Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Grate Fortress.

Lin Yi and the tribe leader returned to the testing site.

Once the site was cleared, he waved his hand and the pile of scrap metal appeared there.

This prompted exclamations and cries of distress from all the engineers present.

He quickly explained what had happened.

The engineers considered the situation and within a few minutes provided an explanation.

Tilim, a metal native to this planet, is a material with unique properties.

It is extremely lightweight, several times lighter than steel.

There is a theory that Tilim is magnetic.

Due to the magnetic waves generated by the planet's core, Tilim is continuously pushed away from the ground, which is why it appears so light.

However, all of this is still just theoretical.

So far, no one has been able to prove or disprove it...

But now it seems that this metal is not suitable on Earth, or in the shelter.

"Can you replace this metal?"

"We can, but it will be extremely tricky. Basically, we'll have to redo everything, and I'll need to have most engineers involved."

The tribe leader did not hide his disappointment, as the deal was significant.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and had an idea.

"How about this, you bring me a few first-level mechas for testing. Also, can you improve the power armor we've made?"

As Lin Yi spoke, he waved his hand.

A set of "Slaughterer Type 2" power armor materialized.

As soon as the armor appeared, a group of engineers surrounded it, including the tribe leader.

"The design is interesting... it's steam-powered, right? Fascinating..."

The tribe leader commented as he inspected.

"In some ways, it's quite exquisite... low manufacturing cost, provides decent protection, and can enhance strength... Lin Yi, may I try it on?"

"Feel free to try."

"Fantastic!"

The tribe leader climbed into the "Slaughterer" power armor, immediately familiarized himself with the controls, and then activated it.

The "Slaughterer Type 2"'s engine emitted a slight rumbling sound and a puff of steam.

The tribe leader started running, jumping a few times, picking up heavy objects, and even sparred with a fully armed guard.

This was the most modern technology, confronting the most primitive equipment... yet even so, the tribe leader's eyes were shining with excitement.

After five minutes, the tribe leader exited the power armor.

"Does it use the same biofuel?"

"Yes."

"The heat it generates is astonishing, to prevent the metal from melting, it releases the heat in small batches.

If we replace the current materials with more heat-resistant ones, and..."

The tribe leader began to speak enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, other engineers also decided to try out this new gadget.

About an hour later, Lin Yi finally got away, promising to return the next day.

He pledged to provide fuel to the Tilian people as they design a new mecha and upgrade the power armor.

Upon returning to the shelter.

Lin Yi headed straight to the laptop.

He hadn't checked it for a long time...

"Overall, not bad."

But upgrading the dome costs 5 million, and buying a harpoon costs 1 million... can't spend all the money just yet.

"Alright, time to get to work..."

The military is already prepared for battle, waiting for the boss to give the order to make a big move on Earth.

They plan to launch a massive operation against the red zombies, with Hubert and Solomon already mobilizing most combat-capable soldiers.

But civilian volunteers, Faru, and the Child of the Sun are not very effective in combat, so they stay back at the shelter.

In the last battle, Lin Yi learned that red zombies are easily provoked.

So, military headquarters devised a defensive plan.

He would set up four walls to form a rectangle, and then build another rectangle inside.

Once the first wall is breached, the army would retreat behind the next wall.

If the enemy broke through the last wall, he would send everyone back to the shelter, ending the battle.

This is a risky plan, but in any of their previous battles, no mutated form of first level or above or red zombies had been encountered.

The army was transported to the town, where some red zombies had already gathered.

With cameras in place, they already knew the zombies' positions, so they immediately wiped them out.

While clearing the town and surrounding areas, engineers began setting up defensive fortifications in some large fields not far from Lille.

These guys are already veterans in wall construction, and with the help of the beastmen, the four walls were completed in less than an hour.

As per Lin Yi's command, towers for archers and mages have been set up in the smallest rectangular area.

Counting just humans and Hilania people, the regular army in the shelter consists of 121 mages and 152 archers.

396 infantry soldiers and 680 heavy infantry, including 464 beastman soldiers and 217 shapeshifter professionals.

The shelter has 562 sets of power armor, enough to equip all the shapeshifters and infantry without combat skills.

He also placed several rows of anti-tank hedgehogs in front of the walls, things that have worked well on Wandering Island, and he feels can be used here too.

The troops are deployed on the walls.

Lin Yi summoned those happy dragons!

Da Chuan looked pale, while Dragon Maiden Mira was in good spirits.

He equipped Mira with third-level heavy armor.

When she donned the power armor and transformed into a dragon, her scales and bones became extremely tough, and her claws sharper.

The giant dragon roared mightily, anticipating the upcoming bloody battle.

Lin Yi gave an order, and the two dragons took off, flying toward the zombie hordes outside the Lille walls.

Mira charged into the enemy like a meteor.

She let out a bloodthirsty roar and crushed four red zombies in one bite.

Her feet, tail, head, and even at times her teeth, were crushing and tearing countless enemies.

Da Chuan flew above her, covering his girlfriend with flames.

The red zombies were incredibly agile, desperately trying to climb onto the body of the green giant dragon.

But even when they succeeded, Mira would fling them off again.

This battle quickly drew the attention of all the red zombies within half a kilometer.

Mira clearly got carried away, completely forgetting the plan and self-protection...

Da Chuan desperately used his flames to assault the enemies, but his magic value was almost depleted...

Forced into a corner, he made a bold decision, diving straight towards his girlfriend.

He roared at her fiercely.

She responded with an even angrier roar.

Da Chuan did not flinch this time, wishing for the boss's punishment to be more severe, and continued to roar even louder.

Finally, Mira regained her sanity, and after shattering a few more red zombies, she flapped her wings and followed Da Chuan as they flew away.

They flew low, so all the red zombies could follow them.

The two dragons flew to the middle of the fortifications.

Da Chuan immediately reverted to human form, crawling out of the power armor.

Mira, on the other hand, began to burp and then... vomited out some limb remnants and eggs.

Those eggs were enormous, mostly white, but there were also a few green ones.

Then the green dragon transformed into human form and crawled out from the power armor as well.

Da Chuan looked at those eggs: "Mira... are these the reward for the Dragon Race killing zombies?"

"Yes!" Mira replied with a happy smile.

Da Chuan was elated, quickly calling the boss.

Lin Yi merely glanced at them and reprimanded them for being inconsiderate, then transported them to the shelter so they could recover their physical strength at the recovery center.

The red zombies following the dragons crashed heavily against the steel walls like waves hitting a rocky shore.

Unlike the regular zombies led by advanced mutants, these red zombies are clueless about building "living ladders."

Initially, they tried to break through the walls by striking the thick steel walls with their fists, to no avail.

A few particularly clever zombies attempted to lift a section of the wall, but each wall panel was firmly fixed in place and connected to other panels.

A red zombie lifted one wall panel and tried to lift two adjacent ones, but those two were connected to the panels beside them, and so on.

Needless to say, if these red zombies had the intelligence akin to generals to lead them, they might have easily lifted and destroyed the wall.

But such intelligence does not exist!

If it did, humanity would be on the brink of extinction...

After all, compared to normal zombies, red zombies are far more powerful.

However, who can guarantee that, for example, next week, a red zombie general won't suddenly appear?

According to old America, the red zombies have already wiped out all zombies and survivors within France...

Only those who are hunkered down in large fortresses like Lille have survived.

Lin Yi doesn't know much about other cities like Lille Camp, but according to the old Americans, there are two other similar cities in the south, each with its own "king."

And they're apparently reaching peace agreements to counter the threat of the red zombies.

The war continues.

As soon as the red zombies appeared, they were bombarded with a fierce onslaught of skills.

The mages did not worry about conserving their magic value.

On the contrary, they tried to use up their magic value quickly so they could go to the recovery center, where extraterrestrial beauties eager for men awaited them.

Before heading to Tilian Planet, Lin Yi had all the slaves sign his contract.

He granted them freedom but required them to work.

But only a few of those alien women decided to switch professions.

They dreamed of experiencing new things, seeing the world, and meeting various male beings.

Those elven women ended up being... well, they were essentially the laziest.

They neither wanted to work nor fight, yet were willing to indulge themselves all day.

Only two out of fifty elves decided to change jobs.

But they completely ruined discipline in the army on the first day.

Because their desires were still so rampant...
