The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 408: Food on Yan Yun Star

When Commander gave the order, none of the Red Alert units dared to object, so their approach changed.

"Red Alert Base, three meals a day, enough to eat. Coming?"

"No matter how many people come, we'll take them in at Red Alert Base. What's that? You have over a thousand people? Brothers, pack up and take them with us!"

"Do you know a place with over ten thousand people? No need for more words. From now on, you can bring anyone you want; it doesn't matter if they're not human! Red Alert Base will take them all in!"

Of course, those who were willing to come were mainly attracted by the formidable combat power of the Red Alert units. Without strength, they wouldn't dare to come.

After all, everyone knew how terrifying the Ghost Clan's strength was.

As the number of people increased, there were naturally differing opinions.

"Is your Red Alert Base really that strong? Aren't you afraid we'll be lured into a trap with the Ghost Clan and sent to our deaths?" A discordant voice sounded, instantly quieting the people around.

The Red Alert Soldier looked over; the speaker was a scruffy-looking man who appeared to be homeless, dressed in tattered clothes.

"If you have objections to our Red Alert Base, you're free to choose not to come. We won't force you," the Soldier said with a serious expression.

If Su Chen hadn't known about the incident in the previous location, where the Soldier had directly ordered others to take physical action, he might have believed it!

"I've never heard of your Red Alert Base before. How come your base's name isn't on the top 100 list of Yan Yun Star's bases?" The homeless man persisted.

It was well-known that while base establishment was common on this planet, there were few bases with real strength.

To that end, Yan Yun Star had established a list of the top 100 bases, and any base that made the list was considered powerful.

Many people were familiar with this list, so they looked at the Red Alert units with puzzled expressions.

"Since you don't believe us, then I can only resort to..." The Red Alert Soldier's expression turned serious. "Winning you over with actions."

Tap, tap, tap!

A group of Red Alert units moved, directly throwing these people into vehicles and taking them away. This was Earth's way of "winning people over with actions."

The homeless man was left stunned. Why wasn't anyone following the expected procedure?

"Wait, I am..." Just as the homeless man was about to say something, a Red Alert Soldier knocked him out with a punch, cutting off his words.

In just one day, they had captured over fifty thousand people, bringing them closer to the requirement of one million.

"Commander, the Red Alert Soldiers asked the people from those villages, and they mentioned that their daily food is a kind of grain they grow themselves, similar to rice but a bit different," Yun Ru said.

"Oh? How is it different?" Su Chen became interested.

"Take a look." Yun Ru extended her hand, revealing a grain of rice.

Why describe it as a grain?

It was simple; this single grain of rice was the size of a grain of rice on Yan Yun Star.

"Damn, such a huge grain of rice?" Su Chen was astounded.

What kind of genetic modification did rice go through to become this big?

Wasn't this single grain of rice enough to feed several Earthlings for one meal?

"Yes, it looks similar, but it's much larger. Its nutritional content is higher than that of rice on Earth, probably due to the planet's conditions."

"So, because the planet is large, its products are also large?" Su Chen stroked his chin.

"And about meat, this is what I find unbelievable. Meat is very scarce on this planet. Only the wealthy can afford it; ordinary people can only eat rice."

"Why?"

"There are animals on this planet, but the people of Yan Yun Star nearly hunted them to extinction over the years. The current animals can only survive through domestication, but their reproduction rate is very low, and their numbers haven't increased."

Su Chen's mouth twitched. Compared to Yan Yun Star, Earthlings were practically weaklings.

You almost hunted the animals of an entire planet to extinction? Are you trying to become gods?

This was the first time he had heard of this, and it was truly difficult to believe. However, thinking carefully, with a population exceeding five billion and Yan Yun Star's technology, capturing animals would be simple. This wasn't surprising.

Rome wasn't built in a day; this saying applied here as well. The near-extinction of animals on Yan Yun Star hadn't happened overnight but had been caused over many years by ceaseless hunting.

It was just strange that the number of animals hadn't increased after they were domesticated.

Before the Apocalypse on Earth, if not for deliberately controlling the numbers, those domesticated chickens, ducks, and geese would have been more numerous than humans.

"Could there be some hidden reason?"

Su Chen didn't delve into it. Anyway, as long as there was rice to eat, the soldiers would have the strength to kill the enemy.

With the food source settled, the next step was to continue searching for Yan Yun Star's locals and the Ghost Clan's strongholds.

Up until now, the Red Alert Soldiers hadn't found a single Ghost Clan stronghold. At most, they had encountered the Ghost Clan while searching for Yan Yun Star people and then exterminated them.

During this time, they had captured some Ghost Clan prisoners and used Yuri Clones to perform psychic control on them to obtain information.

It turned out that the Ghost Clan had always existed underground on Yan Yun Star. However, unlike the Lunar people, they had no connection to the people of Yan Yun Star. In fact, the Ghost Clan were the native inhabitants of Yan Yun Star, while the current people of Yan Yun Star were newcomers.

The former Ghost Clan was a warm and hospitable race that lived carefree lives on Yan Yun Star.

But one day, a battleship discovered Yan Yun Star and its vast untapped mineral resources, arousing their greed.

The arrival of the Human army later brought disaster to the Ghost Clan. Faced with the immensely powerful Human army, the Ghost Clan couldn't withstand a single blow and could only retreat underground.

Seeing that the Ghost Clan posed no threat, Humans stopped pursuing them and began occupying Yan Yun Star.

As time passed, the number of people who knew about the Ghost Clan diminished. Later generations believed that they were the true natives of Yan Yun Star, not realizing that they were the descendants of invaders.

Of course, it was the same throughout the universe. When dealing with non-Human races, Humans didn't consider themselves cruel; they knew that when non-Human races confronted Humans, it was the same.

In the universe, battles between races were often ruthless.

However, this left behind a problem. The surviving Ghost Clan, living underground on Yan Yun Star for many years, had regained their strength and numbers.

On that day, they burst out from underground and launched a counterattack against Humans.

This marked the beginning of Yan Yun Star's disaster.

"So you mean we've become accomplices?" Su Chen chuckled. (To be continued)
