I Worry About You... Getting Fat Like a Ball (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Chapter 26: I'm Afraid You'll Get Fat Like a Ball (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Xu Tui ultimately caught and embraced An Xiaoxue.

He couldn't just watch the unconscious An Xiaoxue fall.

If he hadn't caught her, and she had fallen face-first, there were quite a few sharp rocks on the ground.

She felt a little soft, a little fragrant.

This was the third woman Xu Tui had held in his life.

The first was his mother.

The second, according to Xu Tui's dad, was when Xu Tui was in first grade and tackled a female classmate who had stolen his eraser, sending her face-first into the dirt.

An Xiaoxue was the third.

However, at this moment, Xu Tui had no impure thoughts whatsoever.

Over there, the military security forces had already begun setting up a temporary shelter camp and new defensive lines, in case the traitorous organization decided to make a comeback.

Though the probability was low.

"Come on, you carry Cheng Mo, we'll go over there," Xu Tui said, pointing to another ordinary male classmate they had partnered with, whose name he hadn't remembered.

Although they had been introduced during dinner in the car earlier, too many people had introduced themselves, and Xu Tui hadn't remembered.

Ordinary meant not handsome.

Not like Xu Tui, who was distinctive—handsome!

Xu Tui carried An Xiaoxue, the not-so-handsome guy carried Cheng Mo, and Gong Ling weakly supported Xu Tui's arm. The group stumbled their way to the rapidly forming shelter camp.

He took off his jacket, spread it on the ground, and then laid An Xiaoxue down flat.

"Gong Ling, please look after Teacher An."

"Hei Zi, wait here, I'll go find a doctor."

Cheng Mo said he was fine himself, but every time he coughed, blood would emerge from his mouth, and Xu Tui was very worried.

Not far away, Colonel Liu Tianhu, leaning on his rifle, looked at the still-living traitor Cha Yifeng with extreme anger and a hint of self-reproach.

"It was my fault. I should have insisted on investigating Cha Yifeng then," the intelligence staff officer said with deep shame.

Liu Tianhu slowly shook his head, "You're not wrong, you fulfilled your duty. This Cha Yifeng was indeed clean, and he even retired from the extraterrestrial battlefield. He was one of our own. The mistake was mine."

"Excuse me, is there a military doctor?"

Xu Tui's voice rang out. At this moment, the highest-ranking officer would be the most appropriate person to ask for a doctor.

Xu Tui didn't know Liu Tianhu.

Liu Tianhu didn't know Xu Tui either, but he knew Xu Tui's name.

"Yes, they should be giving emergency treatment to others right now. If your situation is critical, you can ask the military doctor to prioritize it," Liu Tianhu replied slowly.

"He's the student who discovered Cha Yifeng had a problem." The intelligence staff officer had seen the surveillance footage and recognized Xu Tui.

Liu Tianhu's body trembled slightly. He looked at Xu Tui again, "You discovered it? What's your name?"

"Xu Tui."

Liu Tianhu's expression froze. That student?

Xu Tui glanced at Liu Tianhu. This must be the highest commander. Judging by his words, he had received his intelligence but hadn't acted on it.

If this highest commander had taken it seriously at the time, the situation before them might have been completely different.

To some extent, from Xu Tui's perspective, the casualties here were caused by the person he was now looking up at.

So, he didn't curse him out.

"My teacher, An Xiaoxue, fainted after her outburst just now. I don't know what happened to her. Is she in danger?" Xu Tui asked.

Liu Tianhu naturally sensed the anger in Xu Tui's tone and understood its source.

But in this world, there weren't so many "if onlys."

There weren't so many unforeseen circumstances.

No one expected that the traitor Cha Yifeng had hidden so deeply, passed through Jincheng Prefecture's numerous checks, and was even assigned to the most important third car.

But then again, isn't a traitor supposed to be hidden in an unexpected way?

"Professor An?"

"She probably fainted from excessive mental energy consumption just now. Get him a D-grade amine stimulant."

A nearby guard immediately took a syringe from a seemingly extremely sturdy bag and handed it to Xu Tui.

"Intramuscular injection takes effect in five minutes. You should wake up about fifteen minutes after it takes effect.

Intravenous injection takes effect in thirty seconds, but you might feel a bit uncomfortable, like a headache or something.

Intramuscular injection is recommended," the guard said conscientiously.

Xu Tui took the injection, said thank you, and turned to leave. He suddenly looked back and asked, "Are there any side effects?"

"Will it harm Professor An's body?

Are there any after-effects?"

The guard's face instantly darkened. Who would ask a question like that, making him sound like he was trying to harm someone?

"There are no after-effects, it won't harm the body, just minor side effects that will disappear within half a day," Liu Tianhu said.

"Oh."

Xu Tui turned to leave.

"Sorry, I apologize. I didn't take your intel seriously." Behind him, Liu Tianhu's voice suddenly called out.

Xu Tui stopped in his tracks but didn't reply. He raised his hand and pointed to the nearby area.

There were classmates groaning in pain from their injuries!

There were soldiers who were injured or even disabled!

And there were several corpses that had already gone cold!

Finally, Xu Tui's finger and gaze landed on the headless corpse of the uniformed security brother from their car number three. His finger trembled.

Instantly, Liu Tianhu's face turned ashen, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

He understood Xu Tui's meaning.

"How old was this security brother?" Xu Tui suddenly asked, his voice trembling.

Liu Tianhu's expression instantly became desolate.

The intelligence staff officer was speechless.

Only the guard suddenly realized and said, "He was only 21 years old."

His heart gave a sharp tug, and Xu Tui strode towards the temporary shelter base.

Tears that had been welling up in his eyes for a long time finally spilled out in large drops.

Hot.

Soon, the D-grade amine stimulant was injected intramuscularly into An Xiaoxue.

As for the injection site, Xu Tui correctly chose the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, which was of medium difficulty.

As for the options of gluteal muscles or the outer thigh muscles (vastus lateralis), Xu Tui directly ignored them.

The injection difficulty was medium-low, and the side effects it would bring to Xu Tui could be nightmarish!

Xu Tui's desire to survive was still quite strong.

The strength An Xiaoxue displayed while unconscious made Xu Tui feel that he had to play it safe, to play it extremely safe, in front of her.

The military doctor also came to examine Cheng Mo's injuries. Fortunately, they weren't too severe.

Three ribs were broken, but the angle was small, and they didn't pierce any organs. His left radius was fractured, and he had contusions in his chest and abdomen.

With the current medical standards, Cheng Mo would likely need a month to recover completely.

This was another trouble for Cheng Mo.

The three months after injecting the Gene Liberation Potion were a period of rapid improvement for everyone. If Cheng Mo had to rest for a month, he would fall significantly behind.

"It's fine, didn't I mainly activate the gene points in my stomach? Resting for a month won't affect my eating," Cheng Mo said nonchalantly.

Xu Tui was furious and backhanded him with a rap on the head.

"I'm worried you won't be able to move for a month and will get fat as a ball!"

Cheng Mo's mouth twitched.

The soldiers and some of the accompanying teachers paused their busy work. The search and rescue operation was basically over. A large fire was lit at the temporary shelter base, and portable infrasound generators began to operate, driving away mosquitoes and insects in the mountains.

Two students died.

Eleven were severely injured.

More than half of the lightly injured had sustained minor injuries.

Two accompanying teachers were severely injured, and everyone else had some injuries.

Seven security soldiers sacrificed their lives, and fifteen were severely injured.

The spoils of war were reportedly significant as well.

Forty-six members of the traitorous organization were killed, and five were captured, all of whom were Gene Liberators, mostly E-grade and D-grade, including seven C-grade Gene Liberators!

One B-grade Gene Liberator was killed, the cyborg Ahu.

Three E-grade Gene Evolvers were killed.

One seasoned spy was captured.

Currently, the results of the pursuit by the emergency fighter jet squadron were not yet out.

But based on these results alone, the spoils of war were considerable.

However, no matter how great the spoils of war, they seemed insignificant in the face of these casualties and sacrifices.

In Xu Tui's mind, he would rather have no spoils of war than any casualties.

The atmosphere at the temporary shelter base was gloomy and oppressive.

However, the reinforcement convoy that rushed over in less than half an hour finally brought a sense of security to the tense and fearful students.

Seeing the lights stretching into a long dragon appear in the distance, many students cried on the spot.

An Xiaoxue also woke up at this time.

The first thing she saw upon waking was her sleeve rolled up to her shoulder. She frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at Xu Tui.

She still had some consciousness before she fainted.

The last thing she saw was Xu Tui reaching out to hold her.

Then this sleeve...

Xu Tui, whose survival instinct was very strong, quickly handed over the syringe. "It's a D-grade amine stimulant. I injected it."

An Xiaoxue nodded.

Xu Tui passed the test.

Suddenly, An Xiaoxue, who had just sat up, spoke with a cold voice and looked at Xu Tui, "There's still blood on my face and neck. Did you clean it?"

The gaze made Xu Tui tremble. The astonishing sight of An Xiaoxue, like a goddess or a demon, suddenly appeared in Xu Tui's mind.

"Teacher An, I cleaned it for you," Gong Ling's sweet voice rang out, making Xu Tui sigh with relief again.

Fortunately, he had been wise enough before.

"What's the situation now?" An Xiaoxue asked.

Xu Tui roughly told An Xiaoxue what he understood.

The casualties made An Xiaoxue's expression heavy, but it was clear that An Xiaoxue had experienced much more than Xu Tui.

"What about that mole, Cha Yifeng? How is he now? Is he still alive?" An Xiaoxue suddenly asked.

"He's still alive," Xu Tui said.

"Let's go, help me go see him," An Xiaoxue said.

"Why go see a mole?" Xu Tui was stunned.

"To see how they're dealing with him and if there are any new discoveries."

Xu Tui nodded and hurried to help An Xiaoxue, but An Xiaoxue pushed him away with a look of disgust.

"Did I ask you to help me?"

Xu Tui froze on the spot, his mind unable to comprehend. Didn't An Xiaoxue just say she wanted help?

"Xu Tui, you're overthinking it. Teacher An meant for me to help her," Gong Ling said with a sweet smile and walked towards An Xiaoxue.

Xu Tui looked dejected.

He had just hugged her, and now she was disgusted with him.
