Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"Oh dear, it seems I was frozen stiff and ate the special milk candy that was originally prepared for Amiya. Don't worry, if an ordinary person ate it, they would just feel a bitter taste in their mouth, there are no side effects."

Speaking of which, it was because of the weakness that Lappland experienced after taking this drug that he gave up the opportunity to be Angelina's assistant. He thought that the girl would be immune to the central air conditioning, but she still ended up in his hands... cough cough cough.

"You... shameless, despicable, bastard!" Froststar could no longer contain herself and cursed loudly.

That damned bastard had it all planned out in the rabbit hole! All the bets, being tricked, and even the final forced kiss were just to get the drugged candy into her mouth so that the strange taste wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"The person who tricked me into eating the alcoholic candy has no right to say such things! If it weren't for your actions reminding me, I wouldn't have thought I had this kind of candy on me." Qin Duanyu adjusted her position to be more comfortable and retorted righteously.

He deceived the feelings of an innocent young girl, took advantage of her along the way, and now he has the audacity to say such heartless things, all while speaking in a nonchalant tone as if he were the eldest brother who doesn't speak ill of the second brother. It's such a waste of that pretty face; one can't help but wonder if it's made of the Dragon Gate City Wall.

"I...I'm going to kill you...liar..." White Rabbit had clearly never seen such a shameless person before, and wished she could glare Qin Duanyu to death.

"As everyone knows, I'm a weakling who's most afraid of being threatened by the strong. How about I tie you up first? I learned a lot of techniques from a ninja lady from the Eastern Kingdom," Qin Duanyu said cheekily, pretending to take out his tools from his pocket.

"Waaah...waaah..." Froststar's eyes reddened, and two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Don't cry, your tears will freeze! I won't really do anything to you... I'm a gentleman... Golden Spirit..." Qin Duanyu never expected Shuangxing to show such a vulnerable side, and hurriedly tried to wipe her tears away.

Just as her hand reached out, she suddenly turned her head and bit Qin Duanyu's finger hard.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go! Stop biting! It's bleeding!" The shrill screams added to the desolation and pain in the cold wind.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered!

……

However, the potion's power was undeniable. After biting for a while, Froststar weakly loosened her teeth, but she still looked like she was about to cry, glaring fiercely at Qin Duanyu.

"No, although I am indeed quite handsome, it would be embarrassing to be stared at all." Qin Duanyu scratched his head, feeling rather uncomfortable, and said awkwardly.

“My brothers and sisters, they are all fools. They are all fools who only know how to help each other, who only want to survive, who only want a place to stay. But I can’t even fulfill their wishes.” This time, Froststar was not swayed by him, but spoke in a sorrowful tone.

"You mean... the Yetis?" Qin Duanyu's voice became low, as if he was trying to suppress something.

“That’s right! Why did we risk all our lives to create a lie? The beliefs that Talulah once talked to us about, the ideas that needed to be established, and the direction that needed to be constantly strengthened and corrected—all of that is gone.”

"We were assigned to the most difficult battles and couldn't get involved in the team's development. Everything happened too fast... By the time we realized what was happening, it was too late. All that was left in the team was fanaticism, blind faith, and deliberate incitement!"

"Perhaps you really can stop her, but my brothers and sisters, countless ordinary people and infected who have died... are gone forever. And I, I should have been there for them when they needed me most, fighting alongside them, until we were all..."

Froststar poured out her heart as if venting, and finally glared fiercely at Qin Duanyu: "But you not only deprived me of the opportunity to fight alongside them, but also destroyed my wish to fight to the end like a warrior!"

She knew perfectly well that Qin Duanyu's actions were to protect her, but the death of the Yetis made her unable to remain calm. So, after waking up from her coma, she resolutely refused the Phantom Crossbowmen's offer to escort her back to Chernobog, and instead returned to Lungmen, where she was destined to have no chance of survival.

She wanted to stay with the Yetis, even if it meant dying together!

Pfft!

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Qin Duanyu shrugged and looked down at some instrument.

"How long are you going to humiliate me... I will never... forgive you..." Froststar squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, revealing a resolute determination that "you may have my body, but you will never have my heart."

"Luckily it wasn't damaged by the cold. It's definitely a communicator improved by the engineering department." Qin Duanyu clapped his hands and activated an internal channel. "Snow monsters, I've picked up your eldest sister. Say hello to her."

The other end was extremely noisy, like a banquet was being held.

"Big sister, the treatment here at brother-in-law's place is really good. They have authentic Ursus cuisine, and the vodka is plentiful, and it's not the cheap stuff with antifreeze added! I just asked Mr. Blackhorn, and they're even hiring security guards!"

"Care is so awful! Care is just too cloying!"

"Sorry, Yang Ge has had too much to drink again. Big sister, this is Petrova. Everyone is safe. Brother-in-law successfully evacuated us to the landship!"

Then, familiar voices came through the communicator, all of them revealing joy and delight. They were definitely not forced smiles after being captured, but rather genuine happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

“You guys…” As everyone knows, recordings can’t be photoshopped, so they must be real. White Rabbit was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of bewilderment and joy, as if she were in a dream. She then looked at Qin Duanyu.

"What... what exactly is going on?"

There will be three updates tonight, but the last update will be posted in the group chat. Don't ask why.

Group number 580842324

that's all.

Chapter 76, Section 361: Who Made Me a Liar?

Rewind to an hour earlier, on the eve of the Black-Clad's attack on the Yeti.

"Very good, thank you all for your cooperation. After things are over here, I will give you a few words of praise to Lao Wei." Qin Duanyu nodded with satisfaction, his hands behind his back as if he were about to go home.

"Chief, why did you agree to the doctor's request? And such an important matter should have been reported to Miss Lin..." A man in a black raincoat who arrived later asked his leader in a low voice as he watched Qin Duanyu head alone to the Yeti's position.

"Our loyalty is to Lord Wei, and that will never change," the leader of the Pero tribe said coldly, not waiting for his subordinates to ask further. "And the Doctor just showed me Lord Wei's companion jade..."

Upon hearing this, the men in black raincoats fell silent.

Every founding emperor of a nation would more or less fabricate some extraordinary natural phenomena to demonstrate that his regime was ordained by heaven. The founding emperor of the Yan Kingdom claimed to be an extraordinary person born with a jade in his mouth.

From then on, before a new member of the Yan royal family was born, a special person would select fine jade to carve and polish. The jade would then be worn around the neck until adulthood to show off one's imperial lineage.

In a sense, this jade pendant almost represents Wei Yanwu himself. Only extremely close people like his wife and children would have the opportunity to possess and use it. Even their superior, the Rat King, who was highly valued and trusted, and his daughter, had never received this honor.

Moreover, because the mission he was carrying was extremely important, Wei Yanwu had previously given a clear order that no one was allowed to contact him directly unless summoned.

Therefore, as long as Qin Duanyu's orders are not something that would seriously disrupt the plan or completely contradict Wei Yanwu's instructions before departure, they should be cooperated with to the best of our ability.

Although the other party's request was somewhat outrageous, it happened to hit his bottom line. Anyway, if Duke Wei blamed him later, the scholar who showed the jade pendant would take the blame, and it wouldn't have much to do with them.

However, this doctor is truly daring to risk angering Lungmen to protect a group of hostile infected. He looked at Qin Duanyu disappearing into the ruins with a strange smile on his face.

On the other side, Qin Duanyu had already entered the Yeti's warning range.

"Big Bear, it's me. Tell the brothers not to shake their hands!" He shouted before the other side could even ask.

"Hmm...that voice...is that Mr. Rasputin? What's he doing here?"

"He did say he was going to Lungmen to seek refuge with relatives. Could he have ended up in the slums too? Never mind, Rasputin, it's dangerous here now. We'll take you to the secret passage first, and whatever you do, don't look back..."

"Those people in black raincoats are clearing out everyone in the slums. We don't know how long they can hold out. Just try your best to escape. Maybe you'll see Big Sister... wait, that outfit... he's a Doctor from Rhodes Island!?"

The yetis, who had initially relaxed somewhat and even cared about Qin Duanyu's safety, became wary after seeing his appearance, and drew their swords again, pointing them at Qin Duanyu.

To be precise, it was behind him.

After all, neither Mr. Rasputin nor the Rhodes Island doctor possessed any significant military strength. They were more concerned that this was a tactic to attract attention before launching an attack.

"Don't worry, I'm not followed by anyone," Qin Duanyu said calmly as she stopped.

“No wonder when we asked my older sister, she said the Rhodes Island doctor was a fraud. No wonder you didn’t say a word after you were rescued from the cave…” Petrova sneered, saying irritably, “What should we call you? Doctor? Rasputin?”

"Just call me Doctor, it sounds more natural. I'm sorry I lied to you back then, but I think you can understand. In that situation, revealing my identity would likely have resulted in my execution on the spot." Qin Duanyu gave a bitter smile. "Don't worry about the details, I'm actually here to save people."

"Persuade me to surrender? There's no need for that!" Petrova shook her head and refused without even thinking.

"No, no, no, please listen to the whole recording." Qin Duanyu took out a recorder and pressed play.

"How about we make a bet..."

"...Mr. Liar, it seems you've won this time."

The recording was clearly about the bet the two made about joining Rhodes Island. Of course, Qin Duanyu did not continue playing the part where Frostnova broke the bet, or the strange, hesitant sounds that followed.

He still has some sense of shame.

“Doctor, this evidence is far from enough. After all, my older sister said that you can’t believe a single word you say!” Petrova glanced at her companion behind her, gritted her teeth, and continued, “I need more proof!”

“Well, you and Frostnova are the only women in the team, so there are some private things about her that only you should know, right?” Qin Duanyu walked towards Petrova and whispered a string of mysterious numbers in her ear.

“You…you wouldn’t…already…” Petrova stammered, her face flushed.

Although Frostnova's words still seemed to echo in her ears, what the Doctor said was so shocking, and it was something that could only be known through personal experience, so she couldn't help but believe it.

"It'll be soon, so we're all on the same side!" Qin Duanyu said vaguely.

“In that case, everyone pack your things, set up Originium to destroy the surrounding area and create the illusion of a battle, and then…” Petrova hesitated for a moment, “…follow my brother-in-law and leave here. He has already arranged the aftermath.”

"Brother-in-law?!" The Yetis exclaimed in surprise, staring at Petrova in disbelief.

“That’s right, I’ve already confirmed it. There are some things that only our brother-in-law knows, so… let’s just follow his arrangements!” Petrova said confidently.

“I knew it! That day, my older sister called the doctor over for questioning alone, and something was off afterward. And she and the doctor were thrown into the hole for so long, who knows what might have happened… Big Bear, you really should learn from this… Ouch! Ouch! Brother-in-law, help me!” Yang Ge, who had been drinking a bit, spoke his mind, but before he could finish his sentence, he was subdued by force.

The remaining Yetis took the opportunity to laugh loudly and tease the reckless young Yeti.

That's good, at least I won't die here.

……

"So what exactly did you tell Petrova?" Froststar, lying in Qin Duanyu's arms, asked with a frown.

"Just let them go back to the land-based ship first, and I'll take care of picking you up too," Qin Duanyu said with a smile.

"No, I'm asking what evidence you used to gain her trust!" Froststar persisted, pressing for an answer.

“86-60-88! After hearing that, she had no more doubts.” Seeing that the white rabbit wouldn’t give up until she found out the answer, Qin Duanyu could only lean close to her ear and whisper.

"You...how...how did you know..." Perhaps it was the effect of the owl potion, perhaps Qin Duanyu's way of whispering in her ear was too intimate, or perhaps what he said was too private, in any case, an alluring blush appeared on Shuangxing's pale cheeks.

"Um... when we kissed, you took my hand and started touching it all over, so..."

"Shut up! You scum! You pervert! You scoundrel! You not only lied to me, but you also lied to my brothers and sisters!" Before Qin Duanyu could finish speaking, Shuangxing scolded him in a sweet voice.

No wonder Petrova believed the conman so easily. Because of her physical condition, she always wore warm clothes that covered her body, plus a Patriot coat on top, so it was impossible to measure the data accurately by sight alone.

Only Petrova, who was also a woman and responsible for taking care of her daily life, would know about such private matters. So when that silly girl heard Qin Duanyu report the data, she concluded that something had happened between him and her.

However, to be fair, when they were trapped in the rabbit hole, they were indeed... cough cough cough.

"Sorry, but what can I do? I'm a liar. Since the little white rabbit has willingly delivered herself into my hands, how can I let her go?" Qin Duanyu said with a smile, picking her up in a princess carry. "Comfortable, isn't it? Few people get to enjoy this kind of treatment from me."

“…He’s just a despicable opportunist. What can I do when I can’t fight back?” Froststar sighed resignedly and rested her head on Qin Duanyu’s shoulder. “Thank you, Mr. Liar.”

"So, Doctor, you somehow managed to persuade those black-clad figures to cooperate with you in staging a play and rescue all the Yetis, right? What a clever scheme! I doubt anyone would have imagined that those stubborn black-clad figures would help you."

“That’s right! Not only was the Guard Bureau fooled, but even Rhodes Island’s own people, and even Kal’tsit, were deceived…” Qin Duanyu said smugly, then suddenly realized something was wrong, “Amiya!? When did you get here?”

"Because I was worried about your safety, I listened in from the moment you mentioned seeing the man in the black raincoat." Amiya's upper face was completely covered by darkness, leaving only two terrifying red dots visible. "No wonder Ace and Scout's team aren't here; you sent them to meet them, didn't you?"

"Amiya, let me explain! There were so many people talking back then, if I didn't act convincingly..."

"Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard the news that the Yetis had been wiped out? Do you know how worried I was about your mental state?"

"Don't do anything. Frostnova is very weak. Right now, she has no protective gear and I'm the only one who can hold her. If we accidentally hurt her..."
