Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"If you dare to rub against me again, I'll rip your ear off and never let you go!" Qi Lin said through gritted teeth.

Hearing that familiar, murderous tone, Qi Yan was startled and quickly jumped away.

My younger sister doesn't care about anything else; if you provoke her, she'll really hit you!

At this moment, the blonde horse girl arrived in front of Amiya, noticed everyone's gaze, and looked at Qi Yan curiously.

Amiya quickly spoke up to remind her:

"Lingguang, please don't speak loudly. Mr. Qi Yan is in a sensitive state right now."

Nearl was clearly a little confused, but she still chose to believe Amiya unconditionally.

Qi Yan rubbed his ears, walked up to Amiya and Nearl, and felt he needed to explain.

"I won't mind if you speak normally. After all, you are all cute girls with soft voices and gentle bodies. Although I'm not a pervert, I will appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. It's definitely not because I'm a pervert, understand?"

Qi Yan looked very serious, almost as if he were about to raise three fingers to swear an oath to the heavens.

Amiya's expression was somewhat strange; for a moment, she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

Lin Guang's expression also turned serious, and he stood ramrod straight, firmly stating:

“I will not question your character without cause, I swear in the name of Radiant Knight Margaret Nearl.”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became even more strange.

Qi Yan's lips twitched slightly, but he finally patted Lin Guang's shoulder encouragingly, making a loud thud on her shoulder armor.

"Well done, you truly deserve it," Qi Yan said admiringly.

As expected of Rhodes Island's renowned "Iron Lady," she's even tougher than the armor she's wearing.

Lin Guang was completely unaware of anything amiss, and a humble expression appeared on his face:

"I wouldn't dare. I'm just an ordinary Rhodes Island operator."

Amiya, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:

"Although the danger has temporarily passed, we haven't escaped Chernobog yet. Let's hurry on our way."

"good idea!"

Qi Yan quickly expressed his agreement.

If he continued talking to this straight-laced female racer, he'd probably get so angry he'd smash his head against Nearl's breastplate and die.

Amiya turned to look at ACE and asked:

"Brother ACE, do you have a command route?"

ACE nodded and silently pointed in one direction.

Amiya's blue eyes shone with great confusion: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Despite Amiya's persistent questioning, ACE remained tight-lipped, waving his hand to indicate that it was unimportant, and continued to point in the direction of escape, urging Amiya to act.

Amiya hesitated for a moment, then led her team to begin their operation.

While walking, ACE suddenly felt someone bump his waist.

He turned his head and found Qi Yan looking at him with a smile.

ACE's scalp tingled slightly.

He knew he was a rough and tough guy, so he didn't dare say a word, and even now, he's still being confronted.

"Don't panic, Brother ACE. I was just teasing Amiya and the others," Qi Yan said with a smile. "Except for Mephisto, who really disgusts me physically, the others' normal speech doesn't affect me."

ACE finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked:

"Is this a side effect of your Originium Arts?"

Qi Yan gave a wry smile: "Let's just say that's how it works. As my physique continues to improve, my five senses are also getting stronger."

Right now, my ears are filled with a jumble of all sorts of sounds, and to talk to you, I have to carefully sift through all of them to find your individual words.

ACE nodded knowingly, finally understanding Qi Yan's current predicament.

After a moment's hesitation, ACE looked up at the approaching clouds and said with concern:

"So if we fail to evacuate in time and a natural disaster occurs, it will be a calamity for you."

Qi Yan smiled and gently shook his head, saying:

"I'm prepared that if a natural disaster happens, I'll immediately make myself deaf. That's what it means if I commit suicide quickly enough, no one can kill me!"

ACE's expression froze instantly.

Is this a solution that a human could come up with?

“I think… well, it’s better not to do that,” ACE tried to persuade.

Qi Yan twitched his ears, about to speak, when an unprecedented thunderclap suddenly exploded overhead.

The thunder seemed to be the beginning, followed by a continuous rumble that seemed endless, one booming after another.

Under the bombardment of thunder, Qi Yan's body trembled as if it had entered vibration mode.

ACE suddenly looked up, his face turning extremely ugly.

In their vision, the sky turned blood red and fell towards the earth. Boiling dark clouds rolled in flames, the earth fell silent, and the huge Originium bowed its head and fell into the scorching shadow of death.

"It's a natural disaster, protect yourselves!"

ACE's roar was drowned out by the chaos.

Chapter 033 Don’t die

The earth trembled, towering buildings collapsed with a roar, and countless massive Originium crystals poured down from the sky.

The scorching air, accompanied by each breath, filled my mouth, nose, and chest, as if it were burning me alive.

ACE roared repeatedly, but to little avail; his voice seemed particularly small amidst the natural disaster.

The Rhodes Island team huddled together, trying their best to surround the students in the center.

People were knocked down by debris from a collapsing building.

An explosion occurred by the roadside, the cause of which is unknown. The flames surged and engulfed the people nearby.

Whether they are from the Reunion Movement or Rhodes Island.

Dobermann had already abandoned her whip; in this situation, she had no time to wield that complex weapon. She gritted her teeth and dragged an injured caster operator into the center of the group.

ACE did his best to stand in front of Qi Yan, preventing the damage caused by the natural disaster from affecting Qi Yan.

Qi Lin looked at Qi Yan kneeling on the ground, his body trembling, gritted her teeth, and prepared to cover his ears.

"Do not touch me!"

Qi Yan's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

There was a faint trace of blood flowing from his ear.

A scream came from not far away.

Over there, a Rhodes Island medic lay on the ground. During the retreat, the road suddenly collapsed, and one of her legs sank into it.

Qi Yan looked at his younger sister and gritted his teeth, saying:

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, but stubbornly stayed by his side, choosing to disobey for the first time.

Qi Yan was unsure whether to be angry or laugh. He shook his head and stood up from the ground.

The sudden arrival of the natural disaster caught him somewhat off guard, but it wasn't enough to defeat him.

The chaos around them continued unabated, seemingly without end.

A tall building disintegrated as the earth trembled, its debris crashing into the street. One wall panel detached completely, whistling through the air as it struck the trapped medical operator.

The shadows enveloped her, and despair welled up inside her.

Everyone watched this scene unfold, a profound sense of helplessness rising within them; they were powerless to offer any assistance.

To everyone's surprise, at this critical moment, a staggering hooded man rushed forward without regard for anything else.

Amiya's exclamation rang out.

But the doctor seemed completely oblivious, rushing headlong toward the medical operator, even falling down along the way, he immediately got up on his hands and feet.

He was brave, but it was all in vain.

With his unsteady gait, he simply couldn't have arrived before the wall panel fell.

The doctor's breathing became increasingly rapid, his eyes fixed on the medical operator, and suddenly he roared:

"do not die!"

The wall panels buried the medical operatives' figures, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The wall panel crashed to the ground, as if it had struck the doctor's heart, shattering his last bit of strength.

The doctor collapsed to his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Old buddy, protect your operator. Remember how you feel right now, and don't let yourself experience it a second time."

Qi Yan's voice came from beside the Doctor. Before the Doctor could react, the still-shaken medical operator was shoved into his arms.

The doctor was overjoyed, his trembling hands tightly pulling the medical operator into his arms, and he looked up at Qi Yan.

Under a blood-red sky, a white-haired boy smiled faintly, his golden pupils as warm as the morning sun.

Amiya's panicked figure ran towards them, with Nearl protecting her from the side, shield in hand.

The Doctor pushed the medical operator into Amiya's arms and pleaded in a somewhat awkward tone:

"Save...her."

"give it to me."

Nearl took the medical operator's arm and, with a faint light emanating from her hand, wrapped the operator's injured leg.

Upon seeing this, the doctor gasped for breath, like a drowning person who had just been rescued.

Qi Yan patted him on the shoulder and said to Amiya:

"Keep moving forward. I will take charge of protecting everyone from now on."

Amiya looked at Qi Yan with some concern, keenly noticing that Qi Yan's body was still trembling uncontrollably.

The next moment, Qi Yan's figure suddenly disappeared from her sight.

Then he kicked away a lamppost that was leaning towards the Rhodes Island team.

Crimson blood seeped from Qi Yan's wrist, forming thin lines of blood in the air that drifted around the Rhodes Island team.

Any object that gets close is severed by the bloodline.

The fine blood vessels, as thin as a hair, have become the lifeline that fills everyone's heart with a sense of security.

Amiya helped the Doctor back into the group, exchanged a glance with ACE and Dobermann, and her expression gradually hardened:

"Everyone, keep moving forward!"

On the top of a building in Chernobog, several figures stood at the edge, silently gazing in the direction of the Rhodes Island team.

The raging natural disasters around them seemed to have no effect on them.

Any object that gets close to this building melts and evaporates as quickly as a snowflake thrown into a furnace.

"Rhode Island."

A deep female voice echoed from the top of the building.

Patriot's tall figure stood still, gazing at the woman who had spoken before him.

She had a pair of black horns on her head, but unlike the ferocious or bizarre horns of the Sarkaz, they were a pair of majestic dragon horns.

The patriot asked in a questioning tone:

“Talulah, I can go and save those two children, or I can wait until Rhodes Island leaves and then release them on its own and let them return.”

The woman named Talulah slowly turned around, her gray eyes fixed on the Patriot.
