The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 591: Take Down the Zerg for Me

Chapter 591: Take Down the Zerg for Me

For the time being, it seemed that Su Chen had reached an understanding with the Zerg Hive – they would withdraw their forces from the land to make way for Su Chen, but they showed no sign of yielding when it came to the ocean.

Ever since the Zerg Hive had realized that its false location had been exposed, it had become increasingly cautious. The planet was vast, and locating the Zerg Hive's exact position proved to be a daunting task. Without the presence of the Parasitic Species, Su Chen would likely waste a significant amount of time searching for the Zerg Hive.

This Zerg Hive was different from the one on Earth. It did not produce Zerg with self-awareness; all Zerg were tools, and when they died, they were replaced. This made it impossible for Su Chen to control them through psychic means and determine the Zerg Hive's location.

"Now, we can only wait for word from the Parasitic Species. Yun Ru, how far along are we in our research on this planet?"

Currently, Red Alert Base had spread throughout the planet, rescuing approximately over five million people. These numbers were likely the lowest point in human history.

Among the survivors were numerous archaeologists. Their findings matched the historical records and books, further confirming that this planet was indeed Earth.

The only peculiarity was that, through extensive data analysis, no other Earthlings had been found on this planet. In other words, there was no second Su Chen, no second Emperor Ming, and not even another ordinary person resembling oneself.

Yun Ru speculated that the history of this planet could evolve based on Earth's history, but there was no need for humans here to be exactly the same. Each generation could be unique, and even with advanced genetic technology, it was impossible to create two identical children.

It was likely that the creators of this Earth shared this perspective and made no alterations to humanity, as long as the overall direction was maintained.

"In general, it aligns with what Commander knows. However, I've stumbled upon an issue."

"Go on."

"According to this planet's history, it was identical to Earth's history until about fifty years ago. But during a certain period afterward, they seem to have lost their memory of that time, as if the entire planet's time came to a standstill. Upon further reflection, I believe this could either be the work of the individual who created Earth or... a natural temporal phenomenon."

"Based on Dr. Einstein's theory – not the real one, but the character from the game – time can be manipulated by individuals. He even created a true time machine. If Commander could summon Dr. Einstein, he might be able to determine whether there's an issue with time on this planet."

"Dr. Einstein?"

Su Chen sighed. This character had always been part of the backdrop in Red Alert, not affiliated with any of the factions. Otherwise, he would have summoned Dr. Einstein long ago. It could be said that the existence of the Red Alert game was built upon the foundation of the time machine he had created.

Don't mention summoning various characters from Red Alert; he couldn't summon Dr. Einstein even if he tried, unless...

"A lottery!"

Su Chen suddenly recalled the almost forgotten effects of his permissions. Each day, he would habitually draw one lottery, and most of the rewards were inconsequential, like a Freeze Helicopter or an Apocalypse Tank. The better ones included the recent Aircraft Carrier.

He couldn't be sure if the System had placed Einstein in there. If he could draw him, the impact might surpass that of Yun Ru!

Think about it, a time machine, what an incredibly powerful device! With that, he could transcend the layers of time and journey into the past!

"System, is there Einstein in the lottery?"

"Not at the moment. Only as Master continues to unlock permissions will Einstein appear in the lottery." The System explained for once, as it had previously cited Su Chen's insufficient permissions as the reason.

"Do I need the second-sequence permissions?" Su Chen furrowed his brows.

To unlock the second-sequence permissions, he needed to control a Large Galaxy, which would take ages.

Einstein was out of the question. Su Chen shook his head and continued speaking to Yun Ru. "Are there any other insights?"

"Yes, before the Zerg arrived on this planet, it should have evolved into a modern society similar to Earth. Logically, there should be countless satellites or debris in outer space. However, when I scanned the entire planet's outer space, I didn't spot any satellites or debris. It's as clean as if there wasn't a speck of space junk."

Su Chen's eyes changed, and this was indeed highly abnormal. He remembered that the rescued survivors used to have cell phones, allowing them to browse the internet and make calls at any time. But on the day the Zerg attacked, they found all signals had vanished.

Even when they tried to build new signal towers or launch new satellites, it was all in vain. It was as if the entire planet had blocked the signals.

This led to the conclusion that the disappearance of all satellites was the root cause.

Without satellites to transmit signals, cell phones became nothing more than bricks.

Su Chen suddenly had an uneasy feeling. "Could this be the work of the person who created the Earth?"

If his guess was correct, that person might still be on this planet, possibly hiding somewhere, watching his every move!

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt sweat on his back. He hurriedly asked the System, "System, can you locate that person?"

"Master, System's eyes are the maps you see. If something isn't visible on the map, System can't help. But Master can rest assured; System will ensure Master's personal safety."

With the assurance from the System, Su Chen finally relaxed. However, the presence of this person was like a thorn in his side, making him uneasy.

"Summon Lu Gang."

Not long after, Lu Gang, the old man, rushed over, respectfully addressing, "Lord Commander, what are your orders?"

"I've heard that some survivors have been causing trouble recently."

"Those people don't know their place, they've been speaking ill of Lord Commander. I've already had them disciplined and locked up in the dark cells. If Lord Commander feels the punishment isn't enough, I can..."

Without letting Lu Gang finish, Su Chen interrupted him, "I'm not interested in those matters. I called you here this time with a specific command."

"Hold your weapons and go fight the Zerg for me."

Lu Gang's body shook, and his initial thought was that Red Alert Base was in trouble! (To be continued...)
