Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Now that you've discovered the intruder, why not give chase? What's the point of running away?"

A slap landed on the Liberian man's face, and his companion said with exasperation:

"Idiot, that blanket demon is a terrifying monster that even Qi Yan is afraid of. Are we going to chase after it and die?"

Reminded by his companion, the Liberian man suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly followed the others.

Eureka was completely unaware that he had successfully scared off a patrol team, and continued to rush around like a headless fly.

As he was running, his foot slipped and he tumbled down the stairs with a scream.

Her scream immediately drew the attention of Qi Yan on the deck.

After determining the direction, Qi Yan turned to his new boss and asked:

Are there any dangerous items on the second-to-last deck of the ship?

"Do you mean it's dangerous for you, or dangerous for us?" his new boss said obsequiously. "If it's dangerous for you, then there's absolutely no danger on this ship. We're completely convinced by you."

A slap landed on his face, the force of which sent him spinning around on the spot.

Qi Yan angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm immortal! If you can find something that can threaten my life, I'll recommend you to the King of Hell every day from the afterlife so you can go down to the underworld and become a civil servant sooner."

"I...I...thank you." His new boss stammered for a long time, almost bursting into tears on the spot.

Seeing Qi Yan glare at him, he quickly stopped crying and honestly said:

"That floor is where Originium bombs and cannons are stored. We originally planned to use the ship's naval advantage to cover Candela's city hall with long-range firepower."

"Oh no, Barbie Q is gone!"

Qi Yan took a deep breath, gave up struggling on the spot, and lay back down on his beach chair.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear the slightest sound of an explosion.

This result made him sit up again. After a moment of confusion, he suddenly slapped his forehead and realized:

"The delay must be because the explosion would injure Eureka. There's still a chance!"

Chapter 255 Calling a mouse a duck

In the dimly lit ship's warehouse, Eureka lay on the ground, her body twitching like a salted fish.

"Ouch, my elbow! Ouch, my elbow! Ouch, my herniated disc! Ouch, none of them hurt!"

Eureka struggled for a moment before finally realizing that she hadn't been injured thanks to the blanket's protection.

She quickly sat up and shook her head to look around at her surroundings.

Upon seeing the goods inside the warehouse, Eureka's petite body immediately tensed up.

Looking around, there were countless Originium bombs, and in the distance there were even rows of large Originium cannons!

"Waaaah, Sister Little Mo, save my teeth!"

Eureka used both hands and feet to climb the stairs from which she had fallen.

However, because she was too panicked, the blanket that had just protected her now became an obstacle that restricted her. After struggling for a long time, she still couldn't get up and instead fell down again.

Just as she was sobbing and covering her nose, a gasp suddenly came from behind her.

"I've found it, it's a pink Zalak!"

Eureka was horrified and quickly turned her head to look, only to find that a patrol team had spotted her not far away.

The bright light from the flashlight shone on her face, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

But the patrol team didn't dare to go forward. Their muscles were stiff, and they just kept Eureka in place with their flashlights from a distance.

After a moment of stalemate, Eureka said in a trembling voice:

"No, don't misunderstand, I'm not Zalak, I... I'm called Fiameta, and I'm a Liberi!"

"Are you kidding me? Your ears are sticking out!"

A patrol member immediately shouted.

Then this outspoken guy got kicked by his teammate.

Eureka quickly wrapped the blanket around her head, curled up into a ball, and explained dryly:

"Believe me, I'm really not Zalak, please don't arrest me."

She's so panicked that she's starting to speak without thinking.

On the other side, the patrol team members were also panicked, so panicked that they gave up thinking.

"Oh right, you're Li Boli, what's your name again, Fatty Duck?"

"That's right, she's not Zalak, she's Fat Duck. Let's not arrest the wrong person, let's go."

"I know a spare staircase. Let's go around and go that way."

A group of patrol members started talking to themselves and then turned to flee the scene.

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs.

Qi Yan's voice, which sounded like a half-smile, followed closely behind:

"I told you to arrest Eureka, and here you are playing tricks on me."

Do you still want your diploma?!

The patrol team members were instantly paralyzed, frozen in place, not daring to move.

They didn't know what a graduation certificate was, but they knew they should behave themselves at this point.

Otherwise, one might graduate early and go to meet the King of Hell.

Upon seeing Qi Yan, Eureka disregarded the fact that the two were on opposing sides and burst into tears:

"Qi Yan, please save me! This place is terrifying, it's full of Originium bombs!"

"I know you're scared, but don't be scared yet, let me be scared first," Qi Yan said with a wry smile.

He waved his hand, not bothering the patrol team: "You all better run, run as far as you can, and whatever you do, don't stay on the ship, people are really going to die this time."

The patrol team members experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and surprisingly, they felt a surge of gratitude towards Qi Yan. They bowed to him repeatedly before scrambling up the stairs.

After those people left, Qi Yan cautiously approached Eureka.

At the same time, he also reminded her, "Don't move around. I'm slowly approaching you now."

"I won't move."

Eureka behaved more obediently than ever before.

Qi Yan walked step by step toward Eureka, until he reached her side. Seeing that the Originium Bomb showed no signs of exploding, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He then reached out and picked up Eureka, shaking her with a look of disgust, instantly splashing water all over the floor.

"This blanket is so absorbent, why are you still covering yourself with it? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Eureka sniffed and said with a pitiful expression:

"It was Sister Xiao Mo who insisted that I wear it; I've wanted to throw it away for a long time."

As she spoke, she shook off the blanket, allowing herself to reappear completely on this earth.

Qi Yan felt a sudden pang of anxiety.

He shook his head vigorously to shake the strange feeling out of his mind, and quickly left the place of trouble with Eureka in his arms.

Neither of the two who fled the scene noticed that the blanket Eureka had left behind was slowly seeping water.

The seawater gathered on the floor, forming a stream that slowly flowed towards the Originium bomb not far away.

On the edge of the city, the doctor and his companions strolled leisurely.

The rebels surrounded them in circles, but no one dared to step forward.

Because a burly figure was walking at the very front of the doctor and his group.

Patriots faced thousands of people head-on, but their steps never faltered.

His bloodshot eyes swept over the rebel ranks, a hint of disappointment in them:

What are you afraid of?

You are soldiers, why did you retreat when facing the enemy?

The rebels looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward and speak.

The old man in front of them was too terrifying in his aura; he had suppressed them all by himself.

"Disorganized, ineffective, your attack is chaotic and disorderly." Patriot's voice was slow, but his words were incredibly sharp. "I thought I was going to see a war, but you are like a bunch of jokes."

Some of the rebels looked angry in response to the patriots' mockery.

In the end, they gritted their teeth, chose to raise their weapons and charge forward, marching in a mighty force towards the Patriots.

Seeing them take action, the patriots were actually somewhat relieved.

But the next moment, an immense fighting spirit erupted from Patriot.

He transformed from a retired old man back into the legend on the battlefield.

"Sir, our target is the city hall. After all, we need to reach a cooperation agreement with the government, which is the first prerequisite for us to take action."

The doctor slowly reminded him from behind.

Patriot nodded and stepped forward to meet the group of rebels.

Behind him, Fiameta, Ernesto, and others did not hesitate, and even when facing a rebel army hundreds of times their size, they still pressed forward firmly.

The two teams clashed.

From a distance, even with the team of contestants recruited by Lin Yuxia, the doctor's side still appeared very small.

But their momentum was in no way weak. Even the contestants were infected by the patriots' spirit and charged forward with shouts.

Patriot waved his hand, sending several rebels flying high into the air before crashing back into their ranks, further disrupting the rebel formation.

"Stand according to my instructions and defend against the enemy!"

Patriot's voice reached his teammates' ears.

The group immediately began to move into position, forming a shuttle-shaped formation, with Patriot's tall figure at the head, while Ernesto and Rafiella each led a group to protect the two sides.

Fiameta and Chen, armed with muskets and protected by others, unleashed their full firepower.

Lin Yuxia and Shuiyue quietly stayed by the doctor's side.

After all, Shuiyue's identity is too special. She can be said to be the most sensitive one in the team besides Eureka. The Doctor dares not gamble that Shuiyue might suddenly get carried away in the middle of the fight and start eating people.

Lin Yuxia, acting as the doctor's bodyguard, surveyed the situation for a moment before frowning and saying:

"Although the other side is just a rabble and can't do anything to us for the time being, they still outnumber us and our strength will eventually be exhausted. It's not wise to force a breakthrough like this."

I suspect this was intentionally orchestrated by Pan Qiao on the ship; they've already set their sights on us.

Chapter 256 Crushing Game

Despite Lin Yuxia's reminder, the doctor remained calm and composed.

He stood in the center of the chaos, calmly raising one finger:

"The situation has completely entered a stable development phase and will not continue to develop. The rest depends on how I handle it."

If we simply rush to the city hall, explain the situation to Candela, and form an alliance, we can indeed easily quell this rebellion.

In front of me and the old man, Pan Qiao was like a toddler just learning to speak.

Lin Yuxia understood the meaning behind the doctor's words, and her brows furrowed even more.

"But you just said our goal is the city hall."

“These two things are not contradictory,” the doctor said calmly. “The city hall is there; it won’t run away, while we who are moving forward are alive and can move at our own pace.”

"Then the problem goes back to square one: if we expend too much time, the rebels will wear us down!"

Lin Yuxia was getting a little frantic.

She discovered that once the Doctor entered a serious state, he began to subtly develop in the direction of Kal'tsit, becoming an enigmatic riddle-maker.
