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

Su Ran casually flipped through the documents in her hand.

The document contains detailed lists of supplies and coordinates for various major war stockpiles.

"very good."

Su Ran closed the file and tossed it onto the table.

"I'll collect the supplies. What you need to do now is to reassure the people on the ground."

Daxia hoped to see a John's Nation that would undergo a peaceful transition and be able to immediately begin industrial operations.

Boris couldn't hide his delight upon hearing this.

He knew he had won his gamble!

The Great Xia needs an obedient administrator to appease the local survivors and maintain order.

The future global trend is unstoppable, but he has retained his power and status.

"but."

Just as Boris was secretly gloating, Su Ran slammed her hands on the table, looking down at Boris.

"You must abide by the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"That's how it should be."

Boris straightened his back and made a solemn vow.

"The entire Kingdom of John will absolutely obey the arrangements of Great Xia. We are Great Xia's sharpest sword, ready to be dispatched at any time."

"Remember what you said."

Su Ran stood up.

"If you disobey, it won't be as simple as hanging. The blade of Great Xia is sharper than the claws of mutated creatures."

The conversation ended.

Su Ran led the team out of the conference room.

"Su Ran, are we just going to let this hypocritical prime minister get away with it like this?"

Bai Lu followed behind, and said angrily, "I feel nauseous just looking at his face."

"He's still useful. Keeping him in the back office to manage these scheming foreigners will save us a lot of trouble."

Su Ran walked to the elevator and pressed the up button.

"I will also apply to the central government to have the Kunlun base send political commissars and special envoys to assist John's 'reform'."

Politicians who profited from human suffering will all be sent to labor reform; none will escape.

"The Great Xia mainly focuses its efforts on dealing with mutated creatures and has no time to worry about their eating, drinking, and excretion."

Su Ran's eyes were deep as she continued to add.

"The Kingdom of John has a population of 300 million underground and at least 50 survivors on the surface."

Arming them all and using them as the vanguard to wipe out the European continent would save the Great Xia a lot of effort.

He's a shrewd person, but the shrewder a person is, the easier they are to control if you can grasp their weaknesses.

Bai Lu nodded thoughtfully.

As soon as the two left the underground base and returned to the surface, they saw Ye Xiao striding towards them.

"How is the situation? What were their reactions?" Su Ran asked.

"They are very cautious, but they have all expressed their willingness to try to participate in the Awakened system built by the Great Xia."

"Um."

Su Ran was not surprised by this result at all.

"This does indeed align with the survival rules of the wasteland awakened."

After the research team of Daxia helped them systematically study and improve their superpowers, and they tasted the benefits,

They would willingly be bound to the war chariot of Great Xia.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the densely packed coordinates of supplies on the tactical terminal.

"We need to speed things up; there are still many supply depots waiting for us."

Immediately afterwards, Su Ran began operating the tactical terminal.

He packaged and sent all the videos of Boris's defection to the central government of Daxia.

"The matter concerning the Kingdom of John is settled."

Su Ran lowered her wrist. "Let the political commissar from Kunlun Base take over the remaining modifications. Let's get down to business."

For the next three hours, Su Ran and her group didn't stop at all.

Following the coordinates on the list, Su Ran and her group showed no mercy, with the Xuan Nu fighter jets sweeping over the British Isles like ghosts.

Birmingham heavy industrial area, Manchester underground metal warehouse, and abandoned Royal Navy shipyard.

Wherever Su Ran went, it was like a locust plague.

Thousands of high-precision five-axis CNC machine tools with top-notch manufacturing processes, mountains of special titanium alloy plates, and hundreds of tons of aero-engine rotors...

They were all swallowed up by that invisible, gigantic maw of void.

The officers Boris sent to accompany the handover didn't dare to breathe loudly the entire time.

This is not a handover at all.

This was a one-sided looting, a miracle in itself.

However, Su Ran did not completely cut off all access; some small and medium-sized resource reserve points were simply allowed to be transferred.

The future John Kingdom will also serve as the vanguard force in cooperating with the Great Xia in its campaign to wipe out Europe, so necessary military reserves must be maintained.

They even need the Great Xia to send over the latest crystal core weapons.

Three hours later, the Xuan Nu fighter jet climbed vertically, tearing through the sound barrier, and headed straight for the Middle East.

……

The Gulf region, once the "black gold heart" of the blue planet.

Now, all you can see is endless yellow sand.

The damaged oil pipeline lay sprawled haphazardly on the cracked earth.

The fighter jet hovered above a huge open-pit oil field.

"Bang!"

Ye Xiao leaped from the fighter jet, drawing his twin swords in the process, creating a flurry of blade light.

"hiss!"

Before the mutated sand lizards that were lurking under the abandoned oil pump could even roar, they were cleaved in two by the flash of the blade.

The foul-smelling green blood sprayed onto the scalding sand and evaporated instantly.

Ye Xiao shook the blood off his knife, revealing a disdainful expression.

"This lousy place is as hot as a sauna."

He looked around and kicked the remains of a sand lizard on the ground.

"I wonder where all those princes who used to wear only a cloak on their heads and were rolling in wealth have gone?"

"The Gulf region does not lack funds; what it lacks is a systematic heavy industry and infrastructure capabilities."

Su Ran's voice was cold and clear.

"The catastrophe struck very quickly, and their proud financial assets became worthless."

Without the support of an independent industrial mother machine, no amount of money can dig a nuclear-proof underground fortress.

Except for a few who escaped to Europe and North America, the vast majority of them have probably already become food for mutated creatures.

Ye Xiao clicked his tongue and said nothing more.

The white deer descended slowly, its feet treading on the void.

His mental power spread like ripples, confirming that there were no more high-level mutated creatures within a ten-kilometer radius.

"According to the coordinates provided by technical experts from the Great Xia Energy Agency, this is the core hub of the Ghavar oil field, the largest in the Gulf."

He pointed to a giant metal building half-buried in the sand ahead.

"The main valve is down below."

Su Ran strode forward, his military boots rustling on the yellow sand.

He walked up to the massive metal building and placed his palm on the rusty alloy door.

"Break open," Su Ran ordered.

Ye Xiao exerted force with both arms and slashed down with his sword!

With a piercing metallic tearing sound, the blast door was violently ripped off and smashed to the side.

Inside is a huge underground space where a complex network of large pipes converges, connecting to underground oil layers thousands of meters deep.

"The millions of war machines in the Great Xia consume an astronomical amount of energy every day."

The country's existing energy reserves are simply insufficient to support a global campaign of containment.

Su Ran stood in front of the main pipeline interface, his eyes dark. "Old Ye, clear the area and establish a perimeter."

"White Deer, seal off the airspace within a two-kilometer radius."

The two acted upon receiving the order.

Su Ran slowly closed her eyes.

The immense spiritual energy flowed wildly downwards and permeated through the cracks in the earth's crust.

One thousand meters. Two thousand meters. Three thousand meters.

In that deep, dark underground world, a vast and boundless "black ocean" lies dormant.

He placed his hands lightly in mid-air and spoke slowly.

"This time, let me drain the bay dry!"
