The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 352: Abundant Ores Everywhere

A few minutes later, the Celestial Armor piloted by Su Chen and his team came to a halt in the sky above a certain area. This place appeared no different from its surroundings—everything was white.

"So, this is the place the South Emperor mentioned. But there's nothing here?" Su Chen scrutinized the area carefully, indeed finding nothing.

He then instructed his subordinates to begin searching in the vicinity. With the strength of the super soldiers, it wouldn't take long to search every nook and cranny. However, the result remained the same—nothing.

"The old method, bombarding the ground below!"

Su Chen decided to employ the same tactic they used to locate the Qiluo Civilization's refuge. All ten Celestial Armors opened fire at full force, creating a spectacular scene.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions were everywhere, causing avalanches on the surrounding peaks. Yet, as there were no inhabitants around, this wasn't an issue.

Seeing that there were no changes below, Su Chen couldn't help but show a hint of frustration. They couldn't even find an entrance, so how were they supposed to get in?

"Why didn't the South Emperor tell me how to enter?" Su Chen wondered aloud.

Just as Su Chen was feeling somewhat speechless, Yuri's voice came through, "Commander, my Psychic Power detected a missile that seems to have disappeared."

"Where?" Su Chen's excitement grew.

The disappearance of a missile suggested that it might have entered that place. It was a promising clue.

Guided by Yuri, Su Chen looked at where the missile had vanished. Surprisingly, it was behind a large stone.

This enormous stone was over ten meters tall and leaned against a small hill. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable.

Guangtou Qiang was the first to approach, inspecting the stone for any peculiarities. Naturally, he was the best choice for probing, as Su Chen didn't want to risk the Commander.

Guangtou Qiang pulled up a tree and hurled it at the large stone. In the blink of an eye, the tree disappeared!

Wait, that wasn't accurate. To be precise, it had entered the large stone.

Without needing Su Chen to speak, Guangtou Qiang entered the stone first to ensure its safety. Only then would Commander follow to prevent any danger.

After about a minute, Guangtou Qiang's voice sounded in Su Chen's mind, "Commander, I've reached a peculiar place. There are many types of ores here, scattered everywhere. After I came in, I found that the exit is gone."

Su Chen didn't immediately enter. Instead, he had Li Shaolong go in first to test whether everyone would end up together inside.

Fortunately, the entrance was fixed. After Li Shaolong entered and saw Guangtou Qiang, Su Chen instructed the other eight super soldiers to enter one by one. They began systematically searching the area, ensuring the safety of their surroundings.

A few more minutes passed, and Ju Ling's voice came through, "Commander, within a ten-kilometer radius, everything seems normal. There are no signs of any living creatures. It's safe here."

With a certain degree of security established, the super soldiers were willing to allow Su Chen in.

Steering the Celestial Armor, Su Chen took a step into the large stone. The next moment, the scenery before him changed, and he found himself in a different location.

As Guangtou Qiang had initially said, the place was spacious, covered in various piled-up ores—gold, silver, copper, crystals, and more. Everything was available.

The light in the sky was dim, as if obscured by dark clouds, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The distant horizon was impossible to see, and just as Su Chen was preparing to take the Celestial Armor into the air, Tanya hurriedly spoke up, "Commander, there seems to be restricted airspace here. We'll be attacked if we go fifty meters or higher."

Saying this, Tanya picked up a piece of gold ore and threw it upward.

The gold ore remained unchanged when it wasn't far from the ground. However, the moment it exceeded a fifty-meter distance, it vanished!

Wait, not vanished, but turned into dust!

Hiss!

This was the first time Su Chen had witnessed such a phenomenon. What on earth was this? It turned a piece of ore into dust in an instant?

Su Chen wasn't keen on testing the limits of this power with his subordinates. Such matters were futile and unnecessary, something Su Chen never engaged in.

Unable to fly at high altitudes, the Celestial Armor could only hover at low levels, which was still better than moving on the ground.

Gazing at the countless ores around him, Su Chen's mouth almost watered. These ores were energy sources in his eyes!

"System, can we build a base here?" Su Chen pondered.

"As long as you have an MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle), it's no problem," the System confidently replied.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen realized that even if the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) set out from the nearest Sub-base, it would take several days to reach this remote location. Therefore, it wasn't currently feasible.

Nevertheless, he gave the command to have the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) come here. He intended to absorb all the ores in this area and turn them into his energy sources.

Unaware of the situation, Su Chen remained cautious. Even the speed of flight had been reduced to a minimum, only slightly faster than an ordinary car on the ground.

"Other than high-altitude danger, I haven't seen any other threats here. Why didn't the South Emperor tell the other Emperors? What kind of opportunity or restriction is this place? I can't see anything," Su Chen murmured. Looking around, aside from ores, there was truly nothing else.

Where were the promised opportunities?

Where were the mentioned limitations? Su Chen had genuinely thought that there might be some special restrictions here, which was why the South Emperor had only told him. However, now he had brought nine people inside and found nothing at all.

Just as Su Chen was contemplating this, he heard Yun Ru's voice, "Commander, something's wrong!"

"What's going on?"

"Look over there."

Following Yun Ru's direction, Su Chen saw it—a river of ores!

That's right, a river entirely composed of ores. Each of these ores was solid and flowing in a single direction, like a conventional river. However, this was an incredibly eerie sight.

Su Chen could swear he had never seen solid objects flowing on their own before.

The ore river was long and wide, not inferior to any natural river. Su Chen decided to head upstream along the ore river, hoping to find where it originated.

They dashed along the path for an hour, yet the end of the ore river was still nowhere in sight. Su Chen felt something was amiss.

"Commander, maybe we've been searching in the wrong direction," Ju Ling suggested.

"Are you saying we should search downstream?" Su Chen inquired.

"No, by direction, I mean, searching from the ground might yield better results. Clearly, they restrict high-altitude entry. Therefore, there might be something different to discover on the ground."

After pondering this suggestion, Su Chen agreed. Ju Ling had a

point, and traveling on the ground wouldn't be much slower than flying.

The group descended to the ground, intending to proceed upstream along the ore river. However, the moment they touched down, something unusual occurred in the middle of the river. (To be continued)
