Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Wei Yanwu did not take it, but gestured for him to put the report down, and then said:

"What are the casualties?"

"Reporting to Lord Wei, everyone only suffered minor injuries. Many people were not even injured. They simply lay down and pretended to be unconscious to get away with it."

Wei Yanwu rarely showed a slight smile: "This guy, finally acting like a human being."

However, Wei Yanwu quickly suppressed his smile and pressed on with the question:

"How is the Rat King doing?"

"...Accompanied by Qi Yan, the Rat King hurriedly packed his belongings and headed towards the outer ring of Lungmen, seemingly preparing to return to Rhodes Island overnight."

Wei Yanwu looked down at the tea on his table and said self-deprecatingly:

"I overestimated myself. It seems that I am really not likable in his eyes, or I have no use at all."

The black-clad shadow guard didn't dare to speak.

Wei Yanwu didn't mind too much that he could only enjoy his pot of fine tea alone.

He'd rather enjoy such good tea all by himself than let it go to a dog.

At most, it just means getting up twice more in the middle of the night.

"No, that's not right. It's already past midnight." Wei Yanwu realized and looked at the dark night outside the window. "I guess I'll just stay up all night. I'll be all alone again."

The black-clad shadow guard hesitated for a moment, then whispered a reminder:

“Lord Wei, why don’t you take a look at that report? It contains Qi Yan’s message to you.”

Wei Yanwu opened his dragon eyes slightly, quickly flipped through the report, and swiftly found the message that the Rat King had asked the Gray Tail troops to relay.

After reading it, Wei Yanwu looked utterly despairing:

"He's already taken advantage of me twice, and he's still not done?"

"Quickly contact the Koi Detective Agency... no, don't say that directly. Wait for me to find some missions that can be dispatched overseas, and send those people out of Lungmen!"

Wei Yanwu suddenly stood up, paced around the office twice, and subconsciously reached for his pipe at his waist before realizing that it had been confiscated.

Helpless, he quickly walked back to the table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

As he drank the tea, Wei Yanwu looked at the cup in his hand and suddenly thought of a tricky mission from Yan Kingdom.

On the other side, on the outer ring of Longmen, an off-road vehicle is parked on the edge of the wilderness.

Inside the car, Graytail Incense Master in the driver's seat turned to look at Rat King, who in turn turned to look at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was puzzled by the stares and asked, "Why are you all looking at me? Let's go!"

"Shouldn't you have told us where we're going before we set off?" The Rat King looked equally bewildered. "Your Rhodes Island ships have no fixed abode in the wilderness. Who knows where they'll be after a whole day?"

Qi Yan turned his head to look at the vast night outside the car window, his mouth slightly agape.

Ironically, even he, a Rhodes Island resident, didn't know Rhodes Island's route!

Chapter 147 Throughout my life, Qi Xiaobai has always given explanations to everyone I meet.

"Hey, Kal'tsit, send me your coordinates, I can't get home."

"What do you mean, 'Don't come back?'"

"I was wrong. I'll definitely report to you next time I sneak out... No, no, no, I really didn't cause any trouble. I just wanted to show Rhodes Island's hospitality by seeing off the Rat King."

Qi Yan covered his face and huddled in the car seat, using his terminal to contact Kal'tsit.

At this moment, he was incredibly grateful that Kal'tsit was a workaholic; otherwise, he really wouldn't know who to turn to in the middle of the night.

After much persuasion, Qi Yan finally obtained the coordinates and the complete route to Rhodes Island from Kal'tsit, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Inside the car, both the Rat King and Graytail Fragrance Master had somewhat strange expressions.

Graytail Incense Master didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Qi Yan. After receiving the coordinates sent by Qi Yan, he immediately started the car obediently.

The Rat King didn't care about any of that, revealing a benevolent smile, and said sarcastically:

"I almost thought that this second trip to Rhodes Island would require me to use my own connections to investigate the coordinates again."

"That's impossible, sir, you really look down on me." Qi Yan hung up the call and immediately reverted to his true nature. "Kal'tsit is nothing. I was just being polite because she's working so hard overtime. She's the one who makes all my coffee!"

Qi Yan had barely finished boasting when the terminal vibrated again.

"Why did you call back again?"

Seeing the three large characters 'Old Lynx' displayed on the screen, Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly answered the call.

"What's going on... I really didn't, I didn't bring too many people back this time... Don't change the route, I'm rich this time, the Rat King brought his entire fortune to the island, a ton of money!"

When Qi Yan heard that Kal'tsit was going to change the route and leave him in the wilderness, he was so scared that he almost jumped out of the car window.

Graytail Incense Master was trying hard to control his facial muscles, his whole face was contorted together. If it weren't for the mask covering his face, he was afraid that the Rat King and Qi Yan behind him would misunderstand that he was having a cramp.

The Rat King instinctively clutched his wallet, staring at Qi Yan with a wary expression.

Then he saw Qi Yan's expression turn solemn, and his tone become extremely serious:

"Kal'tsit, you don't really understand the deeper meaning behind my actions. As Rhodes Island continues to develop and gets involved in more and more events, Rhodes Island has gradually come into the sights of various forces."

As you said, Rhodes Island is just a small pharmaceutical company, like an ant in front of those behemoths. Therefore, in order to ensure that we can maneuver among the various forces, people with special identities are crucial.

And most importantly, you should also know the current situation in Londinium. Rhodes Island will inevitably have to go there in the future. I am indeed very strong, but I cannot be in two places at once; we need more strong individuals to join us.”

The Rat King looked at Qi Yan with a strange expression.

This was the third explanation he had heard from Qi Yan.

They interpreted feelings differently for each of them!

After Qi Yan hung up the call, he noticed the Rat King's strange expression and immediately grinned:

"Don't look at me like that. I know that these days, it's rare to see someone as dedicated to the organization as I am."

"No, I'm just wondering how many explanations you've come up with to fool us," the Rat King said bluntly.

"What do you mean by fooling me!" Qi Yan immediately became displeased. "The so-called explanation is about having different explanations for different people. I use different methods to convince different people. That's what being responsible means."

Otherwise, I'll just keep to myself and do it, or I can just say something harsh: "I, Qi Xiaobai, have never explained my actions to you!"

The Rat King rolled his eyes and ignored Qi Yan.

Tonight's ordeal has certainly taken its toll on his old bones.

Finally able to put everything behind him in the Dragon Gate, and with Qi Yan and Gray Tail Fragrance Master by his side, the Rat King felt an unprecedented peace in his heart.

After a moment, the Rat King's breathing gradually became long and deep.

When Graytail Incense Master noticed that the Rat King had fallen asleep, he quickly slowed down the car to make it more stable.

Qi Yan rolled up the car window and yawned.

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Qi Yan's lips curled up slightly.

He doesn't actually dislike the feeling of needing to explain himself to others when doing something.

It's much better than... no one caring.

The aftereffects of the drug slowly crept into her mind. Qi Yan did not resist and closed her eyes to rest.

The stars were faint, and two full moons hung in the sky. Vehicles on the desolate land were as insignificant as insects, crawling through the night.

The three people, young and old, were quiet inside the car, with only the soft sound of the wheels rolling over gravel reaching their ears.

As the full moon swirls and the starlight fades, the dawn breaks on the horizon, and Qi Yan slowly opens his eyes.

The golden morning light shone into his dark eyes.

"Oh, my dog ​​eyes!"

Qi Yan let out a strange cry, covered his eyes, and rubbed them hard.

The Rat King was startled awake by his strange cry and quickly sat up straight: "Is Terra going to be destroyed?"

Qi Yan was still yelling strangely.

The gray-tailed incense master coughed and explained:

"Mr. Qi Yan, your eyes were blinded by the morning light. You should continue sleeping... Ah, no need, we'll be at Rhodes Island soon."

A massive land-based warship appeared on the horizon, like a lurking beast, slowly advancing in the three people's field of vision.

"Gentlemen, I'm about to speed up."

With a shout, Graytail Incense Master stepped on the gas.

The engine roared, and the car began to accelerate towards Rhodes Island.

As the vehicle drew near, the shadow of the Rhodes Island ship enveloped it.

The Rat King looked up at the enormous creature before him and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Even though it's not the first time I've seen it, I still can't help but be shocked by this behemoth of yours. It's not like a mobile city; it seems more like a living thing."

"You're not the first person to say that about it."

Qi Yan chuckled and made a joke, then used his terminal to contact the Rhodes Island logistics operator on duty and report the three people's information.

Soon, Rhodes Island slowed down and lowered a hatch to allow the three people to disembark.

The girl in charge of logistics rushed over and reminded Qi Yan, who was getting off the bus:

"Be careful of Dr. Kal'tsit."

After saying that, the girl ran away without looking back.

Qi Yan's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to crawl out through the still-open hatch.

Before he could make any move, he heard familiar footsteps rapidly approaching.

A touch of soothing green appeared in Qi Yan's sight.

"Mr. Rat King, welcome."

Kal'tsit quickly walked to Qi Yan's side, greeting the Rat King while subtly blocking Qi Yan's escape route.

Amiya and the Doctor followed behind Kal'tsit, clearly having made prior arrangements, completely blocking Qi Yan from two other directions.

Qi Yan glanced at Amiya on his left, reluctant to move, then looked at Kal'tsit on his right, too afraid to move. He immediately took a step back and jabbed his elbow into the Doctor's chest.

The doctor almost coughed up his lungs from Qi Yan's retort, clutching his chest and coughing uncontrollably.

"Oh dear, the doctor is injured, on the right side of his neck... oh no, I'll take him to get some treatment."

Qi Yan let out an affected exclamation and dragged the doctor away.

Kal'tsit took a deep breath and made up her mind that she had to put the Doctor's training plan on the agenda, with the goal of developing basic Originium Arts!

She composed herself, turned to look at the Rat King, and nodded apologetically:

"It made you laugh."

"No." The Rat King smiled demurely. "I just thought the atmosphere on Rhodes Island was great, so I reluctantly accepted Qi Yan's invitation."

"...However, Rhodes Island does not have a retirement home."

Kal'tsit couldn't help but facepalm.

Chapter 148 Warfarin Captures Skadi, Qi Yan Follows

Kal'tsit resisted the arrival of the Rat King.

Unlike the Patriots she watched grow up, the Rat King is not an Infected and his identity is quite sensitive. If he were to stay on Rhodes Island for an extended period, no one knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

But after seeing the sincerity in the Rat King's wallet, Kal'tsit reluctantly accepted his arrival.

After entrusting Amiya with full responsibility for receiving the Rat King, Kal'tsit quickly walked through the Rhodes Island corridor.

By accessing the backend monitoring screen through the terminal, Kal'tsit quickly pinpointed Qi Yan's escape route.

But when she found the last place Qi Yan had passed by, she only found a doctor who had run out of sanity and was squatting on the ground babbling.

"This guy."

Kal'tsit muttered something, then pulled out some sanity potion and forced it down the doctor's throat.
