Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The doctor suddenly raised his hand and scratched his head through his hood, then laughed heartily:

"All Worries-Free, turns out he's just a meddlesome god. What does he know about Qi language? My brothers won't be so easily defeated. That bastard is incredibly arrogant; he can laugh like an idiot even after being slashed. In my opinion, that god doesn't understand anything!"

Kal'tsit didn't respond, but simply reached out and gently tidied Amiya's hair.

She then confirmed with Logos again: "Amiya is just sleeping normally, we can just wait for her to wake up, right?"

“There’s no mistake about that,” Logos affirmed.

"That's good. Amiya is indeed too tired on weekdays. Let her take this opportunity to get some rest."

Kal'tsit completely put aside her worries and returned to her usual demeanor: "Move Amiya to a ward in the medical department to rest, lift the security measures on Rhodes Island, and everyone return to your posts to continue working."

Doctor, you don't need to go back to the bridge; you still have a lot of work to finish.

Under Kal'tsit's command, everyone returned to the normal course in an orderly manner.

However, everyone couldn't help but secretly glance at Kal'tsit with worried eyes.

Under the furtive glances of the crowd, Kal'tsit left expressionlessly.

When Kal'tsit returned to her office and passed through the now-destroyed door, she went about her work as usual.

Even when Kroos brought engineering staff to repair the door, it didn't affect Kal'tsit in the slightest.

After the door was repaired, Kroos came to bother Kal'tsit, but was scared away by Kal'tsit's gaze.

The cold metal door firmly locked Kal'tsit alone in her office.

Kal'tsit put down the documents in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and stared at the newly repaired door in front of her, or perhaps she didn't see anything at all.

Her expression showed no signs of fatigue or anything else, only endless numbness.

Instinctively, Kal'tsit opened the drawer.

The drawer was completely empty; the candy had been eaten long ago.

A sigh echoed in the office.

"You trust Bozokasti, you dote on Amiya, and you understand the Doctor..."

"You idiot who only knows how to babble, did you get hung up on the bridge again?"

"Once you receive my message, hurry up and get some candy, then sneakily put it in Kal'tsit's desk drawer!"

"I want fruit flavor, not some coffee candy again!"

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and left a message for the doctor on the terminal.

Unfortunately, his messages all disappeared without a trace, receiving no reply whatsoever.

Qi Yan rolled his eyes in exasperation, feeling a pang of regret. He had forgotten that he would be out for so long and hadn't left enough candy for Kal'tsit beforehand.

Qi Lin leaned against the corner of the wall on the street, ignoring her older brother's frustration, and kept an eye on Himer, who was talking to a convoy of wilderness vehicles not far away.

After a period of hiking, the three finally arrived at a public outpost in the wilderness.

They weren't planning to walk all the way to Colombia; even if they had the willpower, they didn't have that much time to waste.

Over there, Himer held a Lungmen coin in one hand. After the caravan leader waved, he took out a piece of red gold from his satchel.

The fact that red gold was such a hard currency finally brought a smile to the face of the caravan leader.

As he reached out to take the crimson gold, the convoy leader casually asked, "You're not infected, are you?"

Our team doesn't welcome anything dangerous like that!

Hermer's outstretched hand, holding out the crimson gold, froze.

Noticing Himer's unusual behavior, the caravan leader withdrew his outstretched hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"You're an infected person?!" The convoy leader's expression instantly changed. "You filthy thing, get out of the base! Are you trying to kill us?!"

Hamer was startled by his sudden outburst of insults and hurriedly waved his hands to explain:

“My symptoms are not severe, and according to reliable data, normal contact will not transmit Oripathy, I…”

"Get out of here, or I'll have to resort to violence!"

The caravan leader had no interest in listening to Himer's explanation and instead drew a short knife from his waist, brandishing it at Himer.

Hamer was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yan's face immediately darkened. He put away his terminal and led Qi Lin over.

At the same time, he winked at Qi Lin.

The unspoken understanding between the siblings allowed Qi Lin to instantly grasp her brother's meaning.

If the other side dares to actually make a move, then they won't need to spend money to join the convoy; they'll have their own cars instead!

The brother and sister made no attempt to conceal their murderous intent and walked straight up to the leader of the caravan.

Just as Qi Yan was about to speak, the leader of the caravan glanced at the brother and sister, and suddenly stopped waving his short knife.

"You...are you together?"

The team leader inexplicably asked Himer a question.

Hammer was taken aback by the team leader's change in attitude and nodded subconsciously.

The caravan leader opened his mouth, then suddenly chuckled, sheathed his dagger, and a smile returned to his face.

"Look at you, why didn't you say something earlier? Get in the car, you don't need to pay the fare, that kind of thing is completely unnecessary!"

Qi Yan and the other two were all a bit confused, looking at each other blankly, completely unable to figure out what the leader of the caravan was up to.

"Could it be that I've met a good person?" Hermer asked uncertainly.

"Obviously not." Qi Yan directly denied the possibility. "When Qi Lin and I were homeless before, we met a few people who were kind to the infected, but none of them played the role of this guy who completely reversed his attitude."

He seemed more like he had suddenly been taken control of.

Qi Yan didn't deliberately keep his voice down, letting the caravan leader hear him.

The leader of the caravan immediately turned pale.

Chapter 161 Not only did he give me free wine, he also slipped me money.

Just when Qi Yan thought that his words would surely provoke the leader of the caravan again, something happened that left him completely baffled.

The convoy leader, his face dark, suddenly turned around and went back to his convoy, crawling into the hood of a truck.

"Is he going to call for help?"

Qi Yan was momentarily at a loss: "But why crawl into the truck's cargo bed to call for help? Shouldn't that be where supplies are stored?"

He was looking for something.

Qi Lin's nimble wolf ears twitched slightly, clearly discerning the actions of the caravan leader.

"They're not going to check the guns and prepare to fire one at each of us, are they?" Qi Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

As they were talking, the leader of the convoy rolled out of the truck again.

Qi Lin's fingertips slowly gathered blue Originium Arts radiance, but the radiance instantly dissipated when she saw what the caravan leader was holding.

The leader of the caravan tossed a full package over.

Qi Yan reached out and caught it, then opened it to find it filled with food and drinking water!

"I can tell you guys don't trust me, so I won't force you!"

The caravan leader was a little too enthusiastic: "It's not easy for infected people to survive in the wilderness. Even food and water are hard to come by. Even if you have money, it won't help. Consider these things a gift from me."

"If you don't believe me, you can explore this base yourself. We'll set off just before sunset, so you can come anytime you want during that time."

Qi Yan glanced suspiciously at the caravan leader, but did not refuse the package. He casually slung it over his shoulder and turned to leave with Qi Lin and Hermer.

As he walked, he slowly reviewed the events that had just occurred in his mind, and then his gaze involuntarily fell on Qi Lin.

Qi Lin noticed his gaze and was clearly puzzled.

"Let's go take a test."

Qi Yan didn't speculate too much and decided to let the facts speak for themselves.

He led the two women around the stronghold, eventually settling on a fairly lively tavern.

"Hemer, go in and buy a bottle of wine. Remember to reveal your infected identity and see how those people react," Qi Yan suddenly instructed.

Hemer was somewhat confused, but seeing Qi Yan's determined eyes, he chose to obey.

Not long after Himer entered the tavern, a large group of people shouted and cursed, and then Himer covered his head and fled as fast as he could.

Fortunately, the people in the tavern didn't pursue them relentlessly, allowing them to save their lives.

Hermer quickly ran to Qi Lin's side and said with a bitter face:

"They harbored a terrifying malice towards those infected."

"It's already considered good; at least they didn't go so far as to wipe them out completely."

Qi Yan offered a reassuring remark, then silently led the two women into a nearby alley.

He waited silently for more than half an hour, until most of the customers in the tavern had changed, before he got up and strolled leisurely towards the tavern.

Pushing open the tavern door, Qi Yan slapped a Lungmen Dollar on the counter and said to the owner in a nonchalant manner:

"Give me a bottle of strong liquor, the kind that will get me drunk in one gulp and make me forget the pain of Oripathy."

The once bustling tavern fell into a deathly silence the moment Qi Yan uttered those words.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and anger.

"Get out!"

"You filthy thing, who gave you permission to come to the tavern? Are you trying to kill us?"

"What bad luck to have to breathe the same air as you infected people!"

A wine bottle flew by and shattered at Qi Yan's feet.

The owner behind the bar looked shocked and furious, and pulled out a short knife, pointing it at Qi Yan:

"Get out of here right now, or I'll kill you. I don't want your Originium dust-covered blood to soil my tavern!"

Qi Yan didn't say anything and turned to leave, but the tavern owner called him back:

"Take your money with you; I don't want to touch it."

Qi Yan grabbed his Lungmen Coins and left the tavern without a word, returning to the alley to meet up with the two women.

At this moment, his gaze towards Qi Lin was no longer filled with doubt, but with absolute certainty.

However, Qi Yan still waited for a while. After the tavern's customers changed again, he let Qi Lin go in alone to try buying alcohol.

A moment later, under the watchful eyes of Qi Yan and He Mo, Qi Lin returned to them, carrying a bottle of wine in one hand and clutching a thick wad of Lungmen Dollars in the other.

“I said I wanted to buy wine, and the owner sold it to me at cost price. Then I said I was infected, and he suddenly looked sympathetic and said he would never take my money, and offered me the best wine... He even forced a wad of cash on me.”

Qi Lin recounted her experiences in detail.

Qi Yan and He Mo both had strange expressions after hearing about the treatment they received, which was completely different from what they had received.

Even Qi Lin herself clearly realized that something was very wrong with what she was experiencing.

Qi Yan raised a hand and ran it through his hair, took a deep breath, and vaguely realized something:

"No wonder, before Chernobog, only Warfarin and Frostnova were close to her, but after Chernobog, she had several little tails following her around all the time."

Qi Lin's golden eyes were fixed on her older brother, realizing that he was referring to the changes in her interpersonal relationships.

Qi Yan suddenly turned his head and questioned a wisp of air beside him:

"Big White, you better explain yourself! What's going on here? The world's cutest god? Or is your sister the agent of the world's cutest god?"

"Who are you talking to?!"

Himer was clearly startled by Qi Yan's actions; his short brown hair stood on end, and he instinctively hid behind Qi Lin.

Qi Yan sensed He Mo's inexplicable trust in Qi Lin, which made him even more certain. However, he did not answer He Mo and continued to communicate with the air.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"No, this is ridiculous! I've already given up, why is it still working? Do you know how many competitors this will create for me!"
