Danger. Crisis emerged.
The sharp roar echoed, occasionally reaching Chen Yu's ears, making him impatient.
"Damn it, which i***t is playing war movies so loudly early in the morning? Why don't you watch action movies instead?" Chen Yu grumbled, half-awake.
What greeted his eyes was the familiar room, as dull as ever, seemingly unchanged for decades or even centuries. Ridiculous!
"What the heck is going on? How did my room end up like this?" Chen Yu exclaimed, astonished.
The description of decades or even centuries wasn't an exaggeration. It was a reality that unfolded before Chen Yu's eyes. The room seemed to have experienced a long period, with peeling walls revealing the bricks underneath. The table by the bed was on the verge of crumbling.
Most importantly, he felt that the bed beneath him was struggling to hold up.
Crack! Bang!
A cloud of dust rose, choking Chen Yu. After coughing for a while, he stood up from the dilapidated wooden board, looking at the familiar yet strange room. He had no idea what had happened.
Wasn't he just having barbecue with friends last night and slept at home? Could someone explain how he woke up to find his room in this state?
At that moment, an explosion occurred not far away, and the loud roar almost scared Chen Yu. What the heck was going on? Was there a war outside?
Chen Yu approached the window, observing the situation outside. At first glance, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Damn, is this really the city I live in?" Chen Yu couldn't believe what he saw. Previously, looking out of the window, he would see a bustling crowd, but now, he witnessed a dilapidated street as if it had been bombarded with shells, full of ruins, desolate and eerie.
He could even hear gunshots!
Crouching down anxiously, Chen Yu felt a sense of panic. Waking up inexplicably to a world that had become so unfamiliar, how could he stay calm?
At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind: "Master, the Red Alert system is at your service."
"What? The Red Alert system?" Chen Yu was bewildered, taking a while to regain his composure.
Although he was not unfamiliar with the concept of a system, having read many novels before, even knowing about Red Alert, a once-popular game, it still felt surreal to have a system himself.
Excited, he calmed down and asked the first thing that came to mind, "System, do you know how I ended up here, and what's happening outside?"
"The location where the master is currently situated is a parallel world of your original world. The massive energy that occurred during the binding of the system and the master brought you here. The development of this world is roughly similar to your world, but 30 years ago, countless animals and plants on Earth mutated, challenging the human position. Humans initially resisted with a large number of weapons, but as time passed, the mutated beasts became more powerful, and ordinary weapons couldn't harm them. Currently, humans are at a disadvantage."
"Wait a minute, if the development is similar, does this world not have nuclear weapons?" Chen Yu was skeptical.
"The similarity in the trajectory of world development does not guarantee the existence of identical elements. This world does not have nuclear weapons."
Chen Yu silently mourned for the people of this world for three seconds. Without nuclear weapons, how could they deal with those mutated beasts?
Chen Yu remembered that Red Alert had many powerful super weapons. Just pulling out one of those would shock the world, especially his favorite Weather Control Device – a massive weapon capable of wiping out enemies within a radius of dozens of miles in an instant.
"System, where's my base vehicle?" Chen Yu looked around and didn't see the presence of his base vehicle. Without it, how could he manufacture his Weather Control Device?
"Due to the master's current location not being suitable for deploying the base vehicle, the system suggests that the host choose a concealed location for easy deployment of the base vehicle."
The next second, a piercing alarm sounded in Chen Yu's mind: "Alert! Alert! Highest level, Red Alert! The master is in a dangerous situation. According to the system guidelines, protecting the master is the top priority. Temporarily exempting the requirement to deploy the base vehicle, exempting the requirement for a barracks. Direct soldier construction is allowed. Currently, the master has 1000 initial energy points, and each soldier requires 100 energy points. Does the master want to construct soldiers?"
Chen Yu was stunned by the system's prompt, nodding, "Build immediately."
"Building one soldier requires 1 minute. Considering the master's current situation, an additional 10 energy points will be deducted to eliminate the construction time. The master can build a total of 9 soldiers."
As the system finished speaking, nine figures appeared in front of Chen Yu. They were dressed in military uniforms he had never seen before, holding AK47s that he had only seen in pictures online. Desert Eagles hung from their waists, small pouches containing bullets and a small amount of food. A delicate dagger was tucked into the leg strap, and they looked alert.
"Reporting to the commander!" The voices of the nine soldiers were extremely loud, their eyes seemingly emitting a gleam of determination.
Chen Yu, looking at these nine soldiers, found it hard to imagine that they were bio-humans created by the barracks.
"What's the situation with these people? Where are they from?" Chen Yu inquired.
"They are bio-humans created by the barracks. Everything about them is the same as normal humans, possessing human intelligence. The only constant is their loyalty to the master. Red Alert soldiers never betray!"
Chen Yu finally relaxed, feeling a surge of confidence with these soldiers. With them, what did he have to fear?
"What are your names?"
"Reporting to the commander, we do not have names."
"Since that's the case, let's use my surname. Starting with you, you're Su One, you're Su Two... and you're Su Nine."
Having quickly given names to the nine soldiers, Chen Yu eagerly approached Su One, looking at the weapons on him. His eyes revealed a longing expression.
Which man wouldn't be interested in firearms?
Unable to touch real firearms before, he was now excited to touch them for the first time.
"So, this is a genuine AK47. It's my first time holding one." Chen Yu sighed with emotion as he touched the firearm he took from Su One.
After a while, he remembered something, "What if you run out of bullets?"
This was a serious issue. Su One replied, "The bullets on us can be replenished through energy exchange. Just a bit of energy can fill our magazines."
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, he quickly realized that he only had 10 energy points left!
Suddenly, a desperate scream echoed from outside.
