Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Next time you have any intelligence, you'd better tell me immediately, otherwise I can't guarantee there won't be a syringe stuck in your throat!"

He chuckled dryly and reassured her, "Don't be arrogant or impatient. Older people shouldn't have such strong emotional fluctuations... Hey, you're really sharp!"

Dodging the thrown syringe, Qi Yan raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

The painkillers injected into Kal'tsit's body gradually took effect.

Her body stopped trembling slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Kal'tsit carefully put the key to the core city into her pocket and said:

"The destruction of the stone coffin is both a good thing and a bad thing. That thing must not fall into the hands of certain forces, otherwise it will become a terrifying weapon."

This operation is still necessary, not only to seal the sarcophagus, but also because the core city's energy zone is located there. To stop the core city, we must make that trip. I hope the damage you've caused won't hinder my and the Doctor's progress.

"Don't worry, we have the M3."

Qi Yan pointed to the M3 that was silently rebuilding itself and laughed, "Let it supervise the Doctor's excavation of the ruins. If the Doctor dares to slack off, give it a swipe. Its efficiency will be absolutely top-notch!"

"Are you even human?"

The doctor was so angry that he started cursing.

Ignoring the two who were cursing and wrestling, Kal'tsit looked at Amiya and instructed her:

"Hold fast to your beliefs, Amiya. No matter what happens, don't be confused. Follow your heart."

“I will, Dr. Kal'tsit.”

Amiya's face was serious.

"There's no need to be so nervous," Kal'tsit said reassuringly. "With Qi Yan around, if you encounter any danger, remember to shout for his help."

"Okay!"

Amiya's fluffy rabbit ears twitched slightly, clearly indicating that she was in a good mood.

Kal'tsit said nothing more and commanded M3 to begin operations, rescuing the Doctor who was being humiliated by Qi Yan, and quickly leaving the scene with the Doctor in tow.

After Kal'tsit and the Doctor completely disappeared, all the Rhodes Island operators looked at Amiya and Qi Yan.

"Amiya, from now on, you'll have to go through this journey alone."

Qi Yan pointed to the towering command tower not far away: "Little rabbit, charge!"

Amiya grinned at Qi Yan, showing her white teeth, then bid farewell to the Rhodes Island crew and embarked on her journey to the Command Tower alone.

On the other side, the guerrilla fighters voluntarily made way for them, as if bidding farewell or welcoming the birth of a king.

The girl from Felin, who was about the same age as Amiya, walked up to Qi Yan and asked:

"Why not let us stay with Amiya? Even if Ursus's army lands in the core city, Qi Yan can stop them, right?"

"Of course, I do have the ability to wipe out an army by myself," Qi Yan chuckled. "However, many times, relying solely on strength is not enough to go very far. Humans are social animals, and we need companions."

"I don't understand."

Film Girl's expressions are always so straightforward and direct.

Qi Yan raised his hand, ignoring the other person's resistance, and ruffled her hair:

"Rosemary, you should understand that you also possess great power, but what you seek is your companions, your family on Rhodes Island."

"you know me?"

Rosemary tried twice but found that she couldn't resist Qi Yan's power at all, so she simply gave up struggling.

“Yes, I know you and I know a little about your past.” Qi Yan smiled and continued, “So I have a task for you: leave the main force, find the engineering team on Rhodes Island, and stay with them.”

"Are you... deliberately trying to get rid of me and prevent me from fighting?"

Rosemary's expression tightened, and she resisted Qi Yan's words again.

"Quite the opposite."

Qi Yan said gently, "I sent you to the engineering team so that you could fight."

But not now, fighting for orders, nor for revenge; fighting to protect those who are important to me.

"Engineering team, is there danger?" Rosemary immediately understood the meaning behind Qi Yan's words.

"Look at what you're saying. Right now, in the core city, where is there any safe place besides me?"

Rosemary had no interest in continuing her idle chatter with Qi Yan; she raised her hand to summon her sword and shield.

But when she waved her hand, she found that she couldn't sense the presence of the sword and shield at all.

Rosemary was clearly confused. She looked down and found her personal terminal, searching for something on it.

However, the records in the terminal did not contain what she wanted.

A Rhodes Island logistics operator realized something, her eyes filled with concern, and stepped forward to remind her:

"Rosemary, your sword and shield were destroyed in the battle just now. Have you lost that memory as well?"

Rosemary blinked her green eyes, and following the words of the logistics officer, her gaze swept across the battlefield. Only then did she realize that her sword and shield had been shattered and lay quietly in the ruins.

"Well, I see."

Rosemary didn't ask any further questions. Her first reaction was to record everything Qi Yan had just said into her terminal.

The logistics officer, his eyes filled with concern, looked at Qi Yan and asked for instructions:

"Let me stay by her side. Maybe I'll just be a burden to her in battle, but I can remind her of some things."

“This is the task I assigned to Rosemary. You also have your own task,” Qi Yan said, shaking his head. “Please give this little cat some trust, and she will respond with facts.”

Rosemary turned her head, took a deep look at Qi Yan, and suddenly raised her hand to take a picture of Qi Yan with her terminal.

In the photo, Qi Yan is looking directly at the terminal with a bright smile.

"Well then, I'll be leaving now." Rosemary said goodbye to Qi Yan and quickly headed towards the engineering team.

"Hopefully, this will save the unlucky guys from the original storyline."

Qi Yan didn't take the matter he had casually arranged to heart.

Death is a common occurrence on this land, and he doesn't have the energy to save everyone.

A Rhodes Island operator approached and handed Qi Yan a specially designed in-ear communicator.

"This is a communicator left behind by Dr. Kal'tsit. It was enhanced with Originium Arts by our elite Rhodes Island operators and can enable communication within the core city."

Qi Yan took the communicator, put it in his ear, and then, under the guidance of the operator, quickly figured out how to operate it.

"Hey, you, the guy who's drunk and getting chased and beaten up by the bear girl, can you hear me?"

From the communicator came Extreme's delighted voice: "You finally got through to the communication channel... huh?"

Why are you using Dr. Kal'tsit's ID? Wait a minute, is command going to fall into your hands?!

Chapter 115: Do you even understand the value of tactical flaws?

"Hahaha!"

Qi Yan laughed wildly.

He smugly spoke into the communicator: "That's right, I'm the commander now. I order you to run to the top of the tallest building and shout 'I'm an idiot' to attract the enemy's attention and provide support for our troops to encircle and annihilate them."

Rhodes Island will forever remember your sacrifice, may your heart be with you!

"Sacrifice you my foot! You wait until we get back to Rhodes Island, I'll get my best son and force-feed you until you're dead..."

Before Jijing could finish his cursing over the phone, the call was abruptly cut off.

Then a woman's voice rang out:

"Mr. Qi Yan, the situation is extremely urgent. Ursus's army group is approaching. According to my estimation, they are nearing one of our engineering teams. Please give instructions immediately."

Qi Yan chuckled lightly and said calmly:

"I've already made arrangements over there; however many army groups go, they will all die."

I wasn't entirely joking with Extremis just now. Now, your vanguard squad needs to step up and draw the army group's attention to the location of the Rhodes Island forces. I will then circle around to their rear and cut off their retreat.

Let's create a pincer movement against the Ursus Army Group!

"A very simple and straightforward arrangement, provided that Rhodes Island can withstand the overwhelming force of the Ursus Army Group." The woman's voice was calm and steady.

"You can rest assured about that; we now have a powerful battlefield commander."

Qi Yan turned his head and glanced at Patriot, who was still surrounded by medical operators, and chuckled, "With Patriot here, even if he doesn't participate in the battle, our team's combat capability won't be much weaker than if the Doctor were to command us personally."

What we need to do next is to use all means and weapons to teach Ursus a lesson.

Don't worry about how many resources this battle will consume; it's military spending, and we can't skimp on it.

"...Your command style is strange, truly deserving of the tactical planning flaws listed in your personnel file." The woman on the other end of the line joked, then changed her tone, "But I really like it. Your command is much more interesting than Kal'tsit's."

"Then let's give Ursus a surprise together!"

"Report, D4 team has lost contact."

"Were they attacked?"

"I don't know. There's been no news. It's as if they just vanished."

"It seems the enemy in the core city has begun to fight back."

A fully armed Ursus man ended the communication, his eyes revealing cruelty and excitement beneath a mask protecting him from Originium dust.

He didn't care about the deaths of his squad.

The small team of a dozen or so people was just an insignificant fraction of the large force he now commanded.

"The Reunion Movement... and Rhodes Island, now that you've met me, stay in this city forever."

He was about to give the order to have his troops crush the enemy when he suddenly received another communication.

"General, there's a situation ahead. A strange Liberi has appeared in front of us, taunting us wildly in the Ursus language."

The Ursus general frowned slightly and pressed for confirmation: "Can you confirm the other party's identity?"

"I don't know. Their clothing has obviously been altered, and there are no distinctive decorations visible. But based on our deductions, it's highly likely they are from Rhodes Island."

General Ursus clicked his tongue and cursed:

"Don't spout this nonsense in the future. If there's no way to prove it, even an idiot could figure out the other person's identity, so it's worthless."

Ignore him and keep going.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a piercing electrical noise coming from his communicator.

Immediately following, a voice that sounded incredibly irritating suddenly appeared in their communication channel:

"Hey, can you hear me, Ursus? I'm the Liberian standing in your way."

General Ursus immediately realized that this was the opponent's Originium Arts, which should be a special ability related to voice communication.

"So, what do you want to say?" General Ursus asked in a cold voice.

Excited laughter came from the communicator:

"I'm here to reveal my identity. My commander is an idiot who sent me here to provoke you. It's obviously a suicide mission, so I made the decision to betray the organization and join the powerful Ursus."

General Ursus was somewhat surprised.

The surprise came so suddenly.

He readily agreed, saying, "Ursus approves of your choice. As long as you report your organization's intelligence, including its identity, stance, and personnel arrangements, I can personally recommend you to join Ursus."

"That's great!"

A joyful cheer came through the communication, followed by his excited statement: "Our commander's plan is to surround you all and then slaughter you all without leaving a single one alive."

As for our identities, it's simple: we're all your fathers!

General Ursus's breath hitched, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"You are courting death!"

"Oh dear, look at you, you're getting anxious."

The communicator was crushed by General Ursus.

His breathing was slightly rapid, and his eyes were almost spitting out fury: "All troops, listen to my order! Turn around and capture that Li Boli!"
