The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 648: Red Alert - A Fun Game!

Chapter 648: Red Alert - A Fun Game!

After enduring the rigorous training in the Training Room, Su Chen felt a significant improvement in his combat abilities. The most crucial aspect was that only he could access and see the Training Room; for others, it appeared as a mere wall.

Inside the Training Room, everything was virtual. Even if he were gravely wounded in there, he'd quickly respawn at full health. This was the most insane feature of the Training Room.

Su Chen had no need to be concerned about his physical condition; he could train recklessly. However, such training would gradually wear down one's willpower, and if it lasted too long, it could be detrimental.

"System, can we start the battle mode now?" Su Chen eagerly inquired.

"There is currently a battle about to begin. May I confirm your intent to take control, Master?"

"Confirmed."

In the next instant, a computer appeared in front of Su Chen's position. It appeared to be high-end, with the display showing the map from Red Alert. This seemed to be a siege battle, with Su Chen's side on the offensive.

Su Chen naturally reached for the mouse and double-clicked on the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle). Immediately, the MCV began to unfold and create a construction yard.

This was the starting point!

Su Chen had thought they would immediately be confronted by a massive army, which would then proceed to capture the city.

At the same time, in a location within Lakestar, Ju Ling suddenly noticed that the MCV, which had just been transported there, was unfolding by itself. What was going on?

Only their Super Soldiers had the permissions to unfold the MCV; other troops needed authorization from them. However, she hadn't granted authorization to anyone else, and the Super Soldiers accompanying her were Guangtou Qiang and Yun Ru. They couldn't be joking around at a time like this.

Just as Ju Ling prepared to investigate, she heard the voice of the Commander in her mind, "Ju Ling, I'll take control of the next battle. All you need to do is follow my commands."

"Commander?" Ju Ling was startled. This was Lakestar, a planet far from Earth. How could the Commander be contacting her?

Could it be an impersonation?

But she quickly shook her head. This feeling could only be the Commander's; it couldn't possibly be anyone else pretending to be him.

Every Red Alert soldier had a deep and profound connection with the Commander. They were the ones who could best discern whether it was truly the Commander or not.

"It's me. From now on, no matter where you are, I can reach you," Su Chen briefly explained.

Ju Ling said no more and handed over the command of this battle to Su Chen.

Su Chen was curious. If he could simply click on an MCV and unfold it, would controlling troops be just as easy, making them akin to puppets, entirely at his mercy?

However, this raised questions about the troops' actions, as the game's controls were quite rigid, lacking the flexibility of their own movements.

"Master, you need not worry. When you issue commands during their actions, they will adapt based on your instructions."

With that assurance, Su Chen relaxed and began to concentrate on... playing the game.

Su Chen was very familiar with the initial stages of Red Alert. The MCV unfolded, and he started constructing power plants, barracks, and other structures. In no time, the foundation of a base began to take shape.

In order to quickly gain control, Ju Ling and her group decided to engage in battles on multiple fronts, meaning they had no reinforcements and had to rely entirely on themselves.

Once they established a base, they would focus on battling in that specific location, offering minimal support to other areas.

The construction of Red Alert bases was exceptionally swift, and the production of units was just as rapid. This made reinforcements largely unnecessary.

Apart from the already stable bases, Ju Ling and her companions would lend a hand whenever a new base was established. This was the reason Ju Ling was present at this location.

This approach was in line with Su Chen's mindset. After all, starting a game from the very beginning wouldn't be interesting if they were faced with a massive army right from the start, simply crushing their way through. That wouldn't leave much room for enjoyment.

Just as Su Chen had constructed over a thousand soldiers, an alarm sounded on the map: Invaders were approaching!

Since it was a game mode, Su Chen didn't choose to eliminate construction time entirely using energy points; instead, he opted for acceleration.

This meant that construction still took time, but this time was greatly reduced. For instance, it originally took several minutes to build a single soldier, but in accelerated mode, it only took a second to construct one.

Su Chen remembered that the original Red Alert game had this mode, but due to the rapid pace, he couldn't keep up with the computer, and he would be annihilated within minutes.

Su Chen clicked on the location of the Invaders and discovered that they had deployed a rather extravagant army of flying tanks.

Thanks to the presence of Spy Satellites, the entire map was already illuminated by default, which meant Su Chen didn't even need to build a radar; he had full visibility from the start.

This was unavoidable since the Spy Satellites launched by the earlier bases shared their effect.

"There are quite a few of them. If we engage in direct combat, I might incur some damage. Looks like it's time to unleash my ultimate move."

And that ultimate move was none other than Ju Ling!

Luckily, Ju Ling was right here, and such a formidable assistant shouldn't go to waste.

With just the troops and weapons from this newly established base, Su Chen estimated that they were evenly matched with the enemy. But Su Chen didn't want an even match; he wanted a victory.

Su Chen placed his cursor over Ju Ling and clicked to confirm, then clicked on the location of the Invaders. Instantly, Ju Ling set off in that direction.

For Ju Ling, this sensation was even more peculiar. It was as though she had received a direct command from the Commander, and her body had started to move on its own. She knew her mission was to eliminate these Invaders entirely.

Why were the enemies human?

The answer was simple. When they arrived, they made no attempt to conceal their intentions. They directly announced their aim to conquer Lakestar, which naturally led to resistance from the human inhabitants of Lakestar. As a result, what was once a two-way power struggle now became a three-way standoff.

Lakestar's plight was brought about by a race known as Terrazoa, and these Terrazoa were nearly identical to the dinosaurs found on Earth!

Terrazoa had two forms: the original ones and the humanoid Dinosaurians. The original ones were the massive dinosaur-like creatures, while the humanoid Dinosaurians resembled humans in their body shape, standing on two legs and using their hands. However, their appearance still had dinosaur-like features, leading the people of this planet to call them Dinosaurians.

Terrazoa, much like the Ghost Clan, emerged from the Underworld. However, the difference was that Terrazoa had always lived underground and had little contact with humans. It was just this time, for some unknown reason, that they burst out from beneath the earth, seeking to conquer the surface world.

To be honest, when Yun Ru first saw these Terrazoa, she was so excited that she could barely sleep. To Yun Ru, there was an abundance of experimental materials, practically a paradise! (To be continued...)
