The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 599: Are You Not from This Planet?

Change is not merely superficial; it refers to the effects it brings.

Originally, the Weather Control Device could only generate powerful thunderstorms within a radius of 200 kilometers. However, after the upgrade, the current Weather Control Device can expand its range to cover a radius of 1,000 kilometers, with the power of thunderstorms doubling!

This was an unexpected surprise. If it continued to be upgraded, could the Weather Control Device cover the entire planet?

By then, the Weather Control Device would truly become a superweapon!

After subduing the Spectral Moth, Su Chen inquired with his subordinates about any traces of the Big White Rabbit, but as expected, there was no information at all.

The Big White Rabbit rarely appeared on the surface, and the few times it did, it left no traces.

"For now, we can set aside the Big White Rabbit. As long as it doesn't cause trouble, it's not a problem. Let's focus on Earth-1."

One of the timed bombs on Yan Yun Star had been disarmed, and it wouldn't be long before the remaining one was neutralized.

On Earth-1, after a fierce battle, the number of survivors had sharply declined, forcing Lu Gang to approach Su Chen, wanting to keep some of the survivors in the rear and preserve a spark of hope.

"Commander, currently, there are fewer than three million survivors, and most of them are males. The survival rate for females is significantly lower than that of males. At this rate, humanity is facing extinction!" Lu Gang appeared genuinely concerned, a stark contrast to what one might assume if they didn't know his true character.

"Three million is plenty for the propagation of humanity," Su Chen's response was cold.

Lu Gang felt a chill in his heart. He didn't understand the Commander's intentions. How would having fewer people benefit him?

What puzzled him even more was the origins of the numerous soldiers in the base. He had absolutely no recollection of them, despite being a high-ranking human from before the Apocalypse.

While Lu Gang was lost in thought, Su Chen's voice came through, "Pass on the order. You will continue to participate in the upcoming battles. Only when you have achieved a certain level of merit will you be allowed to return to the city."

Lu Gang had no choice but to relay this command.

As soon as Lu Gang left, Libra, who had just entered the Command Room, spoke with her icy tone, "Commander, the old man just now had a lot of undesirable thoughts. Should I exert Psychic control over him?"

"Not for now. I need people with their own thoughts. Call Yao Yifei here."

Shortly after, Yao Yifei arrived. There were still some grease stains on the corners of her mouth, as she had been eating barbecue earlier!

"Commander, did you summon me?" Yao Yifei asked somewhat embarrassedly, wiping her mouth with her sleeve.

Su Chen's lips twitched. He couldn't believe that this person might be connected to the mastermind behind the scenes. However, after analyzing the data from the past few days, she seemed to be the most likely suspect.

In the recent battles, she had miraculously escaped fatal crises dozens of times. If this were attributed to luck, Su Chen wouldn't believe it.

Meng Lun's performance had fallen slightly short. He had suffered severe injuries once, and if not for the advanced medical technology at Red Alert Base, he might have died.

As long as someone didn't die on the spot, they would receive medical treatment upon returning to the base.

"Yao Yifei, are you not from this planet?" Su Chen started with a bombshell.

Yao Yifei's reaction was odd. She paused, looking puzzled. "Commander, what are you talking about? How can I not be from this planet?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes. "Your performance has been impeccable, even now. However, you've forgotten something crucial."

"That's the mismatch between your Soul and this body!"

Yao Yifei remained silent, lowering her head.

Su Chen continued, "Generally, the mismatch between Soul and body can manifest in various ways. The most severe outcome is the immediate collapse of the body, resulting in death. On the milder side, it might include cravings for meat, am I right?"

The Command Room fell into silence for a moment, but eventually, Yao Yifei spoke, her voice dramatically different from before.

If she had seemed like a fool before, now she appeared as a ruthless and cold-hearted killer.

"How did you know?"

A hint of hostility emanated from her, but Ju Ling and Tanya had already aimed their guns at her. Any sudden movement, and their bullets would pierce through her head instantly.

"Do you think it's easy to know? Do you think I gave you that reward for nothing back then?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Yao Yifei's face subtly changed. The reward of ten pounds of meat per day he had given her back then had been intentional. He had already suspected her at that time?

"It seems you're not entirely clueless. However, what truly gave you away was your performance. I have to admit, you're a perfect actress, flawlessly embodying the role. Yet, it's precisely this perfection that made you seem so peculiar. Your every gesture matched our perception of this woman perfectly. But you forgot one thing: no one's performance can be textbook perfect."

In reality, it wasn't the System that had informed Su Chen. He wouldn't have noticed these things on an inconsequential person like her.

"You're quite formidable. No wonder you have so many powerful subordinates. I admit it; I'm not from this planet. But it seems you aren't either." The woman's gaze turned cold, but the killing intent around her dissipated.

"Please, tell me your story."

Yao Yifei was her real name, and she wasn't originally from this world. She hailed from a planet called Feitian Star. As for why she ended up on this planet, occupying this woman's body, she had no idea.

However, she vaguely remembered that in the midst of her arrival on this planet, she had seemingly heard a man's voice.

"What did he say?" Su Chen asked hastily, suspecting that the man's voice might be linked to the mastermind behind this planet's creation.

Yao Yifei wore a contemplative expression. "I can't recall it very clearly. He seemed to mention something about returning and evolution, but the rest was incomprehensible."

Evolution made sense—it was a concept that applied to the continuous development of all things in the universe, albeit to varying degrees. But what did "return" mean?

Yao Yifei's clue seemed to have reached a dead end. It appeared that the mastermind behind this scheme might remain elusive. However, when Su Chen casually mentioned Yan Yun Star, Yao Yifei was surprisingly shocked and exclaimed, "Yan Yun Star? Isn't that a remote planet under the Rota Empire?"

Su Chen's expression changed. Rota Empire?

Unlike his Red Alert Empire, entities referred to as "Empires" in the universe were often dominant powers! (To be continued...)
