The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 40: I, the Invisible Man, am so arrogant!

That day, a mission appeared in Base City and all the Gathering Places in the vicinity.

The mission was simple: go to a Military Base, retrieve valuable intelligence from inside, evaluate the quantity and usefulness of the information, and then reward accordingly. These rewards would be jointly paid by the top ten families of Wangchang City!

As soon as this mission appeared, it caused a sensation among everyone.

The people in the Gathering Places were not well-informed and were unaware that Base City had just suffered a major loss from Su Chen. They eagerly accepted the mission and prepared to team up and go.

On the Base City side, they all knew that the top ten families had just suffered a defeat there. Most people just watched in silence, and hardly anyone dared to take on this mission, even though the rewards were generous.

In order to encourage Transcendents to take on the mission, the top ten families had offered many valuable items as samples. Any one of these items was enough to make a fourth-tier Transcendent go crazy, and they even had significant effects on fifth-tier Transcendents.

As for Transcendents of sixth tier and above, these items were generally useless to them.

Perhaps stimulated by these rewards, some Transcendents actually started accepting the missions. Tu Lei was one of them.

Tu Lei was a third-tier Transcendent, and his strength in Base City was only considered average. His life was okay, better than some but not as good as others.

When he saw this mission, he was very excited deep down inside. This mission was tailor-made for him.

Tu Lei possessed an extraordinary ability: he could turn invisible!

Yes, that's right, this twisted ability. Basically, as long as he turned invisible, unless it was a Transcendent of the fifth tier or higher, no one could detect him.

This was his greatest reliance.

Confidently, he believed that with his invisibility, he could easily infiltrate that Military Base and obtain vital intelligence.

In a large Base City like this, there were naturally more than just invisibility as a transcendent ability. Some people who were confident in their own abilities also accepted the mission.

"Base City has issued a mission for Transcendents to infiltrate the base and steal intelligence," Leng Yuwei hurriedly conveyed the information she knew to Su Chen.

Su Chen found it somewhat amusing. If he remembered correctly, wasn't infiltrating enemy bases one of the spy's skills in Red Alert?

Since these people wanted to infiltrate, he would give them a big surprise.

Tu Lei set off alone, and along the way, the Mutant Beasts were basically frightened off by the tank forces from earlier, which increased his speed. He arrived at the designated location without any obstacles.

Here, they saw numerous shell craters, indicating how intense the battle had been.

Tu Lei swallowed nervously. The military power of this Military Base must be terrifying if it could defeat the army of Base City. Would he die a gruesome death if he were discovered?

"No, it's impossible. My invisibility won't be detected. According to the mission information, the enemy only has powerful weapons and equipment but not individually strong Transcendents."

Tu Lei comforted himself and began using his extraordinary ability.

His body gradually disappeared, and in less than three seconds, he was completely gone, as if he didn't exist there anymore. He had successfully turned invisible.

Tu Lei boldly proceeded, but he was unaware that he had been detected when he entered the base's detection range.

"Oh, the first test subject has arrived so quickly?" Su Chen was somewhat surprised, but his expression froze when he enlarged the interface.

"System, come out and tell me where the intruder is."

"The opponent is a Transcendent with invisibility ability, invisible to the host's eyes. It's normal."

Having been openly scorned by the System, Su Chen decisively summoned his watchdog.

"Go, Erhua!"

As soon as he gave the command, a Hound rushed out from behind a rock, biting Tu Lei's buttocks.

Tu Lei hadn't even considered the possibility of a dog suddenly appearing, and he was bitten on the buttocks by the Hound on the spot.

"Ah!!!"

Tu Lei let out a heart-wrenching scream, and he couldn't even maintain his invisibility. He became exposed.

In pain, he knelt on the ground, holding a dagger in his hand, wanting to chop off the dog's head. However, when a gun was pointed at his head, he obediently stayed still.

"This is the first one, capture him and wait for Commander's judgment."

That was the only sentence Tu Lei heard before losing consciousness.

Tu Lei was only the first, not the last, and he wasn't the unluckiest.

The defensive perimeter of Su Chen's side was large, with various combat units scattered around. Bunker Hounds were the most common, and in one direction, Su Chen had placed a special combat unit.

This was a level-4 summoned unit, the Radiation Engineer.

This fellow looked a bit like a Magnetron Infantry and could no longer be considered purely human. His body had strong resistance to radiation, and the pipe-like apparatus on his body could create a radiation zone. Any life form, including some non-living entities, that entered it would be attacked by the radiation zone and die a miserable death on the spot.

Back in the game, Su Chen loved creating a few Radiation Engineers the most, blocking key roads and causing the opponent's soldiers to die one after another.

It could be said that the Radiation Engineer was truly an unbeatable defense.

Of course, if the opponent had long-range attack capabilities, the Radiation Engineer would be powerless.

The game and reality were different after all. In the game, the Radiation Engineer couldn't move once he put down the apparatus, but in reality, the Radiation Engineer could easily hide and move around.

However, the radiation zone had a very noticeable feature—it turned the ground green. Anyone with good eyes could tell something was wrong, so it depended on whether the opponent would be fooled.

To Su Chen's astonishment, there were indeed fools who fell for it.

That fool probably had a lucky mentality and walked directly into the radiation zone. Just a few steps out, he screamed and tried to leave, but he died right at the edge of the radiation zone.

This was the first time Su Chen had witnessed the power of radiation, which was completely different from the feeling in the game. It could be said that this guy was a lethal weapon.

As long as Su Chen threw the Radiation Engineer into the opponent's team, stuck the big pipe into the ground, and created a radiation zone, there would be no living beings around.

If that was the result with just one, then what about a group of Radiation Engineers?

Thinking about this, Su Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He realized that he couldn't think about things here using the mindset of a game. Many things here were different from the game, such as the fact that he couldn't make the Radiation Engineers fly and land like in the game.

On the first day, all the invaders were captured, and those who weren't captured were dead.

These invaders all possessed various special transcendent abilities, such as invisibility and disguise.

Unfortunately, these abilities had no effect in Su Chen's eyes and were discovered within minutes.
