Chapter 101
The game capsule opened automatically, and only a few people were able to walk out on their own. Most of the other students fell into a coma due to injuries or excessive exhaustion.
Li Songyun watched as the students were lifted onto the stents one by one, including the unconscious Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng.
Although Gu Tunan and Mo Zheng consumed a lot of energy in the game, they were in good physical condition and were able to wake up on their own.
Major General Gu stood in front of his son and encouraged Gu Tunan: "...Your overall performance this time is good, especially in the early stage of the Zerg virus attack, you led the way and bought precious rescue time, and supported the arrival of friendly forces..."
Li Songyun helped Gu Tunan get up from the game cabin. Since Gu Tunan grew up, he had never seen the child in such a weak state. He even had difficulty getting up by himself.
"I made soup for you." Li Songyun opened the thermos, scooped a spoonful of hot soup, and blew gently on the soup. Under Gu Tunan's flattered gaze, Li Songyun handed the spoon to Gu Tunan.
If someone asked what the soup tasted like at this time, Gu Tunan could answer without hesitation: "The taste of love."
Ever since Gu Tunan and Tang Bai separated, he has never enjoyed the tenderness and love of his stepfather again.
Major General Gu frowned, "Don't feed the child here, you're so delicate."
Li Songyun turned a deaf ear to him and asked, "Does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Do you feel sick now?"
The steaming food made him feel fuller than the nutrient solution. Gu Tunan drank a few sips of hot soup and gathered some strength. He said to Li Songyun, "I'm fine."
With the help of Li Songyun, Gu Tunan walked out of the examination room and got on the suspended vehicle to the hospital.
After getting in the car, Major General Gu continued his teaching meeting: "However, Xiaonan, you have some shortcomings in this assessment. Many of them are problems you have always had. I have criticized you many times. You are too independent, do not focus on teamwork, and do not care about others. In the early days of Qin Jun's virus cultivation, he showed many abnormalities..."
The suspension car was going very fast, and Gu Tunan looked uncomfortable. Li Songyun touched Gu Tunan's forehead and said softly, "Are you dizzy? Let me massage your temples for you."
Major General Gu continued: "You don't know how to adapt. You stick to the rules. You do whatever the rules say. In the early stage, all your energy was focused on finding insect swarms and killing insect swarms to earn points. You didn't explore other ways to earn points..."
Li Songyun saw that Tunan still looked unwell, so he said to the driver, "Master, please drive slower."
"Many times, you handle things in a too tough way, which will make you miss a lot of opportunities. For example, this time many NPCs are played by real people, and they are all from the military. If you can build a good relationship with them during the assessment, you will not only have a smooth career path, but also..." Major General Gu continued to point out Gu Tuanan's shortcomings earnestly.
Seeing that Gu Tunan had closed his eyes due to discomfort, Li Songyun couldn't help but say, "Xiaonan is very tired, let's talk about this later."
"Let's talk about it later. It will be too late to talk about it when Xiaonan suffers because of his temper. By then, can you, an omega, protect him?" Major General Gu said coldly: "One last thing, Xiaonan, you and Tang Bai's relationship problems should be solved privately instead of talking about these private affairs of AO in the live broadcast at that time."
Gu Tunan opened his eyes helplessly, looked at his strong father, then looked at his young father who had his head lowered and his expression unclear.
This kind of family dispute did not happen often, but every time it happened, his stepfather chose to tolerate it. To some extent, Gu Tunan felt that his father brought the military's tough style into the family.
Sometimes when my father gets angry, even my grandfather won’t say anything.
The two fathers have different educational philosophies, but Gu Tunan knows that both fathers truly care about him.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you asking your future partner to be independent and self-reliant. At that time, Tang Bai didn't show his current excellence. Your comments about him at that time were reasonable. As the alpha of the Gu family, you can't lower yourself so much—"
"Have you said enough?" The sudden high-pitched voice startled both Major General Gu and Gu Tunan, and even the suspended vehicle paused for a moment.
The two alphas with extremely similar faces showed the same shock. They looked at Li Songyun with shock and a little helplessness.
This was the first time that Gu Tunan heard his stepfather roar in the twenty years since he was born.
This was also the first time in the 26 years since Gu Mian got married that he saw his wife lose her composure like this.
The omega in front of him looked very tired. He was originally a very dignified and elegant lady from a noble family, respectable enough to be used as a positive example by teachers at the etiquette academy.
But at this moment, he did not look considerate, tolerant, beautiful or elegant at all. His clothes were unkempt, his face looked exhausted, and his eyes revealed an inexplicable sorrow.
When he met those eyes, Gu Mian suddenly didn't know what to say.
What happened?
No one spoke in the suspended car. Li Songyun closed his eyes. He hadn't had a good sleep in two days.
During this period of time, he was thinking that if Gu Tunan really died because of this game, then the last communication between him and the child would be when the child carefully knocked on his door and asked him what he was doing recently.
At that time, he was still holding a lot of anger towards this child. He didn't like the child's startling resemblance to Gu Mian. He was even disheartened by such similarity.
So he deliberately treated the child coldly. He thought that by treating him coldly for a few days, the child would learn his lesson and he would also calm down.
But he didn't expect such a change.
If Gu Tunan really had an accident, in the last moment before his death, when he recalled the memory of his stepfather, all he could think of was that cold face.
How miserable Xiaonan must have felt at that time...
Whenever Li Songyun thought of this possibility, his heart ached.
Fortunately, Gu Tunan returned safely.
The string that had been taut all along suddenly loosened, and as if it had reached its limit, it suddenly broke.
He is tired.
He seemed to suddenly no longer have the energy to be the perfect Mrs. Gu.
Tang Bai was groggy and had a severe headache. Someone grabbed his hand and kept talking to him. It sounded like his mother's voice, or that of his friends. Many people were calling his name.
He had never felt so uncomfortable before. His head felt like it was about to explode and he mumbled "it hurts".
It really hurt. When exposed to the space environment, the blood in his body seemed to be boiling. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even cry.
This kind of physical pain seemed to have some residual memory, and Tang Bai was awakened by the pain.
He opened his eyes and saw Tang's mother's tearful eyes. His hand was held tightly by Tang's mother. Tang's father and grandfather were sitting beside Tang's mother, also looking at Tang Bai with a worried look on their faces.
After seeing Tang Bai wake up, Tang's mother's tears fell instantly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay, it's all over." She comforted him like this, 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 perfectly ended the voyage of the Discovery with amazing willpower and operation.
Tang's mother could hardly imagine how much suffering Tangtang, whom they held in their hands, had endured at that moment.
The doctor standing in front of the bed checked Tang Bai's condition and said that Tang Bai was not seriously ill for the time being. He could not engage in strenuous exercise during this period and needed to rest well.
After the doctors who had formed a circle around him left, Tang Bai saw Mo Zheng and others beside his bed. The old man sitting on the chair was wearing a military uniform and had a serious expression. After noticing that Tang Bai had woken up, the old man gave Tang Bai a somewhat stiff smile.
Tang Bai blinked blankly. He remembered that this seemed to be the old man of the Mo family. He had no connection with this old man. Could it be that the other party was sitting in front of the bed waiting for him to wake up?
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Admiral Mo tried to say so.
Mo Zheng looked at his grandfather's attitude towards Tang Bai and Yan Yuese with some envy. You know, he didn't get any care from his grandfather even when he woke up.
"No, I'm fine now." Tang Bai sat up. He had a headache and weak limbs, but other than that everything was normal.
Admiral Mo continued to smile stiffly. He obviously didn't know how to get along with the younger generation. 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 thigh and said, "Okay, I'm glad you're okay. You are a good kid. You should work hard. I am optimistic about your future."
"Okay, don't try to trick my Tangtang into driving your broken battleship. Tangtang will inherit our Tang family's weapons research institute in the future." Grandpa Tang immediately saw through Admiral Mo's intention and rejected it mercilessly.
"This kind of thing needs to be decided by the children." Admiral Mo poked at Grandpa Tang's fiery gaze: "Tang Bai, after you graduate, are you interested in going to the First Star Cluster to start a warship?"
The First Star Group of the Federation was established by the founding marshal. It is recognized throughout the Federation that only the best soldiers can join the First Star Group.
This is the place that graduates of the Federal Military Academy try their best to get into, but unfortunately, Tang Bai wants to inherit the family property.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Master Mo, but I am more interested in mecha manufacturing and weapons research. I will probably go to the weapons research institute for internship after graduation." Tang Bai declined.
General Mo didn't say much after hearing this expected answer. He encouraged Tang Bai, "Have a good rest and keep working hard in the future!"
After General Mo left, Grandpa Tang solved Tang Bai's doubts: "He is the old Kang."
"Before this old guy entered the game, he said at a meeting that it was inappropriate for omegas to join a military academy. I should have recorded what he said at the time and played it on a loop when he was poaching people." Although Grandpa Tang spoke with disdain, his eyes were filled with pride for having defeated his old friend.
All the old comrades had alpha grandchildren, and they showed off to him one by one. But now, what's the point of having an alpha? Our Tangtang, an omega, is more promising than all the alphas!
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, "Are the NPCs in the game played by real people?"
This incident is not mentioned in the book.
But think about it, in the book, Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan beat up a bunch of NPCs. In addition to Xie Ruheng's group, there were many NPCs fighting with players in the book. It was unpleasant in the game, but I might be embarrassed to mention it in real life.
"Is Lu En also played by a real person?" Tang Bai was impressed by this NPC.
"Well, a kid from the military, younger than your dad, I think his name is Jiao Jian." Grandpa Tang mentioned casually. After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Bai with both heartache and pride, "You have grown up."
The child they had always protected saved everyone this time.
When the spaceship arrived at the energy star, the news was not only reported throughout the federation, but also made headlines in various countries.
An unknown virus infected the game system. There were a total of one thousand students entering the game. Except for Qin Jun who was devoured by the virus at the beginning, and a student on the Dream who unfortunately became a vegetable, only a few of the remaining 998 students were affected by the virus invading the system and suffered brain nerve damage.
Such a high survival rate is largely due to Tang Bai.
Tang Bai came up with a mechanical vine combat plan. In the last ten seconds before the end of the game, the cockpit was damaged. Tang Bai endured the pain and headed the spaceship towards the energy star in an environment that was unsuitable for human survival and without protective clothing. This series of operations could even be included in spaceship driving textbooks!
A screenshot of the game was circulating online, showing Tang Bai wearing a driving helmet and collapsing on a console. His blood had stained the console red, and his slender figure formed a sharp contrast with the ferocious Zerg behind him.
This time, there was no need for Bai Zhi's operation, and the label of Omega Light spread throughout the federation.
Tang Bai felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Grandpa Tang. He said shyly, "Grandpa, do you know where Brother Xie is?"
Grandpa Tang: "......" He has grown up...
