Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Commander Gu’s Tears
Gu Jue fired his gun at his right hand.
"Gu Tao! Where did you put the Destruction Device?"
The control button fell to the ground from Gu Tao’s hand.
He seemed unaware of the pain.
Still acting insane.
"Impossible! Why didn’t it explode? I don’t believe it! How could it not explode?!"
The man shouted crazily as he ran towards the outside!
Seeing this, Aiwei reached out to grab Gu Qiang.
Gu Jue blocked him with his hand, "Don’t catch him, see where he is going!"
Wanwan had still not been found.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Wanwan must be near that Destruction Device right now!
And currently, Gu Tao was the only person who knew where the Destruction Device was placed!
Gu Jue’s guess wasn’t wrong.
They followed the crazed Gu Tao for a long distance until they reached deep within the Imperial Palace Garden.
There, they saw Su Wan lying on the ground, unconscious!
"Wanwan!"
The flowers in the garden were still blooming vividly.
Pale-faced Su Wan lay beside the Destruction Device.
Beneath her dress, a golden mermaid tail laid on the ground...
This scene nearly drove Gu Jue mad!
He immediately embraced Su Wan, feeling her extremely weak breath, and her pulse that was nearly imperceptible.
Gu Jue’s eyes instantly reddened!
He lifted Su Wan horizontally and ran outside.
"Wanwan, hold on, I’m taking you to the doctor right away, you must hold on..."
At this moment, apart from being deathly pale, Su Wan’s lips were also almost pale pink.
She seemed as if she were asleep.
Quiet, beautiful.
Without any sign of life...
Gu Jue was all too familiar with this state of Wanwan!
Back when she was thirteen, she was injured by a Star Thief on a spaceship and fell into a coma, turning into a vegetable.
Just like this!
Tears streamed down Gu Jue’s cheeks.
Falling onto the face of his delicate wife in his embrace.
She remained asleep.
Unmoved.
"Wanwan, wake up! I waited so long for you to awaken, we have only just been together, and you also promised to watch the universe fireworks with me, there are so many things we haven’t done yet..."
The interstellar live broadcast had not ended.
Everyone was watching in utter shock.
Su Wan had turned into a mermaid?
And a golden-tailed mermaid at that?
And their War God, the Interstellar Empire’s number one Commander Gu Jue, was now in tears!
Over the years, since Su Wan married Commander Gu, most people had been opposed to it.
They believed that Su Wan was not worthy of their War God.
But at this moment, as they watched Commander Gu hold the comatose mermaid, tears streaming down his face...
Everyone understood one thing.
He loved her deeply.
Very deeply!
Many watching the live broadcast had teary eyes.
Su Wan, wake up quickly.
Look at Commander Gu’s tears.
At that moment, Ouyang Qing, Gu Qingyu, and others with medical equipment rushed over to treat Su Wan.
But Gu Jue was holding the person in his arms tightly.
Ouyang Qing hurriedly said, "Commander, let go quickly, let me check on Xiaowan to see what’s wrong with her!"
Gu Qingyu also said, "We need to check on Xiaowan quickly; we can’t delay any longer!"
The depths of Gu Jue’s eyes were frighteningly dark.
He was dazed for a few seconds.
Then, he finally let go of her hand.
Meanwhile, as Ouyang Qing and others conducted examinations and attempted to resuscitate Su Wan,
Gu Jue stood there motionless.
Like a statue carved from ice.
The online viewers felt uncomfortable seeing this scene.
Everyone was praying, hoping that Su Wan would wake up soon.
However, some people raised questions.
"Su Wan is a pure human, right? How did she turn into a mermaid?"
"Damn! A pure golden tail, I’ve never seen it before! And I’ll add, I’m from the Mermaid Planet!"
"I remember that Su Wan was supposed to be with Queen Luo Manya. Now, her child is still over there."
"So, how did she find that Destruction Device?"
"Could it have been, Commander Gu told her?"
"Impossible, didn’t you see? Commander Gu also had no idea where she was just now, he was frantically searching for her."
"..."
Everyone was speculating about the truth of the situation.
But regardless, the person who stopped the explosion and saved many lives
was the very Su Wan who had never been accepted or favored by them...
On this side, Su Wan had been placed on a soft bed, where she remained unconscious.
Gu Jue stayed by her side throughout.
Little Gu Chen was also brought over.
The little wolf-eared baby looked at his mother lying still.
Tears fell drop by drop.
He wiped his tears with the back of his hand, then looked up at Gu Jue with expectant eyes, "Daddy, what’s wrong with mommy? Why has mommy been sleeping so long, she won’t wake up even when I call her?"
Gu Jue did not say a word.
He stood as if he were made of ice.
His face was emotionless, his gaze hollow.
At that moment, Gu Zilan and Luo Manya arrived hurriedly.
Seeing Su Wan unconscious on the bed, they anxiously asked Ouyang Qian.
"What exactly is wrong with Xiaowan?"
At this time, Gu Jue slowly lifted his head, his gaze still vacant as he looked at her.
Ouyang Qing said, "Xiaowan is a Beastman who evolved later in life, her body’s various metrics have always been unstable."
"Because of severe overuse of her superpower and mental power, I had already warned her during her Instant Teleportation earlier that she absolutely should not allow any fluctuations in her superpower for the near future."
"Now, her body has entered into a state of self-protection."
"I can only say that there won’t be any immediate danger to her life, but when she’ll wake up is unknown."
Luo Manya choked up, covering her mouth and whispering, "I have heard from Jina before, that when Xiaowan was thirteen and encountered danger, she lay in the healing pod for five years."
Everyone fell silent.
If Su Wan had not gone to stop the Destruction Device,
she would not have overdrawn her superpower, not have drained her spiritual power...
**
The coup that took place in the Federal Empire quickly spread to other planets.
The operation that was originally supposed to be carried out to eliminate the Insectoids had to be postponed.
Gu Zilan speculated that whether Gu Tao was successful or not in his sudden act of madness, it would delay their joint operation against the Insectoids.
In a sense,
their conspiracy had succeeded.
However, at this time, another communication came through.
Aiwei: "Your Majesty, it’s Lan Ruochen from the Mermaid Planet calling."
Gu Zilan nodded, "Put it through."
The projection came through, and Lan Ruochen in the frame bowed to Gu Zilan first.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply grieved by the recent events in the Empire. If there’s anything you need from the Mermaid Planet, feel free to ask."
Gu Zilan: "The matters of the Alliance may need to be discussed later."
My uncle seems to have changed.
He’s become even colder than before.
All day long, he stays in the mansion, watching over his unconscious aunt...
Lan Ruochen hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "Your Majesty, we saw some live broadcasts online, and I wanted to confirm something. Su Wan, the wife of the Commander, has she truly evolved into a mermaid with a golden tail?"
