Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

His expression changed, and he quickly pushed W away, forcing a dry laugh as he looked at his suddenly appearing younger sister:

"Of course we're discussing battle plans... But wait, did you install radar on me? How come you always appear at the perfect moment?"

Qi Lin gave Qi Yan a disdainful look, then turned and left.

After Qi Lin had walked away, W deliberately stirred things up, saying, "She's panicking, she's panicking!"

"Whether she panics or not is not important. What's important is that I really suspect she's planted radar on me." Qi Yan searched his clothes up and down. "You're an expert in this area. Why don't you come back to the dorm with me? I'll take off my clothes so you can have a thorough check."

Qi Lin's figure appeared silently behind Qi Yan.

Chapter 101 Come at me if you have a problem!

"Run! Run! We're going to die!"

Qi Yan scrambled out of the Rhodes Island ship's gate and dove into the off-road vehicle parked on the deck.

Frost still clung to his tail.

W followed closely behind, her little face pale from the cold, and crawled into the car, huddling up in a ball.

"What kind of monster is your sister? Her combat power is something the medical department should have!!"

"You're the monster! Your whole family are monsters!"

Qi Yan decisively switched sides and launched a barrage of attacks at W.

Then he saw his younger sister's familiar figure appear in the ship's gate, and hurriedly started the off-road vehicle, launched it, and fled the scene.

Qi Lin gave a soft hum, dispelled the Originium Arts from her fingertips, and turned to disappear behind the door.

A moment later, a Rhodes Island field team arrived at the ship's gate, looked at the empty deck, and were left bewildered.

Where are our vehicles for dispatch?

"How could such a big car just disappear like that!"

"Wuhu! This is what freedom feels like, Tata Kai!"

Qi Yan gripped the steering wheel with one hand, leaned half his body out of the window, and floored the accelerator. The SUV sped across the desolate wilderness, trailing long plumes of dust.

W, holding a grenade launcher, leaned out of another window and fired a shot at a group of Originium Bugs feeding in the distance.

Amidst the roar, the Originium Bugs were blasted into countless pieces.

"Talulah, I'm back again!"

Their arrogant laughter echoed across the wilderness.

Ahead of them, a huge phantom gradually emerged from the horizon.

Qi Yan stared at the faintly visible shadow of the core city and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:

"When this thing is parked on the ground, you don't really notice it; it's just like an ordinary city. But once it's in motion, you realize just how enormous this thing really is."

W on the other side curled his lip and said disdainfully:

"This is just the core city of Chernobog. If the entire mobile city were to be activated, that would be truly spectacular."

It must be said that the mobile cities that people have developed to escape natural disasters are truly amazing.

"Such a big city, it's such a waste that it fell into the hands of the Reunion Movement. If only it were mine." Qi Yan sighed. "I would use it all to open nursing homes. Then the city would be full of old men, and I would make a fortune from their retirement fees."

"Otherwise, you're crazy too."

W rolled her eyes.

She then noticed a team appearing at the end of her line of sight.

“Stop the car. Those people are probably Reunion Movement members and refugees who escaped from Lungmen.” W was excited. “If we blend in, we might just be able to see Talulah directly.”

"Easier said than done, how are you going to sneak in?"

Qi Yan stopped the car and gazed into the distance... He saw nothing but sand and dust.

In his black-eyed form, he was nothing compared to W, this Sarkaz.

“That’s easy.” W pulled out a few Claymore mines, his smile incredibly cruel. “We’ll ambush them on their route, and when their group gets confused, we can take care of two of them in the chaos and then blend in disguise.”

Qi Yan said with a look of pity, "I think this plan is just too... suitable!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Qi Yan jumped onto W's back, where she carried him as they ran.

On the other side, the Phantom Crossbowmen, who originally belonged to Faust's group, led the refugees who had escaped from Lungmen, struggling to advance across the wilderness.

"Everyone, hang in there a little longer. The core city is just ahead. I've already contacted the leader. She'll slow down our advance to the core city as we get closer so we can enter."

A phantom crossbowman kept encouraging his companions behind him.

They were supposed to leave with the unconscious Frostnova, but at the last moment, Frostnova awoke and, after learning what had happened, stubbornly chose to stay behind to cover their retreat.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to escape from the Dragon Gate unharmed, without losing too many of their companions.

Even so, the overnight journey through the wilderness took a heavy toll on the already physically weak refugees.

Along the way, the Phantom Crossbowmen couldn't count the number of people who fell behind.

They had no choice but to carry their young children on their backs and cruelly abandon the others who had fallen behind.

At this moment, when the shadow of the core city finally appeared, the group couldn't help but feel excited, and the team's marching speed increased once again.

"Wait a minute, something's wrong with the ground ahead!"

The lead phantom crossbowman suddenly stopped and waved for everyone to stop.

Ahead of them, a Claymore mine stood out conspicuously in their line of sight, appearing extremely glaring.

"What's happening here?"

The phantom crossbowmen looked at each other, completely baffled.

Just then, from behind a rock not far from them, came the sound of two people arguing.

“I told you that what you did was wrong. They’re not blind. How could they not see such a big Claymore mine?”

"What can I do? This place is completely empty. Claymore mines need cover to be effective in a surprise attack."

"Now what?"

"Kill them all."

"good idea!"

Upon hearing the conversation between the two voices, the Phantom Crossbowmen's expressions all changed.

The sound of crossbow bolts being nocked rang out in unison, and more than a dozen bolts were aimed at the rock.

Hearing the noise, two heads with white hair on top peeked out from behind the rock.

W shouted loudly:

"Listen up, you guys over there! You're surrounded by the two of us. Lay down your weapons and surrender now, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."

Qi Yan chimed in from the side:

"That's right, the man next to me is a Sarkaz mercenary who eats potatoes without soy sauce. Are you scared yet?!"

"Qi... Qi Yan!"

When the phantom crossbowmen saw Qi Yan's face clearly, they were so frightened that their hands trembled and they almost fired their crossbow bolts.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you guys to recognize me."

Qi Yan let out two strange laughs and swaggered out from behind the rock.

The phantom crossbowmen hurriedly retreated, wanting to resist, but they knew that against Qi Yan, resistance was just a joke.

“If you have any problems, come at us. Don’t make things difficult for these refugees behind us. They are just ordinary people from Lungmen.”

The lead phantom crossbowman said, forcing himself to speak.

Qi Yan's gaze lingered on the phantom crossbowman, and he nodded in satisfaction before walking over with a monstrous smile reminiscent of Warfarin.

As he walked, he took off his Rhodes Island uniform:

"You're right, I came here specifically for you."

The phantom crossbowman felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes widened in terror, and he frantically retreated as if he had seen a ghost.

"Don't come over here!"

Beside Qi Yan, W also wore a wicked smile, his gaze sweeping across the phantom crossbow before finally locking onto one person.

The phantom crossbowman noticed W's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly began to take off his clothes.

Another person next to him decisively pushed him aside and said righteously:

"Come at me if you have any problems, don't make things difficult for my brother!"

Chapter 102 Entering the Core City

Three phantom crossbowmen squatted on the ground, their outer garments stripped off, heads bowed and faces covered, not daring to look up at anyone else.

Qi Yan changed into the Reunion Movement uniform and said irritably:

"What's with those expressions? It's like I've ruined you. Bodyguards just delivered themselves to my door, what more could you want?"

"Don't dare."

"No, we are very satisfied, thank you Mr. Qi Yan."

The three phantom crossbowmen were on the verge of tears.

Now, as the year draws to a close and it is deep winter, they are stripped of their outer garments in the wilderness, and the biting cold wind blows directly at them, as if it wants to penetrate into their bones.

But they dared not wear the Rhodes Island uniform that Qi Yan had thrown at them.

Otherwise, they might get hacked to pieces as soon as they get close to the core city.

Behind the stone, W, also dressed in a Reunion Movement uniform, emerged, grinning broadly:

"Ready? Let's move on."

The third phantom crossbowman glanced at Qi Yan, then at W, and mustered his courage to ask:

"You only used two pieces of clothing, why are you fighting over three?"

Qi Yan glanced at him sideways and said expressionlessly, "You said it yourself, if you have a problem, come at me. Of course, I, a kind person, will satisfy you."

Tears of regret rolled down the cheeks of the phantom crossbowman...

The group set off again, but this time, there were two arrogant leaders and three trembling, pitiful people in the group.

After some time, the team finally managed to get close to the core city. As the core city roared, its speed gradually slowed down, and a hatch at the bottom slowly opened.

Qi Yan and W decisively led the charge and rushed in.

Once the entire team had entered, the hatch closed again, the core city roared once more, and the speed returned to normal.

Most of the people in the group looked relaxed, thinking they had been rescued.

Only a small number of people noticed the anomaly.

After receiving them, the core city continued its rapid advance, and that direction... was the very direction they had fled from: Lungmen.

"Which of you is the captain?"

A group of tall Sarkaz mercenaries walked up to Qi Yan and his companions, their eyes scrutinizing them as they swept over them.

Qi Yan adjusted his mask and spoke first:

"That is me. Please take us to see the leader of Talulah immediately. I need to report on the situation in Lungmen."

The Sarkaz mercenary glanced at Qi Yan, feeling that the white-haired man looked somewhat familiar.

However, he didn't pay attention to such trivial details and shook his head directly, saying:

“Talulah has very important things to do right now and doesn’t have time to see you. She asked me to make sure you’re settled first.”

Keep up with our group, don't fall behind.

Qi Yan glanced at W beside him and saw that the latter was grinding his teeth slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the Sarkaz mercenaries' obedience to Talulah.

Qi Yan patted her head, signaling her to calm down, and led the group to obediently follow behind the Sarkaz mercenaries.
