Wanqi Siling
Chapter 250 Expectations
Lu Xiaoyao was truly disgusted by these stomach-churning insects. Ever since entering the game, these visually assaulting Zerg kept coming one after another.
Each one uglier than the last.
The appearance of the Thousand-Eyed Worm couldn't just be called ugly; it was practically challenging her sanity limits.
They had finally managed to focus their fire and eliminate the Thousand-Eyed Worm that had been crawling out of the Fei Nang's head for over ten minutes, but unexpectedly, the opening on its abdomen had completely widened.
"Stardust Flame Worm larva! Holy crap!"
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyao noticed that the crack on the abdomen seemed to melt for a moment. When she saw the Zerg crawling out, the scene of being suddenly attacked by the Stardust Flame Worm in the previous round flashed before her eyes. She shouted out in an instant!
Despite being just larvae, everyone's eyelids twitched violently when they saw the Stardust Flame Worm.
"You've got to be kidding me…"
Mingmei still remembered the Stardust Flame Worm general from the previous round, which seemed to be a true Zerg NPC. So, in this round…
As Mingmei thought, her attack was already launched towards the larva. A crisp "ding" sound was heard, and everyone then discovered that several Black Armor Worms had crawled out behind the Stardust Flame Worm.
Those Black Armor Worms actually took the initiative to block the attack for the Stardust Flame Worm.
"Is this Stardust Flame Worm's starting level not low?"
Players in the channel who noticed the Black Armor Worms actively blocking attacks for the Stardust Flame Worm now saw the problem.
The internal hierarchy of the Zerg was extremely strict. Different types of Zerg generally did not cooperate with each other unless they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, and the Zerg in the higher position had strong enough mental power to drive different types of Zerg.
In the current situation, the players had directly determined that the level of this Stardust Flame Worm larva was not low.
"Players near the head, keep an eye on the Zerg appearing from the head. The rest, concentrate fire on the Stardust Flame Worm."
"That's right, we can't let the Zerg have a leader!"
Someone in the channel had already taken the initiative to propose splitting up. At this point, no one was concerned about how many points they would score in this game.
The players were completely immersed in the idea of eliminating the Zerg no matter what!
They had a premonition that the Zerg in this game were far more like the Zerg they would encounter on the battlefield in the future than the Zerg in their school's simulation courses!
With such a good practical experience, they couldn't let it go to waste!
As a result, even the thoughts of arguing earlier had subsided a lot.
This point made the expressions on the faces of a group of teachers sitting in the virtual conference room much more relaxed at this moment.
Heaven knows that the previous "public execution" had angered these teachers so much that they couldn't wait to cover their faces, disconnect from the internet, and drag those students who were still in the game out of the game pods to beat them up.
And as time passed, the fact that everyone was gradually abandoning the骂战 (màzhàn, verbal warfare) and focusing on dealing with the Zerg made them feel a little better.
Of course, it was just a little better, after all, there was always someone who liked to stab people in the back.
No one knew who it was, but just now someone suddenly said, "Well, it's a good thing it's a game, otherwise if this were really the case, we'd be screwed."
The others: "…"
That was the truth, but what you said was really unpleasant!
In response, Cheshire glanced at Teacher Xu, who had just said this, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
When others were sad, he was actively optimistic, but when everyone finally thought it through, he poured cold water on them.
You're really something, old monster!
Cheshire muttered silently, then looked at the performance of the few remaining students. Compared to their previous avoidance, they were now in a state of passionate battle where there was no escape. Cheshire felt that the remaining few were all good seedlings for combat.
Well, except for Lu Xiaoyao.
Ms. Cheshire frowned slightly. She was still hesitant about the arrangement for Lu Xiaoyao. In terms of combat, her cooperation with the students from the Federal Academy this time was still passable, but compared to Qi Hai Kui, who also cooperated with another school and was decisive at critical moments, she was still quite a bit behind.
Single-person mecha, Lu Xiaoyao's grades in regular courses were not outstanding either, so she probably couldn't go into combat in the future;
Go into logistics support?
She did remember Lu Xiaoyao's talent in mecha maintenance, but she herself was unwilling and thought it was too hard…
Cheshire pondered for a long time, and finally categorized Lu Xiaoyao into the mecha maintenance category. Since she was able to trick Lu Xiaoyao into the special recruitment class in the first place, she had no reason not to trick Lu Xiaoyao into doing mecha maintenance!
As for her brother, Lu Gui… his future had already been planned by someone.
Immediately afterwards, Cheshire's gaze turned to Mingmei and Mu Chen, and she couldn't help but sigh again.
She couldn't interfere with the future of these two either. Her side was still focused on guiding and discovering more aspects of their potential, rather than fixing them in a certain direction.
Without Mingmei knowing, her schedule for the second half of the year was once again filled.
After doing all this, Cheshire sighed. The corner of her eye noticed Xu Wensong looking at Wang Wenfei's livestream with a kind face, and he was also tilting his head to communicate with another teacher on his other side.
She remembered that the teacher sitting next to them was from the Second Military Academy.
"We didn't expect her to choose the same major as her sister…"
An elderly lady sitting next to Xu Wensong looked at Wang Wenfei's livestream with a trace of恍惚 (huǎnghū, absent-mindedness) on her face, and her tone still contained some of this恍惚 (huǎnghū, absent-mindedness), "Her serious appearance… is really like her sister."
"Although they are similar, their personalities are different." Xu Wensong said, looking straight at the lady next to him, "She is more obedient than her sister."
"Is that so?" A trace of unnaturalness suddenly flashed across the other party's face.
"After all, she is the only one left in the Wang family in this generation. Even if she doesn't like it, she has to shoulder everything."
Aside from being Wang Wenfei's teacher, Xu Wensong was also an elder who was familiar with her family. He watched Wang Wenfei grow up since she was a child, and he knew their family's situation.
"In the end, in terms of command courses, the Second Military Academy is naturally more outstanding…"
Wang Wenying's health was not good in the first place. When she applied to military academies, the Central Military Academy rejected her application because of Marshal Wang's reasons. The Second Military Academy exceptionally accepted her because of her excellent theoretical course scores.
Despite this, Wang Wenying's work was always unsatisfactory after graduation due to family reasons. It was at this time that a teacher from the Second Military Academy gave her the idea to go to Mei Qiu.
Therefore, Wang Wenying's death had become a thorn in the hearts of the Wang family, and the Second Military Academy had long been on the blacklist in the hearts of the Wang family.
"We just couldn't bear to see her efforts of so many years go to waste. Besides, if it weren't for that incident back then, maybe…"
"If everyone had an 'if,' everyone would have a bright future."
Xu Wensong's words were gentle from beginning to end, but his soft knife was fatal with every cut. His one sentence completely silenced the other party.
"If she were still alive, maybe her sister wouldn't be so tired…"
Xu Wensong sighed, looking at Wang Wenfei's face in the livestream, which was gradually becoming distorted because she was about to be unable to withstand the Zerg's attack. He still remembered the scene when the young Wang Wenfei was held in Marshal Wang's arms, recognizing the photos of the Wang family's ancestors who had died on the battlefield for generations.
The photo of the girl who had a five-point resemblance to her was the first from the end among the pile of photos she was about to recognize…
