Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Uh...yes, you're right."

Logos' smile was somewhat strange: "As the voice of the Queen, Captain Bai must be quite powerful and can protect me from man-made disasters."

Each with their own thoughts, the two walked up to each other, shook hands, and reached a 'consensus'.

Afterwards, the White Queen said she needed to give some instructions and asked Logos to return to her car and wait.

This was exactly what Logos had in mind. He quickly returned to his car alone, took out his terminal, and relayed the situation.

In Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit placed the compiled list on the table.

That was the team she was preparing to send to Iberia to bail out the doctor and others.

Although Warfarin insisted on finding Qi Yan first and then sending him to Iberia to reason with him, Kal'tsit rationally rejected this suggestion.

This land is already chaotic enough, ravaged by natural disasters and riddled with hidden dangers. There's no need to add Qi Yan's man-made catastrophe to the mix.

Especially for Iberia, this unfortunate country, the current situation can only be described as miserable.

Just as Kal'tsit was about to continue with other matters, Kroos burst open the office door and collapsed to the ground.

Kelsey: “…”

She picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and said softly:

"Panic is not the answer..."

"Qi Yan beat up one of the twin queens!"

Kroos got up and interrupted Kal'tsit with a loud voice.

Kal'tsit choked abruptly, skillfully raising her hand to cover her mouth to prevent coffee from staining her clothes, while using her other hand to put down the coffee cup and pull out a tissue to wipe it clean.

The entire set of movements was so fluid and natural that it almost became a reflex.

Kroos, clutching her forehead, handed the terminal to Kal'tsit:

"It's a message from Logos, it's definitely true, and the Gemini Queens are going to Wolumonde!"

If these two were to run into each other in Wolumond, it would definitely be like enemies meeting with intense hatred!

Kal'tsit glanced at the text on the terminal, then quickly looked away to avoid her blood pressure going out of control.

Kroos was so anxious that she spun around twice on the spot, just like Warfarin, gesturing wildly as she said:

"What do we do now? What if the people of Letania come knocking on our door in a few days, saying they're going to declare war on Rhodes Island, and then they come with their army and wipe us out?"

"Calm down, Kroos."

Kal'tsit was a woman who had seen a lot, and aside from her initial loss of composure, she didn't react excessively.

After a moment of calm reflection, she analyzed, "Although Qi Yan acts eccentrically, he is not someone who doesn't know what's important. He wouldn't leave us with such a big mess."

Kroos finally calmed down a bit after hearing this.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The logistics officer who was in charge of external communications appeared outside the door. He paused for a moment when he saw the door that had been kicked open, but then he rushed in without paying attention to the details.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, Kroos is here too. The diplomatic corps just received a communication from the official Voice of the Queen of Letania, saying it's related to Qi Yan."

The logistics operator held up Rhodes Island's official external communication terminal and spoke words that even she found somewhat familiar.

Inside the room, Kal'tsit and Kroos exchanged a glance and remained silent.

But since they've already come knocking on our door, there's no point in running away anymore.

Kal'tsit took the terminal and reconnected the temporarily interrupted communication:

"Hello, this is Rhodes Island. I am Kal'tsit, the person in charge of this call."

"Lady Kal'tsit, hello. This is Murphy, the voice of Queen Letania."

A man's voice came from the terminal: "I am leading a team to Rhodes Island. Perhaps the two factions we represent have never had any contact before, but I believe that we are about to usher in a historic turning point. I look forward to our meeting."

"Is it about Qi Yan?" Kal'tsit asked.

Murphy's tone on the other end of the terminal clearly carried a hint of surprise:

"It seems that Ms. Kal'tsit is already aware of the current situation, so I won't say anything more polite. Our team is expected to arrive at Rhodes Island in about a month."

"...I understand, I will be prepared."

Kal'tsit took a deep breath and hung up the call.

She realized that she had underestimated Qi Yan's ability to cause trouble; Letania was already preparing to send a large army to invade!

She had no intention of running away; with Rhodes Island's methods alone, it would be impossible to escape the pursuit of the Letanian authorities.

This is a problem that must be faced head-on.

"Kal'tsit, what do we do now?"

Kroos was so anxious she kept jumping up and down.

"Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to resort to unconventional methods."

Kal'tsit picked up the list of people who had just been drafted to go to Iberia from the table and threw it into the trash can.

"Have Amiya take Bozokasti, Helag... and Yera to Iberia to bring the Doctor back. We urgently need the Doctor to take charge of the situation."

In addition, notify all elite operators remaining on the ship to take protective measures to prevent infiltration by Letanian scouts, and deploy Rosemary if necessary.

Finally, try contacting W and Logos, explain the current situation, and ask them to bring Qi Yan back to me as quickly as possible!

On the other side, Murphy, whose communication had been cut off, was somewhat confused.

He scratched his head and started chatting with Czerny beside him:

"My older brother said that lady named Kal'tsit really likes to tell riddles. How was my riddle just now? Pretty sophisticated, right?"

Czerny frowned, puzzled:

"But won't your conversations be so vague and lead to misunderstandings?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Murphy said confidently, "My older brother said that Ms. Kal'tsit is the most senior riddle master on this land, so there's absolutely no problem with her saying that!"

Chapter 326 The supporting characters are in place, but the two main characters haven't arrived yet.

Wolumond is a mobile town located in the Winterling Mountains in the north of Letania.

This town is known as the "eighth moon" of the Winterling Mountains in Letania, and together with seven other towns, it forms a vibrant commercial hub in northern Letania.

Of course, no matter how glorious it was, it was still just an ordinary mobile town, far from being comparable to any regular mobile city-state.

W opened the car door, jumped down, and looked around at the classical architecture characteristic of Letania.

"One of the leaders of the Reunion Movement, that must be you, Mudrock."

W strolled leisurely toward a tavern not far away, muttering to himself as he analyzed the situation: "You sensed something was wrong with the Reunion Movement before they even went to Chernobog, and you managed to break away in time. It seems you really are a smart guy."

Unfortunately, once you're part of the Reunion Movement, you'll be part of it for life. You've already been targeted by some scoundrel.

I took out my terminal and checked the time with W. There were only a few days left before Logos was expected to arrive.

She wasn't going to wait for Logos to arrive before taking any action.

As I pushed open the door to the tavern, a wave of lively noise immediately washed over me.

W curled her lips into a smile. As a mercenary, she loved this chaotic atmosphere.

Because of the chaos, all sorts of messy information will leak out without you even realizing it.

"Little girl, welcome to the best tavern on Twelfth Sound Street. Would you like a drink?"

The tavern owner stood behind the counter and greeted everyone warmly.

On his wrist, a black Originium crystal cluster was extremely conspicuous, but the tavern owner did not seem to care much.

Because Twelve Sounds Street is the largest cluster of infected people in Wolumonmold.

Here, infected people are the majority, while non-infected people are the exception.

"Give me a glass of Originium Bug craft beer."

W slapped the money for the drinks on the counter, and after the owner brought out a large glass of wine, he picked it up and walked towards the area with the most people.

Behind them, the boss couldn't resist making a loud, sarcastic remark:

"Young lady, don't get drunk. It's dangerous to be out alone."

"If I get drunk, it won't just be one person in danger."

W smiled slyly and disappeared into the crowd.

Above Wolumond, the sun gradually moved westward until it finally disappeared behind the ridge of the distant Winterling Mountains.

As soon as some customers left the tavern, new customers immediately flooded in, constantly filling the empty spaces.

W tossed the umpteenth empty wine glass onto the counter and let out a burp, completely lacking any decorum.

Her expression clearly showed some displeasure as she strode out of the tavern.

From behind came the tavern owner's concerned inquiries, trying to determine if W was drunk.

W ignored the owner completely, left the tavern, and strolled leisurely down the street under the dim streetlights.

"What the hell? My stomach is bloated from drinking so much, and I haven't heard a single word about the Reunion Movement."

W scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "We don't even have any news about the dog. How could these two get lost?"

"Little girl, I just heard someone say they were lost, right?"

A nonchalant voice came from behind W: "Do you want your brothers to help you find your way? We can take you home."

A smile gradually crept onto W's face. She turned her head and saw several shady-looking Caprini men approaching her under the dim streetlights.

"Hey guys, have you heard the news that the Reunion Movement has been spotted near Wolumonde?" W asked with a smile.

"We've never heard of integration movement, but we have a better movement here."

The men had lewd smiles on their faces, and one of them even pulled up his crotch in front of W.

"I have some great treasures here too." W's smile gradually turned wicked.

In the dim light, she reached out and touched her little skirt.

The men's eyes widened instantly, their pupils practically bulging out of their sockets.

Then, they saw W wipe his hand, and suddenly a round thing appeared in his palm.

"What it is?"

The group, still unaware of what was happening, continued forward, trying to make out the object in W's hand.

"I'll count to three, and you still have a chance."

W bent his finger, pulled a metal ring off the object in his hand, and then threw it at the group of people.

The group stared intently, then their hearts stopped.

"WC! Originium bomb!"

W's charming laughter echoed, skipping over the first two and jumping straight to three.

Immediately afterwards, all sounds on the street were drowned out by the roar of the explosion.

The men were tossed about in the flames of the explosion, tracing graceful curves, before scattering and falling like puppets without their strings.

As the flames from the Originium bomb dissipated, W's figure had already vanished.

When the military police arrived to investigate, they found no clues at the scene except for traces of an explosion and several men who had died tragically.

"The mountain road is too difficult to walk on. Why don't you carry me on your back, Arturo?"

Qi Yan kicked away the Originium Bug that was crawling towards his feet, complaining with a displeased expression.

Beside him, Arturo looked helpless, even somewhat tired.

It wasn't because of the journey, but simply because I've been harassed by Qi Yan so much these past few days that it's become unbearable.

"I think there's a big problem with our approach."

Arturo didn't answer Qi Yan, but instead changed the subject: "Even if you drive recklessly and overturn the car, causing us to lose our means of transportation, you shouldn't have gone into the mountains."
