Chapter 101
The pod opens automatically, and only a few of the students are able to walk out on their own, while most of the others fall into a coma due to injuries or over exertion.
Li Songyun watched as the students were lifted one by one onto a stand, among them Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang, who were unconscious.
Gu Tunan and Mo Zheng are consumed by the game, but these two are in good shape and can barely wake up on their own.
Major General Gu stood in front of his son, and encouraged Gu Tunan: "...... Your overall performance this time was good, especially in the early stages of the Bug virus attack, you led the way and bought valuable rescue time, holding out until the arrival of friendly forces ......"
Li Songyun helped Gu Tunan get up from the playpen, and not since Gu Tunan had grown up had he seen the child in such a weakened state, struggling to get up on his own.
"I made you soup." Li Songyun opened a thermos cup, scooped a spoonful of hot soup, gently blew hot air on the surface of the soup, and in Gu Tunan's flattered gaze, Li Songyun handed the spoon to Gu Tunan.
If someone asks what soup tastes like at this point, Gu Tunan can answer without hesitation, "The taste of love."
He hadn't enjoyed the tenderness and love of his little dad since Gu Tunan and Tang Bai split up.
Major General Gu frowned, "Don't feed the child here, petulant."
Li Songyun turned a deaf ear, "Is it hard on your stomach, will you be nauseous now?"
Steaming food is more satiating than nutrient fluid, and as Gu Tunan took a few sips of the hot soup and built up some strength, he said to Li Songyun, "I'm fine."
Assisted by Li Songyun, Gu Tunan walks out of the exam room and boards a hovercar to the hospital.
After getting into the car, Major General Gu continued his own coaching conference: "But Xiao Nan, you have some shortcomings in this assessment, many of which have been your problems all along, and I have criticized you many times, you are too independent, do not pay attention to teamwork, do not care about others, and in the early stages of the cultivation of the virus in Qin Jun, he showed a lot of abnormalities ...... "
The speed of the hovercar was fast, and Gu Tunan looked uncomfortable, Li Songyun touched Gu Tunan's forehead and softly said, "Are you dizzy? I'll rub your temples."
Major General Gu continued, "You don't know how to be flexible, you stick to the rules, you do what the rules say, and all of your energy in the early stages is focused on things like finding bug swarms and killing bugs to earn points, and you haven't explored any other ways to gain points ......"
Li Songyun saw that Gu Tunan's face still didn't look too good, and he said to the driver, "Master, please drive a little slower."
"Often times you deal with things too forcefully, this will make you miss out on a lot of opportunities, for example, this time many of the NPCs are played by real people, they are all from the military department, if you can strike a good rapport with them during the test, you will not say that you have the green light all the way through your career in the future ......" Major General Gu continued to point out Gu Tunan's shortcomings in a serious manner.
Seeing that Gu Tunan had already closed his eyes in embarrassment, Li Songyun couldn't hold back and said, "Xiao Nan is very tired, let's talk about this later."
"Let's talk about it later, it will be too late to talk about it later when Xiao Nan suffers because of this kind of nature, by then can you, an omega, protect him?" Major General Gu said in a cold voice, "And one last thing, Xiao Nan, you and Tang Bai's emotional problems should be put into private settlement, not under the live broadcast at that time, to talk about these AO affectionate private matters."
Gu Tunan opened his eyes helplessly and looked at his strong father, then at his youngest dad who had his head down and couldn't read his expression.
Such family disputes don't happen often, but every time they do, it's his young dad who chooses to tolerate them, and in a way, Gu Tunan feels that his father brings the toughness of the military branch into the family.
Sometimes when my father's temper got the best of him, not even my grandfather would say much.
The two fathers had different philosophies, but Gu Tunan knew that both fathers truly cared about him.
"I don't think you're wrong to ask your future partner to be independent and self-reliant, Tang Bai at that time didn't show the excellence he has now, your comment about him at that time was reasonable, you as a Gu family alpha can't put yourself that low- "
"Enough said!" The suddenly elevated voice startled both Rear Admiral Gu and Gu Tunan, and even the hovercar paused along with them.
The same shock surfaced in the two alpha's with extremely similar faces as they looked at Li Songyun in shock with a hint of bemusement.
It was the first time in the twenty years since Gu Tunan's birth that he had heard his little father's roar.
It was the first time in the twenty-six years Gu Mian had been married that he had seen his wife so out of sorts.
The omega in front of him looked tired, he was originally a very dignified and elegant noblewoman, decent enough to be used as a positive textbook by the lectures of the teachers of the etiquette academy.
However, his current appearance has nothing to do with thoughtfulness and tolerance, beauty and elegance, unkempt clothes, tired face, and the eyes that show a sense of mourning for some reason.
Meeting those eyes, Gu Mian suddenly didn't know what to say.
What's going on here?
No one spoke in the hovercar, Li Songyun's eyes were closed, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in two days.
Every moment of this time he wondered if Gu Tunan had indeed died as a result of this game, the last interaction he had had with the boy was when the boy had carefully knocked on his door and asked him what he had been doing lately.
At that time, he was still holding a ball of anger in his heart towards this child, he didn't like the striking resemblance between this child and Gu Mian, he even chilled that resemblance.
So he purposely chilled the kid, what he wanted was to chill for a few more days, so that the kid would learn a lesson and cool himself down a bit.
But he didn't expect this turn of events.
If Gu Tunan did have an accident, the only memory he would recall of his little dad in his last moments before he died would be that cold face.
How hard it must have been for Xiao Nan at that time ......
Whenever Li Songyun thought of this possibility, his heart was cut to the core.
Luckily Gu Tunan came back safely.
The string that had been taut all this time suddenly loosened, and as if it had been on the verge of breaking, it snapped suddenly.
He's tired.
It was like he suddenly didn't have the strength to be that perfect Mrs. Gu.
*
Tang Bai's consciousness was groggy, he had a terrible headache, and someone grabbed his hand and kept talking to him, as if it was his mother's voice, and his friend's, and a lot of people were calling his name.
He'd never felt this bad before, his head exploding, his mouth blurring out "Ouch."
It really hurt, the blood throughout his body seemed to boil when exposed to the space environment, and it was so hard that he couldn't even cry.
Tang Bai was awakened by the physical pain that seemed to have a lingering memory.
He opened his eyes and saw Tang's mother's tearful eyes, his hand was held tightly by Tang's mother, and Tang's father, Tang's grandfather, was sitting beside Tang's mother, also looking at Tang Bai with a worried face.
After seeing Tang Bai waking up, Tang's mother's tears instantly fell, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay, it's all over now." She comforted Tang Bai in this way, but her tears did not stop flowing.
In the last ten seconds before the end of the game, Tang Bai's body was exposed to the space environment, but he ended the voyage of the Explorer perfectly with his amazing will and maneuvering.
Tang's mother hardly dared to imagine how much the sugar candy they held in the palm of their hands had actually suffered in that moment.
Standing in front of the hospital bed, the doctor checked Tang Bai's condition and said that Tang Bai is not in any serious trouble for the time being, but he should not do any strenuous exercise for a while and should take a good rest.
When the circle of doctors leaves, Tang Bai realizes that Mo Zheng and the others are also at his bedside, the old man sitting in the chair, dressed in military uniform and with a serious expression, gives Tang Bai a somewhat stiff smile when he realizes that Tang Bai has woken up.
Tang Bai blinked blankly, he remembered that this seemed to be the old man of the Mo family, he had nothing to do with this old man, the other party couldn't be specially sitting in front of the hospital bed waiting for him to wake up, right?
"Is it still hard?" Admiral Mo tried to be kind.
Mo Zheng watched with some envy as he realized that his grandfather had not even woken up to his care for Tang Bai.
"No hard feelings, I'm fine now." Tang Bai sat up, he had a slight headache and weakness in his limbs, other than that everything was fine.
Admiral Mo continued to smile stiffly, he obviously didn't know what to expect from his junior, he wanted to pat Tang Bai's shoulder, but Tang Bai was lying on the hospital bed, some distance away from him, so Admiral Mo patted his own thigh: "Good, it's good that it's okay, you're a good boy, do well, I'm very optimistic about your future. "
"Alright, don't try to abduct my Sugar Candy to fly your broken battleship, Sugar Candy is going to inherit our old Tang family's weapons research institute in the future." Grandpa Tang directly recognized Admiral Mo's intention and vetoed it without the slightest bit of mercy.
"This kind of thing needs to be left to the child to decide." Admiral Mo dug in against Grandpa Tang's fire-breathing gaze, "Tang Bai, after you graduate, are you interested in flying a battleship in the First Star Corps."
The First Star Regiment of the Federation, the regiment established by the Founding Marshal, is recognized throughout the Federation as a regiment where only the best soldiers can join the First Star Regiment.
It's the kind of place that graduates of the Federal Military Academy would kill to get into, but unfortunately, Tang Bai is more interested in inheriting the family fortune.
"Thank you, Grandpa Mo, for your introduction, but I'm more interested in mecha manufacturing and weapons research, and I should be interning at the Weapons Research Institute after graduation." Tang Bai refused.
Admiral Mo didn't say much when he heard this expected answer, he encouraged Tang Bai, "Get some rest and keep up the good work in the future!"
When Admiral Mo left, Grandpa Tang solved Tang Bai's doubt: "He is the Elderly Kang."
"This old guy even said in the meeting before entering the game that omega entering the military academy was inappropriate, I should have recorded what he said at the time and played it on a loop when he was digging in." Although Grandpa Tang's mouth was disdainful, his eyes were all smug from winning over his old friend.
Back then, all of his old comrades had alpha grandchildren, and they all bragged about it in front of him, but now, what's the use of having an alpha? What's the use of having an alpha? An omega in our family, Sugar, is better than all the alphas!
Tang Bai froze, "The game NPCs are played by real people?"
It's not mentioned in the book.
But think of the book Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan beat up a bunch of NPCs, in addition to Xie Ruhang's group, there are a lot of NPCs in the book and the player's bloodshed, in-game unpleasant, and probably embarrassed to mention it in reality.
"Is Lu En also played by a real person?" Tang Bai was impressed with the npc.
"Well, a kid from the military department, a bit younger than your father, seems to be called Jiao Jian," Grandpa Tang casually mentioned, after he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Bai with heartache and pride, "You've grown up."
The child they've been protecting saves the day this time.
The moment the ship arrived at the Energy Star, the news was not only reported throughout the Federation, but also made headlines in various countries.
Unidentified virus infected the game system, into the game there are a total of one thousand students, in addition to the beginning of the virus devoured Qin Jun, and the dream number of an unfortunate student turned into a vegetable, the remaining nine hundred and ninety-eight students in the remaining only a handful of the virus invasion of the system by the impact of the brain nerve damage.
And a big part of that high survival rate is due to Tang Bai.
Tang Bai comes up with a plan to fight the mechanical Teng Man, and in the last ten seconds of the game, the cockpit breaks down, and Tang Bai, in a situation that is not suitable for human survival and without a protective suit, forces the ship to travel to the energy planet, a series of maneuvers that can even be included in the textbook of spaceship piloting!
A screenshot of the game is circulating on the internet, a picture of Tang Bai wearing a driving helmet and planting himself on the console, blood staining the surface of the console red, his slender and skinny body in stark contrast to the flailing Bugs behind him.
This time it didn't need Bai Zhi's operation, the label omega's light spread throughout the federation.
Tang Bai was a bit embarrassed by Grandpa Tang's compliment, he said shyly, "Grandpa, do you know where Brother Xie is?"
Grandpa Tang: "......" Sure enough, I've grown up ......
