Chapter 46: The Critical 30 Minutes!

The people saw Paul piloting his mecha and climbing the city wall.

They let out surprised expressions and began to discuss among themselves.

“That’s Paul. Why is he controlling his mecha to climb up the city wall?”

“Could it be that he wants to operate his mecha and fight the mutated creatures himself?”

“Oh my god! Even Paul is operating his mecha to fight the mutant creatures. Are there no Mecha Warriors left?”

“Look, there are many Genetic Warriors behind Paul…”

“It’s the Genetic Warriors again. There are usually so many Mecha Warriors, but why don’t I see any of them?”

However, Paul couldn’t hear the people talking.

As a member of the Federation and the son of the President, he had to be used as an example to stabilize the morale of the Mecha Warriors.

This was because the Federation knew very well that they had made a fatal mistake.

They did not listen to Peter’s warning and missed the best opportunity to defend themselves.

If the Federation had made timely adjustments back then and recalled all the mecha armies they had sent out, this would not have happened.

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

As the battle progressed, the upper echelons of the Federation knew that it would be difficult for the base city to hold on.

It was impossible to retreat now. as the city walls were surrounded by mutated creatures.

They couldn’t even escape from the air as those ferocious birds kept circling in the nearby airspace.

At this time, riding an aircraft out was equivalent to committing suicide.

At this moment, in the Federal combat command room.

The Commander of the mecha army was present.

He was General David.

He was quickly flipping through the reports that had been sent over.

Meanwhile, the data analysts beside him were calculating various values.

“General David, we still have 1,035 mechas left, but there are less than 800 people who can operate the mechas.”

“General David, there are at least 235 unmanned mechas.”

“General David, there are gaps in the defenses of the Mecha Warriors on the city walls. We need to send Mecha Warriors to replace them immediately.”

“I got it!”

The scowl on General David’s face deepened.

He felt like his head was about to explode.

The Federation could only mobilize more than 1,000 mechas now.

However, there were more than 200 mechas that were not operated by Mecha Warriors.

As the highest Commander of the mecha army, how could he not know?

No matter how powerful a mecha was, it still required someone to operate it.

However, the number of casualties among the Mecha Warriors defending the city wall was too high.

Most of them were injured by the ferocious birds that appeared in the sky.

The anti-aircraft weapons erected on the city walls were simply insufficient against so many ferocious birds.

As a result, many Mecha Warriors died.

They couldn’t let ordinary people operate mechas, right?

It was almost like sending targets to the mutated creatures.

After experiencing several battles with groups of beasts, he had the ability to command troops.

Just as the beasts started attacking the base city, the communication signal was cut.

However, General David had predicted this and sent out a mecha team.

Their goal was to find the mecha army that was fighting in the wilderness.

He then glanced at the time.

If everything went well, the mecha team that had been sent out should have already found the main army.

According to the timeline, as long as the base city could last for more than 30 minutes, the crisis in the base city would be resolved when the mecha army returned.

This was the best outcome.

However, General David had to command the remaining Mecha Warriors to hold out for at least half an hour.

As for whether the mecha army in the wilderness would be able to return in half an hour, he could only leave it up to fate.

Then, General David quickly issued several orders.

Firstly, besides the Federal combat unit, all the officers serving in the military would participate in the battle.

Secondly, he would prioritize selecting people who could operate mechas from among the officers to make up for the lack of Mecha Warriors.

Thirdly, he would choose the adult males from among the ordinary people and distribute weapons for them to participate in the battle with.

Fourthly, he would organize the adult women to create explosives.

Lastly, General David would make preparations for the final moment.

If the mecha army could not rush back to provide reinforcements after 30 minutes, the city walls of the base city would be broken by the mutated creatures.

At that time, the mutated creatures would enter the base city.

Thus, the people could only use the buildings to continue resisting. The explosives would also be useful then.

There was also another order that General David did not issue.

This was a secret plan.

He selected reliable personnel to prepare to gather children below the age of 12 in the base city and send them to the underground fortifications.

This was to preserve the final spark of mankind.

General David wondered how the other base cities outside New York Base City were doing.

The scale of this siege by the mutated creatures was huge.

This was far beyond the Federation’s imagination.

Without reinforcements, there was no way to escape.

At this moment, the people showed signs of despair.

This kind of emotion spread very quickly.

However, the mutated creatures that crawled out of the underground tunnel started to attack them.

Their panic turned into fear.

At this moment, a team composed entirely of Genetic Warriors rushed over to fight the mutant creatures.

Their appearance temporarily stopped the mutated creatures from attacking the people.

The survivors realized that the person leading this Genetic Warrior team was actually a woman.

If Peter were here, he would have recognized her at first glance.

It was Callie.
