The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 589: The Usage of the Parasitic Species



Zerg were quite unique. While it was relatively easy for Spy to disguise themselves as Zerg on ordinary occasions, once Brood issued commands to all the Zerg, Spy would be exposed.

A Zerg who couldn't hear Brood's commands was not a good Zerg!

Since Spy wasn't an option, Su Chen had to come up with an alternative plan.

Firstly, he needed to infiltrate the Zerg without being detected by the Zerg Hive. This was a considerable challenge.

Spies were the most skilled at disguising themselves among the Red Alert Base residents, and if they couldn't do it, no one else stood a chance.

As Su Chen pondered, a sudden revelation struck him.

"Oh, how could I forget about that?"

Some time later, an apparently ordinary human man stood before Su Chen. "Reporting, Commander. You called me back in a hurry. What are your orders?"

"For now, you'll have to abandon this body. I will prepare an advanced Zerg body for you to parasitize and gain control. Can you do it?"

"As long as its strength doesn't exceed mine, it should be manageable."

This human man was none other than the Parasitic Species.

Suddenly, Su Chen remembered something and asked, "I recall you mentioning that you can only coexist with the first parasitized intelligent life form. Subsequent parasitizations would make you a slave, right?"

At that time, Su Chen didn't think much about it, but now, he realized something was amiss.

The man before him was already the second intelligent life form he had parasitized. Why hadn't he become a slave? Instead, he seemed to be in control.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. Ever since I consumed a lot of black Energy Crystals and hatched from an egg, it seems like I no longer have the restrictions of my original species," Parasitic Species replied with a sense of mystery.

Thinking back to the massive amount of Energy Points that Parasitic Species had consumed from those Energy Crystals, Su Chen couldn't help but cringe.

"By giving up this body, will you lose your toxin ability?"

Su Chen remembered that Parasitic Species acquired a special ability when merging with intelligent life forms.

"No, I can preserve this ability. I can hold the abilities of up to three intelligent life forms simultaneously. It's a new power I gained after hatching from the egg," Parasitic Species said excitedly.

The transfer of Parasitic Species happened swiftly, taking only a few minutes. A Zerg at the peak of Seventh Order strength was now parasitized by Parasitic Species.

"How does it feel?" Su Chen asked as he looked at the Bug, which was no bigger than a soybean. No one would suspect that such a small Bug possessed the power of a Seventh Order peak Zerg.

They were an assassination squad within the Zerg, easily overlooked due to their small size. With their formidable strength, they might even be able to take down Eighth Order powerhouses.

Unfortunately, on the map, the strength distribution of all Zerg was clear, with different-sized dots indicating their power. It was unlikely to make a mistake.

A Seventh Order peak Zerg had been captured so easily.

The Bug swayed in the air for a while before returning to normal, and a voice echoed, "So, this is how the world looks through the eyes of the Zerg. It's fascinating. Commander, I have successfully parasitized this Zerg. Its consciousness remains, but it will be influenced and controlled by me. Even the Zerg Hive won't be able to detect it."

Parasitic Species was confident about this. As a cosmic species, they naturally possessed some unique abilities.

"Good. Your mission is to locate the exact location of the Zerg Hive. Go."

The next moment, the parasitized Zerg disappeared from the scene.

While it was only a matter of time before the parasitized Zerg revealed the location of the Zerg Hive, Su Chen continued with his original plan and attacked the sea to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Zerg Hives were intelligent, and if they sensed that Su Chen wasn't attacking their location, they might come up with other ideas.

The frenzied Zerg attack continued throughout the night, leaving a large number of corpses behind. After returning to the sea, the Red Alert Base had also suffered some damage, but Su Chen quickly repaired it using the maintenance function.

"Full army, advance!"

With a command from Su Chen, the entire coastline's naval forces set off, heading for the exact location in the middle of the ocean where the Meteorite had fallen.

The Red Alert army advanced with great momentum, ten aircraft carriers lined up neatly, followed by a multitude of various types of warships. Leading the formation was the ace of the Red Alert Base, the Super Fortress.

A figure stood atop the Super Fortress, looking down below.

"Commander said that this attack should display the power of Red Alert Base, and we mustn't let the Zerg Hive perceive us as merely feigning an assault," Ju Ling murmured.

In her hands, a sniper rifle appeared, her trusty partner, Soul Slayer, with bullets that seemed ready to claim the lives of Zerg at any moment.

"Commander, why am I not being sent this time?" Tanya pouted in the Base Command Room, showing some dissatisfaction.

She had thought that this time, the opportunity to take action would fall to her, only to be preempted by Ju Ling.

"Ju Ling is better suited for that kind of battlefield. When it's your turn to take the stage, I will definitely send you out," Su Chen reassured her.

Competition among Super Soldiers within the ranks had its benefits but also its challenges.

Lily had been busy outside lately, after all. The number of Super Soldiers here was still too small, and there weren't enough to go around.

"Master, have you forgotten that you have one more Super Soldier you can summon?" System timely reminded him.

"What? Is there still an unscheduled Super Soldier? Who is it?" Su Chen thought carefully. There were only a few official versions of Super Soldiers, with some repetitions, but he hadn't overlooked any.

Wait a moment!

Suddenly, Su Chen thought of something. Unlike Red Alert, which remained unchanged, the Yuri Faction had disappeared, replaced by the Empire of the Rising Sun. Lily, this Super Soldier, was newly created.

The Allied Forces in Red Alert remained unchanged, with Tanya as the Super Soldier.

However!

On the Soviet Union side, the Super Soldier had changed from Boris, the burly man with a hairy chest, to a seductive, alluring beauty!

Natasha!

If it weren't for System's reminder, Su Chen might have completely forgotten about this Super Soldier who belonged to him.

"Build Super Soldier Natasha and skip the construction time."

Su Chen strode towards the barracks, where he encountered the Super Soldier from the Soviet Union faction.

With her chestnut shoulder-length hair, slightly dark skin, and those unmistakable luscious lips, this was Natasha.

"Natasha, report to the Commander!"

"Welcome, Natasha. The situation is urgent, so let's get straight to business," Su Chen said, skipping the pleasantries. "I will boost your strength shortly. Afterward, you and another Super Soldier, Lily, will depart from the east and west respectively. Eliminate any Zerg you encounter and seize control of this planet as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Commander. I will make the enemy realize that the Angel of Death has arrived!" (To be continued...)
