The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 18: The Tragic Gathering Place

At this moment, the Gathering Place had no idea that a large group of Mutant Beasts were advancing towards them from fifty kilometers away.

As usual, Leng Yuwei and her team went out to hunt Mutant Beasts early in the morning. Since the last incident, she had not recruited anyone, and the team had maintained a three-person formation.

After the last incident, she fully realized that only her own people could be relied upon.

Su Chen gave her a large amount of energy crystals, which she shared with Luo Hang and Zhang Tao. After absorbing them for these few days, her strength had reached the early second stage, and the other two had reached the mid and late first stages.

Who wouldn't want to become stronger as a Transcendent?

"Sister, I didn't expect to reach the mid-first stage so quickly. I thought it would take one or two years," Luo Hang said excitedly.

He became a Transcendent relatively late, and his aptitude was not good. The younger one becomes a Transcendent, the greater the potential.

He had been a first-stage Transcendent for a long time, but he had been unable to break through to the next level. With the help of the energy crystals given by Su Chen, he finally reached the mid-first stage.

"These are all Su Chen's things. He gave them to us, obviously to cultivate us in secret," Leng Yuwei said.

Luo Hang knew this principle, but he didn't care. "It's not bad to follow Su Chen. Look, since he came, Gathering Place has lost two big shots. I heard that Ma Sanyan is so scared that he doesn't dare to go out casually these days."

Zhang Tao laughed happily. "I passed by Ma Sanyan's place yesterday, and there were many people outside the door, including many Transcendents for protection. He's really afraid of death."

The three of them returned to the Gathering Place with a bountiful harvest. With their increased strength, they hunted more Mutant Beasts. However, because Su Chen's men had swept away many of the Mutant Beasts around them, they had to go further to hunt them.

Now, the value of the meat, bones, and other things on the Mutant Beasts in the Gathering Place had skyrocketed.

This cart of Mutant Beasts was enough for them to earn a lot of money.

But when they had just returned to the Gathering Place, they found that something was wrong. The people here were in a panic, holding weapons in their hands and staring outside with dead eyes. It was a posture of being ready to fight at any time.

After inquiring, they learned that it was actually a Mutant Beast riot!

The news came from a nearby base city. Each base city had long-distance observation methods, which might not be as precise as Su Chen's radar, but it was only slightly worse.

The movements of so many Mutant Beasts were discovered by the base city, which told Number 160's Gathering Place, making them feel like they were facing a great enemy.

The biggest reason why the current Gathering Place had so few people was these Mutant Beasts.

For some unknown reason, some Mutant Beasts would suddenly go berserk and destroy everything around them. If it were a base city, it would be fine, but the defense of the Gathering Place was too weak. Once they encountered a Mutant Beast riot, they were almost certain to die.

Currently, there was no news of any Gathering Place being able to withstand a Mutant Beast riot. When these people heard that there was a Mutant Beast riot, they were all desperate.

As for running away?

Haha!

Who can run faster than Mutant Beasts? Even cars can't!

There were many types of Mutant Beasts with lightning-fast speed. One person couldn't escape.

It was better to stay inside the Gathering Place, where there might be a glimmer of hope.

There had been such cases before, where someone had hidden in the Gathering Place and luckily survived.

Of course, if this situation was discovered, they would be executed on the spot!

In the life-and-death situation of the Gathering Place, those who only thought of surviving were not qualified to survive.

Leng Yuwei had already seen several people hiding and being found and killed on the spot. There were several bodies on the street.

At this time, no one would focus on these dead bodies. If they couldn't stop the Mutant Beast riot, they would soon become corpses themselves.

No, not even corpses would be left behind. Mutant Beasts were very interested in humans.

Humans regarded Mutant Beasts as food, but Mutant Beasts also regarded humans as food.

"Sister, I didn't expect that there hasn't been a Mutant Beast riot for so many years, and it actually targeted us this year. Is my luck really that bad?" Luo Hang said bitterly.

Zhang Tao sighed. "I'm older than you, but I haven't encountered a Mutant Beast riot either. Are these Mutant Beasts all crazy?"

"Uncle Zhang, you're older than me by more than a little bit. You're almost old enough to be my dad," Luo Hang teased.

"What a joke. I'm only five years old this year!"

"F*ck, I thought you were already fifty..."

Leng Yuwei ignored the banter between the two. She suddenly thought of Su Chen and wondered what this man was doing. Did he know what was about to happen to the Gathering Place?

"Even if he knows, what can he do to stop the Mutant Beast riot?"

Su Chen was in the command room when he suddenly heard the system's voice: "Trigger mission, rescue Leng Yuwei. As this mission exceeds the owner's current strength, Commander level 4 permission is temporarily unlocked, exempting the requirement for an airfield and allowing direct construction of armed helicopters. Success grants one chance to draw a prize, failure reduces energy acquisition speed by half for one week."

Su Chen's eyes lit up. A chance to draw a prize?

"What can I draw?"

"Anything that Red Alert has, all can be drawn, it depends on the owner's luck."

Su Chen suddenly understood. It was all or nothing, and it depended on this one chance.

Then he thought of something else: "I built an armed helicopter, but I don't have an airfield. How does that work?"

Only with an airfield built can various air units be constructed. Without an airfield, these things cannot be directed precisely.

A radar is just a radar, and its function is different from that of an airfield. They cannot be confused with each other in the game.

"You can continue to use it, but you cannot make precise pinpoint strikes."

Su Chen's mouth curved up. With the armed helicopter, he was not afraid of not being able to rescue Leng Yuwei. His only concern now was whether Leng Yuwei could survive before he arrived.

On his map, the Mutant Beasts had already come within five miles of the Gathering Place. This distance was already close enough for some people. They took out their weapons one by one.

Those with guns took them out, and those without took out some steel pipes. Although these things were of no use to the Mutant Beasts, they were the last line of defense in their hearts.

Standing at the forefront of the crowd was Ma Sanyan, whose face was very ugly.

"Why did these Mutant Beasts choose this place? Why didn't anyone tell me the news in advance? Does someone want to use these Mutant Beasts to get rid of me?" Ma Sanyan couldn't help but wonder.

To be a giant in a Gathering Place, one could imagine that his relationships were not simple.

But now, Ma Sanyan felt for the first time that his relationships were in trouble.
