Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 334 Don't Speak

"Commander-in-chief, the spread of the toxic miasma has been brought under control. The area affected by the miasma has been reduced by half. The biochemical department has also conducted tests and confirmed that the environment has been restored to safety," Lin Ye reported to Yang Lei.

"Commander-in-Chief, we are so fortunate to have Major General Ning with us this time. Major General Ning is very capable, and he single-handedly cleaned up the poisonous miasma pollution." Lin Ye said excitedly.

However, despite this good news, Yang Lei still frowned and did not show any relief.

"Ning Zhi's ability to solve the problem of the spread of poisonous miasma is indeed a great achievement. Unfortunately, we are in too much trouble this time. Even if we solve the problem of the spread of poisonous miasma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through this crisis," General Yang Lei said with concern.

“How could that be? Didn’t we send out a distress call a long time ago? The Black Mountain Plains region is flat, the underground environment is relatively stable, and this round of thunderstorms on the planet has basically ended. As long as we solve the problem of the spread of the poisonous miasma and build a temporary safe base, we should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive, no matter what,” Lin Ye said.

They had already discussed countermeasures against the invasion of extradimensional creatures brought about by the spatial rift. The biggest threat was the spread of poisonous miasma. Now that this threat has been eliminated, they should only need to proceed steadily and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After all, any spatial rift, wormhole, or similar situation falls under the category of interdimensional invasion. In such dangerous circumstances, one can request rescue from the military, which will mobilize the nearest troops to the accident site for rescue in the shortest possible time.

"There are no reinforcements. We have received a reply from the military headquarters that in just one day yesterday, 23 planets have developed spatial rifts, seven starfield battlefields have experienced wormhole crises, and an S-class wormhole has appeared over the Fifth Legion headquarters, which is the closest to us. All the troops that can be dispatched have been sent to the Fifth Legion headquarters. We will not receive any support here." General Yang Lei said with a haggard and disheartened expression.

"How could so many spatial anomalies suddenly erupt? This is too abnormal." Lin Ye looked at Yang Lei in disbelief.

Although Lin Ye didn't want to believe it, he knew that the commander-in-chief would never joke about such a thing. Thinking of this, Lin Ye's face turned ashen.

The danger level of space rifts can be divided into different levels, namely low risk, medium risk, high risk, and critical risk, based on indicators such as the duration of their existence, the degree of space collapse, the intensity of energy radiation, and the biological threat index.

The level of danger is usually tallied after the event ends. However, one can roughly estimate some basic information from the shape of the spatial rift and the strength of the otherworldly creatures that were transported out.

The spatial rift they encountered was incredibly powerful, and the otherworldly creature, the Poisonous Abyss Beast, that initially appeared was also at the S-rank level. All these factors indicated that the spatial rift was at least high-risk.

"The first creature to appear in this spatial rift was actually an S-class Poisonous Abyss Beast. According to my observation, the energy radiation released by the spatial rift is already polluting and changing the surrounding ecological environment. This situation poses an extremely high risk factor. However, under these circumstances, we have no reinforcements."

“Originally, in three months, our five-year term would have been up, and we could have taken a break and then been transferred to other war zones, but unfortunately…” Yang Lei’s eyes were filled with pessimism, and he was not optimistic about the current situation.

"Linye, I've only informed a few of you about the lack of reinforcements. We can't leak this information out, lest it affect morale," Yang Lei instructed Linye.

"On the contrary, we should spread the news that Ning Zhi has cleared away the poisonous miasma. In this way, we can promote Ning Zhi's military rank by one level, and after he has cleaned up the poisonous miasma, we can give him military power in two districts." After telling Lin Ye the actual situation, General Yang Lei quickly perked up.

After all, even without reinforcements, even if the situation is very unfavorable, as the base's commander-in-chief, he cannot wallow in self-pity and surrender without resistance.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. Even if we can only rely on ourselves, we may still have a chance to break out of this predicament. I think that Major General Ning's sudden emergence might be our opportunity to turn the tide," Lin Ye suddenly said. Yang Lei nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the oppression in his heart dissipated somewhat.

Ning Xuan meditated and cultivated in the tent assigned to her in the quarantine area. After about two hours, Ning Xuan's mental state and physical strength had recovered. She heard a fierce argument outside the tent.

"Our Major General is currently in seclusion, and no one is allowed to disturb him," Liu Linfeng said in an icy voice.

"I'm not going in. I'll just wait here," Yun Han replied calmly.

"No, this spot is too close. Move away." Liu Linfeng said sternly, urging him to leave.

Liu Linfeng had seen this man at the medical center of the underground base. At the time, two female doctors were fighting over him, but his general took him away.

"What's all the noise about? Lin Feng, let him in." Ning Xuan's voice came from inside the tent.

Liu Linye immediately agreed, and then, somewhat reluctantly, let Yun Han in.

As soon as Yun Han stepped into the tent, a fragrance wafted to his nose. Before he could even speak, his waist was suddenly tightened—Ning Xuan's vines coiled around him like a serpent, pulling him sharply towards her.

Yun Han stumbled into Ning Xuan's arms. "Master..." Before he could finish speaking, Ning Xuan leaned in, pinched his chin with one hand, and kissed him. Her lips were warm and soft, with a hint of rapid breathing.

Yun Han was stunned for a moment by her enthusiasm, then was overwhelmed by her almost aggressive passion, and even her breath was taken away by her.

Her vines remained tightly wrapped around his waist, with just the right amount of force—enough to prevent him from breaking free, yet not enough to cause him pain. Another slender vine quietly climbed up his wrist, gently gripping it, restricting and adjusting his movements.

Yun Han could feel her heartbeat; it was fast but strong, transmitted through her clothes, and had a powerful, infectious quality.

“Ning Xuan…” He tilted his head slightly, finally finding a chance to catch his breath, his voice low and hoarse.

But she didn't give him a chance to speak. She pressed her fingertips against his lips, her eyes gleaming: "Don't speak." Before she finished speaking, she kissed him again, more passionately than before, with an overbearing possessiveness.

Her vines tightened, completely trapping him beside her; her domain allowed neither refusal nor escape.

In reality, Yun Han was just worried that if Ning Xuan couldn't control her emotions, she might break through her disguise and release pheromones. If that happened, her female identity would be exposed.
