Chapter 80: Closing Countdown

After Fu Chen comforted Ye Jin, he pinched his face and said, “Well, I won’t talk about you anymore. You can’t be so impulsive next time. You must tell me when you want to come.”

Ye Jin looked at Fu Chen, who looked helpless and gentle, and nodded with a bashful smile on his face.

The two chatted for a while. Ye Jin looked at the time and noticed that it was almost lunchtime. Ye Jin pulled Fu Chen aside and said, “Lunch time is almost here. First, you can take me to the logistics to get a kitchen to cook special dishes for everyone. I want to help you lessen the pressure quickly.”

Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin’s serious face, and his heart was also warm and full of emotion. He cautiously kissed Ye Jin’s forehead and said, “Okay, I’ll take you there, but you must pay attention to your own safety.”

Ye Jin nodded, took Fu Chen’s hand, walked out of the room, and asked Fu Chen to take him to the kitchen. On the way to the kitchen, the two went to Ye Lin’an’s room and asked him to join them before going to the kitchen.

They then arrived at the kitchen of the logistics department. Along the way, they passed through the training ground and saw the soldiers who were training. Some were doing physical training, while some were fighting each other in mechas. Ye Jin stood there with envy and stared at them. In the end, he was pulled away by Fu Chen, who couldn’t laugh or cry.

After arriving in the kitchen, Ye Jin looked at the simple, clean, and spotless room and immediately understood that it was temporarily and urgently cleaned up, but he didn’t care much. After all, this kitchen won’t be used for too long. It’s just used to make special dishes for injuries and diseases. There is no need to rebuild a kitchen.

Ye Jin walked into the kitchen and asked everyone to take out all the ingredients and props brought from the storage space, and said to Fu Chen while packing up: “I will be cooking here. When I’m done, I’ll ask someone to call you. You don’t have to waste time with me. After all, you definitely can’t leave during special periods. It’s probably the limit of your time to be able to pick me up, right?”

Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin who pushed him out and couldn’t laugh or cry. Even if he was really busy, it was right, but wasn’t it a bit too virtuous to push him out as soon as they met? There was still time to accompany him for a while. 

Thinking so, Fu Chen knocked on his forehead and said, “You have no conscience. Are you really going to drive me away? Even if I’m busy, I still have time to stay with you for a while.”

Ye Jin clutched the forehead that was knocked by Fu Chen, and said in a low voice: “This is not thinking about a special period. It might be very troublesome to find you in case there is an emergency on the front line.”

Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin with a reddish complexion, smiled in a good mood, and said, “Well, I will go to work now. Pay attention to my body so that you don’t get tired.”

Ye Jin waved his hand and asked Fu Chen to leave quickly. When Fu Chen’s figure was almost invisible, he reluctantly turned around and went back.

At this time, Ye Lin’an, who had come out to find Ye Jin, looked at the direction of Fu Chen’s disappearance and teased: “So reluctant? Are you still staring at him even though he’s all gone?”

Ye Jin glared at Ye Lin’an in embarrassment when he heard the words, turned, and entered the kitchen without answering.

Ye Lin’an looked at Ye Jin who hurriedly walked into the kitchen. He glanced at him worriedly and turned his head to look in the direction where Fu Chen’s figure disappeared. 

Thinking of the news from Fu Chen that he received today, he couldn’t help sighing in his heart, hoping that Fu Chen could solve this trouble; otherwise, when the Zerg reinforcements come, even Fulan Xing will be unable to defend.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin’an shook his head, turned around and went back to the kitchen to help.

While Ye Jin was busy cooking special dishes in the kitchen, Fu Chen returned to the front-line command office. At this time, he was discussing the battle with Adjutant Xiao and Adjutant Luo. According to the news sent by the spy, the Zerg are contacting Feng Chen for reinforcements, and I don’t know when they will come to Fu’er Xing.

If the Zerg really enter Fu’er Xing, they will not only face a more critical situation, but even the imperial people of Fu’er Xing will be in danger. Fu Chen would not believe that the dust that betrayed the empire would affect the personal safety of those ordinary citizens.

“Admiral, if we can’t solve the enemy as soon as possible, waiting for their Zerg reinforcements to arrive will be very detrimental to us. I hope the admiral can make a decision as soon as possible.” Adjutant Xiao said with a solemn expression and frowning brows.

Hearing this, Fu Chen frowned and looked at the star map and construction map of Fu’er Xing at hand. It took a long time before he said: “Since the external cracking is not feasible, then we will start from the inside to break it, and the inside and the outside will cooperate together to get rid of them before the Zerg reinforcements arrive.”

After speaking, Fu Chen looked at the terrain of the star domain and the terrain of the construction map and pointed to several places and said: “In three days, in the evening, we will smuggle from the port to Fu’er Xing. From here, we will enter the hidden point of the triangle to ambush. In addition, the person who contacted Fuerxing told him that he was ready to act.”

When Fu Chen finished speaking, he pointed to the periphery of the Fu’er Xing Triangle, not far from a garbage station in the residential area of ordinary people, where Ye Jin’s previous home was.

After Ye Jin sold the house before, it was later bought by Fu Chen. At first, he thought that he would have the opportunity to bring Ye Jin back to see it in the future, so Fu Chen asked Adjutant Xiao to arrange guards in this house. He didn’t expect it to come in handy now.

Adjutant Xiao looked at the position pointed by Fu Chen’s hand and understood what Fu Chen meant. He nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements. Meanwhile Adjutant Luo, who had been in Shita Xing before but was not involved in these matters, looked at Fu Chen with some doubts and said, “Admiral, when did we arrange someone in Fu’er Xing? Is it ensured?”

Fu Chen rubbed his brows and glanced at Adjutant Luo and said, “It was arranged when I bought Xiao Jin’s house a long time ago. At that time, I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen. This was an unexpected surprise.”

Adjutant Luo nodded suddenly when he heard the words, with a surprised expression on his face, and then Fu Chen hurried to arrange the next war matter.

When Fu Chen was arranging tactics, Ye Jin was also taking the time to make special dishes for the wounded. When he prepared a medicated meal for the wounded at noon, he also truly saw the cruelty of war. War was the most cruel and bloodiest in that era.

Ye Jin was holding the tableware in his hand, followed by Ye Lin’an and several of his apprentices. Two or three people carried a huge pot together, and a total of two pots were brought over. Inside were the medicinal porridge and medicinal soup that Ye Jin cooked today. In addition, Ye Jin has also brought the soaked medicinal wine.

Ye Jin followed the people arranged by Fu Chen all the way into the hospital, starting from the first ward to serve everyone porridge one by one, each with a bowl of porridge. Before reaching halfway through the ward, the pot of porridge that Ye Jin had brought was gone, so they began to serve medicinal pork rib soup to the patients in the back ward.

Ye Jin walked while keeping a constant eye on the many injured people who were lying on the bed. Some of the injuries on the outside have been cured by the treatment instrument, but the pale face shows that the internal strength were not as healthy as it looks.

Many people had broken hands and feet that needed to be repaired in a repair warehouse. According to the medical staff, even if these injuries are cured, they will have to be nurtured at home for two or three months, and even these trauma injuries were not the most serious ones. The most serious injury was the damage to the body caused by abilities and mental power.

Ye Jin continued to look down; his face grew paler and more unsightly, and his heart was heavy with depression because these cases in the hospital’s general ward are not the most serious. 

The most serious are the wounded who have been in a coma and have not been awake, which Ye Jin has seen with the medical staff. It is said that during the battle, their mental strengths were too severely damaged, and as a result, they had fallen into a state of self-protection coma.

Ye Jin observed a steady flow of injured people being brought one by one into the hospital during this period. This made Ye Jin feel depressed and unable to breathe. His eyes were hot and red, and he felt like crying at the same time.

These are all soldiers who fought for the Empire, but now they are lying in a coma in the repair cabin, relying on nutrient solutions to maintain their lives, and behind each of them was a family. There may be a father, a mother, and a wife and children waiting for them to return home.

Thinking of this, Ye Jin shrank his nose uncomfortably and made up his mind to spread the special dishes to the whole empire, so that everyone would no longer have to suffer from the suffering caused by damage to their mental powers and abilities.

When Ye Jin finished dividing all the soup and porridge for everyone and walked out of the hospital, his expression was a little gloomy. It took a long time for Ye Jin to look at Ye Lin’an and the others who came out together.

“Cousin, in the next few days, I want to make more medicinal meals and medicinal wine for everyone. I want everyone to get better quickly. But this may be hard for everyone.” Ye Jin apologized to everyone and bowed deeply.

Ye Lin’an looked at Ye Jin’s firm look and sighed in his heart. He knew this would happen. His cousin is really soft-hearted sometimes, but thinking of the soldiers lying in the hospital, he felt a little bit unbearable, and said.

“What’s the matter? Just do whatever you want. We will all be with you behind you. There is no need to apologize or bow. Our Xiao Jin is a really soft-hearted and kind-hearted child.” There was also a proud smile on his face as Ye Lin’an said.

Ye Xu and Yu Nian’s apprentices also stepped forward one after another to say that it was okay, that everyone was willing to support him, and that this was what they wanted to do after they came out of the hospital.

Yu Nian even said, “Master, even if you don’t say it, we will do it, and we ourselves want to do our part to help the wounded soldiers. Seeing everyone’s situation today, I feel really uncomfortable. Those soldiers who guard the empire shouldn’t suffer from these tortures. I didn’t know it before. Even if we didn’t see it, now that we have seen it, we also want to do something to help them.”

After Yu Nian finished speaking, his eyes looked at Ye Jin firmly and brightly, while the other people nodded earnestly, looking at him with an unwavering expression and expressing their wishes.

Ye Jin received everyone’s full support, looked at everyone with a moved expression, and said with a tight throat: “Thank you all for supporting me. Then you may not have time to rest. It will be very hard.”

Ye Xu and Yu Nian both looked excited and said, “It’s okay, Master; we don’t recommend sticking to it!”
