Chapter 331 Turning the Tide

"Major General Ning, you are here. According to reliable data, the poisonous fog and miasma created by the Poison Abyss Beast can be purified by purple lightning. I wonder if Major General Ning can find a way to attract purple lightning to purify this area?"

"If Major General Ning can purify this safe zone, you will definitely be credited with a great achievement." Admiral Yang also knew that this request was difficult to achieve, so he encouraged Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan showed an embarrassment on her face. Before she could speak, Liu Linfeng who was following her could not help but speak, "Commanders, our Commander Ning has been in the ninth mining area, resisting the thunder beasts for more than ten consecutive days. He has long been exhausted and is just holding on. When we saw someone taking over our defense area, we thought it was reinforcements coming to help us, but we didn't expect that they wanted our commander to do 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. His eyes were dark blue and he looked exhausted. He looked very embarrassed.

Yang Lei felt a little guilty about being scolded, but his subordinates behind him were very dissatisfied, "How dare a small captain talk to the general like this? As a soldier, it is our duty to obey military orders..."

"Xiao Zhao, shut up." Yang Lei saw Ning Xuan frowning and quickly interrupted his subordinate.

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

"Major General Ning, I heard the recommendation from Dean Ding and noticed that because of his outstanding strength, Major General Ning has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander-in-chief of District 11 in just a few months. I heard that Major General Ning is a lightning spirit controller. The poison miasma created by the Poison Abyss Beast is most afraid of lightning energy. I wonder if you can solve the poison miasma problem."

Ning Xuan was promoted to commander-in-chief of District 11, which made her a senior officer in the base. To be promoted to this rank, the relevant procedures must have been handled by Admiral Yang. However, the promotion system during the war only looked at military merit, not personal profile. As long as the accumulated military merit met the promotion requirements, one would be quickly approved. Therefore, without checking the detailed personal information, Yang Lei didn't really know much about Ning Xuan.

"Okay, but the soldiers under my command have been fighting for more than ten days in a row. They need rest. I hope your superiors will not assign them new tasks in the short term." Ning Xuan glanced at Liu Linfeng with a look of heartache and guilt.

Liu Linfeng's eyes suddenly turned red, "Commander, you are the one who needs rest the most. If you hadn't been taking care of us all the time..."

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, immediately arrange for the soldiers from Area 11 to enter the quarantine area." Yang Lei agreed immediately.

The temporary safe base has not been fully built yet. Currently, only the isolation area and the protection area have been established. The isolation area is in the central location and is completely safe. The protection area only has installed and used poison gas filtering devices, and its safety is worse. The isolation area has limited space, and it is not easy to enter there for 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." When Liu Linfeng heard Ning Xuan's tone, he didn't dare to speak again and immediately accepted the order.

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

Ning Xuan responded with a gesture to wait and see.

In today's dire situation, she might have no choice but to give it her all. Affected by the poisonous miasma, it is easy for her to suffer a mental breakdown and abnormal alienation. If the soldiers really suffer a large-scale mental breakdown, she will probably use her mental soothing ability as a female spirit controller, which will inevitably expose her true identity. If her identity is exposed, Yun Han naturally has no need to hide it.

After Ning Xuan's battles with the Thunder Beast on the battlefield for some time, her newly awakened companion spirit has become completely solid and stable. She has also seen the war scenes she wanted to see. In fact, there is no need for her to stay in this base any longer. Therefore, if the time really comes when she needs to use her mental soothing ability, she will not stand by and watch someone die.

Seeing that Ning Xuan did not refuse, Admiral Yang Lei immediately led her to the area contaminated by the poisonous miasma.

After passing through the last protective net, Ning Xuan saw a horrifying scene over there.

The scene in front of her made Ning Xuan's pupils shrink suddenly. The originally tall trees were now shrouded in purple-black mist. The mist was like living tentacles, slowly wriggling in the air.

Ning Xuan noticed that the edges of the leaves of the outermost shrubs had already curled up, and the parts that had not yet curled up had black spots.

"The poisonous miasma is spreading very quickly. An hour ago, it was less than a quarter of its current area. If it continues to spread, the entire Black Mountain Plain will be occupied by the poisonous miasma." Yang Lei's voice came through the protective mask. He pointed to the faintly visible warning line a hundred meters ahead and said, "When I measured it just now, the spread rate has increased three times." As they went deeper, sticky purple-black dewdrops began to appear on the ground, and the soles of their boots would pull out long, thin, thread-like mucus when they stepped on it.

"Admiral, you can't go any further. The protective mask cannot block the invasion of mental toxins. You..." The assistant beside the admiral said worriedly.

"Admiral, the entire camp still needs you to command it. I can just accompany Major General Ning in." A lieutenant general-level officer suggested.

"Stop talking, I..."

"Admiral, a new strange beast has appeared on the other side of the space crack and has arrived at the outer edge of the protective net. Please go and take a look." A signalman came over anxiously to report.

"General, please go and do your work. My subordinates are here." said the lieutenant general.

Ning Xuan also expressed that she had no objection.

"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 wearing full sets of biochemical protective suits and preparing to enter the poisonous miasma contaminated area. There was a faint sweet and fishy smell in the air. Even though they were fully armed, they could still smell the odor. Ning Xuan could feel that the companions were very nervous. There were also poisonous beasts active in the contaminated area. They were inconvenient to move in their protective suits. Once attacked by poisonous beasts, the protective suits they wore would easily tear and they would be immediately in danger.

Ning Xuan looked at the lieutenant general, whose surname was Lin and who was about 50 years old. "Lieutenant General Lin, you don't have to go any further. I can go there by myself," Ning Xuan said.

When Lieutenant General Lin heard Ning Xuan say this, he was touched and admired, but he immediately refused, "How can that be possible? Major General Ning just came down from the battlefield, and I can't let you take risks alone."
