Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 368 Arrival
Although Ning Xuan is currently on leave, her position is attached to the Second Army Corps headquarters, which is in a state of war. It is reasonable to recall officers on leave. After receiving the notice, Ning Xuan was somewhat worried about Lin Mo, who had returned to the Second Army Corps some time ago.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Mingche disregarded his anger towards Ning Xuan and took the initiative to come over. "Patriarch, let Yan Fuzhen accompany you. He can protect your safety."

"You're here. Let me see if your injury has healed?" Ning Xuan asked, pulling at Yu Mingche's clothes with concern.

"It's almost healed, thank you for your concern, Patriarch." Yu Mingche took a step back, his refusal quite clear.

Ning Xuan lowered her hand with a somewhat somber expression. "Ming Che, I really didn't mean it that day. Are you still angry?"

Seeing Ning Xuan's expression, even though Yu Mingche knew she was making that face on purpose, he still had no choice but to take two steps forward. "It's not that I don't want you to see, it's just that some of my injuries haven't healed yet, and it doesn't look good," Yu Mingche explained, unable to bear seeing Ning Xuan upset.

Yu Mingche and Ying Yaoshi had previously agreed to make it seem like they were at odds, so that those forces that had been eyeing Ning Xuan's inner quarters would think they had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, Yan Fuzhen deliberately stirred up trouble, and Yu Mingche went along with it. Only Ning Xuan was genuinely angry at that moment because she thought Yu Mingche was vying for power.

Seeing Yu Mingche approach, Ning Xuan took the opportunity to put her arm around his waist and said with a light laugh, "How could you not look good? No matter what, you are the most beautiful."

Before the Second Legion entered a state of war, Yun Han received news that the Tianwei Legion had been attacked, so Yun Han had already gone to the Tianwei Legion's base. As for Lan Xin, her internal injuries still needed a period of recuperation to fully recover. Chen Nan's strength was somewhat lacking, and Yu Mingche's combat ability was at most on par with Ning Xuan. Moreover, he could not leave the Central Star for too long.

After looking around, Ning Xuan realized that Yan Fuzhen was the most suitable candidate, so she agreed to Yu Mingche's suggestion.

Because it was an urgent notice, Ning Xuan quickly packed her belongings and boarded the starship with Yan Fuzhen, heading towards the Second Legion headquarters.

The Second Legion headquarters was not too far from the central star, and the starships dispatched by the base were fast enough to quickly enter space. The originally dark space outside the porthole was shrouded in a dark red light.

In just half a day, the starship traversed a spatial corridor and arrived at its destination—the Second Legion headquarters. The planet "V," where the Second Legion headquarters was located, floated in space, its surface covered with hideous scars, marks left by years of attacks from alien beasts.

"Miss Ning, we've arrived." The major officer who was sent to meet Ning Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the starship return safely. He stood ramrod straight as he spoke, his uniform adorned with medals, and his mannerisms and voice were impeccably respectful.

However, Ning Xuan was perceptive, and even though the major officer concealed it well, she could still sense that he did not show her as much respect as he did.

From space, the surface of this planet is covered with craters, and several huge rift valleys stretch across the continent like wounds. This planet is rich in resources, and even after many years of mining, rare mineral deposits are still discovered from time to time.

“Miss Ning, the headquarters is located in the Arctic region, where there is a natural geomagnetic barrier that can interfere with the perception of alien beasts. However, that area is shrouded in strong winds and mists all year round. The starship is about to land, so please put on your windproof coat and goggles first,” the major reminded her.

Ning Xuan listened to the officer's advice and put on the goggles. The starship began to descend, and it shook violently as it passed through the atmosphere.

Through the porthole, Ning Xuan saw the gradually clearer details of the ground: abandoned city ruins, and the wreckage of metal buildings melted by energy weapons. In the distance, several blinding beams of energy pierced the sky, indicating that the battle was still raging on the front lines.

"Three days ago, the Zerg suddenly appeared and broke through three lines of defense of the outer defense system in just one day."

The major's voice was deep, "The Zerg's new unit can secrete a poisonous mist that can cause people to lose their minds and attack their own allies. This mist is also contagious. It has caused heavy losses to our soldiers. I've heard that Miss Ning is very skilled at detoxification and purification; I hope you can save them."

The major responsibly explained the situation of the base to Ning Xuan, but in reality, he didn't have much hope for her.

In the six months before Ms. Ning took her leave, her level of medical expertise was quite mediocre.

The starship landed on the base's helipad. As the hatch opened, a biting wind rushed out. Ning Xuan pulled the collar of her outer coat tighter and, together with Yan Fuzhen, followed the officer down the gangway.

The Second Army Corps headquarters was enormous. At the center of the base stood the command tower, surrounded by armories, barracks, and research facilities, all arranged in an orderly fashion.

To withstand the strong winds, all the buildings here are not very tall; apart from the reactor and the command tower, the tallest building is only three stories high.

Ning Xuan stepped off the starship. Maintenance robots and technicians were busy everywhere on the base grounds, with the occasional harsh sound of metal welding echoing through the air. A tense atmosphere permeated the air; everyone was working against the clock, preparing weapons and equipment for the upcoming front lines.

The major led Ning Xuan directly to the command post, which was even busier inside than outside. Holographic projections flickered on both sides of the corridor, displaying the real-time status of various frontline units. Officers hurried past, battle reports and orders constantly coming through their communicators.

Ning Xuan noticed that most people were in a hurry, and some had bloodshot eyes.

Led by the officer, Ning Xuan soon met Yue Qingtian, the commander of the Second Army Corps and the overall commander of the base.

Yue Qingtian looked to be in his forties or fifties, tall and robust. Upon seeing Ning Xuan, the commander's face lit up with joy. "Miss Ning, thank you so much for returning to the base at this time. On behalf of the wounded awaiting rescue at the medical center, I thank you." His voice was somewhat hoarse and low, as if he had spoken a lot.

Ning Xuan gave a standard military salute. "Commander-in-Chief, Ning Xuan, a recent graduate of the Alchemy Department of the Central Star Military Academy, reports for duty. I am ready and at any time to begin work."

"Okay, Yue Feng, take Miss Ning to the medical center. Dean Lin is already waiting for her," Yue Qingtian said with some relief.

During the time Ning Xuan was not at the Second Legion headquarters, she was on Resource Star S12, where Yue Qingtian had already heard about her achievements.
