Chapter 818: Milky Way Encounter (1st Update)
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX The beauty of the Milky Way was truly one
The beauty of the Milky Way was truly one of the most peculiar landscapes in the universe.
Initially, Su Chen thought that the Milky Way only consisted of the shimmering Milky Way water with its colorful radiance. However, not long ago, scattered throughout the Milky Way, warships unexpectedly discovered an island!
Yes, it was indeed an island floating on the water.
Uncertain of potential dangers within, Alice instructed a group of robots and warships to explore. Unfortunately, they soon lost all communication.
"I was ready to enjoy my time in the Milky Way, and now you've found such trouble for me," Su Chen sighed helplessly, looking at Libra.
This piece of news was reported to him by Libra.
Yun Ru was on a mission, leaving Libra in charge of the Milky Way. As soon as she learned of this information, she immediately informed Su Chen.
Su Chen had planned to take Yuwei to enjoy the Milky Way, but this unexpected event disrupted his Milky Way journey.
Su Chen thought about it; indeed, this was the right course of action. This island was like a time bomb within the Milky Way. If they didn't deal with it, who knew what problems might arise.
The last encounter with the temporal chaos zone, as reported by Libra, made Su Chen wary. According to her, if it weren't for Xiaomi leading her out at that time, she might have been killed by the mysterious power within the temporal chaos zone.
Why did the Milky Way have such a peculiar temporal chaos zone?
One who could resist such unparalleled mysterious power might truly be able to traverse time—go back to the past or into the future. Of course, without Xiaomi's abilities, returning might be nearly impossible.
"Commander, the Milky Way is currently not very safe. You and your wife stay here; I'll send soldiers to investigate," Libra suggested.
Su Chen didn't insist on going himself. While he was powerful, being a Large Galaxy level, in this vast universe, even Constellation-level beings couldn't claim invincibility. What was a Large Galaxy in the face of a danger that even Constellation-level beings feared? Going there would be seeking death.
"Dispatch a few Chronolegionair Troops, see if they can teleport out."
The Large Galaxy version of Spy Satellites could observe any place in the Milky Way system, but ironically, it couldn't see what was happening within the Milky Way itself. Fortunately, Shipyards could now be constructed in the Milky Way, along with signal amplifiers, allowing them a glimpse into the scenes within the Milky Way.
This capability was exclusive to the Red Alert Empire.
On the screen, Su Chen saw a seemingly ordinary island covered in various trees. The colorful Milky Way water continuously washed against the shores of the island.
"Since the discovery until now, none of the robots we sent out have found anything. All signals were lost, as if the moment they disappeared from our sight, problems arose," Libra reported.
At this moment, warships carrying soldiers from the Red Alert Empire gradually approached the island. They cautiously entered, each person equipped with ropes made of the Empire's most robust materials. The first batch of soldiers stepped onto the island.
The soldiers' figures gradually disappeared from view. After about a minute, the soldiers behind decisively pulled on the ropes, and trouble occurred!
Some ropes were yanked back directly, snapping in the middle. Soldiers disappeared without a trace!
"Analyze immediately, what cut the ropes?" Libra ordered.
A group of scientists began to study the situation. The ropes were cleanly cut, as if by some sharp instrument.
The issue was, at the moment the ropes were pulled back, the soldiers distinctly felt that the other end of the rope was still moving forward. In other words, at the instant they pulled the rope, the soldiers disappeared, and the rope snapped.
"Commander, our analysis indicates that there should be some kind of advanced technology inside, instantly severing the ropes. This is not something an ordinary person can achieve," the scientist explained.
The material of the ropes was on the same level as the exterior shell of the warships, capable of withstanding attacks from Small Galaxy levels.
The soldiers who went in were all Small Galaxy First Order in strength, equipped with Psychic shields. In this situation, they didn't make any sound and were directly killed. This island was very dangerous!
"Is it possible that some kind of creature did this?" Libra asked.
"The possibility is low. Any biological attack on the ropes wouldn't cause this phenomenon. We firmly believe it's the result of technological weapons."
Su Chen gazed at the island. Could there be a high-tech base inside this island?
An island floating in the Milky Way was already strange enough. So, encountering another bizarre phenomenon wasn't surprising.
"Destroy the trees from the edges and advance gradually," Su Chen ordered.
The soldiers had disappeared when they were out of sight, so now, he wanted to see what would happen without anything obstructing their view.
The island was large, not much smaller than Earth, a size only possible in the Milky Way.
The group of Red Alert soldiers immediately turned into lumberjacks, starting to cut down trees.
Soon, they discovered that these trees were incredibly tough, with various characteristics. For example, the hardness of a tree rivaled that of their average metal.
One tree even displayed powerful elasticity, bouncing back when struck with an axe.
Su Chen speculated that the uniqueness of these trees might be related to the Milky Way.
Milky Way water could enhance biological evolution, and perhaps the same applied to plants. Relatively speaking, plants had a higher success rate in evolution compared to humans.
As they continued to cut down trees step by step, they advanced several kilometers without any soldiers disappearing.
Oddly, they didn't find anything along the way—no signs of the disappeared robots or Red Alert soldiers.
"Establish a base. From the center of the base, continue development. I want to see what secrets are hidden on this island."
The MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) appeared on the island and began constructing various buildings. The surrounding Red Alert soldiers increased their cutting speed.
Their actions seemed to anger some presence on the island. Just then, Alice's voice suddenly sounded, "One Red Alert soldier is missing. Everyone, be cautious."
Alice monitored the soldiers at all times, and she noticed the absence of one person immediately.
Su Chen looked over and saw only a specially crafted axe left at the base of a large tree. The original Red Alert soldier was gone.
Among the present Red Alert soldiers were Large Galaxy First Order individuals—Su Chen had purposely elevated their strength. Yet, he hadn't noticed anything just now.
"Initiate reverse playback, accelerate it by a hundred times," Alice said.
Following that, an interface appeared, displaying the scene that had just occurred.
