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

Upon hearing this, all the generals present gasped in shock.

"Warlordism..."

Sun Desheng's voice was dry.

He spent his entire life working in the civil affairs department and knew all too well what kind of monsters humans would become if they lost the shackles of order and had no moral bottom line.

"This means that there are definitely a considerable number of top-tier awakened individuals overseas."

Li Guodong's eyes were equally grave. "Moreover, in terms of top-tier combat strength alone, they might not be weaker than Great Xia at all!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room plummeted to freezing point.

The Great Xia Dynasty has almost completely preserved its population of 1.2 billion, but it has a fatal weakness in terms of awakened individuals.

That seemingly perfect underground city, while blocking the Red Rain virus, also completely severed the opportunity for the evolution of 1.2 billion people.

"The survivors abroad are Gu who were selected by the red rain and the zombie horde."

His voice was somewhat bitter.

"Although 99 percent of them died, the 1 percent that survived were all monsters that crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

In that environment, no one can say for sure what kind of awakened individuals will emerge.

boom!

Zhang Xiao slammed his hand on the edge of the table, causing the holographic projection to flicker.

"Who cares about some kind of Gu King! No matter how powerful he is, he's still just flesh and blood! One missile and he'll all be blown to bits."

Zhang Xiao looked at Su Ran like a protective old wolf.

"Xiao Su! I propose that you be assigned to the team of all the top ten Awakened Ones in the country!"

Bring along Zhu Jingye, who can transfer damage, and Mo Yun, who plays with poison!

The weapons are all top-of-the-line!

Academician Wei Jianguo of the Longke Academy followed closely behind.

"The Academy of Sciences' latest generation 'Cheng Ying' tactical mech has completed data collection. Although it's not yet in mass production, the prototype can be equipped directly on you!"

"Not only do we need to bring mechs, but we also need to bring a few miniature nuclear bombs for self-defense!"

Everyone chimed in, eager to entrust the most advanced military force of the Great Xia Dynasty to Su Ran.

There's no other way; Su Ran is now the lifeblood of Great Xia!

Su Ran sat in her seat, quietly listening to the arrangements made by the group of veterans.

Once everyone's voices had subsided, he slowly reached out and tapped the holographic sand table.

The projection instantly magnified, locking onto the vast ice plains of Siberia.

"Commander, ministers, and generals."

Su Ran's voice was calm, yet carried an overwhelming determination.

I appreciate everyone's kindness.

But let me make one thing clear: my mission is to plunder resources, not to occupy territory.

It's not about going to fight against awakened individuals from abroad.

He rested his hands on his chin, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"The more people there are, the greater the variables. What I need is ultimate concealment and absolute mobility."

Everyone's breath hitched.

"Don't forget my abilities."

Su Ran looked at Qian Liye,

"Back then, I could empty the North China strategic grain reserves in a few minutes. Now, I can drain the Middle East oil fields and mine the Siberian mineral veins without attracting attention."

"I brought Bai Lu and Ye Xiao along because they have enough self-defense capabilities and can handle the most difficult emergencies for me."

The three of us can attack or disappear instantly.

He spoke in a joking tone,

"I'm going to be a thief and a robber. A robber can't bring his family along."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

The generals looked at each other, still worried, but Su Ran's tactical logic was impeccable.

Everyone looked at the leader.

The leader held the teacup in both hands, gazing intently at Su Ran with a deep look in his eyes.

The two looked at each other across the long table.

One is the helmsman of a great nation who shoulders the fate of 1.2 billion people; the other is the hope of a nation that returns from the future and holds limitless potential.

A full ten seconds passed.

"it is good."

The leader spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiao opened his mouth, then sighed and obediently sat back down in his chair.

"Trust those you employ."

The leader put down his teacup, his voice ringing out in the hall.

"The Great Xia Central Government has given its full approval to Su Ran's action plan!"

He turned to look at Li Guodong and gave the order.

"The entire information command center is operating overnight!"

"Compile and document the precise coordinates of all known strategic reserves, large mineral veins, and industrial bases overseas!"

At the same time, the distribution of overseas survivor forces and the activity trajectories of suspected high-level mutated beasts captured by the Tianyan satellite will be compiled into a top-level encrypted intelligence database!

The commander's gaze sharpened. "Transfer all these documents to Xiao Su within twelve hours!"

"yes!"

Li Guodong slammed his feet together and responded sternly.

The leader looked at Su Ran again.

"I'm entrusting the logistical lifeline of Great Xia to you."

The old man's tone was ruthless: "Remember, no matter how dangerous it is outside, you have the support of millions of troops from the Great Xia Dynasty."

"If you encounter something impossible, don't fight it head-on, retreat."

His voice boomed through the hall, "Great Xia's missiles are ready to provide you with global strike firepower coverage at any time!"

"clear!"

Su Ran suddenly stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

……

The meeting is adjourned!

The Great Xia war machine has officially revealed its expeditionary fangs to the world!

Push open the heavy alloy door of the highest conference room.

A cold wind blew in from the corridor.

Bai Lu and Ye Xiao were leaning against the wall, waiting.

Ye Xiao, holding the long, narrow battle sword in his arms, looked up and asked, "Approved?"

"Approved."

Su Ran strode forward, his combat boots making a crisp sound on the alloy floor.

Bai Lu quickly caught up, handing over a tactical tablet. "Where to our first stop?"

Su Ran took the tablet, her gaze falling on the white continent covered in snow and ice on the screen.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

"Siberia."

"Go and borrow back the coal that Da Xia uses for winter."

"Shall we set off now?"

"No rush."

Su Ran stopped, her eyes becoming incredibly deep. "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. I'll go get something first."

He raised his wrist and tapped the tactical terminal screen with his fingertips.

Communication is established.

"Director Qian."

Su Ran's voice was flat. "Where are those second-tier crystal cores I pre-ordered last time?"

On the other end of the radio wave, Qian Liye, director of the Material Reserves Administration, gasped for breath:

"Locked in Vault Zero. A total of four hundred and thirty. These are all top-tier Tier 2 items selected from various war zones!"

"Bring it up."

As Su Ran walked, he gave the order, "Deliver it to the Awakened Headquarters of Kunlun Base within fifteen minutes."

"Take all of them?"

Qian Liye gasped.

"Take it all. Leave not a single one."

Su Ran's gaze swept over Bai Lu and Ye Xiao beside her, her voice carrying an air of domineering power that seemed to cut through everything.

"I will use them to create the sharpest knife in the Great Xia Dynasty."
