The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 429: Essence of Ghost Patterns

These people watched the battle between Red Alert Base and the Ghost Clan from start to finish. It was obvious that the formidable power of Red Alert Base, a City Lord-level Expert high above, who could resist attacks even from Warships, was now trapped like this?

There was also the formidable army of the Ghost Clan. In the past, humans couldn't stand up to them at all. But here, the situation was reversed, with humans suppressing the Ghost Clan army. This was just not logical!

With the current weaponry of Red Alert Base, suppressing some members of the Ghost Clan wasn't an issue. The problem was that there were just too many of them.

One million members of the Ghost Clan, even if a quarter of them turned into Beastmen and were mostly wiped out earlier, the remaining number of the Ghost Clan was still close to seven hundred thousand.

Among the Ghost Clan, there were no men who stayed behind while women fought, as the saying went. Every member of the Ghost Clan on the battlefield was a warrior.

Facing the fearless and relentless Ghost Clan army, even the Red Alert forces were having a hard time resisting. The physical strength of the Ghost Clan was just too terrifying.

Moreover, these Ghost Clan members were wearing armor that only protected certain key areas. It seemed like there wasn't enough metal to go around.

But after Red Alert's aerial forces intervened, the Ghost Clan began to collapse.

"Let the Flying Head Ghosts take action and take down the humans' airborne weapons." A Seventh Order Ghost Clan member shouted, and Wang Wufa gave the command, granting them temporary authority.

Soon, tens of thousands of Flying Head Ghosts flew out from the rear, a dark and intimidating mass, looking incredibly fearsome.

"Target the Flying Head Ghosts and open fire!"

All sorts of light beams, bullet shells, and more flew towards the direction of the Flying Head Ghosts. In an instant, several hundred Flying Head Ghosts were taken down, and the liquid produced upon their deaths even ended up killing a number of Ghost Clan members.

Even so, the Flying Head Ghosts didn't stop. They flew with all their might, aiming to destroy the humans' aerial weapons.

Finally, the Flying Head Ghosts approached the Red Alert Air Force, only to be met with even fiercer attacks!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Flying Head Ghosts were blown apart one by one, their deaths gruesome. Seeing this situation, some of the battling Ghost Clan warriors shouted to the sky, "I am willing to use my life to become the strongest Flying Head Ghost!"

Initially, Su Chen didn't take it seriously, thinking they were just overwhelmed by the battlefield. However, the next moment, the transformation of this Ghost Clan shocked Su Chen.

The body of this Ghost Clan member started to shrink from below the chin, gradually turning into ashes. All the energy gathered in the head.

Then, the Ghost Clan member, who was now just a head, began to change. Their skin turned black, and their expression became extremely fierce, as if filled with hatred towards everything!

A Ghost Clan member had actually transformed into a real Flying Head Ghost!

"So, this is how Flying Head Ghosts appear? I thought they were born with just a head," Su Chen blinked, broadening his horizons.

But what he was even more interested in was why a Ghost Clan member just had to shout to become a Flying Head Ghost.

Could it be that this was a hidden ability of the Ghost Clan, like shouting to transform into a superhero?

"It seems like we should let those imprisoned Ghost Clan members try it next time," Su Chen mumbled.

Just then, Yun Ru's voice sounded, "Commander, as you instructed, I've been researching the Ghost Patterns of the Ghost Clan. I've gained some insights. These Ghost Patterns seem like simple patterns at first glance, seemingly useless, but in reality, there's a lot to them."

"To cut it short, explain it in words I can understand."

Su Chen knew without a doubt that Yun Ru in the lab must have rolled her eyes at his request.

"Alright, I'll explain it in simpler terms that even the Commander can grasp. Ghost Patterns are, in essence, a type of energy circuit, like an electrical diagram that you're familiar with. You can consider these two things as one, but the difference is that energy circuits are more complex and intricate. Even the slightest error can lead to severe issues in the entire circuit."

"What I'm most curious about is how the inventor of Ghost Patterns thought of it. They managed to imprint this concept into the genes of the Ghost Clan. This is simply beyond science. Since Ghost Patterns are imprinted in their genes, it means that when Ghost Clan members are born, they naturally possess Ghost Patterns, making them ideal energy vessels."

"Wait, let me interrupt for a moment. Are you saying that the original Ghost Clan members didn't have Ghost Patterns?" Su Chen asked.

Based on my research, that seems to be the case. Maybe there was a genius among the Ghost Clan in a certain era who came up with the concept of Ghost Patterns and imprinted it into their genes. And it wasn't just one or two imprints; probably all the Ghost Clan members at the time were imprinted. Since then, all born Ghost Clan members have naturally possessed Ghost Patterns. Ghost Patterns have various functions, like Burst cultivation during critical moments. The energy won't exceed the body's limits, as the energy circuit offsets a lot of pressure. It also strengthens the body, which explains why the Ghost Clan has such strong physical qualities."

The more Yun Ru researched Ghost Patterns, the more she had to admire the person who originally came up with the idea. Who could think of imprinting such a concept into the genes of the Ghost Clan, something that couldn't be altered?

If they forcefully altered the Ghost Patterns in the genes, it would lead to gene collapse and the instant death of that Ghost Clan member.

It could be said that without Ghost Patterns, the Ghost Clan wouldn't have achieved what it had now.

"Can Ghost Patterns be used as a standalone technology?" Su Chen was even more interested in this.

"Not at the moment. I've only grasped the basic idea of this technology. To fully develop it as a standalone technology will take more time."

Even Yun Ru couldn't promise how long it would take to completely comprehend this technology.

If they could apply the Ghost Patterns technology to Red Alert Base, Yun Ru could already envision how much stronger the base would become.

"It's okay, no rush. The Base isn't urgently in need of this technology anyway. Just do your best," Su Chen didn't issue any compulsory orders this time. He knew that fully comprehending a brand-new technology was a challenging task.

"By the way, do you know if Ghost Patterns can transform a Ghost Clan member into a Flying Head Ghost?" Su Chen pondered this matter and suddenly asked.

"What? Flying Head Ghosts? How can a Ghost Clan member turn into a Flying Head Ghost? Isn't that just a branch of the Ghost Clan?" Yun Ru was quite astonished.

She had been inside the laboratory all along and was unaware of the situation outside.

Su Chen explained briefly, and Yun Ru furrowed her brow, "A Ghost Clan member transforms into a Flying Head Ghost just by shouting? Does that mean that Flying Head Ghosts aren't a natural branch of the Ghost Clan but were created? Ghost Patterns serve as an energy circuit, primarily reducing stress and storing energy... wait, I get it!"

Yun Ru's voice was filled with excitement, as if she had unraveled a long-standing mystery. (To be continued...)
