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

"Superpower Evolution!"

Su Ran's eyes lit up suddenly, and she immediately picked up where Li Guodong left off.

"That's right. That's exactly the point!"

Li Guodong nodded excitedly, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Establish a financial system specifically designed for Awakened teams, with 'supernatural resources' as the core element!"

"Currently, on the entire surface of Blue Star, only our Great Xia has preserved a complete biological industrial system, and is conducting large-scale and systematic research on superpowers."

These wasteland awakeners wanted to improve their strength more quickly and have more resources to survive in the apocalypse.

They'll have no choice but to obediently bow down to Great Xia and cooperate with us!

Moreover, this is a continuous positive impetus.

As long as foreign awakened individuals join the Great Xia system, enhance their strength with the help of Great Xia potions, and our propaganda machine is activated...

This will immediately create a stampede-like infighting within the entire Awakened community of the wasteland!

If you don't cooperate, others will be stronger than you if they do!

Ultimately, this system will bind all awakened beings worldwide firmly to the advancing chariot of Great Xia!

This is a blatant, overt conspiracy.

You can choose not to cooperate with Da Xia, but then you can only watch helplessly as your enemies and competitors grow stronger with Da Xia's help.

Using an invisible financial system, we recruit awakened individuals from around the world to work for Great Xia!

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao gasped and couldn't help but swear.

"Holy crap...good heavens!"

I originally thought my two knives were ruthless enough to kill people, but I never imagined that those people in finance back home were even more ruthless!

He, always eager for drama, chimed in.

"Treat the wasteland awakened ones like韭菜 (leeks) to be harvested!"

"We make these foreigners work themselves to the bone for us, charging to the front lines to kill monsters, and in the end they're expected to be grateful to us."

A hint of shock flashed in Bai Lu's cool eyes, and she commented incisively.

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit. This kind of binding of interests will make them forever vassals of the Great Xia."

"If they dare to rebel, the Great Xia wouldn't even need to lift a finger; simply cutting off their resource quota would suffice."

Su Ran's lips curled into a smile as she continued the conversation.

Before the catastrophe, the US dollar's hegemony relied on its aircraft carrier fleet and its ties to oil.

Now, the old credit system has completely collapsed.

The Great Xia's hegemony relies on its globally unique and complete bio-industrial system, as well as its absolute monopoly on "superpower development"!

His eyes were sharp, and he saw through the essence behind it all.

"No one can refuse such an open and honest strategy."

Even knowing they were being exploited, in order to survive in the apocalypse, they still had to eagerly beg the Great Xia to harvest them!

Li Guodong nodded with a smile.

"Before the catastrophe, finance was the invisible nuclear weapon between nations."

Even in apocalyptic times, they can still be used as weapons of mass destruction.

He looked at the people in the holographic projection and solemnly added,

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for this system."

That is, the top awakened forces native to Great Xia must possess an absolutely overwhelming advantage in strength, as the cornerstone for the stable operation of this system.

Therefore, during the implementation process, the state will definitely provide the most extreme resource allocation and preferential treatment to the awakened individuals within the country.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Xiao, and he suddenly realized a blind spot.

"Director Li, something's not right. There's a big problem here."

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze in that direction.

Ye Xiao frowned and spoke.

"The United States, across the ocean, is the real master of playing financial tricks and pursuing hegemonic exploitation, isn't it?"

Those Wall Street elites must also be hiding in underground bunkers.

What if they copy our methods underground and create some kind of superpower system?

After all, many foreigners, even some spineless ones, treat the US like their own father.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran and Li Guodong exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a mocking sneer.

"Copy? What did they copy?"

Su Ran snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.

"The underground government of the United States would never dare to show its face, much less openly expose its structure."

"You should know that before the end of the world, those politicians and tycoons directly sealed off the underground bunkers."

Right now, those who most want those politicians dead are not the people of Great Xia!

"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish."

Li Guodong also smiled and picked up the conversation.

"According to the Academy of Sciences' estimates, there are at least several million survivors in North America, and the number of awakened individuals is conservatively estimated to be around a thousand."

As long as we make the coordinates of the entrances to those underground fortresses public, we won't have to do anything ourselves.

Those self-righteous politicians will be torn to shreds by the angry masses they once abandoned!

"I see."

Su Ran exhaled a long breath, completely dispelling the last trace of doubt in her heart.

"Please rest assured, Central Command, I will fully cooperate with the advancement of this strategy of Great Xia."

"good!"

Li Guodong nodded. "Your initial three-person team has a very simple mission right now."

All they need to do is break the hardest bones of those disobedient forces and take away the most crucial strategic resources.

The rest is up to our subsequent expeditionary force!

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Su Ran nodded.

Just as Su Ran was about to cut off the communication, Li Guodong suddenly changed the subject, his expression becoming extremely strange.

"Xiao Su, don't hang up yet. There's an emergency that I need to let you know."

"What's going on?"

Li Guodong picked up a red-headed document marked "Top Secret" from the table and shook it.

"Just twenty minutes ago, the Daxia Information Command intercepted and deciphered a fixed-point transmitted plaintext radio wave."

"Who sent the email?" Su Ran raised an eyebrow.

"The underground government of the White Bear Kingdom." Li Guodong narrowed his eyes.

Hearing this name, Su Ran was not surprised.

The leader had previously asserted that the elites of these old empires were definitely not all dead, but had long since hidden themselves in underground bunkers.

Now they finally couldn't hold back any longer and started to emerge.

"What did they say?" Su Ran leaned back in her chair.

"This is an extremely strongly worded... protest letter."

Li Guodong sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

They accused the Great Xia of being treacherous and taking advantage of the chaos.

They claimed that a Bactrian armed force illegally intruded into Siberian airspace and looted their national-level military storage facilities.

"Holy crap?"

Ye Xiao, listening from the side, stared wide-eyed.

"These old Russians are hiding underground like turtles, but they haven't missed a single surveillance shot on the surface, have they?"

"Not only that."

Li Guodong continued.

"The other party is still in plaintext communication, and as a sovereign nation, they strongly demand that Great Xia immediately stop this 'banditry'."

These words were spoken.

The surrounding air instantly dropped to freezing point.

Ye Xiao was so angry that he laughed, and placed his palm directly on the hilt of the knife.

"These useless cowards, hiding in air-raid shelters and not daring to utter a sound, actually dare to talk back to the Great Xia?"

Su Ran's expression remained unchanged, her eyes cold.

"These remaining politicians are truly persistent. They pretended to be dead and remained silent when Great Xia broadcast its global message."

I just started emptying a few warehouses, and they're already jumping out to talk about sovereignty.

Su Ran's tone was eerily calm. "Old Li, what's the news from back home?"

Li Guodong smiled, a smile that was extremely firm and exuded the unique pride of a soldier from the Great Xia Dynasty.

"The leader only had the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reply with four words."

"Which four words?"

"No comment."
