The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Fortunately, Yuan Yizhong later commented that the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group was too ostentatious. They offended a certain influential figure and subsequently faced severe reprimands, which significantly diminished their strength.

Given the passage of time, it's probable that the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group no longer possesses its former might.

Regardless of the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group's current strength, the fact that Spy No. 2 could join them indicates that the group will eventually fall under his control.

"Credit Spy No. 2 for his contributions this time. Future rewards will be based on his subsequent contributions."

Having recently infiltrated the Shadow Hall, Spy No. 2 was unfamiliar with the organization's inner workings. They pretended to complete tasks assigned by Shadow Hall members while simultaneously gathering intel about the organization.

However, the progress was excruciatingly slow. Impatient with the pace and after wasting several days without acquiring any valuable information, Spy No. 1 decided to take a bold step. He planned to capture a member of the Shadow Hall, preparing his hidden Yuri Clones to enact psychic control at a moment's notice.

Due to Spy No. 1's meticulous planning, a member of the Shadow Hall was swiftly captured. The Yuri Clones immediately took action, taking control of the individual on the spot.

To Spy No. 1's astonishment, beneath the seemingly lifeless exterior of this individual lay a being that resembled a lump of mud. This entity belonged to a cosmic race known as the Mudclod Clan.

Spy No. 1, now vastly different from his past self, recognized this mud-like creature as a member of the Mudclod Clan, having spent a great deal of time studying such cosmic races.

The Mudclod Clan, a non-human race, is characterized by their mud-like appearance. What's even more astonishing is that this 'mud' possesses intelligence. However, this mud isn't ordinary; it's a special material with versatile uses. Consequently, the Mudclod Clan was once heavily persecuted by humans, nearly leading to their extinction. It was unexpected to find a member within the Shadow Hall.

After employing psychic control, Spy No. 1 gleaned all the information about this Mudclod Clan member. Without hesitation, he eliminated it. Using his disguise ability, he transformed into this Mudclod Clan being and even adopted its human-like outer shell.

"The Mudclod Clan member mentioned that every seven days, it communicates with its superiors. The communication point is always a specified location, where there's a bamboo for contact."

This 'bamboo' wasn't the plant as Spy No. 1 had imagined but a unique, single-use communication device crafted by Shadow Hall members. Such a device ensures that even if the lower ranks are captured, those above them remain unaffected. It was evident that the Shadow Hall was exceedingly cautious.

Four days had already passed since the last contact. Spy No. 1 only needed to wait three more days.

Three days later, Spy No. 1's attention was piqued when a bamboo slip suddenly appeared on the Mudclod Clan disguise. The slip bore a location and self-destructed within ten seconds of him picking it up.

Spy No. 1 was certain he hadn't let his guard down. Yet the bamboo slip still appeared on him. He could think of only two possibilities.

The first being that the enemy's prowess was so immense that he failed to detect them placing the bamboo slip on him. However, this seemed implausible. If the Shadow Hall had such powerful members, why resort to these methods? It would be foolish for a powerhouse to discreetly place bamboo slips on weaker members.

The only other explanation was spatial technology! The Shadow Hall had mastered spatial techniques and managed to pinpoint his location, effortlessly placing the bamboo slip on him. How they tracked Spy No. 1 remained a mystery to him.

The bamboo slip bore just an address, which was not far from his current location, just under five hundred kilometers.

Without wasting time, Spy No. 1 swiftly made his way to the address and indeed found a small bamboo device on a stone.

"Alice, has anyone been here recently?" Spy No. 1 covertly inquired of Alice.

Ordinary people wouldn't monitor a map continuously, but Alice could. For many operatives out on missions, their most reliable partner was Alice.

A few seconds later, Alice responded, "I didn't observe anyone on the map. However, based on my analysis, the air flow speed in this area is 5% faster than normal, suggesting a powerhouse may have flown by. I'm analyzing their flight trajectory. Please wait."

Given a clue, a brief wait was trivial.

In less than a minute, Alice's voice sounded, "Analysis complete. The individual went directly off-planet and disappeared."

Spy No. 1 felt a tinge of regret, having lost a channel to locate more important members of the Shadow Hall.

If not this time, he would wait for the next opportunity!

Each spy was tirelessly infiltrating the Shadow Hall. The Shadow Hall would probably never have imagined that such magical entities as spies existed in the world.

Elsewhere, Li Shaolong, after some effort, had taken complete control of a planet that continuously produced ores. For the Red Alert Base, this was an invaluable source of endless Energy Points.

"Commander, Qihe's strength is immense. Our most powerful Yuri Clones cannot fully exert psychic control over him. We request to use the Superweapon Instant Upgrade Device," the Deputy reported to Li Shaolong.

The power of most Yuri Clones is around the Small Galaxy First Tier. Those reaching the Small Galaxy Fifth Tier are rare, as they are on par with Super Soldiers.

Qihe, being at the pinnacle of Small Galaxy Seventh Order, was a powerhouse that stood out even among other planets.

Even without psychic defenses, the sheer gap in their powers prevented Yuri from achieving complete psychic control. Li Shaolong would not allow any secret to elude him.

In such a situation, the only solution was to use the Superweapon Instant Upgrade Device to elevate the Yuri Clones by three levels, instantly reaching Small Galaxy Fourth Tier. This way, the gap would be reduced, possibly enabling complete psychic control.

The only ones with such permissions, apart from Su Chen, were the Super Soldiers.

"Permission granted."

Soon after, the Yuri Clones successfully controlled Qihe and uncovered surprising news.

The Xingluo Marquis was not the real Xingluo Marquis!

It sounded contradictory, but it was true.

As a confidant of the Xingluo Marquis, Qihe had been by his side for decades. He was deeply familiar with everything about the Marquis. However, not long ago, he noticed a discrepancy: the Xingluo Marquis had seemingly forgotten the Secret Code they had established!

This was a code known only to the Xingluo Marquis and Qihe. Despite numerous hints from Qihe, this Xingluo Marquis acted completely oblivious.

Qihe finally concluded, he was not the real Xingluo Marquis! (To be continued)
