The Last Commander of the Red Alert
Chapter 3)

Libra remembered very clearly that the research in this laboratory was supposed to transform chimpanzees into the Ghost Clan. What in the world did humans have to do with it?

If the Ghost Clan ceased to exist, would the future of Yan Yun Star be drastically different? Would there be alterations in the course of events?

Although she didn't possess research capabilities like Yun Ru, she had some understanding of time. Once the past underwent changes, the future would witness significant shifts.

Even though the timeline could be consolidated and adjusted at critical moments in time, the Ghost Clan had never appeared. How on earth could they rectify this?

To keep the future unchanged, the Ghost Clan had to come into existence!

With this in mind, Libra returned inside once more. Her reappearance left everyone staring at her in astonishment, unsure of what to say.

In the brief time they had been in contact with the outside world earlier, they had learned the general situation. In short, this woman had already defeated the guardian of the laboratory, and no one could stop her.

Since they couldn't stop her, why not comply willingly? As long as she didn't seek the most confidential matters of the Qiluo Civilization, they could cooperate.

"Your research is flawed," Libra stated.

Her words left them all dumbfounded, and it was the Director, Old Man, who spoke up, "Excuse me, but do you know what we are researching?"

"Of course, I do. Your research is about creating an intelligent race on this planet, am I wrong?"

The expression on Director Old Man's face changed. Indeed, that was the research they were currently engaged in. The research had just yielded results, and this woman had appeared. Could it be that other human factions were sending her to seize their research findings?

He couldn't possibly know that this was all an accident.

"Why do you know about this, Your Excellency? We haven't reported this research project yet."

Typically, research projects were only reported to Mother Star once they yielded results. At that time, there would be many rewards, which served as motivation for countless research institutes.

A stranger had suddenly appeared, broken into the laboratory, and revealed the nature of their research. It was no wonder Director was so shocked.

Libra remained silent, her figure approaching the newly transformed human who had just been a chimpanzee. After observing for a moment, she calmly stated, "This person has no intelligence."

"What?"

They had been so stunned by Libra's arrival that they had forgotten to test the recently transformed chimpanzee-human. If there was no intelligence, then it was nothing more than a creature with human form, far from being a true human!

They conducted a series of simple tests, and as Libra had said, there was no complete intelligence. It still possessed the intelligence of a chimpanzee, which couldn't be considered a genuine race.

Their goal was to create a race no less intelligent than humans!

Initially, Libra had some concerns. If this chimpanzee had truly acquired complete intelligence, it would have been troublesome. Fortunately, the results were satisfactory.

This research had essentially failed, so they would now have to address the issue of Libra's involvement.

At this moment, Libra proposed to participate in the research. Initially, no one agreed, but given Libra's formidable power and extensive knowledge, they had no choice.

It's worth noting that Libra had once served in the combat research department for some time, and she was quite knowledgeable about the affairs of Yan Yun Star, especially the research on the Ghost Clan, which Yuan Yizhong had personally mentioned.

Initially, the primary reason the Ghost Clan could be researched was Yuan Yizhong's talent. He was like a natural-born researcher; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become the deputy director at such a young age.

"To create an intelligent race, I believe your direction has gone awry. You've always hoped for an intelligent race similar to humans, but the birth of humans was not as simple as it seems..." Libra spoke confidently to the assembled individuals.

Many researchers, upon hearing Libra's words, felt as if they had opened the gates to a new world, displaying expressions of eager thirst for knowledge.

At this moment, the benefit of Libra refraining from killing anyone previously became apparent. Because she hadn't taken any lives, she didn't harbor any irreparable conflicts with the laboratory. This allowed her to join the research team.

With Libra's assistance, their research progressed at an increasingly rapid pace, gradually yielding results.

However, what puzzled them was that although it was clearly one person, sometimes it felt like there were two.

It wasn't just one person who had this feeling, and after some private discussions, they concluded that Libra was likely suffering from a split personality disorder. Such individuals couldn't handle stress, and if she were to have an outburst, they would all be in trouble.

The guardian of the laboratory hardly ever appeared after that day. He couldn't defeat Libra, so what was the point of coming out?

The one who interacted with Libra the most was Mo Yuxin, the one who had initially faced discrimination from many people, as they believed she had brought disaster by bringing Libra here. However, as Libra gradually revealed her research abilities, some began to admire her and no longer held any ill feelings towards Mo Yuxin.

In just under a month, Libra became the top researcher in the laboratory. Although she lacked a formal identity, her research abilities were acknowledged by everyone.

"This is the 56th experiment. Commence the test."

A group of people stood in the laboratory, watching the chimpanzee in the center. However, this time there was an additional person: Libra.

Libra was dressed in a white lab coat, radiating confidence. This time, she was certain they would create the first Ghost Clan, who would become her future comrade, Taru.

To ensure the future remained unchanged, she couldn't alter her attitude towards Taru, meaning Taru would still be a tool until they discovered her in the future.

Gradually, the appearance of the chimpanzee began to change. This time, it was just as Libra had envisioned, and the progenitor of the Ghost Clan was born!

When he opened his eyes and looked around with a bewildered expression, Yuan Yizhong and the others knew they had succeeded halfway!

The next step was to test his intelligence, and after testing, it was confirmed that the intelligence of this brand-new race was no less than that of ordinary humans!

This prompted everyone to cheer. The name of this new race would be chosen by Libra, as she had contributed the most to this research.

"Let's call this race the Ghost Clan from now on."

The appearance of the Ghost Clan excited the people in the laboratory, and they began to refine their research, eagerly awaiting the moment when everything would be compiled and reported to Mother Star.

Creating an entirely new universe race was no small feat.

Libra watched the scene before her, and for the first time, a hint of a smile appeared on her face. Unfortunately, it disappeared in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.

She knew that she had seized this opportunity to successfully establish a connection with the Qiluo Civilization. In the future, she would have to demonstrate more of her abilities and use the power of the Qiluo Civilization to help her find the small beast.
