Chapter 27 Unlucky

Lu Xiaoyao never imagined that instead of being "killed," she would be taken out by another teammate's sudden explosion, killed by the overwhelming bodily fluids spewing from their body.

The reason why the venom made from the bodily fluids of the Starfire Insect was incurable was mainly because the toxins in each Starfire Insect's bodily fluid were different.

Lu Xiaoyao was already battered and bruised by the previous wave of starships, though not fatally. However, after the other party died and exploded, she was drenched in their bodily fluids, the toxins directly entering her body, and that was the end of Lu Xiaoyao.

This time, Lu Xiaoyao cried loudly upon being eliminated.

Especially since everyone else in the starship cabin was still in the game when she woke up, making her feel even more melancholic.

Unable to hold back, Lu Xiaoyao cried miserably, and when she noticed Julian sending her a message online asking if she had arrived at her destination, Lu Xiaoyao decided to complain.

She felt wronged!

And even more wronged than Lu Xiaoyao was Waldo, who had been tricked by Doron in the game.

After dying in the game, he lay in the game pod, reviewing the events that had just transpired.

His heart was filled with complex emotions.

Sure enough, Doron's mouth was a deceiver's tool.

That guy had no intention of letting him off from the start. He targeted Lu Xiaoyao so fiercely at the beginning, saying they were all colleagues, only to pull a feint and kill him first.

Waldo could already imagine how much that guy would laugh at him when he returned to the legion!

After his depression subsided, he wanted to get out of the game pod, but because he was reminded that the starship was passing through a wormhole, he could only lie there quietly, and then he heard a suppressed sob in his ear.

It was only then that Waldo realized, wow, these game pods weren't soundproof!

"I'm so unlucky, I wasn't shot to death, but I was killed by a teammate exploding QAQ!"

Waldo: ?? That sounds familiar.

"Ah, he even calls himself a Colonel, but he's so terrible, he died even faster than me."

Waldo: Could it be...

"Waaah, he just watched me get beaten, and then he died first, what's that about?"

"Is that the legendary 'die faster for not helping'?"

Waldo: "..."

Oh, so they were talking about me =.=

Lu Xiaoyao was chatting with Julian in her game pod, completely forgetting that the game pods weren't soundproof.

"Listening to you, the pilot of the mecha that stopped you must be very powerful, it's not your fault."

Julian felt a little sorry when he heard that Lu Xiaoyao had been chased and beaten by a group of people.

Although Lu Xiaoyao was terrible at playing games and often made mistakes in the game, Julian felt a pang in his heart when he heard Lu Xiaoyao say that she was beaten until she was sore all over.

"Where are you? Your background doesn't seem to be at school, or your home, it seems."

Only after talking for a while did Lu Xiaoyao notice that Julian's background seemed to be completely white, which was completely different from the background she used to see when video chatting with Julian.

"Yeah, I came out for something."

As he said this, Julian raised his eyes to look at a place Lu Xiaoyao couldn't see.

His own father was standing in the smoking area not far away, and Julian didn't say anything as he watched him "puffing smoke."

This time, he accompanied his father on a business trip and watched his father get rebuffed for the first time. It was understandable that he was feeling melancholy and smoking.

However, the last time his father smoked was when he argued with his mother and was kicked out to sleep in the study for a month.

This matter seemed even more serious than a quarrel and cold war with his mother.

While Julian was slightly distracted, Lu Xiaoyao had already moved on to another topic: "By the way, don't you have mandatory military service in the Federation? Going to the army?"

Lu Xiaoyao only knew that the Empire's military academy service system had been changed, but she didn't seem to have heard any news from the Federation.

"Yeah, we do it after sophomore year." As Julian said this, he saw his father put out the cigarette in his hand and prepare to come out, so he said a few more words to Lu Xiaoyao and hung up.

His eyes looked at Louis walking up to him, his eyes shining with a hint of scrutiny.

Julian felt uncomfortable all over being stared at.

After a long while, Louis reached out and touched Julian's head, saying only, "I originally thought that since that Lu kid could 'come back from the dead', why couldn't Mo Wenshu?"

"Father?"

This time, he accompanied Louis to the research institute to see Ruan Xun and Yan Hui.

When Yan Hui couldn't be found anywhere else, he was most likely hiding in the research institute.

Louis looked at Yan Hui, whose appearance was completely different from the information he had but whose name was exactly the same. If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that he was the chief researcher of the research institute who disappeared before Mo Wenshu "died in battle," he wouldn't have spoken rashly.

The other party's reaction to the topic of bringing Mo Wenshu back to life was even greater than his.

However, in the end, the other party was still unwilling to agree.

He could see that it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he was also worried about something.

Therefore, Louis felt unusually tired after this conversation.

Compared to the Empire, in recent years, there have been too few outstanding people in the military in the Federation, and the outstanding younger generation who have grown up are even fewer and pitifully small.

Looking at the increasingly frequent movements of the Zerg in recent years, if the Federation really fought, there would be almost no one who could completely take on the heavy responsibility.

Thinking about this, he felt extremely troubled.

…

While the people outside the game were extremely troubled, Mingmei was also very troubled inside the game at the moment.

Although the insects had run away, Mingmei had a feeling that were the insect race in this game just them?

"Move to area 452, starships and mecha are moving towards us from areas 453 and 455."

In the shared vision of Mu Chen and Li Yuan, Mingmei felt like she was surrounded by pursuers on all sides, above and below!

And there were no reinforcements yet!

"What's going on? Where are the people...I mean, insects?! Have they all been wiped out?" Mingmei complained weakly while fleeing and dodging capture.

"They haven't been wiped out, they've probably hidden themselves."

If he hadn't met Hu Yue, Li Yuan felt that according to his own personality, if he entered this game and became a Zerg, his first reaction would be to find a corner to hide in.

It seemed that there were many insects with the same idea as him.

"Huh? How can we hide? Do I look like I can hide?"

After fleeing to a relatively safe place, Mingmei couldn't help but take a breath, and incidentally retorted to Li Yuan's words.

Although the Black Beetle wasn't the most unique or ugliest-looking of the Zerg, you couldn't pretend to be dead and hide with that shiny black armor.

"I'm not saying you should hide, I'm just giving you an idea, some of our 'companions' have just hidden, waiting for an opportunity."

"Waiting for what opportunity?"

"An opportunity to win."

"Keep dreaming." Mingmei couldn't help but retort with this sentence.

Li Yuan: "..."
