Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

She noticed that her face felt hot.

This feeling puzzled Biura, and she subconsciously reached out and touched her face.

It's confirmed, An Meng slapped my face so hard it's swollen!

Chapter 782 Fight, Grandma!

The flames scorched everything in front of them.

Jiu tightly closed her eyes and shielded Ato in front of her. She could clearly feel the impact of the explosion engulfing her, but found that she felt no pain at all.

This surprised Jiu, who opened her eyes and turned around to look.

She saw Talulah's familiar back.

"are you OK?"

Talulah wiped the blood from the shrapnel wounds on her face and gently patted out the flames burning on her body.

Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately said urgently, "Withdraw some distance from the front line first. Ato is injured and must be sent for treatment immediately."

“I’m leaving it to you. I’ll guard this place,” Talulah said firmly.

"Don't be reckless. The urban warfare in the rear is our advantageous battlefield!"

“I know, but this is the Integration Movement… no, this is the home of many oppressed people.”

Talulah turned to look at the soldiers charging towards her, brandishing Originium bombs, and said calmly, "We need a fire to ignite the seeds buried deep in everyone's hearts."

In this battle, we must not only win, but win absolutely and decisively!

Qi Yan is the nursing home's brand, but we cannot rely entirely on people's personal following and faith in Qi Yan. Otherwise, situations like today's, where even a small setback can shake the morale of the nursing home, will continue to occur.

"But……"

“No buts, Jiu. It’s not just for a spark of ideals; rationally speaking, I can’t back down either.”

Talulah interrupted Nine's speech, insisting, "Even if street fighting is to our advantage, it cannot withstand the enemy's overwhelming force. I must stand here to divert the enemy's troops for Amon and the others."

Tell Amon and the others that as long as my flame remains burning, we will not lose this war!

Talulah uttered her last words, drew her longsword from her waist, gripped the hilt with both hands, and charged fiercely towards the soldiers.

The burning blade danced, its flames burning away all the suffering before the warrior's eyes.

Jiu turned her head and glanced at Ato, whose gaze was somewhat dazed.

She knew that Atto had finally realized that he had lost the voice of the world.

Jiu didn't speak, but simply squeezed Ato's wrist tightly.

Feeling the force on his wrist, Ato forced a smile and unconsciously roared:

"You go help Talulah. I can manage. My legs can still carry me!"

Jiu did not answer, but forcibly pulled Ato deeper into the nursing home.

Flames soared into the sky behind the two.

Talulah's eyes were filled with determination as she brandished her longsword, flames engulfing the soldiers before her.

In the distance, Talulah noticed a soldier with a crossbow lurking in a corner, aiming at Jiu and Ato. She decisively condensed a fireball and hurled it at him.

In that brief moment of distraction, a large number of Originium bombs broke through the flames and were thrown at her feet.

The impact of the explosion sent Talulah flying. She rolled twice on the ground before getting back to her feet and found that the soldiers had already adjusted their tactics.

They split into several small teams, keeping their distance from Talulah and taking turns throwing bombs, while soldiers further away continued their charge into the depths of the nursing home without looking back.

Anger surged within Talulah's dazzling dragon eyes.

“Black Serpent, perhaps you are indeed an excellent teacher,” Talulah said softly. “Today, let me put your teaching methods into practice.”

Flames transformed into rolling heat waves that lifted Talulah's body. She raised her longsword with both hands and swung it down with all her might at the soldiers.

An unprecedented heatwave erupted from Talulah's body, transforming into a rain of fire that poured down from the sky.

The orange-red flames dispersed some of the dark clouds in the sky.

The soldiers were stunned into a daze by the horrific scene before them, and in their despair, they were powerless to resist, turning into a rain of fire with cries of agony.

It wasn't until these soldiers were dying that they finally recalled the description of Talulah from the documents.

The endless rain of fire seemed to have no end, reaping lives on the edge of the nursing home while protecting the home behind Talulah.

But only Talulah herself, who unleashed the fire rain, knew that she was nearing her limit.

"That's not enough! This is far from enough!"

Talulah's floating figure swayed slightly as she gritted her teeth and scanned the battlefield, discovering that enemy troops were still pouring up from the nursing home.

No matter how wide her fire rain covered, it couldn't stop some of the surviving enemy troops from breaking through her defenses.

And this number of soldiers wasn't just guarding the side she was protecting; enemy troops were also attempting to bypass the nursing home from the other three directions.

Just as Talulah was preparing to forcefully disperse some of the fire rain to support the other three directions, a cold wave erupted in one of the directions of the nursing home.

"Froststar..."

Talulah breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that Frostnova's Originium Ice Crystals were already in place, and that Frostnova's abilities in positional warfare would not be much weaker than hers.

However, there are still two directions that are in danger of being breached.

Talulah turned around, preparing to disperse some of the fire rain to provide support.

But at the crucial moment, a piercing pain suddenly shot through her arm without warning, and this irresistible pain quickly spread throughout her body.

"Oripathy flared up at this time... Was I pushing myself too hard?"

Talulah fell awkwardly from the air, half-kneeling on the ground, her body drenched in sweat from the intense pain, which was then instantly evaporated by the high temperature emanating from her body.

When the enemy troops who landed at the nursing home noticed that Talulah was not in good condition, they immediately accelerated and rushed towards her.

Talulah pulled out a syringe that Frostnova had given her earlier, gritted her teeth, and plunged it into her arm.

"I hope that the second drug Frostnova gave me is really as miraculous as she described."

After injecting all the medicine from the syringe into her arm, Talulah forced herself to raise her longsword once more.

Then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Talulah could clearly feel that as the drug entered her body, the pain in her body subsided at an astonishing speed.

Talulah suddenly became a little greedy.

The current situation also forced her to be greedy; with her current recovery speed, she simply couldn't withstand the endless waves of enemy troops surging forward.

Talulah took out the remaining two vials of the second drug she was carrying, and she gritted her teeth, preparing to plunge them both into her arm.

"Calm down, Talulah!"

A woman's voice suddenly came from the horizon.

Immediately following was a whooshing sound as it rapidly approached.

A massive mech descended from the sky and crashed onto the battlefield in front of Talulah. The terrifying impact instantly cleared a large vacuum area from the enemy soldiers.

A blazing lightsaber, nearly ten meters long, extended from the mech's arm. As the mech swept across, the number of soldiers around it, caught off guard, instantly doubled.

"You are...Ms. Catherine?!"

Talulah finally recognized the voice coming from inside the mech, and her face was filled with astonishment.

The mech sheathed its power lightsaber, its body emitting a series of clanging mechanical friction sounds, and countless menacing cannon barrels burst open.

The soldiers who rushed up were all dumbfounded.

They had never seen such outrageous war machines in their lives.

Then, there was no more.

All the soldiers in Talulah's sight were reduced to dust under the barrage of the mechs' firepower.

"Hehe, it seems that this old woman is not senile after all. At least I still remember the basic operation of the steam mech."

Catherine's voice came from the cockpit: "You young people shouldn't be too reckless. This isn't just your home, it's also the home of us old guys."

Talulah couldn't help but chuckle.

However, her laughter aggravated her injuries, causing her laughter to become intermittent and spasmodic.

Catherine: "..."

Talulah is a wonderful child, except for her laugh, which is quite frightening.

Realizing that her laughter sounded a bit strange, Talulah quickly stopped laughing.

There was a moment of silence between them, then Talulah awkwardly changed the subject:

“Ms. Catherine, I will no longer act impulsively, but the situation is still very critical.”

"Could you please go and support the other side of the battlefield? If the enemy lands from multiple directions, the nursing home will have a hard time resisting."

"no problem."

Catherine readily agreed: "I will take care of cleaning up one side of the battlefield. Don't worry too much about the last side. That little guy named Shattered Bones is ready."

"As long as the enemy forces penetrate deep into the heart of the nursing home, he guarantees he and the other two kids can give those bastards a surprise."

"I'm counting on you guys."

Talulah nodded vigorously.

Catherine didn't waste any time chatting; she piloted her mech into the air and headed straight for the other side of the battlefield.

Before she even arrived, the artillery barrage began, unleashing a devastating attack while she was still in mid-air, leaving the ground in ruins wherever her mechs passed.

Talulah's eyes twitched slightly as she watched her grandmother enter battle mode.

"Why does it seem like the destruction she caused was even more exaggerated than that of the enemy?"

Shaking her head, Talulah banished this trivial matter from her mind.

A house can be rebuilt if it collapses, but if people's hearts are broken, it's hard to reunite them.

Nursing homes today need to project a strong image and rekindle the fighting spirit of their members.

Talulah focused her gaze on the resurgent enemy soldiers, and flames rose once more from the blade.

She knew very well that she still couldn't hold out for long, and that these soldiers would eventually break through her defenses.

But at this moment, Talulah's belief was unwavering.

She knew very well that she was not fighting alone. Behind her were the Reunion Movement members and the last line of defense built by Amon and the Sarkaz!

Chapter 783 Howling brightly!

Talulah's flames ignited wave after wave of soldiers.

But these soldiers continued to climb endlessly up from the edge of the nursing home.

She injected the last dose of drug number two into her arm, her breathing already extremely disordered.

Talulah knew that by overworking her body like this, no matter how miraculous the second drug was, her infection would inevitably worsen after this battle.

"I'm going to get nagged by Frostnova again."

Talulah forced a bitter smile and turned to look in the direction where Frostnova was.

In that small, frost-covered world, the battle continued, and the enemy was gradually forced back into the depths of the nursing home.

In another direction, Catherine's mech had taken off countless times to resupply ammunition, and even the improved mech was now riddled with damage.

Talulah took a deep breath, the scorching air feeling as if it were setting her chest ablaze.

The dragon's dazzling eyes still shone with an indomitable fighting spirit.

Facing the surging soldiers, Talulah's eyes seemed to burn with fighting spirit. Instead of retreating, she advanced and stepped forward again.

The soldiers looked at Talulah, who seemed tireless, and at the densely packed, charred corpses at her feet. These brainwashed soldiers actually showed a hint of fear and stopped in their tracks.

"Didn't you want to destroy my home?"

Talulah brandished her sword, reigniting the battlefield.
