O, the popular girl, loves to act like a spoiled child. She is afraid of insects and cold and wants

Su Tang gently stroked the spiritual thread that was wrapped around his wrist, which was as excited as he was.

Although the speed of running and dodging slowed down visibly, he managed to safely resolve the sudden attacks of the SS-level mutant red willow every time.

After a while, Wen Jinshu discovered that Su Tang's movements followed a certain pattern and she was not avoiding him randomly.

Wen Jinshu opened his mouth wide, his deep fox eyes revealing surprise and admiration.

"You haven't noticed it for a long time."

Bai Xu hummed lightly.

"No wonder you are so patient." Wen Jinshu touched his chin, a little curious, "It's a good idea, but are you sure that little sweetheart can hold up physically?"

Bai Xu pursed his lips. Xiao Xiongzi had a kind of tenacity like wild grass, which was probably related to his previous living environment.

"can."

There was a mixture of heartache and pride in Bai Xu's eyes, and he answered with great confidence.

As if unwilling to let him down, the fallen Su Tang climbed up from the sand again, like a fish swimming among the criss-crossing roots.

I don't know how long it took, but with a loud bang, the huge monster suddenly collapsed, and its most powerful roots were tangled into a knot. The plump SS-level mutant red willow turned into a more round ball, revealing its most fragile branches.

Su Tang collapsed on the ground, feeling like she was being roasted. The hot sweat flowed into her eyes, stinging her eyes. It was as if sand was rubbing against her throat. She issued an order, "Salamander, go."

Salamander, who was named, staggered to his feet, concentrated his mental power on the sharp blade in his palm, and swung it hard at the SS-level mutant red willow that was wrapped into a ball with all his strength.

The sword was as powerful as a rock, causing waves of sand.

Su Tang closed his eyes subconsciously. There seemed to be a thunder explosion in his ears, with a buzzing roar. The sand pile under him trembled three times, burying half of his body.

My vision became blurry and dark, and suddenly a rustling sound came from beside me.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

After asking the question, Salamander grinned. It was unclear whether he was laughing at his hoarse voice or because he asked a nonsense question.

The dripping blood gathered into a stream, dyeing the yellow sand underfoot a dark color. The high temperature evaporated it into a light red blood mist, which enveloped Salamander.

Su Tang raised her eyelids with difficulty and looked over. She could barely make out a vague outline and hummed hoarsely as a response.

Salamander dug the person out of the sand and looked at Su Tang without any complicated eyes.

He also did not expect that the other party would trust him so much, buy him time to rest and recover, lead the SS mutant red willow away alone, and be able to hold on for so long.

He also didn't expect that at the last moment he would choose to use his mental power to protect the other person instead of himself.

But it doesn’t seem so bad.

Salamander lay down on the spot exhausted, his combat exoskeleton almost turned dark red by the blood.

Su Tang felt her palm sink, and when she looked again, there was no sign of anyone in front of her.

Not far away, the huge monster turned into dust, and the crystal core in Su Tang's hand flashed with a clear luster.

[Beep, checking for changes in favorability, protagonist Salamander's favorability +5, current favorability 82. ]

[Beep, main mission one - Become an excellent male, progress +2.0%, current progress 85.5%]

Su Tang had just opened her eyes from the holographic projection when the system prompt sound came one after another.

Su Tang, feeling hollowed out, leaned back and slumped lazily on the back of the chair. The tip of her nose suddenly moved, and her gaze turned to Wen Jinshu, "My dear wife has been here."

It was originally a question, but he said it with certainty.

There were only Wen Jinshu and Su Tang in the laboratory, and the other insects were in the training classroom, so he didn't deliberately restrain himself.

Wen Jinshu, who was being stared at, couldn't pretend not to hear anything. His cunning fox eyes narrowed, as if he was struggling over whether to betray Big Ice or deceive his little sweetheart.

Soon, under Su Tang's smiling gaze, he chose the former without hesitation.

The reason is simple. If he offends Big Ice Cube, Big Ice Cube may not care, but if he makes Little Sweetheart unhappy, he may face a double-sided attack.

Wen Jinshu, who had figured it out, answered positively, "Yes, I came here, but he didn't let me tell you. But what is our relationship? How could my brother lie to you?"

"I'm going to make you a nutritious meal."

If Wen Jinshu hadn't said anything, it would have been fine, but once he said it, everything was revealed.

Su Tang raised the corners of his lips, and the joy in his eyes was almost overflowing. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he asked in a guilty voice, "My dear wife, are you unhappy?"

Wen Jinshu thought about it and hissed softly, "Maybe I feel a little distressed."

With his little sweetheart to coax him, Big Ice Cube would definitely not care about what he "accidentally" let slip. Wen Jinshu praised himself for his cleverness.

After drinking the nutrient supplement and resting for half an hour, they reviewed their experiences over the live broadcast.

Su Tang noticed that at the moment when the SS-level mutant red willow was split, Salamander threw a mental shield towards where he was lying, and he himself was blown away by the residual power of the mutant red willow and instantly turned into a bloodworm.

Given the two extreme choices, the other party chose to let him survive to the end.

Su Tang, who thought she had missed nothing, was silent for a moment.

Time waits for no one, Su Tang and his team once again chose the SS-level mutant red willow simulation training ground.

Surrounding and killing the SS-level mutant red willow is not their only purpose. What is more important is cooperation and training their ability to withstand pressure and poison.

The SS-level mutant red willow, which was enraged right away, released pollen to attack.

This time the lead singer was changed to Song Xingcheng.

"The big river flows eastwards, the stars in the sky are the Big Dipper, ah, hey, hey, hey, the Big Dipper..."

I don’t know if I was led astray by him, but when the ups and downs and twists and turns of “Hero’s Song” echoed in the vast desert again, Su Tang suddenly felt a little guilty.

When Su Tang met Song Xingcheng's sparkling eyes, she gave him a thumbs up without saying a word. How could she let the little cutie down?

As expected of a top student, he can remember such complex and rugged tunes clearly, showing that he has learned the real skills from him.

The awakened female soldiers joined the battle again. Five minutes later, they were collectively ejected from the holographic projection and lasted three minutes longer than the last time.

Even though their physical and mental strength were being depleted, their eyes were brighter than ever before.

Fail once, fail twice… fail ten times.

Although the results were all failures, they were getting closer and closer to success and were persisting longer and longer.

After countless failures, they finally managed to defeat the SS-level mutant Red Willow before sunset.

"Fuck, we won. We actually defeated the SS-level guy."

"Awesome! The Seventh Legion is awesome."

"Meng Yi is awesome, Salamander is awesome, Song Xingcheng is awesome, Qu Ziyi is awesome..."

Their names were read out over and over again in different tones, without stopping.

The joy of victory filled the voice connection.

Salamander, who always liked to do things alone, was also infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help laughing, with the smile deep in his eyes.

Qu Ziyi was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that he, who acted as a shadow, would be remembered one day. A sudden pat on the shoulder brought him back to his senses. Seeing Salamander's heartfelt joy, he curled the corners of his lips as well.

Song Xingcheng clenched the small notebook in his hand, smiled reservedly and shyly, his bright eyes filled with stars, which invisibly dispelled his uneasiness and restraint.

In the swarm of insects, someone asked Su Tang about her experience in breaking through the illusion.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish

Su Tang said generously, "Perhaps everyone can try to break the illusion by themselves. Once the peacekeeping point is found, the illusion will break by itself."

"Take it step by step. It doesn't matter if you can't do it now."

The gentle words were like a reassurance, infusing them with infinite courage.

Salamander, Brother No Shoes, and all the female soldiers who defeated their inner demons on their own also stood up and shared their experiences.

In fact, these are simple to say, but it takes time to overcome nightmares. You can learn from the experience of other insects, but you still need to rely on yourself to resolve it.

Su Tang gave them choices and was willing to protect them.

The female soldiers who have been to the battlefield and survived are naturally not the strong and reckless men.

After calming down, they quickly realized that when they went to the battlefield and Xiongzi was not around, they would ultimately have to rely on themselves.

After the female soldiers had rested, they all returned to the simulated training ground.

The training continued until the evening. The vibration on his wrist caught Su Tang's attention and also aroused his rumbling stomach.

As if sensing his call, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened.
