230: Cooking on the battlefield?

Lu Chuan finally noticed this scene at this moment.

Looking at Gao Lingfeng, who was frantically slaughtering enemies in the midst of the enemy crowd, enveloped in a crimson mist, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"It's the Gourmet Cells! But it's an extremely violent, out-of-control Gourmet Cells!"

Just then, his superhuman hearing caught fragments of an urgent communication between the defense line commander and headquarters nearby:

"... 'City Wall' plan... experimental subject..."

The fragmented information immediately corroborated Lu Chuan's guesses.

Subsequently, an idea immediately surfaced in his mind.

The reason the Gourmet Cells was out of control was due to the lack of food to soothe and guide it.

If that's the case, using food to properly guide these out-of-control warriors, maybe... The more Lu Chuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he immediately shouted to a colonel nearby:

"I have important intelligence to report! It concerns the war situation!"

The colonel was stunned for a moment, then, seeing that it was Lu Chuan, who had appeared with He Jingrui earlier, he immediately became alert and quickly reported it.

Soon, having received orders from his superior, the colonel immediately took Lu Chuan to the harried defense line commander.

Before the commander could speak, Lu Chuan interrupted directly, saying:

"I have a way to restore some of their sanity! At least to control them!"

Hearing this, the commander's brows furrowed tightly, and he gestured for Lu Chuan to speak quickly.

Lu Chuan nodded.

"Food can soothe them! Please help me prepare cooking utensils and ingredients; I can make delicious food on the spot!"

After he finished speaking, the frontline commander was already furious.

"Someone! Get this kid out of here! What time is it, and he's still causing trouble here! This is truly absurd..."

But before he could finish, his earpiece immediately connected to a communication from headquarters.

"Yes! Yes, please speak!"

"Yes... huh?! What... no... yes, yes!"

"Yes, received!"

The commander's expression became very interesting; he seemed to have received an incredible order.

He then gave Lu Chuan a strange look and handed him an encrypted communicator.

"Headquarters... wants you to communicate directly."

Lu Chuan took it in confusion and put it on.

A young, calm voice came from the other side.

"I am Ye Chen, you said you could soothe them with food?"

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, speaking very quickly.

"Yes, the food I cook can restore some of their sanity. I currently need equipment and ingredients."

Then, he prepared to explain the principle behind it.

However, Ye Chen's response was simpler than he imagined.

"What ingredients do you need?"

Lu Chuan was surprised, but still quickly said:

"Soy sauce fried rice! This is a dish that can be served in just one minute! The specific ingredients needed are..."

But before he could finish, Ye Chen directly interrupted him.

"Understood. Cooking equipment and the highest quality ingredients are already being transported by helicopter and will arrive at your coordinates in one minute. Prepare to receive them."

Lu Chuan was stunned upon hearing this and was about to say something more, but the communication had already been cut off.

One minute later, a helicopter landed precisely, unloading professional field cooking equipment and fresh ingredients.

All the frontline soldiers who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded; even the enemy's attacks briefly stalled.

In the middle of a battlefield with incessant gunfire and flying flesh... cooking?!

Lu Chuan suppressed the shock in his heart, glanced at Gao Lingfeng and the others, who were being led by the nose by the enemy in the enemy crowd and gradually showing signs of fatigue, no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed forward, skillfully starting a fire, setting up the pot, and preparing the ingredients.

Time ticked by; the time he had for cooking was very short.

As the pot heated and the oil boiled, and the ingredients were added to the pot, under his superb cooking skills, a strange, indescribably alluring aroma gradually spread outward from Lu Chuan.

This aroma seemed to possess magic, penetrating through the smoke and blood, clearly reaching the nostrils of every living creature on the battlefield.

In an instant, whether it was human soldiers, Strange Beast, monsters, Little devils gene warriors, or those madly slaughtering "lunatics"... every single being's movements involuntarily paused.

Countless gazes, filled with shock, confusion, greed, desire... all simultaneously turned towards the figure flipping the wok in the center of the battlefield.

The sounds of gunfire and roars miraculously subsided.

The battlefield experienced a moment of eerie stagnation.

Lu Chuan focused entirely, pouring his whole mind into the cooking.

Soon, a pot of soy sauce fried rice, emanating an extreme aroma, was completed.

"Quick! Use the helicopter to airdrop these over their heads!" Lu Chuan shouted to the commander, who was already dumbfounded.

The commander, as if waking from a dream, looked at the clear instructions again sent by headquarters, and despite finding it utterly absurd, immediately complied.

The helicopter circled up and precisely airdropped the steaming hot soy sauce fried rice into the area where Gao Lingfeng and the other "lunatics" were located.

Driven by an instinctive craving for food, Gao Lingfeng and the others almost instantly ceased their attacks, frantically scrambling for the falling grains of rice, stuffing them whole into their mouths.

Chewing, swallowing.

The next second, a miracle occurred!

The violent crimson mist around them visibly became slightly calmer and more contained, and although the mad crimson in their eyes had not completely receded, there was a hint of... clarity and confusion.

More importantly, they no longer attacked all nearby creatures indiscriminately, but instead began to focus their bloodthirsty gazes more on the Strange Beast, monsters, and Little devils.

The battle situation instantly improved!

"It... it worked?!"

The commander's mouth hung open, in disbelief.

Lu Chuan watched the scene, slowly exhaled, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

However, at this moment, the sky once again emitted a violent humming sound.

Immediately after, the "wind of heaven and earth" crack that spanned the sky suddenly expanded violently again.

There was not much time left until its final formation.

Lu Chuan looked at the pitch-black crack that connected heaven and earth, thinking worriedly:

"Can He Jingrui and the others... complete the mission?"

...Can we... really complete the mission?

Including Ban Yangming, the remaining dozen or so special operations personnel looked at the huge mother nest, which continuously produced Strange Beast, with despair.

Just the surrounding hordes of Strange Beast were already overwhelming them.

And they still had to destroy that mountain-like mother nest?

How could that possibly be done?!

Unbeknownst to them, a feeling of despair, confusion, and helplessness spread among everyone.

Some special operations team members with weaker wills, already severely injured, were further hit by this mental blow, and their consciousness became momentarily hazy.

The next moment, a wolf-dog-like Strange Beast seized the opportunity and lunged to bite his throat.

Just as this special operations team member was about to perish.

Slap!

The wolf-dog-like Strange Beast was blasted apart in mid-air by a punch from He Jingrui.

"Everyone, pull yourselves together!"

He Jingrui roared, then, disregarding his worsening injuries, he forcefully mustered his physical strength and unleashed the seven-layered Nameless Fist Technique against the large group of Strange Beast that swarmed him.

A shower of blood immediately appeared before everyone.

The bloody scene instantly ignited the ferocity in everyone's hearts!

"Damn it! Even if we can't destroy it, I'll bite that son of a bitch with my teeth to make a hole in it!"

Li Xing rolled up his sleeves, furiously firing his heavy machine gun while cursing angrily.

Ban Yangming chimed in, his usually refined face now contorted with ferocity.

"That's right, let's screw these Strange Beast's mothers! Smash that mother nest! Brothers, follow me! Kill!!"
