Chapter 230: Chapters 224, 225 Battle in the Sea!_3

"We need to act fast! There’s no resistance on the island, we’ll have to rely on ourselves!" He Hongwei said.

"Here, we can deploy the power of six carrier fleets!" Luo An said, "However, after the war starts, at least three of these fleets must support the island’s coastal defense!"

"So we only have three carrier fleets to ensure combat operations in this sea area."

"In terms of military strength, we’re at a disadvantage because the estimated Zerg numbers here exceed fifty million!"

He Xingzhou said, "The main issue is with the advanced Zerg. The lower-level ones don’t have the strength to obstruct fleet passage. The number of Deep Sea Mecha and Deep Sea Battleships we’ve produced this time is limited, so we can’t engage in large-scale operations yet. *I plan to transform them into elite assault squads specialized in targeting advanced Zerg!*"

"That’s perfect!" Qin Peng said. "If we can hold back the advanced Zerg, our chances of winning double!"

...

One day later, on the island.

Early that morning, people sensed an unusual atmosphere.

The number of mutant birds circling in the sky increased, and in some places, you could see them creating a canopy that blocked out the sun as they moved!

In the coastal towns, people had long evacuated. Many hid in not-so-safe shelters, monitoring the shore’s situation.

By this point, TV broadcasts had stopped completely, but they could still watch local battlefield news through smart devices.

The news offered the most comprehensive real-time updates.

In an underground parking garage of a shopping mall, which couldn’t truly be called a shelter, as security gaps were everywhere, a lot of homeless people crammed inside.

At that moment, someone was broadcasting battlefield news on a large screen.

"Beep beep beep beep..." The alarm sounded, and the broadcast echoed on the news and from aircraft loudspeakers, "Residents, we’ve detected that the Zerg are attempting to land! Please find a safe place to hide, we will intercept the Zerg!"

Upon hearing this, everyone grew tense. The Zerg were attacking!

The only thing that gave them solace at the moment was that at least someone was protecting this island.

From all directions, the Zerg swarms were advancing closer.

Seeing the entire ocean turning black, with countless terrifying mutant creatures surging on the underwater detection screen, people’s hearts quivered!

"They’re going to land!"

"We’re doomed, who will save us?"

"There are too many, too many, how can humans possibly stop them?"

"This place is about to become hell on Earth!"

Some people were even trembling violently, crying in pain, or shivering in place, as despair spread before everyone.

At Brother Pickle’s home, his family had shut the doors and windows tight, watching the news footage.

"The apocalypse has arrived!"

"Can we survive?" They had already lost their confidence.

At Lin Huaixin’s home, the nonagenarian was also watching this scene, his mood unbearably heavy.

Meanwhile, his descendants followed his instructions to organize evacuation for the locals.

"*We must hold the line!*" he murmured internally.

The local populace also kept an eye on events, but their mindset had become much calmer.

When the news initially broadcasted images of the Zerg, there were protesters and opposers, saying it would frighten people.

But later, everyone realized that not doing so made the terror even stronger when people truly faced the Zerg! Some even froze in helplessness, losing the ability to resist!

As the live broadcasts became more frequent, everyone got used to it.

Now, even children weren’t overly terrified upon seeing the Zerg on the screen, and people’s psychological defenses had generally strengthened. They now had the courage to resist when facing the Zerg!

"This is our land, wipe out the bugs!"

"Fight, fight, fight! Even without an iron wall, we can still hold out!"

"I wish I could charge into the sea!"

"The Vermilion Bird Unit has moved out!"

People saw fighter jets already over the island, bombing the Zerg swarms approaching the coast.

Meanwhile, the carrier fleets also launched various missiles into the sea to bombard the swarms.

The barrage covered one side and spread to the other, on the coastline, countless Zerg were blown to pieces!

Soon after, a large group of airborne Mecha appeared in the sky.

Not only the Red Dragon, but also larger models like the Red Dragon, along with other types of Mech groups, including the aerial combat Mecha, Blue Wing; ground defense Mecha, Black Tiger; and small agile Mecha, Green Snake, among others.

The Mecha equipment had developed into multiple types over this period.

Even without an iron wall here, the Mecha units could form one!

Upon landing, they unleashed advanced weaponry like electromagnetic guns and laser weapons, forcefully halting the Zerg attempting to land at the coastline!

In the sky, fighter jets and flying Mecha battled mutant birds for control of the airspace—battle scenes were everywhere!

Seeing this scene, the island’s populace was left speechless in awe!

"Is this the Xuanwu Army? It’s a hundred times stronger than I imagined!"

"Their technology is so far ahead of us. I was deceived by the media before! Compared to them, we’re like country bumpkins!"

"The Mecha units are so cool, the Zerg can’t even get close!"

"If I had known, I would’ve moved here ten years ago!"

"There’s still hope for us!" They rekindled hope.

"The Xuanwu Army! It’s this powerful!" Lin Huaixin saw this scene, tears of excitement welling up in his eyes, his hand gripping the cane trembling. His homeland now possessed such formidable strength—a scene that had appeared in his dreams for many years. Today, he finally witnessed it!

"Report to command, the Mecha units have basically controlled the coastline. We won’t let the Zerg land in the next three hours!" Commander Lei Yuanfeng reported.

"Good, fleets move in immediately!" Qin Peng ordered.
