding villages. The only thing is to be careful not to anger him, or we'll be turned into..."

"Shh, talking about Lord Mephisto behind his back? Are you out of your mind? But to be fair, it's better to let those monsters die in a tough battle than to have us go up against them. Anyway, he's recently converted a lot of Ursus scum, so he shouldn't use us to replenish his ranks."

Several members of the Reunion Movement huddled behind a large rock to escape the biting night wind, whispering amongst themselves about how they wanted to warm up in the cold and how nice it would be to have a campfire.

Suddenly, something shone before their eyes, like a red-hot iron bar, followed by a searing, burning sensation in their throats, and the aroma of roasting meat filled the air.

"I have to say, these guys are way too lax. Do they think they're here for a camping trip?" Franka flicked non-existent blood off her sword and said with a sneer.

"Perhaps because the reconnaissance team from Lungmen was hunted down before, they don't think they'll be discovered?" Razer deftly deactivated the makeshift alarm device and turned to look at Meteor. "According to the mission assigned by the Doctor, this is the last outpost we need to deal with."

"The rest of the reconnaissance teams have also completed their operations, and the task of clearing out the outer enemy has been completed." Meteorite reported in a low voice through the headset, pointing to several rhythmically flashing lights not far away.
