Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Only Qi Yan's expression changed.

"Everyone, run! Brother Jie, Doctor, Grandpa, get away from the stall!"

Qi Yan disregarded everything, stood on tiptoe and shouted, then was the first to turn around and squeeze out of the crowd.

The tourists in front of the stall were all stunned, but no one paid any attention to this inexplicable suggestion.

The doctor was sitting behind the stall counting money with a happy expression when he suddenly heard Qi Yan's exclamation, which startled him so much that he almost fell off his chair.

"What's going on?" The doctor hurriedly hid behind Patriot. "Which god has descended again?"

"I don't know either."

The patriot's voice was somewhat solemn.

Jie also stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at the woman on the stall who was still frantically stuffing pies into her mouth.

If he remembered correctly, Qi Yan's voice came right after the woman spoke.

The woman had pink curly hair and a very cute appearance. I noticed that there was a pair of small hamster ears in her pink hair.

This is a Zalak girl.

Jie frowned slightly, not understanding why such an innocent-looking girl would make Qi Yan so panicked.

After spending these past few days together, he had come to know that Qi Yan was the strongest fighter below the gods, and that he was accompanied by an injured god.

This combination, unless it encounters a complete god, will sweep everything across this land.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked the girl:

"Are you a god?"

The girl paused in her act of stuffing a biscuit into her mouth, looked up at Jie, her pink, watery eyes filled with confusion.

"What are you talking about? How could a god be as unlucky as me? I just forgot to turn off my microphone and said a few idle words while at work, and I got fired by my boss."

As the girl spoke, her expression turned sorrowful: "I don't have a job right now, so I can only take some street photos and post them on my online account to earn some money from traffic."

"Your pies are so delicious, can I post a picture of them online?"

As she spoke, the girl took out her camera from her handbag and looked at Zi with hopeful eyes.

Faced with the girl's pitiful gaze, Jie Guishi almost nodded.

He regretted it as soon as he nodded.

This person is someone who even Qi Yan seems to fear. If he rashly agrees to the other party's request, will he trigger some taboo?

Under the watchful eyes of the girl, who held a camera, she energetically jumped off the chair and aimed the lens at the stall.

In the camera footage, the doctor is huddled behind Patriot, who is tense all over, his hand quietly reaching for the kitchen knife.

The girl pressed the camera shutter.

The Originium oven on the stall exploded on the spot.

Chapter 226 The True Humanoid Catastrophe

Flames shot up, and the surrounding tourists were so frightened that they all retreated.

The explosion scattered oven debris and bits of food everywhere.

The girl stared in disbelief at what was happening before her eyes. Unable to dodge in time, her camera was hit by a piece of debris and fell to the ground, the lens flying far away.

The boy reacted faster than the tourists, jumping back the moment the explosion occurred.

But the kitchen knife he hadn't even touched was blown away by the explosion and got stuck on the corner of the Patriot while it was spinning around.

Patriot shook his head, dropped the kitchen knife, caught it, and looked at the mess on the stall, falling silent.

"My camera!"

"My stall!"

"my money!"

Three cries of grief rang out simultaneously.

The girl squatted on the ground, holding her camera, on the verge of tears.

Jie instinctively rushed towards the stall, but then he heard the doctor's mournful cry and suddenly realized what was happening.

The PhD student paid for the stall rental; he was just there to work.

He immediately stopped feeling sorry for her.

The doctor burst out from behind the Patriot, over the wall, and tried to salvage his messy stall.

Seeing this, the surrounding tourists quickly spoke up to remind them:

"Boss, don't be impulsive! That's an Originium oven! Be careful of Originium infection!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor lowered his head, took two deep breaths above the stall, and then looked up to report:

"Don't panic, everyone. Although the oven exploded, no Originium dust was exposed."

His action instantly caused the tourists to back away again.

Seeing that the doctor was busy dealing with the stall, Zi was also worried about being infected, so he did not go over to interfere, but instead walked towards the girl.

"Um...are you okay?"

Jie hesitated somewhat when asking the question.

He is now certain that the oven explosion is inextricably linked to the girl in front of him.

"I'm fine, but my camera... it's my only source of income right now, sob sob."

The girl held her broken camera, on the verge of tears.

From a distance, Qi Yan saw that Jie still dared to approach the girl, so he quickly stood on tiptoe and shouted a warning:

"Brother Jie, don't go over there! Quickly throw away all your electronic devices!"

He froze, swallowed hard, and immediately pulled the terminal out of his pocket and tossed it to Patriot.

His large hand instinctively caught the terminal, then he quickly placed it away from himself.

Hearing Qi Yan's reminder and Jie's reaction, the girl, forgetting her grief over her lost camera, anxiously tried to explain:

"No, don't listen to his nonsense. I won't cause an explosion. I don't even know Originium Arts!"

Unfortunately, her explanation sounded so weak and unconvincing.

Even the tourists around him looked on with disbelief.

"You're still trying to deny it! We just saw it! The oven exploded the moment you pressed the shutter button!"

"You little girl, you weren't sent by our rivals, were you? That's too much!"

"That's an Originium oven! Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Faced with the crowd's condemnation, the girl was speechless and tears welled up in her eyes.

After carefully observing the girl's expression, Jie felt that she was not lying, and at least she definitely did not intentionally cause the explosion.

His heart softened a little, and he decided not to make things difficult for the girl.

After all, with the doctor there, and the Originium oven still under warranty, they could easily seek compensation from the manufacturer.

Thinking of this, Jie sighed softly and prepared to speak up to comfort him.

As a result, combined with his fierce temperament, that sigh sounded like a death knell tolling for the girl.

"Waaah... I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, please don't kill me."

The girl burst into tears, sobbing, "I don't have any money right now, but I can give you an IOU, or I can work at your stall. Please don't kill me."

Jie's expression stiffened, and the words of comfort that were about to come out were swallowed back.

His stiff expression frightened the girl so much that she cried even louder.

Even the tourists who had been protesting around them felt a pang of sympathy and fell silent.

"Make way, everyone make way."

Qi Yan pushed through the crowd, carefully approached the stall, picked up the ingredients, and first arranged them around the girl to seal her away.

"Eureka, you stay in the circle and don't come out without my permission!" Qi Yan instructed.

"How do you know my name?"

The girl stopped crying, and her pink, watery eyes widened slightly.

"Don't worry about it."

Qi Yan left a sentence, pulled Jie behind the stall, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

The doctor and Patriot also came over, looking at Qi Yan curiously, waiting for him to explain what had happened.

Faced with the three people's eager gazes, Qi Yan coughed lightly and whispered:

"There are always things on this land that cannot be understood. We cannot fathom their nature. We just need to be wary of such things."

For example, the girl in front of us named Eureka. If using "humanoid natural disaster" to describe certain powerful beings is a metaphor, then using it on this girl is a realistic description.

She is the natural disaster itself, its agent traversing this land, the source of all calamities!

The three PhDs gasped in unison.

"What do we do now?" the doctor asked, somewhat alarmed.

He never dreamed that he would encounter such a terrifying being when he was just setting up a stall to earn some extra money.

Qi Yan's face was solemn as he said in a low voice:

"Don't panic, I'll find a safe way to bring her to the island."

The three doctors were startled.

Even someone as composed as Patriot instinctively placed his hand on Qi Yan's shoulder and advised:

"She doesn't look that old, so let's not rush things and send her to live in an old age."

The Doctor trembled even more: "Even if Kal'tsit always deducts your salary, it doesn't have to be this retaliatory."

Only Jie patted his chest, relieved, and said:

"Luckily, I'm not an operator from your island."

Qi Yan turned to look at him, put her arm around his shoulder, and smiled.

"Brother Jie, now that you're on my pirate ship, you think you can get away?"

Jie: "..."

At this moment, Jie felt that he didn't necessarily need to earn money; preserving his life was more important. After all, there was an old man back in Longmen waiting for him to take care of him in his old age.

Just as Jie was silently contemplating how to escape with the bucket, another figure squeezed in from outside the crowd.

"Wow, I heard there was a competitive eating contest here, but why is the place such a mess?"

A kind-hearted tourist nearby quickly spoke up to remind them:

"Young lady, don't go over there yet, it's very dangerous. This stall has been blown up by a competitor, and the owners are discussing how to resolve it."

"Little girl?"

The person who had just squeezed in looked somewhat surprised and pointed to himself, saying, "Are you talking about me? But I'm a boy."

"Ah this..."

The well-meaning tourist was immediately embarrassed.

The conversation here also drew the attention of Qi Yan and the others.

Qi Yan recognized the boy who had squeezed in, and his eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

The boy's short blue hair was covered by a jellyfish-shaped hat, and his face was delicate and even cuter than a girl's. He was wearing a blue semi-transparent sun-protective clothing and holding a long-handled umbrella.

Qi Yan took a deep breath, put his arm around Jie's shoulder, and sighed:

"Brother Jie, you're my lucky star! You have to come to the island, or I'll break your legs if you try to run away!"
