Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Blood flowers bloomed one by one.

As Amiya continued to cast spells, a diamond-shaped phantom in her pupils gradually became clearer, and more and more emotions flooded into her mind.

The ring on her finger trembled slightly.

The magic became increasingly powerful.

Amiya had no idea how long she had held on; in the dimly lit underground passage, time seemed to have ceased to exist.

But time is now the most important resource.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Everyone else has already left safely!"

A roar reached Amiya's ears.

She suddenly awoke with a start, staggered backward, and the magical light in her palm dissipated.

All I could see was crimson.

A warm chest shielded Amiya from falling.

"Little rabbit, you've already tried your best."

Qi Yan picked up Amiya, turned around, and followed the Reunion Movement's retreating ranks.

An Originium bomb exploded, and with a deafening roar, the underground passage collapsed into ruins.

Amidst the dust and smoke, figures in black raincoats appeared, staring at the blocked passage before them, falling into silence.

After a moment, someone finally spoke up:

"Is anyone hurt?"

"No one was injured... but one person is missing."

Upon hearing this result, the man in the black raincoat who had spoken turned around, his gaze lingering on his companion.

“It couldn’t have been buried. I’ve been standing at the front and searching behind.”

As soon as the order was given, the black raincoats quickly moved through the passageway.

Soon, they found their unconscious companion, stripped of his clothes, in a sewage ditch.

"Wake him up and ask him what happened!"

The leader in the black raincoat immediately gave the order.

The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the underground passage, one after another, and as soon as one person got tired, someone would immediately line up to take their place.

"I have already..."

The man in the black raincoat, who had been rescued from the sewage ditch, covered his face and angrily kicked away his companion.

He glared angrily at his companion, then composed himself and said:

"Just now during the battle, I was suddenly knocked unconscious by a member of the Reunion Movement. The opponent was very strong, and his distinguishing features were white hair and golden eyes. He was a member of the Lupo race."

After hearing the man's report, the leader in the black raincoat felt a slight stirring in his heart.

"This characteristic... coupled with the black magic of that Reunion mage just now... something's not right, report to Miss Lin immediately!"

Wei Yanwu's face was extremely ugly.

Wen Yue looked at him curiously.

Without Wen Yue having to ask, Wei Yanwu took the initiative to explain:

"I just received a report that we encountered Qi Yan and Amiya from Rhodes Island in the underground passage. They were wearing Reunion clothing."

"...Rhodes Island's young leader and strongest fighter have joined the Reunion Movement?" Wen Yue almost doubted that she was hallucinating.

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath.

He desperately hoped that the communication he had just received was just a hallucination.

“Although I don’t know exactly what happened, that’s the fact. I have a rough idea of ​​why Kal’tsit is angry.” Wei Yanwu sighed. “Rhodes Island is really getting out of control. We really need to terminate the cooperation between the two sides, otherwise it may affect Lungmen.”

The damage caused by a Calamity-level powerhouse wreaking havoc in Dragon Gate is incalculable.

Wen Yue folded her hands and placed them gracefully on her lap.

Based on a woman's intuition, she felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

“Kal’tsit once said, ‘Your methods are being used by a madman,’” Wen Yue reminded her.

Wei Yanwu looked somewhat nervous. He immediately picked up his terminal and entered the contact number.

Regardless of what actually happened, there is at least one thing he is very clear about now.

That means Rhodes Island is no longer a suitable partner.

He must immediately inform Chen, reminding her to be vigilant about Rhodes Island, and if necessary... expel it directly from Lungmen!

But before he could make the call, the terminal received Chen's message first.

Wei Yanwu quickly answered the call.

"Governor Wei, the doctor from Rhodes Island asked me to tell you that Rhodes Island's team in Lungmen wants to terminate its cooperation with Lungmen."

Chen's first words stunned Wei Yanwu.

He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by Rhodes Island's team in Lungmen?"

"It means exactly what it says. It is currently under the full command of the Doctor and is fighting against the Reunion Movement inside Lungmen."

Chen's tone was calm, even somewhat cold: "He said this decision was entirely his own. If you have any objections, you can go and talk to Ms. Kelsey."

Now, because Lungmen not only abandoned Rhodes Island before, but also harbored a private army and was doing things contrary to Rhodes Island's creed, nearly causing losses to Rhodes Island's operators, he expressed his anger.

Wei Yanwu fell silent for a moment.

This is the second time that an agreement has been unilaterally torn up by him.

Wei Yanwu once again clearly understood the meaning behind Kal'tsit's words that Rhodes Island was spiraling out of control.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

“Officer Chen, I agree with Rhodes Island’s decision. Now, please use the Guard Bureau’s resources to send Rhodes Island out of Lungmen. They are in a very dangerous situation right now.”

"I'm sorry, I refuse this order."

Chen replied without hesitation, "I also have a question that I need you to answer."

"what is the problem?"

"Who exactly are those people in the black raincoats, and what mission are they on?"

"...This is unrelated to Officer Chen's mission."

"I understand, I will investigate it myself."

Chapter 081 Another Perspective

A busy tone indicating that the communication has been disconnected was heard from the terminal.

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath and suddenly felt a urge to smoke.

Being betrayed by Rhodes Island was bad enough, but now even his own niece has stabbed him in the back.

"Life is not worth it," Wei Yanwu sighed.

Wen Yue carefully observed Wei Yanwu's expression and said softly:

"It seems you're not in such a hurry, and you even have the leisure to joke around with yourself here."

“How could I not be worried?” Wei Yanwu slowly picked up the terminal again. “If Hei Suo sees what she’s doing, given her personality, the situation could completely spiral out of control.”

The call was answered immediately after it was dialed, and a loud, energetic voice came through:

"Governor Wei, what are your orders?"

Wei Yanwu smiled and said:

“Miss Swire, Officer Chen is a bit emotional. In order not to affect the next operation, I would like to trouble you to help me persuade my friend.”

Sometimes, it's easier for you young people to communicate; we old folks can't even get two or three sentences out before our tone turns lecturing.

"My relationship with her isn't that good, but since it's Governor Wei's order, I'll still do my best."

After ending the call, Wei Yanwu leaned back on the sofa, wanting to smoke, but noticing Wen Yue's gentle smile beside him, he forced himself to refrain.

Just as he was racking his brains, trying to figure out how to get his wife away, the terminal on the table suddenly vibrated.

Upon hearing the voice from the terminal, Wei Yanwu's body trembled slightly.

He was genuinely frightened by Chen's communication.

Picking up the terminal and looking at the number on it, Wei Yanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness it wasn't that girl Chen. It's true that other people's children are always the most worry-free."

Wei Yanwu chuckled as he connected the terminal: "Miss Lin, is there anything else you need to report..."

"Request support!"

In the underground passage, Amiya went from being held by Qi Yan to lying on Qi Yan's back.

Her head rested on Qi Yan's shoulder, her body trembled slightly, and her rabbit ears drooped down, clearly indicating that she was not in good condition.

"Little rabbit, are you still holding on?" Qi Yan asked. "Should I take you to see a doctor?"

Amiya knew that the doctor Qi Yan was referring to was Kal'tsit.

"...I'm fine. Protect these people and get them back first."

Amiya's voice was weak, but her tone remained firm.

Qi Yan nodded without saying anything.

However, a member of the Reunion Movement standing nearby offered words of comfort:

"Hold on a little longer, and we'll soon reach a safe place where there are doctors. And judging by the time, the Yeti team should be arriving in Lungmen by now."

Everything will be alright as long as the Yeti team arrives.

Amiya tightened her grip on Qi Yan's neck slightly.

Qi Yan smiled and chimed in:

"I feel like things are getting better, and I'm even starting to think about having a big celebration after I escape."

"You're right. Once we escape this time, I'm definitely going to eat two potatoes and treat myself properly."

The Reunion member immediately burst into laughter.

His laughter seemed to infect those around him, easing the tension in the crowd somewhat.

"You lack ambition. If you ask me, you should add a white flour steamed bun to your list!"

"Sigh, all I want is to get a good night's sleep. A couple of days ago, when I was hiding in the slums, I found an abandoned mattress. It was so soft. I miss it so much."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say things like that. It makes us sound so pitiful."

"They were already so pitiful."

As the group was talking, they suddenly burst into self-deprecating laughter.

Amiya lay on Qi Yan's back, not understanding why these people could laugh.

Her gaze fell on a woman.

The woman was mixed in with the Reunion Movement's group; judging from her clothing, she should be a member of Lungmen.

Her condition was similar to everyone else around her; she looked somewhat disheveled. However, the Demon King's authority, which had not yet been completely suppressed, told Amiya that there was no panic in this woman's emotions, only disappointment and determination.

Amiya overheard the woman's conversation with the Reunion Movement members beside her.

"We're sorry, we implicated your Lungmen infected," the Reunion member said. "Also, thank you for saving me just now."

The woman shook her head: "I'm just trying to save myself. The evacuation of the infected from Lungmen needs the cover of your Reunion Movement."

The Reunion member sighed:

"But if we hadn't attacked Lungmen, you could at least still live a peaceful life."

Is it peaceful, or a slow march towards death?
