Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The doctor was dumbfounded.

Qi Yan laughed wildly and pounced on the doctor, grabbing his neck with both hands, eager to kill him.

Seeing himself in danger and with Shuiyue refusing to help, the Doctor gritted his teeth and shakily reached into his robes.

He then pulled out a carefully packaged seven-colored feather fan, pulled down his mask, and stuck out his tongue to lick the feathers.

"Fuck!!!"

Upon seeing this, Qi Yan let out a blood-curdling scream: "No!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the doctor yanked Qi Yan off him, holding a feather fan and laughing wildly:

"Fortunately, the evil spirits of my Tower of Babel are a cut above the rest. If you dare to be arrogant again, you white-haired dog, today I will perish together with your beloved feathers!"

As he spoke, the professor kept waving the feather fan in his hand, showing off in front of Qi Yan.

"You...you...Qi Lin is so confused!" Qi Yan was so angry that she could barely speak. "How could she be fooled by you and hand over the feather to you?"

"Of course, I promised to help her collect everything about you. I've already secretly put that stray hair you plucked into a sealed bag, just waiting to give it to Qi Lin when we get back!"

The doctor's laughter grew increasingly arrogant.

Qi Yan was completely dumbfounded.

The shapeshifter finally finished dealing with the enemies in the game, and with a spare moment, glanced at the fan in the doctor's hand, and asked in confusion:

Why would Qi Yan be blackmailed by an ordinary fan?

Shuiyue retrieved her game console and continued playing, casually remarking:

"Qi Yan has only two weaknesses: his salary and the Li Boli feather that he longs for."

"...Why aren't the young demon king and Qi Yan's sister included?" the shapeshifter asked, puzzled.

Shuiyue finally looked up from the game console and said seriously to the shapeshifter:

"Those two are not just a matter of fate; they are Qi Yan's fate, or more accurately, they represent the survival of this land."

Shapeshifter: "..."

The Doctor has already reversed the situation with Qi Yan, and now he has the upper hand. He used his feather fan to force Qi Yan to transfer a portion of his shares in Kazdel Nursing Home to him.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and demanded that the doctor must spend a week at the nursing home every month. He also explained in detail what else Qi Lin wanted, and that he would collect it himself and send it to his younger sister without the doctor having to do anything.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly smiled at the same time, put their arms around each other like good buddies, and turned to leave.

Watching the two leave, the shapeshifter seemed to understand something:

"Is this an explanation to us?"

"This is their daily routine. I'm done fighting. You can fight the next monster."

Shuiyue handed the game console to the shapeshifter, who instantly abandoned all thought and focused on the game battle.

Meanwhile, Clovisia was in her room contemplating the Self-Rescue Army's next course of action when she suddenly heard a knock on her door.

"The door is unlocked."

After receiving Clovisia's permission, a member of the Self-Rescue Army entered and reported:

"Commander, you told us to keep an eye on Qi Yan's whereabouts, and he has indeed returned. Do you have something to discuss with Qi Yan?"

"No... I don't want to see him right now."

Klovesia seemed somewhat wary of Qi Yan, shaking her head and saying, "I asked you to keep an eye on Qi Yan's whereabouts just to see if the Doctor's deduction is true..."

Based on this result, it's clear that the Doctor's assumption that Qi Yan had gone to the Norbert District was incorrect. Was this a mistake on the Doctor's part, or is the Doctor still deliberately spreading false information?

The self-rescue army soldiers were puzzled:

"Why would the Doctor do this? What's the point of him spreading false information within the team?"

“Perhaps the Doctor has discovered a restless threat within our ranks,” Clovisia analyzed.

"Could it be a shapeshifter?"

"I can't rule out that possibility, but I think it's not just shapeshifters."

Clovisia sighed with a hint of melancholy: "You don't need to worry about these things too much; this is my task."

I have other tasks for you.

"The Self-Salvation Army is about to withdraw from Londinium and head to Brentwood to find the Sarkaz's supply line," Clovisia calmly instructed. "Doing so will leave the Self-Salvation Army's informants in the city without protection."

The self-defense soldiers quickly understood Clovisia's mission:

"Ms. Heidi is safe now, so you mean Ms. Golding from the school?"

Clovisia nodded: "Take a few people and bring her to the Duke's mansion. For the time being, she doesn't need to continue risking her life to gather intelligence. Also, there are her companions and the children at the school. As the war situation becomes more severe, the school is probably no longer safe. The Duke's mansion is more reassuring."

Remember, the operation must be kept secret. Under no circumstances should the Duke's mansion be exposed. This is our last... hiss!"

"what happened to you?"

The soldiers of the Self-Rescue Army were somewhat puzzled when they saw Clovisia suddenly gasp.

Clovisia stood up somewhat impatiently, frowning as she said:

"Given Qi Yan's temperament, if he comes looking for me himself, would he really lower himself to hide his whereabouts?"

The self-rescue soldiers were stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed drastically:

"The Duke's mansion has been exposed to the Sarkaz?!"

Chapter 652 Fester, a type of wood native to Victoria

Clovisia bit her lip, and after her initial panic, she quickly composed herself.

"Go and ask the doctor about this immediately, and I'll arrange for others to take action."

Clovisia strode toward the door: "Even though the Duke's mansion has been exposed, Qi Yan is still here, so the Sarkaz dare not make any rash moves."

We must race against time; this is a race against the Sarkaz!

"I understand!"

The soldiers of the self-rescue army dared not delay and immediately turned and ran out.

Clovisia walked alone down the corridor toward Fester's room.

Her brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself:

"Given the current situation, leaving the city is indeed the most advantageous option, but do I really have to leave the city as well?"

"Doctor, what are you planning now?"

Before she could even reach Fester's room, Fester himself had already rushed over from the other end of the corridor.

"Commander, I just received a message from the Doctor. Qi Yan's disobedience has become a problem. He has exposed the intelligence that the Self-Rescue Army is hiding in the Duke's mansion."

Fester said urgently, "My suggestion is to take advantage of the fact that Qi Yan is still here and use his intimidation of Sarkaz to leave Lentinium through the underground passage."

Clovisia nodded: "I was just about to talk to you about this."

"You're in charge of the Self-Rescue Army's withdrawal; I'll take care of protecting our informants inside the city."

“I’ll go,” Fester said worriedly. “You’re the commander, you absolutely cannot have any accidents happen. When we get to Brentwood, we’ll need you to continue organizing the self-rescue army.”

“Fester, no one is allowed to have an accident.”

Despite her young age, Clovisia possesses a natural air of authority when she scolds someone.

She stared intently at Fester and said:

"As the commander, I cannot allow myself to pass on dangerous missions to others."

"Go out of the city first, and cooperate well with Rhodes Island outside the city. Listen to the Doctor's advice."

"Hey, why does what you're saying sound like..."

"Say something nice!"

Seeing that Fester's words were getting more and more outrageous, Clovisia finally couldn't hold back anymore and revealed a bit of her girlish willfulness.

Fester shrank back and said with a wry smile:

"It's not that what you said was too scary, but the problem is that the doctor has to go to the Norbert District first before leaving the city."

“A good commander isn’t just limited to managing a small area in front of them.” Klovesia spoke highly of the Doctor. “With the Doctor’s abilities, the scale of his plans far exceeds the limits of our imagination. Of course…”

He also needs some cooperation. You remember mobilizing the best intelligence officers from the self-defense force to accompany the Doctor into the Norbert District.

"Intelligence officer...does the Self-Saving Army have such valuable talent?"

Clovisia immediately looked annoyed.

She used to have a full range of troops under her command, especially intelligence troops, so she never experienced this feeling of being poor and having no one to rely on.

This was the first time they had fought a war with such limited resources, and as the battle lines expanded, Clovisia finally began to feel the strain.

"In short, the plan remains unchanged. The self-rescue army will head to Brentwood first," Clovisia said with a stern face. "Fester, it's time for you to gradually get used to being in charge."

“Me?” Fester was dumbfounded.

"Do you really intend to be a squad leader for the rest of your life?" Clovisia questioned.

"...If possible, I hope that after the war, I can go back to work as a laborer."

Clovisia was once again rendered speechless by Fester's words.

She lowered her head and scratched her hair.

Just as Fester thought the precocious girl was about to say something, he suddenly heard an unexpected word.

"Huh?" Fester asked, puzzled.

"I mean, I'm sorry, it was my thinking that was wrong."

Klovesia tilted her head back: "That Doctor, with his repeated deliberate probing, made me unconsciously want to compete with him, but that really wasn't my intention..."

Perhaps I haven't even realized it myself, but deep down I actually harbor a condescending attitude.

"What are you talking about?" Fester was increasingly confused.

He felt that Clovisia was acting strangely today.

After a moment of silence, Fester suddenly took a half step back and placed his hand on the wrench at his waist.

Klovishia: ?

"Hey, you shapeshifter!" Fester shouted sternly.

Clovisia's eyes widened, and then her face slowly turned red with anger.

"Fester, you idiot!"

Klovesia screamed, stomping her foot angrily, "If I were a shapeshifter, why would I waste my breath talking to you? I would have taken advantage of the fact that no one was around and disposed of you, then impersonated you to go find Lolo!"

This time, it was Fester who was confused:

"I can understand getting rid of me and impersonating me, but why go to Lolo?"

Clovisia: "..."

"You blockhead, go live with your wrench for the rest of your life!"

Clovisia turned and left, leaving a bewildered Fester standing there. He scratched his head with a wrench, then realized what was happening and carefully wiped the wrench on his clothes before putting it back into his tool bag.

After carefully putting away his precious wrench, Fester calmly considered the situation for a moment before turning to look for the doctor.

When he found the Doctor in the villa's living room, he discovered that the Doctor and Qi Yan were sandwiched between a one-eyed Sarkaz man on the sofa, talking about something.

Fester was no stranger to the one-eyed Sarkaz man.

In their previous operations, the Self-Salvation Army had encountered the leader of this Sarkaz mercenary group more than once, each time plunging them into a huge crisis.

Even now, Fester still feels a sense of unreality when he thinks about this Rhodes Island mole planted on the Sarkaz side.

The three people who were talking also noticed Fester and stopped talking at the same time.

Fester immediately stopped in his tracks:

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your conversation. I just have some things I'd like to discuss with the doctor. If it's not convenient for you now, I'll come back later."

Qi Yan laughed with a wicked grin:
