213: Red Alert Legion arrives to provide reinforcements.

Everyone looked up to see over twenty hind attack helicopters, emblazoned with the emblem of the Red Alert Legion, slicing through the skyline like lightning!

Following closely behind were dozens of combat mechs of various shapes, filled with a sense of power; the sound of the airflow from the jet devices on their backs faintly overpowered the clamor of the battlefield!

Even more eye-catching were five uniquely shaped apollo aerospace fighters, exuding a sense of futuristic technology, descending rapidly and vertically from the high sky like silver reapers!

The two tank companies of the First Battalion hadn't even had time to mobilize before the mech formation of the Red Alert Legion, like tigers descending a mountain, had already charged into the Zombie Horde first!

The two lead mechs were particularly conspicuous—they were the thunderbolt piloted by Lei Xin and the blaze piloted by Zhu Yan! These two 6.5-meter-tall Third-Tier Expert mechs were like gods on the battlefield.

Lei Xin's thunderbolt held a giant electric spear wreathed in blinding electric arcs; every throw was like the wrath of the Thunder God, instantly piercing through dozens of zombies, and even easily penetrating the thick fat layers of the thick-skinned Second-Tier Zombie fatties!

The moment the electric spear landed, the exploding ultra-high-voltage electric arcs formed a small thunderstorm zone, blasting the zombies within into charred ashes!

Meanwhile, Zhu Yan's blaze brandished a High-Temperature Cutting Blade several meters long, burning with raging flames; the blade glowed with a scorching red light, and every swing unleashed huge blades of flame light. Wherever it passed, zombies were like butter cut by a hot knife, being decapitated, bisected, and instantly ignited, turning into surging pillars of fire!

"All mechs, free fire! Crush them!" Zhu Yan's voice, filled with fighting spirit, rang out in the mech formation's internal channel.

Following the order, the sixty trailing First-Tier and Second-Tier destroyer, thunderbolt, and blaze units quickly changed formation, displaying astonishing tactical proficiency.

They each took down the heavy weapons mounted on their backs. A row of twenty gun-gray destroyer units began to roar madly, wielding massive M249-Metal Storm-Electromagnetic Kinetic Machine Guns!

The torrent of metal formed by the bullets was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, sweeping across in a fan shape. Wherever it went, whether they were ordinary zombies or First-Tier Zombies, they were instantly torn apart and shredded!

Another row of blaze units, in groups of three, raised their massive Phoenix-Heavy Flamethrowers, spewing hundred-meter-long scorching fire dragons! The flames rolled and spread as if they had a life of their own; a single burst could swallow hundreds of zombies in a sea of fire, and the stench of burning flesh permeated the air.

Twenty thunderbolt units coordinated to release violent high-voltage currents; blue-white electric arcs interlaced in the air to form a massive net of death, covering a large area!

As the electric net swept past, hundreds upon thousands of zombies were like being thrown into a giant electric furnace, bursting and carbonizing amidst violent convulsions!

Witnessing the Red Alert mech formation's crushing slaughter within the Zombie Horde as if they were in an uninhabited land, the originally tense and exhausted soldiers on the 3rd Brigade's defensive line instantly burst into deafening cheers and shouts!

"My God! Which unit is this?! Too strong! Too strong!" A young corporal was so excited his face turned bright red; he even raised his rifle and emptied a magazine into the sky, using this method to vent the shock and excitement in his heart.

"Look at that one with the spear! Oh my god! One spear skewers dozens! Is this guy a god or what?!"

"I like that bright yellow one more! See that? That big flame blade! It's simply the legendary Fire God Zhurong descended to earth!"

Just as the Second Battalion Commander was in doubt, an apollo fighter jet lowered its altitude, the cabin door opened, and a figure rode the wind down, landing lightly. The person carried the rank of Colonel on his shoulders; it was none other than Li Yi.

"Sir!" The Second Battalion Commander immediately recognized that the other party's rank was higher and hurriedly stood to attention to salute.

Li Yi returned the salute cleanly and efficiently, his movements standard and full of power.

"Thank you, Sir, for leading your troops to reinforce us in time! You have resolved an urgent crisis for our unit!" The Second Battalion Commander's tone was sincere, even carrying a trace of excitement, as he bowed deeply to Li Yi.

"No need for such formalities. As soldiers of China, helping and watching over each other is our duty." Li Yi smiled slightly, his tone calm yet carrying an air of a powerhouse, "Let your troops withdraw to rest for a while; leave this battlefield to us for now."

"Many thanks for your kindness, Sir!" The Second Battalion Commander straightened his back, his tone firm, "But our Southern Military Region has no tradition of abandoning our positions when friendly forces take over! We can fight side-by-side with your unit!"

A flash of appreciation passed through Li Yi's eyes, but his tone remained cold and firm: "Good! You have spirit! Then you will rest in place on the defensive line and guard the flanks. Leave these pieces of trash in front to us to deal with!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for the Second Battalion Commander to respond; a powerful airflow instantly surged around his body, and he was enveloped in cyan wind elemental energy, shooting into the battlefield like an arrow released from a bow!

Wherever Li Yi passed, the air emitted sharp whistles, and countless condensed wind blades generated out of thin air, like living spirits, forming a wind vortex around him, strangling all zombies that approached him. Whether they were ordinary zombies or First-Tier or Second-Tier Zombies, they were all instantly cut into pieces! The terrifying strength he displayed shocked all the officers and soldiers of the Southern Military Region!

The Second Battalion Commander watched, dumbfounded, his heart filled with horror: "Third-Tier! Definitely a Third-Tier Expert!"

With Li Yi's joining, the Red Alert Legion's hind fleet also rapidly deployed aerial fire coverage, and the Helios cannon bullets from the apollo fighter jets poured down from high in the sky. This wave of over a hundred thousand elite Zombie Horde, mixed with a large number of Acid Throat, fatties, and other high-tier zombies, stood no chance before the absolute strength of the Red Alert Legion and were quickly and thoroughly slaughtered to the last!

The subsequently arriving Red Alert infantry, tanks, and armored vehicle units quickly took over and consolidated the defensive line.

Brigade Commander Xia also hurried over from the rear command post to personally welcome this powerful reinforcement Commander.

"Colonel Li! Thank you very much for your timely support! The 3rd Heavy Brigade will keep this friendship in our hearts! Please be sure to convey my most sincere gratitude to Commander Jiang Xin on my behalf!" Brigade Commander Xia extended both hands to shake Li Yi's tightly, his tone emotional.

"Brigade Commander Xia, you are too kind." Li Yi returned the grip firmly, his expression solemn, "China is at a critical juncture of survival; you and I are both compatriots and comrades-in-arms, so mutual support is our bounden duty."

"Brigade Commander Xia, let my troops take over the main defensive line next to let your soldiers catch their breath. What do you think?" Li Yi proposed.

"Good! Then many thanks to Colonel Li and the brothers of the Red Alert Legion! Please follow me to the command post; I will brief you in detail on the current enemy situation I have grasped." Brigade Commander Xia readily agreed and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please lead the way, Brigade Commander Xia." Li Yi responded politely.

... Brigade Command Post

"Everyone," Brigade Commander Xia introduced to all the core officers of the 3rd Brigade present, "This is Colonel Li Yi of the Red Alert Legion. He has been ordered to lead his troops to assist us in defending against the Zombie Tide; he is our powerful reinforcement!"

The Deputy Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, Evolver Battalion Commander, battalion Commanders, logistics chief, political commissar, and others present all stood up, casting grateful and admiring gazes at Li Yi, and saluted him.

Li Yi stood to attention and returned a standard military salute to everyone.

Brigade Commander Xia pointed to the electronic sand table, his expression becoming solemn again: "Colonel Li, the current situation is as follows: After continuous interception, over eight hundred thousand of the Zombie Tide have been annihilated. But according to reconnaissance, the next wave, which is also the largest wave of the Zombie Tide detected so far, is expected to arrive in one hour. Its numbers are extremely vast, the Zombie Horde stretches for several kilometers, and it is preliminarily estimated to exceed one million! Moreover, it is mixed with various known high-tier zombies, and there may even be types we have never seen before; the threat is huge and cannot be underestimated."

He paused and added a piece of good news: "Reinforcements from the 2nd Combined Arms Brigade of my military region are expected to arrive in ten-odd minutes, and accompanying them is the number one expert of my Southern Military Region—Miss Nangong Yu!"

(Seeing that my income increased quite a bit yesterday, I realized that some friends sent gifts; Xiao Feng is very happy. Here I want to thank "En En En En Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah La La" for the update request talisman. Thanks to "Pediatrics" for the flowers. Thanks to "Zhatian Gang - Creation God Demon" and "Longteng Xiaoru" for the "Power of Love". Thank you all very much for your support. Xiao Feng will definitely maintain at least one update per day in his spare time; this book will absolutely not be abandoned, please rest assured.)

Li Yi listened carefully, nodded, and said: "Brigade Commander Xia, the order my unit received is to assist your army in defense. The specific battle planning and troop deployment will still be led by your unit; my unit will not interfere. Our advantage lies in high-end combat power and precision strikes. Our apollo aerospace fighters have extremely strong detection and killing capabilities against high-tier Corpse Kings, especially the potentially existing command-type Corpse Kings. Our army will do our utmost, utilizing our aerial advantage, to find and eliminate that Corpse King behind the scenes and other zombies above Tier 3, fundamentally dismantling the threat of the Zombie Tide!"

Hearing this, Brigade Commander Xia felt greatly reassured and tightly grasped Li Yi's hand: "That's great! With these words from Colonel Li, I can rest easy! If the decapitation strike is successful, this battle will definitely be won! On behalf of all the soldiers of the brigade, I thank your unit once again for your all-out support!"
