Chapter 166: Critical Situation

Qin An unconditionally followed Yun Han's orders. After the batch of potions was refined, they were all pre-installed. Yun Han personally injected Qin An with the potions. After only a minute, Qin An excitedly told Yun Han, "Commander, this medicine is much more effective than the inhibitors we used before. The contamination in my body that caused the sudden increase in Alienation Value has been completely eliminated, and even the Alienation Value that had been slowly accumulating over the years is showing a downward trend."

"You and Qiao Yu arrange for people to inject these medicines to the soldiers." Yun Han stood in place, looking into the distance. He was in a complicated mood at the moment. He didn't expect that he owed Ning Xuan another favor before he could repay her for saving his life.

If Ning Xuan had not given this batch of medicines, the Tianwei Legion would have suffered heavy losses, and even Qin An might have been killed.

About two-thirds of the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield showed signs of mental agitation and a sudden increase in their alienation values. More than 2 people had been killed after becoming completely alienated and out of control. Qin An and Qiao Yu acted quickly. About half an hour later, all those with abnormal mental strength and alienation values were injected with drugs.

The originally gloomy atmosphere in the base was reversed almost instantly. Yun Han's return changed the morale of the entire legion.

At the same time, Qiao Yu had arranged the deployment of the medical team. The soldiers who temporarily served as medical staff began to test the alienation values of the soldiers who had been injected with the medicine. The alienation values of most soldiers had returned to normal, and only a few soldiers with serious infections had higher values. However, judging from their condition, their body functions had basically returned to normal.

Yun Han returned to his familiar territory and, accompanied by Qin An and others, walked into his headquarters. After scanning Yun Han's facial features, the door of the headquarters automatically slid open with a slight electronic "ding" sound, as if welcoming his return.

The interior was softly lit, and the walls were adorned with smart displays, currently off. A suspended holographic projection screen hung in front of the headquarters, casting a faint blue glow. In the center sat a massive table, its top made of transparent, high-strength glass, embedded beneath a multi-layered holographic projection system. With a simple touch, a three-dimensional image emerged from the tabletop, showcasing the constellations, terrain, real-time monitoring, and weather conditions within the thousands of kilometers surrounding the base.

The edge of the table was inlaid with a shimmering control panel, covered in a complex array of buttons and touch screens, each representing a different tactical command or data retrieval function. Every detail embodied the perfect combination of technology and efficiency, highlighting the strength of the Tianwei Legion as a first-class elite legion.

Yun Han sat down on the seat in the middle covered with soft black leather. Qin An and others saluted him and sat on both sides.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past two years." Yun Han sighed as he looked at Qin An and others.

"Master Yun, as long as you can come back, this little bit of hardship is nothing. It's a pity that we are so useless." Qiao Yu looked at the black collar faintly visible under Yun Han's neck, his voice choked with sobs.

He had seen many colleagues, comrades-in-arms, and subordinates wearing contractor necklaces, and he was used to it. However, seeing the necklace on Yun Han's neck made him feel very uncomfortable.

Qin An, like Qiao Yu, had red eyes. "If it weren't for protecting us, the commander wouldn't have fallen into that danger."

Yun Han frowned, "Okay, why are you two crying like crazy? Qin An, report the initial process of this wormhole outbreak and the support from all parties." Yun Han sat in the command chair, glanced at everyone, and gave a light order.

"Yes." Qin An adjusted his mood and began to report the situation.

Qin An had reviewed the support situation before returning to the base. Now he combined the official information received after the wormhole outbreak with the information they had obtained privately and reported it to Yun Han.

Yun Han listened to Qin An's report with a solemn expression. He stood up and walked to the holographic projection in the center of the command room. With a flick of his finger, the holographic projection screen lit up, revealing the three star regions where the wormhole had erupted.

Yun Han searched on his computer and displayed several images on the table in front of everyone. "From the pictures, it seems that the creatures invading the black hole have various forms, and they are surrounded by black mist. Judging from the results of the battle, this black mist will pollute the spiritual sea of the spirit controller, causing abnormalities in the spirit controller's mental power and alienation value."

Yun Han concluded.

At the same time, on the holographic projection screen, the invasion path of the black fog creatures, the scope of infection, and the post-war pollution of the spirit controller's spiritual sea were all clearly marked.

Although this was just a rough data model based on the data released by the military, everyone in the command room felt a chill in their hearts as they watched the explosive growth in the number of infected people.

Qiao Yu clenched his fists, his voice trembling a little: "Marshal Yun, Qin Chuan and Yan Pengyuan are still on the battlefield over there. It has been more than 24 hours. They should have withdrawn to rest three hours ago, but the battlefield command center used the excuse that the replacement troops had not arrived and refused to let them withdraw. More than two hours ago, I communicated with the command center as the temporary decision-maker of the Tianwei Legion, asking them when the replacement troops would arrive. They only said that it would be soon, but did not explain the specific time. Marshal Yun, judging from Qin An's experience, I'm afraid that if Qin Chuan and the others hold on any longer, few of them will be able to come back." Qiao Yu was a little unable to continue. If Marshal Yun had come any later, Qin An's situation would have been very dangerous, and the garrison would have probably fallen.

Yun Han's face was heavy. He knew that Qiao Yu's words were not alarmist. He had just used his personal account to apply to the military to unseal his personal file. He was the commander-in-chief of the Tianwei Legion, but he was originally in a temporary position because he could not perform his duties due to personal reasons. However, now that he was back at the base, he only needed to apply to the military to unseal his personal file to resume his position.

Only when he resumes his position can he communicate with the control center there with justification.

Yun Han opened his personal mailbox and found that the military was very efficient and had replied to him. The military found out that Yun Han was Ning Xuan's indentured slave and required Yun Han to obtain Ning Xuan's consent before unsealing his file.

Yun Han's fiery heart was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water. He was nervous because of the severe situation on the battlefield. For a moment, he forgot that it was Ning Xuan's special favor that he came to the base in person. Now, how dare he go further and ask Ning Xuan to agree to unseal his file?
