The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 3: Killing the Mutant Dog

Three Red Alert soldiers walked in a line, each holding an AK-47. Upon Su Yi's command, they opened fire without hesitation.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the air like a roaring tiger, as countless bullets flew towards the mutated dog.

"Woof!"

The mutated dog let out a roar of anger as the bullets, stronger than before, caused it even more pain.

Even a second-tier Mutant Beast couldn't completely ignore firearms. If a gun was fired repeatedly at the same spot, it could penetrate its fur defense.

The mutated dog howled and charged towards the three soldiers.

Seeing that their AK-47s were ineffective, Su Yi made a gesture and the other two soldiers put down their guns and drew their knives. They were going to fight in close combat!

Su Chen remained calm on the surface, but he was anxious inside. Facing such a terrifying Mutant Beast, close combat was risky.

The system reassured Su Chen, "Please rest assured, every Red Alert soldier has initial strength comparable to a king of soldiers in the human world. According to the strength classification of this world, they are considered first-tier peak. It's not difficult for them to deal with a newly promoted second-tier Mutant Beast."

"How is strength classified in this world?" Su Chen asked.

"Most people are ordinary people below first-tier. Only those who have reached first-tier are considered to have entered the path of the extraordinary. Some people who surpass ordinary people are called superhumans. The highest level is ninth-tier, but no ninth-tier human has appeared on Earth yet."

Su Chen thought of the setting in Red Alert, where each soldier could advance by killing enemies, with a maximum of three tiers. So, his soldiers could only reach a peak of fourth tier?

The system rejected his idea, "Master, this system is not what you know. There is no limit to the growth of soldiers, but there is a small bottleneck at the fourth-tier peak. Once they cross it, they can continue to advance."

"What bottleneck?" Su Chen asked.

"The system cannot tell you now. Only when one of your soldiers reaches the fourth-tier peak can you find out."

As Su Chen and the system were talking, Su Yi and the two soldiers swiftly attacked the mutated dog. Su Yi attracted the attention of the Mutant Beast, while the other two attacked from the side.

The three soldiers moved quickly, and if it were before the Apocalypse, they would have been world-class sprinters.

The mutated dog opened its huge mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. Its mouth looked big enough to bite off a person's head. Most people would have been scared, but Su Yi remained calm and stabbed the dog's chin with his knife.

Ding!

The knife did not penetrate the mutated dog's chin. Instead, it clashed with its teeth, creating sparks. The mutated dog's teeth were almost as hard as the knife.

Su Yi retreated calmly, and the other two soldiers took the opportunity to stab the mutated dog.

The mutated dog screamed in pain as the knife penetrated its fur defense!

Each Red Alert soldier's knife was specially made to harm second-tier Mutant Beasts, which Su Chen had just learned.

The three soldiers continued to create numerous wounds on the mutated dog, causing it to become afraid and try to escape.

"We can't let it get away!" One of the four suddenly shouted, his eyes flashing with greed as he fired his gun.

Su Chen's face darkened. His soldiers were in front of him!

Before Su Chen could act, Leng Yuwei punched the man in the face. "Do you want to die? Can't you see there are people in front of you? Get lost, you're no longer part of my Rose Squad!"

The man fell to the ground, looking at Su Chen with resentment. He picked up his gun and ran away without saying a word.

"Commander, should we...?" Su Si asked softly, making a throat-slitting gesture.

For all Red Alert soldiers, disrespect towards the commander was considered an enemy, and enemies had to be eliminated!

Su Chen hesitated for a second, then nodded.

He knew that letting someone who was hostile towards him go was foolish. Even if he spared him, the man would not be grateful.

Su Si left quietly and was not discovered.

The rest of the battle went smoothly. The three Red Alert soldiers easily defeated the second-tier Mutant Beast, showing Leng Yuwei and her team Su Chen's combat power.

"Master, the enemy has been eliminated. Please give further instructions!" Su Yi led Su Er and Su San, looking respectful as they stood in front of Su Chen, with the mutated dog's body behind them.

"Um..." Su Chen pondered. He didn't know what use a Mutant Beast had. Could he eat its meat?

The Red Alert system could create soldiers, but it couldn't create food out of thin air. He needed a lot of food to survive.

"The Mutant Beast can be recycled and the system can absorb its energy and convert it into Red Alert energy. This second-tier Mutant Beast can be converted into 500 energy points," the system said.

Su Chen was overjoyed to finally know how to earn energy. All he had to do was hunt more Mutant Beasts.

The young man wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. He was too embarrassed to ask for the Mutant Beast, as without them, they would have died long ago.

As there were outsiders present, the system couldn't directly recycle the Mutant Beast. Su Chen had all the soldiers go over and start dividing up the Mutant Beast.

"Commander, we found something," Su Yi said, holding a pale yellow crystal in front of Su Chen. It was the first time Su Chen had seen such a thing, and it looked like a gem.

But Su Chen couldn't show his confusion. After all, he thought it might be common knowledge in this world. If he didn't know this, it would be too suspicious.

He saw envy on the faces of Leng Yuwei and her team, knowing that it was definitely a good thing.

"Found an energy crystal. Should we absorb it?" the system asked.

"What is this energy crystal and what does it do?" Su Chen asked.

"There are two ways to use it. One is to let the system recycle it and increase energy. This crystal can increase 100 energy points. The other is to give it to a soldier, who has a high chance of advancing one tier."

Su Chen's eyes lit up. He was in an unfamiliar place and needed strong power. However, all his soldiers were only first-tier peak. If he had a second-tier peak soldier, his safety would undoubtedly be better guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Su Chen beckoned to Su Yi. "Eat this."

Without hesitation, Su Yi picked up the crystal and ate it, leaving Leng Yuwei and her team stunned.
