Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Chen's face was as sour as could be.

In fact, she hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided that having someone watching over her might have some effect in dissuading her.

If Qi Yan were allowed to find his own way to Dosoles, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause if he went off on his own?

Patriot walked to Chen's side and gently comforted him:

"I can help you too, keep an eye on him."

Only after receiving support from patriots did Chen's expression soften.

But then she saw Qi Yan throw himself onto his bed, pull the blanket over himself, and prepare to sleep.

"What are you doing, you bastard? Why are you sleeping with girls like that?!"

Chen's blood pressure spiked, and he felt an urge to throw Qi Yan, bed and all, out the window.

Unfortunately, her anger couldn't burn through Qi Yan's skin at all.

"Good night, Makabaka."

Qi Yan curled up in the blankets, yawned one last time, and no longer resisted the call from the bottom of her heart, letting it drag her into a deep sleep.

The murmurs echoed in Qi Yan's ears.

A damp, icy aura surrounded Qi Yan.

Qi Yan felt as if his consciousness was constantly sinking, entering a deep blue ocean.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt incredibly crowded around him.

He 'opened' his eyes to observe his surroundings.

There was nothing there, just a vast expanse of blue, but Qi Yan knew that countless enormous consciousnesses were gathered around him.

Hai Si, Da Qun.

After Qi Yan drank the seawater mixed with Hai Si's blood, he kept feeling the call from the large group.

Hai Si wanted to drag him into the large group, and Qi Yan gladly accepted.

But after joining the large group, Qi Yan felt somewhat lost.

Despite the countless consciousnesses within the large group, each representing an independent Sea Child individual, not a single Sea Child chose to speak.

It's just like the situation Qi Yan encountered on Earth, where there were hundreds or thousands of people in a chat group, but they were all lurking idiots.

Is anyone still breathing?

"Ishamara?"

"The Deep Blue Tree?"

"Siyuan's lifeblood?"

"An unmelting iceberg?"

Amidst the quiet crowd, a frantic shout began to echo, naming each of the four newborn members of Hai Si.

Qi Yan's shouts, aside from causing a brief surge of consciousness within the large group, did not create much of a stir.

Qi Yan's consciousness swept across the area, forcibly capturing the consciousness of anyone passing by, and shaking them violently until they emitted a blurry fluctuation.

"Huh? The hunt failed?"

Qi Yan understood the message the other party was conveying and immediately realized what was happening.

This little sea creature was probably hunting when it was caught in the net by Qi Yan and shaken around.

Just as Qi Yan was pondering, the consciousness he had captured suddenly collapsed, and then a stream of information was transformed into an image and transmitted to the large group.

The scene was spinning wildly, and the blue fins of the sea creature could be vaguely seen struggling in the water, trying to maintain its balance. Unfortunately, the large number of back spikes was something it couldn't control at all.

Just as Qi Yan was about to be overwhelmed by the scene, a giant deep-sea fish opened its huge mouth and swallowed Hai Si whole.

The scene stopped abruptly.

Qi Yan looked at the dissipating consciousness in front of him, lost in thought.

This scene must be what Sea Si saw before it died. Each Sea Si would upload the scene of its death to the group in exchange for a new direction of evolution.

Hai Si, however, had no language.

They don't need to communicate; they can determine their evolutionary direction simply by watching death replays.

Qi Yan began to wander around the large group, silently examining the consciousnesses around him. Every now and then, he would find that some of the sea creatures had experienced various accidents and reported their own death.

A sea creature was running around on the seabed when it fell into an underwater volcano and was cooked on the spot.

Some sea creatures would charge headlong at some enormous creature and be crushed to death by being sat on.

Some sea creatures even got lost in a desolate seabed, and their feeding instincts led them to stuff things into their mouths indiscriminately, eventually choking to death on sea sand and pebbles.

There are so many ways to die that it's enough to compile a complete guide to courting death.

He also discovered that various newborn sea creatures, due to problems with their evolutionary direction, died on the spot as soon as they were born.

"Unbelievable, they evolved lungs in the deep sea and then choked to death. How is that possible?"

Qi Yan felt that he could watch Hai Si courting death all day long.

However, he didn't waste too much time on these images of death. After figuring them out, he continued his journey of exploring the large group.

The consciousness group within the large group did not interfere with the unified discourse.

He was the only free person in the large group, and also the only one who didn't fit in.

Because of being out of place, there is freedom; because of freedom, there is being out of place.

After observing for a while, Qi Yan gradually understood Hai Si's behavior.

They seem aimless, acting only on instinct without thinking, which leads to many bizarre ways of dying. But this self-destructive behavior is actually their purpose.

Constant death, constant improvement, constant evolution.

Individual members of the Hai Si are not important; they have no superfluous emotions, and all their actions serve the continuation of the species as a whole.

An idea gradually emerged in Qi Yan's mind.

He then put this idea into action.

His consciousness gradually emptied, expanded, and then he died...

Unfortunately, he couldn't achieve true death. After his consciousness diffused to a certain extent, he began to revive uncontrollably.

But that's enough.

As he died amidst the crowd, an image appeared.

The large group received this image and relayed it to all the sea creatures.

A meow echoed through the crowd, a chorus of death replays, as a tabby cat lay lazily on the lawn, enjoying the afternoon sun.

Young men and women occasionally strolled by outside the lawn.

The tabby cat seemed a little hungry. It lazily rolled over, its tail tip swaying gently, and meowed at passersby.

Not long after, a girl heard the tabby cat meowing, came over, squatted down, and took out some snacks from her pocket to share with it.

The tabby cat successfully filled its stomach with a few meows and its adorable appearance.

At that moment, all the sea creatures that were hunting stopped abruptly.

Chapter 222 Cats Save the World!

Qi Yan's death did not stop.

He repeatedly attempted suicide and continuously played his edited short films to large groups of people.

A white Persian cat lay on the sofa, dozing with its eyes half-closed, when a man came over and gently covered it with a blanket.

All the sea creatures that were resting curled up in the trench were awakened.

A small black female cat, dragging her heavily pregnant belly, slowly walked along the roadside, preparing to rummage through the trash can for food to fill her stomach.

Suddenly a little girl grabbed her father's hand and begged him to take it in.

Unable to resist his daughter's pleading, the father went to check on the kitten for a while and, seeing that she showed no signs of aggression, took her to a nearby veterinary hospital where the veterinarian examined her and took good care of her.

The little girl stayed by the mother cat's side the whole time, speaking to her softly.

The mother sea creatures were stunned, not even noticing the baby sea creatures they were carrying falling onto the sand.

In the dimly lit room, a calico cat, bored out of its mind, knocked everything off the table onto the floor.

A man heard a noise and came out of his bedroom. He saw the calico cat causing trouble and immediately flew into a rage.

The calico cat sensed its owner was angry and quickly ran over, rubbing its head against its owner's trouser leg while making sweet meows.

Seeing this, the man suppressed his rising anger and ultimately just patted the calico cat a few times as a warning.

The sea creatures, who were being chased and beaten by their prey after failing to hunt, suddenly felt an unprecedented emotion surging within them.

Qi Yan looked at the completely chaotic group chat and felt a surge of excitement. He quickly pressed on and tried even harder to commit suicide.

When their fur gets dirty, their owners will find a way to help clean it. After they use the litter box, you can just fill it with cat litter and then leave it alone. Their owners will clean it regularly. As soon as their belly is exposed, their owners will automatically rush over and excitedly rub it.

An emotion called jealousy gradually awakened in these children.

They watched those furry little creatures with film-like ears, sleeping until they naturally woke up every day, not having to hunt for food or live in fear, only needing to be cute to have humans willing to pamper them.

Jealousy caused the sea creatures to separate from their bodies.

In a secluded experimental base, a group of people dressed in dark green coats are recording the Haisi individuals in front of them.

"Subject B01154 was in normal condition. After the organs were extracted, the patient's vitality was temporarily reduced, but it quickly returned to a stable state and gradually improved."

"The organs of the experimental subject deteriorate rapidly after being removed from the body and are expected to become completely inactive within five minutes."

"Prepare for the next phase of the experiment."

As the recording was completed, those people skillfully put on their protective equipment, picked up their scalpels, and walked towards the restrained Hai Si individual in front of them.

The individual Haisi did not react much to the approaching crowd.

It wasn't until a sharp scalpel sliced ​​through its scaly body that its survival instincts kicked in and it began to struggle.

Those people remained unmoved by the reaction and continued performing their surgeries.

Suddenly, Hai Si stopped struggling, its mouth opening and closing repeatedly, as if trying to do something.

This unusual phenomenon immediately caught the attention of those people.

Someone peered into Hai Si's mouth and then seemed to discover something outrageous, their eyes widening behind the protective mask.

"This is...this is a vocal organ! This sea creature is evolving!"

The man suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed to his companion, "Quickly report to His Excellency the Bishop! Hai Si is actually evolving in a non-survival direction!"

"Meow~meow~meow~"

A meow came from the mouth of the individual Sea Child.

Instantly, all the members of the Deep Sea Church present were plunged into unparalleled shock.

They didn't understand the meaning of the sound.

And when the individual Haisi discovered that after it made a meowing sound, the humans who had been harming it actually stopped moving and immediately started meowing even more loudly.

Soon, a man wearing a dark green robe and with inhumanly blue skin arrived at the scene.

His face was obscured by long, messy, dark green hair that resembled seaweed, with only a pair of dark green eyes, like those of a fish, visible.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with shock.

"Immediately protect this individual, suspend all experiments on it, carefully nurture it, and figure out its current evolutionary direction!"

The bishop acted decisively, issuing orders to protect the strange sea creature.

Amidst the constant meowing, the individual Seagull was moved to what is theoretically the most comfortable environment for Seagull, where it was provided with unlimited food of all kinds of flavors.

Seeing this, the sea lion cried out even louder and pounced on the food, eating voraciously.

A moment later, it... deliberately choked itself to death.

The images of death appeared in the crowd immediately.
