The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 44: Energy Bead

Chapter 44: Energy Bead

Wang Yi is dead!

This news spread throughout Base City at an extremely fast pace. No one could believe that Wang Yi, the young master of the Wang family, would die in Base City.

Some say that five Transcendents broke into the hotel and killed Wang Yi there. Wang Yi was a fifth-order Transcendent, so whoever killed him must be at least fifth-order, or even sixth-order!

There aren't many sixth-order Transcendents even in Base City. If Wang Yi was really killed by a sixth-order Transcendent, then who was it?

The whole Base City became restless. The sixth-order Transcendents didn't dare to go out casually, for fear of being mistaken by the Wang family as the culprit who killed Wang Yi.

The excitement in Zone C decreased suddenly.

But this had nothing to do with Su Chen and his group, who were hiding in Zone D. They rented a house at a very low price, but the house was quite old and couldn't compare to the houses in the first three zones.

"Haha, Big Sister, you didn't see how Su Chen strategized at that time. If I were a woman, I would probably be attracted to him," Luo Hang was describing what happened at that time to Leng Yuwei, emphasizing Su Chen's performance.

Leng Yuwei glanced at Su Chen. Does he really care about me?

Su Chen closed his eyes, seemingly resting, but in fact, he was observing the situation in Zone C through the radar. There were now many city defense personnel in the area, and anyone they saw on the road would be questioned. The security was tight.

Not only in Zone C, but also at the several entrances and exits of Base City, there were more guards, and every person who entered or left would be strictly checked.

Under these circumstances, the criminals who wanted to escape had no chance, except for Su Chen and his group, who were not recorded.

After all, Su Chen and his group were arrested by the city defense team because of Wang Yi's private mobilization, and there was no record of them on the city defense team's side.

They were hiding here just in case.

"It seems that we can't go to Zone C these days. We have to wait until the storm passes, and we must collect information about the core," Su Chen pondered for a moment and called Luo Hang over.

"Brother Chen, what's your order?"

"Do you know that there is a more advanced crystal on the energy crystal called the energy bead?" Su Chen asked.

If it were before, Luo Hang wouldn't know, but he had been in Base City for some time and had figured out many things.

"Is Brother Chen asking about the energy bead? I heard that there is something called the energy bead above the energy crystal. Of course, I haven't seen it, I just heard about it. This thing is only useful for Transcendents above the fifth order, and I don't know what it is used for."

Luo Hang had spent a lot of effort to find out these things in a short time.

"Go and find out if there is any place that sells energy beads. If you find any information, come back and tell me immediately."

"Brother Chen, don't worry. Finding information is what I'm best at."

Luo Hang went out, and Zhang Tao also came to collect various information around. Su Yi and Su Er went out to observe the terrain and prevent any emergencies.

After all this, only Su Chen and Leng Yuwei were left in the room.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Su Chen didn't know what to say, as his relationship with Leng Yuwei was a bit strange. It wasn't quite like friends, nor was it entirely superior and subordinate. It was complicated.

"Wangchang City is a third-level Base City. Although it only has one seventh-order Transcendent, the strongest person under your command is only fifth-order peak Transcendent. How do you deal with that?" Leng Yuwei spoke up.

Su Chen knew that Leng Yuwei was worried that he couldn't defeat Base City and would be annihilated by them.

In fact, the only variable that Su Chen was worried about in Base City was the seventh-order Transcendent. He still didn't have a unit that could suppress a seventh-order Transcendent.

He had thought of many ways, one of which was to sneakily develop until the super weapon appeared. The Weather Control Device or the nuclear missile silo could be used. Even a seventh-order peak Transcendent would turn into ashes.

Unfortunately, he needed a lot of energy to build a super weapon. By the time the super weapon appeared, the seventh-order Transcendent might have already taken action.

Su Chen decisively gave up this method. The second method was to build a super combat unit with powerful combat capabilities, different from Ju Ling's long-range attack type. He needed a super combat unit that could fight in close combat.

As far as he knew, the seventh-order Transcendent in Wangchang City was also a close combat type.

The birth of a super combat unit was the same as the Commander's authority level. Ju Ling was born as a fifth-order peak, and if he was promoted to level 7, the super combat unit born would be a seventh-order peak. By then, he would have the capital to compete with Wangchang City.

But he didn't know how much time it would take for him to be promoted to level 7. What he lacked most now was time.

He knew that the seventh-order Transcendent in Wangchang City was in seclusion, trying to break through. He had to improve his strength before he came out of seclusion!

Soon, five days passed. During these days, Luo Hang was very careful in finding information about the energy bead, but most people had only heard of it and didn't know where to find it.

However, Su Chen did not receive any news about the Energy Crystal. Instead, he received news from Ju Ling, who had successfully brought the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) to the location of the Paratrooper Squad and was ready to establish a sub-base.

"Good, build quickly, mine iron ore at the fastest speed, and establish a certain defense system to protect the sub-base," Su Chen commanded.

As long as the sub-base kept mining iron ore, he could obtain a large amount of energy. In the future, he could earn considerable energy income every day without doing anything, which was a great thing for him.

After receiving Su Chen's command, Ju Ling began to deploy the MCV. Just like the scene Su Chen had seen before, the MCV, which did not look big, had a large area after deployment. Then, buildings such as power plants and ore refineries were all constructed. In order to quickly obtain energy, Ju Ling directly used energy to erase the construction time.

Su Chen watched his energy points drop rapidly and felt a bit of pain, but when he thought of his future energy income, he could only pretend not to see it.

No one knew that a powerful base had been established a thousand kilometers away, which would become a help for Su Chen.

"Brother Chen, I have found out about the Energy Bead!" At this moment, Luo Hang ran in excitedly.

Su Chen's mouth curled up. Was this a case of good things coming in pairs?
