Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Pampering Her ’Big Wolfhound
The laser cannon directly blasted that person into a swath of code.
In the air hung the scent of charred octopus legs.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Li Rui and others who had just arrived promptly cleared the surrounding security risks.
Su Wan emerged from her mecha, and with a stretch of her hand, she casually tied her somewhat disheveled long hair with a hairband.
But the hairband snapped and fell to the ground.
Gu Jue, dressed in a dark military uniform, walked over, picked up the hairband, and shook off the dust from it.
With a helpless tone he said, "Wanwan, you almost committed marital homicide just now."
Su Wan: "I only had one photon cannon left, no room for gambling. And besides, a hit from the photon cannon wouldn’t have killed you, but it would have kicked Lucifer out of the Virtual Hunting Ground."
Gu Jue was at a loss for words.
If Su Wan were his subordinate, then for her actions just now, Gu Jue would give her full marks.
In that moment, to be able to analyze so calmly and strike decisively...
Commander Gu truly felt proud!
But this was his wife...
If it weren’t so out of place, those fuzzy wolf ears would probably pop out.
Then they would droop down, turning into airplane ears.
Was Wanwan less affectionate toward him, and that’s why at that moment she completely disregarded the identity of her dear husband...
Su Wan realized that the tall man in front of her seemed a bit downcast.
Even if that shot just now had truly hit him, it wouldn’t have caused him any real harm.
But Su Wan still wanted to coax this ’big wolf dog’.
Her voice softened, "Come on, there’s a more romantic explanation. That is, my thought at the time was, ’My Ajue would absolutely not be standing to my eight o’clock direction.’
Eight implies farewell.
How could her Ajue be saying farewell to her?
Gu Jue felt satisfied inside, and a doting smile spread across his lips.
He reached out and gently touched the soft top of his petite wife’s hair.
"Alright, quickly log off and go get a checkup from the doctor. After I deal with the follow-up issues, I’ll contact you."
"Okay, I’ll project to your location later. I want to see Xiaochen too."
"Hmm."
Su Wan finally clicked to log out.
She was the last of the twenty-five students to go offline.
When she came out of the virtual pod, Su Wan felt weak all over; it was probably due to overexertion, but it wasn’t a big issue.
As soon as she emerged, she was surrounded by several friends.
Sheng An supported her out of the virtual pod. "Xiaowan, why are you the last to come out? You scared us to death!"
Su Wan: "I’m fine. Don’t I look alright?"
Gu Lei also hurried over. Seeing that Su Wan was fine, his expression eased a bit.
He said: "Xiaowan, let Commander Gu take care of everything else. You go get a physical checkup first."
Su Wan nodded.
All students coming out of the Virtual Hunting Ground needed to undergo a comprehensive health check by military medics.
Sheng An was too worried about Su Wan, so he waited with her.
Sheng An: "All the students have come out. I heard that Lan Rui and Gill were the most seriously injured; they were taken away by the octopus. Everyone else is fine, just minor injuries."
Su Wan nodded in acknowledgment.
Just some injuries, that was still okay.
This time, Lucifer’s appearance didn’t cause too much damage.
After a series of checks confirmed that Su Wan was also without any serious issues, Gu Lei waved his hand and let the kids go back to the dorm to rest.
After returning to the dormitory, Su Wan checked her light-brain.
Gu Jue hadn’t contacted me yet, which likely meant he was still handling the situation.
Pandora had already returned to the dormitory. When she saw Su Wan come back, she quickly asked about her condition.
Su Wan said, "I’m fine. Look at me, aren’t I all right?"
Pandora, "I just saw my cousin earlier, and he said that the Virtual Hunting Ground has been thoroughly cleared of any Star Thief presence. But now, everyone is wondering why that Star Thief appeared in the Virtual Hunting Ground in the first place."
Sheng An, "Could it be that they obtained the privilege to access the Virtual Hunting Ground? But that should be a privilege reserved for security officers, right?"
Pandora, "No way, do we have an inside job, a Star Thief accomplice among us? Or could it be that their technology is highly advanced, to the point where they can hack into our Virtual Hunting Ground?"
Su Wan, while listening to her two friends, suddenly thought of Lucifer’s superpower.
Appearing in many places at the same time.
What kind of superpower was that?
**
It was eight o’clock in the evening when Su Wan received a projection call from Gu Jue.
In the projection, a baby with wolf ears clung to a big bag of squid strips, reaching out his little hands and warmly greeted Su Wan.
"Mommy, miss you!"
Su Wan’s heart instantly turned very tender.
She said, "Xiaochen, be good and listen to Daddy at home. Mommy will be back in a little over a week."
Baby with wolf ears, "Mhmm! Always listening to Daddy!"
Mainly because he didn’t dare not to...
In the video, a pair of handsome and long hands appeared, directly picking up the baby with wolf ears and moving him to the side.
Gu Jue, "Xiaochen, it’s late, say goodnight to Mommy and go to bed."
Little Gu Chen’s wolf ears turned into airplane ears.
In a soft and milky voice, he said, "Mommy, goodnight, I’ll dream of you."
Su Wan grinned, "Mommy will also dream of you. Go to sleep now."
"Mhmm."
The baby with wolf ears reluctantly climbed onto his walker and went back to the children’s room by himself.
The camera was then occupied by the tall and handsome, cold-looking Commander dressed in a silver homewear.
Gu Jue, "If you dream of our baby, what about me?"
Su Wan, "We’ll dream together, the three of us, how wonderful!"
Gu Jue’s handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, not feeling that this was particularly wonderful.
However, he didn’t continue to trouble his delicate wife and instead relayed to her the events of the day.
"I had just returned to the main planet when I received a top-secret report that Lucifer was spotted in the Su Family restaurant in District Ten. I immediately took people and went there."
Su Wan, hearing this, became very anxious. "Ah, what’s with that octopus? Why go to the Su Family restaurant!"
Gu Jue, "When I arrived, he was having a meal. He told me that he hopes you really have some skills, and I thought, maybe he has plans to interfere in your competition."
"Later, when I killed him, he turned into a string of data code, leaving behind just an octopus leg."
Su Wan, "Oh right, in the Virtual Hunting Ground today, when I killed him, he also transformed into a string of data code, and an octopus leg fell."
One leg after another leg after another!
Su Wan, in disbelief, said, "This Lucifer can’t possibly have one life per leg, can he? But his octopus legs can regenerate. Even if those incarnated octopus legs are not a major threat, this endless menace, being impossible to kill, is also a huge problem!"
Gu Jue, "Even if octopus tentacles can regenerate, they should still require time. I’m currently compiling data to see what his intentions are for showing up in those locations."
"Besides, I’m still monitoring those who have had previous encounters with Lucifer to see what they’re planning to do."
Su Wan felt a hint of heartache.
"Ajue, don’t overwork yourself."
"It’s not hard, I’m just worried about you."
Even though the two of them were far apart,
at that moment, Su Wan wished she could fly straight to Gu Jue’s side.
