Chapter 167 The wormhole enters a contraction period
However, looking at the expectant and trusting eyes of Qin An and others, Yun Han dialed Ning Xuan's number without hesitation.
Time is running out. No matter if it succeeds or not, we have to give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we can think of other ways.
Ning Xuan was resting after finishing treatment when she received a call from Yun Han, who said that the Tianwei Corps was facing a crisis and asked Ning Xuan to agree to let him resume his position temporarily. He would return to Ning Xuan as soon as the crisis was resolved. Ning Xuan looked at the wounded in the hall and the environment where Yun Han was obviously in the office area, and agreed without saying anything more.
But she then sent a letter to Yun Han, telling him that his life belonged to Ning Xuan, and that he must cherish his life, and also told him that he could just ask for it if he needed any medicine.
After Yun Han resumed his position as commander-in-chief, he immediately contacted the battlefield command center and inquired about the current combat duration of all support forces. When the command center saw Yun Han's inquiry, they dared not detain the people of the Tianwei Legion on the battlefield any longer. Three hours later, with the help of people sent by Qiao Yu, the team led by Qin Chuan and Yan Pengyuan finally returned to the base on a starship.
Qin Chuan was tall and strong. After putting on full armor, he looked like a small mountain. But now, his armor was in tatters and there was a deep scar on his face, extending from his forehead to his chin. The blood had already coagulated, but the wound was still hideous and terrifying. Black mist was crawling around the wound. His eyes were still firm, but there was a trace of fatigue and anxiety in his eyes that was difficult to conceal. The black mist lingered around him, as if it resonated with some kind of power in his body, making his figure look even gloomier.
Yan Pengyuan's situation was not optimistic either. His right arm hung limply at his side, and he had obviously lost the ability to move. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were chapped, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Fortunately, there was no obvious black fog around his body, and there was nothing abnormal about his mental fluctuations.
The two leading officers were both injured, and the situation of the soldiers behind them was even worse. The soldiers were exhausted, and their armor and clothes were stained with blood. What was even more frightening was that most of them were covered with a layer of faint black mist, which was the kind of black mist that could cause mental collapse and increased alienation value.
Fortunately, Yun Han still brought a lot of medicines, and Qin An and others also had experience in dealing with wounded soldiers.
Most of the people were carrying black fog, and all of them needed to be isolated. There was an isolation area on the training ground that had not been demolished, and those who were carrying black fog were placed there. In order to calm these people's emotions, those who had been injected with drugs before turned into psychotherapists, going in and out of the isolation area to take care of them.
At the same time, there were special personnel responsible for counting the number of wounded, and the wounded were divided into three areas: light, severe, and critical. Critical patients were naturally given priority treatment. However, in the process, they found that injecting alienation value clearing agents into people who showed signs of alienation could not save them. They were all completely alienated in about half an hour, and the dead were thrown into the incinerator as before to avoid infection.
With Yun Han in charge, Qin Chuan and others were quickly properly resettled and treated. However, on the front line of the battlefield, in order to control the invading creatures carrying black fog within a certain area, various troops still rushed to the battlefield one after another.
Wormhole crises broke out in three star fields at the same time. The creatures that invaded the battlefields of the three star fields through the wormholes all carried the black fog. After this news came, the military headed by Ying Yaoshi received a call from the Senate. Several members of the Senate hoped that the military would send troops to resolve the wormhole crisis as soon as possible.
However, Ying Yaoshi was guarding the battlefield outside the star field, where the space was turbulent and strange beasts were rampant. The combat power was already in a state of shortage, and he could not mobilize any manpower at all.
After research and discussion, the military and the Senate formulated several strategies. The first one was that the various corps stationed in the inner battlefield needed to take turns to support the three major war zones and strengthen the allocation of materials and medical assistance in the three major war zones. At the same time, the scientific research department would devote all its efforts to studying how to crack the black fog and research the spiritual sea safety armor to protect the spiritual sea from being eroded by the black fog.
Then the front-line troops should strengthen their defenses, use long-range attack methods as much as possible, and avoid direct contact with the black fog creatures.
In the dark depths at the other end of the wormhole, countless black mist creatures are gathering and taking shape, and are continuously being transported through the black hole.
The communicator at the battlefield command center suddenly rang, and the voice of a detector stationed near the wormhole came: "Report! According to the detection of the space warning instrument, the scope of the wormhole is shrinking and the wormhole has entered a contraction period. However, the number of black fog creatures that have passed through the wormhole to us is increasing rapidly!"
The air in the battlefield command center froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the communicator. The commander reacted quickly and immediately issued an order: "Front-line troops immediately adjust the defensive formation, all long-range firepower units and heavy firepower units enter the highest state! The Research Institute will study how long the wormhole's contraction period will take? Make a prediction of the contraction law as soon as possible."
The tactical analysis team quickly began to work, with the screen constantly refreshing the real-time data of the frontline troops and the distribution map of the black fog creatures. An analyst looked up and reported: "Commander, according to the current data, the main breakthrough point of the black fog creatures is concentrated in the northwest side of the wormhole. Our long-range firepower units have been deployed in the area, but the number of black fog creatures is still increasing. It is recommended to send additional air support and heavy firepower units."
"Where are the troops that can provide support? Supplies are also in short supply on the front line. Any results from the research institute?" The commander of the command center has been working hard for several days. His eyes are red and he is pulling his hair out of worry.
Just from the surveillance footage, we can tell that the atmosphere on the battlefield is now tense to a fever pitch. With the threat of the black fog, the soldiers dare not use their special powers or get close to the black fog creatures. They can only control long-range firepower to kill the black fog creatures. The sound of artillery fire on the battlefield continued, fighter planes whizzed past in the air, and the roars of the black fog creatures and the explosions intertwined, forming a tragic battlefield.
Seeing the black fog creatures rapidly expanding their territory, the casualties of the frontline soldiers increasing, and the lack of time to transport weapons and ammunition, the commander was almost on the verge of collapse. At this time, the research institute sent a communication, "According to the model analysis, the wormhole will shrink and disappear completely in about 2 to 6 hours."
The commander who received the news quickly ignited his fighting spirit and selected more than a dozen teams at once on the command platform. These were all troops that had been on the battlefield and had withdrawn three days ago, including the Tianwei Legion.
