The Last Commander of the Red Alert

A large number of Red Alert units and weapons gradually entered the other side of the Space Channel. For safety reasons, Su Chen did not follow them but instead assigned Yun Ru and Taru as responsible individuals on the other side.

No matter what, the safety of the Commander always took precedence, and they couldn't allow the Commander to be in danger.

Yun Ru would send a soldier over to report the situation every hour, allowing Su Chen to stay informed about various intelligence on the other side.

On Yan Yun Star, there were only two threats left from the Cosmic Behemoth, and Big White Rabbit was elusive, making its location impossible to determine. However, Alice was rapidly calculating the exact position of the Spectral Moth.

According to Alice's calculations, the Spectral Moth was currently in a semi-dormant state, only capable of passive hunting and counterattacks, unable to launch an active assault unless it fully awakened.

As long as they found the Spectral Moth's location and used Weapons that could kill it in one blow, there was a greater than eighty percent chance of success.

At this point, Su Chen had to consider the rewards for completing the main mission on Yan Yun Star.

Five hundred million Energy Points would significantly bolster his Energy Points reserves.

Five chances for Cocoon Evolution were incredibly special opportunities that could instantly multiply the strength of Super Soldiers. Among all the Super Soldiers, Ju Ling had the greatest strength because she had undergone Cocoon Evolution once before.

The remaining five Cocoon Evolution opportunities were granted directly to Tanya, Yun Ru, and Libra. Since Libra had a dual personality, it required two Cocoon Evolution opportunities.

With this arrangement, there was still one Cocoon Evolution opportunity left, and Su Chen's gaze fell on Lily. She was a recently constructed Super Soldier and, in terms of real contributions, ranked at the bottom among all the Super Soldiers.

While Su Chen intended to focus on cultivating Super Soldiers, he didn't believe it was fair for a Super Soldier with minimal contributions to receive the same rewards as others.

"Lily, to enhance the overall strength, I will give you this Cocoon Evolution opportunity, but you must contribute in a way that justifies this reward. Don't disappoint me in the future."

Su Chen intended to grant the Cocoon Evolution to Lily, but it meant that Lily would undoubtedly have more responsibilities in the future and would need to make significant contributions to deserve this reward.

"Lily won't disappoint the Commander!" Lily said with a serious expression, bowing respectfully.

Immediately, all five Cocoon Evolution opportunities were used. Four powerful auras erupted, only to subside in the blink of an eye.

There were no problems on Yan Yun Star, but the issue seemed to be on the other side of the Space Channel. Yun Ru's strength suddenly surged, attracting the attention of something.

Su Chen once again looked at the next reward: five chances to modify evolution templates and increase potential.

Evolution templates had always been something special among various units.

Only a small number of units possessed evolution templates, and so far, Su Chen had no more than few evolution templates in his possession, with most of them belonging to Super Soldiers. It was difficult for ordinary units to obtain evolution templates.

According to the System, ordinary units with evolution templates could be trained as if they were Super Soldiers.

"System, are these five opportunities separate or combined?"

"They are separate. I recommend that Master doesn't need to use evolution template modification opportunities for now and should consider using potential increase opportunities instead."

The System's recommendations were generally reliable. Su Chen shifted his focus away from the former and onto the potential increase opportunities.

"How do I increase potential?"

"Master just needs to click on the evolution template and increase it manually. However, each opportunity can only increase potential by one point. Master should use them wisely."

Su Chen could clearly discern the importance of potential. After all, the benefits of potential were readily apparent, especially for those whose strength had reached the Small Galaxy level.

The most noticeable example was the new evolution trait that appeared on Wang Chun's evolution template, which directly increased his physical prowess by 7.5 times. This was the result of unlocking his potential.

Su Chen roughly examined the evolution templates he held and was surprised to find that the unit with the highest potential wasn't one of his Super Soldiers but someone he hadn't expected—Dahua!

Dahua's potential was an astonishing 8.5, nearly reaching the maximum score of 9. This level of potential was terrifying. If Dahua's potential was increased to the maximum of 9, how powerful would he become?

Even though Dahua was far away on Earth, this method of directly increasing potential would still affect him. However, Su Chen couldn't enhance Dahua's abilities from such a distance; he would have to wait until he returned to Earth to elevate Dahua to the Small Galaxy level. Only then would Dahua exhibit his unique evolution traits.

With this in mind, Su Chen decisively used one potential increase opportunity on Dahua.

In that instant, Dahua, who was enjoying his life as a beast Emperor on Earth, suddenly raised his head, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

"Could it be that the Commander misses me?" Dahua couldn't help but wonder. He glanced at his harem, wore a satisfied smile, and went back to sleep.

Su Chen was unaware of Dahua's thoughts. If he knew that Dahua was living a life of leisure on Earth, he might have given him a mining order with a single command.

Su Chen could see that Dahua's potential had increased from the original 8.5 to 9. Although 0.5 potential had been wasted, for Dahua, it was undoubtedly worth it. After all, Dahua had the highest potential value among Su Chen's units, and he needed to be well taken care of.

Next in line for potential were Ju Ling, with a potential of 8.4, which had also increased to 9.

After Dahua and Ju Ling, the remaining three were Yun Ru, Libra, and Tanya.

All four of his Super Soldiers had their potential increased to the maximum, and they clearly felt a boost in their abilities. This left them puzzled, and the only explanation they could think of was the Commander's intervention.

The last reward was the one Su Chen valued the most.

The temporary superweapon fusion opportunity!

He couldn't use this right now because it was a temporary resource. Su Chen would need to save it for when he faced the Cosmic Behemoth. When all five superweapons were fused together, Su Chen couldn't even begin to imagine the level of devastation they could unleash.

Just then, Yun Ru's voice came through, "Commander, our base is under attack."

"Who's the enemy?"

"Zerg."

Su Chen's expression shifted. Zerg on the other side of the Space Channel? It seemed implausible. This world, filled with nuclear radiation, should belong to a technological planet, not one infested with the Zerg.

The Zerg's strength was something Su Chen had only gleaned from the limited information left behind by the Qiluo Civilization. They were a powerful race capable of rivaling humans in the universe. Could it be that the other side of the Space Channel was in the territory of the Zerg? (To be continued...)
