Chapter 93: Add more

The old captain took out his precious energy crystals, a reserve he would never use until a critical moment, but when he saw the anxious Tang Bai, he did not hesitate to say, "Since it is your companion who is in danger, I will help you."

The old hand fell on Tang Bai's shoulder, "You will pilot the ship, you must be faster than me."

Looking at the loving face, Tang Bai blurted out, "Thank you, Grandpa Captain!"

Old Kang, who was called Grandpa, was stunned for a moment, how long had it been since he had heard that title?

With a big hand patting Tang Bai's shoulder, the old captain smiled and said, "Go on, do a good job."

"Ding - npc Old Kang has +1 good feeling towards you," the system beep sounded in Tang Bai's mind.

Tang Bai watched the old captain leave, suspecting that he was hallucinating, but he didn't seem to have done anything this time.

The old captain stepped out of the cockpit to see Lu En smoking in the corner, the white smoke curling around his sharp facial features and his narrow eyes narrowing slightly.

"What are you looking at?" The old captain asked.

Lu En chewed on his cigarette and slurred, "The hall."

The old captain and Lu En stood side by side, looking out into the hall at the frenzied crowd of players.

Rong Yao is modifying his mech, Qiu Yan and Lu Lv are giving Rong Yao advice, while Xie Ruhang sits alone on the sofa and talks to himself in the air.

If a player's words or actions are likely to reveal the presence of the game system, the system will itself harmonise some of the player's actions.

Now, for example, when Xie Ruhang says to the pop-ups, "Can you tell me what's going on over there?"

It is automatically harmonised with superstitious behaviour such as "O God of the Universe, can you tell me what's going on there".

Lu En clutched his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring as he commented lightly, "Sick."

Xie Ruhang was unaware that his image in the minds of the NPCs had been discredited by the system. He was reading the pop-ups, which had just been opened up for players and pop-ups to communicate with each other in order to facilitate rescue, when they were chattering about the situation.

That bug is smart! Gu Tunan and the others tried to hide, but the bug crawled into the cab! Gu Tunan and the others had to come out and fight!

[You Xiang's mind was instantly dulled and slowed down after being bitten by that insectoid, I wonder if it will affect his body in reality]

[That insectoid keeps growing, it's already three meters tall fuck!

[Gu Tunan's group was so miserable, after You Xiang was injured, the insects were fighting against You Xiang, Mo Zheng had to take You Xiang elsewhere, now Gu Tunan and Bai Li were the only ones holding up!

[Mo Zheng is back! It's three against one, and I suspect Brother Gu is pulling too much hate, and now that bug is attacking Brother Gu!

*

Its icy red eyes are filled with a tyrannical light, its huge muzzle emits a foul stench and its constantly vibrating reddish-brown wings accelerate its speed, and by now the insect has grown to the size of a caravan.

Mo Zheng said bitterly, "Its shell is so immune to damage that our current long-range attacks can only do damage to its tentacles, eyes, and wings; if we use long-range weapons with higher damage intensity, we will punch through the ship."

"No way! It's moving too fast to hit those parts in time!" Bai Li blurted out, carrying the electromagnetic cannon.

Gu Tunan's eyes were calm as he looked at the insectoid charging towards him and said in a gruff voice, "You find a chance to disrupt it and slow it down!"

The insectoid charged with a speed that was at odds with its massive body, letting out a low growl at the fang-strewn muzzle that it sharply avoided, and its metallic claws lashed out!

Gu Tunan ducks and dodges, narrowly avoiding the insectoid's claws!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull sound of the energy cannon's gun echoed in Gu Tunan's ears as Mo Zheng fired an attack that hit the insect wing with precision.

This insectoid has regenerative powers, but the regenerative powers are not perverted to the point where it can grow wings in a second.

And the line between life and death can be as close as a second.

With a lightsaber in each hand, Gu Tunan leaps upwards with incredible force, hurling both lightsabers together into the huge compound eye!

"Roar...!" The insect swung its claws wildly, and at this close range, even though Gu Tunan had struck and left, the mech he was piloting was inevitably struck in the chest by the claws!

In a flash, a deep crack appeared in the thick mech, with bright blood coming through the claw marks.

"Warning! You have been attacked by the sharp claws of a mutant insectoid, this damage triggers a continuous bleed effect and you will lose life at a rate of 5 points per minute!"

Gu Tunan fell heavily to the ground and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his first reaction in the midst of the excruciating pain was to be thankful that he didn't feel any vertigo.

When You Xiang was bitten on the arm, the first sensation was dizziness, as if the whole person had suffered a severe mental trauma.

Is it the devouring of a limb by a mouthpiece that causes realistic injuries?

"Ho--!!!"

The two lightsabers plunged so deep that the mutant insectoid hissed and tried to pull out the ever-discharging lightsabers, but unfortunately its claws were too big for such precision for a while, and the regeneration function helped in this case instead, as the ever-tangling flesh and blood wrapped the two lightsabers even tighter.

The blind insects are a target at the moment, Bai Li carrying his electromagnetic cannon and desperately venting his firepower.

"How are you?" Mo Zheng rushed anxiously to Gu Tunan's side, "Can you still pilot the mecha?"

"It's okay." Gu Tunan took out a medical bandage and dressed his wound with a miserable grimace, "When will the rescue team be here?"

When Mo Zheng opened the pop-ups, he saw a screen full of "Gu Tunan is awesome" and a prominent "Friends are on their way! Hang in there a little longer".

Mo Zheng was overjoyed and he looked up to tell Gu Tunan the good news, but the next moment his smile froze on his face.

He saw the insectoid gouge out its own eye directly, its pitch-black, empty sockets turned towards them, and within three seconds the otherwise empty sockets sprouted compound eyes covered in hate.

"Run!!!" Mo Zheng's ears were ringing with Gu Tunan's roar and he had no time to think.

Gu Tunan and Mo Zheng ran in the opposite direction as the mech's defences shattered and he could smell the strong stench behind him, the cold, paranoid gaze following him with a deadly intensity.

Oh no, the mutant insectoid had clearly gotten faster while he had reduced his speed due to his injuries.

Gu Tunan subconsciously dodged sideways as another chill ran through his back like a poisonous snake.

"BOOM!!!"

Gu Tunan's face twisted for a moment as he could feel his entire arm, along with his shoulder, lose consciousness.

If he hadn't dodged just in time, I'm afraid his entire spine would have been broken by this time.

"Warning! You have been attacked by the sharp claws of a mutant insectoid, this damage triggers a fracture effect on your left arm, two damage stacks and you will lose life at a rate of 6 points per minute!"

Gu Tunan didn't let the pain slow him down, he darted into the room he had prepared and closed the door before he heard the sound of insects chewing on the hatch!

Gu Tunan is on his knees, his stamina declining with the loss of blood, and the game panel shows that he is now in a weakened state.

His left arm was immobilised and Gu Tunan, in a cold sweat, raised his energy cannon with his right hand and aimed it at the precarious hatch.

He had attracted enough hate value from this insectoid, and his teammates should be able to hold out until help came.

Although he had previously disliked Mo Zheng, the alpha who always pestered Tang Bai, and Bai Li, the alpha who caused Tang Bai to fight for his life in physical fitness class, the two obnoxious alphas got along quite well in this side-by-side battle.

It's barely enough to be his opponent.

Damn it, if this insectoid wasn't able to regenerate infinitely and grow extremely fast, like a hang-up, he wouldn't have lost ......

No, isn't this mutant insectoid a bug in the game?

Looking at the growing hole, Gu Tunan sniggered to himself.

The fishy stench from the insects grew stronger and Gu Tunan could seem to hear the countdown to death as he strained to carry his energy cannon and aim his gun at the insects' gaping maws.

Gu Tunan then concentrated on hitting the firing button and the energy bomb hit its target directly, sending the dense tusks flying in all directions with a loud rumble!

But this insectoid's regenerating constitution allows it to grow brand new sharp fangs on the fly!

Going to die?

Gu Tunan used his last ounce of strength to roll lazily on the ground to avoid most of the attack, but even a fraction of it landed on him and almost cost him half his life.

"Warning! You have been attacked by the sharp claws of a mutant insectoid, this damage triggers ......" The system beep Gu Tunan was somewhat inaudible.

I'm so upset that it's over, that I didn't make a career out of it, that I didn't get Tang Bai to come around, that I didn't persuade my little dad to live the life he wanted ......

With his consciousness fading and his vitality dwindling at a rapid rate, the seriousness of his injuries has pulled Gu Tunan to the brink of death and he has no strength left to fight.

Just as Gu Tunan slowly closed his eyes, a pink mech burst into the room, a mech too fast to be caught with the naked eye, and in just a flash, the pink mech leapt high into the air, clutching a light energy sword in both hands!

The dazzling light of the lightsabre was unleashed at the huge insects, extending like a pillar of light across the heavens and the earth, piercing their skulls with an unstoppable force!

Kill move! LIGHT!!!

The light energy sword transformed by Tang Bai's heart exploded with a lurid energy, a dazzling light rippling through the air-

The seemingly indestructible head of the insectoid was covered in cracks and its massive body collapsed with a crash.

In the nick of time as the insects regenerated, Xie Ruhang reached down and picked up the dying Gu Tunan, carrying him and his mech on his shoulders, and raced out of the house, saying in a deep voice to Gu Tunan, "Hold on! And!"

"Although I'm handsome in saving the beauty this time! But you mustn't fall in love with me!"

He wanted to retort to Xie Ruhang, but he was too tired to speak, too tired to fall into a deep sleep at the hiss of rage coming from behind him.

On the other side.

Tang Bai sits in the pilot's seat, his ten fingers flicking over a dense array of buttons as two ship's operating systems appear on the console screen, one for Discovery and the other for Ideal.

The amount of energy required to control two ships at once is immense, and the average person would be overwhelmed by one ship, but Tang Bai is calm and methodical, with amber eyes.

Ideal's energy has dropped below the red line, the ship's defences are a hollow shell and all indicators are that the ship will not be able to sustain itself for much longer.

Another moment's delay and the ship would run out of energy to even activate its self-destruct mode.

Tang Bai asked into the microphone, "Brother Xie, the stairs to Discovery and Ideal are closing in ten seconds, can you make it?!"

In response, Xie Ruhang gave a dashing, "Chirp!"

It was the kiss of victory they had agreed to.
