Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

If it fails, Qi Yan will have no choice but to take action himself.

He turned to return to the martial arts school, waiting to see if the 'seed of miracle' he had planted would sprout.

As he turned around, Qi Yan noticed the cover of the top book among the books Sarkaz had collected, and on a whim, he bent down and picked it up.

"Yo ho, Time and Quantum Realm, from Columbia."

Qi Yan casually flipped through the book and slowly walked back.

Despite having rested all night, Baird was still feeling somewhat tired as he slowly walked down the stairs.

Almost simultaneously, Daphne, who had been searching for clues about the communicator all night, dragged her tired body back to the martial arts gym.

Both of them heard Kadol's furious roar at the same time:

"This is the miracle you're talking about? I must be out of my mind to believe a lunatic like you!"

"Are you sure this isn't a miracle?" Qi Yan held up the book he had picked up last night. "This is proof that human power has touched the power of the gods."

"What the hell? Who are you trying to scare?" Kadol almost laughed his head off.

The man in the formal dress frowned, stepped forward to borrow the book, and began to read it intently.

Two minutes later, he solemnly returned the book to Qi Yan:

"can't read."

Qi Yan: "..."

Kadol's laughter grew increasingly unrestrained:

"Look, even the 'next academician' isn't on your side, what excuse do you have left?"

Qi Yan rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with this guy, and casually tossed the book aside into thin air.

"Big White, this is for you."

The books vanished into thin air, and everyone present, except for Qi Yan, was affected by an inexplicable force, completely ignoring this bizarre scene.

Baird rubbed his temples, exchanged a glance with Defien, and the two of them came over one after the other to persuade Kador and Qi Yan.

“Don’t take it personally with Cardol; he’s certainly illiterate,” Baird sighed. “But you just talked about that hierarchy of needs theory yesterday, and you’re making the same mistake again today.”

What we need right now is food and medicine; other things are not so important.

"I couldn't find the medicine, but when I came back yesterday, some 'kind people' gave me their last bit of food."

Qi Yan rummaged through his pockets and pulled out several crumpled, empty plastic packages; the food inside had vanished.

"Oh, I was reading a book last night and used these to pass the time," Qi Yan explained.

Baird: "..."

She really had a headache with Qi Yan's personality.

Seeing that Defiance had already calmed Cardol down, Baird didn't want to elaborate further and casually said:

"Food is scarce right now. Next time we collect food, we shouldn't rush to eat it all. We should wait until we're really hungry before eating it to prolong our survival time as much as possible."

"I don't think it'll work," Qi Yan retorted.

"What?" Baird clearly couldn't understand what Qi Yan meant.

Seeing that Baird didn't understand, Qi Yan coughed lightly and started his explanation:

"The Norbert District has now collapsed and has reverted to the most primitive resource-plundering survival mode. Under such circumstances, an extreme phenomenon will emerge."

The strong control more and more resources and become stronger, while the weak are constantly exploited and eventually perish. When too many people die, the living environment will completely disappear, and in the end, the strong will only live a few more days.

To truly prolong the lives of the people in Norbert County, a new distribution method must be adopted, a new order established, and resources forcibly redistributed to ensure everyone has a chance to survive.

“Yes, that’s right, that’s exactly it!” The man in the tuxedo was the first to stand up in support.

Just as Kadol had been calmed down by Defiance, he couldn't help but burst into mockery again after hearing this remark:

"You two have really gone mad from reading too much. Do you think people will obediently listen to you just because you spout some nonsense?"

"First, I didn't even graduate from high school, so there's no such thing as me being stupid from studying too much."

Qi Yan retorted seriously with a straight face: "Secondly, I never thought of completing this task on my own, so last night I went to the Sarkaz and discussed this theory with one of their smart people."

Sarkaz was satisfied and decided to begin mandatory supervision of everyone from that day forward, collecting all resources for redistribution based on labor.

Defiance: ? ?

Baird: ? ? ?

The man in the formal dress rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

"You bastard, what have you done!"

Kadol's anger erupted completely. With a roar, he shoved Daphne aside and punched Qi Yan.

Although Baird was also somewhat furious at Qi Yan's actions, he still stood in front of Qi Yan immediately.

Not wanting to hurt Baird, Kadol gritted his teeth and forced himself to stop.

Before the two could say anything, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

The next second, the martial arts gym door was pounded on:

"Open the door! Dean Sarkaz's special operations team!"

Chapter 667 Kadol covers the rear? Kadol gets beaten up!

The previously cluttered room fell silent, with only the knocking on the door growing louder and the urging voices becoming increasingly impatient.

"Don't even think about hiding. We came from the underground parking garage. They've already told us this is your hideout!"

Baird and his companions' faces immediately turned extremely grim.

Kadol was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust. He glared at Qi Yan fiercely, but for the moment he couldn't care less about getting angry.

He turned to Baird and lowered his voice:

"You guys get out through the back door, I'll do my best to stall for time here!"

Baird decisively rejected the plan:

"No matter how good you are at fighting, there's a limit. You can handle ordinary people, but you're definitely no match for a Sarkaz squad!"

Qi Yan tried to interject: "There's no need to fight..."

"I'll go get some food and water. We'll go together if we have to."

As usual, Dai Feien interrupted others' pre-cast animation and turned to rush towards the warehouse.

"There's no time to get supplies at a time like this!" Baird scolded. "Everyone, follow me to the second floor immediately. We can jump from the window to the roof across the street."

"Open the door, I'll give you three last counts!"

Sarkaz delivered his ultimatum from outside the door.

Knowing there was no time to lose, Kadol bent down and carried the man in the formal dress who had fainted from fright.

Baird also grabbed Qi Yan, who was about to walk towards the door, and said urgently:

"Don't be foolish again! That's a Sarkaz! Come with us!"

"Hey, no... listen to me... hey!"

Before Qi Yan could explain anything, he was pulled so hard that he almost lost his shoes, and was completely forced to be dragged up the stairs by Baird.

His exclamation also caught the attention of Sarkaz outside the door.

"If the people inside want to escape, just break down the door!"

"That voice sounded familiar. Never mind, you guys move aside, I'll handle it!"

With a muffled thud, the dojo's main door was kicked and deformed by Sarkaz's terrifying power, but it was blocked by the obstacles that Kadol had piled up behind the door.

Sarkaz outside the door clicked his tongue and continued kicking the door.

Kadol, who was at the very back of the stairs, glanced back and his heart sank to the bottom.

Given the condition of the door, it certainly wouldn't last long. There wasn't enough time for them to evacuate the martial arts school, not to mention that there were several civilians they had taken in.

With this in mind, Kadol made a snap decision and suddenly threw the man in the tuxedo on his shoulder up to the second floor.

"Kardor, don't do anything foolish!" Baird realized something and turned around to shout.

“We have to make a choice!” Cardol was also annoyed. “Don’t put on this show of being reluctant to part with something. Didn’t you used to hate this kind of plot when we watched movies?”

After saying that, Kadol exerted force with his feet and destroyed the stairs.

His body fell down the stairs to the ground floor, then he quickly got up, picked up the old sofa, and rushed towards the door.

Both Baird and Defiance wore expressions of pain.

I said, there's no need, there's really no need.

Qi Yan said with a wry smile, "Can't you let me say something?"

"Now is not the time to talk. I have no intention of blaming you. If you want to explain, wait until it's safe to do so."

Baird pushed Qi Yan through a door in the second-floor corridor.

"I TM..."

Qi Yan broke down on the spot, but before he could finish, he fell into the doorway.

Baird turned and grabbed Defiance again: "You jump out first to help the others, I'll go and gather everyone in the martial arts gym into this room!"

A deep, resonant shout suddenly rang out.

Qi Yan, chewing on a fragment of Originium, jumped back out of the door and gestured warily at Baird:

"You little purple kitten, I, Qi Xiaobai, would call you the strongest. You are also the first person who made me have to activate my golden eyes to speak to you."

Baird and Defiance were dumbfounded.

"Are you Qi, Qi Yan?" Dai Feien asked in a trembling voice.

Qi Yan: "..."

Excellent, one seat in the bridge VIP section!

At this moment, Defiance had no idea what the future held for her. She turned to look at Baird in disbelief:

"How did you manage to pick this up?!"

Baird did not speak.

It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but rather that she was so shocked that she lost the ability to organize her thoughts.

What on earth did I pick up?!

Baird suddenly wondered if he was dreaming, and raised his hand to slap himself to confirm reality.

The palm wind brushed against his face, but failed to land.

Qi Yan appeared in front of Baird in the blink of an eye, easily grasped her soft hand, and said in a bubble voice:

"Baby, promise me you won't hurt yourself, okay?"

Qi Yan's face was very close to Baird's face, so close that Baird could feel Qi Yan's breath and warmth.

Baird's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot, falling backward to join the man in the tuxedo.

Qi Yan was a little confused, so he reached out and hugged Baird to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.

"Am I that handsome?" He turned to look at Defiance. "So handsome that he made people faint?"

Defiance's petite body trembled slightly:

"Is it possible that she fainted because you scared her?"

Qi Yan: "..."

Good boy, you're very honest. As a reward, you'll get an extra day of your premium bridge seat!

At this moment, the sounds of fighting could be heard from the first floor. Kadol's roar of fearlessness echoed, and for a moment, the Sarkaz were stunned.

The Sarkaz tried to explain, but were repeatedly interrupted by things thrown at them by Kadol, which fueled their anger and made them fight even more fiercely.

"Heh, is this your Glasgow Gang's faction skill?" Qi Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
