Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Doctor... thank you."

"Don't thank me, go thank Kal'tsit, because she will become your closest comrade-in-arms from now on."

"Doctor, do you already have a comprehensive plan?"

"It wasn't really a plan; I just promised a friend I'd come to Colombia to find an answer."

The Doctor seemed to have finally finished setting up his terminal and stretched comfortably: "I returned to Rhodes Island from Sami a while ago. Kal'tsit's behavior was very strange. She spoke in riddles, gave me the cold shoulder, and tried to make trouble for me in various ways, but she never asked me what I experienced or did in Sami."

Before we set off, Kelsey secretly hid in the archives all night searching for information. She must have known what Columbia had to offer, and in the end, she set her sights on Tremont.

"Saria, how many secrets can such a small place as Trimont possibly hold at the same time?"

Seria didn't know how to answer.

Because she didn't know from what perspective the doctor was speaking at that moment.

Trimont, as a large mobile city-state in Colombia, is a place where many people may never leave in their lifetime, making it too easy to hide a few secrets.

But at this moment, the aura that the Doctor unintentionally revealed was enough to make Saria feel wary.

What terrifying information could a secret that a doctor in this state be interested in represent?

"Saria, if nothing unexpected happens, what Kal'tsit is looking for is the same breakthrough point you're using to find Christensen. Go find Kal'tsit; she's right next door."

"I understand."

Saria nodded, turned and quickly fled from the Doctor's side, who was making her somewhat nervous at the moment.

After Saria left, the Doctor's gaze returned to his terminal.

"Dear netizens, haven't you been having a great time these past few days, eating me gossip and harvesting my 'collection'?"

A dangerous smile curled at the corner of the doctor's mouth beneath his mask: "Now, I'm going to start reaping the rewards."

His finger tapped lightly on the screen.

With the help of the extremely low latency of the large group's external network, almost all the devices storing the doctor's 'collection' experienced lag at the same time.

"I'd like to borrow your computing power, my lovely 'zombie' birds."

At this moment, countless terminal devices are connected into a matrix through a large network of external networks, and the massive computing power even caused the large network of external networks to be overloaded for a moment.

Then, these terminal matrices began to lock onto the IP address of the doctor's mobile phone these days.

Kroos, who was pondering which little secrets of the Doctor she had revealed today in Kazdel, suddenly froze, noticing that the terminal in her hand was lag.

"What's going on? I just upgraded this device two weeks ago. Did I buy counterfeit parts?"

Kroos was about to clean up her background processes when she discovered that her terminal was becoming increasingly slow and laggy, eventually turning into an expensive brick.

Kroos: ?!

"Oh no, someone is attacking me with a DDoS attack!" The moment she realized what was happening, she immediately turned on the desktop terminal next to her.

Then, to Kroos's astonishment, her high-end desktop computer, which she had longed to take into bed with her, was reduced to a pile of expensive scrap metal a few seconds later.

"What happened? A large number of external networks have been hacked... No, it's the Doctor!"

Kroos grabbed her hair and screamed in agony.

"Kroos, do you want your terminal?" The Doctor's voice came from Kroos's now-bricked terminal. "Or rather, do you want to keep the data on your terminal?"

"Doctor! What are you doing!" Kroos screamed.

"I have some important business to take care of in Columbia, so I'll be quite busy. Do you know what to do about Lungmen?"

Hearing the doctor's undisguised threat, Kroos was so angry that she showed her two sharp little fangs.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm just working for Qi Yan. There's a reason for this, and the debtor should be held accountable. What kind of skill is it for you to bully me!"

"It's because we can't beat the white-haired dog."

Seeing the Doctor's shameless admission, Kroos was so angry that she was almost sent to Warfarin for emergency treatment.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. I wasn't joking when I said I'd be very busy soon."

The doctor's tone returned to seriousness: "I've come to Colombia this time to give a final account of some people and some things, and to send the white-haired dog on its way."

"Try to have Amiya come to Colombia when you have time."

Chapter 1166 Feng Shui Master Qi Xiaobai Appears Online

Accompanied by Blake, Qi Yan stepped into a modern military base filled with technological sophistication.

“Mr. Qi Yan, this is the ‘Horizon Arc Light Project’ base. The building in front of you is the core functional equipment of the ‘Arc Light One’ weapon, the energy well.”

Blake explained the base in detail, as if Qi Yan were completely unguarded.

Qi Yan looked in the direction Blake was pointing.

Despite being called an energy well, the towering building in front of us is not a traditional well structure. While the underground structure has been opened up, the surface structure of this building is equally magnificent.

Qi Yan looked up at the towering top of the energy well but didn't offer any opinion.

In fact, he couldn't understand the intricacies of the matter at all.

Blake dismissed these 'toys' as beneath Qi Yan's notice, and continued his explanation as he led him into the energy well:

“We have taken Nastya into custody. According to the cooperation agreement between the military and Rhine Labs, this experimental base was built under her leadership.”

Qi Yan responded with a faint "yes".

Seeing that Qi Yan seemed to be thinking about something, Blake wisely shut his mouth and began to focus on leading the way.

The two moved freely through the energy well and successfully arrived at a room guarded by a large number of soldiers.

Blake went up and opened the door.

As Qi Yan entered the house, he saw a gray-haired woman wearing a brown coat, with a large number of decorative ribbons in the classic style of this land wrapped around her chest, waist and legs.

The woman was a Sarkaz, a banshee.

Her long gray hair was simply tied up and hung down her back. She sat in the room, casually twirling a pen in one hand and holding a newspaper in the other to pass the time.

When someone came in, the woman merely glanced at them before continuing to read her newspaper.

“Nasti, this is Mr. Qi Yan,” Blake introduced.

Upon hearing Qi Yan's name, Nasti looked up again. This time, she simply nodded to Qi Yan as a greeting before returning her attention to the newspaper.

"What news in this newspaper is more tempting than me?"

Qi Yantian shamelessly boasted, then leaned closer to take a closer look:

"Oh, it's about Christensen. Never mind then."

Blake: "..."

Nastya always had a cold expression on her face, as if she were separated from everyone.

Turns out she was also a huge fan of Christensen?

What magic does Christen possess?

Nasti, interrupted by Qi Yan's words while reading the newspaper, could only fold it up and set it aside, asking indifferently:

Blake preemptively asked, "Has Holhaya already handed you the black box of the focuser?"

“Yes.” Nasti readily admitted, “I had already compiled the relevant data and was preparing to write it into the energy well improvement plan when you took control of it. The data is still in my work terminal. If you want it, go find it yourself.”

Faced with Nastya's cooperation, Blake was somewhat at a loss.

"Is there anything else?" Nasti asked Qi Yan.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you."

Qi Yan pulled over another chair and sat down next to Nasti.

Nasty's pointed ears twitched slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her light green eyes, but she didn't rush to speak.

Qi Yan looked the female demon up and down.

As a banshee, Nasti possessed a breathtakingly beautiful and exquisite appearance. However, whether it was due to her excessive focus on scientific research or her natural physique, she appeared rather thin, except for the generous bosom typical of the Sarkaz race.

"Don't you usually eat properly?" Qi Yan couldn't help but complain.

"Is your so-called cooperation based on my health problems?" Nastya asked calmly, almost indifferently.

"Don't get me wrong, this is just basic concern for a pretty lady." Qi Yan grinned, showing his big white teeth. "The content of our cooperation is about this energy well."

“Then you should talk to Blake. I’ve been exposed and am currently a prisoner.”

"Blake doesn't know anything about technology."

Blake was inexplicably criticized, and he pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.

Qi Yan patted Nasti on the shoulder familiarly, and said in a somewhat mystical and pretentious tone:

"Have you noticed anything wrong with this energy well, or this so-called 'Arc Light One'?"

"What's wrong with it?" Nastya was clearly intrigued.

"The feng shui is bad."

Nastya's newly developed interest vanished instantly.

She turned to look for her newspaper.

"Stop reading, you can't increase your attack power by reading the newspaper."

Qi Yan pressed down on her arm and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you. Feng shui is very important. Look at the location of this energy well, Columbia Plain. What a great place that is!"

"You could dig down anywhere in this area and probably unearth the grave of some unknown ancestor, maybe even one of your Sarkaz ancestors, or even a morgue from a prehistoric civilization."

Nasti: "..."

She glanced at Qi Yan, somewhat confused as to whether he was deliberately hinting at her or had inadvertently revealed the truth.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me shy," Qi Yan said shyly.

“The energy well has been completed; only minor modifications remain. Relocation would mean tearing everything down and rebuilding it,” Nasti cautioned.

“I’m not interested in this so-called ‘Arc Light One’,” Qi Yan waved his hand. “What I mean is, let’s abandon Columbia, you provide the technology, I provide the funding, my good brother provides the land, and we can go to Shelag and build a new space base.”

Kjerag is the highest mountain range in this land; if you want to reach the heavens, that's a better place.

"Huh?! Wait a minute!" Blake sensed something was wrong.

Why are these two suddenly going their separate ways?

"Mr. Qi Yan, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?" Blake said nervously from the side. "How can you poach people like this?"

Nasti also shared her opinion:

“These are weapons, and strategic weapons at that. There’s no way Sherag would agree to that.”

Qi Yan spoke frankly and openly:

"Whether it's a weapon or not, Blake doesn't know, but don't you?"

Qi Yan ignored the two men's surprised and uncertain expressions and continued speaking to himself:

"Applying this technology to fighting and killing is a complete waste of resources. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot. If someone not only thinks that but also does it, then they are the biggest idiot, without exception."

I've paved the way for the Haizi to fly into the sky, to gnaw through the barriers and build a global network. If we don't develop space technology now, break free from the earth's constraints, and glimpse the truth of the world, when will we ever get another chance?

Unfortunately, my good friend SilverAsh's team has been technologically lagging behind due to geographical limitations.

I vouch for this: as long as Rhine Life actively shares technology with Kjerag and achieves a win-win situation, he'll be so happy he'll jump out of some idiot's bed!

Chapter 1167 When looking up at the sky, one must not ignore what is beneath one's feet.

Blake felt he was about to break down.

Who did I offend?

Why do you two always have to insult me ​​indirectly when you talk to me?

Yes, I don't understand technology.

Yes, I used 'Arc Light One' as a weapon.

Yes, I didn't expect Rhine Lab to have such a strong sense of unity. Nastie was actually willing to give up her honor and benefits working for the military to become an undercover agent for Christen in order to help Christen.
