Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 331 Turning the Tide
"Major General Ning, you've arrived. According to reliable data, the poisonous mist and miasma created by the Poisonous Abyss Beast can be purified by Purple Lightning. I wonder if Major General Ning could find a way to attract Purple Lightning to purify this area?"

"If Major General Ning can purify this safe zone, you will surely be credited with a great achievement." General Yang knew that this request would be difficult to fulfill, and encouraged Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan looked troubled. Before she could speak, Liu Linfeng, who was beside her, couldn't help but speak up, "Commanders, our Commander Ning has been fighting against the Thunder Beasts in the Ninth Mining Area for more than ten days. He is already exhausted and is just barely holding on. When we saw someone taking over our defense zone, we all thought it was reinforcements coming to help us. We didn't expect it to be our commander doing hard labor here."

Liu Linfeng said anxiously. Like Ning Xuan, he had also been fighting for more than ten days. However, Liu Linfeng's physical condition was not as good as Ning Xuan's. He was covered in dark circles and looked exhausted, looking quite disheveled.

Yang Lei felt a little guilty after being rebuked, but his subordinates behind him were very dissatisfied. "How dare you! A mere captain dares to speak to the general like that! As soldiers, obeying military orders is our duty..."

"Xiao Zhao, shut up." Yang Lei interrupted his subordinate as soon as he saw Ning Xuan frown.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Zhao immediately shut up.

"Major General Ning, I was recommended by Dean Ding and noticed that because of your outstanding strength, you have been promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander of District 11 in just a few months. I heard that you are a lightning-type spirit controller. The poisonous miasma created by the Poisonous Abyss Beast is most afraid of lightning energy. I wonder if you can solve the problem of the poisonous miasma."

Ning Xuan was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the 11th District, which is considered a senior officer in the base. To be promoted to this rank, the relevant procedures must have been handled by General Yang. However, the promotion system during wartime only considers military merits, not personal profiles. As long as the accumulated military merits meet the promotion requirements, it can be approved quickly. Therefore, without checking the detailed personal information, Yang Lei really didn't know much about Ning Xuan.

“Okay, but my soldiers have been fighting for more than ten days straight. They need rest. I hope you won’t assign them any new tasks in the short term.” Ning Xuan glanced at Liu Linfeng, her eyes filled with concern and guilt.

Liu Linfeng's eyes reddened instantly. "Commander, you're the one who needs rest the most. If it weren't for you always looking after us..."

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, immediately arrange for the soldiers of District 11 to enter the quarantine zone." Yang Lei immediately agreed.

The temporary safe base is not yet fully completed. Currently, only the isolation zone and the protective zone have been established. The isolation zone is located in the center and is completely safe. The protective zone is only equipped with gas filtration devices and is less safe. Space in the isolation zone is limited, so it is not easy to get there to rest.

“No, the ones who need rest the most…” Liu Linfeng wanted to say something, but Ning Xuan stopped him with a look and ordered, “Take everyone to the quarantine area to rest.”

"Yes." Upon hearing Ning Xuan's tone, Liu Linfeng dared not speak again and immediately accepted the order.

Yun Han looked at Ning Xuan in the crowd, his eyes asking if he could participate in the battle with his true strength.

Ning Xuan responded with a "wait and see" gesture.

Given the dire situation today, she might have no choice but to go all out. Affected by the poisonous miasma, she could easily suffer a mental breakdown and abnormal mutation. If it really comes to the point where a large number of warriors suffer a mental breakdown, she might use her ability as a female spirit controller to soothe them, which would inevitably expose her true identity. If her identity is exposed, Yun Han will naturally have no need to hide it.

After battling the Thunder Beasts on the battlefield, Ning Xuan's newly awakened companion spirit had become fully solidified and stable. Having witnessed the war scenes she desired, she no longer needed to remain at the base. Therefore, if the situation truly required her to use her mental power to soothe the wounded, she wouldn't stand idly by. Seeing that Ning Xuan didn't refuse, General Yang Lei immediately personally led her to the area contaminated by the poisonous miasma.

After passing through the last protective net, Ning Xuan saw a horrifying scene on the other side.

The sight before her eyes caused Ning Xuan's pupils to shrink sharply. The once tall and towering trees were now shrouded in a purplish-black mist, which seemed to writhe slowly in the air like living tentacles.

Ning Xuan noticed that the edges of the outermost shrub leaves were already curled, and those that were not yet curled were covered with black spots.

"This poisonous miasma is spreading very quickly. An hour ago, it only covered less than a quarter of the area. If it continues to spread, the entire Black Mountain Plain will be covered by the miasma." Yang Lei's voice came through his protective mask. He pointed to the faintly visible warning line a hundred meters ahead. "Just now, when we measured it, the spread rate increased threefold." As they went deeper, thick, purplish-black dew began to appear on the ground, and when they stepped on it, their boots would pull out thin, thread-like sap.

"General, you can't go any further. The protective mask can't stop the invasion of the mental toxins, you..." the general's assistant said worriedly.

“General, the entire camp still needs your command. I will accompany Major General Ning in.” A lieutenant general suggested.

"Don't say anymore, I..."

"General, a new alien beast has appeared over the spatial rift and has reached the outer edge of the protective net. Please go and take a look." A communications soldier came anxiously to report.

"General, please go ahead with your work. I'll take care of things here," the lieutenant general said.

Ning Xuan also stated that she had no objections.

"Major General Ning, thank you for your hard work. I hope to hear good news from you." General Yang looked at her expectantly.

"I will try my best. Don't worry," Ning Xuan nodded in response.

Ning Xuan and another team of companions were dressed in full biohazard protective suits as they prepared to enter the poisonous miasma contaminated area. A faint sweet and fishy smell wafted in the air. Even though they were fully armed, they could still smell it. Ning Xuan could sense that her companions were very nervous. There were also poisonous abyssal beasts active in the contaminated area. Their protective suits made it difficult for them to move. If they were attacked by a poisonous abyssal beast, their protective suits would easily tear, and they would immediately be in danger.

Ning Xuan glanced at the lieutenant general, whose surname was Lin and who appeared to be in his fifties. "Lieutenant General Lin, you don't need to go any further. I can go by myself," Ning Xuan said.

Upon hearing Ning Xuan's words, Lieutenant General Lin showed a look of gratitude and admiration, but he immediately refused, saying, "How can that be? Major General Ning has just come from the battlefield; I can't let you risk your life alone."
