The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Seven days had quickly passed, and all the actions of the Super Soldiers concerning the "Super Soldiers" had been gradually reported to him, albeit with some time delay.

According to the reports, they had already landed on three different planets and established three bases. From these bases, they were gradually advancing to conquer their surroundings.

Similar to the situation on Yan Yun Star, all three planets had experienced various troubles, be it natural disasters, human conflicts, or even the appearance of certain races from the universe. Essentially, all three planets were engulfed in chaos.

Su Chen had discovered that the human planets he had found all displayed varying degrees of these issues. This left him perplexed, as he wondered what could be causing these peculiar circumstances.

Why were only human planets affected like this, with Winged Clan Mother Star seemingly unaffected?

Was this a calamity specific to humans?

The specifics of the situation remained a mystery, with even the inhabitants of the three planets being unaware of the multitude of events occurring.

After a brief investigation, the Super Soldiers discovered that the strongest power on these three planets was only at the level of Small Galaxy Third Order. With their strength, taking control of these three planets was merely a matter of time.

"So, it seems that controlling these three planets shouldn't take more than a month, which is quite good."

For most people, controlling a planet within a month was unthinkable, but Su Chen considered this pace to be nothing more than average.

In less than half a year, the Dream Shadow Clan would descend upon Earth. Faced with this peculiar race, Su Chen couldn't afford to have any sense of complacency.

Even the Winged Clan had powerful beings at the Large Galaxy level, so Su Chen couldn't believe that the Dream Shadow Clan would send anything less than a Small Galaxy or perhaps even a Large Galaxy-level expert.

If he didn't have Large Galaxy-level strength at that time, the outcome would be hard to predict.

While Su Chen pondered these matters, the System's long-awaited voice finally rang out, "Red Alert system version 0 is online. Master, it's been a while."

"Don't waste time. Give me the direct details. What new features does this update bring?" This was what Su Chen was most concerned about.

The System was straightforward, saying, "This update reconfigures the values of Energy Points. The previous ten thousand points have now been reduced to one point. As you gain control of more planets, your Energy Points will easily exceed one billion, which is quite inconvenient for calculations."

Su Chen nodded, as he had noticed this change. Now, even a casual use of Energy Points started in the tens of millions, with all those extra zeros being mere decoration.

"Secondly, it increases the communication range between Master and your troops. Regardless of where your Red Alert units are, you can contact them."

"Third, all permissions in the first sequence have been enhanced. Please check the specifics for yourself."

"Fourth, after this incident, the System has noticed a deficiency in your personal strength, and it has specially activated the Training Room, exclusively for your use. Please take a look for more details."

"Fifth, from now on, in every battle, you can choose whether you want to personally control it. The control mode will be based on Red Alert gameplay that you're familiar with."

It had to be said that many of these updates were highly favorable for Su Chen. The reconfiguration of Energy Points values and the increased communication range with his troops were practical improvements. The enhancement of permissions in the first sequence effectively bolstered the combat power of the Red Alert Base.

However, Su Chen was taken aback by the concept of the Training Room. Why would a Commander like him need training?

Unfortunately, the System wasn't open to debate, and Su Chen knew it was pointless to argue, so he remained silent.

The final point, however, brought a glint to his eye. The idea of turning every battle into a familiar gaming experience excited him. It was as if he would be playing Red Alert himself.

Just the thought of that scenario filled him with a sense of exhilaration.

"System, is there a battle available right now? Adjust one for me immediately," Su Chen couldn't wait to try it out.

Surprisingly, the System responded, "The Training Room is a top priority. Master must complete the first requirement of the Training Room before engaging in battle mode."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Alright, where is the Training Room?"

Su Chen had never heard of a Training Room in the Red Alert Base.

"The entrance to the Training Room is right there."

The next moment, Su Chen saw an arrow appear in front of him, pointing towards a corner in the Command Room. In that corner, a door had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"That's strange. I don't remember there being a door here before," Su Chen remarked with suspicion as he walked over to inspect the sudden appearance of the door.

He trusted that the System wouldn't harm him, so he opened the door directly. A blinding light forced him to shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself standing in an entirely white space, devoid of any surroundings.

"System, is this the Training Room? Why is there nothing here? What are we training for in this empty space?"

"Master, despite your formidable power, your application of it is lacking. Dealing with opponents of lower strength is manageable, but when facing opponents of equal or greater power, it can lead to trouble. This training is specifically designed to address Master's weakness in this aspect. So, get ready for some intense sparring."

The System had just finished speaking when Su Chen spotted a figure before him, none other than Guangtou Qiang.

However, this Guangtou Qiang had a cold and ruthless demeanor, a far cry from the one Su Chen remembered.

As soon as Guangtou Qiang saw Su Chen, he immediately rushed forward, throwing a powerful punch that generated a massive energy wave.

"Guangtou Qiang, what are you doing? Stop!" Su Chen exclaimed, his voice filled with shock and anger.

But Guangtou Qiang completely disregarded Su Chen's words and landed a heavy punch on him, sending him flying.

"Argh!"

Pain coursed through Su Chen's entire body. If he hadn't borrowed the physical strength of Guangtou Qiang a moment ago through consciousness, that punch might have brought him down.

"By the way, Master, I forgot to mention that this Guangtou Qiang is not the real one from outside; he's just a counterfeit generated by the Training Room, but he should be sufficient for your training," System's voice explained.

"I knew it. The real one wouldn't dare to do this!" Su Chen grumbled. He stood up, his eyes filled with determination. This intense, unrelenting combat had ignited his fighting spirit.

"Come on, let's fight!"

After a while, there was a soft sound, and Su Chen was sprawled in the Command Room, with no intention of getting up.

The battle with the virtual Guangtou Qiang in the Training Room had been brutal, and Su Chen had truly experienced what it meant to face the most ruthless opponent. Even when using all his abilities, he still suffered a beating.

Guangtou Qiang wasn't the only one; the System had prepared counterfeits of all his subordinates. This experience made Su Chen realize how terrifying it was to be their enemy.

"I'd rather starve or jump off a cliff than set foot in the Training Room again!" (To be continued...)
