The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 731: The Caterpillar
"Wait, what did you say?"
Su Chen had just gotten out of bed when he heard a message from Yuan Yizhong; he had discovered a space left by the Qiluo Civilization on a planet, which seemingly had survivors of the Qiluo Civilization.
Su Chen was very concerned about the Qiluo Civilization. After all, it was a civilization that had emerged from Earth, and it would not have met such a tragic fate if not for uncovering an earth-shattering secret.
What Su Chen coveted most was the spatial technology of the Qiluo Civilization. The Earth only retained some of their data, but he needed tangible artifacts. If he could find some real objects in this space, it would greatly benefit Yun Ru's research.
"Did you discover this?" Su Chen was somewhat puzzled. If he remembered correctly, wasn't Yuan Yizhong researching the Milky Way with Yun Ru Taru?
"No, it was Les who found it."
Su Chen was even more surprised. It was unexpected for Les to stumble upon such a place.
In fact, the discovery of this space was an accident. Les, bored and with no battles to fight, had gone out for a stroll on his own and by sheer chance came upon this place.
Su Chen was speechless. Could Les's luck really be this strong?
"It must be because he's leeched off my good fortune, it must be!"
This was a space left by the Qiluo Civilization, and Su Chen paid great attention to it, arriving at the scene at the earliest opportunity.
By his side were Les, Yuan Yizhong, Leng Yuwei, and Ju Ling – four individuals whose strength could be considered the pinnacle of the Red Alert Empire.
The planet was covered in ice and snow, with snowstorms and hail everywhere. Ordinary people wouldn't survive here for more than a few hours.
Les pointed to a frozen lake ahead and shouted, "Boss, this is the entrance to that space."
At a glance, it appeared to be just an ordinary ice lake. Su Chen couldn't fathom how Les had discovered it.
"How do we get in?"
"It's simple." Les summoned his scythe, soared forward, and struck the surface of the ice lake with great force.
Logically, his attack should have been able to split open the surface of the ice lake, but something strange occurred. The ice lake remained intact, and an entrance to a Space Channel appeared above it.
The group directly entered. At this point, even Ju Ling didn’t stop Su Chen's actions, considering she was now a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse, confident enough in her strength to protect the Commander.
As soon as Su Chen stepped inside, he felt a wave of warmth – a stark contrast to the frigid temperature on the other side. Any place warmer than there would feel pleasantly toasty.
But the warmth here gave Su Chen a familiar sensation, as if he had returned to Earth.
This space was actually constructed to mimic Earth!
They found themselves in a forest, with towering trees reaching up to a hundred meters, abundant flora, and even the occasional glimpse of wildlife. It was hard to believe that all of this was contained within an isolated space.
"Les, how did you know this space belonged to the Qiluo Civilization?" Su Chen suddenly remembered to ask. After all, there was no writing on the Space Channel to indicate it was of the Qiluo Civilization.
Les grinned and said, "Boss, you wouldn't know, but this is a unique spatial technology of the Qiluo Civilization. I've been studying their knowledge recently and recognized it at first glance."
Su Chen knew that the spatial technology of the Qiluo Civilization was special, but he couldn't discern what exactly made it unique – at least not in the way Les could.
Su Chen scanned the surroundings, noticing a lack of any human traces. What was most crucial was the size of this space—it remained unknown, though he presumed it couldn't be very large.
However, a few minutes later, Su Chen was proven dramatically wrong.
With their speed, a few minutes were enough to circle the Earth several times, yet here, they were still unable to traverse the boundary of this forest. It was as if the entire space was an endless woodland.
"Normal space can't possibly be this vast. If a created space is too large, it doesn't take much time before problems arise," Yuan Yizhong stated authoritatively. As a researcher from the Qiluo Civilization, his words were taken as the final word.
"Yeah, this space is peculiar. I always feel like..." Les stroked his chin, then, in a sudden movement, he summoned his scythe and swung it fiercely at the space ahead.
Ju Ling's expression changed drastically. This space was a crafted realm, and breaking the space here could trigger chaotic spatial torrents, putting their Commander in danger.
She was about to intervene, but in the next instant, she watched in horror as Les's full-force strike failed to shatter the space—an unbelievable outcome.
Les was a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse and a Reaper from the Protoss, his strength unparalleled. Outside, his full strike could tear apart space, let alone within it.
Yet the space here remained perfectly intact.
"As I suspected, the strength of this space is abnormally robust, and it's... vast," Les murmured, his eyes flickering as he observed his surroundings.
Through Les's eyes, the world appeared entirely different. Trees were no longer trees but turned into clusters of burning black flames, varying only in size.
After observing for a while, Les vanished from his spot, instantly reappearing elsewhere with his scythe already in motion.

"Nothing can hide from my sight!"
With Les's sweeping hook, the entire space underwent a transformation. If the space had been exceedingly solid before, now it seemed fragile to the touch.
Les returned, but this time, his scythe carried a small thing.
It was a plump, jade-green... caterpillar?
"What in the world is this?"
"I'm not sure myself," Les admitted. "I used the Eyes of the Reaper and found this creature. It seems related to the changes in this space."
The caterpillar seemed to be still asleep, unbothered even in Les's grasp.
Only Yuan Yizhong stared intently at the caterpillar, as if a thought had struck him, though he spoke with uncertainty, "I've heard some professors mention in our research group... In the universe, there exists a special kind of Cosmic Behemoth that loves to sleep. Their sole ability is related to space, but..."
Even Yuan Yizhong himself seemed to doubt this conclusion, as the caterpillar didn't resemble a Cosmic Behemoth at all.
"What's this Cosmic Behemoth called?"
"I don't know. With my permissions at the time, I wasn't privy to such information."
Su Chen pondered. This was a space left by the Qiluo Civilization, and within it resided a creature suspected to be a spatial behemoth. This suggested that this place could very well be a research facility left by the Qiluo Civilization.
A research facility was a treasure trove, brimming with technology that was free for the taking. (To be continued)
