Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"If possible, I hope you can temporarily put down the wounded and come here according to the location I sent. There is a patient here with severe Oripathy infection who needs the second drug for treatment."

"Received, I'm coming right now... This is the final step of bandaging, don't move around."

The terminal's communication abruptly ended with a scream.

The medic put down his terminal, looked into Frostnova's gray eyes, and gave a dry laugh:

"Don't misunderstand, Dr. Gavial's medical skills are among the best in Rhodes Island."

"……Thanks."

For the first time, Froststar realized how difficult it was to say thank you to someone.

Qi Lin stood to the side, stroking her chin, and suddenly felt an urge to leave Warfarin's tutelage and join Gavial's lineage.

Just as she was seriously considering this question, her silver wolf ears twitched, and she heard footsteps approaching again.

Qi Lin turned her head and saw a healthy-colored film slowly appear.

The doctor turned his head following Qi Lin's gaze, and the expression on the person behind him changed drastically. He promptly shrank behind Amiya's small body.

"On this land, there is never a lack of disagreement, and no suffering can be avoided by running away. This applies to you and me, and to everyone."

Kal'tsit slowly walked up to Amiya, her gaze sweeping across the underground space before finally settling back on Amiya.

She took Amiya's hand, carefully examined the ring's condition, and then sighed softly:

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, I have terminated my cooperation with Lungmen, but I just received a report from Operator Exusiai that Chernobog's core city is moving towards Lungmen. It is still necessary for our cooperation to continue."

"Qi Yan has protected you very well. Come with me again later."

Kal'tsit's words startled everyone present, and their relaxed nerves tightened again.

Among the crowd, Chen reacted the most, and couldn't help but turn around and rush towards the governor's mansion.

Huang grabbed her arm, signaling her to calm down.

The doctor stepped out from behind Amiya and asked:

"Amiya, what are you going to do?"

Amiya pondered for a moment, understanding the significance behind this matter, and said firmly:

"The cooperation between Lungmen and Rhodes Island must be restarted. I will go to stop Talulah. This is Mr. Qi Yan's idea, and it is also my idea. It is time to stop this war. I don't want to see more people suffer."

Kal'tsit gazed silently at Amiya's face.

It wasn't for the infected, nor for Rhodes Island's interests, but because I didn't want any more people to suffer.

"Amiya..."

Kal'tsit twitched her wrist slightly, as if she wanted to touch Amiya's hair, but ultimately did not lift it.

She paused for a moment, then said softly, "I will support your decision and help you carry it out."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's lips gradually curled up into a smile.

“Kal'tsit, you’ve finally made a change.” He said with no small amount of pride. “As Amiya’s primary guardian, you should have learned long ago to share Amiya’s burdens.”

Kal'tsit's green eyes remained calm as she silently locked onto the Doctor:

“Amiya is still young, and I will support all her decisions, but you and Qi Yan are different.”

The doctor's smile froze on his face.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Qi Yan struggled to carry Jingzhe, taking one step at a time as he appeared in the passage.

The gold in his eyes was slowly fading, and his face showed obvious signs of weariness.

"Gentlemen, let's start a meeting."

Qi Yan greeted them with a smile, then his eyes lit up when he saw Froststar on the ground:

"Little rabbit, you're finally in my hands! I've been wanting to get you for so long!"

Chapter 093 She's Real, I Cry

Qi Yan and the doctor stood side by side, heads down, eyes downcast, their main characteristic being obedientness.

Jingzhe escaped from Qi Yan's clutches and angrily complained to Kal'tsit.

After hearing Jingzhe's retelling, Kal'tsit couldn't help but take a deep breath and turn to look at Qi Yan.

"Who dares to claim invincibility?"

"No no."

"Who dares to say that he is invincible?"

"What can the old Celestial Master do?"

"...We really don't need to be afraid of that."

Kal'tsit rubbed her temples, looking troubled, and said:

"Perhaps you don't need to worry about the Old Master, but behind him is the Great Yan, while Rhodes Island is just a small pharmaceutical company."

We really can't let this Inspector General, codenamed Jingzhe, live.

Qi Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately started shouting:

"We finally managed to catch this girl, how can we let her go so easily? If she were to end up in our power plant, the electricity meters would start spinning backwards!"

Jingzhe stared wide-eyed and hugged herself in terror.

Kal'tsit's eyes turned dangerous as she gave Qi Yan a warning look before turning to reassure him:

“Miss Jingzhe, you don’t need to pay attention to Qi Yan’s crazy talk. Rhodes Island does not use operators’ Originium Arts to generate electricity. The positions of operators are determined according to the operators’ own wishes.”

Under Kal'tsit's reassurance, Jingzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with some doubt.

On the other side, a long-haired woman, also covered in green elements, was squatting beside Frostnova, carefully injecting a vial of potion into Frostnova's arm.

Behind the woman, a slender but powerful crocodile tail was slightly taut, as if it was trying to control itself.

The Yeti team stared intently at Gavial until the injection was finished and the needle was cleanly removed. Only then did they breathe a long sigh of relief, as if they had just survived a major battle.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is this? I'm just giving a shot of medicine, how could it possibly harm the patient?"

Gavial looked displeased and lightly punched the ground.

With a thud, Froststar's body jolted.

The scene fell into dead silence once more. Froststar rolled her eyes and promptly lost consciousness.

"Why……"

"Stop it!" Gavial scratched his long green hair in exasperation and roared, "This is the effect of drug number two, not from me hitting him!"

The Yeti team quickly hid behind the big bear and obediently nodded to show that they understood.

Kal'tsit's gaze swept over the Yeti squad, and she spoke calmly:

"I hope you can accompany your eldest sister to Rhodes Island for treatment. Each of you has reached a very serious stage of Oripathy."

Of course, this is just a suggestion; whether you agree or not is entirely up to you.

The Yeti team glanced at the unconscious Frostnova, then at Gavial who was rubbing his hands together in anticipation, Qi Yan who was brimming with excitement, and Qi Lin who remained silent. They all swallowed hard.

She could have just knocked us out and taken us away, but she made a point of asking again.

She really made us cry our eyes out...

The Yeti team made the right choice from the bottom of their hearts.

The large group split into two groups. Kal'tsit and the Doctor took Amiya to the Governor's Mansion to discuss the next steps in their cooperation with Lungmen.

Chen Mo followed silently behind the three, her head down, so no one could see her expression.

The others, led by Qi Yan, returned to Rhodes Island outside Lungmen to rest.

In the group, Jingzhe felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until she arrived at Rhodes Island with the team and received an application form under Qi Yan's arrangement that her purple eyes began to widen.

"Why did you still bring me back here?!"

Chen looked up at the familiar Governor's Mansion building.

On the floor where Wei Yanwu's office is located, there are two glaring holes in the wall that look quite jarring.

She looked away, took a deep breath, and led the way into the building.

She had only taken a few steps inside when she saw a group of medical staff carrying a stretcher and hurrying past.

On the stretcher, a worker with a hole in his shoulder lay pale, his eyes filled with a sense that life was not worth living.

"What's going on? Was he caught in the crossfire of Qi Yan's battle?" Chen asked, frowning.

But the more she looked at the wound on the staff member's shoulder, the more familiar it seemed.

Why does it look so much like a piercing wound from sword energy?

The medical staff paused for a moment, then stammered:

"No, Officer Chen, I don't have time to explain right now. The injured person needs to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible."

After saying that, the group of people quickly slipped away from Chen as if they were fleeing.

Chen's brows furrowed into a deep frown. He temporarily suppressed his doubts and led Amiya and the other two to Wei Yanwu's office.

Without asking permission, she pushed open the office door.

A fragrant aroma of tea wafted into the nostrils of the four people.

Wei Yanwu seemed startled and reflexively protected the teapot in front of him.

Only after realizing that the visitor was not Qi Yan did he breathe a sigh of relief and regain his usual composure.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Chen walked quickly to Wei Yanwu, but did not sit down. Instead, he looked down at Wei Yanwu from his superior position.

Noticing Chen's unusual attitude, Wei Yanwu frowned slightly:

"Officer Chen, is there anything you want to say?"

Why go to this extent?

Chen did not specify what she wanted to ask.

But everyone present knew what she was asking.

Wei Yanwu put down his pipe, slowly got up and walked to a hole in the wall, gazing at the city called Longmen.

"Officer Chen, is there any point in dwelling on this now?" Wei Yanwu asked with his back to the crowd, his tone tinged with regret. "The infected are gone, the Reunion Movement is gone, and Qi Yan has overturned and destroyed all of my and the Rat King's plans. Isn't this exactly the result you all wanted to see?"

Chen remained silent, but Amiya stepped forward and spoke first:

“We never wanted to see this outcome, that a river would appear on the wasteland outside Lungmen… a river of refugees.”

There were Ursus people and Lungmen people. There were infected people and ordinary people. They came, some rich and some poor, and they left empty-handed.

They had thought there was a place that would accept them, but now they know they have nowhere to go and will eventually disappear from this wasteland.

Wei Yanwu turned around and looked at Amiya.

He was clearly somewhat surprised that Amiya would say those words.

Amiya seemed to have changed since their last meeting.

But, it's only slightly different.

Wei Yanwu's tone also carried a hint of anger as he said in a deep voice:

"It wasn't that Lungmen rejected them, but rather that they rejected Lungmen. Officer Chen can answer that question."

During this unrest in Lungmen, besides our own informants, was there even one infected person or refugee relocated from a slum who chose to remind us, even just one?

Amiya remained expressionless and agreed:

"I don't need her to answer. I agree with Governor Wei. Those people in the slums are short-sighted. They don't know what their future holds. The infected people's rationality has been clouded by hatred. They don't care that their actions will cause annihilation to others."

No one is innocent in this suffering.
