The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Miller was a native of Yan Yun Star, and although his previous life wasn't very affluent, it was at least content and happy. However, the appearance of the Ghost Clan shattered this tranquility.

After the emergence of the Ghost Clan, he heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it. With the strength of the people from Yan Yun Star, the Ghost Clan would sooner or later be defeated.

But the events that followed left him dumbfounded.

In just a few short months, Yan Yun Star had lost half of its territory!

The Ghost Clan was fierce, and the humans on their side couldn't stop them.

Even when they brought out powerful forbidden weapons, they still couldn't suppress the momentum of the Ghost Clan. They seemed utterly fearless and crazed.

After more than two years since the Ghost Clan appeared, Miller's village was finally discovered by the Ghost Clan. Just as he was about to be killed by the Ghost Clan, a person wearing strange clothes saved him. This person also saved many others in his village.

Initially, he thought these people were reinforcements from other parts of Yan Yun Star, but they clarified that they weren't.

They were from a place called the Red Alert Base, and whether they liked it or not, they were brought here to reside. What was even stranger was that all of these people had uniformly black hair, which was quite different from them.

In Yan Yun Star, people with black hair were incredibly rare, to the point of being almost non-existent.

In all his years, Miller hadn't seen a single one, but here in the Red Alert Base, they were everywhere.

At first, he thought that this base brought them here with some ulterior motive, but after a few days, all they did was eat and sleep. It was like they were living a life of leisure.

He decided that as long as they didn't drive him away, he wouldn't leave!

And if they did, well, he'd hold on tight and not let go!

Ring, ring...

Just then, he heard a bell ringing, and suddenly he and the people he was living with got up from their beds. It was the sound of a mealtime bell.

When they arrived at a massive dining hall and saw no food, he immediately voiced his dissatisfaction, "Why is there no food?"

Some of the smarter ones began to sense that something was off. After all, there were Soldiers standing around with Weapons, and that didn't seem normal at all.

One Soldier stood on a table and looked at them, saying, "Those who want to eat, raise your hand."

Upon hearing this, many Yan Yun Star people instinctively raised their hands, but some had the idea to wait and see, not raising their hands.contemporary romance

For these people, not having food was simply unbearable.

The Soldier looked at them and smiled slightly, "Very well, starting now, those who raised their hands won't be allowed to eat for a day. And if anyone tries to pretend they didn't raise their hands to escape punishment, the penalty will be doubled!"

At this, all the Yan Yun Star people were unhappy.

For convenience, every fifty thousand people ate together in a cafeteria. The commotion caused by fifty thousand people made the cafeteria as noisy as a market.

The Yan Yun Star people thought that having their way of eating was only natural, but they forgot one thing: why did the Red Alert Base keep them here for no apparent reason?

Previously, it was because of Su Chen's mission needs, but Yun Ru's reminder made him realize that these people couldn't just be kept for free.

If you feed grass to a cow, it can still produce milk. These people had consumed so much food; it couldn't be wasted.

Su Chen's idea instantly brought suffering upon the Yan Yun Star people.

Clang!

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded, and all the Yan Yun Star people dared not move. Facing the Red Alert Soldiers armed with Weapons, they were no match.

Among these Yan Yun Star people were some minor experts, like Transcendents at the Fifth Order of the Sixth Stage, but they didn't make a move.

Those who had reached such a level were generally not foolish. Since the Red Alert Base was acting like this, it meant they had the ability to suppress any uprising completely, which was terrifying.

"Red Alert Base, why have I never heard of this name?" someone muttered.

Upon closer inspection, that person turned out to be the homeless man who sang discordantly. He had also been brought here.

Su Chen's subordinates didn't care who you were; as long as they saw you, they'd bring you back. After all, they only needed Yan Yun Star people; your identity didn't matter.

Soon, those who raised their hands had no food. However, some crafty ones thought that in a group this large, they might not be noticed. So, they tried to blend into the line for food, but they were caught on the spot and punished with double penalties, meaning they couldn't eat for two days.

It turned out that people could survive two days without eating, especially since there was water available.

Miller was relieved he hadn't raised his hand. Watching those people go hungry, he couldn't fathom what the head of this base was thinking.

In reality, these matters had nothing to do with Su Chen. He merely issued the orders; how the Soldiers below acted wasn't his concern.

Su Chen claimed, "I won't take the blame for this!"

The first show of force was very successful. The three hundred thousand people were frightened, realizing that the base was different from what they'd imagined. None of them dared to be unruly.

The subsequent matters were straightforward. If they were Transcendents, they could be specially recruited to become peripheral members of the Red Alert Base. If they were ordinary people with unique skills, they could also find work.

As for those who had no skills, there was no need to say anything; they'd be laborers.

The construction here was ongoing and required a lot of manpower. Even bricklaying was a form of work that saved quite a bit of manpower.

The elderly and infirm were responsible for other tasks; after all, they wouldn't tolerate idleness here.

Other matters could be understood, but when the Red Alert Soldiers announced that they would have to start farming again, they thought they must have misheard.

The traces of war between the Ghost Clan and the humans were everywhere, and suitable land for cultivation was scarce. How could they farm?

Moreover, Yan Yun Star's rice was different from ordinary plants. It was selective about the soil it grew in, and most types of soil simply couldn't support its growth. Even if they managed to grow it, the yield would be meager.

What left them even more speechless was that the location Su Chen had chosen was precisely a battlefield, with the surrounding land burnt black. There was no good soil to speak of—how could they cultivate here?

But no one dared to speak up; the Red Alert Soldiers' punishments were too harsh.

Now they were just a group of refugees, and going without food wasn't an option.

Then, on that very day, they witnessed what a miracle was.

Among all of the Qiluo Civilization's technologies, there was one special technology that had no use in war. One could say that the existence of this technology was a mockery of warfare.

The Ecological Environment Transformation Technology!

The function of this technology was simple: it could turn a terribly inhospitable place into an environment perfect for humans to live in. It was essentially a necessary skill for humans to travel the universe, without exception! (To be continued)
