Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Talulah's gray eyes were indifferent, and she made no move, while an unprecedented heat wave erupted from her body.

The ground is melting.

All the attacks vaporized before they even got close, and then a wave of heat surged forth, distorting the air as it crashed towards the Rhodes Island team.

Faced with this scene that resembled another natural disaster, the Rhodes Island operators felt utterly powerless.

They exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and tried their best to shield the students behind them, attempting to withstand the heatwave with their own flesh and blood.

Chapter 035 The Immortal Black Serpent

Amiya's eyes widened slightly, her blue pupils filled with determination.

Almost without hesitation, she raised her palm, her fingers spread wide, and black magical light danced from her fingertips.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

A gentle hand suddenly grasped her small hand.

The next moment, the familiar bloodline appeared in Amiya's sight.

The blood lines grew longer and longer, quickly weaving into a semi-transparent crimson barrier that firmly protected the Rhodes Island team.

The heat wave surged in, and the crimson barrier evaporated continuously.

But immediately more blood seeped from Qi Yan's wrist, replenishing the barrier.

Amiya turned her head with some surprise, about to speak, but when she saw Qi Yan's attire, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.

ACE also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look, and then froze in surprise.

"Mr. Qi Yan, what's going on...?"

ACE pointed at Qi Yan's Reunion Movement uniform, not understanding what had happened.

Qi Yan grinned and tugged at the corner of his clothes, saying smugly:

"Isn't it beautiful? My captain personally showed me how to get it yesterday."

Amiya said with some doubt:

"You joined the Reunion Movement before... yesterday?"

"Of course, Talulah is so strong, I definitely need to prepare for both possibilities. If I can't beat her, I'll just join her."

Qi Yan walked past the crowd with a grin, came to the blood-red barrier, and looked at Talulah from afar.

Talulah frowned, equally puzzled.

Seemingly sensing her confusion, Qi Yan's smile grew even brighter:

"Next, it's time for internal strife within our Reunion Movement. I'll first collect some interest on the bad things you've done over the past six months for those innocent infected people."

Talulah's grey eyes trembled slightly: "How did you know?"

"That's not important." Qi Yan waved his hand to remove the barrier, his smile unchanged, but his tone turned slightly cold. "Kosichek, you tried to use Talulah's hand to kill her cherished companion, and that disgusts me."

Talulah fell silent.

Qi Yan turned around, his gaze sweeping over Qi Lin, over Lyudmila and Mephisto, over Amiya, and finally landing on ACE.

“I will stop him. This is a matter for Reunion, and it has nothing to do with Rhodes Island. You can leave now.”

The expressions of the people whose gazes swept over Qi Yan varied.

Finally, ACE looked deeply at Qi Yan and said:

"We'll be waiting for you at the southern exit of Chernobog."

ACE decisively turned around and led the Rhodes Island team to leave.

Amiya seemed hesitant, looking at Qi Yan with concern.

Qi Yan responded with a bright smile:

"Don't worry, although I can't beat this old black snake right now, I can definitely protect myself."

Amiya took a deep breath, nodded, and followed in ACE's footsteps.

As she turned around, she heard Qi Yan's voice again:

"Little sister, please help me protect this little rabbit, and the others too."

"understood."

Qi Lin's voice was flat.

The Rhodes Island team has left.

Talulah wanted to stop them because these people had heard things they shouldn't have.

In particular, Lyudmila and Mephistopheles in the team.

But her intuition told her that the boy standing between her and Rhodes Island was dangerous.

Qi Yan's smile gradually became exaggerated, but his eyes remained cold.

Talulah held a longsword, and a surge of heat emanated from her body.

Talulah parted her lips slightly, about to speak, when Qi Yan's figure flashed before her eyes in the next second.

The fist slammed down.

Talulah held her longsword across her chest, attempting to block the punch.

But the moment the sword made contact with her fist, her expression changed drastically.

The sturdy sword bent visibly under Qi Yan's fist, and the unparalleled force traveled through the sword, along her arm, and slammed into her body.

My vision blurred, and a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time, called pain, surged through my body.

When Talulah regained her sight, she found herself lying in ruins, hundreds of meters away from where she had just been standing.

Countless buildings along the way collapsed in the billowing dust.

"You deserve to die!"

A surge of violent rage welled up within Talulah, and terrifying heat erupted with her roar.

Everything around her turned into molten lava, and as she swung her longsword, a sea of ​​fire raged through the city like a long dragon.

Smoke and dust evaporated, stones melted, and steel turned into water.

Everything between Talulah and Qi Yan was annihilated, leaving only the long dragon of fire.

"It's you that damn it!"

Qi Yan didn't dodge or give way, but charged straight at the long dragon.

The scorching heat set his uniform ablaze, quickly charring his skin, only to have it immediately replaced by new skin.

The flames shattered into countless sparks under Qi Yan's fierce impact.

The two figures, one wolf and one dragon, collided once again.

After a brief contact, they both flew backwards.

Qi Yan crashed heavily into a melted breakfast shop, coughing up blood.

His body was still engulfed in flames, which ignited everything around him.

Beyond the flames, Talulah's limping figure appeared, sneering:

"If this is all the strength you have, you are not enough to survive in my hands."

Perhaps due to the light of the flames, Talulah's silver-gray hair was gradually turning dark red.

The temperature around her kept rising, seemingly without end.

Qi Yan didn't reply. He raised his hand, wiped the blood he coughed up onto his hand, and shook it off forcefully.

Blood transformed into a red flying blade, slicing past Talulah's ear and severing a few strands of dark red hair.

Behind them, the building, slashed by the bloody blade, silently split in two.

"That girl had such a beautiful granny gray hair, and you dyed it another color. You deserve to die!" Qi Yan grinned.

Talulah's expression darkened, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly burst into laughter.

“You don’t want to kill me, no, you don’t want to kill her!” Talulah pointed to her face, her body trembling with laughter. “At this critical moment, you’re still suppressing your strength. So your true Originium Arts are blood. If that blood blade had been aimed at my head, I would be dead by now.”

"You truly deserve to be called the immortal black snake; you have excellent taste."

Qi Yan also burst into laughter.

But the next second, the longsword suddenly pierced Qi Yan's chest.

Talulah's face twisted in a grimace: "Hold onto your kindness and drown in this city!"

"Unfortunately, I am immortal too!"

With a look of madness in his eyes, Qi Yan grabbed the sword with one hand and slammed the other hand hard into Talulah's face.

Dust billowed high again as the two figures became entangled. Qi Yan kept trying to create distance, but Talulah then closed in on him.

Wherever the two went, everything was destroyed.

The roar of explosions ravaged the city of Chernobyl, and nearly half of the city was engulfed in flames.

At this moment, it felt as if a natural disaster had struck this land once again.

In the distance, the Rhodes Island crew, who had barely escaped the battle zone, looked back at the battlefield behind them, almost speechless with shock.

"Let's go... The battle between two Calamity-level powerhouses is beyond our ability to participate."

ACE's voice sounded a little dry.

The group was silent as everyone followed ACE forward.

There are still sporadic members of the Reunion Movement on the road, who seem to have lost their minds and rush at them whenever they see them.

But no team was able to get close; they all turned into ice sculptures halfway there.

A blue light emanated from Qi Lin's hand, and her voice was cold and clear:

"Move forward, don't stop because of such minor characters."

Amiya opened her mouth, but ultimately chose not to speak.

She noticed that beneath Qi Lin's calm exterior, her hands, which were releasing Originium Arts, were clenched tightly, so tightly that she was completely unaware that her nails were digging into her flesh.

Chapter 036 She told me herself

Outside Chernobog, two Sarkaz hid behind cover, looking up into the depths of Chernobog.

"Hey Scout, have you ever seen this before?"

W, holding a grenade launcher, bandaged his injured arm while asking a question.

Behind another bunker not far away, a Sarkaz dressed in a Rhodes Island uniform wiped the blood from a wound on his shoulder and replied:

"I've never seen anything like it. It's like another natural disaster has struck. I've never heard of two natural disasters happening in such a short period of time. This city is really unlucky."

As soon as he finished speaking, Amiya's voice came through the communicator on Scout's ear.

"Hmm?...Okay...Received!"

After quickly ending the call, Scout sounded somewhat surprised:

"According to Amiya, it wasn't a natural disaster, but rather that your Reunion Movement's supreme leader, Talulah, was fighting a guy named Qi Yan."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" W's voice suddenly rose. "That white dog-man I chased all over the place?"

Scout was silent for a moment.

Then he slowly said:

“Everyone used to say you were crazy, and I was skeptical, but now I believe you. You really are capable of anything.”

He didn't doubt W's words, but he did have some doubts: under W's little skirt, were there some kind of siege cannons, Originium Dust nuclear bombs, or other deadly weapons?

Otherwise, with W's limited skills, would he dare to chase after a Calamity-level powerhouse all over the place?

W sensed the sarcasm in Scout's tone, and the Sarkaz demon's little tail behind him twitched irritably.
