Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 329 Space Crack
Ning Xuan's team is still holding their ground. Meanwhile, at the underground base, General Yang Lei, the base's commander-in-chief, is holding a meeting, mainly to discuss whether to mobilize the soldiers who have just withdrawn from other battlefields to support the Ninth Mining Area, which is still holding its ground.

"General, I believe that the Ninth Mining Area does not need support. If they cannot hold out, they will definitely retreat underground." There is a rule in the base that in any battle, if the number of casualties exceeds 30%, the battle can be ended and the troops can return to the underground base.

Most of the officers present believed that Ning Xuan's team wouldn't last much longer. Since they could withdraw at any time, why go and support them?
“That’s right. Even if they still have the strength to continue, the resources that each mining area can produce are limited. Even if we go, we can’t increase production, so I don’t think it’s necessary.” Another officer also disagreed with providing support.

Just as they were holding a mobilization meeting, a loud "boom" shook the underground base violently again. During this violent shaking, the wiring seemed to be damaged, and the lights in the conference room went out. "What's going on? Didn't the Thunder Beast already enter the planet? Why is there still such violent thunder?" General Yang asked in a panic.

The emergency lights in the conference room suddenly turned on, and a blinding red light and a sharp alarm sounded at the same time.

General Yang grabbed the violently shaking holographic projection table and quickly tapped a few keys on the projection keyboard.

No one answered General Yang's question. At that moment, the base's AI defense system suddenly switched to all communication channels: [Warning: Severe abnormal energy fluctuations detected in near-Earth orbit. The space security index is about to exceed the threshold.]

The mining map on the holographic screen instantly switched to a space monitoring view—the sky above this S-class resource planet was torn open by some invisible force, and against the dark background of the universe, a purplish-red crack meandered and expanded like a blood vessel.

General Yang's pupils contracted sharply as he watched the monitoring data fluctuate wildly: "This isn't a violent thunderclap, it's a spatial rift..."

"This is impossible!" The technical director in charge of space environment security, who had been sitting quietly in the corner as a background figure, completely lost his composure after hearing the alarm from the defense system.

"To tear apart the space of our sector, it would take at least... Ah..." The technical director lost his balance and fell due to the violent shaking of the ground.

"Warning, warning! The space security index threshold has been exceeded. A space rift has been detected in the star sector. The underground security base will be shut down in all functional areas. All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately."

"The underground security base will soon close all functional areas. At that time, water and electricity will be cut off, oxygen supply will be stopped, all rest cabins will be folded up to reduce pressure, and all intelligent equipment will be put into hibernation and stopped from use."

"All personnel are requested to leave the underground security base immediately. Functional area closure countdown: 100, 99..." The intelligent defense system displayed the countdown.

"Gentlemen, those in this conference room today are all mid- to high-ranking officers of the base. You must not panic. What you need to do now is to immediately organize the evacuation of all personnel from the underground safe base. Time is of the essence, and the task is arduous. Everyone, get moving!" General Yang's heart was also heavy. He knew that it was impossible to evacuate everyone in such a short time. Moreover, even if everyone was evacuated, they might not have a chance of survival in the face of the spatial rifts and extreme weather outside, as well as the extremely lethal Thunder Beasts that roamed everywhere.

Yun Han evacuated with the medical center staff. As soon as he arrived on the ground, he saw a purplish-red crack in space expanding little by little in front of everyone. What was even more terrifying was that the monitoring system could detect countless heat sources surging at the crack, densely packed and looking extremely eerie.

"General, is it too late for us to request reinforcements? We need to report to the military headquarters immediately and see if we can apply for a large-scale spatial teleportation troop transport channel to send us some reinforcements?" A major officer next to Yang Lei said.

"In this unstable spatial environment, it is impossible for the military to open a spatial teleportation channel for troops. This sudden spatial rift is an unexpected situation. Let's prepare to fight with all our might. If we are lucky, we may survive."

"Warning! Energy surges around the spatial rift! Something's about to emerge!" the intelligent defense system announced. The monitor stared at the screen, a profound sense of powerlessness washing over him. The purplish-black rift stretching across the sky suddenly expanded, as if ripped open by an invisible hand.

The next second, countless dark shadows poured out like a torrential rain, densely covering the entire sky.

"What the hell is that?!" A soldier's face turned pale, and the gun in his hand trembled slightly.

Standing with the medical center, Yun Han appeared remarkably calm, unlike the others who were still screaming. He looked at the dark figures, which were clad in jet-black armor covered with sharp bone spikes. Their limbs were long and slender like blades, and dark green poisonous mist spewed from their joints.

The most terrifying thing is their heads—they have no eyes, only a huge mouth covered with serrated fangs, with viscous venom dripping from the corners of their mouths, corroding the ground and making a "sizzling" sound.

“The Poison Abyss Beast…” General Yang’s voice was low and solemn. “This kind of beast can spit venom and is very troublesome. This is troublesome.”

"Everyone, put on gas masks. Wear gas masks on top of full armor." General Yang's voice quickly spread throughout the area.

General Yang quickly reported the situation to the military headquarters. Regardless of whether the military headquarters would send troops to support them, he had to report the situation.

"Roar--!!!"

The first Poisonous Abyss Beast landed, instantly cracking the ground. It roared to the sky, spraying venom like arrows. A warrior who couldn't dodge in time was hit directly; his protective suit dissolved instantly, and his flesh turned into pus amidst screams of agony.

"Fire! All hands, fire!"

Gunfire, artillery fire, and the hum of energy weapons instantly reverberated across the battlefield. The entire area descended into chaos.

A spatial rift appeared in the sky, which naturally affected Ning Xuan as well.

While facing the Thunder Beasts, Ning Xuan's troops were also attacked by the Poison Abyss Beasts. Initially, these strange beasts caused some casualties to Ning Xuan's troops.

However, Ning Xuan quickly discovered this situation.

Liu Linfeng looked at Ning Zhi with excitement and admiration. He saw that with a flash of lightning in Ning Zhi's hand, a Poisonous Abyss Beast was killed. In just over ten breaths, Ning Zhi had killed all of these troublesome beasts that could spray venom.
