Chapter 138: Avoid the Red Zone
Chapter 138 - Avoid the Red ZoneLillian walked into the burning wreckage, her movements precise and deliberate. After a moment, she stepped back out, her voice unchanging as she confirmed the kill. She didn't waste words. Actions were her language. High above the battlefield, Zack listened to Lillian's report. His expression was grim as he turned his gaze toward the distant black tide. Ego's voice echoed in his ears. "Sir, all mechanical beasts have been deployed. The aircraft are returning."
From their vantage point tens of thousands of meters in the sky, Zack and Ego had been observing the battlefield. While Scott and his forces only saw the dense wave of zombies in front of them, Zack knew the grim reality. "This isn't even one percent of the horde," Zack muttered.
The Avalon wasn't just a transport vehicle—it was a multi-functional war machine. After deploying the first wave of mechanical beasts, the jets immediately returned to NYC City to reload. They were bringing aerial bombs, fuel-air explosives, and additional ammunition supplies for the mechanical beasts, ready to rejoin the battle. "Send out Mk-2 and MK-3 manufacturing drones to

Flying low over the battlefield, he skimmed past the walls of Washington. Trailing behind him, Ava in her second-generation Avalon completed her strafing run and turned back to join him. "Deploy the unmanned armor units," Zack ordered.
A few kilometers away, five unmanned power armors hovering in the air accelerated, each breaking the sound barrier as they closed in on the battlefield. Before the Avalon returned to base, these unmanned units were the only aerial reinforcements available. "Ava, lead the unmanned armor units and cut off the tide," Zack instructed.
