Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"This is Exusiai, you should stay away from her."

Razer said expressionlessly:

“I don’t think it’s good for unity to talk about our partners like that, and we need Penguin Logistics’ help; they can help us find safe evacuation routes.”

"Ha, we've got a deal, so it's safe for us to go anywhere."

Franka couldn't help but chuckle softly.

She had barely finished speaking when Texas's voice rang out:

"Enemy attack! Take cover!"

Everyone instinctively chose to obey, falling to the ground and shielding Misha and the others beneath them.

A tremendous roar echoed in everyone's ears, and the rooftop where they were located shook violently from the explosion.

At the same time, Qi Yan screamed.

Franka and the others looked up and saw Qi Yan covered in dust, rolling several times on the ground.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the grenade exploded right next to Qi Yan.

Texas got up, her tone calm and composed:

"Exusiai, cover me."

The next moment, Texas drew her orange-yellow Originium sword and leaped off the rooftop in a blur.

Exusiai set up a submachine gun and kept firing at the Reunion Movement members who were surrounding her downstairs.

Gunfire spit out gunshots, and a barrage of bullets rained down on the Reunion Movement members. A single person perfectly suppressed the attack of numerous Reunion Movement members.

Texas moved with incredible speed, seemingly defying gravity as she ran along the walls of the high-rise building, quickly charging into the Reunion Movement's ranks.

With a flash of sword light, large numbers of Reunion Movement members fell wherever she went.

Franka also got up, wanting to join the battle and support Texas.

But as soon as she reached the edge of the rooftop, she saw the figure of Shattered Bones below, raising a grenade launcher and aiming it at the rooftop.

"Oh my god, again?"

Franka gasped and jumped aside.

Another grenade whistled down and landed on the rooftop.

As luck would have it, it was located not far from Qi Yan.

"what's the situation?!"

Qi Yan disregarded his image and rolled frantically on the ground, barely managing to avoid the blast radius.

Before he could get up, another grenade fell.

In an instant, Qi Yan was blasted around, jumping up and down, and his once clean Rhodes Island uniform was now covered with gunpowder burn marks.

Exusiai's eyes widened in surprise:

"Is this your Originium Arts? It's amazing. It can accurately attract enemy fire."

"I'll give you Originium..."

Qi Yan's voice was drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

Amiya seemed somewhat worried, but faced with this situation, there was no other way to protect herself except by defeating the Bone Shatterer.

As the group looked at each other in bewilderment, the professor scratched his head and chuckled:

"That's good. With Qi Yan drawing fire, dealing with the rest of the Reunion Movement will be much easier for us."

Qi Yan, you should stay far away and get bombed.

Chapter 053 Returning to the old business

Amidst Qi Yan's cursing and swearing, he hid in a corner at the edge of the rooftop, and the blast radius moved with him.

That area suddenly seemed to have become a chosen place, with grenades raining down upon it.

Below, as Shattered Bones fired, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

He always felt that the next time he pulled the trigger, he would be met with a punch from Qi Yanfei.

Shattered Bones had never seen the scene of Qi Yan and Talulah's fight, but he had seen the miserable state Talulah was in after being beaten up.

Even the dragons, with their terrifying physical abilities, were brutally beaten by Qi Yan. With his small frame, he would probably have been killed before he even got a scratch.

Distracted and confused, the Broken Bones had long lost its aim, and was left only with numbly firing continuously.

Around him, many Reunion Movement squads quickly assembled, each carrying a strangely shaped backpack.

"Everyone, remember, don't try to fight Rhodes Island head-on. Once you get Misha, evacuate immediately!"

The Reunion Movement members equipped with backpacks quickly activated the backpack mechanisms as their squad leader repeatedly emphasized the importance of them.

A powerful gust of air burst from the bottom of the backpack, lifting them high into the air and hurtling towards the rooftop where Rhodes Island was located.

Upon seeing this, Exusiai immediately opened fire on them.

The jetpacks used by these Reunion members looked rudimentary, but they were surprisingly fast. Despite losing some members in the face of Exusiai's firepower, they still managed to land on the rooftop.

"Get down here!"

Razer let out a low growl and rammed his shield into the Reunion members.

As it struck, faint electric light flickered on the deep blue horn atop Razer's head, the current traveling along the shield to the Reunion members.

In an instant, no fewer than five Reunion Movement members were paralyzed and fell screaming as they were struck by Razer's terrifying power.

"It's Vayvan, don't mess with that dragon girl!"

Some Reunion members recognized the race of Razer as a branch of the dragon race, similar to Talulah, whose power was considered to be at the pinnacle on the Terra continent.

Upon hearing that Razer was a race, the Reunion members immediately scattered and fled.

Razer had to protect Misa and the others, so he couldn't give chase and could only keep firing at them with his pistol.

However, Franka beside her had no such concerns. Her rapier shone with a scorching light as she chased after the Reunion members, hacking and slashing.

Whether it was the weapons or armor of the Reunion members, they were all as fragile as paper under Franka's specially made thermite sword, offering no protection whatsoever.

In an instant, the Reunion Movement members on the rooftop were beaten until they cried out in pain.

The doctor stood in a safe position, his gaze quickly sweeping across the battlefield, constantly adjusting the tactical arrangements of the group.

Even so, faced with an endless stream of Reunion Movement members, the group could not hide their defeat.

Just as Amiya was starting to panic and instinctively wanted to ask Qi Yan for help, that seemingly invincible golden-eyed figure descended upon the Reunion paratroopers.

"Mr. Qi Yan!"

Amiya perked up, and a look of relief immediately appeared on her face.

But the next second, to her astonishment, Qi Yan knocked out a Reunion member and appeared beside her in a flash.

The PhD student joked:

"I thought you were furious after being bombed and were about to make a move."

"I was really getting desperate after being bombed like this." Qi Yan quickly stripped the Reunion member of his clothes and equipment. "There's definitely something fishy going on here. I'm going to see who gave Broken Bones the guts to bomb me like this!"

As they spoke, Qi Yan had already skillfully put on the Reunion Movement uniform.

"Keep everyone who witnessed my actions here; don't let a single one escape!"

As soon as Qi Yan finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared from the rooftop.

No one present could see Qi Yan's actions clearly.

Exusiai blinked, belatedly realizing what was happening:

"His name is Qi Yan, the Cataclysmic-level powerhouse who fought a great battle with Talulah in Chernobog and destroyed half of the city?"

“Yes, Miss Angel.” The Doctor chuckled. “But now is not the time to be surprised. Call Miss Texas back to the team. After we finish off these paratroopers, we will retreat immediately.”

Exusiai had already witnessed the Doctor's command abilities and, without hesitation, decisively chose to execute the order.

On the other side, during the brief interval between reloading the broken bone, he was shocked to find that Qi Yan's figure had disappeared from his sight.

The hair on his back stood on end instantly.

During the battle, the disappearance of a powerful opponent capable of instantly defeating everyone on the field is nothing short of a horror story.

What's even more terrifying is that he recklessly bombed the other party for half a day.

"Cease the attack and regroup!"

Broken Bones dared not risk the lives of his men and immediately issued a retreat order.

The Reunion Movement's forces instantly coalesced.

Texas also received a communication from Exusiai, withdrew, and returned to the rooftop to join the others in the encirclement and suppression of the paratroopers.

The Rhodes Island squad then left the scene without delay.

Broken Bones and a group of Reunion Movement members gathered together, looking at each other with a tense expression.

As more and more isolated members of the Reunion Movement gathered with the main force, Broken Bones' heart gradually rose into his throat, fearing that Qi Yan was waiting for them to gather together so that he could cleanly and efficiently eliminate them.

But Qi Yan didn't appear. Instead, a figure swaying in the air attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, you over there in the sky, watch out... don't, don't land over there, that's a crater!"

With a scream, the paratrooper plummeted out of control, crashing hard onto the edge of a deep pit.

His body slid all the way into the pit due to inertia.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Shattered Bones cried out in alarm.

Before he could even speak, nearby Reunion members rushed over and grabbed the paratrooper's clothes.

Qi Yan, being pulled by his clothes and suspended from the edge of the deep pit, let out a long sigh of gratitude and said:

"Thanks, bro. My backpack is acting up somehow, it's out of control."

In reality, it wasn't that the jetpack was out of control; it was purely a problem with his operation.

But anyway, the jetpack was already badly damaged after that fall.

The point is to ensure that there are no witnesses left to testify.

Several more members of the Reunion Movement arrived and pulled Qi Yan to a safe location.

Broken Bones stepped forward, unable to resist reprimanding him:

"I've said it countless times, the backpacks we stole are rather rudimentary, and we must carefully check them before each flight."

"I was wrong, I was a little anxious at the time."

Qi Yan, wearing a mask, put on a well-behaved expression and obediently apologized.

Seeing this, Sui Gu took a deep breath. He couldn't see Qi Yan's face, but he could tell from Qi Yan's voice that Qi Yan was not old, so he didn't say anything more.

"Count the number of casualties, leave some people behind to take care of the wounded, and the rest of you will continue the pursuit with me."

After giving his instructions, Shattered Bones once again led the charge towards Rhodes Island's forces.

Qi Yan dropped his damaged jetpack, pulled out his weapon, and blended seamlessly into the main force.

While on his journey, he secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of those around him.

Chapter 054 You already have a way to die

"Can that traitor really be trusted?"

"Don't think too much about it. We have to get Misha, whether it's because of Talulah's instructions or Shattered Bones's obsession."

Discussions continued to emanate from the group, but each of them remained secretive, as if revealing the name of the traitor they were talking about would cost them their lives.

Qi Yan was so angry that his teeth itched.

When will the Riddler finally get out of Terra?!
