Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Witnessed by everyone, a dark shadow shot into the sky and flew towards the ocean, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 1041 ciallo~

Idia looked up at Ulpian soaring high into the sky, opened her mouth wide, and then took a bite of the pineapple bun in her hand.

Let her fly wherever she wants, nothing can bother her while she's eating!

Is there any food in the sky?

If large flocks could also fly, wouldn't they be able to eat more food?

Idia began to try to think for the first time.

However, the large group did not give her the task of flying or the direction of evolution.

Idia finished her pineapple bun in a few bites, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, looking somewhat troubled.

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Yan walked back and patted her little head.

“Fly, a large flock, fly!” Idia answered crisply.

"Don't worry, it can fly."

Qi Yan picked up Idia, packed up the remaining desserts on the table, and slowly walked towards the central square.

At the same time, Carmen and Kal'tsit in the central square also turned their attention away.

“It seems Ulpian has succeeded,” Carmen said worriedly. “I wonder if he can bring back the information we need from the ocean.”

Kal'tsit collected a fragment of Netherworld Mark into a potion bottle and reassured him:

"The ocean is the deep-sea hunter's home ground. If even he can't do it, we can only passively wait for Agor."

"Don't we still have Qi Yan?"

"He just let go and it's gone."

Carmen was momentarily speechless, then changed the subject back to Minghen:

"These things have an incredible ability to reproduce. Even though we've been working hard to destroy the nests that Hai Si has built in the town, Ming Hen keeps appearing out of nowhere, one after another."

“Apart from Qi Yan, nothing can appear out of thin air,” Kal'tsit refuted Carmen’s opinion.

Carmen had a mouthful of saliva stuck in her throat, and she had to get it out.

Kal'tsit didn't give him that chance, her gaze lingering between the potion bottle in her hand and the base of the Nether Mark on the ground.

She had a vague guess: "This land."

He waited a moment before belatedly realizing that this was not the prelude to Kal'tsit's riddle, but rather the conclusion that Kal'tsit had reached.

After a moment's thought, Carmen frowned and said:

"You mean the Nethermark comes from deep underground... or that the entire land of Granfalo has been transformed into a nest by the Sea Legion?"

Kal'tsit nodded.

Upon seeing this, Carmen's heart sank.

"How long until the Punishment Army and the musketeers arrive?" Kal'tsit asked.

"We expect to arrive tonight."

"Yes, we have limited time and cannot afford to waste too much time in Granfalo. Our ultimate goal remains to reactivate the Eye of Iberia and expand the frontier in the sea."

Kal'tsit officially finalized the battle plan: "Once the army arrives, immediately have them prepare. I will ask Aya and the others, who possess extraordinary strength, to take action, but the counterattack from Hai Si should not be underestimated."

"Would they be willing to help us?" Carmen was a little unsure.

Kal'tsit seemed very confident about this: "For Qi Yan's sake, they won't refuse."

Carmen hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask for clarification:

"Madam, just how far is Qi Yan willing to go for us?"

Upon hearing this question, Kal'tsit unconsciously recalled Qi Yan's promise to her.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Rarely, Kal'tsit chose to answer Carmen with a joke:

"He can save us from the most critical predicament, but please don't worry about why we got into the most critical predicament in the first place."

Carmen took a half-step back as if she had seen a ghost.

Kal'tsit pursed her lips, silently returning to her usual tense state.

"Kal'tsit, what are you talking about?"

Qi Yan walked over from outside the square: "Why does Carmen look like he's seen a ghost?"

Kelsey: “…”

Her green eyes stared coldly at Qi Yan, and she spoke without any emotion:

"You seem to be free?"

"How could that be? I'm extremely busy!" Qi Yan shook his head repeatedly. "I just came up with a brilliant welcome ceremony to welcome my little sister!"

"Come on, Idia, give your stepmother a toast!"

Why a stepmother?!

Before she could even utter a riddle, Idia began her performance in Qi Yan's arms.

She leaned slightly forward, raised her hand in a scissor gesture to her eyes, winked at Kal'tsit, and said sweetly:

“ciallo~”

"Not enthusiastic and lively enough, pay attention next time!" Qi Yan chuckled and stuffed a cookie into Idia's mouth.

Kal'tsit's face darkened, and she said coldly:

"Looks like you're really free. I hope you can still be this relaxed after Qi Lin catches you."

"Hilarious! I'm not afraid of my little sister!" Qi Yan arrogantly raised his chin, then turned and ran away.

M3, who was playing with a Namiball not far away, pounced over instantly, grabbed Qi Yan by the collar, and helped him lift his feet off the ground.

"M3, how could you do this to me?" Qi Yan struggled and said, "Have you forgotten the bond between us, the connection we share, the vastness of the earth and the riches of the land?"

M3 was stunned by Qi Yan's series of fabricated historical events and subconsciously let out a soft roar.

Taking advantage of the moment its mouth opened, Qi Yan decisively broke free, dropped Idia in his arms, and ran away.

Unfortunately, some people were already aware of Qi Yan's little tricks.

A flash of green light, a symbol of despair, appeared in front of my eyes.

The sun and moon revolve, and the stars reawaken.

A massive fleet of ships from the inland landed on the outskirts of Granfallow. The residents, who had long been driven out of town, were so terrified by the steel torrent before them that they dared not utter a sound.

On the fleet, the judicial troops and cavalry quickly spread out, surrounding the town on three sides.

As the procession moved along, a girl named Rupert, with an expressionless face, seemed somewhat out of place. She strolled slowly through the imposing crowd, yet no one hindered her.

Following the scent, Qi Lin ventured alone into the deserted town of Granfallow, eventually stopping in the central square.

Under the cold moonlight, she saw a strange little girl with white hair squatting on the ground, eating her rice with complete focus. Above the little girl's head, on the sculpture in the center of the square, hung her own older brother, who was tied up like a mochi fry.

The stirring music was coming from the chapel next to the square, as if a band was performing in this lonely town.

Qi Lin felt a special, damp power emanating from the music.

The shimmering, fluorescent Netherworld began to twist, and a large number of bizarre, terrifying fish struggled to emerge from the ground. Their genes made them realize that this force was driving them away and that they could not fight it.

Idia stopped eating, opened her small mouth, and emitted the unique frequency of communication between the sea creatures, pointing out the retreat route to her compatriots.

The town was surrounded by an army on three sides, with only the side facing the sea being passable.

The Sealings are torn between protecting their nests and preserving their strength.

"Ugh, ugh ugh ugh!"

Qi Yan twisted his body frantically, desperately trying to signal Qi Lin with his eyes to untie the tape from his mouth.

Qi Lin frowned, her heart filled with doubt, but she still tiptoed to help Qi Yan tear off the tape.

"I'm free!" Qi Yan cried out as soon as he was freed. "I can feel an impulse calling to me!"

"What are you going to do?" Qi Lin sensed that something was wrong.

"It's the power of music!" Qi Yan roared to the sky.

Qi Lin's expression changed drastically, and she reached out to stick the tape back on.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't outrun Qi Yan's mouth.

"This feels like flying! This feels like freedom!"

Qi Yan didn't care whether his wolf howls matched the music playing in the chapel; he freely expressed his love for music: "In a star-studded sky~ dancing in the wind~ with a brave heart that never cries~"

Qi Lin's fluffy tail instantly bristled, her ears drooped down like airplane ears, and all the color drained from her face.

She realized she had made a mistake, but it was too late to stop it.

The music in the chapel stopped abruptly, and the conversation between the boys fell silent.

Only Qi Yan's singing voice grew louder and louder!

Idia collapsed to the ground, stretching her arms forward with all her might. For the first time, a vivid expression appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face, but it was one of fear.

The trembling sea lizard withered, and the ferocious fish tumbled and crawled, dragging their convulsing, collapsed brethren with their mouths as they desperately rushed toward the ocean.

Escape from land!!

Escape from land!!!

Chapter 1042 Qi Lin: Who is she?

The rising sun paints the surging waves with a golden hue.

Today, however, the waves crashing against the beaches and rocks along the shore seemed somewhat empty and powerless.

An eerily quiet atmosphere permeated the coastal town.

On the streets, the ripples have withered, and there are no longer any traces of the terror fish or the residents.

Outside the town, there was a harmonious atmosphere between the military and civilians; everyone was hiding in their tents, and no one suggested returning to the town.

As the sun sets, the four band girls sit on the ground in a circle, their eyes glazed over. They put away their beloved instruments without prior arrangement.

They are giants who chose to come to land from the sea because of their love for music.

But now, they're having the idea of ​​hiding back in the sea.

Not far from them, Kal'tsit could no longer hide the exhaustion in her eyes, and even dark circles had appeared under her eyes overnight.

But she wasn't the worst off.

After all, she and Carmen had retreated to the outskirts of town with the townspeople long ago, and the impact they suffered was greatly reduced due to the distance.

"Qilin, are you alright?" Kal'tsit asked the girl in front of her in a low voice.

Qi Lin lowered her head, and after two seconds slowly raised it, her voice a little dry as she said:

"I'm fine. I'm sorry, Dr. Kal'tsit, I made that mistake last night."

“No, it was my carelessness.” Kal’tsit rubbed her temples. “I originally intended to leave Qi Yan in town to keep an eye on things in case of any accidents, but I forgot that he was the accident.”

At least... Hai Si won't come ashore anytime soon, or even approach the coastline, making our subsequent operations much easier.

"Mmmmm!"

At their feet, Qi Yan, bound like a caterpillar with duct tape wrapped from his mouth to his neck, struggled frantically.

Kal'tsit looked at Qilin with a questioning gaze.

"He said it was all his credit," Qi Lin translated.

Kal'tsit pursed her lips.

Before she could unleash her riddles in frustration, the shapeshifter, looking worried, strode over.
