Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

More importantly, like me, unlike those pioneers who couldn't see the future, we both have our own goals to pursue.

"Hey, why are you being so serious? Is it just so you can talk badly about other people behind their backs?" Qi Yan said with a half-smile.

Sonny shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, and said seriously:

“I’m not joking. You and I have both witnessed the indifference of those big shots. You couldn’t have been unaware of the hidden dangers in that experiment contract with Dorothy.”

"I'm new here, and Dorothy didn't show me the contract," Qi Yan said, spreading his hands in an innocent manner.

"Do we really need to look at the contract for something like this?" Sonny's tone was full of resistance. "Those big shots only care about profits. In their eyes, infected people are just a group of walking laborers and disposable expendables."

Listen, Extreme, I have never been willing to spend the rest of my life in the wilderness. I must seize every opportunity to earn enough money to pay for the Infected Insurance and then return to the city to reclaim the life that is rightfully mine.

You're in the same boat; at least our current goal is to enter Tremont, so we should cooperate.

"Appreciate further details."

"The core of my plan is that experimental contract."

Sonny's voice was slightly distorted with nervousness: "This afternoon, while the other pioneers were cleaning up the waste in the experimental park, you came in with me to sneak into the park. I've already figured out a safe route."

We'll investigate Dorothy's experiment thoroughly and find out the truth. If... I mean, if the experiment really wasn't wrong, then we'll sign the contract.

After hearing Sonny's entire plan, Qi Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

He quipped, "You didn't have any information at all before you judged Dorothy to be an evil big shot."

Sonny's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

But Qi Yan's teasing hadn't stopped: "But you just don't believe Dorothy, and you still want to grab the olive branch she's offering."

Isn't this a classic case of wanting both ways—acting like a prostitute while also trying to maintain a virtuous image?

Chapter 1140 Qi Xiaobai: Infiltrating the enemy's lair? I'm an expert at this!

Sunny was furious after Qi Yan's retort.

His red hair was a bit bristling, and he glared angrily at Qi Yan, but still didn't dare to raise his voice:

"After going through so much, even losing your best brother, how can you still trust those important figures?"

“You’re wrong, Sonny. I don’t trust so-called big shots.”

Qi Yan corrected, "In fact, in my eyes, so-called big shots, or so-called pioneers, or even infected and non-infected, are all the same to me."

I won't label someone based on their identity or stance. My actions towards someone are solely based on what that person has actually done.

Sonny was so angry that his temper flared up slightly.

He felt that Qi Yan's words made a lot of sense, but were too unrealistic.

"So you mean you're going to reject my offer to collaborate?" Sonny questioned. "You're planning to slowly get to know Dorothy on your own and then make your own judgment?"

"No need."

"I have already met Dorothy and have my own judgment."

Sonny was startled.

Qi Yan joined the Pioneers because he was personally introduced to him. Qi Yan appeared from the wilderness looking disheveled and dirty. Although he was not injured, he looked like a wild man.

Since joining the pioneers, Qi Yan has never been out of my sight for long.

So when did Qi Yan come into contact with Dorothy?

Sonny couldn't quite understand it, but considering that beneath the other person's carefree exterior lay a ruthless individual who had traversed thousands of miles across the wilderness seeking revenge, Sonny felt it made some sense.

If the other party didn't have some skill, they would have died in the wilderness and become a pile of Originium dust long ago.

The more Sonny sensed that Qi Yan was extraordinary, the less willing he was to give up such a perfect partner.

“Extreme, are you really determined to sign that contract?” Sonny forced a change in tone and pleaded, “If you think it’s okay, then I’m willing to trust you this once. Please take me with you.”

"Once I get back to the city and reclaim my lawyer's license, I can help you in return. Aren't you looking for a filmmaker? You need me!"

"Okay," Qi Yan readily agreed.

Before Sonny could show any joy, Qi Yan continued:

"This afternoon, we'll proceed according to your plan. We'll infiltrate the experimental park and investigate the truth behind the Dorothy Experiment."

"Didn't you already investigate?" Sonny asked, puzzled.

“You misunderstood. I was talking about Dorothy herself, not her experiment,” Qi Yan shook his head and said. “Actually, I’m very interested in Dorothy’s experiment. I’m very curious about the progress of Dorothy’s experiment.”

"You guy..."

For a moment, Sonny was unsure how to evaluate the person in front of him.

"See you this afternoon, I'm going to find a corner to slack off."

Qi Yan patted Sonny on the shoulder, then turned and the dog sneaked away.

Sonny resisted the urge to kick the guy in the butt and turned back to pack up the stealth gear he had prepared beforehand.

In order not to embarrass himself in front of 'Extreme', a professional wilderness survivalist, Sonny racked his brains to come up with a so-called stealth plan. He prepared no less than three things, including route planning, anti-surveillance tools, and even countermeasures if his whereabouts were exposed.

When he finally found Qi Yan, who was slacking off, with a backpack full of stuff, he discovered that the guy was curled up in an empty wooden crate in the scrap warehouse, fast asleep.

"Hey! What about your preparations?"

Sonny shook Qi Yan awake somewhat hastily.

"Pure beauty? Where can you find pure beauty?"

Qi Yan groggily woke up and suddenly exclaimed, "The pure and beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!"

Sunny was so frightened that she immediately covered Qi Yan's mouth and looked around.

Fortunately, since this was a waste warehouse, only the pioneers were there, engrossed in their work, and the Rhine Life Defense Department employees in charge of supervising the work did not enter the warehouse at all.

"Are you crazy?"

Sonny breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't help but fly into a rage.

Qi Yan scratched his head, finally waking up from his sleep, and admitted his mistake with a sheepish smile:

"I was so sleepy that I accidentally wandered onto the wrong film set."

Seeing that this guy verbally admitted his mistake but showed no remorse on his face, Sonny couldn't help but rub his temples.

"What do we do now?" he said, his head aching. "You overslept and didn't prepare any stealth gear. We're going to miss this rare opportunity."

What props should we prepare?

Qi Yan peeked into Sonny's backpack and mocked without restraint, "Don't tell me you're going to use these things to cosplay as Kaito Kid."

He didn't understand what Kaito Kid was, but he understood Qi Yan's sarcasm.

"I know my little tricks are laughable in your eyes, but it's better than you not being prepared at all, right?" he retorted with dissatisfaction.

"Are you stupid?"

Qi Yan gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "Didn't Dorothy openly invite the pioneers to sign contracts with her?"

Why don't we just openly and legitimately enter the experimental park under this pretext?

Sonny was instantly dumbfounded.

Qi Yan chuckled, shook his head, climbed out of the wooden crate, and led the way toward the warehouse door:

"Don't worry, I'm an expert at this kind of operation, there won't be any problems!"

Sonny paused for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening, and hurriedly caught up with him, lowering his voice to say:

"But even if we make contact with Dorothy, we can't carry out any further actions. How could she possibly let us see the truth about her own human experiments?"

"Did she personally reject you?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.

"Why should she even need to refuse? It's impossible no matter how you look at it!" Sonny couldn't help but start to go crazy.

"It's unlikely for others, but it's very likely for Dorothy."

Qi Yan said firmly, "Let's go. I'll take you to see the truth. Just lie down and wait for me to take you flying."

Sonny seemed to want to speak but hesitated, his legs following closely behind Qi Yan without missing a step.

The two men walked out of the scrap warehouse, immediately attracting the attention of the defense department employees who were supervising from a distance.

"What are you two doing out here instead of working?" an employee in protective clothing asked, stepping forward.

"I've had enough!" Qi Yan exclaimed dramatically. "When will this kind of work ever end? I'm going to see Director Dorothy. I'm going to sign a contract with her. Isn't that just selling myself to her? I'm just a worthless person, what am I afraid of!"

The defense officer who stepped forward was taken aback by Qi Yan's words and stammered:

"This...you still need to..."

"Nothing is needed."

Qi Yan waved his hand, interrupting, "Take me to see Director Dorothy right now. Friend, you don't want Director Dorothy to lose two experimental subjects who are willing to cooperate because of your own reasons, do you?"

Defense Section Staff: "..."

He was actually threatened by a pioneer?

But when he thought about how this matter was related to the director of Rhine Life, he really didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

A hint of pity flickered in the eyes of the defense officer beneath his helmet. He shook his head, turned, and led the way, not bothering to argue with the two men he already considered dead.

Even though Director Dorothy has a good reputation within Rhine Labs, she is still a director!

How could anyone easily endure the human experiments conducted on these important figures?

Since their Defense Section Chief, Seria, left, their Defense Section has lost its only protector, and more and more shocking truths have begun to be revealed to them without restraint.

"You two still have a chance to back out. As long as you go back to work, I can pretend I never saw you."

The defense staff walked ahead, leaving without turning back to deliver a warning.

They didn't answer, but continued to happily survey the surrounding buildings.

Seeing this, the defense staff said nothing more.

That was all he had to say.

He also felt reluctant, but faced with the cold reality, he, an insignificant person, could only force himself to adapt and accept it.

The subjects walked into the lab and were carried out sideways to get the results.

There were even quite a few test subjects who were taken out in batches, stuffed into pockets...

Chapter 1141 Naughty Child

"Ifrit, you're playing with the terminal again."

Hemer, carrying a stack of documents, went back to his rest room at Experiment Base 359 to check, and unsurprisingly found a certain mischievous kid secretly using a terminal to surf the internet.

Ifrit was so startled that she dropped the terminal in her hand and had to catch it twice before she could catch it again.

She turned her head, looking embarrassed at Hermer's tense face, and shrank back, trying to argue:

"I just used the terminal to contact the professor and ask him a question."

Hermer's expression became even more serious: "Making mistakes is not terrible, but not daring to admit your mistakes is terrible."

Ifrit, I'll ask you one more time, were you secretly playing with the terminal?

"Waaah... I know I was wrong." Ifrit became honest. "I was actually secretly chatting with Rosemary. The large group network is so interesting. We are so far away, Rhodes Island is on the border with Columbia, and we can still communicate stably."

As she spoke, Ifrit couldn't help but get excited again.

She put away her terminal and ran to Himer's side, ingratiatingly helping Himer lift the stack of documents, and said with a grin:

"Rosemary said that Dr. Kal'tsit has decided to bring her and the Doctor to Trimont City. Let's go pick her up then."

Hemer sighed helplessly.

She also knew that Ifrit was at an age where she craved playmates and new experiences the most.

“If you want to pick up Rosemary, you can.” Hamer turned and continued walking down the corridor, “but you must finish all the homework I assigned.”

Ifrit followed behind Himer, clutching the documents, her lips pouting so much she seemed to want to push the ceiling open.

She muttered a complaint: "Actually, I've finished most of my homework, but there are some questions I really don't understand. Hemer, did you assign questions that were beyond the scope of the curriculum?"
