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

As time went by.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The loudspeakers in the underground base were almost constantly broadcasting.

"Urgent telegram from the Eastern Theater Command: The main urban area of ​​Shanghai has been cleared!"

"Urgent telegram from the Southern Theater Command: Defense lines established along the Guangzhou-Chengdu border!"

"Northwest Theater Command reports: Yumen Pass has been recaptured!"

Each time the announcement was broadcast, a wave of noise swept through the dungeon.

A-32 living quarters.

Wang Tiejun sat on his bunk, wiping his newly issued Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with a rough cloth.

The announcement came over the loudspeaker.

He stopped what he was doing and looked up at the loudspeaker.

"dad."

Wang Longyu, the son, came over carrying two boxes of synthetic protein cream. "The radio said that Harbin has been captured. Our hometown has been recovered."

Wang Tiejun took the lunchbox without saying a word.

He pulled the bolt, and it clicked crisply.

"Eat. After you finish eating, sign up to go to the surface."

Wang Tiejun picked up his lunchbox and gulped down the unappetizing mushy food.

"Now that the fighting is over, it's time for us to go up and build the city."

The surrounding crowd was no longer lifeless.

The men gathered together, discussing the blueprints for the air defense positions with great enthusiasm.

The women lined up at the logistics department to receive their rations, their faces beaming with smiles they hadn't seen in a long time.

Even the children in the corner had their eyes light up again.

Fear was crushed, replaced by fanatical confidence.

Our gaze returned to the ground.

The southern route is ten kilometers outside Friendship Pass.

The 155mm howitzer position had just stopped firing.

The cannon barrel emitted an astonishingly high heat.

The tracks of the First Armored Division of the Great Xia relentlessly crushed the scattered bones and rotting flesh.

Ahead lay a dense forest, where tens of thousands of mutated macaques were hidden.

"Infantry fighting vehicle advance! Crystal rifles, prepare!"

Company Commander Chen Feng stood on top of the armored vehicle, holding up binoculars.

A mournful monkey cry echoed from the forest.

Hundreds of mutated macaques with bloodshot eyes leaped down from the treetops and pounced on the armored convoy.

"Fire!"

Gunpowder exploded, carrying hundreds of eerie blue high-energy rays that intertwined to form an impenetrable net of death.

The mutated macaque's body vaporized instantly upon contact with the radiation.

Keep pushing forward! Keep pushing forward!

Half an hour later, the armored convoy slowly came to a stop in front of a high ground.

Chen Feng jumped out of the car and strode forward, stepping over the blood and grime on the ground.

At the end of the highlands stood a stone tablet.

The stone tablet was covered in blood and moss.

Chen Feng stepped forward and slung his gun over his back.

He stretched out his rough palms and vigorously wiped the surface of the stone tablet.

again and again.

Finally, the red writing appeared.

"Da Xia".

Chen Feng took a step back and stood at attention.

"salute!"

Behind him, hundreds of soldiers covered in gunpowder smoke raised their right hands in unison.

Northern route.

Soldiers from the 112th Division also lined up in front of the boundary marker.

Led by the "Cheng Ying" mech, after annihilating the invading Siberian wolf pack, Zhao Tiejun led his troops in a sweeping advance, finally returning to the border.

Outside the boundary marker.

Millions of rotting bodies shoved each other.

They smelled the scent of living people and pushed forward frantically.

The zombies were dressed in rags and had various skin colors.

It even includes enormous, mutated creatures.

"Commander, those bastards outside have gathered a large group again, almost a thousand."

The operations staff gripped the tactical tablet tightly and swallowed hard.

Zhao Tiejun sneered.

"Set up the heavy machine guns! Activate the crystal core radar!"

He turned his head sharply and roared.

"Tell the brothers, the old rules apply. Anyone who crosses the line, even half a step, will be mincemeat!"

Click, click, click. Bullet loaded.

The Great Xia army built an iron wall along the border.

Within the boundary marker, not an inch of land will be yielded.

Beyond the boundary marker, hell rages.

……

Kunlun Base, Operations Command Center.

All the staff officers and generals were focused on the holographic sand table in the center.

Su Ran stood quietly beside the leader.

On the sand table, the map of the Great Xia Dynasty has been filled with azure blue.

Only a few tiny red dots remain in the southwestern border and northwestern regions, flashing rapidly.

These are the last two units that are clearing out the remaining enemy forces.

drop!

The red dot in the Northwest has gone out.

Immediately afterwards, the last vestige of red on the southwestern border collapsed.

The entire holographic sand table shone brightly.

A complete, azure blue rooster stands proudly in the center of the command hall.

The light shone on everyone's face.

A major from the Information Department strode to the command post, holding a newly printed document in his hand. He stood ramrod straight, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Reporting, sir! The latest summary from the General Staff!"

Swish.

The major unfolded the document and read it aloud.

"As of 2:30 PM."

"The 38th and 39th Group Armies of the Northern Theater Command have successfully joined forces in Mohe, and the border outposts have raised their flags again!"

"The 76th Group Army of the Western Theater Command, advance to the Pamir Plateau and blockade all mountain passes and key routes!"

"Southern Theater Command Marine Corps, clear the coastline of the Qiongzhou Strait and establish a coastal defense base!"

"Eastern Theater Command..."

Every word, every sentence, was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the very bones and blood of every Great Xia soldier present.

"Within the sovereign territory of Great Xia, there are no longer any organized mutated biological communities! The large-scale cleanup campaign within the territory has come to an end!"

After the major finished reading the last line, his chest suddenly bulged, he took a deep breath, and roared out the last sentence with all his might.

"The entire territory of Great Xia has been recovered!"

boom!

The hall erupted in cheers.

The entire command center was so quiet that the faint hum of the communication equipment could be heard.

No one cheered. No one screamed.

Zhang Xiao plopped down in a chair, his eyes red-rimmed, his large hands gripping the edge of the table tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

He turned his head away, pretending to look at the screen, and wiped his face haphazardly with his rough sleeve.

Li Guodong gritted his teeth, looked up at the ceiling, and exhaled a long breath.

Many of the young staff officers, communications soldiers, and switchboard operators covered their mouths and silently shed tears.

The bloody battle fought by millions of soldiers on the front lines.

The tireless work of hundreds of millions of workers day and night.

Great Xia survived.

Su Ran looked at the map on the holographic sand table that radiated unparalleled light and took a deep breath.

"In this life, I won the gamble."

"Give orders to the various war zones."

Li Guodong's voice was terribly hoarse. He cleared his throat and turned to look at Zhang Xiao.

"Tell the brothers on the front lines to rest where they are. They'll have extra food tonight."

Zhang Xiao nodded emphatically, grabbed the communicator, and spoke in a booming voice.

"Announcement to the entire army! We have won!"

A few short words, carried by radio waves, flew over mountains and rivers, reaching every trench and every outpost.

On this day, the entire Great Xia territory welcomed a long-awaited carnival.

Su Ran looked at the bustling hall and let out a long sigh.

The clenched fist slowly loosened.

The leader remained seated quietly in his chair.

A flicker of emotion also flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He raised his withered hand and pressed it down.

The hall fell silent instantly.

"Xiao Su gave me a suggestion before."

He looked at Su Ran and said calmly, "The day the entire territory is recovered, the whole country will have a holiday."

The old man stood up and glanced at everyone present.

"Relay my orders."

"Throughout the entire Great Xia territory, all non-essential military production shall cease immediately. All frontline troops shall rest and recuperate in place."

The leader paused, his voice steady.

Nationwide, half a day off.

Open the dome-shaped passageway of the underground city.

Let the people of Great Xia see the sun.
