Chapter 83: Welcome Home
Chapter 83: Welcome Home
Two hours later, Su Yu awoke from a state of confusion.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he felt intense pain in his right side and back. Accompanying the pain was a severe itching, a sensation that penetrated to the bone, causing him to groan involuntarily.
"What happened? Why do I feel like I just went through a terrible nightmare?" Su Yu's mind was a blank slate.
After about seven or eight seconds, his memories slowly returned, and he recalled the events on Skrul Planet, including the "Disintegration Beam" that nearly took his life.
Thinking back to the Disintegration Beam, a wave of fear washed over him, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of his chest.
Fortunately, Chenxing reacted quickly and blocked the beam for him. Otherwise, with the beam's speed, he might have been killed on the spot before he could even activate his survival skill!
"I was too careless!" Su Yu forced himself to sit up, shaking his head bitterly.
He had thought that with no seventh-rank beings present in Trina City, he could wreak havoc and at least eliminate those war profiteers. He hadn't expected Trina City to have such a hidden ace up its sleeve.
Thankfully, Chenxing! Thank you, my loyal and capable kitty!
Chenxing would need at least six days to return to the real world after being killed in the game.
Su Yu made a silent vow to be even better to Chenxing in the future. After all, she had saved his life!
Xue Wenli, noticing the commotion in the basement, hurried to the window to check.
Seeing Su Yu sitting up, she excitedly called out to Zhong Feng and Zhang, who were nearby, "Quick, come and see! Su Yu is awake! He's finally awake!"
Earlier, Xue Wenli had been forcibly carried into the room by Donna to be used as a pillow. However, it was purely for comfort, as two females couldn't do much together.
Donna had quickly fallen asleep after hugging Xue Wenli, who, despite her rapid heartbeat—this was her first time sharing a bed with anyone other than her mother since she was four—couldn't fall asleep. She could only lie there wide-eyed.
An hour later, Donna rolled over in her sleep, and Xue Wenli finally managed to escape, dashing downstairs.
When she arrived at the basement, Zhang and Zhong Feng were already there.
At the time, Su Yu was still unconscious, so they dared not approach and could only wait. Now that Su Yu was awake, they were relieved.
Hearing Xue Wenli's voice, Su Yu looked around and realized he had safely returned to Earth. He let out a long sigh of relief.
His right arm, right leg, and part of his back had been reduced to particles by the Disintegration Beam, the flesh and muscle a bloody mess.
But now, it seemed he had received some kind of treatment, and the lost parts and muscles had regrown, causing the intense itching.
Su Yu raised his right arm to look at his hand. The skin on his right hand was newly grown, as smooth and tender as a baby's.
There was no doubt that Donna had healed him. He would have to thank her properly later.
At that moment, Zhang, Xue Wenli, and Zhong Feng entered the basement and stood before him.
Zhang extended his hand to Su Yu, smiling warmly, "Su Yu, welcome home! On behalf of the Earth United Government and all the people of Earth, I offer you our heartfelt gratitude!"
During Su Yu's absence, the leaders of Earth's major nations had convened and, with a unanimous 200 votes in favor and 0 against, formed the Earth United Government.
Although Su Yu didn't know about the formation of the United Government, he could guess as much.
He was still badly injured and couldn't stand, so he could only nod at Zhang, "I'm back."
"Indeed." Zhang gently patted his shoulder, "Su Yu, regardless of the outcome of your mission, your bravery in venturing into the enemy's stronghold alone is more than enough to earn you a First-Class Merit!"
Zhang looked at Su Yu with the eyes of a hero.
Su Yu was different from Zhu Guorui and Cao Chengxiang.
Old Zhu and Cao Chengxiang had primarily gone to Skrul Planet to enhance their own strength, driven by personal ambition.
Su Yu, on the other hand, had gone purely for the sake of Earth, for humanity, and to ensure a future victory against the Skruls.
How could such a hero not be respected?
"Thank you," Su Yu said with a faint smile, "But the First-Class Merit is unnecessary. I'm not interested in accolades."
Before Zhang could respond, Zhong Feng stepped forward, "No, you deserve this credit! Not just you, but all of Earth's people need a role model, and you are the only one who can be that role model!"
Zhong Feng looked at Su Yu, his eyes slightly moist. The boy had finally returned!
Su Yu had been gone for ten days, and during that time, he hadn't logged into the game.
His sudden disappearance had caused a huge stir both in the Chinese server and worldwide.
People were asking the government, "Where is the Counterstar? What happened to our top player?"
The government, of course, had to remain silent, as the mission Su Yu and his team had undertaken was top secret.
Even at the Earth United Government conference, some world leaders had come to inquire about Su Yu.
As the spatial tunnel began to close, Zhong Feng had feared Su Yu wouldn't return. But at the last moment, he did! This boy was truly a handful!
Xue Wenli walked over to Su Yu, her eyes filled with concern, "Su Yu, how are your injuries? I saw you bleeding a lot earlier."
Su Yu, seeing Xue Wenli, quietly took out a set of clothes from his necklace and put them on.
His clothes had been completely torn during his transformation into a blue dragon, and now was the perfect time to change.
"My injuries are almost healed. I should be fine after a few more days of rest," Su Yu said as he dressed. "By the way, was it Donna who healed me?"
"Of course," Xue Wenli smoothed her hair, smiling. "Who else could have healed you here?"
"I need to thank her personally." Su Yu's gaze shifted to Donna's bedroom upstairs.
"Wait a bit. She's still sleeping. She doesn't like to be disturbed when she's asleep."
"Okay." Su Yu nodded.
