Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Several figures in black raincoats, looking somewhat disheveled, retreated from the end of the passage, their black raincoats covered in frost.

"Captain, this passage is blocked. We need to find another passage."

A man in a black cloak reported this.

The captain in the black raincoat who had stopped Chen and the others nodded, said nothing more to Chen, and left without acknowledging the crowd.

Everyone looked at Chen, awaiting her decision.

Chen stared at the collapsed passage and took a deep breath:

“We outnumber them, so let’s dig a tunnel right away. I need to go see those from the Reunification Movement.”

The Rhodes Island team looked at the Doctor, and seeing that the Doctor gave his permission, they immediately stepped forward and began digging.

Seeing that the Rhodes Island team had already taken action, the Guard Bureau team also chose to join in.

Just as Chen said, their two teams may not be as strong as a full-strength Black Cloak unit, but when it comes to excavation work, it's the number of people that matters, not individual strength.

Soon a passable road was dug out.

Chen led the way inside, and as soon as he stepped into the underground plaza behind it, a frost spell struck him head-on.

Chen remained calm, and with a slight tug, the red sword shadow flashed past as the sword rested on Chixiao.

The frost spell seemed to have a physical form, splitting into two.

"How is this possible?! You can actually cut through magic?!"

In the underground plaza, the members of the Yeti team who were casting the spell took a half-step back in surprise.

Chen slowly sheathed the Crimson Sky sword, his eyes filled with determination as he silently surveyed the space.

Corpses, the wounded, blood, and frost together make up this little world.

The Reunion members gathered around the Yeti Squad, watching Chen warily.

A woman was being held tightly behind them, lying on the ground seemingly unconscious.

The doctor and others filed in through the passage behind Chen, and after seeing the scene, they all fell silent.

"That's Frostnova, a leader of Reunion. She doesn't look too well."

The doctor then began to introduce Chen.

"It does not matter."

Contrary to his usual behavior, Chen did not show any aversion to the Integration Movement. Instead, he took two steps forward and removed his hands from his weapons.

"My name is Chen, and I am the head of the inspection team of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. I would like to ask you a question: Where are the infected people in Lungmen?"

The Yeti team exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward, saying in a deep voice:

"They're gone. If you want to fight, then fight. We're never afraid of battle."

"No, I will protect you."

Chen's words surprised the Reunion Movement and the Yeti Squad.

Chen didn't offer any further explanation, but turned to the team behind him and gave the order:

"Spread out and block all passages leading here. Do not harm Reunion Movement members or Lungmen infected. This operation is only targeting those in black raincoats."

Rhodes Island's team quickly sprang into action.

However, the Guard Bureau's troops stood still, silently drawing their weapons.

Chapter 086 Turning Against Each Other, Forming an Alliance

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Chen stared at the Guard Bureau personnel, his anger evident, but not his surprise.

The doctor shrank back and hid behind Huang, distancing himself from the Guard Bureau personnel.

“I’m sorry, Officer Chen, Governor Wei has given us orders that the Reunification Movement must not be allowed to escape.”

A squad leader from the Guard Bureau spoke apologetically, but acted without hesitation, stepping past Chen to prepare to attack the Reunion Movement and the Yeti Squad.

With his sword drawn, Chen struck the crossbow bolt in the squad leader's hand, then kicked him away.

At the doctor's frantic gesture, the Rhodes Island team quickly turned back and stood behind Chen, confronting the Guard Bureau team.

Chen held the Guard Bureau's standard-issue sword, his tone icy:

"In that case, you will be facing an enemy named Chen Huijie, an infected person."

"what?!"

Everyone present was taken aback.

Chen turned around, looked at the Reunion Movement and the Yeti Squad, and said firmly:

“I will cover your retreat. Now, you must leave Longmen immediately.”

I have only one request: protect those infected in Lungmen and tell them that they are also people of Lungmen.

The Yeti team stared directly into Chen's eyes, and suddenly seemed to understand something from them.

One of the Yeti team members chuckled and said to his companion beside him:

"Everyone else retreat, the Yeti Squad stays behind to fight alongside this lady. We can't let anyone look down on us."

As they spoke, one of the Yeti squad members removed a pair of wrist guards from his wrist and handed them to a crossbowman beside him.

"Take this with you and help us take our eldest sister away. Her condition has deteriorated to a very bad point; her body temperature is so low that she could frostbite you."

The crossbowman instinctively took the wrist guard, but didn't move, gritting his teeth as he said:

"How could we possibly abandon our comrades?"

"I beg you."

The Yeti Squad suddenly pleaded softly, "Big Sister can't hold on any longer. The Originium Arts she unleashed just now exceeded her limits. All I want now is for you to take her back to Chernobog."

At least... let her spend her last moments with her father. If she wakes up, please tell her we'll be waiting for her up ahead.

By the end, the Yeti team's voices were choked with emotion.

The crossbowman and other Reunion members felt as if something was stuck in their throats, and they couldn't say a word.

After a moment of silence, the crossbowman put on his gauntlets and gently lifted Froststar into his arms.

The Yeti squad watched silently as they took Frostnova away. Behind them, Chen had already led the Rhodes Island team into battle against the Guard Bureau.

The Yeti Squad withdrew their gaze and took out the Originium Ice Crystals created by Frostnova from their backpacks.

"Then let's fight this last battle together with our eldest sister by our side."

"When we win, when we are free, we can cry our hearts out! In the wilderness, in the snow, in the stacks of hay!"

"Come on, let's fight the final battle!"

The biting frost spread through the underground passage, and the cold wind howled, enveloping the near-guard team.

The Doctor stood on the periphery of the melee and gently patted Huang on the shoulder:

"Judging by the time, the black raincoats will be back soon. You should go and help them out."

Huang gripped the chainsaw tightly, wanting to join the battle and contribute to his Rhodes Island comrades and the infected.

But she seemed somewhat hesitant:

"I'm worried that those black raincoats are carrying out decapitation strikes."

"Big cat, don't underestimate me. In this underground passage, no one can hurt me," the doctor chuckled.

Huang was clearly taken aback and turned to look at the doctor.

She had no recollection of the doctor having any combat abilities.

The doctor looked at her silently, his eyes filled with encouragement and reassurance.

“I once heard ACE let slip that back when Rhodes Island was still called Babel, they called me the evil spirit of Babel.”

The doctor smiled beneath his mask, but the smile was strange, like a triumphant smile, or like that of a wounded wild beast.

Huang was startled for no reason.

But the PhD's imposing manner also gave her confidence.

"Then I will no longer suppress myself!"

Huang took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit. His chainsaw roared as he locked his gaze on five figures in black raincoats appearing in another passage.

"We, the infected, should fight for our rights!"

The large cat, steaming with heat, crashed into the line of people wearing black raincoats like a meteorite.

Seeing this, the doctor couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"That unlucky big cat."

The next second, Huang's figure flew backward at an even faster speed and was thrown directly into the Yeti squad by the black raincoats.

The heatwave clashed with the frost, causing the Yeti squad to scream in pain from the heat, while Huang shivered from the cold.

"Are you here to cause trouble, you big cat?"

The Yeti team grumbled as they helped Huang up.

Huang rubbed his stomach, which had been kicked, and managed a slight smile:

"Compared to my meddling, the results are quite obvious."

The Yeti team was stunned for a moment, then they all turned to look in the direction of the black raincoat.

Under their watchful eyes, the figure in the black raincoat, who hadn't even rushed out of the passage, was forced to retreat once again.

The heatwave surged from the walls and floor of the passageway, directly causing it to collapse.

"Guys, while I'm good at offensive battles, I'm not bad at defensive battles either," Huang joked to himself.

The Yeti team couldn't help but exclaim, "We rarely admire anyone, but that last move of yours was so cool!"

"Hehe, no."

Huang was suddenly praised and became a little embarrassed.

The doctor's applause rang out, and he slowly walked to the front of the crowd, saying softly:

"That was very well done. Don't do it like that next time."

Furthermore, the situation remains unfavorable for us; we anticipate even more black raincoats arriving to join the battle.

The Yeti team was startled: "What do we do then?"

"Don't rush, listen to my instructions." The doctor walked slowly towards a passage at the back. "My eyes are set on victory."

Now, everyone, please proceed in this direction and evacuate in an orderly manner.

The doctor's calmness inexplicably calmed everyone present down as well.

He seems to possess a calm and composed demeanor, as if he has everything under control, which makes people subconsciously want to trust him.

The Yeti team cast a spell to separate the Guard Bureau's team, and then led the way to evacuate through the passage chosen by the Doctor.

The doctor walked in the line, fiddling with the terminal in his hand, and before he knew it, he had fallen to the very back.

As he entered the evacuation tunnel, he suddenly turned back to look at the Guard Bureau team struggling to emerge from the frost behind him, and smiled slightly:

"You should be thankful that you maintained some basic camaraderie during the battle and didn't kill the Rhodes Island operators, otherwise you would be a pile of corpses by now."

The members of the Guard Bureau felt a chill run down their spines.

They then realized with a start that the doctor had not given any verbal commands during the battle.

And they were actually trying to oppose the Doctor from Rhodes Island.

To oppose the man who completely thwarted the Reunion Movement's offensive within half an hour.

"Hey, you're still looking at the terminal at a time like this? Is there a way to win in there?"
