Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Vina glanced at the empty deck.

Most of the Sarkaz led by Manfred were lost here, and the remaining scattered forces were also consumed in the melee during the ongoing turbulence.

"Never underestimate the enemy, at any time," the doctor said solemnly.

Windermere, panting, knelt on the ground, using his sword to support himself and prevent himself from collapsing completely.

Two shapeshifters were still slowly approaching her.

Windermere had noticed the disappearance of the temporal turbulence and the return of natural disasters, and he also noticed that the soldiers who had charged the ships were rapidly retreating.

Without needing anyone to report, she had a pretty good idea of ​​the warship's fate.

“Compared to my command, the Sarkaz seem to have even less right to accuse me of sending my soldiers to their deaths,” Windermir sneered.

"This is war."

The shapeshifter returned Windermere's words to him.

"Do you think this will lead to victory in the war?" Windermere, though exhausted, was still full of vigor. "It is indeed an excellent tactic to lure the enemy, but you have too few troops. The balance of the war has inevitably tipped in Victoria's favor."

The two shapeshifters did not continue the pursuit; instead, they bent down in unison, picked up stones, and threw them at Windermere's head.

Windermere: ?

The shapeshifter watched as the pebble struck Windermere's forehead, a satisfied smile spreading across its face.

His two forms began to show signs of melting, while he calmly stated:

"This war has never been fair from beginning to end. You don't need to hold a grudge against us. Your soldiers will survive."

"What do you mean?" Windermere asked, puzzled.

The shapeshifter did not give a reply, but simply looked up at the sky, watching Qi Yan's figure fall through the natural disaster.

"We should go."

The shapeshifter's body completely dissolved and melted into the ground.

Just as they were about to disappear completely, the fluid suddenly transformed into green spikes and attacked Windermere.

The blade and the spike collided, sparks flying.

Windermere never let his guard down and easily blocked the shapeshifter's final sneak attack.

Chapter 724 The Payslip That Was Repeatedly Whipped at

"It's a real shame that we couldn't completely incapacitate you."

The shapeshifter vanished completely from Windermere's sight, leaving only a sigh-like murmur: "Sarkaz, always losing."

Windermere sensed the shapeshifter's complete disappearance and confirmed that the other party had truly left this time.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt the pain surging through her body rushing into her mind.

Even with her strong willpower, she couldn't help but let out a low, painful groan.

"Perhaps you need some help."

Kal'tsit walked to a spot not far from Windermere and extended a healing invitation.

Windermere glanced warily at Kal'tsit, then at M3 chasing after the shapeshifter fluids, wondering if someone who could control such a terrifying monster was skilled at healing others.

As he was pondering this, Windermere witnessed Kal'tsit turn her head and skillfully fire ammunition with the medical gun in her hand.

The green medical bullet flew past Huang, who had been flung away by the shapeshifter, and grazed Thorn, who was hiding and injecting himself with a recovery serum, before accurately hitting M3, who had been hit on the head by a pebble from the shapeshifter.

A green medicinal mist, meant to heal external wounds, enveloped M3's head. The latter impatiently shook its head and continued playing with the shapeshifter.

Windermere: "..."

She was still unsure of Kal'tsit's medical skills, but she was certain of her marksmanship.

Despite the great distance and the presence of numerous companions, it was able to accurately hit the summoned creature whose skin had been scraped!

Is it really okay to ignore your injured teammate like this?

“Please don’t worry.” Kal’tsit reloaded the medical gun. “The shapeshifters didn’t intend to kill us; they’re just stalling for time. This is a good opportunity for those young people to hone their skills.”

Windermere gave a wry smile and reminded him:

"The current situation is clearly not suitable for training young people. This is a battlefield, and that ship..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was startled by what she saw and stopped herself from speaking.

The warship, paralyzed directly beneath the calamity cloud, was enveloped in a torrent of blood gushing from its deck, as if it were alive.

Qi Yan's signature white hair stood out starkly against the crimson blood-covered warship. He stood with his arms crossed at the edge of the deck, and the warship beneath him began to move under the weight of the blood, its speed increasing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it broke free from the lock of the natural disaster cloud and charged headlong toward Silverstone Cliff without hesitation.

Windermere's throat was a little dry.

She had also received intelligence that Qi Yan had used blood to carve up the city of Londinium and single-handedly suppressed the Blood Demon Lord.

No matter how realistic the intelligence records are, they can't compare to the shock of witnessing it firsthand.

The shock of Qi Yan's actions far exceeded even the temporal turbulence that enveloped the battlefield with skeletal behemoths.

After all, one is a bizarre method whose nature cannot be understood, while the other is a powerful force that is truly happening right before our eyes.

Kal'tsit silently watched Qi Yan depart with his blood on the ship, shaking her head helplessly.

It's uncontrollable, and there's no way to control it.

Let's deduct another year's salary from Qi Yan's pay later.

This can be considered making money in a certain sense, making money for Rhodes Island and for Qi Yan.

After silently condemning Qi Yan's paycheck to death in her heart, Kal'tsit withdrew her gaze and raised the medical gun in her hand to Windermere.

Windermere lowered his guard and sat helplessly on the ground to receive treatment from Kal'tsit.

Amiya and the others also gathered around.

Those shapeshifters who were entangled with them, upon discovering that Qi Yan's target was Silverstone Cliff, decisively abandoned their pursuit and rushed to Silverstone Cliff to watch the spectacle.

On the battlefield, the soldiers were also bewildered after Qi Yan took the warship away.

They never dreamed that things would end like this.

Then a figure named Aslan, wielding the Breath of Kings, appeared and slowly walked to an open area.

Vina didn't say anything; she simply stood there and became the center of attention.

As a national swordswoman, the crown prince, and someone who personally leads her troops into battle, Vina's various identities and experiences have unconsciously given her a unique aura.

The doctor and the others followed Vina, silently watching her back as she held the sword.

Until Vina turned around and said to the Doctor:

"It's time to retreat. The hidden dangers of the warships have been resolved by Qi Yan, but the natural disasters have not disappeared; they just won't erupt here in one place."

I need...we need the doctor's advice and guidance.

The doctor didn't rush to speak, but carefully observed Vina's expression at that moment.

The girl who used to always ask others for advice when faced with problems has finally begun to learn to make her own judgments and have her own will.

Vina's judgments may still be somewhat immature and could put her in danger, but this is just a necessary trial in the process of growing up.

Even the Doctor himself, or Windermere, can be outmaneuvered in their encounters with enemies.

Compared to Vina, they were simply more composed and adaptable. What Vina needed now was time and time to reflect.

“Go find Windermere,” the doctor said.

Vina nodded, looked away, and led the way toward the location of Windermere and the Rhodes Island group.

The soldiers quickly assembled and followed closely behind Vina.

"By the way, has the speed at which the natural disaster cloud has slowed down?"

Mandela suddenly tilted his head back and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Qi Yan secretly took action to resolve the natural disaster cloud?"

“It’s terrible to be uneducated,” the professor murmured beside her. “It’s a sign of impending natural disaster.”

"What are you yelling for? Run!"

The Doctor sprinted off towards Amiya's location, while Amiya also rushed towards him.

An unprecedented thunderclap exploded.

Everyone on the battlefield felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a tingling, electric-like sensation on their skin and hair.

When the lightning strike ended, people discovered that a patch of scorched black earth, several meters in diameter, had appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield.

The lightning strike seemed to be a signal, giving people no time to react. A second lightning bolt struck, followed by a third, and a fourth...

Before the narrow entrance to Silverstone Cliff, Qi Yan stood on the warship he had just picked up, calmly looking at the battlefield ravaged by natural disaster.

Qi returned to his side quietly after the time turbulence ended, but Qi Yan did not choose to ask Him to dispel the natural disaster, nor did he try to use his own power.

"Big White, are you sure you haven't been scammed?"

Qi Yan asked the air beside him, "You're too honest. I don't feel safe leaving you out in the world. What if you run into a monster?"

The wisp of cold wind surrounding Qi Yan paused slightly, then moved away from him as if throwing a tantrum.

Seeing this, Qi Yan chuckled and reassured her:

"I'm not saying you're stupid, it's just that you can't see the heart of a giant beast... no, that guy doesn't have a belly, so he doesn't have a heart either."

I mean, can this kind of thing be simulated in the future?

A calm voice rang out from the cold wind: "I have finished reading the book 'Time and the Quantum Realm' that you gave me a few days ago. Although some of the insights are a bit superficial, it is enough for me to understand some information."

"What does this have to do with that book?" Qi Yan asked, puzzled.

"The country called Columbia has a deep understanding of giant beasts and has even come into contact with authority with the will of mortals. They put forward a theory in this book."

Qi said slowly, "When the future is observed, it will collapse and become real, or... become an illusion."

According to this theory, given sufficient conditions, one can rewrite reality through personal will.

Qi Yan gasped sharply, then shook his head:

"That's amazing, but what if I didn't understand it?"

Chapter 725 Wishing Well Service

On the warship, Qi Suohua, amidst the swaying cold wind, was not surprised by Qi Yan's reaction.

If Qi Yan really followed His train of thought and offered a bunch of insights, then He would begin to doubt whether He had unintentionally fallen under the illusion of the Time Beast.

“In the future He foresaw, this war would temporarily end with the fall of a one-eyed lord,” Qi said slowly.

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow: "It's almost like we just need to print out the cat mom's ID number."

Qi didn't reply, and continued speaking to himself:

"We hope to use your influence to try and observe future changes."

"I hope nothing really happens?" Qi Yan asked worriedly.

"He did not leave."

"I'd better be careful." Qi Yan didn't intend to stop them. "We finally managed to save the mother cat, and I wanted to see them reunite and go home together."

It was rare to see Baymax not so lazy, so Qi Yan didn't mind personally taking charge to satisfy some of its curiosity.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt Qi's somewhat surprised gaze fixed on him.

"Don't look at me like that," Qi Yan said with a smile. "The cat mom can't come back to Rhodes Island with me. She has her own responsibilities to take care of."

"Well, it's all up to you."

The man and the wolf fell silent, observing how things would unfold.

Not long after the silence began, Qi Yan suddenly heard a faint sound coming from behind him. He turned his head to look at the entrance to Silverstone Cliff.

A Victorian scout squad sneaked out to gather intelligence, only to run right into Qi Yan's Blood Warship.

"Oh no! The Blood Demon Lord is attacking!"

The scouts, seeing the warship shrouded in blood, didn't dare look any longer. They cried out in alarm, turned tail, and ran.
