Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll get some for you when I have the chance," Qi Yan said confidently.

Both Kadol and Baird were taken aback.

Baird pressed on urgently:

"Do you have a way to get your hands on the drugs?"

Qi Yan raised his chin confidently and said:

Haven't you heard?

"The Rhodes Island team should be arriving in the Norbert District in a few days. I'll take a risk and sneak in to steal some medicine for you."

Kadol: "..."

Baird clutched his head in pain and sighed:

"You'd better not cause trouble. That's Rhodes Island. Haven't you heard about their great battle with the Sarkaz in Londinium City?"

And that guy named Qi Yan... uh?

Baird suddenly paused, looking closely at Qi Yan.

White hair, Luper... but with black eyes, not golden eyes.

After confirming that the guy in front of him did not match Qi Yan's features, Baird breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but find it a little funny.

How could someone as dignified as Qi Yan be so pathetic, even putting on a show of banging his head against the steps in front of him?

Could it be that even the gods cannot escape the law of slipping underfoot on this land?

Do not make jokes.

"Cador, why don't you show them around? I'm a bit tired after running around all day," Baird instructed.

"Drink your medicine first."

Cardol handed over the medicine and watched Baird swallow the blocking medication before letting her leave with peace of mind.

Then Kadol looked at Qi Yan and the man in the formal attire, crossed his arms, and said:

"Don't just stand there, come with me. I'll show you around first and then assign you resting spots."

Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you. This is the 'Chin-Beater' boxing gym, or you can call us the 'Glasgow Gang'.

"I've heard so much about you, so you're the famous Glasgow Gang," Qi Yan immediately complimented.

The man in the formal dress couldn't bring himself to offer any compliments, because in his mind, these street gang thugs made no contribution to society.

But now that he's in trouble, it's this same gang that comes to his rescue.

The man in the formal dress was overwhelmed with complex emotions, feeling that even three papers might not be enough to explain it clearly.

Kadol didn't care about the man in the formal attire's feelings and leisurely led Qi Yan and the other man to familiarize themselves with the surroundings.

"This is the entrance to the warehouse, which contains supplies. It's best not to approach without permission. If you want to take anything, you must ask Daphne first."

"So you just got your medicine?" Qi Yan interrupted.

Kadol's breath hitched, his face gradually turning red, and he mumbled:

“I will explain the situation to her later, and I am doing this for Baird, who is the most senior and veteran member of the Glasgow Gang.”

Waving his hand, Kadol skipped over that one and pointed to the staircase leading to the second floor, introducing it as follows:

"Upstairs is Baird and Defiance's lounge."

"Oh, can I be assigned to the upstairs lounge?" Qi Yan's eyes almost sparkled with excitement.

"Ladies' area, men prohibited!" Kadol practically roared. "What's wrong with you? Your rest area is in an underground parking garage outside the martial arts gym. How could we let you rest here like that!"

"That's it."

Qi Yan's face practically screamed 'regret'.

Kadol's anger surged, and he almost couldn't resist punching Qi Yan.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the martial arts school, followed by a woman's voice from outside:

"Kadol, I'm back. Open the door for me. Who are you arguing with?"

"Go through the window," Qi Yan said familiarly.

The woman outside the door was clearly startled for a moment, then ran to the window and reached out to push the wooden board.

She clearly hadn't expected that the wooden plank on the window was the work of some scholar who wasn't good at manual labor. With too much force, the plank came off on the spot, and half of her body fell into the window.

The wooden plank shattered on the ground, and a petite but well-developed girl with short blue hair, named Film, hung on the window frame, swaying back and forth.

Her small mouth was slightly open, her beautiful golden eyes widened in fright, and her fluffy tail was raised high behind her to maintain balance, its fur slightly ruffled by the accident.

Chapter 664 When Stress Monsters Meet Stress Monsters

"I'm here to save you!"

Qi Yan immediately stepped forward to rescue the stuck kitten.

Unfortunately, a strong hand firmly pressed down on Qi Yan's shoulder.

Kadol, his face beaming, leaned closer and whispered a threat:

"Kid, don't think I can't see through your little scheme. We're all men, so don't try anything funny."

Qi Yan blinked, then suddenly turned to the blue-haired girl named Felin and shouted:

“Defiance, Cardol says you’re petty and always causing trouble, and tells me to leave you alone!”

Kadol: ?!

Defiance nimbly jumped down from the window and landed steadily on the ground.

A hint of doubt crossed her pretty little face:

"Would Kadol say such a thing?"

Cardol breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Daphne had chosen to trust him, but then flew into a rage:

"What's wrong with you?"

Qi Yan chuckled and jumped back two steps, nonchalantly saying:

"Want to put some pressure on you? You're all sweaty, aren't you, bro?"

"Wait a minute, who exactly are you?"

Seeing that Cardol was about to explode, Defion spoke up in time to interrupt his angry outburst.

The man in the formal dress was afraid that Qi Yan might say something strange again while he was acting crazy, so he quickly stepped forward to explain how Baird had taken them in.

Daphne nodded, clearly used to Baird's habit of picking people up from the back.

"Cardol, I didn't have much of a haul this time, only two cans. You can take them to the warehouse later."

Defien took two small cans out of his pocket, tossed them into Cardol's arms, and sighed, "I'm going to rest for a bit, then I have to make another trip. I've found some clues that can help me contact the outside world."

"It's almost dark, are you still going out?" Kadol frowned immediately.

“We must let her… let them outside know about the situation in Norbert District as soon as possible, so that it will be easier for them to come and rescue us.”

Hearing Defiance's explanation, Cardol was not reassured, and even scoffed at it:

“You always rely on those dukes, but when have those nobles ever really cared about us? They've probably already started fighting outside and forgotten about us.”

Rather than pinning our hopes on those unimaginable ducal armies, we should unite our forces and try to resist!

"Wait! If we can contact the outside world, the army will definitely come to rescue us!" the man in the formal dress said urgently, unable to contain himself. "We are citizens of Victoria, and the army will never let us suffer under the enslavement of the Sarkaz!"

Two sneers rang out simultaneously.

Kadol looked at Qi Yan, who had spoken at the same time as him, with some surprise, but the latter didn't even glance at him:

"If they were all commoners, the Duke would be out of his mind to risk his life to save them. So we need to make it public that there are many important people in this area, such as the Duke's daughter and the royal family. We need to put them all on the table."

"Mr. 'Next Academician,' don't look at me like that; you're not worthy of being put on that list."

Man in formal attire: "..."

After hearing Qi Yan's suggestion, Dai Feien's expression turned somewhat strange, as if she had thought of something.

But she quickly concealed that expression and shook her head, saying:

“I believe… I believe the Duke will come to save us. There’s no point in arguing about this now. We need to find a way to communicate and get the situation out of here.”

After saying that, she didn't go back upstairs. Instead, she went straight to the old sofa in the lobby, clearly intending to rest there temporarily before continuing her work.

Kadol lost interest in continuing to show Qi Yan and the other two around the area and said impatiently:

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the underground parking garage to rest… Rupert, you’ll stay and keep watch with me tonight. Don’t even think about trying anything funny under my nose.”

Qi Yan stroked his chin and asked:

Do you ever sneak in a nap when you're on night duty?

Even though Qi Yan was just asking a simple question, Kadol seemed to have hit a sore spot, and his face gradually turned red.

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I would never make that mistake!"

"That's good. I'll feel at ease sleeping if you don't go to sleep."

"What's with your *Victoria* swearing?!"

Kador's temper flared up, and he raised his fist to lecture Qi Yan about the 'principles' and 'rules' of the martial arts school.

Qi Yan had already slipped to the window a moment before the other party raised his fist, and nimbly flipped over and jumped out of the window.

The man in the formal attire quickly intervened to mediate and barely managed to suppress Cardol's anger.

As the three headed to the underground parking garage, the man in the tuxedo watched Qi Yan and Kador argue every now and then, and he felt his head was about to explode.

The thought that these two sworn enemies would have to stand guard together that night made the man in the tuxedo even more worried.

Who knows, before the danger outside even appears, these two might end up killing someone... Oh wait, that kid Luper can heal himself, so maybe no one will die, but who knows if one of them will break an arm or a leg and the other will have an Oripathy outbreak after one night.

"How about the two of us take the night shift again tonight?"

The man in the formal attire tried to persuade Cardol.

Regrettably, with little success.

Kadol glanced coldly at the man in the formal dress and snorted:

"I brought this kid along not only because I was worried about him, but also because he's capable of fighting. What could you do if you encountered thugs trying to break into the martial arts school?"

Are you asking me to go up there and use my academic knowledge to verbally attack the other side?

"I...I don't know how to swear," the man in the formal dress said awkwardly.

"Pshaw, so what's the use of you academics?"

Cardol made no attempt to conceal his disgust for nobles and the rich in his words.

The man in the formal attire had suffered countless setbacks in recent days, with today being the day with the most, which was causing him to break down mentally.

But considering that he was currently living under someone else's roof, the man in the formal attire had no choice but to swallow his rebuttal.

"Hey, you can even see a martial arts gym here."

Qi Yan suddenly spoke, interrupting the man in the formal dress's thoughts, causing him to instinctively turn around and look.

He saw the flickering candlelight behind the martial arts school window and several figures walking by.

“Cardol, didn’t you say…the people you took in were resting in the underground parking garage?” the man in the tuxedo asked instinctively. “But those people, you took them in too, right? They’re clearly not people like you from the streets.”

Kadol clicked his tongue softly and said coldly:

Only a portion of the people remained at the martial arts school.

The man in the tuxedo opened his mouth, realizing that he had been brought out because of Kadol's personal choice.

His identity displeased Kadol, who was unwilling to let him stay in the martial arts school.

As for that kid Rupert next to him... he's probably just too talkative and has really offended Cardol.

Qi Yan clearly didn't dwell on that, and simply asked:
