Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"My dear Didi, I'm begging you, I'll handle Shuiyue properly, please don't insist anymore."

I don't have the physique of a deep-sea hunter. If I get involved, I'm afraid I'll be sent back to the stone coffin.

“I’m not your brother, I’m a girl,” Skadi reminded her, frowning.

“Nickname, this is a nickname,” the doctor explained repeatedly.

Are we that close?

Unfortunately, Skadi completely missed the signal, frowning as she uttered a cold yet naive question.

"Of course!" the doctor said firmly. "As the white-haired dog would say, 'It takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride.' We live on the same little shabby boat every day. What a blessing that must have taken so many years to cultivate!"

Skadi hugged her greatsword to her chest, tilted her head and thought for a long time before hesitantly nodding:

"I see."

Patriot glanced down at the doctor and made up his mind.

We can't let that big talker, the Doctor, be alone with Yelena.

The doctor was completely unaware that he had already been ranked as the second most dangerous person in the hearts of the patriots.

Seeing that Skadi had been fooled, the Doctor turned to look at Mizuki:

"Well, the situation is indeed a bit beyond my expectations. I really didn't expect to lure out the Deep Sea Hunter."

“But it has already happened.” Shuiyue said with a bitter face, “Doctor, can I not stay on Rhodes Island anymore? Will I suddenly be cleaved in two by a sword in the middle of the night?”

That would be too troublesome to recover from.

The doctor quickly reassured her:

"It's really not that serious, Titi isn't that kind of person. But if you're worried, you can pack your bags and come on a mission with me."

Faced with this situation, Shuiyue disregarded her dream of staying in her dorm and playing games, and nodded in agreement without even asking about the mission details.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, the squad of operatives who had been observing from a distance dared to step forward.

"Doctor, what should we do with the members of this Reunion movement?"

"Huh? Eldo?" The doctor recognized the guy he had met once before in the warehouse in Chernobog.

He recalled Eldo's interpersonal relationships and waved his hand, saying:

"Send him to Mondstadt for care first, and I'll take him with me when I go to Lentinium later. These Reunion people are really something. Is it really worth being so scared of Eureka that they'd abandon their comrades?"

No sooner had the Doctor finished speaking than Kal'tsit, who had finished checking on Specter, appeared beside him.

"Doctor, keeping promises is a rare quality on this land, and I had hoped that everyone would cherish it. However, your actions have made me feel sorry for you. Now I only hope that you were prepared to take responsibility beforehand."

Chapter 564 Arrival in Londinium

Lentinium, the capital of Victoria.

This steel behemoth lies prostrate on the earth, silently guarding the wilderness, serving as the dividing line between civilization and barbarism.

However, at this moment, in addition to its majestic presence, the behemoth was also surrounded by an inescapable aura of decline, like an old man nearing the end of his life.

This city, once the pride of Victorians, no longer belongs to them.

Sarkaz became the new master of the city.

The people who invited Sarkaz to this city were Victoria's former masters.

The guests occupied Londinium, while the hosts stood in the wilderness outside the city, poised and wary of each other, none daring to be the first to act.

Funny, ridiculous.

This is a stalemate.

A stalemate created by the eight Dukes of Victoria themselves.

Now, a variable has emerged in this stalemate that has lasted for three or four years.

A separate segment of a mobile town, rumbling and kicking up clouds of dust, blatantly bypassed the encirclement of the dukes' armies stationed outside Londinium, arriving at a location less than a kilometer outside the city of Londinium.

This action, which should have caused a huge uproar, strangely made the situation even calmer.

The Duke's army made no response, and the Sarkaz in the city of Londinium also chose to remain silent.

This is because the current owner of this independent block of mobile town is named Qi Yan.

No one wants to offend a top-tier expert with unfathomable strength at this time, especially since this expert came alone and has no weaknesses that can be restrained.

Everyone was watching and waiting for a unanimous statement, making the already heavy atmosphere in Lentinium even more oppressive.

In the moving block of Xiaoqiu County, Qi Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, forming a circle with the oboe and others.

"Three Aces and a Five! Only two cards left!"

"Oh no! Little White got a double kill! Quick, bomb him!"

"Here I come, here I come, watch my four twos!"

"Cello, I don't understand how you dare to do that. The two kings haven't even come out yet, it's a royal flush!"

Qi Yan raised his arm high and with a loud shout, slammed the two kings to the ground.

The cello player was dumbfounded: "Oboe, you tricked me! Why are you making me play a bomb when you don't have a king?!"

"Ah, this... is... that..."

The oboe looked embarrassed: "I thought you had the trump card."

"How could I be teammates with an idiot like you!" The cello player was so angry that her mouth almost twisted into a crook.

The Storm Commando members watching from all sides burst into laughter.

Horn and Chen stood not far away, watching their companions who were in the eye of the storm but were still only focused on playing cards. Their faces were dark.

"These guys..."

Horn gazed at the thick, dark clouds above Londinium and sighed, "So, after all this aggressive charge, what are we supposed to do next?"

Chen glanced at Qi Yan, then at Lentinium, and said helplessly:

"Let's talk about it after Qi Yan has had enough fun."

horn:"……"

She now finally realizes that there is no one reliable in the world around her.

Amidst Qi Yan's arrogant laughter, the oboe and cello were eliminated and quickly replaced by others.

A new round of intense and exciting Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) is about to begin.

The horn ignored the group, walked to the edge of the block to observe its surroundings, and then frowned slightly:

"Although the various forces have not taken any action, they have still sent out spies to try to get close to us."

Chen came to her side, thought for a moment, and analyzed:

"Aside from us and the Originium Dirty Bomb, there's really nothing noteworthy on the block. Let them investigate."

"Even if we wanted to resist, we were powerless. So be it."

The horn nodded in agreement.

No sooner had they finished speaking than screams and cheers erupted from Qi Yan's side.

"The little drum is too strong, it actually brought spring to the world!"

"I refuse to accept this! I lost before I even got my cards sorted out, this round doesn't count!"

Qi Yan tried to cheat by using his skill, but nothing happened.

He was lifted up and dragged out of his place by the crowd, and the next person took his place, starting a new round of tense and exciting competition.

Qi Yan sulked for a while, looking unconvinced, then noticed the horn and Chen's figures, turned around and walked over:

"Lentinium is currently affected by the Shard; it's shrouded in gloom every day. What are you looking at?"

“We’re keeping an eye on those spies who are getting close,” Horn explained, immediately catching the key point in Qi Yan’s words, “You mean that tower in the center of Londinium, which the Sarkaz took over and completed?”

"almost."

Qi Yan pointed to the sky: "Once the Shard Tower is completed, the Sarkaz will be able to have their own man-made natural disasters, making them practically invincible in the world."

Of course, besides the Shard, there are also Sarkaz airships lurking behind this dark cloud.

Both the bugle and Chen fell silent.

"Leaving aside natural disasters, which are entirely beneficial to you," Chen frowned. "But what capabilities does that airship possess, and do you have a way to deal with it?"

"I didn't pay attention, I'll just beat them up."

Qi Yan raised his hand and made a telescope gesture in front of his eyes. After searching around for a moment, he asked in confusion, "Why don't I see the informants you're talking about?"

The horn explained:

"They operate very covertly and possess unique Originium Arts. I can only discover a portion of them, and it's almost impossible to uncover them all."

"Indeed, but killing them is still quite simple," Qi Yan said calmly. "Someone, bring out my Italian cannon, let's start by washing the ground!"

The "Italian cannon" he was referring to was, of course, those dirty Originium bombs.

The bugle immediately sounded to stop them: "You promised us that you wouldn't use these weapons lightly."

"It's just to scare them a little. The attitude has to be clear. Just don't aim at people," Qi Yan said nonchalantly.

Horn and Chen were still somewhat hesitant.

Qi Yan pressed his advantage, saying:

"You don't want to be watched 24/7, with people even watching you shower, sleep, and change clothes, do you?"

Two people: "..."

Chen looked disgusted: "Compared to those spies who are only focused on completing their missions, I think it's more likely that you're the one spying on me."

"What are you saying? I'm not Warfarin!" Qi Yan retorted.

Chen remained noncommittal, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

But then Chen and Haojiao exchanged a glance. They knew perfectly well that the informants wouldn't have the time or inclination for that, but after Qi Yan brought it up, they still felt a bit disgusted by those informants.

Suddenly, the roar of artillery fire erupted from the moving block of Hillsshire.

Before the spies trying to get closer could react, a barrage of shells rained down on them not far in front of them.

A thick cloud of Originium dust rose up, forming a terrifying defensive line that shocked everyone.

Without any hesitation, those informants decisively turned and retreated.

This move instantly put all surrounding forces on high alert.

On the walls of Lentinium, the roaming Sarkaz ranks were becoming denser at a visible speed.

Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the moving block in Little Hill County, fearing that an Originium dirty bomb might strike at any moment.

After a period of cleanup, the Hillstreet mobile block returned to calm.

Now everyone was confused about Qi Yan's intentions.

Qi Yan's existence became a thorn in the side for all the forces on the field.

He couldn't make everyone happy, so he simply chose to make everyone miserable.

It was in this delicate situation that someone unexpected stepped forward.

Mandra walked alone from a distance towards the Small Hill County mobile block, stopping outside the Originium dust isolation zone.

Chapter 565 Brave Cat, Unafraid of Qi Yan!

Is this woman courting death?

This is the thought that inevitably pops into the mind of everyone who witnesses the Mandela Operation.

Everyone knows about the conflict between Qi Yan and Shenchi in Xiaoqiu County. Now, the leader of Shenchi is hiding in the shadows recovering from his injuries and it is impossible for him to recover anytime soon.

Even Qi Yan and the others didn't expect Mandra to come knocking on their door on the Little Hill County mobile block.

"Is this girl mentally challenged?"
