The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 652: Tremendous Changes in Yan Yun Star!

Ever since Su Chen started playing Red Alert, he had become deeply engrossed in the game, leaving all other matters in the capable hands of Leng Yuwei.

On this particular day, while he was thoroughly enjoying his gaming session, a message reached him. It was a report from one of the Red Alert soldiers stationed at the main base.

"Commander, just a moment ago, we received a signal from Yan Yun Star. They reported a significant change – the oceans are boiling, and the sea level is rapidly dropping. By the time they sent the report, the sea level had already decreased by half a meter!"

Su Chen's expression shifted. Despite the seemingly insignificant half-meter drop in sea level, one had to remember that it was an entire ocean, and Yan Yun Star was a colossal planet. Just that missing half meter of ocean could likely fill all the oceans on Earth!

The first thought that crossed Su Chen's mind was that something was amiss with the massive cavity at the bottom of Yan Yun Star's oceans.

He didn't rush to teleport to Yan Yun Star but instead contacted Yuan Yizhong, "Back when you were on Yan Yun Star, how did you deal with the Big White Rabbit?"

Yuan Yizhong had been a member of the Qiluo Civilization's research team on Yan Yun Star, and he possessed more knowledge about the place than Taru.

If it weren't for Taru and Yuan Yizhong both being under Su Chen's command, they might have ended up in a confrontation when they met.

"Commander, we tried to capture the Big White Rabbit, but we ultimately failed. Later, we discovered that it had entered the planet's interior through that cavity. There was nothing we could do but give up. However, we were concerned that the cavity might destroy Yan Yun Star, so we attempted to seal it using the spatial technology available at the time."

"Can it be done now?"

"No, to achieve that, we would need three researchers who understand this aspect of spatial technology. I am one of them, but we are still missing two people."

A strange smile appeared on Su Chen's face. While it might be impossible for others, he had just the right two individuals for the task: Yun Ru and Taru.

Taru, needless to say, had mastered all the technology left behind by the Qiluo Civilization during their time on Yan Yun Star. He had even successfully transferred his consciousness into that iron sphere, surviving until today.

Yun Ru, on the other hand, was his chief scientist and possessed a deep understanding of Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology that surpassed anyone at the entire Red Alert Base.

"Yun Ru, Taru, and Yuan Yizhong, teleport to Yan Yun Star together and seal the impending cavity at the bottom of the ocean," Su Chen commanded.

As for the issue on Yan Yun Star, Su Chen couldn't solve it completely for now, so he could only delay the problem by sealing it. After all, it was a planet under his control, and he wasn't willing to give up on it unless absolutely necessary.

Upon receiving the orders, the three wasted no time and used the Hyperspace Teleportation Device to transport themselves.

Since a single planet could only establish one set of superweapons, they came up with a solution. They would build bases on other planets or satellites as relay stations, allowing them to use the Hyperspace Teleportation Device multiple times.

Utilizing this method, the three quickly arrived on Yan Yun Star.

"Commander, here's the situation at the bottom of the Yan Yun Star cavity," one of the Red Alert soldiers reported without delay, showing them the current state of affairs.

In the scene, the cavity at the ocean's bottom was exuding an endless surge of heat, a colossal heat that caused the entire ocean to boil. If there were marine creatures within, they would likely be cooked to perfection. Soon, they would be able to enjoy a free seafood feast they couldn't possibly finish.

Due to the time that had passed since they received the message, the ocean's sea level had dropped even further. Following this trend, in less than two days, the entire ocean of Yan Yun Star might vanish into thin air.

"The seal is about to give way; we must quickly apply a new one," Yuan Yizhong immediately discerned the problem.

The so-called seal referred to the spatial barrier they had left behind. It was this spatial barrier that had enabled them to withstand the force of the massive cavity.

"Shouldn't the instruments for applying the seal still be in that city?" Yun Ru looked at Taru.

"All the instruments are there, including that one," Taru replied.

The three wasted no time. They had no time to spare on Yan Yun Star.

With the assistance of a Chronolegionair Troops member, they were directly transported to the tunnel and entered the city that the Qiluo Civilization had left behind.

Seeing this place, Yuan Yizhong felt somewhat nostalgic. He hadn't expected to return here after so long.

The actions of the three were swift, as Yan Yun Star could no longer afford them any delays.

Still assisted by the Chronolegionair Troops, they were transported right next to the underwater cavity. The heat here was absolutely terrifying. Were it not for their formidable strength and specially designed instruments, they would have likely melted instantly in the extreme temperatures.

"Hurry," Yun Ru urged.

The three began using the instruments. When it came to spatial technology, operating the instruments was intricate and complex. Even the slightest error could affect the overall operation, and only researchers who fully comprehended this aspect of spatial technology were qualified to use them.

Rumbling!

Suddenly, cracks appeared around the cavity, and it seemed to be expanding. In that moment, the three had finally adjusted the instruments and initiated the process.

Sizzle!

A semi-transparent film-like substance appeared in the middle of the three instruments. This was the spatial barrier they had created.

The spatial barrier was like a piece of fabric gently laid over the cavity. The vibrations around the cavity gradually ceased, and the temperature slowly decreased. The cavity had been resealed.

"It's a pity that the instruments here can only apply one layer of the spatial barrier. In the past, on the Mother Star, there were instruments capable of applying ten layers of the spatial barrier," Yuan Yizhong lamented slightly.

Yun Ru shared the sentiment. She had searched the shelter multiple times back then but hadn't found any instruments that could apply ten layers of the spatial barrier. Otherwise, with ten layers, they wouldn't have needed to reseal it for a long time.

"These instruments can't apply a second layer of the spatial barrier. When this one wears out, we'll have to do it all over again. It's quite troublesome," Yuan Yizhong remarked.

"This seal can only last for less than a year at most. As the power of the cavity strengthens, even the seal won't hold," he sighed.

Suddenly, Yun Ru thought of something. "The ones who applied the seal to the cavity initially were all of you. But when all of you encountered accidents, who continued to apply the seal to the cavity?"

Yuan Yizhong's expression froze. Yes, they had all met with misfortune, and even he had only his consciousness left. So, for all these years, who had prevented the cavity from erupting?

Both of their gazes turned to Taru, who straightforwardly replied, "It wasn't me."

If it wasn't Taru, then who could it be? They were certain that only the spatial barrier could block the cavity. Could it be a powerful individual with spatial abilities who regularly sealed the cavity? (To be continued...)
