The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 614: Yuan Yizhong's Submission

This was the first time Su Chen had seen a genuine Qiluo Civilization individual, and one who was still alive at that.

"This body isn't originally yours, is it?" Su Chen said naturally.

Yuan Yizhong stared fixedly at Su Chen, the Red Alert Base Commander. If he remembered correctly, wasn't this individual supposed to be on his way to Yan Yun Star? Even if there were some small wormholes left behind by the Qiluo Civilization, it shouldn't be possible for him to return so quickly.

Yuan Yizhong didn't know that Su Chen had arrived at Yan Yun Star in an instant, not only taking control of Yan Yun Star but also taking control of a second Earth.

"That's correct, my original body disappeared long ago, leaving only my consciousness," Yuan Yizhong replied truthfully. After all, so much time had passed since the Qiluo Civilization that many had forgotten its existence. His physical body couldn't have survived this long, only his consciousness could have endured.

Su Chen sat down on the chair Tanya had prepared for him, his gaze overlooking Yuan Yizhong. "Speak up. You traveled all the way from Yan Yun Star, so it's not just to destroy humanity, is it?"

Yuan Yizhong remained outwardly calm, but inside, he was surprised. How did Su Chen know he had come from Yan Yun Star? Had he been to Yan Yun Star himself?

"Have you been to Yan Yun Star?" Yuan Yizhong couldn't help but ask.

"I've seen your temple there, to be honest, it's not all that impressive," Su Chen said dismissively.

Indeed, he had a temple on Yan Yun Star, a contingency plan for transferring his consciousness. He had waited countless years for a group of people to enter his temple, find the coordinates of his Warship and Earth that he had left behind, and successfully arrive on Earth.

What he hadn't expected, however, was that after all these years, the Qiluo Civilization had long disappeared from Earth, and now Earth was dominated by humans. To revive the glory of the Qiluo Civilization, he had to clean up Earth; humans were the biggest obstacle.

Deep down, Yuan Yizhong didn't consider humans to be his kind.

"Even with the tiny wormholes left behind, at your speed, it's impossible to travel back and forth between two planets in just four or five months," Yuan Yizhong insisted.

You see, initially, it had taken Lisa and the others over a year to successfully reach Earth aboard the Warship.

Su Chen's lips curled up as he uttered two words, "Spatial technology."

Yuan Yizhong was left speechless. As a survivor of the Qiluo Civilization, how could he not know the power of spatial technology? It was precisely because of their advanced spatial technology that the Qiluo Civilization had grown so quickly and had come close to becoming one of the highest-ranking civilizations among humans.

"Even with spatial technology, it's impossible to cover such a vast distance without the passage of time," Yuan Yizhong argued.

Seeing that Yuan Yizhong was still being stubborn, Su Chen couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation. Yun Ru, who was standing next to him, spoke up, "What if we obtained all of the Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology?"

However, what surprised everyone was Yuan Yizhong's strong reaction.

"Impossible! How could you lowly humans possibly obtain the great Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology? Absolutely impossible!" Yuan Yizhong looked manic, poised to erupt at any moment, as if Yun Ru's words had angered him.

"Take a look at this," Yun Ru said, waving her hand. A semi-transparent interface appeared in front of Yuan Yizhong, displaying a small portion of the original Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology.

Yuan Yizhong was once a researcher of the Qiluo Civilization, and when it came to the technology left behind by his own civilization, he could instantly recognize its authenticity.

"It's impossible, why would they leave the Flame Seed to these inferior humans? Why didn't they wait for my return?" Yuan Yizhong seemed deeply disturbed, muttering incessantly.

"Yuan Yizhong, I'm not interested in your personal grievances, but if you can share some information about the Qiluo Civilization from the past, perhaps I'll offer you some favorable treatment as a captive," Su Chen remarked.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Yuan Yizhong seemed to snap back to reality. He let out a cold laugh and looked at Su Chen, "Do you think I would reveal the secrets of our civilization?"

"Why wouldn't you? What you want to do is revive the Qiluo Civilization, and that poses no problem for me," Su Chen replied.

The surrounding Super Soldiers were taken aback by Su Chen's words. They instinctively wanted to dissuade their Commander, but then they realized that Commander wouldn't casually utter such words, so they continued to watch.

Yuan Yizhong looked at Su Chen with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Su Chen to say something like this. Was he insane?

"Are you serious?" he asked.

"Of course, I've acquired all the technology left by the Qiluo Civilization. If you think about it, I'm essentially half of the Qiluo Civilization myself. So, what's wrong with reviving it?" Su Chen responded.

Upon careful consideration, Yuan Yizhong realized the logic in Su Chen's words, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

For a moment, the room fell silent. Even Les, who usually enjoyed stirring up trouble, was uncharacteristically quiet, acting as an observer.

"Alright, as long as you help me revive the Qiluo Civilization, I'll not only tell you some secrets about it but I'm also willing to become your subordinate," Yuan Yizhong declared.

"You should know one thing—I don't like subordinates who pretend to be loyal behind my back. Do you understand?" Su Chen warned.

Yuan Yizhong took a deep breath and walked up to Su Chen, kneeling before him. "I, Yuan Yizhong, am willing to be Commander's subordinate."

"Very well," System's voice chimed in, confirming Yuan Yizhong's genuine submission.

Perhaps it was a momentary bout of sincerity, and he might contemplate betrayal in the future. However, Yuan Yizhong would never suspect that the instant the thought of submission crossed his mind, he would become Su Chen's most loyal subordinate.

At this moment, the Super Soldiers finally understood Commander's plan. He had managed to turn an enemy into a subordinate with such a simple act, earning their admiration.

Les, on the other hand, remained oblivious. In his eyes, it was all just a simple, entertaining show. He grinned from ear to ear.

With Yuan Yizhong's matter resolved, Su Chen turned his gaze toward Les, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. "Les, according to Su Yi, you seem to have been quite well-behaved lately."

"Of course, I, Les, am known as the model of good behavior. Who can match my level of decorum?" Les boasted proudly.

Su Chen suddenly realized that Les had become even more shameless than before.

"Well then, can you roll out of my brother's body?" (To be continued...)
