Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

The doctor's high affinity with Baiye came into play at this moment, and he began to ramble on about his past.

His name was Nikolai. He used to be a doctor in Saint-Jewelburg. He had just graduated from medical school and his life was just beginning to take a bright turn when it turned into darkness. He unexpectedly became an infected person and spent the rest of his life in the mines of the frozen northwestern region.

While treating infected people in the mines and collecting folk remedies, Nikola's medical skills gradually became more refined, especially in surgery. After being rescued by the Reunion Movement, he became their chief physician.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had a chat in a long time..." Seemingly realizing his lapse in composure, the middle-aged man quickly stopped talking and got to the point, "Mr. Baiye, I noticed before that Miss Alina's Oripathy had shown signs of flare-ups, but after testing, her infection has been effectively suppressed."

As he spoke, Nikolai tried hard to control his excited tone.

Because this discovery is truly astonishing.

It is important to understand that Oripathy is a persistent nightmare for those infected, because every day, this incurable disease erodes the remaining lives of those infected.

No one can foresee their own death, yet Oripathy is destined to bring a fatal end to those infected.

Almost all of the members of the Reunion Movement are infected.

The environment here is harsh and the conditions are difficult. There is a lack of effective means to suppress Oripathy. In addition, the infected people live a very difficult life. The soldiers also have to be wounded and fight constantly. Therefore, the probability of Oripathy symptoms breaking out is very high.

Their somatic cells are increasingly fused with Originium, the density of Originium crystals in their blood is constantly increasing, and the number of crystals appearing on their body surface is also constantly increasing.

Many infected individuals did not die in battle, but rather from Oripathy attacks.

Now, a turning point has arrived: Alina's Oripathy has been effectively suppressed. For the Reunion Movement doctors who could only watch helplessly as the infected suffered from the disease, this is undoubtedly good news.

"Are you trying to ask me how I did it?" Bai Ye looked at the doctor in front of him and asked with a smile.

“Yes, yes, that’s right.” Nikolai looked eager.

"Actually, I have a benign suppressant drug." Bai Ye didn't keep her in suspense, but took out a box of medicine from Rhodes Island from her pocket.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Bait 3/6

(114 book reviews reached—where did the remaining 514 go?)

-------------------------------------

Skadi stuffed the whole grilled fish into her mouth, wiped her mouth, and then placed her hand on her weapon.

Bai Ye had told her to be careful of her surroundings once he took out the medicine.

After all, this is a hot commodity, and its allure to infected individuals is overwhelming.

Skadi kept a watchful eye on her surroundings while looking at White Night's pocket, wondering why she could take anything out of that pocket.

“This…this is…” Nikolai’s eyes were fixed on the medicine box in Bai Ye’s hand, and he even forgot to breathe.

“I don’t have much with me. How things develop from here on out depends on your attitude, and the attitude of your leader.”

Bai Ye placed the box of medicine in Nikolai's hand, and then considerately bent the doctor's fingers to hold the medicine box.

“The fate of the Reunion Movement is now in your hands.” Bai Ye patted Nikola on the shoulder.

This is the opportunity for cooperation.

However, while Reunion was evaluating him, he was also evaluating the infected team five.

Some might ask, is there any need to cooperate with the Reunion Movement? They are destined to be pawns; their fate has already been decided.

Bai Ye has thought about this question.

The answer is yes, after all, there are too many reasons and benefits.

For example, the last pure-blooded Wendigo in the Reunion Movement can be contacted by other Sarkaz.

For example, the Reunion Movement has roamed the frozen lands for many years (are they sure they're not in exile?), destroyed many mines, and possesses a large amount of Originium that has not yet been used for trade.

For example, Reunion is one of the few infected organizations that White Night can contact within Ursus—due to the high-pressure policies against the infected, Rhodes Island cannot open an office within Ursus, making cooperation with Reunion necessary.

Of course, the most important point is that the Reunion Movement has a lot of work to do, so no matter how many players are recruited, there will be opportunities to keep them busy and prevent them from being idle.

As for whether the Reunion Movement will turn into a prank movement because of the players, that's none of Bai Ye's business—anyway, from his interactions with them, he felt that the infected were all pretty silly, especially the Yeti squad…

It seems like Skadi and they have a lot in common?

Let's all be silly together!

However, Bai Ye was also well aware that since they were going to make a deal with the Reunion Movement, they would inevitably have to bear the corresponding risks. Therefore, they could not use the name of Rhodes Island, and they could not even expose the existence of Rhodes Island in the process.

This would require a disguise, along with signing a secret cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island.

The previously mentioned mineral exploration and mining companies are unusable because, according to Baiye's investigation, in Ursus, the mining industry, especially Originium mines, is controlled by the military.

These border nobles, who control the armies, possess a complete Originium refining industry chain, monopolizing everything from raw ore to refining. They thus hold the lifeline of various mobile cities, making it difficult for Bai Ye to find an opportunity to gain a share.

Bai Ye needs to discuss with Miss Swire how to set up a new shell company and establish a permanent office within the Ursus Empire.

This facilitates communication and integration of the movement, and also makes it easier to recruit players who arrive in the city.

……

Night falls.

The two moons streaked across the sky along their predetermined paths. Humans, simply by looking at the sky, will find stories to tell.

"Whose story are the orbits and speeds of the two moons telling?"

Bai Ye led Skadi towards their own camp. Skadi was somewhat puzzled, because Bai Ye seemed to have done this intentionally, refusing to set up his camp in the middle of the guerrilla camp, but instead choosing a place far away from the Reunion Movement camp.

Fortunately, this location was still within the sentry's surveillance range, so the guerrillas did not object to Bai Ye's decision.

To some extent, the two seem to be in sync.

“It’s dangerous here,” Skadi said, slinging her weapon over her shoulder and looking at Bai Ye.

“I know, but Titi is the strongest.” Bai Ye didn’t draw his weapon, but the longsword in his inventory was already poised to strike. Due to some “accidents,” news that he possessed the medicine spread like wildfire among the infected.

When he returned to his tent, Bai Ye could clearly feel the gazes carrying a variety of emotions.

“I will protect you.” Skadi clenched her fist.

"But during the fight, don't come near me or talk to me; it's dangerous."

Skadi's greatsword has a very large attack range, and getting too close to her carries a high risk.

Bai Ye smiled and nodded, his heart filled with warmth. Since his transmigration, he had only encountered kind people—Penguin Logistics, the Guardians, Rhodes Island…

"I really hope this good luck can continue into the Reunion Movement."

Bai Ye turned off the windproof Originium lamp on the tent, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness. The only sound was the violent whirring of the wind whipping the tent's outer layer.

"Go to sleep." Bai Ye said goodnight, then quietly lay down with Skadi.

……

The second half of the night is when it is deepest and sleepiness is strongest.

A group of shadowy figures quietly approached the tent where Bai Ye was located.

They were carrying weapons or staffs.

Inside the tent, Bai Ye and Skadi, who had been lying down, opened their eyes at the same time and quietly sat up.

Although it was dark, Bai Ye could still clearly see the faint, cold light gleaming in Skadi's crimson eyes.

She was clearly prepared.

The girl in battle mode is not the usual naive girl.

"It has to be alive," Bai Ye whispered in the girl's ear.

“Hmm.” Skadi nodded, deciding to reduce her strength.

……

To those outside, the tent appeared completely silent, as if the creature were oblivious to the commotion outside.

“How naive… Quickly find the medicine, then escape.” The leader of the infected whispered, “With the suppressant and a vehicle, we can leave Ursus directly.”

……

The longsword "Arc Light" fell into Bai Ye's hands.

The pitch-black scabbard began to gleam.

White Night wields the "staff" to unleash his Originium Arts.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the cold wind that had been howling through the world suddenly began to yield.

A vacuum enveloped the area around Bai Ye, ensuring that any sounds emanating from within would never travel out.

"Tonight, White Night joins the hunt."

Bai Ye drew his "Arc Light" sword; to be honest, he was itching to use it.

After arriving in Terra, he experienced very few battles.

As for Skadi, her approach is naturally simpler and more direct.

"boom--"

The infected person, who was originally attached to the tent in preparation for cutting, was suddenly blasted away, spitting blood in the air, and finally crashed to the ground like a broken doll.

The next moment, the tent door swung open, and two figures rushed out one after the other.

Chapter Thirty-Five: White Night's Swordsmanship

"It's too dry here..."

Skadi took a deep breath.

Although she has been on land for so long, she still cannot fully adapt to this environment.

Yes, it's much better than at the beginning.

"So annoying..." Skadi shook her head helplessly as she watched the infected rushing towards her.

Moving on land is difficult, and although there is high pressure and resistance in seawater, there is also buoyancy and ocean currents. Deep-sea hunters can move easily underwater.

Too lazy to move, Skadi simply picked up her greatsword and casually swung it out.

With a single strike, the infected who had surrounded them were swept away like trash by Skadi.

"Uh--"

Screams filled the air. Although the girl hadn't gone all out and had restrained her power considerably, the orca's strength was far beyond what these infected individuals, who had only received a few military training sessions, could match. Bai Ye witnessed firsthand that the arms and legs of several unfortunate individuals were bent at rather unnatural angles, clearly broken.

The tragic fate of their companions did not dampen the morale of the remaining infected, who charged toward Skadi relentlessly.

"Quickly, use magic!"

"She's all alone, hold her off!"

The fanatical infected were utterly fearless and charged desperately toward Skadi, attempting to slow her down.

Crossbow bolts, missed shots, spells, stones...

All sorts of bizarre attacks flew towards Skadi, like a dense rain of raindrops, and even Skadi had to expend some energy to deal with them.

"Skadi, don't worry about me." Bai Ye knew that the girl was holding back because she wanted to protect him.

“But…” Skadi frowned.

"Don't underestimate me. And don't forget, you can't bleed on land." Bai Ye didn't say the second half of his words aloud, but instead sent them directly to Skadi's ear through the wind.

“…I understand.” Skadi chose to trust her friend and began to focus on dealing with the infected. She had to be careful not to leave any wounds.

……

Once Skadi's attention was diverted, several taciturn infected rushed towards White Night.

Their target was naturally White Night. Through observation, they had long since discovered that no matter how powerful Skadi was, she was still focused on White Night. Therefore, all the elite troops were used for this purpose.

The arrows fired from the crossbows made a sharp whistling sound as they shot towards Bai Ye, imbued with Originium Arts. These infected individuals intended to kill Bai Ye.

"boom--"

A wall of wind rose up from the spot, blocking the ranged attack. At the same time, Bai Ye drew his longsword and turned around to block the dagger that was thrust at him from behind.

The blade struck the dagger with a crisp ringing sound. At the same time, Bai Ye's longsword suddenly erupted, carrying powerful kinetic energy as it swept past the dagger and pierced the attacker's chest.

Having dealt with the attackers behind him, Bai Ye swung his longsword and turned to his next target.

At that moment, several more enemies suddenly descended from the sky. They were equipped with mobility devices that could generate extremely strong propulsion through bursts, allowing them to sprint at extremely high speeds over short distances.
