The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 441: The Proper Use of a Rabbit

With the appearance of the first Shadow Ghost, a part of the people started turning into Shadow Ghosts one after another. Prince Hewlett, who witnessed this scene, was almost scared to the point of wetting his pants.

"W-what's happening here? How did they turn into Shadow Ghosts like this?"

Unfortunately, no one answered his question. The appearance of the Shadow Ghosts caused quite a bit of chaos in the field. Without Prince Hewlett's orders, the new recruits of the Restoration Army didn't know what to do. They even forgot about their weapons and just started running.

This situation was different from fighting the Ghost Clan. The Ghost Clan was there to be killed without hesitation, but the Shadow Ghosts were originally their comrades.

One moment, they were comrades, and the next, they turned into Shadow Ghosts. They were afraid that they might also become Shadow Ghosts, so there was no thought of counterattacking.

Occasionally, a few people tried to fight back, but as the number of Shadow Ghosts increased, even they started fleeing.

Su Chen clearly saw this situation. He could be sure that these soldiers weren't harmed by the Ghost Clan. In fact, most of these soldiers hadn't even entered the battle.

Even so, they still turned into Shadow Ghosts, and their only action was moving the bodies of the Ghost Clan!

"Just as I thought, only people from Yan Yun Star are susceptible to infection. My subordinates and Earthlings don't seem to be affected. Could it be that this pathogen from the Ghost Clan has some kind of specificity?" Su Chen found it peculiar.

In reality, Su Chen had noticed before that only people from Yan Yun Star were turning into Shadow Ghosts. The people from his side who had come here hadn't shown any changes.

Turning into Shadow Ghosts seemed to only happen to those who had direct contact with the Ghost Clan. The people in the Base city hadn't interacted with the Ghost Clan, and none of them had turned into Shadow Ghosts.

Yet, when they came to the battlefield and had contact with the Ghost Clan, they turned into Shadow Ghosts in large numbers.

Naturally, Su Chen wouldn't allow the number of Shadow Ghosts to keep increasing. He sent his subordinates to kill those Shadow Ghosts and saved the remaining members of the Restoration Army.

The Restoration Army soldiers were left trembling in fear. If the Red Alert Soldiers hadn't come to save them, they might have all turned into Shadow Ghosts.

"Do you have any research on Shadow Ghosts?" Su Chen asked Hewlett.

"I wouldn't dare keep it from you, my lord. We know too little about the Ghost Clan. If it weren't for me, as Prince, having access to some secrets, we probably wouldn't even know the general situation of the Ghost Clan," Hewlett said with a bitter smile.

"The Ghost Clan has been around for almost two years now, and you're telling me you haven't researched them during all this time?" Su Chen found it hard to believe.

Even Lisa's warship was conducting experiments on humans. How could there be no one researching the Ghost Clan here?

Human desire for power is frightening, especially for some madmen. As long as it's for the sake of gaining power, the survival of their own race is not an issue for them.

Hewlett carefully thought and then said, "I remember hearing a few months ago that a certain Base was researching the Shadow Ghosts and had achieved some results. I don't know if it's true or not."

"What's the name of that Base, and where is it located?"

"The Feiniao Base, it seems to be located to the east."

A Base that has conducted research on Shadow Ghosts could be quite essential for Su Chen.

If the matter of the Shadow Ghosts isn't resolved, the Ghost Clan could rise again at any moment. That's a hidden danger that must be eliminated.

Just as Su Chen was about to order an attack on the Feiniao Base, Yun Ru's excited voice rang out, "Commander, I've made a major discovery!"

Su Chen was taken aback. If Yun Ru was calling it a major discovery, it must be something extraordinary. What had she found?

"What did you discover?"

"You probably don't know this, but just now, the rabbit actually turned a Shadow Ghost back into a human!"

What?!

Su Chen stood up from his chair in an instant. Turning a Shadow Ghost back into a human? Could that be possible?

After all, Shadow Ghosts were a transitional stage from humans to the Ghost Clan. If they were completely changed back, they would become an entirely new form of the Ghost Clan.

To be precise, Shadow Ghosts and humans no longer belonged to the same species. Given this, how could a Shadow Ghost possibly be turned back into a human?

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Ru was the one saying this, Su Chen wouldn't have believed it. He was about ready to lose his temper.

"I'm coming right now."

Not long after, Su Chen arrived at the experimental laboratory. He saw Yun Ru standing beside an operating table. The rabbit was happily eating something that was impossible to look directly at. Could it be the entrails of the Ghost Clan?

On the operating table lay a human with closed eyes. No matter how Su Chen looked at him, he was unmistakably a human.

"Commander, just a few minutes ago, this person was still a Shadow Ghost. A living Shadow Ghost was brought here for dissection and research. Unexpectedly, the rabbit that was eating suddenly jumped onto him and bit his arm. Shortly afterward, he turned back into a human, although he hasn't woken up yet."

Yun Ru briefly explained what had happened, and Su Chen nodded before walking over.

This person was obviously a Restoration Army soldier, with traces of blood from the battlefield still on his body. Most of it was from the Ghost Clan's blood.

The blood of the Ghost Clan was different from that of humans. Humans had bright red blood, while the Ghost Clan's blood was dark, almost like ink.

Su Chen noticed the bite mark on the man's arm, and there was nothing special about it except for... the rabbit's saliva.

"Rabbit, do you know how you can turn Shadow Ghosts back into humans?" Su Chen asked.

"Meow meow..."

Translator Alice: "I don't know. I just thought he smelled good and wanted to taste it, but when I bit him, there was no taste. It wasn't delicious."

Su Chen recalled the first time he saw the rabbit, it actually took a bite out of the wall. He frowned. This rabbit was beyond saving.

The presence of a scent was probably due to the fact that Shadow Ghosts also carried some characteristics of the Ghost Clan, but they were too weak for the rabbit's taste.

The rabbit was quite a picky eater now, only eating Ghost Clan members that were at or above the fourth tier. Anything below that, and it wouldn't even look at them.

Su Chen couldn't be bothered to talk to the rabbit. Its mind was fixated on food. In that case, the most likely way to turn Shadow Ghosts back into humans... was the rabbit's saliva?

"Yun Ru, immediately analyze the rabbit's saliva."

Su Chen thought of this possibility. As a scientist, Yun Ru had already considered it. She pointed to a small device on the table and said, "I'm already in the process of analyzing it. It just needs some time."

After a while, Yun Ru obtained the results of the analysis.

"The rabbit's saliva contains a unique component with high activity, and it has a powerful effect in eliminating the Ghost Clan's pathogen."

Su Chen smiled. "So, you're saying the rabbit is a treasure after all? Its saliva can turn Shadow Ghosts back into humans. I never thought this would be the proper use of the rabbit." (To be continued)
