Chapter 363: The Benefits of Spies
Base City still existed, but the number of Gathering Places was gradually decreasing. It wasn't due to destruction, but rather because humans were preparing to establish new cities in various places. They could easily choose to migrate to these new cities.
You should know that the speed at which humans constructed before the Apocalypse was already fast, let alone now, where everyone was like a little superhuman. Building a building in a day was no problem at all.
Under the influence of the Human Emperor, the Red Alert Empire was also gradually making everyone aware that they were no longer citizens of Base City, but citizens of the Red Alert Empire, with the Emperor naturally being Sovereign Su.
The title of Human Emperor hadn't changed, but Su Chen's title had. To emphasize his status, he was now referred to as Sovereign Su!
Three months quickly passed, and Su City was finally completed. On this day, Su Chen held a grand coronation ceremony!
This also marked the official establishment of the Red Alert Empire, and Su City, as the capital of the empire, would undoubtedly become the largest city in the world in the future – this was beyond doubt.
In the span of these three months, the territory of humans had expanded several times over. In the surrounding areas, wild Mutant Beasts were becoming rare to see. Now, most Mutant Beasts were either kept by humans or resided in zoos.
Yes, zoos had made a return from the pre-Apocalypse era.
For safety reasons, most of the Mutant Beasts inside were First Order Mutant Beasts, with a few being Second Order Third Stage.
There was no way around it. Some Mutant Beasts were born with high starting points. Su Chen couldn't lower their ranks.
For those residing within the city, there was no other way to see Mutant Beasts except for this method, unless they were willing to join the military and become human warriors expanding their territories.
It was universally known that humans were in a great situation now. It was believed that in less than two years, they would be able to reclaim the territories they had lost.
During this time, some events had occurred.
For example, in places where Mutant Beasts lived, some humans were found who were still alive. However, these humans couldn't speak at all. They managed to survive only because the Mutant Beasts wanted to keep them as captives.contemporary romance
This situation was broadcasted in the news for everyone to see, sparking anger among the humans. How dare the Mutant Beasts do such a thing!
The consequence of this was that humans became even fiercer in killing Mutant Beasts.
In the past, when humans saw Mutant Beasts, they would run away quickly. Now, when Mutant Beasts saw humans, they would flee in fear.
The downfall of the Mutant Beasts was already a foregone conclusion. However, the Human Emperor didn't relax in the slightest. They proceeded cautiously, even if it meant losing some battles, they wouldn't allow a significant loss of human soldiers.
At this point, human lives were more valuable than the lives of Mutant Beasts.
The situation of the Mutant Beasts was dire, and the situation of the Mutants wasn't much better. If they didn't possess intelligence, it might have been manageable. Unfortunately, many of them were intelligent Mutants.
They knew that humans were now dominant, and Mutants were no match for their strength. So, they surprisingly sought peace, hoping that humans would provide them with a place to survive.
Naturally, Sovereign Su refused. This action seemed to anger the Mutants, and the remaining Mutant Emperors discussed and planned to attack a human Base City as a surprise, but what they didn't dream of was that there were two spies among the Mutant Emperors.
"Commander, Mutant Emperor is preparing to attack the Level Three Base City, Lu Chu City, using the people there as hostages to force the Human Emperor's compliance." Spy Number One immediately relayed the message.
Su Chen stroked his chin. His decision not to recall the spies had been correct; these Mutant Emperors hadn't learned their lesson.
"When and where?"
"Three days from now, during the night, attacking from the east of Lu Chu City."
There were currently eight Mutant Emperors left, minus Spy Number One and Spy Number Three, which left six.
Six Eighth Order powerhouses attacking a Level Three Base City wouldn't have been possible without prior information. Currently, the strongest Controller in the Level Three Base City was only at the Late Seventh Order, and there were many at the Mid Seventh Order.
Unfortunately, the Controller of Lu Chu City was a Mid Seventh Order Transcendent. In the eyes of Mutant Emperors, such Transcendents were easy to deal with.
Dealing with Mutant Emperors who were at most Eighth Order Mid Term wasn't of much interest to Su Chen. He was eagerly awaiting the results of his combat experiments every day.
Apart from two super soldiers guarding Origin Land, the rest of the team was conducting various experiments in the combat laboratory.
However, Su Chen still informed Emperor Kong of this information, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Sovereign Su, is the information reliable?" Emperor Kong asked.
"It was transmitted to me by two of my subordinates among the Mutants. It's completely reliable."
Emperor Kong suddenly remembered that Su Chen had mentioned having two subordinates within the Mutant ranks, posing as Mutant Emperors. He couldn't fathom how humans managed to infiltrate the Mutants and even become Mutant Emperors, but he didn't inquire further.
"What are your orders, Sovereign Su?"
"I'm leaving this matter to you. I can't be bothered to intervene."
Emperor Kong's lips twitched. He had recently realized that Su Chen was indeed a lazy person. After external threats were gone, Su Chen would take people out to play every day. Emperor Kong had long gotten used to this.
Su Chen didn't mind, but Emperor Kong definitely did. For the Mutant Emperors to act en masse was a big deal.
Emperor Kong immediately contacted other Human Emperors and three newly minted Eighth Order Transcendents.
Humans' strength now far surpassed that of the Mutants, even their Eighth Order forces.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a group of Eighth Order human powerhouses quietly arrived in Lu Chu City and entered the main hall where the Controller resided.
The Controller of Lu Chu City was shocked; in the blink of an eye, he saw nine figures appear before him.
"Greetings, Lords of Kings." In the next second, the Controller of Lu Chu City respectfully greeted, recognizing the identities of these people.
"In three days, the Mutant Emperors will concentrate their attack here," Emperor Kong said.
The face of the Controller of Lu Chu City changed, but then he realized that these Lords of Kings had come for this matter. He felt relieved.
"I'll follow your orders, Lords of Kings."
Three days passed quickly. With the strength of the Mutant Emperors, they crossed the human lines without being detected. Of course, they deliberately leaked a bit of information. The Eastern Emperor of the Eastern Front was said to be in seclusion.
So, these Mutant Emperors believed they hadn't been discovered and quietly entered human territory through the Eastern Front, heading toward Lu Chu City.
Among them were Spy Number One and Spy Number Three. Spy Number Three asked Spy Number One, "Are we not going to intervene in the upcoming battle?"
"That's Commander's order. We just need to watch," replied Spy Number One. (To be continued)
