Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Just as Qi Yan was cursing inwardly, someone next to him nudged him with their elbow:

"You just tripped and fell, are you sure you're okay with continuing the fight?"

"No problem, if a fight really breaks out, I'll stand behind and cheer you on. Rhodes Island can't hurt me at all," Qi Yan said confidently.

The members of the Reunion Movement fell silent.

They then tacitly changed the subject, leaving Qi Yan standing aside.

Qi Yan shrugged, feeling quite content.

While the effects of the sanity serum were still lingering, he focused his attention on listening, constantly eavesdropping on the conversations of the Reunion Movement members.

Instead of finding the mastermind behind his scheme, he heard other, more interesting things.

"Now that half of our Reunion Movement's leaders have been captured by that Qi Yan, do we really have a chance of winning the attack on Lungmen?"

"Honestly, I think if Qi Yan keeps holding on, the Reunion Movement could be incorporated into Rhodes Island."

"The Reunion Movement, but reuniting in a Rhodes Island prison cell... that sounds rather tragic..."

All the members of the Reunion Movement couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Their conversation paused for a moment, then continued.

"We still need to have faith in the Reunion Movement. Even if Talulah is held back by Qi Yan when a real fight breaks out, we still have the Patriots and the Yeti Squad."

"I heard that the Yeti Squad is coming to Lungmen to provide support after they finish dealing with the Chernobog ruins."

"Hopefully, before that happens, Shattered Bones won't be captured by Qi Yan either."

The Reunion Movement members have fallen silent yet again.

The conversation was going nowhere; everything was tinged with a sense of misery.

Qi Yan genuinely didn't expect that his arrest would actually break the morale of these members of the Reunion Movement.

Seeing everyone fall silent, Qi Yan felt he should liven things up and do his part for the organization.

He coughed lightly and said seriously:

"Let's try to look on the bright side. Shattered Bones might not get caught. Given his current behavior, he might just get beaten to death."

The movements of the integrated movement all paused in unison.

Even Broken Bones, who was leading the way, couldn't help but freeze for a moment, as if he wanted to turn his head, but in the end he held back.

"Quiet, the Rhodes Island team is speeding up." The voice of Broken Bones seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "The enemy may be about to meet the Lungmen Guard. Everyone, be careful to conceal yourselves."

The Reunion Movement members immediately fell silent and scattered to find cover.

Qi Yan deliberately shuffled forward and squeezed behind a cover not far from the broken bones.

He then peeked out and saw that Rhodes Island had indeed joined forces with the Guard Bureau ahead.

Amiya and Chen exchanged a few words, but Qi Yan couldn't hear what they said because of the distance. However, Misha and the children were soon transferred to the Guard Bureau team.

Qi Yan turned to look at Sui Gu and found that the latter was quietly watching Misha and had no intention of making a move.

He couldn't help but lower his voice mischievously:

"Bone Shatterer, Qi Yan isn't here. Let's ignore that traitor and just take action."

Broken Bones seemed somewhat tempted by what he was being said, constantly peeking and peering at the Guard Bureau's team.

After their previous encounters, Rhodes Island's team already had a clear idea of ​​what to expect.

They have the strength, and that suspicious hooded man is a very capable commander, but Shattered Bones is still confident that they can force their way through.

As for that Guards unit...

Sui Gu's gaze lingered on Chen and a tall woman standing next to him.

Those two people must be the leaders of the Guard Bureau.

Does this guy with skinny arms and legs, and two knives at his waist, think he's a circus acrobat?

As for the tall woman, she was holding a huge triangular shield, and it was clear that she was responsible for absorbing damage, so she wasn't much of a threat.

This time, I have the advantage!

His heart pounded slightly, and his finger rested lightly on the trigger.

The Reunion Movement members around them instantly perked up, waiting for Shattered Bones to open fire. They then swarmed forward and charged at the two teams.

At the critical moment, a hand suddenly pressed down on Broken Bone's shoulder.

"Don't be impulsive. I think we should stick to the plan. Qi Yan is just missing, not dead."

He looked at the Reunion member who had ruined his plans and realized that it was none other than the squad leader who had chased him and the Doctor so hard that their legs almost broke.

Boy, you are ready to die!

Qi Yan secretly glared at the squad leader.

The squad leader felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason and shivered slightly.

But at this moment he had no time to concern himself with such details, and urgently advised:

"If we attack now, there's a high chance we'll lure Qi Yan back from where he disappeared, and then we'll be doomed."

It would be better to stick to the original plan: after Rhodes Island leaves the team, keep harassing them to distract Qi Yan and prevent her from paying attention to the Guard Bureau. The rest can be left to that traitor; she's quite capable.

Shattered Bones hesitated for a moment, then released his finger from the trigger, clearly accepting the suggestion.

Seeing this, Qi Yan was so angry that he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

A perfectly good show was ruined just like that.

Misha quickly completed the handover, and Amiya also separated from Chen to continue leading the team to carry out reconnaissance missions in the slums.

Sui Gu immediately led his men to follow, and after walking a distance, launched an attack without hesitation.

This time, however, Amiya and the others were clearly prepared, using the complex terrain of the slums to constantly increase the distance between themselves and the broken bones.

"Don't let them get away. We have to corner them in a dangerous situation before we can lure Qi Yan over."

At Bone Shatter's command, all Reunion members launched an attack.

Qi Yan mingled in the crowd, constantly moving closer to the squad leader who had ruined his plans.

Just then, the Rhodes Island team that had been fleeing ahead suddenly stopped and turned around at the end of a dead-end road.

Sui Gu felt a sudden jolt and immediately realized that he might have fallen into a trap.

Before he could even warn them, a large number of figures dressed in Rhodes Island uniforms appeared in the buildings on both sides of the street.

A barrage of crossbow bolts and spells rained down.

The momentum of the Reunion Movement immediately turned into chaos, with people covering their heads and trying to hide in the roadside cover.

But the next moment, a large number of Rhodes Island operators jumped out from behind those bunkers and started hacking and slashing at the Reunion Movement members.

"Danger! Retreat!"

Shattered Bones shouted for a retreat, but he kept advancing, trying to use his firepower to cover the others.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qi Yan successfully reached the squad leader and grabbed his clothes:

“This way, I’ve found a gap in the Rhodes Island team.”

In the chaos, the squad leader didn't have time to distinguish and instinctively ran along with Qi Yan's pull, rushing into the building next to him.

He then stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the Rhodes Island operators filling the building.

Looking back, Qi Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 055 Remember to help me cut it twice

"My darn thing!"

The squad leader was on the verge of tears and ran away as fast as he could.

The Rhodes Island operators inside, realizing what was happening, drew their weapons and gave chase.

In an instant, all sorts of crossbow bolts and spells flew in from behind the squad leader like an explosion.

But every time it got close to the squad leader, it seemed to be guided by an invisible force, brushing past his body.

Qi Yan, who was watching the show from the shadows, raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It was a defensive Originium Arts! How could he have gotten away with that? I'll have Dobermann double your training when we get back!"

He didn't continue to cause trouble.

He only tricked the other party once because the other party ruined his good show.

Given Qi Yan's personality, he wouldn't actually go around accusing people of seeking death.

Even if there was a stranger on the street who was about to starve to death, Qi Yan would not share the food he couldn't finish. Similarly, as long as the other party didn't jump in his face and cause trouble, Qi Yan was too lazy to kill anyone.

Watching the squad leader scramble away, Qi Yan tiptoed away.

He hadn't gone far when he discovered that all the Rhodes Island operators had their eyes fixed on him at the same time.

Without hesitation, Qi Yan made a quick escape.

This time it was his turn to flee, tumbling and crawling, and as he ran, he didn't forget to turn back and shout:

"I'll remember you guys. When we get back, I'll have Doberman quadruple your training volume and train you to death!"

The Rhodes Island operators were baffled, so they attacked even more viciously.

After Qi Yan escaped with his head covered in dust and returned to the main force of the Reunion Movement, Sui Gu also rushed back.

He was also injured, clearly indicating that his act of drawing fire for others had been extremely dangerous for him as well.

"The traitor has succeeded. Everyone, retreat."

Upon hearing this news, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The group quickly withdrew and evacuated out of the slums.

Unbeknownst to them, a curious 'traitor' was still among them, unaware of who the culprit was.

"Are you hurt?"

Chen frowned as he looked at the woman who was a head taller than him. Her huge shield still bore charred marks from the explosion.

The woman shook her head and asked in a deep voice:

"Why didn't our support troops arrive? And the enemy's behavior is also very strange. The leader is clearly out of sync with the other ordinary soldiers. Even after the leader snatched Misha, it took the ordinary soldiers a long time to react."

Chen's lips tightened, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant:

"Hoshiguma, I don't know the situation inside the Reunion Movement, but I have bad news: our support forces have suffered heavy losses."

Hoshiguma was startled.

That unit is an elite force of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, and its combat strength is definitely top-notch.

"It was the Supreme Leader of the Reunion Movement, that Dragon Girl, who made her move." Chen's expression was somewhat inscrutable. "Nearly 20% of the support troops were killed or wounded, and many more suffered burns of varying degrees. This is even after the enemy didn't kill us, only attacking us a few times before leaving."

Hoshiguma's grip on the shield tightened involuntarily.

Even just hearing Chen repeat it from his mouth, she already felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Is this... Talulah, the so-called humanoid calamity?"

Hoshiguma's throat was a little dry.

Chen didn't want to discuss this topic any further, and turned his head to say:

"It's not all bad news we've received. Another Guard Bureau team just spotted a Reunion Movement squad attempting to infiltrate Lungmen City. After a battle, they captured most of them alive. Hopefully, we can extract some useful information from them."

Hoshiguma's mood finally calmed down a bit, and she nodded, saying:

"Now that the enemy is hiding in the shadows, our one-sided defense will inevitably lead to mistakes. We must find an opportunity to launch a counterattack."

So, what should we do now?

"We don't need to be personally involved in the interrogation."

Chen turned his head to look in the direction the Reunification Movement had retreated:

"That girl named Misha carries a very important secret, and we must not let her fall into the hands of the Reunion Movement."
