My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 654 - 220 Another Dimension_3

On the second floor, Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s room was directly across from Ke Xing and his two grandchildren. Du Xixi opened the window a slight crack, so she heard everything Yiyi and Er Er said earlier, standing by the window.

Asking about mom? Sadly, mom doesn’t know where dad is either. Du Xixi clutched her hand over her heart, feeling utterly weak as she leaned against the window sill. She really missed Ke Lian, missed him very much...

***

In the interstellar realm, everyone missed Ke Lian and his team, who had been sucked into a wormhole, facing dire circumstances.

In a massive mountain cave, a patch of withered yellow straw covered the ground, and more than ten officers, including Ke Lian, lay unconscious on it, stained with blood. The only ones guarding them were Mo Feng and an officer named Chen Dan.

Though the cave was large inside, the entrance was just big enough to accommodate one adult male. Mo Feng and Chen Dan not only had to tend to Ke Lian and the others but also had to watch carefully for any danger appearing at the cave entrance.

"Mo Feng, what do you think we should do?" Chen Dan, whose combat skills were not as good as Mo Feng’s, specialized in battlefield analysis, which leaned more towards a civilian role, but he could still protect himself. "Marshal and the others still haven’t woken up."

That day, as they gathered to plan their next move, a wormhole suddenly appeared and sucked them in. Everything went black, making it impossible to see anything at all. Even when they tried to speak to those beside them, their words disappeared the instant they were uttered, as if they had suddenly become mute.

The situation unfolded so unexpectedly that all they could do was grasp onto each other as quickly as possible. Thanks to their silent understanding, when they found themselves in this unfamiliar place, not a single person was missing, which was fortunate in the midst of misfortune.

But even though everyone was accounted for, they couldn’t deny they were all panicking. This was a strangely safe world, with no signal on their Light Computers and their spiritual power seemed trapped, unable to be used. Even their bodies were oddly exhausted, so all their advantages seemed to have turned into disadvantages here.

Worse still, the first night they were attacked by a tall creature resembling the long-nosed beasts of the Insect Clan, but much larger—at least five meters long and three meters high. The upward and outwardly curling tusks were estimated to be more than a meter in length.

They barely escaped that attack by working together, but Ke Lian and the others were seriously injured. By the time they found this cave, they were too weak to stay conscious and collapsed from exhaustion.

Unfortunately, their medicine was stored in the Space Button, and without spiritual power, the Space Button couldn’t be used. Mo Feng and Chen Dan could only clean Ke Lian and the others’ wounds and carefully hide their trails.

Mo Feng was usually one of Ke Lian’s most capable subordinates, not only skilled but also having unique tactical insights. So Chen Dan wanted to know his thoughts. At this point, Chen Dan had no choice but to ask Mo Feng for his opinion.

Mo Feng gave a bitter smile, collapsing to the ground, mentally and physically exhausted from days of anxiety. "What can I do? We’ve traveled through a wormhole to a different time! Here, I might be less useful than you. At least you’re skilled in battlefield analysis and knowledgeable about utilizing terrain and surrounding resources."

"But that’s with interstellar terrain and resources," Mo Feng was at a loss, and so was Chen Dan. However, airing their frustrations would only further burden their spirits, so they might as well think of a way out.

Chen Dan looked out at the sky; it was the hottest part of the day. The temperature fluctuated bizarrely in this world, rising ever higher during the day and plummeting to below freezing at night. If it weren’t for the protective fabric of their military uniforms, this fickle weather might have overwhelmed them.

"I’m thinking of going out later to have a look." Chen Dan straightened up. From his angle, he could see the riverbank in the distance, where an unknown animal was drinking water. However, it was too far away to make out clearly. "We can’t just sit here and wait to die; we don’t have much food."

By habit, every soldier carried thirty Nutrition Supplements with them since few could afford Space Buttons. The Nutrition Supplements were stored in specially made, sturdy pockets close to their bodies, designed to be robust and not easily broken.

Importantly, these specially formulated Nutrition Supplements were made to order. Ordinary Nutrition Supplements required a soldier to consume three or four a day, but a single Military Department-made Supplement was enough even for someone with an appetite like Ke Lian’s; most soldiers couldn’t finish one in a single day, leaving some for later.

In the days that followed, Chen Dan and Mo Feng relied on these Nutrition Supplements to fill their bellies and regularly fed them to Ke Lian and the others to prevent starvation during their unconsciousness. Under such circumstances, their carried Nutrition Supplements proved crucial. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Though the environment was unfamiliar with many potential dangers, Mo Feng had to admit that Chen Dan’s decision was the best. If they stayed there, with Nutrition Supplements and the river nearby, they wouldn’t starve or die of thirst, but with only one entrance and exit to the cave, if another animal showed up like before, they’d be cornered with no escape, dragging along more than ten unconscious people.
