Chapter 50 (Second Update)



Colonel Zhou was just a pioneer.

As she swung her long staff and thunderbolts, electrocuting a group of rift insects and making them roll around in panic, the subsequent reinforcements also arrived in place.

They had a clear division of labor. Some were responsible for carrying the unconscious Qin Yuan and others onto stretchers, some went to capture the seriously injured and dying Silent Bug, and some came up to Gu Qiongsheng, looked at her with pity and admiration, and asked softly if she needed help.

"Me?" Gu Qiongsheng hesitated and shook his head. "It's okay, I'm fine."

"It's better to go to the medical bay and get some rest."

The staff member's voice was extremely gentle, as if Gu Qiongsheng was some fragile treasure: "Even if you're fine now, you still have to be careful about any hidden injuries to your body."

Gu Qiongsheng insisted, shaking his head: "The number of medical cabins on the spacecraft is limited, right?"

"I'm fine. Please save my teammates first. They're more seriously injured. I'm a healer myself, so I can heal myself. It's no problem."

Hearing the word "therapist", Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, who was fighting over there, turned his head sharply and his eyes lit up instantly.

She swung her long stick and smashed the rift worm's skull in two or three hits. The lava surged and boiled. The seriously injured Zerg struggled in the sea of ​​thunder, but like an ant falling into boiling water, it could not even make a scream and could only collapse to the ground dying.

The ultimate move cleared the soldiers quickly and efficiently, but Colonel Zhou was also a little unstable.

But when she turned around, she found that Gu Qiongsheng had been staring at the battlefield, with a look of surprise and admiration in his beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She suddenly felt more confident and thought it was all worth it.

"So, you're really a healer?"

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou walked up quickly, looked at Gu Qiongsheng curiously, and extended his right hand: "I'm Zhou Feng from the Silver Blossom Corps. Are you interested in visiting Silver Blossom? If you're free this weekend, I'll take you to Big Sally to kill bugs for fun—"

Before he finished speaking, a series of loud coughs were heard not far away.

Zhou Feng frowned in dissatisfaction.

When I looked up, I saw that it was indeed Staff Officer Wu who was following me.

"You want her to go to the front lines when she's not even graduated yet?"

Staff Officer Wu spoke in a steady voice and looked calm.

But his hurried steps revealed that he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

Smiling and waving at Gu Qiongsheng, he introduced himself briefly: "Student Gu, I'm Wu Sinan from the Star Legion. Nice to meet you."

"You have excellent abilities. Have you ever considered joining the Starry Sky Reserve Army? Don't worry, we will protect you and nothing like what happened today will ever happen again."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou frowned, and the other person who followed him also curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"What reserve army? Who wants to join the reserve army?" Instructor Dong shouted from afar, "Stop forcing things, okay? Gu Qiongsheng, come to the First War College. I'll find the best teachers for you!"

A large group of people from the rear also surrounded them, and the teachers and representatives from various colleges...all looked at Gu Qiongsheng with fiery eyes.

His eyes were so fiery, as if he was looking at a rare treasure that was one in a million.

Gu Qiongsheng didn't know how to answer for a moment. He just humbly shook hands with the examiners one by one and said politely, "Thank you, teacher, thank you..."

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard not far away.

Everyone's attention was briefly distracted. Gu Qiongsheng turned around and found that it was Zhao Qingke who was being pulled up from the ground by someone twisting his arm.

Unlike the other people who were carefully carried onto the stretcher, the person who pulled Zhao Qingke up showed no mercy. When Zhao Qingke groaned in pain, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

He carried Zhao Qingke and saluted Instructor Dong and the others. "Examiners, this student has seriously violated exam rules. Please allow me to take her to the detention room."

Zhao Qingke's face turned pale and he struggled desperately: "No, I didn't!"

She tried to raise her head in the direction of Gu Qiongsheng, her miserable little face covered with dirt and dust: "I can explain, I can... I was just joking with her, I didn't really want to kill her -"

"We are very good friends. If you don't believe me, go to Yuancheng High School to investigate... Really, I'm not lying, we are good friends!"

"Isn't that right, Jonson, Jonson?"

Zhao Qingke's arms were twisted backward, her upper body leaning forward, her knees almost on the ground. She sobbed and stared at Gu Qiongsheng, her eyes full of pleading.

Gu Qiongsheng looked at her quietly, with some pity in his eyes, and sighed softly.

"We are not friends, we never have been."

She tilted her head slightly, her voice sinking slightly: "Or rather, I used to treat you as a friend, but you were never sincere to me."

After saying this, Gu Qiongsheng turned around, ignoring Zhao Qingke's suddenly furious expression, and smiled calmly at Colonel Zhou and the others: "Examiners, please help me testify that she really wanted to kill me just now."

"If it weren't for my decent healing skills, I would have been killed by her just now. I think this kind of behavior is intolerable on the battlefield, right?"

"That's right," Lieutenant Colonel Zhou said with a stern look in his eyes. "Backstabbing a comrade is truly a disgusting act."

She turned her head and looked at Zhao Qingke coldly. "Zhao what... Zhao Qingke, right? Congratulations, you are now on the Silver Glow Corps' blacklist. We in the Silver Glow Corps don't need comrades who can't be trusted."

Staff Officer Wu added casually, "Yes, we at Fanxing are the same."

Instructor Dong covered his mouth and yawned. "No need for you guys. I'll transfer the data to the archive right away. Although having this black history recorded in the integrity file means this girl will never be able to become a soldier in her lifetime... I don't think it's unfair, haha."

Zhao Qingke's whole body was stiff.

She tilted her head back in disbelief, her neck tilted forward ridiculously, like an ugly duckling being picked up by the neck: "No, you can't do this, I'm a student in Class A of Yuancheng High School, I have a special recruitment quota, I-"

"So what if I'm in Class A?"

Xu Maoxing arrived late. As a non-combatant, he boarded one of the later landing spacecraft.

He looked at Zhao Qingke with a complicated look and said softly, "Kid, remember this: character and morality are more important than ability."

"We would rather lose a genius than tolerate a traitor who betrays his comrades."

"Besides...your combat ability isn't that great either."

Xu Maoxing's voice changed, and he said briskly, "Your lower body is unstable, your reactions are slow, and your mental strength is rigid—did you rely on drugs to improve it? Your swordsmanship is far from perfect, and your agility is also insufficient. How could you get a special recruitment spot before this?"

"Tsk, I think there's something fishy going on."

When he heard the word "catty", Gu Qiongsheng's ears twitched suddenly and he remembered something.

She quickly said, "Examiner, I have one more thing to trouble you all. Just now, when Zhao Qingke tried to kill me, he admitted to tampering with my awakening potion. There's a video to prove it!"

The eyes of several people nearby suddenly became stern.

"Yeah," Lieutenant Colonel Zhou muttered, "I almost forgot about that."

She turned around and asked, "What should we do? This is no longer just a question of integrity."

Staff Officer Wu nodded and waved his right hand. "No need to go to the solitary confinement room. Take him directly to the federal court on the first star. I have friends there who will help to file the case for trial as soon as possible."

Gu Qiongsheng added, "Her father works for the group that produces the awakening potion, and he holds a very high position... I suspect her father is also involved in this matter, and even this group may be secretly producing and selling counterfeit drugs."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of Instructor Dong and others became even more serious.

If what Gu Qiongsheng said was true, then it was not just a matter of a student's cruel heart, but a major event involving the interests of the entire federation.

Staff Officer Wu frowned slightly and lowered his voice, "The group is falsifying information... do you have any evidence?"

Gu Qiongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Staff Officer Wu: "It's a bit difficult..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lieutenant Colonel Zhou glared. "Haven't we already found a breakthrough?"

She waved her hand casually, pointing the long stick in her hand directly at Zhao Qingke's forehead: "Start with this child and dig out the forces behind her - I don't believe that without anyone's support, a little brat would dare to use fake awakening potions to harm others?"

"Can you guys do it? If not, let me bring him back to Yinhui. I promise to dig up all your ancestors within three days..."

"..." Staff Officer Wu pursed his lips and said unhappily, "Nonsense, do I need you to remind me?"

He waved to the person behind Zhao Qingke, and the person immediately understood and took Zhao Qingke in another direction.

Zhao Qingke, who was forcibly dragged away, had his eyes wide open and his face looked ashen.

When the topic turned to her father and the counterfeiting and selling of fake goods by Shunxing Group, her body suddenly tensed up, and she struggled desperately and feebly like a dying fish - but she still couldn't break free from the restraints of the people behind her.

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes.

She finally broke down, her whole body falling limply to the ground, crying loudly: "Wu, wuwu ah ah ah ah ..."

This time, she wasn't the only one finished.

Her father, her whole family, was finished.

As they followed the main group back to the spaceship, Gu Qiongsheng suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "By the way, Teacher Zhou, how are the other students?"

"There's also a safe house. I remember the Zerg attacked in that direction at the beginning..."

Zhou Feng smiled brightly: "Kid, why are you calling me teacher? Call me sister."

Gu Qiongsheng readily responded: "Sister Feng?"

“Hey.”

Zhou Feng responded happily, raised his hand and held Gu Qiongsheng's shoulder affectionately, and inadvertently cast a smug look towards Chief of Staff Wu.

Staff Officer Wu, who was half a step behind, said: "..."

"Don't worry about the safety center," Zhou Feng said. "We'll split into three groups. I'll rescue you first. Staff Officer Wu and Instructor Dong will go rescue the safety center first, and the rest of us will search for the other students scattered on Weilun Star."

"I didn't expect them to follow so quickly. But since they're here, it means the safe house is no longer in danger, right?"

"...Yes," Staff Officer Wu said glumly. "The students were quite frightened, but fortunately, few were injured. They said the Zerg did attack initially and broke through the barrier. They were about to start a massacre, but suddenly they all retreated."

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on Gu Qiongsheng with admiration, his tone filled with emotion, "It must be because you severely injured the Silent Worm back then. As a higher-ranking Zerg combatant, it had the authority to summon other Zerg back for protection. The Rift Worm received this message, and that's why it suddenly withdrew at the critical moment."

"You can say that you saved all the students."

Gu Qiongsheng smiled shyly: "It's all thanks to my teammates, they are all very strong."

Staff Officer Wu nodded understandingly.

But the look he gave Gu Qiongsheng was even softer.

The girl in front of me was humble, gentle and intelligent. She had made outstanding contributions, but she did not take any credit for it and only pushed the credit onto her companions.

This behavior made Staff Officer Wu and Lieutenant Colonel Zhou even more pleased, and they wanted Gu Qiongsheng to join the corps even more strongly.

After walking a few steps, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou suddenly said, "Well, Qiongsheng, I was also injured in the battle just now. Can you help me with treatment?"

She turned up her sleeves and fiddled with them for a long time—

A knuckle-sized scrape was exposed on his elbow.

"It hurts so much," Lieutenant Colonel Zhou said calmly, "Look, it's bleeding."

Staff Officer Wu: “???”

Staff Officer Wu, who was worried about having no topics to talk about, had his eyes twitching slightly and his scalp was tingling.

What a great Yinhui, what a great Colonel Zhou, they really do everything to get closer to them!

A lieutenant colonel pointed at a scratch and shouted "it hurts". Do you have any shame?

Colonel Zhou was very happy.

She was only slightly tired from fighting the rift worms, and was not seriously injured. The scratch on her elbow was something she had just discovered after searching for it for a long time.

The reason for making this request was, on the one hand, that I was really curious about Gu Qiongsheng's treatment level, and on the other hand, it was to find an excuse for subsequent contact.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou was calculating in his mind, thinking that helping himself heal his wounds, to round it off, would mean preventing himself from dying from excessive blood loss, which would be saving his own life.

They are life-saving friends, so it's normal for her to invite Gu Qiongsheng to her room when she returns to the spaceship. It's also OK to treat the girl to a meal when she returns to Tianyuan Star!

With this back and forth conversation, if I add some personal opinions into the conversation, am I still afraid that Gu Qiongsheng will not like Yinhui?

Wow, perfect logic!

Principal Zhou was secretly planning. Although Gu Qiongsheng was a little surprised, he nodded happily: "Then I will give it a try?"

She silently chanted in her heart: "Holy Light."

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Feiyuan's thoughts stopped in an instant.

She was surprised to find that a surge of energy suddenly surged in her body, surging like waves, filling her limbs and bones in an instant!

The abrasions faded and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. With Gu Qiongsheng's skills, such small wounds would not even leave shallow scabs, and the skin would become smooth as new in an instant.

Even my skin tone seems to be smoother and fairer than before.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou was stunned.

She had guessed as highly as possible about Gu Qiongsheng's healing ability, but at this moment she suddenly realized that she had underestimated Gu Qiongsheng - that gentle power was like a spring breeze, gently soothing her meridians, and like a drizzle in the morning light, bringing vitality to her tired body.

Fighting on the front lines for many years, even though he was still young, it was inevitable that Colonel Zhou would have some hidden injuries in his body.

The pains caused by overwork, which could only be slightly relieved by the Federation's most advanced treatment chamber, especially the subtle disturbances in the mental power, were now completely melted away in the energy, like countless frizzy threads being gently combed, and gradually become smooth and soft.

Spring rain falls into my arms.

Like a new life.

"hiss……"

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou took a breath subconsciously.

She rubbed her elbow, so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

A vague thought that almost brought tears to her eyes suddenly flashed through her mind.

——This is treatment.

This is the healer that the frontline soldiers need most when they are fighting bloody battles!

Zhou Feng suddenly grabbed Gu Qiongsheng's hand!

"Come to Silverlight!"

Her eyes were blazing, carrying with them a warrior's tenacity of never giving up until the goal is achieved: "Come to Yinhui, you can set your terms and choose any team you want!"

Gu Qiongsheng was stunned by her pull and said hesitantly: "Actually, I..."

The silver glow is good, and the stars are good too.

But what Gu Qiongsheng wanted to know most was the current situation of the Dawn Legion.

Did Chenxi really disband?

Do we really want to be completely removed?

Is there any way to clear the name of that guilty legion and let the little sun of dawn illuminate the earth again?

These questions had been hidden in Gu Qiongsheng's heart for a long time.

After the incident with the Dawn Legion, everything related to it became confidential, and Gu Qiongsheng was unable to find out anything.

She also tried to ask Qin Yuan, but the young man's answer was: The Federation has encrypted this information and locked it in the database. It requires the highest level of military authority to view it in person.

So these questions are not easy to ask.

Gu Qiongsheng was thinking in a tangled way, his brain working fast, trying to find a tactful way to ask.

Staff Officer Wu suddenly interrupted: "Okay, let's stop talking and let Gu go to rest."

"Therapists aren't made of iron. They need rest too."

"If you have any ideas, we'll have plenty of time to discuss them later... Fanxing is also very good. We'll accept all the conditions that Yinhui can offer..."

Before he could finish his words, a figure suddenly jumped out from the front door of the spaceship, almost flying in front of Gu Qiongsheng, shouting, "Student Gu!"

It’s Wei Lan.

He was so excited that the frame of his glasses slid halfway down his nose. He didn't even bother to fix it, and he yelled, "You're finally back! Come on, tell me, how did you fix the sensor?"

"How did you break through the Silent Bug's Silent Barrier?"

Gu Qiongsheng: "Uh..."

Facing the flushed and excited Wei Lan, she lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly and brought out the same rhetoric she had used against the students in Class F: "It's a mental trait. I don't understand the specific reasons, but I just did it anyway."

"Just like my healing powers."

Mental strength traits?

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, his brows knitted tightly together: "Can mental power have such an effect?"

"Incredible, incredible..." He murmured, his eyes growing brighter. "This is a good topic. The Federation's understanding of mental power is still too superficial. It turns out that the thing that can truly defeat the Zerg has always been hidden within us..."

The man paced back and forth, his whole body excited and anxious. Suddenly, he turned around and stared at Gu Qiongsheng. "Are there any other details you can tell me?"

"How do you feel when you use this power?"

"What's the difference with condensed weapons?"

"Will I have a headache? Will I sense the Silent Bug? If I spread my mental power over a large area, can I also create my own domain?"

His mouth was like a machine gun, pulling Gu Qiongsheng and asking questions non-stop.

Gu Qiongsheng was overwhelmed. How could he explain the effects of the system's black technology?

There was really no other way, so she interrupted Wei Lan helplessly and took a deep breath.

"Professor Wei, I wonder if you have heard of a theory."

"When in doubt, quantum mechanics?"

Wei Lan: “???”

The author has something to say:

Let me explain quietly: Qin Yuan is, after all, stealing his grandfather's privileges. It's okay for him to browse the ordinary database, but he certainly won't touch the core encrypted data, so he can't help the heroine check it.
