In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

"Old Li, I have good news."

Su Ran pushed open the door and entered, speaking very quickly, "Lu Yuan has completed the improvement of the 'biometric device,' and the maximum detection distance can reach 2,500 meters."

The first batch of two hundred units has been produced, and I've already asked him to arrange it. One hundred of them will be paid for by our Awakened Headquarters. Production will continue to increase later.

"Two hundred units?"

Li Guodong's eyes lit up, his fatigue vanishing instantly. "Excellent! A warning distance of 2,500 meters is enough for the frontline troops to react, reducing the casualty rate even further! The logistical pressure on ammunition will also be greatly reduced!"

This thing has an impact on the battle situation no less than an army being given a wallhack.

"It's not just this,"

Su Ran uploaded a report on crystal core weapons to the main screen, saying, "The development of crystal core weapons has also made significant breakthroughs."

He gave a brief explanation of the production capacity and power of a series of new equipment such as "Wolf Fang" and "Thor".

Looking at the terrifying damage data, Li Guodong couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Okay! Okay!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Crystal Core Technology is finally starting to benefit the war effort! With these things, we have more cards to play!"

Su Ran nodded, but her expression remained serious.

He knew this was just the beginning.

"The weapon is a good weapon, but how to use it is a new problem."

Su Ran leaned forward, crossed her hands on the table, and her eyes were like knives.

"Old Li, I want to allocate some of the crystal core-powered exoskeletons to form a new type of unit."

Li Guodong was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"I want to draw the most elite troops from the major war zones to form a true special forces unit."

Su Ran tapped the map on the table, which marked several high-risk areas.

"The equipment gap has emerged, so our tactics must also be upgraded accordingly."

"You want to conduct special operations?"

"That's right."

Su Ran nodded, "All personnel are equipped with the 'Xingtian' exoskeleton and the latest crystal core weapons."

Utilizing our existing air superiority, we can directly airdrop or infiltrate behind the zombie horde, allowing them to guide the outer heavy forces in a saturation fire attack.

"Use this special operations approach to wage an information-based apocalyptic war."

A cold glint flashed in Su Ran's eyes. "In the future, we can also carry out 'decapitation' missions to hunt down high-level mutants!"

A brief silence fell over the command room.

Li Guodong quickly calculated in his mind.

As a veteran commander, he certainly understood the value of special operations.

However, with the outbreak of the apocalypse, special operations lost their operational environment, and special forces would be sent to their deaths if they got caught up in it, so they were forced to switch to large-scale troop pushes.

"Now that we have exoskeletons, individual soldier defense and firepower have made a qualitative leap, and special tactics have indeed been able to be restarted."

Li Guodong muttered to himself.

He stared at the sand table, his mind racing as he considered the feasibility of this tactic.

Small elite units, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, spread out in the center, guiding long-range artillery fire to saturate the area.

"That's a good idea!"

After a moment of contemplation, Li Guo gave an affirmative answer, "However, I can't make the decision on this matter alone."

After all, people need to be drawn from the front lines. You need to go find Zhang Xiao; he's the commander-in-chief of the western front. Get his opinion.

"That's what I think too."

Su Ran didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards another division command room.

General Zhang Xiao's command post at the Kunlun base was shrouded in smoke.

The atmosphere here is much more intense than in the rear command center.

The shouts of messengers, the sound effects of exploding shells, and the orders of staff officers mixed with profanity rose and fell in waves.

"General Zhang." Su Ran knocked on the door.

"Advisor Su?"

Zhang Xiao looked up and saw that it was Su Ran. He immediately greeted her, "Please come in."

"General Zhang, may I speak to you in private?"

Without wasting words, Su Ran revealed his "Crystal Core Special Forces" concept.

When he heard "guided fire coverage" and "decapitation tactics," Zhang Xiao's hawk-like eyes lit up instantly.

"You mean, send a bunch of special forces soldiers wearing crystal exoskeletons directly into the heart of the zombie horde?"

He stroked the stubble on his chin, pondering its feasibility.

"That's right."

Su Ran nodded, "With all personnel equipped with weapons that rely on crystal cores, we can completely ignore concerns about ammunition and logistics."

As long as essential survival supplies are carried, prolonged and sustained combat is entirely possible.

In Su Ran's vision, the Crystal Core Special Forces could completely sustain their operations through combat.

The more battles there are, the more crystal cores are collected, which can sustain a long-term fight.

"The first batch of 'Xingtian' exoskeletons is limited to only one thousand sets. All war zones are eyeing them, and there are far more monks than porridge."

Su Ran spoke up, "In the name of the Awakened Headquarters, I can only secure priority access to two hundred sets. That's my limit."

"Any more, and the other generals will get really angry with me."

"Two hundred sets?"

Zhang Xiao laughed wildly and slapped Su Ran on the shoulder. "That's enough! Two hundred sets are enough for me to form a reinforced battalion!"

He looked at Su Ran with eyes full of admiration and fervor.

"Your idea is like handing a pillow to us frontline commanders!"

He whirled around and yelled at a staff officer, "Go! Contact Lin Feng, the captain of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade!"

Zhang Xiao paced back and forth in the command room, appearing very excited.

"After the apocalypse, our original tactics of infiltrating with small groups and penetrating deep into enemy territory were basically abandoned."

The special forces soldiers' skills had nowhere to go, so they were all transferred to the front line as machine gunners.

With tactical adjustments made, these talents can only be wasted like this.

He placed his hands on the combat sand table and said, "Now is the perfect time to let them go back to their old ways! I will draw key personnel from the original special forces brigades from several elite army groups."

Based on these two hundred exoskeletons, we will form the first pilot unit. If the pilot is successful, it can be used to reshape the special operations order of battle.

Su Ran nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled!"

Soon, an image of a tall, imposing officer appeared on the command screen.

"Reporting to the General! Lin Feng, Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, reporting for duty!"

"Raymond Lam,"

Zhang Xiao pointed at Su Ran, "This is Advisor Su Ran, a special advisor to headquarters."

Su Ran nodded in acknowledgment.

He then pointed at Lin Feng and said to Su Ran, "Lin Feng has over twenty years of special operations experience and is also my most skilled hand."

"From now on,"

Zhang Xiao turned his gaze to Lin Feng again, "All your combat missions are suspended."

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then heard General Zhang Xiao continue speaking.

"Now, you have only one task: to cooperate with Advisor Su to gather 200 soldiers who originally belonged to the special operations force in the shortest possible time and form the Crystal Core Special Forces!"

If they are from other military regions, send me the list and I will request their presence.

"yes!"

Upon hearing that a special forces unit was to be formed, Lin Feng's breathing became rapid.

"General Zhang,"

Su Ran then spoke up at the opportune moment, asking, "This unit needs a new name, right?"

Zhang Xiao looked at Su Ran and grinned, "Let's call it 'Sharp Sword'! The sharp sword for Great Xia's counterattack!"

He stretched out his rough, powerful hand.

Su Ran also reached out and shook his hand firmly.

"The Great Xia Sword Special Forces are established today."
