Chapter 278 Wanyun Star Field Battlefield
Not many people knew about the relationship between Ning Xuan and Ying Yaoshi. When they went to Ying Yaoshi's place, they concealed the information from the outside world and even fabricated the illusion that Ning Xuan was practicing in seclusion.
Leng Yue picked up Ning Xuan and arranged her in an independent cabin not far from the command module. This cabin was the only independent cabin on the entire starship. There was nothing else except a sofa, a table, a bed, and a cylindrical robot. Compared with the large starship that Ning Xuan had taken before, the conditions could be said to be very simple.
This starship is a combat starship used for cruising and escort. Its comfort is certainly not as good as that of a large passenger starship. This independent cabin was converted from an information processing cabin. Leng Yue looked at the somewhat crowded cabin and smiled apologetically at Ning Xuan.
"The conditions are limited, Miss Ning, I'm sorry for the injustice you have endured." Leng Yue bowed very politely.
"General Leng, you seem to be much more reserved this time when we meet than last time." Ning Xuan said to Leng Yue. The last time he saw Leng Yue in Lingxiao Secret Realm, his attitude was much more casual than it is now.
"Ms. Ning, please forgive me for being disrespectful before." Leng Yue was chosen to pick people up because Ning Xuan had met him before, and he wanted to make Ning Xuan feel more at ease.
Ying Yaoshi was very dissatisfied with Leng Yue's performance in Lingxiao Secret Realm last time. He had made things difficult for him many times during daily training. This time, Leng Yue had learned his lesson.
"How long does it take to get to your place? Do I need to change trains in the middle? Or do we just stay on this starship?" Ning Xuan asked.
"It took twenty-one days to get here, and the return journey will be faster. It will take at most fifteen or sixteen days to reach the Wanyun Star Domain battlefield. Unless there are any accidents, there will be no need to change to other starships in the middle." Leng Yue replied.
"It's been such a long time, it's a bit boring. Doesn't your Marshal have any plans?" Ning Xuan asked with a chuckle.
"The Marshal asked us to protect your safety." Leng Yue replied with his head down.
To travel for more than ten days in this narrow starship would be boring and tedious even for them, not to mention that Ning Xuan was a distinguished and high-level female spirit controller.
Before coming, he had reminded the marshal whether he should arrange for some musicians to accompany Miss Ning to relieve her boredom, but he was almost stabbed to death by the marshal's glare.
"Okay, then just continue on your journey as normal. I'll come to you if there's anything. If there's nothing else, there's no need to bother you." Ning Xuan had just experienced the vastness of the world and the feeling of flying freely in the secret realm, and in the blink of an eye, she was trapped in this narrow starship. She still felt unhappy.
Ning Xuan meditated in this independent cabin, reviewing what she had gained in the spiritual practice secret realm over the past few days. When it was time for dinner, Leng Yue brought the meals on time, but the army only supplied simple-tasting energy bars and some packaged canned meat. The energy bars were tasteless, and the canned meat had a strong fishy smell and a very bad taste. Ning Xuan was used to the meals prepared by Jiuwei according to her wishes and recipes, and the food brought by Leng Yue was really hard to swallow.
From the next day, Ning Xuan refused Leng Yue's offer to deliver meals to her, saying that she could solve the problem of eating by herself.
Although Leng Yue felt uneasy about this, she had no other choice.
I can only report the news here to Ying Yaoshi and let the marshal make preparations in advance.
On the fifth day, the starship passed through a chaotic star field inhabited by alien beasts. Here, the starship encountered an attack. Although it passed through this area safely, the starship was still damaged.
Ning Xuan saw three starship maintenance technicians put on protective clothing and climb out of the starship through the skylight to repair the external fault. Ning Xuan immediately found Leng Yue and said that she also wanted to go out and take a look.
Hearing Ning Xuan's request, Leng Yue instantly looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He was very shocked and seriously rejected the request, "Miss Ning, space is full of unpredictable dangers, especially when the starship is in flight, extravehicular activities are not allowed."
Ning Xuan glanced at the three maintenance technicians who had already left the cabin.
"The maintenance technicians are experienced and have received professional training." Leng Yue nervously stood in front of Ning Xuan, fearing that she would force her way out.
Leng Yue had imagined that Ning Xuan might find fault with the harsh conditions on the starship, the boring environment, the lack of entertainment, and the poor diet. He was mentally prepared for Ning Xuan to lose her temper and make things difficult for him. However, he never expected that Ning Xuan would want to go out of the cabin.
"Isn't it said that it's dangerous outside? Since we need to repair the starship, we should slow down and then go at full speed after it's done." Ning Xuan saw Leng Yue staring at her warily, so she said this and turned back to her cabin.
Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the command cabin to slow down and cooperate with the repairs.
With Leng Yue's full efforts, they entered the Wanyun Star Region on the 13th day.
"Miss Ning, the marshal was originally planning to come and greet you in person. However, three days ago, the battlefield was in turmoil and the marshal went to the front line to fight. He was unable to come and greet you, so he ordered me to take you directly to the base." Leng Yue explained to Ning Xuan.
"Let's go." Ning Xuan said.
After entering the Wanyun Star Region, it can be seen that Leng Yue and others' mentality has obviously relaxed. This is a kind of relaxation after entering a safe area.
Ning Xuan looked outside through the window, and suddenly, a complex of buildings appeared in front of her. A huge complex of buildings suspended in the vast sea of stars.
Ning Xuan came out of the cabin and called Leng Yue over, "What's that in front? Is it your base?"
Ning Xuan pointed at the huge building complex that appeared in the field of vision and asked, "Are we there so soon?"
I saw twelve silver-white spires piercing the void in an anti-gravity posture. The surface of the towers was flowing with the luster of liquid metal. Whenever a meteor passed by, dark blue lines like circuits would appear on the towers.
The central dome is covered with a protective shield composed of hexagonal crystal lattices, and the energy matrix continuously radiates glow outward.
The exterior design and shape of other buildings are just like ordinary buildings on the planet, except that the materials of the buildings are all uniform gray metal of unknown material, emitting a unique glow in space.
"Miss Ning, this is not a base, this is one of the 72 side formations. This side formation is relatively far out and less secure. We don't usually send soldiers to garrison here, we only take turns patrolling." Leng Yue explained while looking at the building complex.
"72 side formation?" Ning Xuan asked puzzledly.
"Yes, the 72-side array is the cornerstone of the entire base and an important guarantee for the existence of the base." As Leng Yue spoke, the starship approached the building complex.
"S-class medium frigate S641 detected, scanning started, no harmful objects detected, passage allowed, congratulations, return home safely."
With a "beep", the starship passed through the tunnel under the central dome.
