Chapter 324: Chapter 324: The Little Charming Wife Is Disobedient?
Meanwhile, in the camera’s view, five students from Yuanyi University were surrounded by a swarm of Insect Beasts!
Even though these Insect Beasts were not high-level, their sheer number was overwhelming!
There was no recourse; a student from Yuanyi University had to log out first.
When that student logged out, the scene was gruesome; an Insect Beast had bitten off one of his arms!
Jiang Yuan gazed at the disparity with Empire University, feeling a sense of unwillingness.
Clenching his teeth, he charged straight at the Insect Beasts!
The long octopus tentacles penetrated the swarm of beasts, reaching directly for the remaining four students!
Jiang Yuan looked up, just in time to see the two students being wrapped up above!
Alive or dead, it was unknown!
Why didn’t they force a logout?
Could it be that they couldn’t log out?
Jiang Yuan realized the seriousness of the problem and turned back to shout at his companions, "Everyone log out quickly!"
As he shouted, he spread his wings and flew up into the sky.
Just as they were all trapped, suddenly a group of people wearing silver custom combat suits descended from the sky.
Together, they fought against the giant octopus.
And against the swarms of Insect Beasts!
It was Li Rui and his team arriving in time.
The giant octopus, seeming to know it was outmatched, quickly retreated while simultaneously shrinking in size.
Eventually, it even released the two students it had captured.
Then with a swoosh, it slipped into a sewer drain.
Vanishing out of sight.
Li Rui and his team drove away the Insect Beasts, then rescued several students.
Besides Lan Rui and Gill, who had been captured before, the students from Yuanyi University were injured to varying degrees, but they seemed to be in stable condition for the most part.
Li Rui patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, "Log out now. Your physical wounds will recover quickly, but your spiritual power has taken a hit and needs proper rest."
Jiang Yuan didn’t move immediately; he glanced again at his neuro-computer.
Alright, Empire University’s score had risen once again, widening the gap between them significantly.
They couldn’t catch up.
Agros looked around and said, "Jiang Yuan, did you see the people from Empire University?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "At first, I ran into Sheng An from their team, but then she must have rejoined her group. This place was originally Empire University’s hunting ground. But they left for some reason."
"Right, you log out."
After sending off the few students, Agros was somewhat worried.
Li Rui said, "Are you worried about your sister? She’ll be fine, she’s very strong in combat."
Agros: "She is strong, but she can be impulsive when faced with situations."
Li Rui: "No worries, they have Su Wan in their team."
Moreover, according to the timeline, ’Big Brother’ should have also entered this Virtual Hunting Ground.
Li Rui’s guess was not wrong.
Su Wan’s team had originally planned to just hunt a few Insect Beasts occasionally from inside the safe house.
The most important thing was, if they held out until the end and logged out last, they would get an extra bonus to their score.
However, their ’luck’ was indeed against heaven’s will.
They actually encountered two S-class Insect Beasts that had come together!
Before Su Wan and her team could make a move, they saw someone leap high into the air, then with a laser gun in hand, accurately aimed at one of the Insect Beasts... which was frozen.
A one-shot kill!
Minutes later, the other Insect Beast was also neatly taken care of.
This person didn’t even use Mecha!
Alex widened his eyes, "My God, is that a superhero?"
Sheng An calmly said, "Not a superhero, a Super S-class Beastman."
Su Wan had already run over quickly.
She reached out and embraced the person.
"Ajue, why have you come?"
Gu Jue hugged his delicate wife tightly.
Even now, within the holographic simulation, he still held her tightly.
Gu Jue, "One of Lucifer’s tentacles has also entered here."
Su Wan was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Gu Jue, "There’s no time to explain now. You and your classmates, log off first. I’ll explain after everything’s been dealt with."
He kissed her forehead and said, "Be good."
After being kissed by Gu Jue, Su Wan then remembered her friends were still there.
Her cheeks turned slightly warm, and she nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Su Wan turned back and walked towards her friends.
As a result, her classmates, used to such displays and seeing nothing odd about them—even Bai Qi, the younger student seeing the couple’s affectionate scene for the first time—showed good acceptance.
Su Wan let out a sigh of relief.
She said, "We’ve been infiltrated by Star Thieves. We need to log off immediately."
No one voiced any objections. After all, they had all finished first.
Pandora seemed a bit unsatisfied with the lack of Insect Beast kills, but she did not disobey Su Wan and logged off as well.
Su Wan saw that all her friends had logged off and then turned back around.
She found Gu Jue still standing there, watching her.
Su Wan suddenly realized something, "Ajue, did you come in a hurry and forget to import Azure Dragon’s data?"
Gu Jue, "I’m fine. Besides, Li Rui and the others are bringing reinforcements. Wanwan, you log off first."
Su Wan shook her head, "No! If there’s real danger, I can resist for a while using Vermilion Bird! Let’s meet up with Li Rui and the others. Once we meet, I’ll log off!"
Commander Gu frowned slightly.
His delicate wife was not obeying!
Just at that moment, a pink tentacle suddenly stretched out from a dark corner nearby.
It wrapped around Su Wan’s waist instantly!
Gu Jue shouted, "Wanwan, be careful!"
The moment Su Wan was wrapped around the waist, she immediately pulled out a scalpel from her boot and slashed at the tentacle!
At the same time, Gu Jue had already fired several shots at the tentacle’s head!
A moment later, a freed Su Wan rolled on the spot and summoned the Vermilion Bird!
In just a few seconds, she had entered the mecha and opened fire on the increasingly large octopus!
The blast from her cannon brought down the buildings nearby, causing a thunderous noise.
In the air, there was the smell of something burning.
If Little Gu Chen had been there, he would probably be very excited again.
Smoke was everywhere, and Su Wan could no longer see Gu Jue!
Su Wan, "Vermilion Bird, activate thermal sensing, search for people!"
Vermilion Bird, "Master, at your three o’clock, someone is approaching. Wrong, you have another person at your eight o’clock!"
Su Wan, "One is Ajue, the other is Lucifer. Lucifer has turned back into human form."
There’s only one bullet left in the cannon.
Too many bullets were wasted when fighting the Insect Beasts.
Su Wan pursed the corners of her mouth, watching as the figures on either side closed in.
Su Wan, "Vermilion Bird, how long will this smoke take to clear?"
Vermilion Bird, "About ten seconds."
If she let Lucifer come closer, then Ajue, who was also approaching, would be in danger!
Su Wan closed her eyes, sensing the air. Suddenly, she fired in the direction of three o’clock!
