Chapter 205: Super Soldier Yun Ru

With pink hair and a white lab coat draped over her petite body, Yun Ru looks younger than her 17 years of age. She is the super soldier that Su Chen drew from a platinum-tier lottery in the form of the civilian version.

She was extracted by Su Chen during his fourth use of the Lucky Halo, and he was ecstatic to draw a civilian version super soldier for the first time. However, Yun Ru's first words upon appearing were, "Scientist Yun Ru reporting for duty. Are you my master?"

Su Chen was baffled by her introduction and wondered if he needed to try again with a different approach.

Seeing Su Chen's reaction, Yun Ru chuckled and revealed that she was just playing around with him. This showed the difference between the civilian and official versions of super soldiers; the official versions showed reverence towards Su Chen and didn't joke around with him, but the civilian versions were less restrained and more casual in their attitude towards him. Nonetheless, their loyalty remained at maximum.

After speaking with Yun Ru, Su Chen learned that she wasn't a combat-oriented super soldier but was more interested in scientific research. This was beneficial for Su Chen, as he had many things that needed researching. With the help of Yun Ru, he believed that he could quickly master those technologies.

Su Chen appointed Yun Ru as the head of all engineers and tasked her with mastering new technologies. Yun Ru didn't disappoint him; within a few days, she had fully grasped the Tengu Mecha technology, and as for the Centurion Siege Mech, Yun Ru had actually designed it herself and didn't need to research it.

Yun Ru even came up with ideas for new mechas and spent the next month researching them. If the mechas could be developed, they would be ones that didn't exist in Red Alert, which got Su Chen excited.

From then on, Su Chen would ask Yun Ru about the progress on the mechas every day. At first, Yun Ru would speak politely as Su Chen's commander, but later on, she became frustrated and lashed out at him. Su Chen didn't take it to heart since he was keen on the new mecha.

In reality, Yun Ru only wanted to combine the Tengu Mecha and Centurion Siege Mech, creating a mecha with the firepower and defense of a Centurion and the flight and transformation abilities of a Tengu. If they succeeded, it would become the mainstay of humanity.

According to data analysis, once the mecha was successfully developed, a second-tier Transcendent could pilot it and could even take on a fifth-tier Mutant Beast. This would undoubtedly usher in a new era for humanity.

Su Chen's combat power had reached double digits, but his authority remained at level 7. According to the System, he hadn't met the requirements for triggering level 8 authority, which frustrated him.

"I have more than ten million units of energy and more than ten subordinates with combat power in the eighth tier. Isn't that enough?"

Su Chen could only focus on controlling Base Cities. He had eight so far, and he only needed one more to complete the third-level mission. The System took into account the number of Base Cities he had controlled before the start of the third-level mission, reducing his task count by more than ten, which made Su Chen happy.

But as he controlled more Base Cities, he was eventually discovered by the Human Emperor, Zhu Hui, who sought him out.

"Brother, with so many Base Cities under your control, what do you want to do?" Zhu Hui asked directly.

"Nothing much, just want to use more resources to deal with Mutant Beasts and Mutants," Su Chen replied calmly.

Zhu Hui pondered for a moment and said, "If you could kill all the Mutant Beasts and Mutants, even if you control all the Base Cities, what's the point? Do you have the confidence to do that?"

"Brother Hui, you've witnessed the power of my weapons. Do you think I can't do it?" Su Chen replied confidently.

Zhu Hui remembered the scene he had seen before, the power to control the weather, which had impressed him greatly.

He knew that the South Emperor couldn't hold on for much longer. Once the Mutant Beasts knew that the South Emperor was no longer a threat, humanity would eventually be wiped out. So why not take a gamble now?

"Okay, I can persuade the other Emperors to provide you with all the necessary resources, and even if necessary, we old guys can follow your orders," Zhu Hui said.

Zhu Hui didn't say these words without reason. He was shocked when he found out that Su Chen controlled eight Base Cities.

This was real control, not just nominal control like they had.

What was even more shocking to him was that he had seen through the satellite that there were a large number of black dots on the map, and those dots were all bases owned by Su Chen.

Zhu Hui had noticed that Su Chen's bases could be built quickly. Now that there were more than a hundred bases on the map, if others knew about it, they would not believe it.

Now all the Base Cities were using weapons produced by the Red Alert base, and the power of those weapons gave the four major defense lines an advantage. Zhu Hui didn't think that the mist was the most powerful weapon in Su Chen's hands.

Everyone would keep their strongest weapons for themselves.

It was these objective conditions that made Zhu Hui make this decision. Otherwise, if Su Chen had nothing, Zhu Hui would not have said that.

Su Chen smiled. He knew that Zhu Hui would make this choice. He had known for a long time, as someone in his position, that humans had no right to compete with Mutant Beasts. Everything was because of the South Emperor.

In the previous war, humans still had a Northern Emperor, but unfortunately he was besieged and killed by Mutant Beasts. The remaining ones were almost all carried by the South Emperor alone, who also taught the other Emperors and was respected by them.

The South Emperor was already at the peak of the eighth rank. He had always hoped to take the next step and reach the ninth rank, but he failed.

For decades, his strength had not improved at all. Instead, it had decreased because his lifespan was reaching its limit.

In recent years, the South Emperor had been trying to support himself. He knew that if he fell, humans would really have no hope. His only hope was that before he fell, someone could emerge to replace him.

Breaking through to a higher level of strength was not that simple. Currently, the second most powerful Emperor among humans was Emperor Kong, whose strength was almost at the late eighth rank. Unfortunately, he had been trapped and could not break through that level.

The South Emperor was too old and could fall at any time. Once he was gone, humanity's countdown would begin.

Of course, that was before Su Chen appeared. Now, Su Chen's power covered the entire human territory, with his pieces placed among the ocean Mutant Beasts, Mutants, and land Mutant Beasts.
