The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Leng Yuwei took out a map from her pocket, which showed the general terrain of the surrounding area and marked the danger levels in some places. Su Chen took a quick look and saw that the highest level was 5, while the lowest was 1.

"The danger levels are based on the level of Mutant Beasts in the area. Level 1 means there is only a first-order Mutant Beast there, and there are hardly any second-order Mutant Beasts. Of course, I can't guarantee that every division is correct, as there may be conflicts between Mutant Beasts, and another Mutant Beast may take over the area after a while."

Leng Yuwei explained clearly, and Su Chen understood that even before the Apocalypse, animals would still have a survival of the fittest mentality, let alone after the mutation.

"How much?" Su Chen asked.

Leng Yuwei waved her hand. "You saved my life, so what's a map? I'll give it to you."

In fact, a detailed map was very important to a team, and Leng Yuwei was just downplaying its value.

After they ordered their food, Su Chen and Leng Yuwei sat at the same table with their companions, while Su Chen's subordinates sat at another table. When the food arrived, Red Alert Soldier ate everything at lightning speed, leaving the plates cleaner than if they had been washed. The people around them were stunned, wondering if they hadn't eaten in days.

Su Chen didn't mind. For Red Alert Soldier, eating was just a necessary way to replenish energy, and they couldn't waste time on it. Therefore, they ate their food as quickly as possible.

Su Chen looked at the dishes, which were mostly made from Mutant Beast meat, and they tasted pretty good.

After the meal, Su Chen stood up and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. If anyone bothers you, you can mention my name."

When he first entered the Gathering Place, he sensed that Leng Yuwei might have offended someone, most likely one of the three giants of the Gathering Place. Guangtou Qiang had already been killed by him, so it was unlikely to be him. It was probably one of the other two.

He probably wouldn't come back here for a while, and when he did, he might see Leng Yuwei's body. After all, she was the first person he met in this world, and she was a beautiful woman. He should take care of her as much as he could.

Before Leng Yuwei could react, Su Chen had already left. She knew what Su Chen's words meant. With Su Chen's name, no one would dare to bully her here.

"Waiter, the bill please."

"507 Hope Coins in total, but you can pay 500 Hope Coins and keep the change," the waiter said with a smile.

"Ah, Su Chen, you bastard!" Leng Yuwei shouted, and Su Chen heard her from afar. He knew the food wasn't cheap, and he was worried that she would ask him for money if he didn't leave earlier.

When they came in, many people looked at them greedily, but when they left the Gathering Place, no one looked at them that way anymore. Su Chen had proven that they were stronger than the three giants of the Gathering Place.

When the other two giants of the Gathering Place learned that Su Chen had left, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Su Chen would replace Guangtou Qiang, but now it seemed that he had no such intention.

"Guangtou Qiang's territory is ours now that he's dead."

After leaving the Gathering Place, Su Chen and his soldiers returned to the city where he lived. Standing here, he felt a sense of nostalgia, as this was the place where he had lived for decades, even though it was just a parallel world.

"System, what are the requirements for deploying the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)?"

"You just need a flat piece of land, preferably with minerals nearby for easy transportation of ore and to increase energy."

In Red Alert, the minerals transported by the ore trucks would turn into gold coins, but here they were all converted into energy.

Thinking of minerals, Su Chen remembered that there was a large coal mine near the city, but it couldn't be developed on a large scale because it was too close to the city, which hindered the city's development.

Excited, Su Chen led his soldiers to the location of the coal mine in his memory. He finally saw a construction site-like place, surrounded by walls that had been damaged in many places, revealing the inside.

It was a large open-pit mine, filled with dark coal. Su Chen's eyes lit up, as all of this was energy!

"Are you sure you want to deploy the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) here, Master?" the system asked.

Just as Su Chen was about to agree, he thought of a question. "If I build a second MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle), can I establish a secondary base?"

"Yes, but the core required to build the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) must be provided by the Master."

"Core? What's that?"

Su Chen was confused, as he didn't know that building an MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) in Red Alert required a core.

"Only an MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) with a core can establish a secondary base and be directly controlled by the Master. An MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) without a core is just a simple tank and cannot form a secondary base."

"Okay, how do I get the core?"

"By killing Mutant Beasts, there is a certain probability of obtaining a core."

Su Chen rolled his eyes. This kind of probability-based thing was the most unreliable. He turned his attention back to the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle).

Although he had deployed the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) many times in the game, this was the first time he had seen it in person.

"Deploy the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)."

With Su Chen's words, a heavy-duty tank the size of a large truck appeared in front of him, much larger than in the game.

"This is the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle), but how big is it when it's deployed?"

With the system's reminder, Su Chen stepped back fifty meters before deploying the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle).

With a loud rumble, the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle), which didn't look very big, unfolded into a base that covered an area of 500 square meters!

What appeared in front of Su Chen was a building full of high-tech features, with a metallic sheen on the surface and many weapons on it, looking quite terrifying.

"It seems different from the game, isn't it?"

"Master, the game is just a game. Real bases are not that simple. Now, this system will introduce the relevant information about the base to the Master..."

According to the system, this MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) was the only one the system had, and it didn't distinguish between countries. As long as it existed in Red Alert, the system could produce it.

Su Chen rubbed his hands together, thinking that the next step after deploying the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) was to build a power plant. However, when he saw the price of the power plant, his mouth twitched.

"A power plant costs me 800 energy? Why don't you just go rob someone!"
