Chapter 588: The Strange Woman
Su Chen blinked, thinking he had misheard.
"You're saying that person with invisibility powers came in just to steal a piece of meat?"
"Yes, Commander. She was originally one of the survivors we brought back, and her invisibility ability managed to evade our radar detection, but she couldn't escape the Hunting Dog's eyes and was caught directly."
Tanya's expression was also somewhat peculiar; she didn't seem to expect someone to risk getting caught just for a piece of meat. Didn't she know the consequences of being caught?
Indeed, this person was a woman.
Before long, Su Chen saw the woman. She looked decent, but her skin was deteriorating.
"My invisibility can even evade the world's most powerful detectors. How could you possibly have detected me?" Even now, the woman didn't believe that she had been discovered. She considered it an insult to her superpower.
"Don't be so absolute in your statements. So, you infiltrated here just to steal a piece of meat?" Su Chen looked at the woman with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, it's true. I haven't tasted meat since two years ago. The meat granules you give us taste too good. I just couldn't resist..." At this point, the woman seemed to feel somewhat guilty, and her voice lowered considerably.
"Tanya, give her ten pounds of meat and let her go."Tanya was taken aback. She thought the Commander would order her to eliminate this intruder, but she didn't expect him to let her go and even give her ten pounds of meat.
However, the advantage of being in the Red Alert faction was that even if they didn't understand, they would still follow orders.
Su Chen's decision wasn't an act of kindness but rather because System had suddenly chimed in, "Master, this person's soul is somewhat unusual. She is not from this planet."
It was System's reminder that prevented Su Chen from killing the person who dared to infiltrate the Red Alert Base.
After the woman was taken away, Su Chen inquired, "What's her situation?"
A woman whose soul attracted the attention of System was definitely not ordinary.
"In general, there is only one situation like this, and that is when her soul and body are not originally matched, causing her soul to be somewhat disoriented. Master, you can think of it this way: that woman's soul has possessed that body."
Su Chen's gaze hardened, and the term "possession" made him think of someone, Emperor MingZhu Hui!
He was one of Su Chen's few friends on Earth, but his body had been occupied by Death Reaper Les, and for now, Su Chen couldn't extract Les's consciousness. Zhu Hui's consciousness remained dormant.
Su Chen had just seen it very clearly: the woman was just an ordinary person, not a Transcendent. Her superpower was merely a mutation induced by Nuclear Radiation, with no real combat abilities.
Yet, such a woman had her soul occupy someone else's body, and judging by her appearance, she probably didn't even know about it.
"Have we found any other cases like this?"
"Not yet."
Su Chen pondered for a moment and specifically instructed Tanya to keep a close eye on this woman. With Tanya's strength and teleportation abilities, she could easily monitor her.
"Could this woman be related to the mastermind behind the creation of this Earth, or is she just an accident?"
Since arriving on Yan Yun Star, Su Chen had noticed that there were more and more mysteries, many of which exceeded his imagination.
For instance, the prophecy left by the Former Ghost Clan—why did it have a picture of Libra on it?
And then there was Earth, how could there be two almost identical Earths in the universe?
What puzzled him the most was why the Qiluo Civilization, which was at the pinnacle of human strength, had been destroyed so easily. Even if they were besieged by other human forces, at least some people should have escaped, right?
So far, he hadn't seen a living member of the Qiluo Civilization. The only one who might still be alive was probably hiding on that Warship from the beginning, and she might be hiding somewhere on Earth now. This worried Su Chen.
According to Yun Ru's research, it would take several more months to upgrade the Hyperspace Teleportation Device to the point where it could directly teleport to Earth. This was only possible with the technical support of the Qiluo Civilization. Otherwise, it would be a dream.
Su Chen shook his head, thinking too much was pointless. He only needed to strengthen himself, so he would be able to face everything when the time came.
"Build the navy with all your might and head toward the Zerg Hive."
Under Su Chen's orders, numerous shipyards were built, and aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers appeared on the water's surface like dumplings falling into a pot. Giant Squids and Dolphins also appeared in large numbers.
The grand finale included Typhoon-class submarines, Thunder Submarines, Akula submarines, and Longspear Mini Submarines, all of them making their debut.
Furthermore, Su Chen went all out this time, deploying the ace up his sleeve that had been guarding the base: the Super Fortress!
The Super Fortress could go airborne and underwater, and it was incredibly powerful, with the only drawback being its relatively slow speed.
But that wasn't a significant issue when attacking the Zerg Hive.
As Red Alert Base was comprehensively constructing the navy, the Zerg Hive seemed to be gathering its underwater forces, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Red Alert Base.
Due to the barrier of seawater, spy satellites couldn't detect the precise location of the underwater Zerg, and it was only possible to spot them when they approached the water's surface.
"We have Invaders. The invaded bases include the 9th Sub-base, the 14th Sub-base..."
System reported many sub-bases, and at a glance, there were no fewer than 10 sub-bases under attack!
As the first line of defense in the water, Giant Squids and Dolphins were already engaged in battle with the underwater Zerg.
It had to be said that the underwater Zerg's strength exceeded their expectations. Giant Squid's tentacle attacks were barely affecting them, and only the sonar weapons on the Dolphins could harm them.
"Submarines, engage, fire torpedoes freely."
The first line of defense was quickly breached, and the submarines that had already been built fired torpedoes directly.
The powerful torpedoes collided with the underwater Zerg, creating a surge of waves on the sea's surface. Meanwhile, the fleets that had been completed also began launching torpedoes into the water. Torpedoes were not the exclusive domain of submarines.
The bombers on the aircraft carriers were all converted into torpedo planes, carrying torpedoes and dropping them directly into the areas with the most Zerg. There were occasional loud explosions in the ocean, and the water was stained with color.
"If it were an ordinary shipyard, it probably wouldn't hold up," Su Chen said with a smirk.
His Red Alert Base could rapidly build any unit, making it an unreasonably powerful force. If the Zerg Hive followed its usual tactics against humans, it would definitely suffer.
At this moment, Ju Ling spoke up, "Commander, will the Zerg Hive stay in that location indefinitely, or has it already moved elsewhere?"
Su Chen suddenly realized. Yes, the Zerg Hive had its own intelligence, and it was highly likely that it had relocated to another place. So, where would it be now? (To be continued...)
