Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

But before that, we don't want a second Sarkaz to be born on this land, ma'am. We don't mind dealing with you who stand in our way.

"It's Qi Yan again. Who exactly is Qi Yan? How can you be sure he can handle Hai Si?"

Goredia completely disbelieved the shapeshifter's words.

"Whether you believe it or not is no longer important. You can't beat us." The shapeshifter turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "None of you can beat us."

The atmosphere on the coastline instantly became suffocatingly oppressive.

It's obvious to everyone that the shapeshifter is serious.

Haisi, the cat that hasn't evolved to read the atmosphere at all, keeps asking questions.

The shapeshifter looked over again, nodded slightly, and agreed:

"Deal done."

"Thanks."

Cat Haisi thanked them in a serious manner, then turned around and meowed twice at his fellow creatures in the sea.

The dinosaurs returned to the shore, showing no intention of attacking the shapeshifters or the others, and quickly devoured their own kind who had already died on the shore.

In the distance, Elena, who had successfully calmed down the residents of Saltwind City, rushed over and instinctively reached for her hand cannon upon seeing so many dinosaurs.

Dario felt a chill run down his spine. He dared not let Eleanor provoke the shapeshifters at this moment, so he rushed over and grabbed Eleanor's wrist.

"teacher."

It wasn't Elena who spoke.

When Hai Si the cat saw Elena, its tail began to wag gently as it trotted forward, saying, "Teacher, thank you, teacher, thank you."

Dario: ?

The rest of the group: ? ? ?

"I I I I..."

Elena stammered on the spot, and after stammering for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Ignoring all of this, Hai Si the cat ran to Elena's feet and affectionately rubbed against her calf, much to everyone's bewilderment.

"Teacher, teach me how to rule the multitude, thank you teacher."

Dario looked at his apprentice in disbelief.

"I...I...I...I..."

Elena's stuttering has gotten worse.

"Teacher, food, what you need."

As soon as the cat-like creature swung its tail, several dinosaurs came running over with shells and other food, neatly placing them at Elena's feet.

Elena felt that her mind had been subjected to an unparalleled shock.

Not only her, but Dario was also somewhat dazed at this moment.

His expression caught Alene's eye, immediately causing her to misunderstand. Her strong survival instinct made Alene break free from her stutter.

With a sob in her voice, she explained to Dario:

"Teacher, I didn't, I didn't do it, you have to believe me, I didn't betray it, I don't know it!"

Dario: "..."

After a moment's hesitation, an absurd idea popped into Dario's head, and he immediately put it into action:

"Elena, make a request to this sea creature: make it return to the sea immediately."

This time, she looked at her teacher in disbelief.

But when faced with Dario's earnest gaze, Elena could only steel herself and lower her head, saying:

"Did you hear me? Go back to the sea!"

"Teacher... okay."

Cat Haisi readily agreed and turned to run towards the ocean.

Behind it, the tarantulas, having already cleaned up the corpses of their brethren, also began to scramble, the dense swarms of tarantulas rushing into the ocean without hesitation and diving deep into the depths.

Suddenly, the beach was deserted, and no one spoke.

The group looked at the sea, then at the fresh food on the beach, and finally all looked at Elena.

Surrounded by everyone's gaze, Elena's mental endurance finally reached its limit. Her eyes rolled back, and she fell asleep immediately.

Chapter 967 Open the door! Kazdel brings warmth!

The darkness almost completely swallowed the woman.

She was lying in bed, she should have been lying in bed, her eyelids, which she usually barely felt, felt unusually heavy today.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped the woman, and her thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, with her life experiences flashing through her mind like a slideshow.

She seemed to hear a child's cry coming from a great distance.

“Cecilia…my Cecilia…”

A dry, hoarse voice squeezed out of the woman's throat.

"Mom, are you thirsty? I got you some hot water."

The little girl's unique, innocent voice rang in the woman's ears. The woman struggled to open her eyes and looked at her daughter by the bedside. She was too exhausted to even grieve.

The little girl named Cecilia put down her water glass and gently held her mother's hand.

Her light blue eyes were filled with confusion.

"Mom, why are your hands so cold?" Cecilia hugged her mother's hands, trying to warm them. "Mom, shall I read you a storybook?"

"I'm sorry, Cecilia, Mom really doesn't want to leave you," the woman said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Is mommy going to leave me?"

Cecilia's eyes showed a hint of panic.

"No, I never wanted to leave you, Mom just..."

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the mother and daughter's conversation.

Both the woman and Cecilia showed signs of panic. Cecilia instinctively wanted to hide, just like when someone came to visit her home.

But she could sense her mother's weakness, and she didn't want to leave her mother's side.

“Cecilia, hide.” The woman whispered almost pleadingly. “Don’t let anyone find you. After Mom leaves, someone will come to pick you up. He will take you to Dad, and Dad will take care of you in Mom’s place, okay?”

“Can I come with Mom?” Cecilia asked.

"No, the place Mom is going to is very cold and lonely..."

The knocking started again, this time with a hint of impatience.

"Hide, Cecilia."

The woman struggled to get up, her voice becoming urgent.

Cecilia bit her lower lip, backed away step by step, and turned to find the cubicle where she usually hid.

"Little Cecilia, are you home?" came the voice from outside the door.

The woman froze instantly, as if petrified, the fear and unease in her eyes almost tangible.

The person outside spoke again:

“Ms. Felia, I’m here to pick you and your daughter up. I know you’re home. If you don’t open the door, I’m going to break it down.”

The woman trembled and tried harder to sit up in bed, but her already ailing body could not support her movements. She collapsed back onto the bed as soon as she managed to sit up.

Cecilia, who had not yet left, saw her mother's condition and nervously ran back to the bedside.

"No, Cecilia, run! It's not him outside!" Felia cried out in alarm. "It's not the Vanguard! I don't know him! Cecilia, you must run! You can't expose yourself in Laterano!"

Another woman's voice came from outside the door: "There are people inside, two of them, one of whom is very ill."

The original voice rang out again:

"Even if we rush, we're still just barely making it to the deadline. You two, move away from the door, I'm coming in!"

Kazdel Nursing Home is bringing warmth! Hurrah!

A loud bang came from the door.

Felia hugged Cecilia, who had run over, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Then she discovered that her door was completely undamaged, while the person outside the door let out a scream that sounded like it was in pain.

"You know you can't break down the door in this state, so why are you still being so foolish?" A woman's disdainful voice came from outside the door.

"Breaking down the door like that is so cool!"

"Then I hope you feel cool even when you lose money."

The argument outside the door stopped, and the next second, a layer of white frost condensed on the door latch.

The person outside the door, with astonishingly precise control, manipulated the frost to condense into a small icicle, and gently pushed open the door latch.

The door was opened from the outside, and a young, white-haired couple of Rupert appeared before Feria and her daughter.

"Who...who are you? Don't come any closer!" Felia cried out, clutching her daughter tightly in her arms.

Qi Lin quietly observed the mother and daughter in the room. The woman's condition was definitely not good at the moment; she was even at the point where she could be admitted to the intensive care unit and become a fellow patient with Ghost Shark.

But the other party showed no intention of helping themselves and just stayed at home, struggling to survive.

From the woman's features, Qi Lin could tell that she was definitely a beauty, but at this moment she was emaciated from illness, her white hair was as dry as roadside weeds, and even her light blue eyes were shrouded in shadow.

The little girl being held in the woman's arms had long, smooth, flaxen hair that was completely different from her mother's. It was fluffy and shiny, clearly showing that even though her mother was seriously ill, she was still trying her best to take good care of her daughter.

After observing for a while, Qi Lin said calmly, "You're going to die."

"I..." Felia almost choked on his own words.

But she can't die now; she has to find out why these two people came.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Felia asked breathlessly.

"My responsibility is only to save people; what else I do is up to him."

Qi Lin turned to the side, revealing Qi Yan behind her, who was grimacing and rubbing his shoulder.

Cecilia peeked out from her mother's arms, but when she saw Qi Yan's grimacing face, she immediately shrank back in fright.

"Mommy, a big dog, it's going to eat people!" she whispered anxiously.

Qi Lin: "..."

Feria's heart nearly gave out from the shock.

She could tell that the two people who had suddenly barged into her home were both Rupert. In this land, calling Rupert "Pero" was an insult.

“She…she didn’t mean that, Cecilia is still young.” Felia hugged her daughter tightly, her voice trembling with anxiety.

“Children are ignorant, so adults should educate them instead of using the excuse that the child is too young.”

Qi Yan stepped forward and introduced himself in front of the mother and daughter: "I am the former director of Kazdel Nursing Home. I am here to take you and your daughter back to Kazdel for a family reunion."

Forget about your pathetic vanguard. Andorn's visit to Laterano this time was like singing, "We've caught up with a golden age, enjoying peace and prosperity"—the good days are over!

Felia: ? ? ?

She sat on the bed for a long time before slowly sorting out Qi Yan's incoherent remarks.

"Are you from Kazdel's side?" Feria's heart began to fill with hope.

"To be precise, Kazdel is on my side," Qi Yan corrected earnestly.

“…How can I trust you?” Felia asked one last time, trying to confirm.

"Now you can rest assured, just because my name is Qi Yan."

Qi Yan stood with his hands on his hips, looking quite imposing.

But Felia, standing before him, fell silent.
