Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Just then, the wind brought a series of shouts.

"Stop! Don't let them run away!"

"Especially that little girl, she overheard our conversation!"

"The main road is just ahead. Don't hesitate, fire the arrows!"

The two were startled at the same time and turned their heads to look, only to meet the gaze of a woman whose face was full of panic.

The woman was holding a little girl who looked to be no more than ten years old in her arms. They were clearly mother and daughter, and both of them were pale and bloodless with fright.

Behind the mother and daughter, a group of menacing-looking men were hot on their heels, one of whom had already nocked a crossbow bolt.

Chapter 510 Rhodes Island Faction Skill: Grand Summoning!

Without the slightest hesitation, Ibrahimovic reached out and tried to pull Fleur away as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, his injuries hadn't fully healed, and he was a step too slow.

As soon as Furong realized the situation, she rushed towards the mother and daughter and tackled them to the ground.

The crossbow bolt grazed the corner of Hibiscus's head, severing a few strands of her purple hair.

Ibrahimovic was so frightened by the scene that his heart almost stopped. He rushed forward, picked up a brick, and smashed it hard at the man who was about to reload his crossbow.

The brick was easily dodged by the opponent, but it also successfully stopped him from loading the crossbow bolt. However, his companion rushed towards Ibu as well.

"But……"

Upon hearing Eevee's roar, Furong instinctively wanted to say something.

Ibrahimovic didn't give her the chance. He grabbed Hibiscus by the back of her collar, pulled her up, and forced her to stand up straight. Then he reached out and grabbed her.

The nutritious meal that Furong had been longing for and carrying the whole time was snatched away by Ibu.

The three men rushing towards Eevee were unaware of the gravity of the situation. They pulled out daggers from their pockets and attacked Eevee's vital points without saying a word.

Ibrahimovic barely dodged the attack, then opened the lunchbox and slammed it hard into the face of the man directly in front of him.

Caught off guard, the man took a large bite.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Without a chance to react, the man felt as if his taste buds had been bombarded by an Originium bomb, and he immediately knelt on the ground and began to dry heave.

His face turned pale at a visible speed, then turned from white to green and then to black.

"Oh no! The food is poisoned!"

The remaining two men's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They quickly distanced themselves and chose to bypass Ibu, blocking Fleur and the mother and daughter's escape route.

Ibrahimovic's heart sank. He slapped the lunchbox at the man's face again and snatched the dagger from the man's hand.

"I'll hold them off for you, you run!"

With a low growl, Ibrahimovic disregarded his still-healing injuries and abandoned all defense, thrusting his dagger straight into a man's chest.

The man had never seen such a reckless madman before, and he was so frightened that he quickly hid.

The previously blocked road now has a gap.

Furong picked up the little girl from the woman's arms and ran away with the woman in her arms.

Seeing that even in such a critical moment, Furong still remembered to save people, Ibu felt both angry and anxious.

He didn't care whether the strange mother and daughter lived or died.

But Ibrahimovic said nothing, he just gritted his teeth and brandished his dagger, forcing back the two men who had surrounded him again.

"Furong, you run first, I'll protect this mother and daughter... uh!"

As Ibrahimovic was speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye, and the shadow of death instantly loomed over his heart.

At the critical moment, Ibrahimovic ducked and dodged, so that the crossbow bolt that should have hit his heart only sank into his shoulder.

But Ibrahimovic's heart sank to the bottom.

His injuries had not yet healed, making it difficult for him to stop the enemy. Now, with his shoulder injured, his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

"Senior... Heh, at least I'm not too ashamed to face you in the afterlife."

Ibrahimovic staggered, clutching his injured shoulder, bloodshot eyes slowly appearing as he stared intently at the enemy before him.

To give Furong a chance to escape, the archer must be dealt with first. There are only two enemies still able to move. If they charge recklessly, there is a chance they can break through to the archer.

Once Ibrahimovic made up his mind, he prepared to fight tooth and nail.

Suddenly, he felt a small hand pressing against his back, and then familiar Originium Arts enveloped him, helping to suppress his injuries.

"Are you crazy?!" Ibrahimovic exclaimed in shock.

Furong didn't say anything, but took a deep breath and shouted at the empty sky:

"Mr. Qi Yan, help me!"

Ibrahimovic was almost driven mad by Fleur's actions:

"Qi Yan has already left the Great Knight Territory, what are you doing!"

"This isn't a call to Qi Yan, it's a summoning command." Fleur pulled Eevee back.

Seeing the enemy charging again, and the most threatening archer already nocking his third bolt, Ibu felt more anger than confusion.

Why would Furong, who is not the type to hold others back, do these confusing things when a crisis comes?

The answer soon appeared before Ibrahimovic's eyes.

A sharp, piercing sound came from the horizon.

A half-meter-long blue ice crystal pierced the air, flying from the horizon, slicing off the corner of a roadside building, and crashing down in front of Ibu.

The two men who rushed up didn't even have time to scream before they were blasted away, their bodies turning into ice sculptures before they even hit the ground.

The crossbowman, who was aiming, flinched, his finger gripping the trigger, and another bolt shot out.

A white-haired figure in a blue dress descended from the sky, her golden eyes filled with coldness.

"Who dares to touch the members of Rhodes Island's medical department?"

The crossbow bolt flew right in front of Qi Lin, but she caught it with her hand and snapped it in two with a gentle flick of her fingertips.

The man holding the crossbow was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Those are crossbow bolts with steel shafts, you... who exactly are you?"

“You don’t need to know these things.” Qi Lin raised her hand and pointed with her fingertip. “You only need to know that you are already a dead man.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Lin's fingers flashed with blue light, and she skillfully used the techniques taught by Shining.

Despite being several meters apart, the man holding the crossbow fell to the ground without warning, shattering into pieces like a fragile porcelain doll.

The scene fell into deathly silence.

Ibrahimovic felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this scene.

The mother and daughter, whom Furong had placed by the roadside, were so frightened that they clung to each other tightly, even more terrified than when they were being chased.

Qi Lin turned around, her gaze sweeping over Ibu and the mother and daughter before finally settling on Furong.

"Are you alright?" Qi Lin asked casually.

The moment Furong saw Qi Lin, she was completely relieved:

"No, thank goodness Ibu was there, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to ask for help."

Qi Lin nodded, looked at Ibu again, raised her fingertip and tapped it in the air to help suppress his injuries.

When Ibrahimovic saw Zillin's actions, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the ground.

Furong quickly reached out to support him and comforted him:

"It's alright, don't be afraid. As long as Miss Qi Lin is here, no one can hurt us."

Those people were really unlucky; they ran into us right after Mr. Qi Yan left. If Mr. Qi Yan had intervened, they might have been left half-dead.

"I spared one life," Qi Lin said, speaking up for herself.

It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up, because the moment it was mentioned, Furong looked at Ibu and the pale-faced survivor and became furious.

"Why would someone use my nutritional meal as a weapon? And what was that bastard thinking with his reaction?!"

Ibrahimovic grinned, but didn't dare to argue back.

The unfortunate man lay on the ground, too weak to speak.

"Thank you... thank you all."

A trembling woman's weak voice came through.

The woman held her daughter, and although she was intimidated by Qi Lin's strength and methods, she still forced herself to thank her.

Furong waved her hand: "It was mainly thanks to Yibu and Miss Qilin that I was able to help much."

Why are you being hunted down?

The woman bowed repeatedly to Ibu and Zillyn, explaining:

"It's Gael Industries. They've introduced a policy to help those infected, saying there's a project in Tsvonek, a border town, that can provide jobs for us infected people."

I wanted to give it a try, but on the way my daughter sneaked out to play and overheard people from Gale Industries saying that we were just expendables, and that they needed to hurry up and finish fooling us so they could get on with other missions…

At this point, a look of despair appeared on the woman's face.

Ibrahimovic looked at the woman in front of him, especially the little girl in her arms, and frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Furong couldn't help herself and blurted out:

"These kinds of projects usually hire male workers, right? Where is your husband?"

"He...he had an accident." The woman clearly didn't want to talk about it anymore.

But the little girl in her arms was a bit agitated and argued:

"My father is a great hero. My uncles all say that my father is a great hero who fought against the villains of the Unarmored Alliance!"

Ibrahimovic: "..."

The woman looked somewhat distressed and gently coaxed her:

“Okay, he’s a hero, Piran… he’s a great hero among the infected.”

Ibrahimovic's expression suddenly froze.

Chapter 511 Everyone Knows You (Part 2)

"Ugh, I'm going crazy, this awful road is so hard to walk on."

In the wilderness, Qi Yan kicked a pebble in front of him with all his might, looking frantic.

Marner walked beside him, her face somewhat dark:

"You have only yourself to blame."

Even now, recalling that experience, the golden Pegasus still finds it hard to believe.

He initially thought that Qi Yan's eagerness to drive stemmed from her confidence in her driving skills, which were indeed quite good on regular roads at first, and she had no problems speeding along the way.

Just as Marna was about to take a short nap, the vehicle suddenly started shaking.

He opened his eyes in horror and found that Qi Yan had somehow gotten lost on the bumpy dirt road.

“I still can’t understand it,” Marner said, his face falling. “I was only blindfolded for ten minutes. How could you get lost on a straight road, and…”

Marner let out what seemed to be the umpteenth sigh of his journey:

"And on that kind of road surface, why would you keep pressing the accelerator instead of controlling your speed?"

"Isn't it so we can get away from those bumpy roads sooner?" Qi Yan said innocently.

"...You know what, when I saw the car tires overtake the SUV and roll wildly in front of us, I almost doubted that I was still asleep."

Marna took a deep breath: "I doubted myself, I doubted the brakes, but I never doubted you, and then..."

Qi Yan chuckled awkwardly, not daring to continue teasing the golden pegasus whose anger was about to explode.
