Poseidon in Arknights

Author: Lingfeng Yuepo

Summary:

Due to an accident, Yuuki unexpectedly arrived in the world of Terraria. Fortunately, it wasn't Warhammer or Terraria, but Arknights.

Volume One

Chapter 1: The Doctor

"Wake up, doctor! You've got work to do again!"

As Xiyue leaned against the rock wall, feeling drowsy, someone pulled her up.

"Well!"

Xi Yue snapped out of her daze and looked at the person who had pulled her up. He was burly with a fierce expression and a scar on his face. He had a pair of animal ears on his head, and a cat tail behind him was wagging and sweeping the dirt on the ground without a care.

The dim cave was finally illuminated by the torch held by the other party.

In the firelight, one could see that the cave had been converted into a simple prison cell. Old iron bars were stuck in the ground against the rock wall, almost touching the top of the cave, leaving only a narrow gap.

The person being imprisoned was leaning against the wall, with his hands handcuffed by two slightly larger iron hoops. It looked as if two iron bars were bent and then used to cuff his hands, and the two hoops were connected by an iron chain.

Then, the iron chain was threaded through the narrow crack in the iron bar at the top of the cave, trapping the person inside. It was simple and crude, but it was sufficient for the girl trapped there.

In the firelight, the girl's dark eyes stared at the cat-eared man.

"Is it again?"

"Yes, doctor, that's enough. Don't rest anymore, there are still people waiting for you to save." The big man lifted Xiyue up, threaded the iron chain through the tiny gap above, and then carried her away.

"Before that, give me some water and food. You haven't brought me anything for three days. I'm your only doctor. How about you treat me a little better, you bandits?"

"I'll take you there after the doctor finishes the surgery. The boss's punishment for your escape last time isn't over yet."

After a while, the big man led Xiyue out of the dark cave. Xiyue hadn't seen the sunlight for several days, and her eyes had suffered a momentary blindness due to light exposure.

Xi Yue closed her eyes instantly, using her eyelids as a barrier to allow her eyes to gradually adjust to the bright sunlight outside.

After a while, the big man tossed Xiyue off his shoulder.

"Hmm, be gentle, okay? If you hurt me, I'd like to see where you robbers are going to find a doctor."

"Stop joking, doctor, hurry up."

Xi Yue pursed her lips and looked at the person lying on a makeshift wooden bed.

"A knife wound on your left forearm and an arrow in your thigh. Oh, it seems you can only be the old village chief of the heroes from now on."

The person lying on the bed, gripping a weapon, muttered, "Doctor, don't try to distract yourself and escape."

“I’m not so hungry that my mind is blank, nor am I stupid enough to try to run away when you’re holding something and there’s someone blocking the door behind me.”

Xi Yue said perfunctorily to the person on the bed, and then took out the needle and thread she had prepared for him from the box next to her.

Of course, don't expect these needles and threads to be proper sewing threads. Some of these needles and threads were fine threads that the bandits stole from the village when they robbed it, which they used to knit clothes.

Some of them were stolen from caravans when they robbed them.

As for whether these needles and threads could be used for suturing, or whether there would be a risk of infection, Xi Yue didn't care about any of that, or rather, she wished that these bastards would die from wound infection.

After clamping the needle tightly with a pair of tweezers, Xiyue reached into the burning torch beside her.

After a while, I took it out and blew on it. Then, I quickly threaded the prepared thread, wet my hands a little, and started sewing it with the needle and thread, which were still warm at the tip.

During the stitching process, the person lying on the bed grimaced in pain, clearly indicating that the doctor performing the surgery was not friendly.

After a while, the stitches on the wound on my arm were a mess, with many unnecessary stitches. It was obvious that a doctor had done something shady.

Looking at the work before him, Xi Yue nodded in satisfaction, completely unconcerned. The person lying on the bed, seeing his fierce gaze, turned his attention to the arrow still stuck in the other person's leg.

Shaking it slightly made the person lying in bed look even worse.

But when Xi Yue saw it, she just smiled, then forcefully pulled the arrow out, causing the person lying on the bed to sit up in pain.

"what!"

Blood kept gushing from where the arrow had been pulled out. Xi Yue didn't intend to do anything about it. She took some cotton from a box next to her, then wrapped it with a relatively clean cloth and pressed it directly onto the wound.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

The person lying on the bed subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, about to swing it, but he stopped himself and reluctantly put it down.

Upon seeing this, Xiyue paid no attention to the other party raising and lowering the weapon. She took out duct tape from a box and used even more force to press the cloth bag tightly before wrapping it around the robber's leg.

Turning to the cat-eared robber standing at the door, he said, "The treatment is complete. Take me to eat."

As for why Xiyue dared to use such underhanded and brutal methods to treat him, it's not clear why she did so.

It's because she knows she's their only doctor here, and as long as Xiyue doesn't do anything out of line, like running away, they won't do anything for the time being.

Just as Xiyue had expected, the cat-eared robber standing at the door saw the robber on the bed grimacing in pain, wanting to hug his leg but afraid of aggravating his wound and making him even more uncomfortable, and his mouth twitched slightly.

He certainly saw Yuuki's rather brutal treatment, but he wouldn't say or do anything more, at least not until Yuuki tried to escape again.

The reason is simple: it would be too difficult to recruit another doctor like Yuuki, and their success in recruiting Yuuki also involved a bit of luck.

As robbers, it was commonplace for them to get injured. Their gang had been established for less than a year, but there were far too many people who died from serious injuries, whose wounds went untreated, or who suffered infections after their injuries.

To get good treatment, you have to see a doctor, but those doctors are almost all in mobile cities, or at the very least, in clinics in small towns with fixed residences.

But they all wanted money, and the reason they became robbers was, of course, because they didn't have much money. As for the little money they robbed, they basically spent it on spending it on entertainment.

As for robbery, how capable are they of robbing a mobile city? As for clinics in small towns, doctors who dare to open clinics there usually have several guards protecting them.

Moreover, if they dared to go in and rob, those doctors would be the fastest to run away.

As for Xiyue, they encountered her on their way back from a robbery. The leader saw that she was traveling alone and figured that since they had already seen her, even a small mosquito is still meat, so he quickly grabbed Xiyue.

However, when searching the backpack, they found that half of Yuuki's backpack was filled with various medical supplies, and then they realized that Yuuki was an extremely rare lone doctor.

So the gang leader quickly stopped the bandit who was raising his knife to kill Xiyue, and took Xiyue back to the stronghold, forcing him to treat her.

To be honest, looking back on this incident, the cat-eared robber felt fortunate.

You should know that this land never discriminates when it comes to devouring people. Whether they are good or bad, good people are even eaten faster and more cleanly.

The same applies to doctors, so doctors usually work in mobile cities or open clinics in fixed places like small towns.

However, a small number of doctors choose to leave the safety of clinics or hospitals and come to the desert; these people are known as practicing medicine.

Those doctors either traveled with caravans or hired their own mercenaries for protection, and those who dared to travel alone were usually very good fighters.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for someone like Xiyue, who travels alone but has no combat ability, to appear on this land. Even if she did, she would have died long ago on this man-eating land.

As for the girl's rejection of them and the underhanded tactics she used during treatment, they weren't stupid; of course they noticed.

However, the boss had given orders to treat them well, and they did indeed need a doctor, so they had no choice but to accept the underhanded tactics of Xi Yuexia. At least in the month since she arrived, none of their companions had died or been injured.

In fact, during the last escape attempt, someone suggested to the leader that they break Xiyue's legs, but they were stopped by some of their own people.

The incident that day almost caused a conflict, leading to a split within the gang. In the end, the leader could only punish Xiyue by keeping her locked up in the cave. He didn't bring her food or water for three days, and then it seemed to just fizzle out.

In fact, even in this small shack, there are several people sitting outside. They are all people whom Xiyue has saved several times, pulling them back from the brink of death.

He dared to say that if they were really going to use violence against Xiyue, those people would rush up to stop them.

As a doctor, pulling people back from the brink of death is something that in itself is enough to garner goodwill, not to mention that she saved more than one person.

He was actually the boss's confidant, which is why he was allowed to enter the cave and pull Xiyue out.

In these three days, more than one person had tried to sneak into the cave to bring food to Xiyue, but he stopped them all.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating to the point where a group of people were angry, he could only smile and say to Yuuki, "Of course, let's go, Miss Doctor."

Xi Yue followed the cat-eared robber out and saw several people sitting around her. She smiled gently at them.

They smiled back at Xiyue, then they also got up and followed at a distance.

Soon, after finishing her meal, Yuuki was taken back to the cave, but this time, the iron chain was not put into the iron bar, which Yuuki was happy to accept.

I found a flat spot and leaned against the rock wall.

"System, tally the results from just now."

A screen of light, visible only to her, was projected in front of him.

Treatment completed: Statistics completed

[Injured person: One knife wound on the left forearm, one arrow wound on the right leg: Treatment completed]

[Treatment plan for left forearm knife wound: suturing, surgery completed. During the surgery, the score decreased due to substandard surgical instruments and excessive suturing.]

[Treatment plan for arrow wound to the right thigh: Bandaging, surgery completed. The bandage was not used as prescribed during the surgery, resulting in excessive bleeding and a decreased score. The bandaging equipment was not sterilized, further contributing to the decreased score.]

[Surgical Environment Evaluation: Harsh, lack of standard surgical instruments, classified as difficult, score increases]

Overall rating: D–

[Evaluation: Poor surgical technique; the patient suffered greatly, but the harsh environment prevented further criticism.]

[Reward: System patch upgrade in progress, reward will be postponed]

"It's not updated yet."

Xi Yue didn't care about the evaluation during the surgery. She could do better. Even with arrow wounds that were difficult to suture, she could suture them properly.

She simply didn't want to, but with systematic training, her surgical skills would be no less than any top doctor's, including suturing.

He was naturally not a native of this land, a fact evident from the fact that he possessed no racial characteristics whatsoever, though the bandits paid no heed.

They seem to think that Yuuki is Liboli with his ear feathers plucked.

The girl died in an accident and then unexpectedly arrived on this land. When she learned from the system that she was in Terra, she was shocked, thinking that she had come to Warhammer.

Fortunately, after more detailed questioning, Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief, because this was not Warhammer or Terraria, but the relatively peaceful Terraria in Arknights.

Of course, this "peace" should be in quotes. This land has suffered greatly. Oripathy is rampant, and on the borders of civilization, all sorts of threats are always ready to ravage this land.

Therefore, when Yuuki learned that the system would not provide the host with any combat power, she raised objections.

However, the system ignored her at the time, and Yuuki had no choice but to accept the fact that she was a weak doctor with no fighting ability.
