Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

To put it bluntly, the military and police on the periphery were like abandoned pawns.

"Keep moving forward; looking back and forth won't help you at all."

Qi Yan looked up at the sky.

Thick clouds surged and gradually pressed down on the earth.

Some of the towering buildings have tops that even connect with the clouds.

The team continued forward, encountering more and more Reunion squads, and eventually even began to be attacked by ranged units.

Students began to be injured or killed, and more and more people were left forever in this chaotic city.

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, then left the group with Qi Yan's tacit approval, her figure disappearing into a roadside building.

The crossbow bolts that were constantly flying in from all directions began to decrease.

Zoya's father immediately noticed this situation, his spirits lifted, and he shouted:

"The military and police are just ahead. Once we get past this last stretch, we'll win!"

No one knows whether this statement is true or false.

No one had the mind to consider whether the statement was true or false.

Led by Zoya's father, a group of students roared and ran frantically through the streets.

From time to time, Reunion squads received intelligence and converged in their direction from a distance.

The students' speed decreased again, and the rate of casualties suddenly increased.

Just as they were about to succumb to despair, Sonia's voice rang out:

"It's the military and police! I see them!"

Her shout was like a heavy hammer blow, striking hard into the hearts of the surviving students.

At the edge of the horizon, there were large numbers of Reunion Movement members. Their gray and white uniforms seemed to blend together in the chaos, forming a white wave that surged forward.

Then it crashed onto the black reef, shattering into pieces.

The military and police forces, dressed in black uniforms, stood firm in front of the Reunification Movement, remaining unmoved no matter how many times the enemy charged forward.

The students' eyes shone with intense light.

Hope is at hand.

Even though there were countless integration movements in between, no one chose to back down.

A roar symbolizing survival erupted from the rear of the Reunion Movement, and the students, like small fish, struggled against the tide.

Qi Lin's figure returned to Qi Yan's side.

She gazed at the students' retreating figures and reminded them:

"They're doomed."

"Haha, I know."

Qi Yan chuckled softly and slowly raised his hand:

"Let's consider it a reward for the brave."

Chapter 028 Rhode Island

White waves crashed against black reefs.

A colorful little fish was struggling in the waves.

Until a white-haired boy slowly reached out and scooped the small fish out of the water.

"What it is?!"

"Watch out! Run! Get away from that red fog!"

"My body... oh... why..."

Countless Reunion Movement members fell, their faces contorted in pain, their hands flailing unconsciously as they tried to disperse the red mist of blood that enveloped them.

Unfortunately, their fate was sealed the moment they came into contact with the blood mist.

Zoya's father stared blankly as he witnessed the red mist slowly rising from their bodies, enveloping the members of the Reunion Movement.

A red passageway connects them remotely with the military and police forces.

Beneath your feet lie the gruesome dead; at the end lies the hope of survival.

Zoya's father turned to look at Qi Yan, who gestured for him to enter.

Zoya's father suddenly understood why this boy had dared to say he could protect them.

He turned around and led the surviving students onto the path strewn with corpses.

The soldiers and police officers who were holding the line felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the red mist in front of them.

Until Zoya's father appeared in their sight with a group of students.

"It was the third squad. They not only brought back important intelligence, but they also brought back students from Peterheim High School."

"Let them through, protect the students!"

As the students were escorted into the military and police ranks, they suddenly broke down emotionally.

Many people, upon seeing the familiar military and police uniforms around them, knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

The pent-up emotions, the threat of death, and the despair in my heart finally found an outlet, and I let them run rampant.

Zoya's father was finally able to return to his daughter's side. He held Zoya's small hand tightly, and even this tough man couldn't help but tear up.

Qi Yan walked at the very back, stepping into the military and police camp area. He turned around and waved away the blood mist, letting it drift into the sky.

Upon witnessing this scene, military and police personnel instinctively picked up their weapons.

Qi Yan's actions confirmed his identity.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a good person," Qi Yan said with a smile, "at least for now."

The military and police remained vigilant, but none of them chose to take action.

Qi Yan shrugged, his gaze passing over the soldiers and police, landing on a group of soldiers and police confronting each other not far away.

The familiar Rhodes Island uniform, the familiar long gray ears, and that hooded man who looked suspicious no matter how you looked at him.

"Tsk, I'm a bit short."

Qi Yan stroked his chin and commented on the hooded man.

Qi Lin looked over in confusion.

"It's alright, those are Rhodes Island people, let's go over and have a chat."

Qi Yan waved his hand, ignoring the soldiers and police, and walked towards the direction where Amiya and the others were.

Amiya and the others were all slightly injured, indicating that they had fought a fierce battle to get here.

However, the atmosphere between them and the military and police was not very harmonious.

The military and police kept their eyes fixed on the Originium clusters on Amiya and the others, whose symptoms indicated that they were infected.

Qi Yan's approach also aroused the vigilance of the military and police.

This attitude even surpasses that towards Amiya and others.

After all, they had just witnessed Qi Yan's methods. After Qi Yan's intervention, the momentum of the crazy Reunion Movement's offensive was even weakened considerably.

Qi Yan seemed not to see the military police, and walked up to Amiya and the others with what he thought was the friendliest smile.

Before Qi Yan could speak, Doberman Pinin, his face wary, stepped in front of him:

"What can I do for you?"

Qi Yan carefully examined the Doberman in front of him for a few moments, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Although Doberman's oversized combat trousers looked somewhat out of place on this land filled with black stockings, they still couldn't hide her long, slender legs.

Especially her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand, is simply a deadly weapon.

The Doberman, though wary, couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.

"Could you please stop looking down at me?"

Qi Yan quickly coughed lightly, calmly raised his head, and said:

"Nice to meet you. My name is Qi Yan, and this lady next to me is my sister, Qi Lin."

Qi Lin nodded slightly to the side, as if to say hello.

Doberman hesitated for a moment, sensing no malice from Qi Yan, and replied:

"I'm Dobermann, an instructor at Rhodes Island... What can I do for you?"

"Look at what you're saying. Can't I just chat with you for no reason?" Qi Yan clapped his hands, looking completely innocent. "Do I look like the kind of person who has ulterior motives, wants to infiltrate Rhodes Island to steal secrets, and then steal all the pretty girls on your island?"

Doberman was momentarily bewildered.

This was the first time she, with her rather upright personality, had encountered someone like Qi Yan.

"Instructor Dobermann, let me do it."

Amiya, a small figure, walked to Dobermann's side and tried to take over the conversation: "Hello, Mr. Qi Yan, my name is Amiya, and I am currently the representative of Rhodes Island."

"Yes, I know you."

Qi Yan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Amiya's twitching rabbit ears.

Amiya couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her ears, and suggested:

"Mr. Qi Yan, could you please look down at me?"

Qi Yan was very obedient and lowered his gaze.

A cute little skirt paired with black stockings, brilliant!

Before Qi Yan could even get a good look, a sharp pain shot through his calf.

It wasn't that Amiya attacked out of anger, but rather that Qi Lin couldn't stand it anymore and kicked out.

Ignoring Qi Yan's stomping and jumping up and down, Qi Lin took over the conversation and said:

"I've heard that Rhodes Island is a company with strong medical capabilities, willing to accept infected individuals, and can offset part of the treatment costs with wages, so I want to join your company in exchange for the opportunity to treat my Oripathy."

"Ah, well, okay... but now is not the time to discuss this. Let's find a way to leave this city first."

Amiya tried to offer suggestions.

Qi Lin nodded: "Of course, as a stepping stone to joining the company, he will be responsible for ensuring your safe evacuation."

Qi Lin pointed at Qi Yan and decisively arranged for him to leave.

“No…no need, that’s too dangerous.” Amiya waved her hands repeatedly. “Joining Rhodes Island isn’t that difficult; you just need to pass the normal onboarding exam.”

"...I only have a junior high school education."

After a brief internal struggle, Qi Lin quietly raised her educational background.

Amiya waved her hands repeatedly: "Except for certain specific positions, we don't require academic qualifications."

The Doberman beside him looked somewhat disheveled.

Why did a perfectly good escape suddenly turn into a job fair?

Amiya, is this how you communicate with people?

The HR department will be very embarrassed if you act like this.

Seeing that Amiya and Zillyn were about to start discussing the details of their onboarding, Doberman quickly interrupted them:

"Let's put the onboarding process aside for now; we still need to get to the rendezvous point... With Qi Yan joining us, we can definitely provide a lot of security."

The power of the blood mist that Qi Yan had just released left a deep impression on Dobermann.

This was the first time she had ever witnessed Originium Arts, which combined lethality and wide-range attack.

Moreover, the fact that the students were unharmed despite being shrouded in blood mist proves that Qi Yan's control abilities are also extremely high.

This gave Dobermann boundless courage.
