Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The name she heard most often these days was Qi Yan.

He possessed unparalleled combat prowess and was severely injured in his battle with Talulah.

With a mind as sharp as a demon, he effortlessly drove hundreds of members of the Reunification Movement to madness.

The doctors in the Reunion Movement's base are now working overtime until the early hours of the morning every day, and they're almost going crazy.

Even his own stubborn old father had a hint of praise for Qi Yan.

When they finally met, she found that while she could understand what the other person was saying, she found it very difficult to comprehend it.

The patriot once again shielded his daughter behind him, stating bluntly:

“I did not attack Qi Lin. Now, I do not want to be your enemy. People of Rhodes Island can leave. I hope you will not attack Yelena in the future either.”

Qi Yan sniffled, moved.

What does it mean for a father's love to be as solid as a mountain?

Patriots have such a hard time speaking, yet he was forced to say such a long thing.

Qi Yan's expression shifted, but his actions were primarily driven by a mischievous urge; he stepped forward, tapped Patriot's shield, and said earnestly:

"Old man, are you really not going to come with me to Rhodes Island to retire?"

Chapter 072 Terra's New Queen of Ten Thousand Women

The patriot paused for a moment, then earnestly refused:

"Like you, we each have our own goals. I respect yours, and I ask that you respect mine as well."

Qi Yan smiled and nodded, saying frankly:

"To be honest, my target is you. Talulah has changed. She is no longer the same person she used to be. I hope to protect the leaders of the Reunion Movement, including you and Frostnova."

I know your personality. Even if I say this, you won't change your mind. I won't try to persuade you either, because I know I don't have the eloquence to do so.

Let's wait until we're on opposite sides before making any judgments.

The patriot did not answer immediately.

Froststar, on the other hand, seemed somewhat surprised.

Qi Yan's opinion coincided with hers; they both believed that Talulah had changed.

But as Qi Yan said, a patriot cannot change his decision because of a few words.

“I accept your opinion. I will personally ask the others. It’s a good thing that they are in your hands.”

The patriot slowly turned around and walked out of the square.

The Yeti team quickly followed Patriot's steps.

They dared not be alone with Qi Yan.

Froststar gave Qi Yan a deep look, then her gaze finally settled back on Qi Lin:

"Looking forward to our next meeting."

Qi Lin nodded silently without saying a word.

Qi Yan looked left and right in astonishment.

How did these two girls fall for each other?

My little sister is actually the queen of all women?

Qi Yan felt a sudden surge of tension.

If this continues, the girl he has his eye on will be snatched away by his own younger sister!

"Little sister, I need to talk to you about something." Qi Yan quickly walked over with an embarrassed smile.

But Qi Lin's face darkened, and she stared intently at Qi Yan:

"You just said you discovered you're immortal, so what did you do to your body?"

Qi Yan shrank back in fright and quickly changed the subject:

“Now that everyone has been rescued, there’s no need to stay in this wretched place any longer. Amiya, you should take everyone and leave quickly, or we’ll miss the last bus.”

Amiya reminded us, "We're traveling in the Guard Bureau's vehicle; Officer Chen is waiting on the outskirts of Chernobog."

"That's them I'm talking about."

Qi Yan said something and pulled the doctor aside.

Then he lowered his voice and asked:

"Do you have any Pure Originium Stones for emergencies? Lend me two; I need to go fight."

The doctor's eyes widened beneath his mask:

"Who are you trying to hit that requires the use of a Pure Origin Stone!"

"Who else could it be but Talulah?" Qi Yan grinned. "My injuries have all healed, so she shouldn't be much slower than me. I'll go beat her up again and keep her at half health so that Amiya won't be unable to defeat her later."

The doctor said with some concern, "Given Talulah's strength, even if you cripple her, Amiya would still have a hard time dealing with her."

Qi Yan snorted:

“Amiya can’t do it now, but I will give her emergency training later.”

The doctor, with some skepticism, reached into his pocket and took out three pure source stones, handing them to Qi Yan.

At the same time, he earnestly instructed:

"I got this from Kal'tsit after I paid an advance on next month's salary, so you should use it sparingly."

"Be content. I can't even get an advance if I wanted to because of the light bulbs in the training room and the hallway that was damaged by the M3. My salary is already three months behind."

Qi Yan put the Pure Source Stone into his pocket and turned to leave.

Qi Lin stood in front of him, asking, "What are you going to do now?"

Faced with Qi Lin's questioning, Qi Yan didn't dare say that he was going to fight Talulah again, and lied, saying:

"I'm going back to find that kid I just fought. He only has three Blade attributes so far, he's too weak. Someone as kind as me has to guide him and get him to Victoria as soon as possible so we can get Fire and Steel."

Qi Lin took a deep breath, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

She didn't understand a word Qi Yan said.

Qi Yan smiled and patted her hair, comforting her:

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I don't need to stall for time this time. I can slip away anytime."

Seeing that Qi Yan was truly determined, Qi Lin put on a stern face, slapped away Qi Yan's mischievous hand, and turned back to Amiya's side.

Meeting Amiya's worried gaze, Qi Yan smiled and waved:

"I'm serious, don't linger here, or you'll really miss the last bus."

As he spoke, Qi Yan exerted force with his feet and easily leaped onto the building outside the square. In a few leaps, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The professor gazed at Qi Yan's retreating figure, then sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"Can't you just act it out? The direction you came from is completely opposite to the direction you left from."

Qi Lin withdrew her gaze and looked at Amiya:

"Leave as soon as possible. Although Qi Yan often talks nonsense, he never speaks nonsense."

Amiya nodded, took out her terminal, and prepared to contact the Guard Bureau.

Before she could even press the call button, Chen dialed first.

Amiya quickly answered the call.

After a brief silence on the other end of the terminal, Chen's solemn voice came through.

"Amiya, I've already evacuated Chernobog... but..."

Amiya quickly replied, "We're doing it too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen sighed and then said apologetically:

"The Reunion Movement has captured a key Guard facility and is forcibly opening the passage between the slums and the outer city."

"Longmen...it's dangerous. I need to get back immediately."

The call ended abruptly, and the connection was immediately disconnected.

The scorching wind of Chernobog swept across the square, and Amiya's wide coat fluttered gently in the breeze.

Her face showed a somewhat bewildered expression.

They were betrayed by the Guard Bureau and abandoned in Chernobog.

"I absolutely must go to Longmen."

Frostnova stood beside Patriot, her face taut, firmly maintaining her conviction.

The patriots seemed somewhat helpless:

"Longmen has Qi Yan, you don't, so you have no chance of winning."

“But there are still so many Reunion Movement comrades in Lungmen, I can’t just abandon them like this.” Frostnova’s attitude was very firm. “I also had plans to give up the conquest of Lungmen. In this operation, I will only rescue people and try to avoid conflict with Rhodes Island.”

Besides, didn't you think highly of Qi Yan? Why are you suddenly wary of him? Is it because of what he just said?

Patriot paused noticeably.

He wanted to say that having faith in Qi Yan and being wary of Qi Yan were not contradictory.

“…That’s not how it works, but I don’t want the two of you to run into each other alone,” Patriot said stubbornly.

Froststar's face tightened further, her tone tinged with displeasure as she said:

"Just as you are determined to maintain the unity of the Reunion Movement, I also want to protect those in the Reunion Movement so that they will not have to experience the pain of being abandoned again."

Let's part ways here. You go to your core city to find Talulah, and I'll go to Lungmen with the Yeti team.

Patriot acquiesced to Frostnova's decision.

He suddenly had a feeling that perhaps sending Frostnova to Rhodes Island, with some reluctance, was a good option.

The surrounding Yeti team watched the arguing father and daughter with a sense of helplessness.

Both father and daughter are stubborn, and neither of them can argue with the other.

Frostnova exhaled a cold breath, feeling her body grow cold, realizing that the backlash from using Originium Arts was taking effect.

She took a candy from her left pocket and put it in her mouth.

The spicy candy provided some relief to her chilled body.

Patriot, seeing Frostnova's actions, wanted to tell her to minimize her use of Originium Arts.

Before he could speak, a roar suddenly came from the core city of Chern City in the distance.

Everyone turned to look and saw Talulah's figure flying straight up into the sky, drawing a perfect parabola before crashing heavily into a pile of ruins.

Chapter 073 A Sad Discovery

Qi Yan stood in the core city command tower, looking at his fist in a daze.

"The power of the purest source stone is so great, it's even more terrifying than the enhancement from the natural disaster!"

At this moment, he felt his blood boiling, and an inexhaustible amount of energy surging within him, so much so that it made him feel uncomfortable. He felt as if he was about to explode if he didn't release it.

More importantly, this time, his body seemed to undergo some kind of adaptive change, and his five senses only strengthened to a certain extent before automatically stopping.

In the distance, Talulah, who had crashed into the ruins and burned off all her belongings, reappeared in Qi Yan's sight, filled with rage.

Anyone could hear the fear mixed with anger in Talulah's voice.

Not only was Qi Yan stunned, but even Talulah was stunned.

She had just caught a glimpse of Qi Yan in the ruins of Chern City, and was so frightened that she didn't even have time to tease him before turning around and running away.

Even after so many days, she can still feel the pain in her body from time to time.

However, Talulah forced herself to suppress her inner turmoil and hid in the command tower, deciding not to go out today.
