The Last Commander of the Red Alert

"Commander, all the Spies are assembled. Please give your orders."

Spy Number One stood at the forefront, saluting respectfully to Su Chen. Behind him, nine others of varying heights also stood—they were all Spies.

As the strength of the Red Alert Base continued to grow, so did the number of Spies. Currently, there were ten Spies within the Base.

Originally, with just three Spies, Su Chen had effortlessly taken control of the Yan Yun Star. Now, with the addition of seven more Spies, he could already envision the future.

"The reason I've called you here this time is primarily to deal with an organization called the Shadow Hall. Your mission is to infiltrate it, ideally reaching the highest ranks. I trust I don't need to instruct you on what to do next."

In terms of seniority and contributions, Spy Number One was undoubtedly the leader, and the other Spies followed his lead.

Su Chen had just finished speaking when Spy Number One said solemnly, "Commander, rest assured, we will penetrate the Shadow Hall and gain control of everything within the organization."

Su Chen nodded and then seemed to think of something, adding, "Of course, if you encounter other organizations or forces along the way, don't hesitate to infiltrate them as well. It doesn't have to be just the Shadow Hall."

Su Chen had a realization. With ten Spies at his disposal, sending all of them into the Shadow Hall might be overkill. Instead, he could let them use their initiative, which might lead to unexpected surprises.

Su Chen had high hopes for the Spies.

"Spy hasn't been doing their usual work for several months now. They must be itching to get back to it," Leng Yuwei came to Su Chen's side and spoke softly.

Since Ju Ling and Tanya were sent out for the Empire Conquest Plan, Leng Yuwei had taken their place, looking after Su Chen attentively. If it weren't for the Training Room, Su Chen might have put on weight by now.

As the person in the Base with permissions second only to Su Chen, Leng Yuwei naturally knew the role and contributions of the Spies. After learning about the Spies' capabilities for the first time, she had been utterly amazed. After all, the Spies appeared to be quite ordinary on the surface, and she couldn't fathom how they had contributed so much to the Red Alert Base.

It could be said that the Red Alert Base's achievements were largely thanks to the Spies.

Now that Su Chen had dispatched the Spies once more, it indicated that the situation this time was somewhat tricky.

"Yes, Spy needs to do what Spies do. Shadow Hall won't be the first or the last," Su Chen said after taking a sip of the tea Leng Yuwei had brewed, which had significantly improved in taste since the last time.

Su Chen couldn't help but acknowledge Leng Yuwei's high aptitude for learning. When she applied herself to something, she quickly mastered it. Su Chen still remembered the first time he tasted Leng Yuwei's cooking; he had almost keeled over on the spot. Her early attempts at cooking had been nothing short of biochemical weapons.

However, Leng Yuwei's cooking had improved so much that Su Chen nearly swallowed his tongue this time. The taste was drastically different from before.

"Is there anything significant happening within the Empire recently?" Su Chen casually inquired.

Typically, if something major occurred within the Empire, he would receive reports promptly. However, this time, Su Chen's expectations proved to be incorrect. 𝐫äNÓΒΕＳ

A hint of conflict appeared on Leng Yuwei's face, and Su Chen, upon noticing it, furrowed his brows slightly, his expression growing more serious. "Yuwei, you can tell me anything. Don't shoulder everything on your own."

Seeing this, Leng Yuwei shook her head slightly. "It's not what you're thinking, Su Chen. There's nothing amiss with the Empire. It's just that I've realized my strength is not sufficient. At least I need to reach the level of a Large Galaxy powerhouse to be considered capable of protecting the Red Alert Empire, so I was thinking..."

"No," Su Chen interrupted before Leng Yuwei could finish. His expression was even more solemn than before.

Su Chen had discerned the meaning behind Leng Yuwei's words—she wanted to consume the second fragment!

Consuming the first fragment had been possible only because of the fusion-type evolution template. Without it, Leng Yuwei wouldn't have had the capability. However, attempting to consume the second fragment carried too much risk.

Previously, after Yun Ru had calculated, the success rate of Leng Yuwei's fusion with the second fragment was less than thirty percent!

With such a low success rate, Su Chen would never agree to it.

He would only allow Leng Yuwei to proceed if there was at least an eighty to ninety percent chance of success, or even one hundred percent.

Leng Yuwei had already anticipated Su Chen's refusal, which was why she was conflicted.

Without Su Chen's approval, she wouldn't secretly touch the second fragment. She had learned from other Super Soldiers that Su Chen had done a lot to ensure her awakening.

"Yuwei, your strength is already the greatest in the Red Alert Empire, unless you encounter a Large Galaxy-level powerhouse. Otherwise, you are the most powerful," Su Chen said.

Leng Yuwei nodded, well aware of this fact.

Seeing that Leng Yuwei had let go of the matter, Su Chen's expression softened. "As long as the strength of the Red Alert Base continues to grow, I can directly enhance your power with Energy Points when the time comes. You won't need to take the risk of fusing fragments. When you have a sufficiently strong power, I'll consider letting you fuse the fragments."

Leng Yuwei understood Su Chen was concerned about her. She was clever enough not to press the issue and began discussing other matters.

On the other hand, after the ten Spies left Earth, they briefly discussed their plans and then went to different planets, increasing their chances of encountering Shadow Hall members.

Spy Number One wandered aimlessly through the streets without using his Disguise Ability, appearing as he normally did. He was concerned that Shadow Hall might have Powerhouses beyond the Small Galaxy Seventh Order, who could see through his disguise if he used it.

Why the Small Galaxy Seventh Order?

That was because their Disguise Ability had been upgraded, and now, only those two levels above their own strength had a reasonable chance of seeing through their disguise. It was impossible for peers of the same level.

Even in Shadow Hall, Small Galaxy Seventh Order and above were absolute Powerhouses. These individuals typically wouldn't involve themselves in trivial matters like hunting human spies. Such tasks were usually left to lesser underlings.

This conclusion was reached after their discussion, and all ten Spies strongly agreed.

This city was where they had previously captured a spy. Spy Number One may have seemed aimless, but he was meticulously observing everything around him.

Before coming, he had analyzed everything about Shadow Hall, including their preferences when selecting spies.

The chosen spies were preferably inconspicuous individuals, even those forgotten by most. Their disappearances wouldn't draw attention.

The most crucial point was that the spies they sought had one commonality—they were all criminals! (To be continued)
