The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 645: The Beginning of the Empire Conquest Plan

On this day, Su Chen, assuming the identity of the Red Alert Empire Emperor, officially declared the commencement of the Empire Conquest Plan. Their next target was none other than the conquest of three planets!

As this news spread, it sent shockwaves throughout the Earth.

"What's happening, Your Majesty? How could we, in peace, suddenly embark on interstellar travel to attack other planets?"

"Don't forget, we already dispatched troops to attack the Yan Yun Star. We just don't know the current situation over there."

Back when they launched the attack on Yan Yun Star, most people were unaware that Su Chen had also gone with them. All they knew was that a few Emperors led a large number of troops to march to Yan Yun Star, and the reason was simple: seize the initiative!

Yan Yun Star had discovered Earth's location and even sent a Warship. This fact left many people feeling uneasy.

Of course, most of them were oblivious to the fact that the Warship wasn't sent by Yan Yun Star.

In their eyes, the fleet sent out several months ago was probably still traveling in the Universe, and they had never imagined that they had already conquered Yan Yun Star.

However, news soon spread that Yan Yun Star had been conquered, causing another uproar.

Everyone went crazy; they hadn't even dreamed that Earth had become so powerful. It had already conquered the second planet, which was just 0.5 light-years away from Earth. It was simply unbelievable.

Just a short while ago, they had been living in constant fear under the threat of Mutant Beasts. The contrast was like night and day.

Su Chen didn't care about what Earth's people were thinking. He simply announced the matter and conducted a Lottery, one that would determine who would go to Yan Yun Star.

The opportunity to go to another planet was something countless people had dreamt of, and this event immediately garnered significant attention.

"Do we really have a chance to go to Yan Yun Star? His Majesty isn't joking, is he?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty is a man of his word; he wouldn't joke with us. We'll definitely be able to go to Yan Yun Star. I just don't know if I'll be the lucky one."

"Whoever gets picked is a true lucky star; may the luckiest ones be chosen."

In contrast to the Empire Conquest Plan, the Lottery generated an even stronger reaction.

Many people desired to go to another planet to see how it differed from Earth. Throughout history, humans on Earth had always been curious about the outside world.

The rules for this Lottery were as follows: those interested in going would first register and receive a number. Subsequently, some of those numbers would be selected, granting them the qualification to go to Yan Yun Star.

Of course, not just anyone could go to Yan Yun Star. If a person had a criminal record, that wouldn't end well.

Each registrant would undergo a series of screenings, and if any criminal records or wrongdoings were discovered, they would be disqualified.

Even so, the number of people registering was still incessant.

Within this group, there were some special cases.

Both the Lunar people and the Yan Yun Star people who had been forcibly left on Earth were eager to go to Yan Yun Star. Even some Mutant Beasts and Mutants showed great interest.

As a result, the people in charge of the selection dared not make decisions independently and immediately reported the situation.

The matter quickly reached Emperor Ming's desk. As an official of the Empire, he had daily responsibilities similar to what he had experienced in the past.

"Hmm, even if Lunar people have a somewhat unusual appearance, they are still part of our human race. It's not surprising that the people from Yan Yun Star want to return to their own planet. But Mutant Beasts and Mutants? What are they thinking, wanting to go to other planets? Are they planning to trigger a new Apocalypse on another planet?"

Zhu Hui chuckled. If it were in the past, he would never have allowed these unruly individuals to go to other planets. However, he had learned from Su Chen that, just like Yan Yun Star and Earth, Red Alert Empire had full control over them. Even if all the Mutant Beasts and Mutants were sent over, they wouldn't be able to cause any upheaval.

"As long as they're law-abiding citizens, everyone passes the scrutiny. The specific criteria for screening will be the same as for our human race," Zhu Hui replied directly.

Soon, the person in charge received this message, and his expression became somewhat strange. Could it really be this way?

As a result, a new announcement appeared on the Empire's official website, essentially stating that all Red Alert Empire residents with no criminal records would be treated equally.

The Lunar people were the happiest about this development. After coming from the Moon to Earth, they had directly become Empire residents, and they had never violated the Imperial Law. In other words, all of them were eligible to apply for this Lottery.

The people from Yan Yun Star were the most frustrated. They were not Earth people, and there had been conflicts in between, so they had not become Empire residents; they had only been granted permanent residency, which was a different matter.

If it weren't for their decent strength and their ability to find some work to support themselves, they would likely have been driven to despair.

Lastly, there were Mutant Beasts and Mutants. Only Mutant Beasts and Mutants with full intelligence were eligible to apply for Empire residency. During this time, many Mutant Beasts and Mutants had become Empire members, and they even became a unique sight when walking down the streets.

But the hatred that had built up over the past thirty-plus years wasn't something that could be easily eradicated. Many humans, upon seeing Mutant Beasts and Mutants on the streets, often cast them sidelong glances, sometimes even showing a hostile demeanor.

Of course, it was all for show, as no one dared to take action on their own. The Imperial Law wasn't something to be trifled with.

If someone had a grudge against Mutant Beasts and Mutants, they could choose the Life-and-Death Arena, an option supported by the Empire.

As the saying goes, it's better to release pressure than to suppress it. Suppressing human hatred for Mutant Beasts and Mutants for so long would inevitably lead to trouble.

In this overall environment, some people still chose to accept them, as someone had to be the first to try something new.

This Lottery, in particular, stirred the hearts of many.

After a day of registration, nearly twenty million people in total had passed the screening!

This was not a small number, considering that not everyone had the courage to go to a foreign planet and start a completely new life. Most people chose to stay on Earth.

Among these numbers, a small portion included Lunar people and Mutant Beasts and Mutants.

Lunar people weren't an issue, but Mutant Beasts and Mutants needed to undergo regular inspections if they were to go to Yan Yun Star to prevent them from causing any trouble.

Mutant Beasts didn't pose much of a problem; the main issue lay with the Mutants. They were carriers of a virus, and any contact with regular humans could directly transform them into a brand-new Mutant. If that were to trigger a new Apocalypse, it would be disastrous.

Amidst the anticipation of the masses, a representative of the Empire began the Lottery in a live broadcast room. Such a small matter didn't require Su Chen's direct involvement.

"Next, we will witness the first Lucky One, and that is..." (To be continued.)
