409: Total Attack 3
Inside the base’s command center, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense. Commander Bai Yan stood before the massive tactical screen, closely watching the changing battle situation displayed on it.
As the command was issued, thousands of rockets, like giant dragons emerging from their launchers, roared and tore through the sky. The rockets’ tail flames streaked across the long sky, and a sea of fire instantly engulfed the entire land, with the zombie horde struggling and howling within the flames. They were buried in the sea of fire along with the mechanical legion at the front.
“Daddy, over there!” Xiao Xiao pointed forward.
Tian Ming followed Xiao Xiao’s finger and saw mechanical wreckage everywhere. Tian Ming closed his eyes, and within a few short minutes, the robot debris within a dozen-kilometer radius reassembled as if time were flowing backward. Soon, they were restored to their original state.
The heavy machine guns on the robots roared, and bullets poured down like a torrential rain. The zombies that had just emerged from underground were met with the barrage, their severed limbs flying in the air, and a mist of blood permeated the entire battlefield.
Inside the command center, Bai Yan’s heart filled with joy when he saw this scene: “What’s going on? Why has my frontline mechanical legion revived?”
Tian Quan immediately projected the drone’s reconnaissance footage onto the large screen, showing Tian Ming with Xiao Xiao, suspended in mid-air, while the robots on the ground were continuously being reassembled and repaired by Tian Ming. As he repaired them, their side’s lost units were rapidly being replenished.
Bai Yan was overjoyed: “Is Mr. Lu at the front? Quick, advance the barrage, extend the artillery fire northward, strike while the iron is hot, and capture the Linshan Defense Line.”
Following Bai Yan’s command, rockets once again came like a storm, and the sea of fire once more engulfed the entire land. The zombies struggled and howled in agony within the flames. At the same time, the repaired mechanical legion, like fierce tigers descending from the mountains, advanced along the extended artillery fire.
The sky was a dark expanse, and a huge arsenal airship appeared high in the sky. Compared to airplanes, airships had a maximum speed of only one hundred kilometers per hour, but their carrying capacity was far greater than that of airplanes.
A large number of shells rained down, suppressing the zombies on the Linshan Defense Line, making it impossible for them to organize an effective counterattack.
In the depths of the underground, the Gold-Eyed Corpse King Nan Nan listened to the commotion above, his face turning extremely grim. The human firepower was so fierce that not only did his subjects not dare to confront it head-on, but even the Corpse King himself probably wouldn't dare to launch a frontal assault. The Linshan Defense Line was likely to fall because of this. Once the defense line fell, they would face more and more mechanical legions advancing northward.
“My Emperor, human firepower is fierce, we are almost unable to hold on. They use robots to fight; as long as their base is fine, we will face an endless stream of mechanical legions.” Nan Nan was reporting the situation at the Linshan Defense Line to Jiang Chen via telepathy.
Jiang Chen, far away in Beidu, felt a flicker of anxiety in his eyes upon hearing the news from the front. The Linshan Defense Line was an important position for defending against humans; if it fell, their forces would face a serious threat.
His subjects had just evolved the ability to fly, and together with the poisonous zombies, they had cleared out the human strongholds embedded in their territory. In response, the humans immediately launched a general offensive on the Linshan Defense Line, a situation no less than a full-scale decisive battle.
“This Emperor will immediately dispatch troops to reinforce you.”
“My Emperor, lift the infinite reproduction ban. If this continues, we will lose.” Nan Nan advised.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment: “If we infinitely reproduce, breaking the agreement, Lu Tianming will definitely participate in the war, and at that time, we still won’t win.”
“He has already joined the battle. He went to the front line and repaired all the damaged mechanical legions. Otherwise, the defense line wouldn’t have collapsed so quickly.”
Jiang Chen’s heart trembled upon hearing this news. With him on the front line, those mechanical legions were almost immortal. No matter how much damage they sustained, as long as he was there, they could quickly recover. Even if this wasn’t considered direct participation, with him stationed at the human base, conquering the base would likely be extremely difficult.
“My Emperor, give the order!” Nan Nan pleaded again. He knew that if Jiang Chen didn’t order the lifting of the infinite reproduction ban, they would have almost no chance of winning this battle.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He knew that this decision might bring some unpredictable consequences, but the current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate.
“Alright, I order the lifting of the infinite reproduction ban. You must immediately organize the zombie horde to counterattack and absolutely hold the Linshan Defense Line.” Jiang Chen’s voice was filled with firmness and decisiveness.
As Jiang Chen’s order was given, the zombie horde within the Linshan Defense Line began to undergo earth-shattering changes. The previously sparse zombie horde began to rapidly increase, their numbers growing at a visible rate. Although these newly added zombies were not as powerful as the evolved zombies, they had the advantage of being numerous and fearless.
Soon, these newly added zombies organized an effective counterattack. They dug tunnels underground and then emerged from unexpected places to launch attacks. Although the human mechanical legion was powerful, when facing such a massive zombie horde, they began to appear somewhat overwhelmed.
Inside the command center, Bai Yan’s face became unusually grim as he watched the changing battle on the screen. He knew this was a signal that the zombie horde was beginning a full-scale counterattack. Moreover, judging by the numbers and offensive of the zombie horde, it was highly likely that Jiang Chen had ordered the lifting of the infinite reproduction ban.
“Everyone, pay attention, the zombie horde has begun a full-scale counterattack. All units must remain vigilant, hold your ground, and absolutely not allow the zombie horde to break through the defense line.” Bai Yan’s voice echoed throughout the command center.
On the front line, Tian Ming also sensed the changes in the zombie horde. He frowned as he watched more and more zombies emerge from underground to launch attacks.
At this moment, Bai Yan’s voice reached his ears through Number Three.
“Mr. Lu, Jiang Chen broke the agreement. A large number of zombies have appeared on the defense line!”
“I see. Since he broke the agreement, I don’t need to hold back either!”
The newly appearing zombies were actually duplicates, pure monsters. As soon as they appeared, they not only impacted the mechanical legion but also showed no mercy to their own kind.
Once the infinite reproduction of zombies was unleashed, even Jiang Chen would find it difficult to control the situation. One became two, two became four, four became eight. The ground began to collapse, large amounts of elements were absorbed by the zombies, transformed, and then split. The duplicate zombie elements and the original zombies had similar body strengths.
A cold light flashed in Tian Ming’s eyes, and the air rapidly ionized. A laser beam swept across the defense line, turning large numbers of zombies directly into dust. The defense line was silent.
“Daddy!” Xiao Xiao looked at Tian Ming and whispered.
“Baby, go to Mommy. Daddy is going to fight the bad guys now.”
The sharp increase in zombie numbers put immense pressure on the defense line. Although the mechanical legion was powerful, it was stretched thin when facing the massive zombie attack.
Xiao Xiao nodded understandingly, and with a flash of light, she disappeared. She directly teleported into the Space Station, and soon, Shen Yuan called.
“Husband, why is Xiao Xiao back?”
“Jiang Chen broke his promise!” Tian Ming said slowly.
