Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Great!"

Just as the man from the Mountain and Sea Sect was in a daze, Qi Yan staggered and pounced on him, saying urgently, "My companions under the city wall have all been exposed by Qi Yan, and they're all doomed! Quickly report to the leader, something terrible has happened!"

The man from the mountains and seas quickly reassured him:

“We understand. Thank you for your hard work, brother. Let’s go to the various strongholds to report this now and move our positions as quickly as possible.”

"How did you know?" Qi Yan asked in surprise. "That entire squad has perished. I only escaped by faking my death. I personally witnessed all my brothers, except for myself, being killed by that bastard Qi Yan!"

"what?!"

The man from the Mountain and Sea Sect was immediately shocked, but soon fell into doubt.

Seeing this, Qi Yan added fuel to the fire, secretly plotting something malicious:

"Think back carefully, was there anything unusual when the other party came to report, such as deliberately avoiding meeting them?"

The other side is likely an imposter, deliberately creating confusion so that we'll reveal our weakness and be caught red-handed when we relocate!

"Hiss... It's exactly as you said."

Qi Yan's attack, which sacrificed Taihe and the other two, successfully dealt a critical blow, causing the balance of trust in the hearts of the Shan Hai people to tip.

But soon the group of people from the mountains and seas panicked again:

"What do we do now? Many brothers have already started taking action, and it's too late to stop them."

"Don't rush, let me analyze it."

This time, it was Qi Yan's turn to reassure the other party: "We don't know where Ya is operating now, and our plan is to wait for the natural disaster, but Qi Yan's appearance has ruined our plan to assassinate the messenger of the natural disaster."

Now that we face the risk of exposure again, we may have to be more decisive. Let the brothers watching the Yumen Sand Canal make some noise, a feint, and then we can take advantage of the chaos to gather the scattered brothers together before making a decision.”

Listening to Qi Yan's logical analysis, and hearing his clear understanding of the Shan Hai Clan's internal plans, the Shan Hai Clan member completely gained the trust of him.

"Brother, you're right. Luckily, our organization has a smart guy like you."

The man from the Mountain and Sea Sect said with relief, "We were almost ruined by those despicable Yumen people. Let's hurry and go directly to headquarters to report this matter."

The two hit it off immediately, and during their journey, Qi Yan even followed Tai He's example, falling half a step behind.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were destined to be in vain, as the man from the mountains and seas already firmly believed in his identity.

When the two arrived at a courtyard, the mountain and sea warrior took full advantage of his initiative, exchanging coded messages and explaining the reasons. In the end, he even arranged for a companion to take Qi Yan to heal his injuries.

Before parting, Qi Yan gripped the other person's hand tightly and said firmly:

"Good brother, I won't take the credit for this, but remember, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

"Be brothers, in your heart!"

Deeply moved, the man from the mountains and seas patted his chest and turned to run towards the room in the center of the courtyard.

Watching the other person leave, Qi Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

There are still many kind-hearted people on this land!

"Come on, brother, look at your injuries, you're covered in blood," said the Shan Hai Clan member in charge of treating Qi Yan with concern.

"Don't rush." ​​Qi Yan stood still and said with a smile, "You'll be more seriously injured than me later."

"The Inner Eagle's Outer Core!"

Qi Yan suddenly lowered his voice and shouted something.

The next second, the blazing flames instantly set the courtyard ablaze.

The figure of Nian descended from the sky, waving his hand to draw a circle of flames that surrounded the stronghold.

The mountain and sea warrior in front of Qi Yan didn't even have time to scream before he turned to ashes in the flames.

Feeling the intense heat emanating from Nian's body, Qi Yan took a deep breath and began to unleash his full power, roaring:

"Run, everyone! That crazy old woman with the red tattoo on her arm from Yumen is coming!"

The Shan Hai people, disturbed in the courtyard, rushed out in a panic and immediately saw one of their own men charging fearlessly toward the woman radiating intense heat.

As he launched his charge, one of his own men waved and shouted to them:

"Don't worry about me, I'll hold off the enemy for you guys, you run first!"

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

With an arrogant smile on his face, Nian crossed his arms and casually kicked Qi Yan away.

During his flight, Qi Yan's mask accidentally fell off, and he forced himself to vomit blood. The amount of blood loss was astonishing, and he crashed heavily in front of the door in the center of the courtyard, resembling a human-shaped rocket.

The leaders of the Mountain and Sea Clan, who had just opened the door to investigate, were startled by Qi Yan's sudden appearance. Looking down, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

In his view, Qi Yan looked as if he had just been soaked in a pool of blood. Not only could he not tell what he looked like, but he could not even tell what color his hair and clothes were originally!

The kind-hearted man who had led Qi Yan all the way, Shan Haizhong, followed behind his leader. Upon seeing this, he immediately knelt down in sorrow before Qi Yan:

"Brother, brother, you're so silly! Why didn't you run when you were in danger?"

"Don't... don't worry about me... quickly take... the boss away."

Qi Yan tremblingly raised his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the kind man: "The whole world belongs to its master. It is our duty to restore the glory of the mountains and seas!"

This heartfelt statement left even the leader speechless.

"Brothers!"

The kind-hearted man's voice was choked with sobs as he cried out to his leader, "Boss, let's go! We can't let my brother's sacrifice be in vain!"

"……Walk!"

The leader's lips twitched, and without hesitation, he turned and ran.

LOL. Even without the blood gourd under his feet and those Mountain and Sea warriors who were infected with fighting spirit and charged fearlessly towards the enemy, wouldn't he have run away?

They're just a bunch of idiots brainwashed by slogans; nothing is more important than their own lives!

Seeing how decisively the leader ran, the kind-hearted man quickly got up to follow, only to find that Qi Yan was still holding his sleeve tightly.

"Don't worry about me, you all go quickly! The people of Shanhai cannot perish here!" Qi Yan shouted in anguish.

The kind person tugged at the sleeve, but couldn't budge it...

"Listen to me, don't even think about taking me with you. Getting away is more important than anything else!" Qi Yan continued to shout.

The kind-hearted person tried to take a step, but found that even after dragging Qi Yan a few steps, the hand that was holding his sleeve still wouldn't let go.

"Stop dawdling! Since you still have the energy, climb onto my back!"

The kind-hearted man grew anxious, bent down, picked up Qi Yan, and ran after the leader who had reached the edge of the yard and was trying to break through the flames.

Chapter 906 Boss: Luckily, Qi Yan is here to share the burden... Holy crap! Who?

When the kind-hearted man carried Qi Yan and caught up with the leader, the leader had already drawn the dagger from his waist and flung it at the courtyard wall engulfed in flames.

The seemingly small dagger, in the leader's hand, unleashed tremendous force, smashing a gap in the courtyard wall.

The collapsing rubble extinguished the flames for a moment.

The leader was surprised to see that he had broken through last year's flames so easily.

But the situation left him no time to think things through. He wrapped his clothes and hat tightly around himself, gritted his teeth, and rushed out.

A kind person carried Qi Yan on their back and followed closely behind, leaping over the flames while cheering loudly.

"As expected of the boss!"

Qi Yan, clinging to his back, followed closely behind, praising his smelly feet: "You did something we couldn't do so easily!"

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, just stay quiet and run with me!"

The leader glanced back at the figure in the courtyard who was punching a child one by one. Even though he had some doubts, he dared not linger and began to flee into the streets and alleys.

The three of them ran hurriedly for a while, until the leader's breathing became somewhat rapid, at which point he took the lead and stopped.

"Something's strange!" he said, his breath ragged.

"What's strange?"

The kind man put Qi Yan down, his legs trembling from running: "Boss, you mean the other side suddenly found our headquarters? I suspect we've been followed."

Leader: "..."

Sure enough, there is something weird!

Rumor has it that this guy named Qi Yan likes to infiltrate enemy camps and speaks in an extremely absurd way. Could this person be...?

The well-meaning person, completely unaware that they were committing a grave mistake, was still using their exceptional intelligence to carefully analyze the situation:

"My good brother and I had just arrived at headquarters when the other side showed up at our door. It was all too coincidental. I can't think of any other explanation."

If we extend this line of thought, oh no! Nine times out of ten, the brothers who went to other strongholds were also being followed. Our Mountain and Sea Clan is doomed!

The leader rolled his eyes in anger, becoming even more suspicious of the man's identity.

But the more suspicious he became, the less he dared to say anything directly, fearing that revealing Qi Yan's identity here would result in him being killed on the spot.

Just as the leader was pondering how to change the subject without getting caught up in Qi Yan's rhetoric, Qi Yan pushed past the well-meaning person and said to the leader:

“I also think something’s strange. That crazy woman is a fragment of a giant beast. Logically speaking, she should be able to wipe us out with ease.”

The leader felt somewhat better when he saw that there was still a normal person next to him.

He took a deep breath and said with a worried expression:

"I thought so too, but now that we've not only escaped, but escaped so easily, there must be some other conspiracy waiting for us."

"But our headquarters has been raided, what more do they want?" Qi Yan said indignantly.

Even the leader couldn't figure out the answer to his question, let alone what Qi Yan's intentions were in continuing to follow him instead of killing him.

The two of them began to frown and ponder deeply. Although the kind person was still out of it, seeing the two looking distressed, he also showed a look of deep thought.

The leader glanced silently at the kind-hearted man, muttering to himself.

Stop pretending!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to detect the clues before you revealed your identity, so there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

But he had to figure out one thing: what exactly was Qi Yan trying to find out by playing role-playing here?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck the leader.

He was the leader of the Mountain and Sea Clan. What else could Qi Yan possibly want from him besides trying to find out about the Mountain and Sea Clan?

As the leader of the Mountain and Sea Clan, he was well aware of their current situation.

The reason why the Shan Hai Clan was able to survive after being severely damaged by Zuo Xuan Liao was not because of the blessings of the giant beasts or the cohesion of the Shan Hai Clan itself, but because of the secret support from someone inside the court.

Even the attack on Yumen by the Shan Hai Clan was not entirely for the so-called revenge; it was more because the powerful minister behind the Shan Hai Clan wanted to create some noise that would attract the court's attention.

The leader's thoughts gradually became clear.

He felt he was gradually understanding everything!

Qi Yan wanted to find out the identity of the powerful minister behind the Shan Hai Clan by following his lead!

Thinking of this, the leader secretly hatched a plan.

"You, go do me a favor." The leader suddenly raised his hand and threw a token to Qi Yan. "Take my token and do everything you can to inform the brothers in the city to stop trying to hide and to destroy everything that can be destroyed at all costs."

In short, we'll throw Yumen into complete chaos. If this operation succeeds, a high-ranking official will personally arrange for people to pick us up, ensuring the safe return of the Baoshan people!

"Boss, you've been hiding such a big secret!" The kind man's face lit up with joy.

Qi Yan caught the token, rolled his eyes, and immediately tossed it to the kind person next to him as if he had touched a hot potato.

"Um... Boss, my injuries are really bad!"

Qi Yan let out a mournful cry and lay down on the ground: "I am willing to do this mission but I am powerless to do it. Taking action would probably delay the spread of intelligence. Let this brother go instead."

Such exaggerated acting could not possibly fool the boss, but it could fool the kind-hearted person.

"This brother is indeed in a tough spot, but I can complete the mission by myself!" he patted his chest and assured.

"...Okay, I'll do as you say."

The leader now only wanted to lure Qi Yan away from him as soon as possible, and then flee for his life without looking back.

The kind-hearted person nodded repeatedly, grabbed the token, and ran away.
