Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Amiya and Talulah were no longer in the group.

In a corner not far away, Chen, who was alone with Jiu, looked at the Rhodes Island team, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Qi Yan looked around and noticed that many familiar figures were missing from under the command tower.

The Phantom Crossbowmen and the refugees from Lungmen had all left, leaving only Jiu still talking to Chen.

Even Eldo had left with them.

A guerrilla shield guard stepped forward and handed a letter to Qi Yan:

"Left to you by a man named Eldo."

Qi Yan took the letter and opened it to read.

"Qi Yan, I'm really excited to know you. I'll have great material to brag about when I'm drinking with others in the future."

I think maybe if I apply to join Rhodes Island, with your connections, they'll agree. Then I can finally find some peace in this shitty life.

However, in the end I didn't do that. Rhodes Island is great, but it might not be right for me.

I am a member of the Reunion Movement. That used to be my identity. I joined the Reunion Movement with hatred in my heart, but the things I have experienced recently have made me realize that I am a member of the Reunion Movement, and I want to fight for the rights I deserve as an Infected.

I left alone. Mondstadt is still among the refugees in those core cities. The refugees have all been taken in by you Rhodes Island people. That guy called Doctor has been shouting that Rhodes Island is not a charity organization, and that these patients have to stay and work for Rhodes Island after receiving treatment on the island. Heh, interesting guy, just as despicable as you.

If we can meet again, I hope it will be a peaceful day, not like today, when we're so busy we barely have time to exchange a few words.

I'll treat you to drinks then, and Mondstadt too. With you there, I'm not afraid that guy will go on a drunken rampage... if you don't go on a drunken rampage yourself.

Finally, I hope we meet again someday.

"What ugly handwriting."

Qi Yan smiled and put the letter into his pocket.

Patting his pockets, Qi Yan's gaze swept across the guerrilla ranks as he asked:

"Why haven't we seen the old man?"

"The captain seems to have discovered something, refused our permission to follow, and left alone."

Just as the shield guard finished speaking, he saw Patriot slowly walking back from a distance.

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Patriot's massive figure return, and joked:

“Old man, I thought you were going to get stubborn again and not plan to come to Rhodes Island with me.”

Kal'tsit took a deep breath, then exhaled weakly without saying a word.

Patriot walked to Qi Yan's side and slowly shook his head:

"I only discovered that the emperor's sharp blade was used to persuade them to leave. This war is over, and should be over. Continuing to fight is meaningless."

As for my destination, it should be the tundra, or some other oppressive place, but definitely not Rhodes Island.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan's smile vanished, and he suddenly turned and left.

Patriot paused, then asked, "Qi Yan, where are you going?"

"I'm not in a good mood. Before those emperors' blades go far, I'll capture them. I remember that Ursus injected fragments of those northern demons into their bodies. I plan to release the demons inside them. If I can kill them, I'll kill them; if not, I'll just release them in a crowded place." Qi Yan said expressionlessly, "Killing a few people for fun when I'm in a bad mood is perfectly reasonable, right?"

Patriot was speechless for a long time.

This is a threat, a naked threat.

Seeing that Patriot remained silent but did not agree, Qi Yan suddenly called out:

"Grandpa, pull your mask up a bit and open your mouth."

Patriot hesitated for a moment, then did as instructed.

Then Qi Yan flicked a candy into Patriot's mouth, the spicy and stimulating taste exploding in Patriot's mouth.

Patriot's breathing became slightly rapid.

Qi Yan grinned mischievously and popped one into his own mouth, calmly sucking on it.

Why aren't you reacting?

"Because Frostnova loves me so much, she fed me like crazy on Rhodes Island, and I've developed antibodies from it."

Qi Yan said without blushing or panting.

Patriot paused for a moment, then exposed Qi Yan's lie: "Your candy isn't spicy, it's not Froststar's."

Qi Yan grinned mischievously, "It was given to me by the General. He has also joined Rhodes Island. I have already helped you fulfill half of the agreement you made with him last time. Frostnova and the General's adopted daughter met once in the hospital room."

Now, the remaining half depends on your own decision. Will you keep your promise?

"...The guerrillas, and those comrades who sacrificed their lives, cannot stop," the patriot insisted.

Qi Yan turned to look at the guerrillas beside him.

Those people were all wearing thick gear, especially the shield guards at the front of the group, who were practically wrapped up like iron barrels.

A dilapidated iron bucket.

Qi Yan walked over, poked the shield guard who had given him the letter, and said:

"Uncle, could you take off your helmet?"

The shield guard removed his helmet, revealing an ordinary face underneath, which at first glance even appeared somewhat thin.

After removing his helmet, the shield guard's face looked out of place with the equipment he was wearing, as if it had been forcibly attached to him.

“Look, sir, what’s on this uncle’s face?” Qi Yan asked.

The Patriot, puzzled, scrutinized the shieldbearer until he made the shieldbearer appear somewhat nervous, then slowly shook his head.

"Nothing, nothing at all. I don't understand what you mean."

“I just want you to see that there’s nothing on that face.” Qi Yan looked directly at the Patriots. “They have no complaints or regrets. They never put any heavy responsibilities on your shoulders. They all just want you to get some rest.”

Don't be bound by the past. The past is like a persistent nightmare, constantly haunting us. I have failed, but fortunately, I have a chance to start over, so I want to give you the same chance.

Old man, let us strive to make a living for the living, not to die for the dead.

Patriots fell silent again.

The Froststar candy slowly melted in his mouth, the spicy kick flowing into his stomach and bringing a burning sensation.

My heart seems to be racing uncontrollably.

The guerrillas were all watching Patriot, and so was the shieldman, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Qi Yan suddenly remembered something and looked at the shield guard, asking, "Uncle, how old are you?"

The shield guard paused for a moment, his emotions almost becoming disjointed, and stammered:

"I'm not even fifty years old yet."

Qi Yan frowned immediately, his face serious as he analyzed:

"You're not even fifty yet, but that means you'll be soon. You'll be fifty in the blink of an eye, and once you're fifty, rounding it up, you'll be a hundred!"

I see that you guerrillas are all around the same age, wow, a bunch of centenarians!

How could I tolerate this? We're going to the island! We absolutely must go to the island! Everyone, go to the nursing home!

Kal'tsit could no longer hold back and snapped:

"Rhodes Island doesn't have that much land, and you've never built any nursing homes. Wake up!"

Amidst the indescribable screams of lynxes, the propellers of Rhodes Island's 'Bad Guy' roared as it slowly descended.

Chapter 128 The Strange Sarkaz

Pedestrians strolled leisurely along the street, always glancing up at the towering Governor's Palace as they passed by.

However, they didn't see anything special; the Governor's Palace building was spotless.

Inside the building, a tall woman nervously tidied her long green hair.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Hoshiguma, what are you so nervous about? It's like you're applying to Rhodes Island for the first time."

Swire walked gracefully to Hoshiguma's side: "It's been almost a month since the Chernobog incident ended and Old Chen left Lungmen for Rhodes Island to treat Oripathy. You've been there quite a few times during that time."

Hoshiguma grinned at Swire's teasing:

"I'm just afraid of being accused of colluding with Rhodes Island after my promotion. On the other hand, you don't seem to have any concerns at all, making it seem like you're going on a picnic."

Swire straightened her elegant dress and gave a soft hum:

"Who can control me?"

"...You're right, Miss."

Hoshiguma shook her head, not wanting to continue on this topic that was destined to make her sad. She took a deep breath and walked towards Wei Yanwu's office.

They both stopped in front of Wei Yanwu's office.

Surprisingly, there were no guards at the office door, and the door wasn't even closed.

Swire instinctively tried to peek over the shoulder, but Hoshiguma stopped her.

Even so, Swire still caught a glimpse of what was happening in the office:

"A blue-haired angel... or a Sarkaz?"

She was seriously injured.

Hoshiguma quickly whispered a reminder: "Don't look around. What if they're discussing something important with Governor Wei?"

Swire blinked, thinking it made sense, and then focused his attention and hid behind the door to eavesdrop.

"Ahem, you two, please come in."

Wei Yanwu's voice came from inside the office: "Miss Swire, your voice is as loud as ever. Don't try this kind of self-deceiving eavesdropping trick next time."

"Hey? Is there any?"

Swire showed no embarrassment at being caught eavesdropping; instead, he was more concerned about the loudness of his voice.

Hoshiguma followed her into the office and apologized to Wei Yanwu:

“I’m sorry, Governor Wei, we came to apply for permission to travel to Rhodes Island, and we didn’t mean to see you meeting this guest.”

As he spoke, Hoshiguma subconsciously glanced at the blue-haired woman covered in blood inside the office.

At first glance, the other party should be like Miss Exia, whom she had met once before. She is a Sarkaz, with an angelic halo above her head and wings of light behind her, which can be said to be the most conspicuous feature of this continent.

What puzzled Hoshiguma was that the blue-haired woman's halo and wings were somewhat dim, and in addition to the features of the Sarkaz, she also had black horns similar to those of the Sarkaz, as well as a small demonic tail behind her.

The blue-haired woman noticed Hoshiguma's scrutiny, turned her head, her blue eyes meeting Hoshiguma's, and nodded politely in greeting.

"Um... miss, are you injured?"

Hoshiguma was somewhat worried.

The blue-haired woman smiled nonchalantly and casually wiped the blood off her face a couple of times.

“Don’t worry about this minor injury. My name is Mostima, and I’m a messenger. I’m here to deliver a message to Governor Wei.”

As she spoke, the area of ​​bloodstains on her face was smeared larger and larger.

Mostima hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up struggling, letting himself smile at Hoshiguma with his face covered in blood.

Hoshiguma took a deep breath, feeling that she had found the material for her nightmares tonight.

Wei Yanwu coughed lightly and said generously:

"I have approved your applications."

"Thank you, Governor Wei. We won't bother you any longer."

Hoshiguma understood that Wei Yanwu meant to send them away, so he quickly pulled Shi Huaiya away.

Before they could leave, Wei Yanwu and Mostima were already chatting away, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

Even though Hoshiguma felt she shouldn't listen, she couldn't stop the conversation from reaching her ears.

“Governor Wei, I am here on the Pope’s orders. He asked me to ask you what you ate this morning and what you plan to eat tonight?”

Where did the Riddler come from?
