Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Qin Duanyu's words eased the previously heavy atmosphere considerably, and the officers' eyes regained their sparkle.

"Get to work, finish the remaining cleanup, and then stand tall and greet the cheers of the citizens. You deserve it!" He patted Ferdinand on the shoulder and walked toward the Rhodes Island team.

"Doctor, thank you for helping to calm the team down." After handing over his duties to Amiya and learning a little about Rhodes Island and the Yeti, Chen Gang asked with a hint of concern, "But are you alright?"

"Me? I'm actually fine!" Qin Duanyu sniffed, her voice trembling slightly. "It's just that those snow monsters can lower the temperature, and I think I've caught a bit of a cold from the cold. I'll need to put on an extra layer later."

Chen was still a little worried, thinking that Qin Duanyu was just putting on a brave face and trying to say something to cheer him up.

By the way, speaking of adding clothes... Chen looked at that slightly desolate figure and gritted his teeth, saying, "Come to my house after everything is over, and remember to bring that sweater."

"Huh? Could you repeat that? I might be hallucinating!"

"It's nothing, I still have a lot of work to do. You keep up the good work, Doctor!"

……

Not long after the red-faced Dragon Policeman left, Kal'tsit was seen leaning against a broken wall with her arms crossed.

"Were you waiting for me on purpose?" Qin Duanyu stopped and asked, feigning ignorance.

"You're overthinking it. I just finished taking care of some things and happened to be passing by." The lynx shook its head insincerely, saying what it thought was a good reason, "Your relationship is a bit volatile, so I came to check on you."

“I think Amiya and the others are the ones who need psychological counseling more,” Qin Duanyu said, waving her hand and pointing to the silent Amiya and the others.

“But I’m more worried about your condition…whether it will affect your command later!” the lynx blurted out, then seemed to realize that something was wrong with his words, and then added seriously.

"Honestly, I'm actually fine! You should pay more attention to Amiya; she's the one who's suffering the most," Qin Duanyu said, shaking her head helplessly.

Who knows, the little rabbit might kick him to death if it finds out the truth!

“Amiya is more mature than you think. In terms of calming down the operators and boosting morale, her abilities are even superior to yours,” Kal'tsit said with absolute certainty, having misunderstood her intentions. It was like a wife trying to take her husband to the movies and telling him that the children are old enough to sleep on their own.

"Hiss... I'm a little unsure how to explain this, but there's really no need to worry about me. I'll be able to command the battle without any problems." Qin Duanyu gave a wry smile, but there were some things that couldn't be explained, at least not to others right now.

"Just like before, but it's precisely this state that makes people uneasy." Kal'tsit frowned, her tone gradually becoming serious.

Back in Kazdel, this fool insisted on keeping everything bottled up inside, saying it was okay but suffering more than anyone else. As his comrades sacrificed themselves, he eventually became completely numb, turning into a war machine devoid of emotion and driven purely by reason...

The lynx didn't want Qin Duanyu to become like that again. Even if it was just a sign, it had to be nipped in the bud. So after hearing Amiya's report, she rushed over without even returning to the landship to take stock of the losses.

The all-knowing Kal'tsit is proficient in dozens of disciplines and can be called a master in each of them. Psychology is naturally no problem for her. Even though she has a somewhat aloof personality, she can still comfort operators with serious psychological problems without any difficulty.

But she struggled with how to comfort her beloved.

All those psychology jargons he had spent so much time memorizing vanished the moment he met Qin Duanyu.

Seriously, I'm not suited for dating.

The lynx sighed, then suddenly reached out and removed Qin Duanyu's mask. Looking at that rather ordinary face, it kissed her deeply.

That way, he won't turn into that damned thing, right?

……

"Dr. Kal'tsit, aren't there a lot of new security guards you mentioned? Mr. ACE and his team brought quite a large group!" A moment later, not long after Qin Duanyu led the operators into the secret passage, Blackhorn sent a communication.

what? !

The lynx seemed to realize the problem, asked a few questions, and its expression turned somewhat grim.

"Qin Duanyu, you liar!"

That's all for today. The white rabbit should arrive on the island tomorrow.

Chapter 74, Section 359: With just a few words, Froststar surrendered without a fight.

The basic support layer of the Longmen mobile city, near the temporary passage opened by the integration movement.

“Doctor… whatever Dr. Kal'tsit said or did, I want you to know that she was trying to care about you in her own way…” Amiya tried to think of her words carefully so as not to provoke Qin Duanyu’s emotional reaction. “Um, can you tell me what exactly happened?”

In her view, Qin Duanyu had just witnessed the destruction of the Yeti, so he must be feeling very heavy-hearted. Afterwards, Dr. Kal'tsit found him, and after the two were alone for a while, Qin Duanyu suddenly ordered the operators to go to the support layer to search for Reunion Movement members who "may be lurking there".

They looked so anxious, as if they would be killed if they were even a step too slow.

This is so abnormal!

Amiya knew the Doctor's personality all too well. If she didn't whisper in his ear every day and frequently check on his work progress, he could slack off all day long, not to mention tasks like searching for support layer channels, which were obviously just going through the motions.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that the Reunion Movement has completely failed. Instead of taking advantage of the Guard Bureau's busy cleanup and lack of attention to escape, are they still fantasizing about a comeback? Even a bronze-level player wouldn't have such a crazy idea.

The Doctor, who would rather lie down than sit and sit than stand, would urge everyone to get into the mission. On one hand, he might be affected by the complete annihilation of the Yetis and want to distract himself by working. On the other hand, it is very likely that Dr. Kal'tsit said something extreme that provoked him.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, how could you be so foolish? How could you possibly wake the Doctor up at a time like this!" Amiya shook her head, looking as anxious as a child who had guessed that her parents were arguing but didn't know how to improve their relationship.

"Hey, you're still young, it's not appropriate for you to know about adult matters." Qin Duanyu knew how much Kal'tsit cared about him; her persistent and entangled manner just now almost made him swallow his tongue... But looking at the little rabbit's innocent and concerned eyes, some details were better left unsaid.

Not only has he corrupted the children, but if Platinum and Blue Poison, who live nearby, heard this, he would probably be the one with swollen lips today.

Although she couldn't fully understand Qin Duanyu's thoughts, Amiya still sensed his most superficial emotions: avoidance, embarrassment, and unease. Just as she was about to ask him more probing questions, a chilling sensation that penetrated to the bone struck her.

"This power... is Frostnova?!" The little rabbit stared in astonishment, then quickly ordered the formation to shrink.

Before Rhodes Island could even collect the bodies, Qin Duanyu dragged them to the ground floor. She thought Frostnova had also died from the Black Cloak's attack. After carefully checking for a while, she finally confirmed that the white rabbit was indeed the one in front of her.

"I've been meaning to say this: the Yeti's commander isn't in the rearguard, so she was probably taken away by the retreating troops," Qin Duanyu said, shrinking her neck and looking in the direction the cold air was coming from.

"So you're afraid she'll find out all her men have been killed..." Amiya quickly figured it all out and thought she knew the truth.

Just by looking at how the Yetis cooperated with Rhodes Island to save Frostnova and even called her "Big Sister," you can tell that their relationship is far more than just that of a boss and subordinate; it's more like that of a family that depends on each other for survival.

If he had known they had all died in Lungmen, he would never have returned to Chernobog alone. Instead, he would have resolutely returned to Lungmen to be with his family in an even more tragic way.

Therefore, the Doctor led them to the secret passage to prevent Frostnova from encountering the Lungmen Guard and to avoid the situation escalating into the most tragic scenario. Amiya looked enlightened, but then her eyes sharpened, and her little brain worked at lightning speed.

No, his emotions go far beyond that; there's an even bigger secret lurking within!

"Doctor, if you really got scolded by Dr. Kal'tsit, I will definitely talk to her about it after Frostnova's problem is resolved!"

"I... never mind, whatever makes you happy!"

……

"No, this temperature is much lower than when we fought in the ruins." The closer we got to Frostnova's location, the stronger the cold current became. The chilling power was almost like a knife, piercing through the protective suits worn by the operators. Even Blaze, who had the highest body temperature, was finding it hard to withstand, let alone the operator herself.

"Oh no, it seems we misjudged... The Yeti's existence isn't about using Froststone to expand her spell range and enhance her power; she's already strong enough on her own..." Amiya exhaled a puff of white breath and said with a solemn expression.

She could clearly sense the terrifying energy brewing within the white rabbit opposite her.

While the Yeti Squad is certainly formidable in combat, judging from Frostnova's current display of strength, they are unlikely to be able to help her in the battle and may even be limiting her ability to unleash her full power.

“You guessed right, little bunny. As long as my brothers and sisters are still with me, I won’t use my full strength, because that would hurt them. But now it’s different, they’re all dead…” Frostnova looked at Amiya and said coldly.

“But we have no reason to continue fighting. Whether it’s killing others or being killed… I don’t want this to happen among the Infected. There has been enough killing today!” Huang tried to persuade Frostnova. “Besides, if you keep pushing your power like this, you will die!”

"I am the winter!" Hearing Huang's sincere words, Froststar seemed somewhat moved, but when she thought of those snow monsters, her face darkened again, and she murmured a sentence in a low voice as if singing.

The temperature dropped again, and even the temperature measuring instruments became useless. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this is the most terrifying winter in Ursus.

"All squads, withdraw!" Qin Duanyu suddenly issued the order.

"What!?"

“The Doctor is right. In battles of this level, one or two squads have no advantage over two or three individuals. Everyone lacks effective defenses; being killed is instantaneous!” Amiya nodded, echoing, “Hoshiguma, you and I stay, along with a few casters and snipers…”

"I mean you all, you should also withdraw from the combat zone!" Qin Duanyu shook his head and said firmly.

"Doctor, what are you talking about?" Amiya looked at him in confusion.

"I only need to say a few words to make Froststar surrender without a fight!" Qin Duanyu said, and then quickly ran towards Froststar.

Amiya tried to use magic to stop him, but Qin Duanyu was too fast. Even in the extreme cold, she moved with incredible speed and escaped Amiya's spell range in just a few seconds.

Oh no, the Doctor has been driven mad by Dr. Kal'tsit and is actually trying to kill himself! Amiya was filled with despair, gritted her teeth, and gestured for Blaze to go after them with her.

Doctor, come back! Don't do anything rash. I'll never pressure you to go back to work again!

……

"Hmm?" Frostnova, who was on high alert, noticed something moving not far away and raised her hand to slash at it with an ice blade.

"Froststar, don't shoot, it's me!" Qin Duanyu scrambled to avoid the attack, then raised her hands in a standard French military salute, signaling her not to launch an attack.

"It's you? Leave here, you are not a warrior!" Froststar's pupils shrank slightly, but she still said coldly, trying to scare Qin Duanyu away.

"Let's go right away, let's go right away. Um, I just wanted to ask if you've finished the milk candy I gave you. I haven't had any more on hand. Could you please give me one back?" Qin Duanyu showed no intention of leaving and asked very seriously.

Are you crazy?! Running up to the enemy's officers just for a piece of candy? Frostnova didn't know what expression to make for a moment, but thinking about what this guy did in the rabbit hole, it seemed that this kind of thing was quite in line with his character.

"No, I've finished eating! You can leave now!" Seeing that this guy was determined to get what he wanted, Frostnova suppressed the urge to facepalm and tried to shoo him away again.

"In that case, I'm relieved." Qin Duanyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Judging by the time, it should be fully effective by now!"

"What!?" Froststar frowned, about to ask him what he was up to, when a weakness many times stronger than before struck her, making it impossible for her to even maintain her spells, and she collapsed softly to the ground.

She was greeted not by the cold ground, but by a warm embrace.

“This is it!” the guy holding her said in a sly tone.

Looks like one of the people who posted the cryptic message guessed right, Xiao Qin did drug him! 2333333

Chapter 75, Section 360: It's Medicine; I Put Medicine in the Sugar

Owl Potion.

After the Flame Demon incident, Saria was forbidden by Himer to have any contact with Ifrit. This girl, who was straight to the end and harder than diamond, actually gave up all efforts to repair the relationship and vowed to atone for her actions. She would only appear in front of Ifrit with dignity after receiving Himer's forgiveness.

Saria's so-called atonement is this special drug developed specifically for those severely infected with Oripathy, but the research fields involved in this drug go far beyond her expertise in life sciences and microbiology.

So, this straight-laced, diamond-hard girl actually decided to rely on the spirit of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains to learn those subjects she wasn't good at from scratch. But after all, not everyone is like Kal'tsit, and the research and development progress can be described as quite slow.

Poor little fire dragon, if it weren't for Qin Duanyu pushing him in Siesta, he would probably still be a child from a single-parent family who lacks love.

After reconciling and easing tensions, the progress of drug development was not stalled due to Ifrit's health condition. On the contrary, with the addition of Himer, who was proficient in clinical medicine and pathology, there was a breakthrough with leaps and bounds, and the first generation product was finally produced.

However, because the first clinical trial subject was Himer herself, whose race had a certain degree of drowsiness, the side effects of the drug, such as fatigue and drowsiness, were masked until Ifrit, Boris and others experienced symptoms after taking it, which then attracted the attention of Saria and Himer.

However, compared to the therapeutic effect of the drug, this side effect is negligible. Moreover, as the number of times it is taken increases, the impact of the side effect will gradually decrease until it can no longer produce any negative effects. Therefore, the first generation of Owl Potion began to be used on operators on a large scale.

"...However, this medicine is extremely bitter, and those kids really hate it, so I thought of disguising it as milk candy to trick them into eating it." Looking at Froststar in her arms, Qin Duanyu gave a cheerful summary, then pulled out a whole unopened bag of Little Black Rabbit milk candy, feigning surprise as she said:
