The Last Commander of the Red Alert

XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter. It seemed that Humans from anywhere were the same—when encountering unfamiliar beings, their first thought was dissecting for research.

"Welcome, alien friends, to visit Earth. I am the only Emperor here on this planet. Where do you come from?" Su Chen didn't immediately resort to threats and violence. After all, these people didn't seem hostile. From what he heard earlier, it seemed that these individuals were refugees, simply seeking a primitive planet to settle on.

In other words, they were a group of refugees.contemporary romance

The people on the opposite side were astonished by Su Chen's words. They probably hadn't expected that the language spoken here was similar to theirs. At most, there were minor differences in pronunciation and details, but overall, they could understand each other.

"Emperor? On a primitive planet, someone dares to call themselves an Emperor? Quite bold," someone muttered under their breath.

It was known that in their culture, only those who controlled an entire star system could be addressed as Emperor. A planet, at most, could be referred to as a "Sphere Ruler."

"Enough chatter, let me talk." Lisi gave the talkative person a stern look, took a few steps forward, and spoke with a composed tone, "Your Majesty, we are people from Yan Yun Star. An unimaginable catastrophe occurred on our planet. Driven to desperation, we fled on our warships. We encountered a meteor strike halfway and ended up on this planet. We have no malicious intent."

Su Chen smirked. If he hadn't heard their earlier conversation clearly, he might have believed what the woman said.

One had to admit, this red-haired woman had a rather attractive face—undeniably a beauty. However, there was an old saying: the prettier the woman, the more skilled she was at lying.

Their clear goal was this place, yet they spun it as if they had accidentally landed here. Applause for their creativity on that one.

Clap, clap!

As he spoke, Su Chen even began clapping.

The red-haired woman seemed a bit stunned, wondering what Emperor's applause meant. Perhaps it was some custom of this planet?

"Since you arrived on a warship, why did you end up on this planet instead of your own?" Su Chen asked the question that had been bothering him.

What he got was a look as if he were asking a naive question. "Your Majesty, don't you know that every planet with life has a natural defense barrier on its surface? You can only enter through a transfer station; otherwise, the planet will repel you."

"???"

Su Chen had to admit he really didn't know about this. After all, he had never left Earth.

Seeing Su Chen's look, Lisi became even more certain that this was a primitive planet. She was just curious about why a primitive planet would have a transfer station—only a highly advanced civilization among Humans could achieve such a thing.

"I naturally know this. I was just testing you earlier. Since you've come from afar, as the ruler of this place, I will treat you as guests. Please put down all your weapons, and I'll take you out of the transfer station," Su Chen said casually.

Upon hearing the words "put down weapons," these people hesitated. In the universe, the only thing they could trust was their weapons!

Su Chen speculated that the people from Yan Yun Star seemed to focus more on weapon research and development than personal cultivation. Their weapons were of unfamiliar designs, and their overall strength wasn't that high.

The strongest among them was this red-haired woman, at the mid-Seventh Order level. Only one person, the woman herself, reached the peak of the Sixth Order. This level of power was nothing to Earth humans.

Su Chen's priority was their warship!

From a distance, Su Chen saw a massive black warship parked on the ground. Its size was staggering.

With a length of around five kilometers, accommodating tens of thousands of people was no issue.

After some thought, Lisi led by example and put down her weapon. She could see that, both in terms of quantity and overall strength, they couldn't compare with the natives of this planet. If a conflict broke out, they would be the ones suffering.

In that case, it was better to play the role of guests. At least that way, they could maintain some dignity. If they were treated as prisoners, they'd probably be in tears.

Seeing their captain set the example, others also gradually put down their weapons.

Once the Red Alert soldiers collected all their weapons, Su Chen led them out of Origin Land.

As they emerged, the cold weather outside made some of the weaker individuals uncomfortable, shivering from the cold.

Lisi approached Su Chen alone and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any warm clothing here?"

Su Chen waved his hand, and immediately a group of Red Alert soldiers produced various padded coats and handed them to the newcomers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's nothing. I'm quite curious about your planet. Could you tell me more?" Su Chen asked casually.

Lisi hesitated for a moment. She was worried that this Emperor might have some ulterior motive.

As far as she knew, if an Emperor discovered there were other places beyond their planet, it might lead to thoughts of conquest. That wouldn't be good.

However, upon reflection, her planet was currently in dire straits. What could others covet?

"My planet, Yan Yun Star, is a beautiful place where everyone lived happily. But thirty years ago, a sudden calamity occurred, changing my planet..."

As Lisi narrated, a tinge of surprise appeared in Su Chen's eyes. What surprised him wasn't just the content, but the fact that Lisi's planet had also experienced an Apocalypse!

However, it was different from Earth's. Yan Yun Star's Apocalypse had its own unique characteristics.

They initially went through a series of natural disasters—tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and more. The destruction of various urban structures left chaos in its wake, with heavy casualties. Subsequently, an array of strange creatures emerged from underground, turning Yan Yun Star into a hellish realm.

These creatures were referred to as the Ghost Clan, possessing formidable individual strength. Often, a Ghost Clan required several or even dozens of people to deal with.

What they found most unbearable was that the Ghost Clan had a taste for human flesh. Over the years, countless people had become the Ghost Clan's food. The inhabitants of Yan Yun Star had come to hate the Ghost Clan vehemently.

Yan Yun Star was technologically advanced compared to Earth, at least capable of constructing spaceships, and they used these ships to escape.

Not just spaceships—after encountering the Ghost Clan incidents on their planet, they had reached out to other planets. However, to their astonishment, other planets had experienced similar situations. Not a single planet was spared from this fate!
