Chapter 316 Major
This thunderstorm lasted for three full hours. As the dark clouds gradually dissipated, the thunder that covered the sky and seemed like the end of the world also disappeared.
At this moment, Ning Xuan felt as if the meridians in her body were about to be broken, and the movement of lightning made her feel waves of pain.
"Commander Ning, what's wrong with you? You look so pale." No one asked with concern.
"It's okay, just report the basic situation." Ning Xuan said.
"There are no statistics from Group Two. There are a total of 500 people in Group One. Currently, 39 are injured, 17 of whom are seriously injured. The medical team has already provided treatment, and no one has died yet." The person who reported the situation to Ning Xuan was Liu Linfeng, the captain of the E9 Brigade.
Liu Linfeng is bold, thoughtful and thorough. He was appointed as deputy commander by Ning Xuan after she took office yesterday, replacing her previous assistant position.
"The injured should receive treatment, and the captains should immediately organize the rest of the people to search for special minerals." Ning Xuan ordered.
"Yes." The captains of each team immediately took the order and left.
"Commander Ning, are these the Thunder Beasts you captured? Why are they so small? Aren't they said that Thunder Beasts cannot be captured?" After commanding his men to clean up the battlefield, Liu Linfeng saw Ning Xuan fiddling with a furry little beast and asked curiously.
"These are the larvae of the Thunder Beast. They haven't completed the first round of evolution yet, so of course they are small." Ning Xuan had just tried to input the restless thunder in her meridians into the body of the Thunder Beast. She found that this Thunder Beast was able to absorb the thunder she input. Not only did it not feel any discomfort, but its fur was brighter than before.
"How was the harvest?" Ning Xuan asked.
"A total of eleven special ores were found, all here." Liu Linfeng handed over a space button.
"Commander Ning, we heard a rumor before that the casualty rate among new recruits who go on a mission during a thunderstorm for the first time is very high, and only three out of ten can survive the first wave of thunder tempering." Liu Linfeng looked at Ning Xuan excitedly. He knew that the rumor was not false, but Ning Xuan used special means.
After all, Ning Xuan introduced thunder into her body and weakened its power, which many people could notice.
Ning Xuan weakened the power of thunder, allowing almost all the soldiers to withstand this wave. When they encounter thunderstorms in the future, they will be able to resist them.
In fact, when the recruits faced the first wave of thunderstorms, what threatened their lives was not only the power of thunder, but more importantly the thunder beasts. The reason why there were no casualties this time was because Ning Xuan captured all the thunder beasts.
Even more fortunately, they did not encounter an evolved Thunder Beast this time. If an evolved Thunder Beast appeared, even if Ning Xuan could defeat it, it would take a lot of time and it would be impossible to protect everyone.
Ning Xuan lowered her head and teased the captured Thunder Beast, and responded nonchalantly, "Maybe the rumors are too exaggerated, or maybe we are lucky. After cleaning up the battlefield, we will go back to rest immediately and let the second team come to replace us."
The next wave of thunderstorms could arrive at any time, and the new recruits in Group 2 also need to be tempered.
After Ning Xuan gave the order, the two groups quickly completed the change of guard.
Just after the second group of soldiers arrived at the location, the sky was suddenly split by a purple-blue lightning, and then the sky dimmed, and the earth seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
"Clang", with a loud bang, a bolt of lightning as thick as a dragon or python came straight down from the sky, illuminating the entire mining area palely.
Before the second group of recruits could cover their ears, a deafening thunderstorm exploded above their heads, and the sound waves caused several thin boys to kneel on the ground.
"Form a line!" Wind in the Willows' roar spread in the gaps between thunderstorms. The recruits stumbled into a defensive formation, gritting their teeth and looking at the sky where lightning was flashing.
The low-hanging dark clouds suddenly pressed down, and raindrops as big as beans fell down, splashing blue sparks on the soldiers' armor - the raindrops carried the breath of thunder and moved across the armor.
The face that was not covered by armor felt numb immediately when it was hit by the rain.
The thunder wandering in the clouds has turned into electric pythons. Every time it strikes, it can create a crack in the earth. The ground in the mining area is extremely hard, but it is still cracked into gullies.
When the weather changed, Ning Xuan evenly fed the thunder in her body to the dozen or so thunder beasts she had just captured.
At this moment, Ning Xuan only felt that the blue meridians in her body were empty, and she concentrated on running the "Spirit Inducing Sutra". One after another, purple-blue thunders struck straight towards Ning Xuan's head. The momentum was so huge that it seemed to destroy the sky and the earth.
Liu Linfeng and others looked at this scene in horror. Liu Linfeng felt his hands and feet go numb and he had difficulty breathing. He couldn't imagine how Ning Xuan could still be alive after being struck by lightning of such power.
Just when Liu Linfeng was feeling desperate and couldn't help wanting to rush into the thunder, many black threads separated from Ning Xuan's body and pierced straight into the bodies of the dozen or so thunder beasts she had captured.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of Ning Xuan's mouth. She had underestimated the power of this round of thunder. She had just used all her strength to practice her skills, causing several violent thunders to rush into her body, causing some damage to her meridians.
However, she had quickly taken the medicine to repair her meridians and introduced an excess of thunder power into the bodies of the thunder beasts. In just a few minutes, the size of those dozen or so thunder beasts doubled.
This wave of thunderstorms came with greater force than the previous one. However, after Ning Xuan channeled the lightning into her body, the thunder gradually died down and the sky gradually brightened.
"Everyone, pay attention to body training. Use your body to fight against the thunder. Don't dodge." Ning Xuan gave the order.
"Everyone, pay attention and temper your body." Seeing that Ning Xuan was fine and seemed to be alive again, Liu Linfeng immediately conveyed Ning Xuan's order.
This thunderstorm was over quickly and lasted nearly half as short as the previous one.
After the end, they still conducted an inventory and summary. Thirteen people were killed by thunder and 32 were seriously injured. If Ning Xuan had not acted in time, most of them would have found it difficult to survive.
The death toll in the ninth mining area was 15, with a mortality rate of 15‰
The death toll in the first mining area was 321, with a mortality rate of 321‰.
The death toll in the second mining area was 298, and the mortality rate was 298‰
The death toll in the third mining area was 309, with a mortality rate of 309‰.
…
After the first thunderstorm ended, the new recruits in various areas reported their casualties. The death rate in the Ninth Mining Area was much lower than that in other mining areas. This data immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups, and an investigation team entered the Ninth Mining Area that afternoon.
Facing the investigation team's inquiries, Ning Xuan calmly explained that her companion spirit was of the wind and thunder type, and she could use lightning to practice, and that their mining area was relatively lucky.
