The evil female is delicate and weak, and the four beastly husbands take turns feeding her.

Chapter 199

Ye Xi'an was also very excited: "Let's go see our ice grass."

Ye Xi'an was in high spirits and took the lead in going upstairs.

Because the freezer was too big and there was no place to put it downstairs, Ye Xi'an built a partition in the middle of the attic, turning the attic into two rooms.

The outer room served as her room, while the inner room housed the freezer.

Not only that, Ye Xi'an also thickened the walls of the inner room with reinforced steel plates, so that if the Zerg attacked, they could hide inside for a longer period of time.

Lin Zhijing looked at the rows of freezers in the attic and was somewhat surprised: "You bought so many freezers?"

Ji Jiangci explained, "If this ice plant were sold, it would definitely fetch a high price, so we wanted to cultivate it on a large scale, and we bought several freezers."

"alright."

The moment Lin Zhijing stepped forward and opened the cabinet door, a white blast of cold air, almost enough to freeze a person, surged out, and thick frost condensed on the cabinet walls.

The bottom of the freezer was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ice plant grew comfortably on the ice, emitting a faint blue light in the white chill.

"Setting the temperature to minus fifty degrees should be enough."

Ji Jiangci glanced at the numbers on the control panel.

Lin Zhijing selected several ice plants with relatively thick roots and obvious nodes.

He took out a sharp scalpel that had been rigorously sterilized, and his movements were precise and steady.

"When dividing the plant, make sure the cut is smooth and minimize damage to the plant."

His voice sounded exceptionally clear in the chilly storage room.

"Furthermore, each segment should retain at least one or two potential buds."

Ye Xi'an and Yi Yang watched intently, afraid of missing any detail.

The scalpel seemed to come alive in Lin Zhijing's hands, deftly slicing through the roots of the ice plant.

Soon, several ice plants were successfully divided into more than a dozen small pieces with buds.

These small pieces were also placed in petri dishes lined with ice soil, with enough space between them for growth.

"Alright, now all we have to do is wait."

Lin Zhijing straightened up and gently exhaled a breath of white air.

"Hopefully they can adapt to the environment here."

Ye Xi'an clasped his hands together and prayed softly.

"It will definitely succeed!" If it succeeds, the family will have another trump card.

Yi Yang was full of confidence, as if he could already see countless ice plants growing vigorously.

"Let's check on them again in a few days. If these tubers can grow, then we can harvest the mature ice plant and use it!"

Ye Xi'an turned around, her face flushed with excitement.

The cold air seemed less unbearable because of this anticipation.

During this time, Ye Xi'an had been taking Lin Zhijing and the others to the training hall. Because of the Zerg, the training hall was almost always full. Ye Xi'an even ran into Qiu Yi several times.

Ye Xi'an had just run ten kilometers, his body radiating heat, and casually sat down beside the track: "When do you think the Zerg will invade next?"

Ji Jiangci picked up a clean handkerchief from the chair and carefully wiped the sweat from Ye Xi'an's forehead.

After Ye Xi'an's hard work during this period, Ji Jiangci's appearance has recovered a lot, and he looks like a refined gentleman in his thirties.

"Don't worry too much."

Ji Jiangci's voice was gentle, trying to soothe the agitation between Ye Xi'an's brows.

"After the last Zerg invasion, the Federation has already begun preparations."

"The upgrades to the defense system and the recruitment of new soldiers are being carried out on an unprecedented scale, with many males from the Free Zone and the slums joining the army."

Ye Xi'an lowered her eyelids slightly.

The sounds of other orcs training on the track mingled with the clatter of equipment.

The air was thick with the unique smell of sweat mixed with metal. She could feel an invisible pressure quietly building up. Last time, even a small insect swarm had utterly routed her clan. Could they really withstand a real insect invasion?

She desperately wants to become stronger. Now that she's finally able to be human again, how could she bear to die so easily?

Yi Yang moved closer, his big dog-like eyes full of concern.

"Don't be afraid, my wife, I will protect you."

His voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm.

Lin Zhijing stood to the side, a barely perceptible sharpness flashing in his gray eyes.

He wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, his movements refined, a stark contrast to his usual focused demeanor when handling experimental equipment.

"Simply upgrading defenses is probably not enough."

His voice was clear and cold, like an icy spring.

"The Zerg have clearly made ample preparations this time. They must have reproduced quite a bit over the years. Even small swarms are this large. I wonder how many worm-like and arthropod Zerg there are."

Just then, the huge light screen hanging in the training hall began to flash.

The screen that was playing the training tutorial was replaced by an emergency news briefing.

A clear, feminine voice echoed throughout the venue.

"Federal Emergency Notice"

"Effective immediately, all protective nodes in the third ring of the main planet are placed on high alert."

"All reserve corps shall return to their posts immediately and participate in intensive training."

"The new anti-Zerg weapon has entered the final testing phase and will soon be deployed to front-line troops."

A series of blurry images of weapons and equipment flashed rapidly across the screen.

The menacing muzzle of the cannon.

Various firearms inlaid with energy ores.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The training hall fell silent instantly, with only the news anchor's cold, hard voice remaining.

Ye Xi'an's heart skipped a beat.

She clenched her hands, which were hanging at her sides.

My fingertips felt a little cold, a stark contrast to the heat I felt after running ten kilometers.

Ji Jiangci gently took her hand.

His palms were warm and dry, conveying a silent comfort.

"It seems that a great battle is really not far away."

He spoke softly, his gaze fixed on the distance, a hint of worry in his eyes.

The news briefing continued to be broadcast.

"...The latest federal exploration report indicates that the temperature in the 'Extreme Cold Realm' is rising, the ice and snow are melting, a vaccine has been developed for the deadly virus, it has extremely high habitability value, and the Zerg cannot travel to this place by space."

"The Federation will immediately dispatch the first scientific expedition fleet to conduct in-depth development and build outpost bases in the 'Extreme Cold Realm'."

"The coldest place".

Lin Zhijing repeated in a low voice, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Xi'an suddenly raised his head, a flash of understanding appearing in his purple eyes.

"If the Federation really succeeds in developing the extreme cold region," Ye Xi'an said with some excitement, "then will we never be threatened by the Zerg again?"

Yi Yang blinked, clearly not having fully processed the sudden information.

Lin Zhijing had already brought up the miniature screen on his personal terminal.

His fingers flew across the screen, searching for all publicly available information related to the "Extreme Cold Realm".
