Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

In the Sadien district, a long, dragon-like ravine appeared. At its end, Qi Yan stopped, turned back, and waved, saying:

"Excuse me, may I pass by again?"

After saying that, Qi Yan released blood as he rushed towards the edge of the Sadien district.

The Blood Demon Lord was furious: "Are you trying to escape?"

"Don't worry, you can play with my blood for a while, I'll be back in ten minutes."

Qi Yan's voice drifted over from afar, instantly fueling the Blood Demon Lord's rage.

Without any hesitation, he flashed after Qi Yan.

Beneath his feet, blood spontaneously transformed into a giant wave, lifting him into the air. Countless strange insects were born from the blood, constantly devouring it to strengthen themselves, preparing for the battle to come.

The buildings looked as tiny as toys at the feet of the Blood Demon Lord, and everything in their path turned into crimson ruins.

Qi Yan, who was walking at a leisurely pace ahead, was soon overtaken, and blood surged up and engulfed him.

"Bloodline, eat him."

The Blood Demon Lord issued a command, manipulating those strange insects to cover Qi Yan's body.

But as soon as these blood descendants came into contact with Qi Yan, they were melted into a lump of rotten flesh by his blood, and then revived under the nourishment of the Blood Demon Lord's blood, in an endless cycle.

The Blood Demon Lord was not surprised by this. He never intended to use these blood descendants to harm Qi Yan. He only wanted to reduce the burden on himself in suppressing Qi Yan's blood.

"Since we're going to compete to the limit, let me see what you've got."

The Blood Demon Lord stood atop the blood waves, looking down at Qi Yan's slowly moving figure: "If I were to transform all the living beings in this land into my bloodline, into a part of my blood, could you suppress them all by your own power?"

Blood surged and began to spread beneath the Blood Demon Lord's feet, forming a river of blood that branched into countless tributaries, spreading outwards and devouring the city's inhabitants with unbridled abandon.

Qi Yan poked his head out from the endless blood and reminded them:

"Those who do bad things will be punished."

"Ridiculous, is this your last words?" the Blood Demon Lord retorted sarcastically.

The Eurekas tilted their heads, wanting to remind Blood Demon Lord Qi Yan that he was right, but after a moment's hesitation, they stopped themselves from speaking.

Perhaps the Blood Demon Lord would be a good experimental subject.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the clouds churned and gathered so rapidly that it gave the illusion that the sky was falling towards the earth.

A black meteorite emerged from the clouds and whistled as it fell.

Its landing point was precisely that elegant figure standing proudly alone above the blood-red wave.

The Blood Demon Lord clicked his tongue and manipulated the blood waves to dodge the calamity meteorite.

Before he could even come to a stop, a second meteorite struck, followed by a third, and a fourth…

"What the hell?!"

The Blood Demon Lord was filled with doubt and surprise.

Although other parts of Lontinim were also being attacked by natural disaster meteors besides his own, he remained the most targeted object of the natural disasters.

"Does a natural disaster also possess its own will?" The Blood Demon Lord shook his head decisively, then looked at Qi Yan, "Is this some kind of trick of yours?"

"Gods can manipulate the power of natural disasters to some extent, but do you think a mere natural disaster can harm me?"

"Natural disasters are uncertain, but Eureka can be."

Qi Yan left with a well-intentioned reminder, then pushed off the blood-stained shackles and continued moving toward the edge of the plot.

The Blood Demon Lord relentlessly pursued the calamity, dodging its attacks all the way.

But his mood was getting worse and worse.

If it weren't for the formidable enemy Qi Yan who needed to be dealt with, and the need to conserve his strength, he would have loved to manipulate his blood to fight back against this natural disaster targeting him in order to vent his anger.

But the Blood Demon Lord soon discovered that the calamity was not only targeting him.

Meteorites of all sizes fell, landing precisely on one 'Eureka' after another.

Even more lightning struck, turning 'Eureka' into charred remains.

In addition, windstorms carrying Originium particles and black raindrops containing Originium components, along with various other possible forms of natural disasters, converged and ravaged Londinium.

The Blood Demon Lord's eyelids twitched.

This bizarre natural disaster was something he had never seen before, even with his long lifespan.

On the city wall, Manfred, pale-faced, had just organized the Sarkaz soldiers' retreat when he suddenly noticed that someone was missing from his side.

He turned his head in horror and found that Hadley was still standing on the edge of the city wall, watching the battle intently.

Without hesitation, Manfred used Originium Arts to create a barrier and charged toward Hedley through the rain of Originium.

As soon as he got close, he heard Hadley's voice, which made him furious.

"U-chan...this is hell...why is the Transformers' Royal Court treating U-chan like this...she's just an ordinary little girl!"

"Stop acting crazy here, come with me to safety!"

Manfred kicked Hedley in the butt, grabbed his clothes, and ran away: "The shapeshifters tricked me again! This isn't just about the Sadion district disappearing; if those three keep fighting, the entire Londinium will be gone!"

Hedley, looking distraught, was dragged a short distance by Manfred before suddenly attacking him, kicking Manfred in the buttocks.

Caught off guard, Manfred was kicked and sent flying, tumbling several times.

Before Manfred could turn around and curse, he saw that the spot where he had just been was hit by a meteorite.

Hedley used the embers to create a barrier above his head, ran over to help Manfred up, and said sincerely:

"I have no intention of revenge, but the situation is critical and I have no other choice."

Manfred nearly had his back teeth crushed, but he suppressed his anger and continued his escape.

This time, however, in addition to being wary of the natural disasters overhead, the two also had to be wary of each other.

Meanwhile, the doctor and his companions, who were escaping in the underground structure, felt the rumbling above their heads and became somewhat anxious.

"It must be that Qi Yan and Sarkaz have already started fighting. Everyone, quicken your pace and hopefully Sarkaz can hold on for a few more minutes." The Doctor clasped his hands together and kept praying for the Blood Lord.

Upon hearing this, Fester nearly choked on his breath, staggered a couple of times, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"The exit leading to the ground is just ahead, only one kilometer away from the train."

The professor put aside his playful thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone get ready, we're about to face the Sarkaz's encirclement. Manfred won't let us leave easily."

Just as everyone was on high alert, waiting for the doctor's specific instructions, they saw the doctor turn his head to look at Shuiyue.

The doctor's tone was more serious and sincere than ever before:

"You'll need to put in more effort in the upcoming battle. To prevent any accidents, why don't you let me keep the game console for you temporarily?"

Chapter 609 Escape from the Sadion District

Like a frightened Amiya, Shuiyue fled from the Doctor's side in three quick steps.

His hand clutched tightly to his pocket, and he said firmly:

"I can do it, Doctor, trust me, I'll go up there right now and devour all those Sarkaz!"

The doctor rubbed his hands together and grinned mischievously:

"Shuiyue, you can understand me. There's a huge dog riot going on up there, and the danger is no less than that of the Great Tranquility. There's nothing I can do about it."

"No need for explanations, I'll get to work immediately."

Shuiyue took off running, rushed to the bottom of the exit, lifted the manhole cover and jumped out.

But the next second, he jumped back in a disheveled state.

"Something terrible has happened! This commotion isn't just caused by Qi Yan and the Blood Demon; a natural disaster has also struck!"

Shuiyue gestured with her hands, vividly describing, "Meteorites, storms, lightning strikes, torrential rain, and even hail—all types of natural disasters have come together!"

Upon hearing Shuiyue's description, everyone's faces turned pale.

Then, Fester immediately thought of something crucial:

"What about the residents inside the city? And what about the self-rescue soldiers on the train who were waiting to pick us up? How are they?"

Shuiyue smiled bitterly:

"The residents are probably in danger. Besides the threat of natural disasters, the Blood Demon is also devouring their blood to deal with Qi Yan."

The train is still there; the self-rescue army hasn't left; they're holding on, waiting for us to join them.

Fester's eyes were a little red.

He turned to look at Luo Luo and said urgently:

"Go to the train and meet the commander, then get the train to leave immediately."

"how about you?"

Lolo was shocked and grabbed Fester's clothes tightly.

“I went to rescue the residents of the Sadien district. They are our fellow countrymen, and I cannot stand by and watch them suffer like this!”

Fester shook off Lolo's hand and resolutely rushed towards the exit.

Many people in the group looked conflicted, and almost instinctively, they took a step forward to follow behind Fester.

But then, two figures blocked their way.

"Doctor, Amiya, what are you doing?" Fester asked anxiously.

"You're just going to your death; it's pointless," the doctor advised, shaking his head.

"Then what is meaningful?" Fester was getting impatient and losing control of his emotions. "I don't want to argue with you at a time like this, but some things have to be done!"

"Calm down, Mr. Fester."

Amiya held Fester's arm, her light blue eyes fixed on him: "I am just as worried about the city's residents as you are, but that's precisely why we must calm down and make the most favorable judgment."

Mr. Qi Yan has no reason to summon a calamity to fight the Blood Demon; he has no need to do so. Furthermore, the Blood Demon has no means to control calamities. Therefore, it's only possible that the calamity was summoned by the Shapeshifter transforming into Eureka.

This barrage of theories left Fester somewhat bewildered:

"So what exactly do you want to say?"

"I think the best course of action for us to save the city's residents is to leave the Sadion district as soon as possible, so that Mr. Qi Yan can act freely and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible!"

Amiya raised her voice and said to Fester and everyone in the team, "Let's gather all our strength, break through the Scourge landing train, and leave the Sadion district."

At that time, Mr. Qi Yan will separate the Sadien District, and the natural disasters summoned by Eureka will naturally leave.

"What about the people in the Sadien district?"

Fester knew his question was somewhat naive, but he couldn't help asking it anyway.

"Only when the Blood Demon is dealt with will the Sardean District be completely safe," Amiya said firmly. "Afterwards, I will contact the Rhodes Island main ship and send a medical team to land in the Sardean District to provide assistance."

Fester pursed his lips, knowing that this was the best solution at the moment.

The rest of the team said nothing more, silently adjusting their formation and preparing to charge onto the ground and advance against the natural disaster.

The doctor looked at Amiya, intending to say something.

But Amiya shook her head and whispered:

"Doctor, I can still handle it. I understand Mr. Qi Yan's behavior. Although we couldn't prevent things from turning out this way, I was somewhat prepared."

You should go and see Miss Vina.

The doctor nodded and went to the back of the group.

Vina was looking down, her fists clenched, her golden hair hanging down, partially obscuring her face.

"It must be painful, Vina," the doctor said softly.

Vina shuddered, raised her head, her eyes filled with sorrow and resentment at her own weakness.

Her lips were already bleeding from being bitten, but she was completely unaware of it.

The doctor took a deep breath and offered some words of comfort:

“I’ve long noticed that you rely heavily on Qi Yan, which is understandable; everyone relies on him. But…”
