[??? Is Gu Tunan kidding?]
[I told you not to give up milk! This poisonous milk is going to kill me]
[I find it a bit strange. Gu Tunan shouldn’t be so confused as to not even know the difference between real people and fictional characters. Is this just a brain attack?]
Most of the Lonely Frog was charred, and it turned from a green frog into a black frog. Gu Tunan woke up from his trance and took a look at the damage rate of the mecha, which was 60%.
What was worse was that the backpack storing the mechanical vines was blown up.
But there was no impatience on Gu Tunan’s face. He calmly overturned his original battle plan in his mind. His brain was like a high-speed precision machine. The energy consumed by each killing move, weapon use, and even the normal operation of the mecha was clearly marked in his mind.
Unlike Xie Ruheng who fought with his super high fighting instinct, Gu Tunan treated a battle more like solving a problem.
There was only one answer: victory, but there were countless ways to achieve victory.
The losses caused by the damage to the mecha quickly flashed through Gu Tunan’s mind, and he came up with a new combat plan almost in a flash.
“The speed of the Lonely Frog has not decreased!!!” the host shouted excitedly, “Gu Tunan took advantage of the environment and started flying the kite!”
The energy reserves of the participating mechas were limited. Although the Night Meteors of the Night Goddess Nyx had great destructive power, they consumed a lot of energy each time and could not be used indefinitely.
Pamela became annoyed as she watched her energy reserves gradually dwindle, especially when her powerful attacks always missed, while Gu Tunan’s occasional long-range attacks were effective, her mentality became increasingly unstable.
Seeing that the Lonely Frog would subconsciously avoid the virtual NPCs every time he dodged, Pamela suddenly came up with an idea.
“The Night Goddess Nyx flew in the opposite direction of the Lonely Frog. Strange, what is she going to do?” the host asked puzzled.
Gu Tunan turned around and saw a huge shadow covering the NPCs who were hiding together for shelter. The Night Goddess Nyx aimed its gun at this place.
She didn’t fire immediately but seemed to be waiting for something.
Some NPCs were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, some were trembling and couldn’t even speak. The technology of holographic projection was very advanced, and they looked like real people.
When an NPC tried to escape from the shelter, Pamela used an energy bomb to kill the person who was trying to escape, and the virtual NPC turned into data and dispersed.
[Although I know this is just data, Pamela’s threatening behavior makes me feel physically uncomfortable]
[I’m torn. Isn’t Pamela a peace advocate?!]
[Ah, I hope Gu Tunan won’t be so stupid as to try to block the gun muzzle again, but I also hope Gu Tunan won’t really stand by and watch the victims die.]
[Am I the only one who thinks this is Gu Tunan’s fault? If he hadn’t had a brain attack, Pamela wouldn’t have resorted to such a desperate measure.]
[The victim-blaming theory is late, but it has arrived. Am I the only one who thinks the above person is stupid?]
Gu Tunan frowned.
Did he read an inexplicable certainty from his opponent’s posture?
It seemed as if she was sure that he would save these virtual NPCs.
In fact, Pamela’s choice to use these NPCs to threaten him was a bit strange. This was a competition, not a real war. There was no need to use such unscrupulous methods just to win or lose.
If he chose not to go, some people may attack him for being cold-blooded, but before blaming him, Pamela would be spurned by more public opinion. Only when he really went would someone support Pamela. After all, many people believed in only looking at the results, not the process.
Gu Tunan himself didn’t know why he had mistaken the little girl NPC as a real person. Maybe it was because the child was very close to his brother’s age, or maybe it was because his high-intensity training during this period made him mentally exhausted. But why did Pamela pin her hopes of victory on something that was impossible?
Was Pamela just cold-hearted by nature? Would she do anything to achieve her goals?
Various speculations quickly passed through the minds of the two mechas, who were deadlocked in place.
Some NPCs began to beg Gu Tunan to come over, but when they saw that Gu Tunan didn’t move at all, they started to curse at him in despair.
At this moment, the NPC girl that Gu Tunan rescued walked out of the crowd holding a doll. Her floral dress was dirty, her braided hair was messy, and her little face was wet.
The examples of other NPCs escaping and being killed were still vivid in her mind. This little girl just stood at the door of the shelter. She touched the teddy bear in her hand with great care. Her parents both died in the explosion. To her, the teddy bear was her only family.
She said something to the teddy bear, tears streaming down her cheeks. Then, she threw the teddy bear in her hand away and shouted to Gu Tunan in the distance: “Big frog! Run quickly!”
When she shouted this, an NPC next to her covered her mouth, as if afraid that she would say something.
The teddy bear that the little girl threw with all her might rolled and landed not far from Gu Tunan.
It was all alone, covered with dust and blood. If the little bear could cry, it would probably be shedding tears like the little girl at this moment.
Gu Tunan looked at the little girl who had run out of tears. Her eyes were filled with countless sorrows, and they overlapped for a moment with the amber eyes in his memory.
That day he and Tang Bai met in a restaurant. He ordered the mango dessert that Tang Bai didn’t like. When Tang Bai wanted to end their relationship as fiancé, Tang Bai looked at him with those eyes and said to him, Gu Tunan, you really disappoint me.
Tang Bai’s voice was so soft, but his eyes were so sad that he looked like he was about to cry.
It was just a moment of trance, but Gu Tunan’s excellent willpower allowed him to quickly realize that this was not a real person.
But he couldn’t help but think of Tang Bai.
Tang Bai, who liked Palulu dolls and was very gentle to NPCs.
In fact, he couldn’t understand why Tang Bai liked these things and why he wasted his emotions on virtual things.
The Gu family had a savings room, which contained many stuffed toys. It was said that those were bought by their little father as toys, and these toys were put away when the eldest brother grew up.
Those dolls were useless and only omegas would play with them.
If a child always touched these before differentiation, what will happen if he becomes an omega?!
Xiao Nan, you have to learn to reflect on yourself. You can’t fall in the same place twice!
As soldiers, we cannot let our emotions get the better of us.
The words of his father and grandfather echoed in his ears, but it seemed that no one had ever taught him to be gentle.
Gu Tunan thought so as he took a step forward. He suddenly wanted to pick up the little bear. That was all.
Pamela’s artillery carriage kept moving in the direction of Gu Tunan, and as long as the Lonely Frog came into her range, she would immediately launch an attack.
Victory must be hers!
So what if you’re a genius?!
Just as Pamela was immersed in the fantasy of victory, she suddenly heard a strange starting sound.
That was the sound of large weapons being activated.
At the moment when the mechanical clamp of the Lonely Frog was about to touch the bear doll, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the shelter, tearing through the swirling darkness. This grand explosion annihilated everything around the shelter.
The NPC in despair activated the shelter’s self-destruct device, which would have destroyed the entire shelter.
——”Goodbye, little bear. I’m going to heaven to find my parents.”
In the death countdown, she wanted to send her bear out of the blast range.
“Oh my god!” the host said blankly, “The NPCs and Pamela died together.”
At this moment, everyone was so shocked by the dramatic reversal that they couldn’t recover. In the catastrophic explosion, only Gu Tunan was spared.
The public screen showed a wonderful replay of the Lonely Frog in this game. The huge frog mecha stood in front of the crying little girl. The little girl had tears on her face. She raised her head and looked at the funny and ugly frog. When the overwhelming energy bombs kept hitting the frog’s back, making a deafening and terrifying sound –
She carefully leaned her trembling body against the frog, holding the teddy bear tightly in her arms.
Just like she used to be afraid of thunder and would cry and hug her parents when she couldn’t sleep.
But she no longer had parents.
After the replay ended, the champion of the game was displayed in gold font on the public screen.
“This game is won by Gu Tunan’s Lonely Frog from the Federal Team!!!” the host shouted first. This loud shout broke the silence and the whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers!
