Chapter 215: Chapters 210 and 211: Debut of the Mecha Troops! (Double Monthly Ticket Extra)_2

At this moment, some soldiers were already feeling envious, and someone quietly said to Huang Sheng, “I didn’t expect what you said to be true!”

“There really are Mechas!”

“Do you know the Commander?”

“Gaming buddies, we’ve teamed up before!” Huang Sheng said proudly.

“Impressive! Take me along next time!”

“Me too, brother, let’s team up!”

Everyone was curious and envious, making the three of them extremely proud. *If other comrades found out about this, they’d definitely be insanely envious too!*

He Xingzhou called out to Lu Mi, saying, “Lu Mi, bring over the other Mechas.”

“Master, Lu Mi received!” Lu Mi’s image saluted He Xingzhou, and then thirty-one Mechas flew over from a distance.

He Xingzhou introduced, “This type of Mecha is called the Chi Yan, and it’s the first generation of Mechanical Power Armor we’ve developed!”

“It possesses the most advanced AI mode, which you can quickly operate and master.”

“Each of you will have one. You must familiarize yourself with all its functions as quickly as possible, ensuring that you can smoothly operate it manually if the AI system cannot be used.”

He emphasized, “This is extremely important. There are special Zergs capable of electromagnetic interference, even strong currents that can disrupt AI systems. In such situations, you’ll have to rely on yourselves for Mecha operation!”

He Xingzhou was also designing unmanned Mechas, but for now, Mechas still had to be operated by humans, or else a wave of super electromagnetic interference could render all unmanned Mechas scrap.

In the future, once electromagnetic interference technology and robot technology have upgraded, unmanned Mechas will be widely deployed.

Additionally, manned Mechas will also receive upgrades, such as Mechas controlled by human brain AI, among others.

When the thirty-one Mechas arrived in front of them, everyone eagerly began binding and operating them.

“This is much cooler than operating in games!” Huang Sheng shouted, “I just want to rush into Catastrophe Island right now and have a full-on battle with those bugs!”

“There really are Laser Weapons; if we coordinate well, we can hunt high-class Zergs!” Deng Jian was eager to test the Laser Weapons immediately, but at this time on the training ground, the Laser Weapons remained inactive.

“This feeling is so cool, I really want to activate flight mode and try it out!” Xiong Manni was already familiar with controlling Mecha movements; the Mecha’s operation mode was identical to the one in the game.

Even Commander Qiu Hong was enthusiastically experiencing the features of the Mechas.

He Xingzhou said to him, “Commander Qiu, I’ll leave the rest to you. By the fifth, everyone must be familiar with the Mechas!”

“Yes!” Qiu Hong said loudly, “I assure you we’ll complete the mission!”

…

The time arrived on the fifth.

The Blue Star Alliance’s joint action was taking place today!

On this day, the entire nation, even the whole world, was watching this operation.

The world was already shattered by the Zerg invasion, countless people were displaced, weaker nations crumbled, and thriving modern coastal cities turned into ruins!

Whether success can be achieved at the land-based insect nest will determine the key to humanity’s subsequent fight against the Zerg.

Near Catastrophe Island, five fleets had arrived in total: the Divine Dragon, Bai ying, Russia, UK, and France fleets, while other locations’ Commanders had no strength to dispatch fleets.

Because at that time, they were all busy resisting the Zerg invasions on their own soil.

On the French fleet, Commander Franlo was instructing the elite squad, “Remember, the mission plan can change at any time! You must try your best to capture high-level land-based Zerg samples! At least you can’t have fewer than other teams!”

“Yes!”

Commander Gerard from the UK was also reminding his team, “Our strength is weaker than that of Bai ying, after landing, try to follow them, it’s safer that way.”

Russia’s Commander Igor Yoke shouted at his team, “You have only one chance; once the Zerg pours out, not even the fleet can cover you!”

Bai ying’s Commander Harvey instructed the Marine Corps, “You are the most elite combat squad, equipped with our most advanced gear. We’ll have fighter jets covering you from the air. Remember, for this mission, you must do your absolute best!”

Although they were all part of the Blue Star Alliance, they were also comparing themselves to each other.

Now that Blue Star was already like this, whoever was stronger had the chance to become the leader of the Alliance!

On the Divine Dragon fleet, He Xingzhou was observing the surroundings; this operation was under his command.

He sighed, “Even after being attacked by the Zerg, Bai ying and Russia still have quite a few ships!”

Luo An said, “Now the whole world is producing weapons, their factories are running at full capacity, and in a little over a year, the number of ships has more than tripled!”

“In the last century, when Bai ying was fully mobilized, they could produce an Aircraft Carrier in an average of seventy days. Even though those were relatively basic carriers, it illustrates their manufacturing capabilities. Now that technology and manufacturing are even more advanced, they’re making more sophisticated ships even faster!”

Shen Zhou had also been rushing production during this time, although their focus was still on land, the Steel Great Wall was nearing completion.

Various weaponry and equipment such as Electromagnetic Guns, mechanical exoskeletons, and the current Mechas were being manufactured in large quantities.

As for ships, the numbers have doubled, though they still lacked heavyweight nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers, so their sea power was much less than their land power.

Drones were taking footage over Catastrophe Island, and small reconnaissance robots were being deployed.

Through the footage captured by them, Commanders and citizens of various nations could clearly see the situation on Catastrophe Island.

Catastrophe Island was a live volcano! At its peak, dense smoke was still billowing out.

But around the island were lush plants.

When drones approached, swarms of mutant birds flew out from the jungle, destroying the drones!

The reconnaissance robots landed on the ground, conducting filming.

In the jungle, various Zergs could be seen; for instance, the main force attacking the human cities, all kinds of beetles, mutant lizards, towering pythons, and even creatures resembling dinosaurs.

Even the plants were mutating, with a small reconnaissance robot getting preyed upon by carnivorous plants; it was ensnared, smashed, and then consumed by the branches.

Seeing these images, the audience was on edge.

“This is simply Hell Island; who could go in and come out alive?”

“There’s not a single normal creature on the island, even the plants can eat people!”

“If these monsters were around us, I can’t imagine what would happen!”

“And this is just the exterior; who knows what’s inside the volcano!”

…

The reconnaissance of the perimeter, a task that all teams had completed months ago, already had their corresponding routes planned.

“Everyone, the operation begins!” He Xingzhou finished saying, and five special ops teams started their actions simultaneously!

From the locations of the Bai ying, Russia, UK, and French fleets, surface speedboats and armed helicopters took off at once.

Special forces operatives rode these vehicles, swiftly approaching Catastrophe Island.

Combat team members aboard speedboats even took up weapons to attack the Zerg on the beach; in the sky, under fighter jet cover, operatives urgently parachuted to the small island.

“Quick, quick, quick! Before the Zergs assemble, we need to swiftly collect samples!” These team members tossed Zerg corpses to the shores, which were also covered by and loaded by team members.

“Why hasn’t the Divine Dragon moved yet?” Several Commanders noticed there was no movement from He Xingzhou’s side.

“What are they waiting for?”

The audience was also anxious, “They’ve all moved; if they don’t go soon, it’ll be difficult to execute the mission once the Zergs gather!”

At this moment, a team of small transport ships set out from the fleet, quickly arriving beside Catastrophe Island.

When the team members from the transport ships disembarked, several Commanders, as well as the spectating citizens, immediately exclaimed, “What the heck!”

“Oh my God, are you kidding me?”

“Our equipment has evolved to this stage?”

“Is this a special operations team? That’s freaking awesome!”

“Are those Mechas? Do they already have a Mecha team?” Commander Harvey and others couldn’t believe their eyes as they viewed the satellite images, revealing a well-organized Mecha unit!

These Mechas were over five meters tall, impressively imposing with their red-brown coloring, which closely resembled the volcanic rock of the island, and each Mecha was marked with numerical identifiers.

Who would have thought that the Divine Dragon sent a Mecha team to execute the mission!

In comparison, the recently beach-landing Marine Corps and the air-dropped special ops operatives looked like antiques from the last century in front of the Mecha team.

“No wonder they waited months; they must have been developing Mechas!” Several Commanders instantly realized, “The technological advancements are too fast, we’re still catching up on mechanical exoskeletons, and they’ve already upgraded to Mechas!”
