Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"What kind of mess is this?" the doctor said regretfully. "I had no choice but to give that white dog some sanity potion, and now we're out of stock. We're too afraid to continue deducing the pattern that we were only halfway through."

The only good news is that these turbulent currents shouldn't tear people apart. May there be fewer poor souls falling freely from this land.

As the doctor clung to the flagpole, wallowing in self-pity, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that a new temporal turbulence was emerging.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

According to his calculations, this turbulence would not affect the transport ship; at most, it would just cause some other items to be thrown out.

The doctor was already used to this kind of situation.

During his time flying, he witnessed flying Originium cannons, half-cut trees, and even a mountain peak brushing past a transport ship.

Just as the doctor was idly anticipating what new tricks he would see this time, he witnessed a familiar white dog being flung out of the turbulent waters.

The two looked at each other, their faces showing joy.

"White-haired dog, you finally had a change of heart and came to save me!" The doctor laughed wildly as he charged toward Qi Yan.

But after running only a couple of steps, the doctor suddenly noticed that the smile on Qi Yan's face was a little strange.

"Wait...no!"

"Oh, man! see you again!"

Qi Yan, still in mid-air, raised his elbow and aimed at the doctor's chest.

Without any warning, the doctor screamed as Qi Yan shoved him away.

Just as the Doctor was about to fall out of the transport ship's range, a bloodline flew over, bound the Doctor's ankles, and pulled him back to Qi Yan.

The doctor, suspended in mid-air, stared at Qi Yan's back and exclaimed in surprise:

Watch out behind you!

Qi Yan turned around in confusion, only to find nothing behind him. Then he felt an itch in his chest.

Turning his gaze away, Qi Yan's golden eyes looked at the doctor kneeling on the ground, clutching his arm, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously:

"There's always a heavenly prisoner who dares to challenge the little white-eyed golden-eyed one."

The professor rolled his eyes, a roll Qi Yan couldn't see, and grumbled as he got up, saying unhappily:

Why did you come here?

"Don't make it."

"So what's the situation on the battlefield now?"

"A hen."

"What about the airship? You must know what kind of airship you've been longing for, right?" the Doctor said angrily. "You must already know that I arranged for Hedley and the others to take advantage of Kal'tsit and the others drawing the Sarkaz's attention to launch a surprise attack on the airship, right?"

Qi Yan: "..."

PhD:"……"

The two stared at each other, speechless for a long time.

Qi Yan shrugged, both amused and exasperated, and said, "You never told me that either."

"So what have you been doing all this time?" the doctor asked.

"Let's go on a date."

Qi Yan touched his palm and grinned like a lecher: "Theresa's hands are so soft and her hair smells so good."

The doctor immediately lost his temper, grabbed Qi Yan by the neck, and shook himself violently:

"I told you to rescue her, not to seduce her!"

Qi Yan looked at the doctor with disdain, noticing that the doctor couldn't push him at all and was instead shaking him until he was panting. He then casually pushed the doctor away.

He turned his head to look at the distance between the transport ship and the ground, and explained:

"Big White relayed your message, and I took it to heart, so I thought I'd make friends with Theresa first."

But our little Te is a bit stubborn; not only does she not need my help, she even CPU-eds me!

"I don't understand," the professor said irritably.

Qi Yan didn't intend for the doctor to understand, so he skipped the topic and said:

"Theresia's tactics are quite effective. You've lost to her. The battlefield is now divided by the Time Beasts, and the Sarkaz are in a favorable position."

Even if the Great White drives away the Time Beasts and restores this land, the Duke's allied forces will still have to face natural disasters while scattered.

Seeing that Qi Yan was getting down to business, the professor also felt a bit of a headache.

He plopped down on the deck, grumbling and muttering:

"Who would have thought that the Sarkaz had such an outrageous trump card? If you ask me, the Sarkaz could have used the power of this behemoth to hide and recuperate. Why did they have to come out and fight?"

"It's most likely because of me."

The doctor was clearly a little confused.

Qi Yan explained, "Behemoths don't stand up for mortals for no reason, especially since this Time Behemoth is one of the worst among its kind at being lazy."

Normally, His help to the Sarkaz would be limited to serving as a supply transport device, a fragile one that would fall apart after a barrage of bombs.

"You mean, it was because of you and that old ancestor beside you that this giant beast took action?" The doctor immediately perked up again.

Qi Yan nodded: "Theoretically speaking, yes. After all, I don't think anyone would be so idle as to get up in the middle of the night to provide support for two ant colonies fighting."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately perked up.

He stood up, placed his hand on Qi Yan's shoulder, and said confidently:

"Send me back to the ground, I'm going to get my revenge on Little Te!"

"It's a bit difficult," Qi Yan said with difficulty. "I don't know where the temporal turbulence will take us if we jump down now."

"I never expected anything from you."

The doctor was not surprised at all and pulled Qi Yan toward the edge of the deck.

He stood at the edge of the deck, his gaze sweeping across the sky like a knife, relentlessly sacrificing his rationality to forcefully continue the deduction that was only halfway done.

Suddenly, Qi Yan stretched out his hand in front of him, with a few small pieces of Originium lying in his palm.

"Just in time."

The professor casually grabbed an Origin Stone, popped it into his mouth, and asked, "Are there any more? Why are they broken like this?"

Qi Yan replied, "Wait for me to tap it twice more."

He turned his head in astonishment and found Qi Yan frantically scratching his white hair, even his tail behind him.

Seeing the doctor looking over, Qi Yan chuckled and explained:

"I'm out of stock, but when I was being swept around by the temporal turbulence, I smashed a few Originium crystals, so some of them are still in my hair."

"You fucking... ugh!"

The doctor immediately knelt down and began to vomit.

Qi Yan crouched down beside him, whispering devilish words:

"I haven't washed my hair for three days."

"I'll fight you!"

The doctor screamed and lunged at Qi Yan again, grabbing his neck and shaking him violently.

"Stop messing around, I'm still waiting for you to take me to rescue the mother cat."

Qi Yan casually grabbed the postdoctoral fellow by the collar, leaped off the transport ship, and used his blood to conjure a pair of crimson wings to control his gliding direction while in mid-air.

The doctor spat twice, but still felt a lingering taste of Qi Yan in his mouth.

He rolled his eyes in disgust, but forced himself to stay on the verge of collapse as he pointed out the way forward for Qi Yan.

Unbeknownst to the two, Theresa emerged from the temporal turbulence from the abandoned half of the transport ship behind them.

"You've reunited. It seems the time for the Sarkaz to retreat is approaching."

Theresa didn't feel any regret; she simply took out an Originium and held it between her fingers, seemingly hesitant.

"Why would they consume Originium? Is this some use of Originium that I haven't figured out?" Theresa frowned slightly. "Should I give it a try?"

After hesitating for a moment, Theresa gave up on this outrageous idea.

She knew the special nature of the Doctor and Qi Yan; if she tried to learn how these two used Originium, she would probably die on the spot and be relegated to the ranks of the souls.

Putting away the Originium from her fingertips, Theresa gazed in the direction Qi Yan had gone, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"Qi Yan, I know you want to save me, but I'm sorry, I'll avoid you."

You have your companions, you have people you value. I am just a new friend destined to leave, not worth your adventure in Originium.

May you find your true self with everyone's support. Goodbye, my new friend.

Chapter 719 Reuniting the Team

Windermere walked across the chaotic battlefield, his expression neither sad nor happy.

After the initial surprise, she quickly adjusted her mindset and carefully assessed her situation.

With their sword guards scattered and having lost Victoria's most advantageous heavy weapon, they were clearly at a significant disadvantage.

The only thing that gave Windermere a sense of relief was that the Sarkaz side seemed to be affected by the power of that behemoth as well.

"That makes sense. If the Sarkaz could really control a giant beast, they wouldn't need to deal with Victoria at all."

Windermere continued forward, lost in thought.

Compared to his immediate predicament, Windermere was thinking about things outside the war.

"Once again, a behemoth has been drawn into the war. This is a crisis, but it can also be an opportunity for Victoria to deter foreign enemies."

Windermere used his saber to deflect pebbles and probe the path, muttering to himself, "Caster, Wellington, I hope you won't make a mistake in this matter. I can hold the frontier for you and wait for you to settle the score, but don't use Victoria to test my bottom line!"

She watched as the pebble she had flung landed safely, then stepped forward and continued on her way.

The battlefield had been disrupted by the power of the behemoths, and had long lost its direction and landmarks, but Windermere had no intention of staying put and waiting for rescue.

After walking for a long time, Windermere took out his pocket watch and, unsurprisingly, found that it had lost its value.

The hour hand of the pocket watch was now moving faster than the minute hand, and the second hand seemed to have been possessed by the compass, pointing firmly in a certain direction.

Windermere clicked his tongue, put the pocket watch back in his pocket, and began to think about other methods of timekeeping.

Before she could come up with an effective solution, the roar of artillery fire suddenly reached her ears.

Windermere turned his head and looked, but found nothing in the direction from which the sound came.

She used her sword to flick up a pebble and send it hurtling away, disappearing into the turbulent current a dozen meters away from her.

"It's Victoria's mobile Originium Cannon firing..."

Windermere stared at the turbulent current for a moment, then resolutely turned and stepped into its area.

After a brief period of dizziness, the sounds of battle became clearer in Windermere's ears.

She found herself in a small, empty battlefield where Victoria's army of about twenty men was fighting a Sarkaz force of about ten.

Windermere's appearance immediately drew the attention of both sides.

Upon seeing Windermere, the soldiers on Victoria's side were immediately invigorated and mobilized their troops to rush towards her location.

The Sarkaz were equally quick; upon discovering that Windermir was clearly the enemy leader, they decisively launched an attack.

"Protect the Duke!" the Victorian soldiers exclaimed in alarm.

Hearing their shouts, the Sarkaz charged even faster.

Windermere: "..."

She didn't criticize anyone; whether her soldiers shouted or not, she would become a target for the Sarkaz if she were alone.

Compared to the Sarkaz's sorcery, Victoria's artillery, while more powerful and faster, was clearly less controllable.

The Sarkaz knew this, so as long as they rushed to Windermere's side, the Victorian soldiers would hesitate to act rashly.

"Unfortunately, I am not a target that needs to be protected."
