Near the Iron Curtain Device, serving as the base's Superweapon, the defense was incredibly high. Soldiers were everywhere, ready to launch a frenzied attack at any sign of an enemy.
"This is going to be tough," mused Su Chen. "It seems we have no choice but to rely on the Knight to destroy the Iron Curtain Device while I activate the Weather Control Device."
After making the decision, Su Chen gave a brief explanation and dashed toward the direction of the Weather Control Device.
Sometime later, the Knight erupted into action. With a leap, he soared into the sky, a mechanical dragon materializing beneath his feet—an Ancient Mechanical Dragon Knight, a first in this Red Alert World!
Alarms blared throughout the Sub-base. Soldiers of all kinds reacted, their faces changing as they identified the dragon Knight in the sky.
Without needing orders, all anti-air units at the base targeted the dragon Knight, unleashing a barrage that illuminated the heavens. Yet, facing the multitude of cannon fire, the dragon Knight showed no signs of panic. Motionless, he rode his mechanical dragon, which opened its jaws to release a thick beam of energy that enveloped the cannons below.
The enormous explosion affected nearby structures, causing many to collapse.
Regular attacks seemed futile. Yuri Clones, Libra clones, and even Mind Control Vehicles emerged, followed by the activation of the surrounding Psychic control towers.
The Yuri Camps or Factions intended to exert Psychic control over the dragon Knight. Su Chen sneered inwardly. If their Psychic power couldn't even detect him, what good would Psychic control do?
As the dragon Knight wreaked havoc, Su Chen was also on the move.
Whether due to the dragon Knight's significance or some other reason, all units related to Psychic power around the Weather Control Device had been redeployed, leaving only those without Psychic abilities, such as Beastmen and Virus Snipers.
Su Chen approached openly until a Yuri Recruit stopped him: "No one is allowed near this place without the General's permission."
They likely didn't see the Yuri Recruit as an enemy but rather as someone who had wandered here accidentally.
At that moment, Su Chen acted decisively.
With a swipe of his dagger, the Yuri Recruit clutched his throat and fell backward with wide-open eyes.
In an instant, the others realized they were facing an enemy. The Beastmen roared and charged, and the Virus Snipers aimed their rifles at Su Chen.
But they had underestimated him. Against the Beastmen, Su Chen handled them with one hand, bursting their heads with his fists. He was faster than the bullets, and even when a Chronolegionnaire Troops attempted to flee, they were too slow, falling to Su Chen's attack.
The prowess of a Super Soldier was fully demonstrated against these adversaries.
Of course, this was Su Chen. Not all Super Soldiers could necessarily achieve this feat.
Having neutralized the defenses around the Weather Control Device, Su Chen stormed into the control room, only to be greeted by a bewildering array of buttons.
"What the hell is this?" he was flummoxed. He'd used the Weather Control Device before, needing only a thought to operate it. He hadn't realized that in reality, it required such complex control.
"How do I play this, by randomly pressing buttons and relying on luck?"
Just then, a distant explosion signaled that the dragon Knight must have destroyed the Iron Curtain Device. Seizing this perfect opportunity, Su Chen knew he had to activate the Weather Control Device.
"Screw it, let's do this haphazardly. I'm the European Emperor, after all!"
With a roar, Su Chen randomly pressed buttons. Somehow, perhaps through sheer luck, he managed to activate the Weather Control Device.
But as he saw the dark clouds spreading in the sky, Su Chen felt he might have made a mistake.
Sparks flew from the control panel, which then exploded. Yet, the Weather Control Device continued to operate, the dark clouds growing thicker, seemingly ready to crush everything beneath. Lightning rumbled within, gathering strength.
Su Chen sensed something was terribly wrong. The dark clouds were far more expansive than he'd expected. Had his accidental operation set the Weather Control Device to work at maximum power, leading to the current situation?
Regardless, he knew he needed to escape.
Running was futile; he didn't think he could outrun lightning. There was only one option left: the Hyperspace Teleportation Device!
"Dragon Knight, take over the Hyperspace Teleportation Device!"
Communicating mentally, he gave the order. The dragon Knight, aboard his mechanical dragon, began eliminating soldiers around the Hyperspace Teleportation Device.
Soon after, Su Chen arrived to find the dragon Knight battling a horde of Yuri forces. Given that this was a Sub-base, if not for the dragon Knight's unique capabilities, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.
Even so, the dragon Knight was wounded, and the mechanical dragon was in a sorry state, missing many components.
Entering the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, Su Chen sighed in relief. This operation was much simpler, something he could understand.
As he prepared to use the device to teleport himself and the dragon Knight away, he sensed faint electrical currents in the air—the Genetic Mutator!
"Have the Yuri high-ranking officials gone mad, using the Genetic Mutator right in their own Sub-base? Are they abandoning everyone here?" Su Chen was shocked.
The Genetic Mutator would transform all living creatures within its range into Beastmen. With his current power, Su Chen couldn't resist the genetic transformation. He had to leave!
Su Chen shouted, feeling the threat to his life more profoundly than ever. The system hadn't lied to him.
In this world, he faced mortal danger. If he turned into a Beastman, it would be tantamount to death.
The Hyperspace Teleportation Device whirred into action, emitting a blinding light. In a flash, Su Chen and the dragon Knight vanished. A second later, the Genetic Mutator activated.
Roars filled the air as all Yuri forces underwent genetic transformations, turning into Beastmen and howling on the spot.
Then, a thunderstorm descended, engulfing the entire Sub-base, marking the end of its place in history. (To be continued…)
