Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Upon hearing the contents, Warfarin's red eyes widened instantly, and she crushed the blood bag in her hand with a bang.

Ignoring the blood all over her body, Warfarin sprang up from her chair, kicked off her slippers, and dashed out of the room toward the broadcasting room.

"The team assigned by the Doctor, get ready to move! Some fool is trying to steal Qi Lin from us!"

Warfarin's desperate shouts were broadcast throughout the entire ship.

Everyone couldn't help but show surprise.

"Holy crap, who's so brave?"

"Why is it only the squad designated by the Doctor that can move around? I want to see how that guy died too... Huh, what just darted past?"

"My God, it's Frostnova! How can she run so fast?!"

In Kal'tsit's office, Kal'tsit was busy checking the recent financial statements when she suddenly heard Wafarin's shouting over the loudspeaker, and she instinctively wanted to get angry.

But as soon as she stood up, Kal'tsit hesitated again.

She glanced down at the bill in front of her.

The document contained a large batch of materials that had been secretly sent from Kazimierz to Rhodes Island some time ago, with a value almost equivalent to half a year's income for Rhodes Island.

Even though most of it was spent by the Doctor as soon as it arrived at Rhodes Island and before it could even be put into storage, the remaining portion was enough to make Kal'tsit feel a little excited.

"Well, there are some things on this land that cannot be stopped. Letting nature take its course is also a good option."

Kal'tsit sat back down in her chair, opened a drawer, took out a piece of candy, and put it in her mouth.

But soon, the spiciness made her forehead break out in a fine sweat.

"There are always unpredictable accidents on this land. Pompeii sneaking into the kitchen the day before yesterday must be dealt with!"

Just as Kal'tsit was muttering riddles, a large convoy had already assembled on the deck outside the Rhodes Island ship.

Murphy stared blankly at the heavy truck in front of him.

"Hey, aren't we going to support the Doctor?" Murphy asked, pointing at the trucks. "Why are there so many big trucks? Does Rhodes Island transport people directly onto trucks?"

Anthony walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder:

"There will always be some big guys who need it."

Carrying a hammer, Mud Rock, led by Huang, passed by the two of them and found her vehicle.

Murphy still felt something was off, but before he could post again, Froststar, radiating a chilling aura, poked her head out from the car in front:

"It's time to go."

Murphy jolted awake, quickly shut his mouth, and obediently got into his car.

The convoy started moving amidst Warfarin's unrestrained laughter, charging towards the Grand Knights' Headquarters ahead.

Because of the cooperation with the Great Knights, the Rhodes Island ships were not far from the Great Knights and soon successfully arrived at the city gate.

When the guards saw Rhodes Island's massive convoy, they prepared to make them stop for inspection as usual, but the next second they received a communication from the Federation warning them not to make trouble for themselves.

The knights of conquest wanted to consult the Supervisory Council, but the result they received was the same.

Seeing this, the conquering knights could only helplessly watch as this suspicious caravan drove into the city in a grand manner.

Meanwhile, inside the National Stadium, Russell was watching Qi Yan make a phone call and exchange trash talk with the Nightmare Knight, completely bewildered, when suddenly her terminal vibrated.

Within seconds of the call being connected, Russell's expression changed:

"Who let them into the city?"

Silver Spear Pegasus withdrew his gaze from Marna's sword and turned to ask:

"Grandmaster, what happened?"

“A caravan from Rhodes Island has entered the city.” Russell’s expression was somewhat grim. “That doctor somehow managed to cultivate connections within the Supervisory Council, along with Qi Yan’s connections within the Federation. The Grand Knights allowed that caravan to enter the city without any investigation.”

I knew many members of the Supervisory Committee had their own agendas, but I never expected them to be so audacious. Perhaps we can no longer tolerate them.

"Do we need to take action?"

Silver Spear Pegasus realized that things were developing in an unpredictable direction, and at that moment he couldn't care less about studying the sword.

Russell watched as Qi Yan grew increasingly agitated with his insults on the field. Suddenly, he threw the terminal at the Nightmare Knight's face, then jumped up and caught the terminal as it bounced back.

Blood Knight and Nearl stood on either side of the two, preventing them from actually fighting.

The scene looked utterly ridiculous, but Russell couldn't laugh at all.

"Rhodes Island's backup plan is finally about to be revealed," Russell said in a deep voice.

The silver spear and heavenly horse suddenly gained a sharp edge:

"Master, we are ready to act at any time. As long as that convoy is still in the city, we can find them!"

"It's not that simple. Rhodes Island knows about your existence, and they will definitely try to restrict you."

Russell's demeanor was no longer as gentle as usual; she finally displayed the authority unique to those in positions of power.

“But since that’s the case, we don’t need to be too afraid of Qi Yan. Let ten Silver Spear Pegasus warriors leave the city and camp ten kilometers away from the Rhodes Island ships.”

Silver Spear Pegasus immediately turned and left.

Russell watched as Qi Yan was easily dragged a long distance by Lin Guang's single hand gripping her in the arena, her fingers lightly tapping on her arm armor.

"Qi Yan, wanna bet?"

"I bet you won't destroy the homeland of the Radiant Knights."

"If I win this bet, I can guarantee that I won't harm the lives of any of your Rhodes Island members. But if I lose this bet, will the internal relations within Rhodes Island be completely altered?"

"...What would you do, Qi Yan?"

Qi Yan could do nothing at that moment.

He was held down by Nearl's one hand, and no matter how much he struggled, his black eyes were no match for Nearl's strength. Even when he tried to bite him with his teeth and smash him with a Nokia phone, Nearl remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, the Blood Knights and Nightmare Knights on the other side were in complete chaos.

"Why are you stopping me?" Nightmare Knight punched Blood Knight in the stomach.

The Blood Knight swayed, grabbed the Nightmare Knight's arm, and swept his leg across the opponent's shin.

"Tonight's battle is over. Your fight with the White Knight was against the rules and constituted a private duel."

The Nightmare Knight nearly collapsed, but managed to hold on through sheer willpower at the last moment.

He suddenly straightened up and tried to attack the Blood Knight's jaw with his elbow.

Unfortunately this time, the Blood Knight successfully dodged and used his weapon first.

The giant axe's sharp blade was pressed against the Nightmare Knight's neck, while the Nightmare Knight's blade was still some distance from the Blood Knight's head.

The two remained frozen in place, like statues.

"Nightmare, it's time for your nonsense to end."

The Blood Knight retracted his giant axe, confirming that Qi Yan had been completely pulled away. He took two steps back and said, "You should learn to look forward. The only thing that can truly frighten people is the present."

See you on the field later.

With that, the Blood Knight turned and left with a flourish.

The Nightmare Knight held up his weapon, seemingly still immersed in the half-move that had just resulted in his defeat.

Until another familiar figure entered his field of vision.

Roy eagerly drew Marna's sword, only to find himself locked onto by the Nightmare Knight's gaze.

His tail bristled instantly: "It wasn't that I wanted to throw the sword at you, it was all Qi Yan's doing!"

To Roy's surprise, this time the Nightmare Knight acted out of character and didn't cause him any trouble like a madman. Instead, he turned and left as well.

Roy glanced around and realized he was the only one left on the field. He quickly covered his face with the blade of his sword and fled the scene.

Chapter 468 Rhodes Island Vacation = ?

This duel, which almost everyone in the Great Knights Territory had been looking forward to, ended in a farcical manner.

Many audience members left with disappointed expressions.

If the Blood Knight hadn't intervened, they would have witnessed the Radiant Knight and the Nightmare Knight locked in a life-or-death struggle.

But they dared not blame the Blood Knight.

The sudden appearance of the Little White Knight made the audience think they were about to see a live version of a melodramatic, action-romance movie, but unfortunately, they were stopped in the end.

Among those who tried to stop them were also Blood Knights.

This made the audience's feelings about Blood Knight more complicated than ever before.

Blood Knight himself did not respond to this, and instead returned home to rest and recuperate, avoiding the media.

Meanwhile, the Radiant Knight has the formidable Little White Knight by his side, so even if the reporters had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

Only one Nightmare Knight remained, and he disappeared as soon as he left the arena.

At the same time, some astute citizens noticed that something was subtly off about the atmosphere within the Great Knight's territory.

The knightly procession, gleaming with silver light, marched directly into the street, seemingly searching for something.

This action had no impact on ordinary citizens, or even on those infected; Silver Spear Pegasus was simply fulfilling the task assigned by Russell.

But the result shocked the Silver Spear Pegasus; they found nothing.

Rhodes Island's convoy did not go directly to the National Stadium to support Qi Yan. After entering the city, their clear objective was to head straight for the hotel where Rhodes Island was staying on Plot Zero.

But when the convoy arrived at the hotel, the particularly conspicuous heavy trucks were missing.

Those big guys seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how the supervisory commission investigated, they couldn't find where they disappeared or where they went.

The members of the Overwatch Council sent to contact Rhodes Island only received an answer that infuriated him.

“We’ve never driven any heavy trucks. If you don’t believe me, go check the surveillance footage.”

The doctor stood with his hands in his pockets, his words resolute and convincing.

The members of the Supervisory Committee were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode.

Rhodes Island had clearly investigated the distribution of surveillance in the Great Knight Territory long ago. Only ordinary off-road vehicles appeared in the surveillance footage throughout the convoy, and the heavy trucks didn't even emit any exhaust fumes.

The members of the Supervisory Committee still found it hard to believe.

What level of hacker could infiltrate Kazimir's system without anyone noticing and steal their surveillance and distribution intelligence?

"Putting all that aside for now, why did you suddenly gather so many people?" a member of the Supervisory Council questioned.

The doctor explained slowly and methodically:

"Rhodes Island and Kazimierz are companies that have a partnership. It's perfectly reasonable for us to send our own operators on vacation, right?"

"Don't worry, we follow the rules very well. If any of our island's operators are infected, they will absolutely not appear in areas where non-infected individuals are active."

Upon hearing the word "vacation," members of the Control Council nearly developed PTSD.

The two places that were used for Rhodes Island vacations this year have caused quite a bit of trouble... Although all the evidence afterwards pointed only to Qi Yan, this oddball, no one dared to ignore the power of Rhodes Island vacations.

The members of the Supervisory Committee gritted their teeth and said:

"Let me remind you all, the Great Knight Territory is no ordinary city-state; it now has the Silver Spear Pegasus!"

"That's a very unpleasant thing to say," the professor clicked his tongue. "It's not like we're planning anything. Aren't we partners?"

The members of the supervisory committee choked for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, nor could he produce any solid evidence to accuse Rhodes Island, he could only leave the hotel in a huff.

Having fooled this guy away, the professor turned to the crowd gathered behind him, spread his hands, and asked with a smile:

"Why are you all looking at me? You're here on vacation, go have fun."

Of course, we mustn't cause trouble; we must be law-abiding citizens.

Huang was the first to cheer, putting his arms around Extreme and Thorn's shoulders on either side: "Let's go, let's go for a drink, the bars in Casimir are sure to be lively!"

She hugged both of them and was the first to run out of the hotel.

Froststar, her face tense, stepped forward and asked:

"Where is Qi Lin? And where is that Nightmare Knight?"
