Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Qin Duanyu, stripped down to her panties, lay on the examination bed, with a beautiful and aloof lynx standing beside her. The scene looked just like a sword-making session in some strange place.

But when Kal'tsit's soft, delicate fingers brushed across her skin, the cool touch extinguished any romantic thoughts in Qin Duanyu; instead, she felt as if she had been cut by a scalpel.

Judging from her calm and indifferent expression, it seems that in the eyes of this Queen Mother of Rhodes Island, there is not much difference between men and women; they are merely living lumps of flesh.

"Alright, your bodily functions have basically recovered. From now on, you can have your check-ups once a month." After some time, Kal'tsit finally withdrew her hand and turned around to write something in the file.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Kal'tsit." Qin Duanyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on her clothes.

Although nominally one is the head of the medical department and the other is the head of the operations department, and they should have had a lot of contact, he has only seen Kal'tsit three times since returning to Rhodes Island, and all of them were for routine medical check-ups.

Qin Duanyu was quite pleased with this.

For some reason, he would feel nervous every time he saw Kal'tsit, like a primary school student seeing the headmaster, feeling inexplicably guilty even if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I'm sure you're wondering why this physical exam was suddenly moved up," Kal'tsit said without looking up as he dressed.

"Are you going out?" Qin Duanyu asked tentatively.

“That’s right, the land-based ships will arrive in Lungmen next week. The leader there, Wei Yanwu, is not someone to be trifled with, and many matters need to be discussed in person,” Kal'tsit said with a hint of helplessness.

Circumstances dictate actions. If this had happened a few years ago, Rhodes Island might not have had the upper hand, but at least both sides would have been on a more equal footing...

puff!

The strange sound of water spraying interrupted Kal'tsit's thoughts. She turned her head in confusion and found Qin Duanyu staring at a cup with an unpleasant expression, some brown liquid still remaining at the corner of his mouth.

"That strong coffee is mine; yours is on the coffee table." Kal'tsit's lips curled into a rare smile.

The expression on this guy's face when he tasted pure bitterness was quite amusing.

"Life is already bitter enough, why not find some sweetness for yourself..." Qin Duanyu awkwardly picked up another cup, but before she could drink, she felt a strong threat.

Kal'tsit stopped what she was doing, her green eyes staring intently at him, as if trying to see into the depths of his soul.

"I'm sorry, someone I really dislike said something similar, and I couldn't control myself." Seeing Qin Duanyu's pale face and cold sweat on her forehead, she slowly withdrew her gaze and offered a completely insincere apology.

"It's alright. If I ever met someone who could make you this angry, I'd definitely slap them a few times." Qin Duanyu didn't dare express her dissatisfaction and secretly cursed herself for being so talkative.

“Continuing our previous topic, I’m leaving this afternoon. To ensure the smooth operation of the Operations Department, I will grant you more permissions, and those medical operators who have passed the battlefield regulations will also be within your allocation scope,” Kal’tsit said, taking a sip of her bitter coffee.

The so-called battlefield regulations assessment refers to medical operators who possess a certain level of self-defense capability and can accompany the operations department to the battlefield when necessary. Ansel and Hibiscus belong to this category.

However, not all medical operators are fighting on the front lines. For example, Gavial the Little Crocodile and Saria, whom we met yesterday, have chosen to stay in the rear medical department for various reasons.

Even a three-year-old doctor knows that the medical department is Rhodes Island's strongest force; any one of these big shots could easily wipe out an entire street.

Kal'tsit essentially gave him a lifeline; as long as he wasn't crazy enough to want to go back to Chernobog, it would be enough to handle any problems he encountered.

However, Qin Duanyu's attention was not on that at all.

Kal'tsit, the behind-the-scenes power holder of Rhodes Island, is leaving on a long trip this afternoon!

Mom isn't home today!

Where are Grandpa's trombone and sunglasses? Amiya quickly went to borrow an oven to set the rhythm.

"...These are the things you need to be responsible for. The specific details have been sent to your email." Fortunately, Kal'tsit couldn't sense emotions. If she had known that this guy was already lost in thought, she probably would have summoned Mon3tr on the spot.

Then, she took out something that looked like a toothpaste box.

"Ah, it's the scent of pure source stone!" Qin Duanyu snapped out of her daze, her eyes fixed intently on the tube of toothpaste.

"This is a semi-liquefied Originium crystal, tentatively named Emergency Sanity Fluid. It can be used to replenish your depleted energy." Kal'tsit nodded. "However, because it is not true pure Originium, it only has a one-week shelf life. After that, it will turn back into a regular crystal. Please be careful."

"That's great! This will be a huge help. How much will it produce?" Qin Duanyu asked excitedly.

Approaching Lungmen means the great war with Reunion is about to restart, and improving the operators' strength is urgent. However, the sanity that is naturally restored each day is only a little bit, so it is impossible to conduct more simulation operations for everyone.

“We can produce one a day, so I suggest…” Kal’tsit walked over, intending to hand the Emergency Sanity Potion to Qin Duanyu, but unexpectedly her legs gave way and she fell into his arms.

A faint jasmine scent lingered in the air, and the lynx's soft body draped over Qin Duanyu, yet it felt surprisingly light.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, you mustn't..." If it were Blue Poison or someone else, he would be overjoyed and might even get a little taste of their charms, but who was this person in front of him? The Empress Dowager of Rhodes Island!

If there's even the slightest movement, Mon3tr will probably bite his head off.

But the person in his arms remained motionless. Qin Duanyu mustered his courage and hugged her, only to be startled.

The lynx, which usually presents a strong and resilient appearance, now revealed a fragile expression like Lin Daiyu, with its brows furrowed, lips bitten, and fine beads of sweat on its forehead. One hand was pressed against its heart, as if in great pain.

Low blood sugar!

One of Qin Duanyu's elders, who suffers from diabetes, occasionally exhibits similar symptoms, so she recognized him at a glance.

He quickly scooped Kal'tsit up in a princess carry and placed her on the sofa. He then pulled out the little black rabbit candy he hadn't finished last time from his pocket and hurriedly stuffed it into the lynx's mouth.

This is just an emergency treatment. Next, she will need to receive an IV drip of glucose, but unfortunately, this involves Qin Duanyu's knowledge and must be done by a professional doctor.

However, they encountered a problem in choosing a replacement. Kal'tsit was a pillar of Rhodes Island, and if people found out that she had fallen into a coma, it would definitely cause panic. They had to find a reliable person.

He anxiously looked out the window, his gaze lingering on the azure sky.

Oh, right, Warfarin!

"Atai...don't leave me..."

Just as he was about to go to the bridge to put Warfarin down, Kal'tsit suddenly grabbed his hand and murmured, a tear sliding down her cheek.

Don't ask why Kal'tsit calls the protagonist Atai. Seriously, doesn't anyone know the inside story behind the name Qin Duanyu?

Section 32, Chapter 32: I Was Bitten by a Kitten

"Hello, I'm Qin Duanyu, the new intern. Um, I was just doing a protein heating experiment with an alcohol lamp, I was definitely not secretly cooking hot pot."

“I hate liars the most. Your name tag clearly says Tyrael.”

"Hey, that's an alias I used when I was studying at Columbia. I'm a genuine Yan country person. Since you came to Babel earlier than me, you can be considered a senior. You can call me Ah Qin or Xiao Qin."

"Understood, Atai."

"Do you know pinyin? Repeat after me: Quin, Qin!"

"Okay, Artest."

Kal'tsit's words seemed to awaken some dormant parts of her mind. Fragmented memories flashed through her mind. Although they were interesting daily interactions, for some reason, Qin Duanyu just wanted to cry.

He had a vague feeling that he had lost something very precious.

"Hey, Lao Qin, stop daydreaming! Did you even hear me?" Warfarin's disgruntled shout brought him back to reality.

Although Kal'tsit held his hand and prevented him from leaving the sofa, it didn't mean Qin Duanyu couldn't contact others. He easily used telepathy to call out to Nearl, who was passing by, and asked her to bring Warfarin from the mast over.

"Hmm, oh! How is Dr. Kal'tsit? Will there be any aftereffects?" Under the cover of her hood, Qin Duanyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and tried to keep her voice calm.

"Thank goodness you acted quickly. You fed her some sugar, which helped her get through the most dangerous period. Once this IV drip is finished, she'll be fine," Warfarin said irritably, giving him a sidelong glance.

"Dr. Warfarin, are you misunderstanding something? Kal'tsit's coma has nothing to do with me." Qin Duanyu could clearly sense that the vampire doctor's attitude towards him had become somewhat unusual after she entered the room.

In the past, it was the casual and relaxed atmosphere with familiar old friends, with a hint of flattery, because she was lusting after Qin Duanyu's body. But now, Warfarin looks at Qin Duanyu as if she's looking at a scumbag.

"Do you know that she spent days and nights trying to get that stupid drug out of you before she left..." Seeing that Qin Duanyu was still confused, she couldn't help but feel angry, and her voice suddenly rose several decibels.

It has nothing to do with you?

Listen to what you're saying. Do you think you're being fair to this stupid lynx?

"Shut up, you two are disturbing me!"

Kal'tsit sat up straight at some point, interrupting Warfarin who was about to speak again.

"Alright, alright, I'm just a tool anyway, you two can handle the rest..." This time, the vampire had learned to anticipate events, and before the Yan Kingdom characters even appeared above his head, he hurriedly fled the office.

"No, don't do it! I'll hang myself back up!"

The black behemoth chased the vampire doctor away until the screams disappeared at the other end of the corridor.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go back to your work and not waste time here." Seeing that Qin Duanyu had no intention of leaving, Kal'tsit said impatiently.

"You're already in this state, are you still planning to go to Longmen today?"

"As a doctor, I know my own body best. Just take care of your own duties and don't worry about anything else!"

"Understand? Oh, so the all-knowing Miss Kal'tsit predicted she would faint, so she deliberately gave me this treat?"

"Qin Duanyu, you...you scoundrel!"

Kal'tsit was furious and wanted to use force to drive the weakling out, but as soon as she stood up, her vision went black and she sat back down on the sofa.

She realized a serious problem: in this state of hypoglycemia, she really couldn't beat Qin Duanyu.

"Hmph, Mon3tr was lured away by Warfarin, and you're no match for me now." Looking at the lynx's weak appearance, Qin Duanyu grinned maliciously as he approached step by step. "I've disliked you for a long time since we played the game, and I'm not going to miss this opportunity!"

"You?" Kal'tsit said dismissively, but obediently shrank back a little.

However, those wicked hands still reached out, one through her knees and the other on her back. Then Kal'tsit felt her body gradually lift off the ground and instinctively rested her head on Qin Duanyu's shoulder.

A princess carry!?

She immediately realized what was happening and stared at Qin Duanyu with a mixture of shame and anger.

"What's there to be angry about? That's exactly how I carried you to the sofa." As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken, and without Mon3tr, Kal'tsit is no better than a weak Doctor. Qin Duanyu said without the slightest fear.

"When Mon3tr comes back... you're dead!" Kal'tsit said viciously, much like a kitten threatening a stranger not to come near.

The black behemoth is an extension of her body. Within a certain range, she can control it at will, but when the distance is too far, she can only execute simple commands, such as tying Warfarin to the mast.

She could sense that Mon3tr was already on its way back.

"We'll talk about it later. Now, just sleep peacefully!" Qin Duanyu placed her on the examination bed, covered her with a blanket, and said with concern, "You haven't slept for days and nights. Who do you think you are?"

“If I hadn’t spent so much time on you, I could have injected glucose on the plane and then taken a nap.”

"Yes, yes, you're right. Do you know why? I'll have Amiya inform Lungmen that Rhodes Island's plane is broken, and we'll talk about everything tomorrow. Now, close your eyes and don't think about anything!"

……

After watching the lynx fall into a deep sleep, Qin Duanyu locked the office door for her and returned to the top floor humming a little tune.

"Doctor, you seem so happy, the medical check-up results must be good, right?" Blue Poison said with a smile, then suddenly her expression changed. "How did you get your hand injured? Bandage it quickly, it would be troublesome if it got infected!"

"Oh, I accidentally got bitten by a kitten while feeding her." Qin Duanyu looked at the teeth marks on his finger. The kitten had kept her mouth tightly closed while he was feeding her candy, and it took him a lot of effort to pry it open. That's when his finger was scratched by her sharp teeth.

"Oh, I see. Then remember to get your rabies vaccine." Seeing Qin Duanyu's nonchalant attitude, Lan Du nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but her heart was in turmoil.
