Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Erdo concluded the discussion with a remark.

Qi Yan chuckled and said, "I have already taught you the unparalleled martial arts. Now it's up to you how you use them."

Only you can save yourselves.

“Actually, I was just thinking about something.” Eldo looked at Qi Yan seriously. “Why do you always refer to yourself as ‘you all’ instead of ‘we’?”

Everyone on Rhodes Island says you hate being called a god. You're not one of those gods; you're just an ordinary person like us.

“After all, anyone would be angry if a perfectly normal person were suddenly called a dog,” Qi Yan replied matter-of-factly. “Of course I would be angry, and it also proves that I am a human being, not a god.”

Look at this big white dog next to me; I've said all this to it, and it hasn't said a word."

Eldo frowned. Eldo didn't understand. Eldo's thoughts drifted away.

He vaguely sensed that this wasn't Qi Yan's true thought, or at least not the whole story, but he didn't choose to delve into it further.

The future is long, and he and Qi Yan have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Thinking of this, Eldo stretched and sighed:

"Never before have I felt as confident about the future as I do now."

I believe that the Reunion Movement will gradually find its own path. With Qi Yan's nursing home as an intermediary, the Reunion Movement will reach an initial cooperation with Rhodes Island, and at least they won't have to worry about drugs like they do now.

Speaking of which, my idea for joining the Reunion Movement to franchise nursing homes was inspired by a lot of experience from Rhode Island.

For example, while receiving treatment from the nursing home, we can also work for the nursing home, exchanging our labor for corresponding resources. This can ensure the operation and development of your nursing home while solving the economic difficulties of many infected individuals.

Qi Yan timely poured cold water on the situation:

"It's not that simple. Rhodes Island can continue to operate in this way because Amiya's spirit runs through it. Rhodes Island is a paradise for a group of idealists."

But nursing homes are different. It's very difficult for the integration movement to achieve its reforms through this; so difficult that I'm pessimistic about it.

Reid was finally able to interject and asked:

"With you here at the nursing home, no one should dare to try anything funny just because you give the order, right?"

No explanation was needed; Eldo simply shook his head and said:

Qi Yan's rule relied on power; he had no intention of managing those people, as he had many other things to attend to.

Although Amiya is young, she is a spiritual leader. Rhodes Island may seem loosely organized, but it is more cohesive than any other organization. To be honest, I almost signed a contract to join Rhodes Island a while ago.

"Haha, just kidding."

Eldo waved his hand in comfort, saying softly, "The spirit of the Reunion Movement is no less than that of Rhodes Island."

Reid was still shaken and didn't find the joke funny at all.

He had already experienced enough, including the Reunion Movement being poached by Rhodes Island.

Not only did all the leaders of the Reunion Movement go to the island, but the huge Patriot and the Yeti Princess still haven't returned!

Thinking of this, Reid's gaze towards Qi Yan couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment.

Qi Yan felt a chill run down his spine under Reid's gaze. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and quickly changed the subject:

"Hurry up, we're almost at the walls of Londinium."

Red nodded: "Okay... Hmm? Why are we at the city wall?!"

Qi Yan pointed to the top of the city wall, his smile gradually becoming wicked:

"Of course I'm going to see my good brother Manfred. I need to 'borrow' some money from him."

Red and Eldo couldn't help but shiver when they saw Qi Yan's smile.

On the dilapidated and pitiful walls of Lentinium, Manfred stood solemnly at the edge, gazing out of the city.

This direction faces directly towards Qi Yan's two plots of land for the Ark Nursing Home.

In the open space between the city wall and the nursing home, a figure, though covered in bandages, exuded an undiminished aura of dominance, and was moving forward slowly and steadily.

Manfred gazed at the figure, his palms sweating involuntarily.

At this moment, a Sarkaz soldier cautiously approached and whispered:

"General, I have something very important to report."

Upon hearing this, Manfred suppressed his anxiety and worry, turned his head, and gestured for the man to speak.

The Sarkaz soldier glanced at Manfred's feet and kindly reminded him:

"The city wall is not sturdy at all now, and there is a chance of it collapsing at the edges. General, you should not keep an eye on the Regent from such a dangerous place."

Manfred: "..."

He was a little angry, but he couldn't take it out on the soldier who cared about him.

"This little thing doesn't bother me. Go do what you need to do."

Manfred withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Theresis, adding, "From now on, if anyone causes trouble in the city, leave it to Hadley to handle. Don't bother me."

The Sarkaz soldiers noticed that Manfred was in a bad mood, so they quickly nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

He had only gone halfway when he bumped into another Sarkaz soldier rushing towards him.

"Wait, the general is not seeing anyone for the time being." He quickly stopped his companion.

The Sarkaz soldiers who were stopped were sweating profusely.

"But the Demon King... oh no, I mean Qi Yan, he's heading towards the city wall!"

"Hiss... Something terrible is about to happen... But the general's orders must never be disobeyed... This..."

The Sarkaz soldier, reprimanded by Manfred, panicked and paced around before suddenly having a flash of inspiration: "Go find Hadley! The general said to leave everything to Hadley!"

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

Two Sarkaz soldiers rushed off to find Hedley.

Not long after, Hedley, who was searching through the ruins of his house for Eureka memorabilia and videotapes, received the message.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"They won't die, don't worry about them."

The two Sarkaz soldiers were dumbfounded.

Just as the two were at a loss, Hadley suddenly remembered something and turned to look at them.

The two men thought that Hadley had finally taken the matter seriously, so they held their breath and waited for Hadley's orders.

"Given the current situation in Londinium, no one will cause trouble, and even if they did, the dilapidated city walls wouldn't be able to stop them."

With a serious expression, Hedley pointed to the ruins at his feet and instructed, "Send a group of people over to help me clear the ruins; there is important intelligence in them!"

"……Yes."

The two Sarkaz soldiers were skeptical, but quickly turned and carried out the task.

Before long, the Sarkaz soldiers in the city mobilized and gathered at the ruins of the Hedre House.

The spies from various factions hidden within the city were already on edge because Theresis had gone to the Kazdel nursing home alone, and they immediately noticed the Sarkaz's movements.

"What's going on? Why is the Sarkaz suddenly moving closer to that ruin?"

"Wait, that place... there are rumors that the Shapeshifter Royal Court came from there, transformed into that 'pink unspeakable one,' and then not long after, an unprecedented ultimate catastrophe occurred in Londinium!"

"This is terrible! The Sarkaz are plotting a Cataclysmic weapon with power far exceeding that of the Shard!"

The group of spies, realizing what was happening, were all shocked to the point of turning pale. They did their utmost to relay the message back to their respective factions.

Meanwhile, outside the city, the spies were also thrown into chaos.

"Theresis is approaching Kazdel. What exactly does he want?"

"Qi Yan... Demon King... Kazdel... Theresis... Ah, my head is going to explode, it's too confusing!"

"Therese pulled something out of her pocket... a pink object... wait, pink... ouch!"

"Could it be related to the 'unspeakable pink'?!"

"Quickly, send this message back as fast as possible. Demon King Qi Yan and Theresis have actually been cooperating for a long time. The battle between Demon King Qi Yan and the Grand Prince of the Royal Court was just a pretext to test the power of the 'Pink Unspeakable'!"

"That's right, that's why Demon King Qi Yan immediately and ostentatiously established Kazdel after completing the test!"

The logic formed a perfect closed loop in the minds of the spies from all sides, and then was reported up the chain of command to their superiors.

As the information is reported upwards level by level, this logical loop is gradually refined to near perfection.

"The Demon King Qi Yan has returned to the Sarkaz throne in the guise of a god, leading the Sarkaz Royal Court to use the Fragmented Tower to grasp the ultimate calamity, the 'Pink Unspeakable,' and this land is facing annihilation!"

At a time when various forces were stirring up a storm, Manfred clenched his fists and watched nervously as Tracy easily leaped into the nursing home.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and then heard footsteps behind him.

“Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to disturb me?” Manfred frowned and turned around.

"Then I'll go?"

Qi Yan put his hands behind his back and revealed a bright, dangerous smile.

Manfred, out of service.jpg

The turbulent situation in Lentinium and Manfred's gradually cooling heart seemed insignificant on this vast land.

Outside an unassuming little town in the northern border of Ursus, a team silently lurked in the wilderness, trudging through the pristine white snow.

Jiu turned to look at Talulah beside her: "You said this is your only request, and I hope your choice won't make me regret it."

"Half an hour."

Talulah set a time limit for her actions.

Despite the admonishing looks from his companions, Jiu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to Talulah's request.

Talulah strode alone toward the small town before her, but after only a few steps, she suddenly stopped and took out the brocade pouch from her pocket that made the veins on the foreheads of the Nine and the others bulge.

Talulah took out a slip of paper from her pocket, read it, crumpled it up, put it back in her pouch, and resolutely took her first steps.

(Oops, unexpected, I got carried away petting the cat.)

Chapter 625 The Last Note in the Brocade Pouch

Nine eyes watched as Talulah's figure crossed the snowfield and disappeared into the bustling city.

She instinctively said to the person beside her, "Eldo, don't forget to keep the timer..."

She was halfway through her conversation when she suddenly realized that Eldo was no longer there.

The Reunion Movement member next to her patted her on the shoulder and whispered:

"I'll time it for you."

He nodded at nine o'clock, lowered his eyes, and didn't say anything more.

But the Reunion member couldn't help but ask:

Why does Talulah want to go into the city?

"To find someone, to get an answer."

The Reunion Movement members shook their heads and said:

“I don’t understand. Every time I see Talulah take out that brocade pouch, I suspect that she has been brainwashed by Qi Yan. But since she trusts Qi Yan so much, why doesn’t she just get the answer from him directly?”

I'm worried... what if this is just Talulah's excuse to escape?

Nine shook his head and explained:

“Talulah told me that she was not brainwashed by Qi Yan.”

In fact, after she was captured, Qi Yan didn't have much contact with her. She only used the brocade pouch out of personal feelings and a promise.

The Reunion Movement member was a little confused, but before he could ask any questions, a call came through Nine's communicator.

Nine's expression immediately turned serious: "As expected, the patrol team will appear in half an hour. This route will not be safe. Everyone, stay alert!"

Having finished giving his instructions, Jiu Tiao looked towards the small town in the distance:

"I hope she can come back in time."

"Now, please turn to page 132 of your textbooks."
