Chapter 96

Tang Bai watched as Gu Tunan drank it all down, before he snapped out of his dazed state.

Admitting your mistakes so openly really makes you feel better.

Bean! You've grown up!

Tang Bai comfortably raised his teacup and took a big sip, and said to Gu Tunan, "It's fine, it's fine, these are all things of the past, you're an excellent alpha now," getting more and more like the protagonist attacker in the book.

Gu Tunan whispered, "You too, you're good."

...... Is this a compliment from a love interest?

Tang Bai and Gu Tunan speak kindly and look quietly at Xie Ruhang.

He realized that Xie Ruhang was looking at him grudgingly, as if she were the one who had seen her partner pulling and tugging on her ex.

Tang Bai: "?" Why are you looking at me like that?

"Hahaha let's eat Tang Bai's stir-fried bug meat while it's hot, it's really delicious." Qiu Yan saw that the conversation was finally over, and quickly came out to liven up the atmosphere.

Just now, Gu Tunan said so much to Tang Bai, Brother Xie's expression was not right, okay? He didn't dare to make a sound.

Bai Li looked at the frustrated Gu Tunan and then at Tang Bai, he mumbled, "Tang Bai , you ......" Excellent.

Tang Bai gave a puzzled hmmm.

The turquoise eyes suddenly dodged, "You make good worm meat."

Tang Bai: "???" No, big brother, it seems like you haven't eaten yet.

Rong Yao took a bite of the worm meat, seeing Tang Bai's sluggish look and the alpha's unconcealed loss, his mood suddenly improved.

Everyone but Xie Ruhang is a loser anyway, so it's not a big deal when you think about it.

"Come on, let's keep eating! This worm meat really smells too good!" Qiu Yan desperately tried to liven up the atmosphere.

Tang Bai gives Xie Ruhang a large piece and, after noticing that Xie Ruhang is still staring at him, Tang Bai, puzzled, goes over to Xie Ruhang and whispers to him, "What's the matter?"

Xie Ruhang said with a hint of gnashing of teeth, "Idiots are contagious." He actually believed in Tang Bai's evil and steadfastly believed that Gu Tunan liked himself.

Tang Bai looked around and asked Xie Ruhang, "Who is the fool?"

Xie Ruhang said helplessly, "Little twerp."

Tang Bai: "????"

Tang Bai took a bite of the worm meat he had given to Xie Ruhang, and said with his cheeks puffed out, "There are no more feeding benefits, goodbye!"

Xie Ruhang reached out and poked Tang Bai in the cheek, "Little badass."

The stupid and bad Tang Bai egg turned his head angrily and aimed the back of his round head at Xie Ruhang.

Looking at the stubborn hair on top of Tang Bai's head, Xie Ruhang lowered his head and smiled gently.

He hadn't wanted to burst out laughing, but the incident got funnier the more he thought about it.

It's amazing that he'd actually be true to his feelings that Gu Tunan likes himself.

And misunderstood for so long.

Stupidity turns out to be really contagious.

Tang Bai is really not exaggerating enough, Tang Bai, this little fool also has a skill, called brainwashing master.

While Xie Ruhang was slightly shrugging his shoulders and laughing, a small hand suddenly covered his eyes, it was Tang Bai's hand.

Then the hand traced the bridge of his nose, moved, moved, covered his mouth.

While doing this difficult task, Tang Bai himself remained angrily on his back and said fiercely, "No laughing, be serious, I'm angry with you!"

His phoenix eyes curved, Xie Ruhang cooperated by closing his mouth, but a smile escaped from the corners of his eyes.

Qiu Yan, who was enthusiastically calling for people to eat bug meat, saw this scene and he put down the chopsticks in his hand forlornly, feeling that he had already eaten his fill of dog food.

Also following suit and putting down his chopsticks was You Xiang: "It does smell good, but after I got bitten by that mutant bug race, I'm a bit afraid to lay my hands on bug meat."

Qin Jun spends his days in the kitchen tossing around worm meat and raising that worm that can't be killed any more, leaving a heavy psychological shadow on his innocent teammates.

"That bug race should really be dead, right?" You Xiang said with a bitter face, his heart palpitating.

"Definitely." Tang Bai said, "A ship that big is gone, how could that bug be alive? Unless ......"

"Unless what?" You Xiang said timidly.

"Didn't you guys run into a stellar collapse? The stellar collapse created a black hole, and at the same time created an Einstein Rosen bridge, and the Einstein Rosen bridge interacted with the black hole distorting the spatial gravity field, and would have created a white hole in another part of the universe."

"Unless this mutant bug race has encountered temporal turbulence and traveled to another place through the Einstein Rosen Bridge." Tang Bai said seriously, "But this is something I think the possibility is almost zero."

"Because the energy radiated in the universe is basically positive energy, in its natural state then, the wormhole would basically make it impossible for this Worm to have a chance to create a connection swing, and even if the ship activated its self-destruct mode at that time and absorbed a lot of dark energy, which somehow created this condition, it would be very difficult for a Worm to survive the space-time turbulence."

"It's hard for us humans to resist the space-time turbulence, and even if that bug encountered the space-time turbulence by chance, if it didn't swing out within a certain period of time, then the dispersed particles would completely disappear, becoming all of the four-dimensional space-time, with no way to exist in our three-dimensional space-time, which is equivalent to being dead."

Mo Zheng sniffed and asked, "So why did you bring up this possibility?"

"The black hole feeds the Einstein Rosen Bridge, enabling it to form such a passage to travel through space and time, and while it's true that the Einstein Rosen Bridge will collapse away before too long, it shouldn't disappear that quickly."

"It will be there for a while, and only when an object passes over the Einstein Rosen Bridge will it dissipate quickly."

Tang Bai frowned, "I was there when I realized that after the ship self-destructed, the Einstein Rosen Bridge followed."

You Xiang gulped, "What happens if that Bug crosses that Einstein Rosen Bridge you were talking about?"

"If it got through, then it has now reached another part of the universe."

"How much longer until we get to that energy star?" A player wailed, "I'm bored to death on the ship every day, I thought I could fight the Bugs, but I didn't see a single Bug all the way down."

"Bear with me, there's still one more day to go, and our group is already the closest ship to the Energy Star."

"Yes, if not for the other groups on the road to give us the vast majority of the energy on their ships, we are now even slower, not to mention, playing a game froze out of a party in distress eight parties to support the touching."

"The pop-up says Gu Tunan confessed to Tang Bai in front of Xie Ruhang! Crap! This Shura! Aaaaahhhh hurry up and end the game I'm going to watch the recording of this!"

"What are you pushing me for? I want to see--"

The next words came to an abrupt end when the cadet saw the scene before him.

Instead of a vast starry sky outside the round window, there was a huge red compound eye.

"Alert! The Dream has encountered a giant mutant insectoid! Alert! The Dream has encountered a giant mutant insectoid!"

It was a giant insectoid over a thousand meters long with a metallic sheen all over its body, and if it also had a game panel, then the game panel would be the following:

[Name]: Virus II

[Race]: Bugs (mutated)

[Ability]: Unlimited Regeneration, Unlimited Loopholes, Unlimited Possibilities

【Objective】: Devour Tang Bai

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-!!!"

*

Federal Military Academy.

"Attention all players! The first virus destruction program has failed! The virus is currently portrayed in the game as an adult-bodied giant mutant insectoid!" A teacher entered the message to be sent into the main system.

"It is known that the virus has an infinite regeneration function and is difficult to destroy, therefore we have decided to abandon the virus destruction program and ask all players to run to the energy star with all their might! In view of the lack of energy and other problems on some of the ships, we will start the energy and personnel redistribution program!"

After entering the information released to all the players, this teacher wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and turned on the communication mode to the principal, "Your Excellency, are we really going to carry out this plan?"

"Mr. Zheng, this is a hopeless situation with no way out, but we have to make a trade-off."

More sweat broke out on this Mr. Jung's forehead as he turned off the communication, his fingers shaking, barely able to post the next message.

That virus incarnation of a mutated bug race had somehow come near the Energy Star, it seemed to have some intelligence, or maybe it was just a coincidence that the bug had eaten the Dream, which was about to arrive at the Energy Star.

Then again, it guarded the neighborhood of the Energy Star like a vicious dragon.

Affected by the virus, the only way for the game to end is for a player to arrive at the Energy Star, and if the school forcibly interrupts the game, it's likely to result in the tragedy of brain death for all the students, so this Bug just has to eat all the teams that can arrive at the Energy Star, and then the game will never end.

Every second of the game, the energy reserves on top of the ship are depleted while the bug keeps growing and is able to regenerate indefinitely, making it nearly impossible for the player to destroy the mutated bug.

So in a very short period of time, school leaders discussed a program called the decoy program.

Utilizing the devouring instinct of the virus, sacrificing a group of students as bait to lure away the virus entrenched in the Energy Planet, and taking advantage of the precious time the virus has left to allow another group of students to arrive at the Energy Planet to end the game.

Civilians with average grades and no background are prioritized for placement as decoys.

In order to avoid panic, the pop-ups were set with keyword blocking and advanced filtering functions, news like the murder of the Dream would not be circulated, and the players would not know about the plan, and all the people ostensibly received the same mission, to make all-out efforts towards the Energy Star, except that some of the players were given routes that were routes of death.

"I got a transfer eh, I think it said there was a shortage of mech combatants on the ship I was going to." Qiu Yan asks Lu Lv : "What was the mission you received?"

"I'm also transferring out." Lu Lv said.

You Xiang raises his hand, "Me too, but I'm battle scum five right now, so I won't be much help to my teammates if I go."

Tang Bai looked at his assignment, "I am to stay here and the ship that will deliver energy to our Explorer."

After reading their assignments, they found that only Qiu Yan, Lu Lv and You Xiang, the three mecha students, were transferred to another ship.

"I really don't want to be separated from Brother Xie." Qiu Yan had thought he could lay it all the way down, but he didn't realize he was going to walk on his own.

"I remember that there were players assigned the mission to the Energy Star before, right, did none of that batch of players arrive?" Tang Bai looked to the pop-up screen, expecting a detailed answer, but this time he only saw ambiguous pop-ups, such as a player having met with an accident.

Inexplicably, Tang Bai's right eyelid suddenly jumped.
