The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Of course, before anything else, they needed to gain control of the Earth.

A week had passed swiftly, and on this day, the Zerg Hive finally made contact with the Parasitic Species!

"All children who have reached the Seventh Order in strength, return immediately."

Utilizing the unique communication method of the Zerg, the Zerg Hive transmitted this message directly to the minds of all Seventh Order Zerg on the planet. Parasitic Species immediately reached out to Su Chen.

"Commander, the Zerg Hive has contacted me. It's instructing all Seventh Order Zerg to gather at its location."

Su Chen's eyes lit up. After waiting for so long, the Zerg Hive was finally making a move.

He opened the map and quickly located the spot representing the Parasitic Species.

Parasitic Species was moving at great speed and, within two hours, had stopped at a specific location.

"Zoom in on that location."

On the screen, they saw a plateau region, with altitudes generally exceeding four to five thousand meters, covered in snow and ice.

"I never expected the Zerg Hive to hide in a place like this. They certainly know how to find a secluded spot," Su Chen said with a cold smile.

The complex environment of the plateau, combined with the frigid weather, made it exceptionally challenging to locate the Zerg. Even SpySatellites couldn't reveal the underground conditions there.

Now that they had found the Zerg Hive's location, Su Chen immediately ordered his subordinates to move out. This time, they would completely eliminate the Zerg Hive and take control of this planet.

Unaware that its location had been discovered, the Zerg Hive had no idea that there existed such a unique entity as the Parasitic Species in the world.

Parasitic Species sped on until it reached beneath an icy cave.

In the dim and deep cave, there was a massive entity that somewhat resembled a hive; it was the Zerg Hive.

Around the Zerg Hive were various eggs in various stages of incubation, and this was where the Zerg were born.

Parasitic Species wasn't the first Zerg to arrive here. It lay silently on the ground, unmoving, knowing that its mission would be completed when the Red Alert army arrived.

Soon, the remaining Seventh Order Zerg arrived. The total number of Seventh Order Zerg on the planet did not exceed a hundred, indicating how weak this planet had been initially, leading the Zerg Hive to decide that it didn't need to produce Zerg of the Eighth Order or higher.

"Children, a powerful enemy has come to this planet. It's time for you to dedicate yourselves," the Zerg Hive's voice was gentle, but the words it spoke made Parasitic Species feel uneasy.

Dedicate themselves?

Wasn't that a euphemism for sending them to their deaths?

How could this be allowed?

But here, Parasitic Species didn't dare to make any move. Its strength was calculated based on the species it had parasitized, which meant that its current strength was only at the peak of the Seventh Order.

At this moment, the Zerg in the front began to orderly walk towards the Zerg Hive. The Zerg Hive extended something resembling a large tube from its body, enveloping the approaching Zerg and then swallowing them.

This was the dedication!

Zergs were produced by the Zerg Hive, and they represented energy. Therefore, the Zerg Hive could naturally replenish its energy by recycling Zergs.

Under what circumstances would the Zerg Hive recycle Zergs to replenish its energy?

There was only one possibility: it needed to produce powerful Zergs, but its internal energy was insufficient.

"Commander, we need to act quickly. The Zerg Hive is preparing to recycle Zergs to create a more powerful one!" Parasitic Species anxiously called out.

Su Chen remained composed. "This Zerg Hive is at most Ninth-level Peak. The Zergs it can produce won't surpass its own strength. There's no need to worry."

"Is that so? But this Zerg Hive gives me a feeling... like it might be more than just Ninth-level Peak," Parasitic Species remarked oddly.

"Are you sure?" Su Chen's face subtly changed.

"Ju Ling and her team are at the Small Galaxy Second Stage in terms of strength. I felt pressure when facing them, but in front of this Zerg Hive, it's more than just pressure. If it weren't for being parasitic on this Zerg, I doubt I could get close to it."

Upon hearing Parasitic Species' words, Su Chen suddenly realized something he had overlooked.

The Zerg Hive wasn't stuck on this planet due to its low strength. What if... it crash-landed here due to heavy damage?

In this scenario, given the Zerg Hive's inherent characteristics, it could still produce Zerg that surpassed its current stage. The key question was what level the Zerg Hive was before it suffered significant damage, and that was a problem.

"We can't afford to dawdle. Let's use the Hyperspace Teleportation Device and go straight up!"

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Su Chen decisively used the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, instantly teleporting over ten thousand Red Alert units to the underground ice cave.

Even the Zerg Hive was stunned by this sudden turn of events. It hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, so many humans would appear.

The Red Alert army didn't hesitate; they unleashed all their weapons and opened fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A massive explosion rocked the cave, nearly destroying it. If it weren't for the reinforcement the Zerg Hive had done here, it would likely have collapsed instantly.

The Zerg Hive screamed in agony, and the Seventh Order Zerg charged forward even faster, devouring a multitude of Zerg along the way, leaving only one—the Parasitic Species.

"Child, what are you waiting for? Come here!" The Zerg Hive could no longer maintain its gentle demeanor and shouted sternly.

Even the Zerg Hive itself was puzzled. It had absolute control over its offspring and had never encountered such disobedience. What was going on?

The Parasitic Species, of course, didn't obey. It directly controlled the Zerg's body and came to the front of the Red Alert army, where Ju Ling and others stood.

"Parasitic Species, well done," Ju Ling nodded slightly.

"Hehe, it's nothing, Chief. Just be careful; this Zerg Hive is no pushover," Parasitic Species cautioned.

Ju Ling was well aware that the Zerg Hive before her was formidable. The moment she appeared, she could feel the pressure emanating from it. This indicated that the Zerg Hive's strength exceeded hers, despite being at the Small Galaxy Second Stage. What level was this Zerg Hive?

"It's impossible! How did you humans manage to control my offspring without me noticing?!" The Zerg Hive's voice was filled with shock and anger.

Zerg always believed they were superior to humans, with absolute control over their Zerg underlings. It was impossible for humans to control Zerg and evade detection. Even if they did manage to control Zerg, those Zerg lacked intelligence and wouldn't leak any information.

After years of fighting humans, the Zerg Hive had never encountered such a situation.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to the Zerg Hive—it must find out how humans controlled its offspring and remained undetected. This information was crucial and could impact the entire Zerg species! (To be continued...)
