The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Jinya burst into wild laughter, convinced that under his relentless firepower, the old man Lu Gang was surely doomed.

But when the gunfire ceased, he witnessed an unbelievable sight.

Every bullet was blocked by a semi-transparent membrane surrounding Lu Gang!

"What... what is this?" Jinya exclaimed in bewilderment.

Lu Gang, though inwardly sweating, maintained a cold smirk on his face. "This is the latest technology from Red Alert Base, called the Psychic Shield. It can withstand any attack. Since I am the temporary commander for this operation, Commander himself graciously granted me one."

Jinya, refusing to give up, continued to fire all the bullets from his gun, but Lu Gang remained unharmed.

As long as Lu Gang survived, his dream of becoming the City Lord was virtually impossible.

"Jinya has violated the laws of Red Alert Base by harming a comrade. He will be sentenced to death. Are you all certain that you want to die with him?" Lu Gang shouted to the people behind Jinya without even looking at him.

If Jinya had succeeded in killing Lu Gang, perhaps those people would have had different thoughts. However, now that Jinya had failed, they immediately made the right choice.

With a swift motion, a dagger was thrust into Jinya's heart from behind, a fatal blow dealt by someone close to him.

As Jinya died, the people behind him set their firearms aside, awaiting Lu Gang's judgment.

Surprisingly, Lu Gang did not kill them on the spot. Instead, he ordered them to serve as the vanguard and face the first wave of Zerg.

Many survivors picked up weapons and boarded large transport aircraft, which would transport them to various battlefields to fight against the Zerg.

Before Su Chen's eyes, several interfaces appeared, displaying the current battlefields between Red Alert Base and the Zerg. It was evident that Red Alert Base had the upper hand, and the Zerg were steadily retreating.

If only Su Chen knew the exact location of the Zerg Hive, he would have wiped out all these Zerg without hesitation.

"Parasitic Species still hasn't made contact. Could it be that it hasn't encountered the Zerg Hive yet?" Su Chen found it strange. Regardless, the Parasitic Species, parasitizing the Zerg at the Seventh Order peak, was the most formidable power among the Zerg at this stage. Such a force couldn't be ignored.

Su Chen contacted the Parasitic Species and confirmed that the Zerg Hive had not contacted it.

Before long, the survivors were scattered across various battlefields, armed with the weapons provided by Red Alert Base, ready to confront the vast Zerg army!

Not everyone had witnessed a Zerg army of this magnitude, and many were dumbfounded by the massive creatures charging at them.

"Don't just stand there; start shooting!" Su Chen shouted.

In addition to the survivors, Red Alert Base had deployed some of its forces to suppress the Zerg. Otherwise, in the first wave of attacks, not a single survivor would have made it out alive.

Su Chen was only interested in finding the person hiding among them, not in killing everyone.

Ten minutes passed, and tens of thousands of survivors were killed or injured, mostly due to their own foolishness. There was no room for mercy on the battlefield; those who hesitated were swiftly devoured by the Zerg.

Some individuals were so terrified that they trembled uncontrollably, lacking the strength to even pull the trigger, and they perished the quickest.

Once they died, Su Chen no longer paid them any attention. He wanted to see those who could survive against all odds, not just once or twice.

"Alice, how's the analysis going?" Su Chen inquired, turning to Alice. He had tasked her with analyzing the battlefield to identify the person he was looking for.

Alice's data-filled eyes blinked as she replied, "Uncle, after the analysis, 1987 individuals narrowly escaped life-threatening situations, 4 individuals escaped two deadly crises, 1 individual escaped three times, and 1 individual escaped four times."

"Who is the person that escaped five times?" Su Chen's eyes lit up. It was not a matter of mere luck for an ordinary person to evade fatal crises five times.

"Correction, that person has already escaped five times. Please, Uncle, take a look at the interface."

In the half-suspended image, it instantly focused on one person. After seeing this person, Su Chen's expression turned somewhat peculiar. He remembered her. Wasn't she that bizarre woman who used her invisibility superpower to steal meat at the Base?

Could it be her?

Was she the mastermind behind the creation of this Planet?

Su Chen's gaze remained fixed on this woman. She was holding a standard AK-47, accurately hitting the Weaknesses of the Zerg with every shot, although she appeared disheveled, as if those bullets had just coincidentally found their mark.

Under Alice's data analysis, nothing about the woman's actions went unnoticed.

After one battle, this woman had evaded deadly crises ten times in total. If her luck ran out even once, she would die on the spot.

The second highest count was five times, attributed to a seemingly cold-hearted man, who was also on Su Chen's list of suspects.

In this battle, nearly half a million survivors were killed or injured. Considering there were only slightly over five million survivors in total, this was an unimaginable and catastrophic loss.

Lu Gang, after receiving the data, was nearly stunned. With such massive casualties, it was no wonder Red Alert Base had sent them into the fray; they seemed on the verge of collapse.

He deeply questioned whether his earlier speculations were wrong.

On the other side, Su Chen summoned the man and woman.

"Meng Lun, Yao Yifei, do you know why I called you here?" Su Chen's gaze was imposing as he looked at the two.

"I don't know," replied Meng Lun, his expression still icy. According to Alice's analysis, this guy was just poker-faced.

"I-I think I know. Is it because I took too much meat last time? I can return it," the woman said with reluctance.

Su Chen showed no emotion. On the surface, their performance seemed fine, and even his Psychic power hadn't detected anything amiss.

He didn't find it strange; someone capable of creating such a Planet wouldn't be easily penetrated by his Psychic power.

"I called you here this time to commend you. Both of you performed the best among all the survivors and have the highest achievements. What rewards do you want?"

Yao Yifei immediately shouted, "I want meat, lots of meat!"

Meng Lun remained calm, saying, "I need more powerful Weapons. I know Red Alert Base must have them!"

Su Chen's lips curled up; fulfilling their requests was straightforward.

"Yao Yifei, I grant you permission. From now on, you can collect ten pounds of meat daily from the warehouse, any type of meat is acceptable. Meng Lun, given your current achievements, obtaining large-scale Weapons is impossible. I can reward you with an Exoskeleton suit."

After casually granting them their rewards and seeing them off, Su Chen received an alert from the System: "Master, there is an Invader. The target is located on Yan Yun Star!" (To be continued...)
