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

Chen Fei gripped the crystal core rifle tightly, his voice hoarse.

Wang Dachui spat out the burnt cigarette butt from his mouth, then hugged the rifle in his arms tightly and assumed a fighting stance.

"You bunch of greenhorns, open your eyes wide!"

Wang Dachui's rough voice echoed in the carriage.

"Artillery fire can plow the ground, but it can't plow every corner clean. Be ready to engage the enemy at any time."

The Great Xia army flag fluttered in the wind above the cannon barrels, piercing straight into the heart of the Siberian plain.

"Creak!"

The tracks crushed a half-dead mutated wolf, turning it into a bloody pulp.

"Squad leader, the radar is working!"

The new recruit, acting as a messenger, shouted.

On the screen, at the edge of the sea of ​​fire directly in front of them, countless red dots were rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Those were mutated beasts that had been startled by the artillery fire and gone berserk.

"Attention all vehicles, we have encountered a large-scale beast tide. Size assessment: 3,000 beasts, a mix of Tier 1 and Tier 2."

The battalion commander's cold voice came through the radio.

"No slowing down! No swerving! Run them over! Vehicle-mounted weapons, fire freely!"

"Don't you dare shake your hands! Chen Fei, you go up and control the heavy machine gun!"

Squad leader Wang Dachui patted Chen Fei's helmet, and before he could answer, his eyes turned to the commander's screen.

"After the artillery fire swept through, the first-tier ones were long gone, and what remained were mostly the tough, high-tier ones."

"When the hatch opens, anyone who dares to close their eyes and fire a shot will be shot dead by me!"

"clear!"

The recruits' eyes were red, and they roared in unison.

"Charge!"

The armor plates on top of the infantry fighting vehicle slid open.

As Chen Fei stepped out of the cabin, he squinted, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Less than two kilometers ahead, on scorched earth, hundreds of mutated snow wolves, each the size of a calf, were charging towards them, baring their fangs covered in sticky mucus.

Behind the wolf pack followed a densely packed army of zombies.

Second-tier mutated brown bear!

Thick layers of fat and hard bones have evolved into something comparable to armor during this month of savage growth.

"Eight hundred meters away!"

"Five hundred meters!"

"beat!"

Wang Dachui roared and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Aaaaah! Die!"

Chen Fei's eyes were bloodshot as he unleashed a furious roar, channeling his pent-up fear into a powerful barrage of fire.

"Da da da da da!"

The heavy machine gun barrel vibrated violently, and the golden bullet casings rained down on the floor of the carriage.

The 12.7mm bullet, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, pierced directly through the body of the mutated wolf charging at the front.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Dozens of armored vehicles simultaneously unleashed their firepower along the entire forward defensive line.

The first-tier zombies in the front row didn't even get within 500 meters of the convoy before they were riddled with bullets.

The mangled body fell to the ground, where it was trampled into a pulp by its own kind rushing up from behind, and then harvested by bullets once more.

There was no probing, no pulling.

It was nothing but a pure, one-sided massacre.

After resolving the battle, the convoy continued for less than five kilometers.

From a low-lying frozen crater on the flank, more than a dozen massive black figures rushed out.

The specialty of the White Bear Kingdom is the brown bear.

After mutation, these second-tier mutated bears are over five meters long, covered with thick bone plates, and their fur is as sharp as steel needles.

When conventional heavy machine gun bullets hit them, they sparked a trail of fire, but only lodged in the shallow flesh.

They charged forward, braving a hail of bullets.

"Right flank, three o'clock position! A second-tier mutated bear pack!"

Observe the slight change in the hand's expression, and then loudly warn.

Wang Dachui glanced at the screen, his expression serious.

"Machine guns, cease fire! Don't waste bullets. Second platoon, prepare the electromagnetic cannons!"

The turrets of the two Type 99A main battle tanks spun rapidly.

The fire control radar locked onto the mutated bear as it charged forward.

"put!"

An energy beam shot out.

The second-tier mutated bear at the very front had most of its upper body shaved off.

The remaining body, propelled by inertia, fell forward, carving a deep trench more than ten meters long into the ground.

"Keep pushing! Maintain formation!"

Wang Dachui shouted into the communicator,

"Logistics supply vehicles, follow up and collect all the crystal cores along the way, don't miss a single one!"

The Great Xia's ironclad battle line pressed forward without hesitation.

Faced with these mutated creatures, whose highest level is currently only second tier, the Great Xia army did not employ any fancy tactics such as flanking maneuvers or encirclements.

The most effective tactic is the most ruthless push!

Armored vehicles cleared the way, artillery bombarded the ground, and infantry reaped the harvest.

Chen Fei released the scalding trigger, panting heavily.

He wiped his face hard.

"Class monitor... is that all?"

"How complicated do you want it to be?"

Wang Dachui lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"It's not like it's the first time we've fought a war. What, do you really think you have to go up there with a bayonet and wrestle with a bear that's two stories tall to consider it a victory?"

"Hehe, the main reason is that I've never fought against foreign mutated beasts."

Chen Fei grinned and spoke.

"Toads abroad don't have three legs either."

Wang Dachui flicked his cigarette ash, but then his eyes deepened and his voice grew lower.

"However, in this day and age, there may still be three-legged toads."

"Look at that bear, it's almost as tall as a two-story building."

His gaze swept over the charred remains scattered around him, and he spoke earnestly.

"The monsters outside aren't very high level yet, which is the perfect time for us to rack up kills and take over territory."

In a few months, when groups of third- and fourth-tier monsters appear, it will be truly a matter of risking one's life to advance.

So now, kill as many as you can!

The armored convoy rolled forward, leaving behind a trail of charred remains.

At the same time, the western and southern fronts also completed their first round of firepower.

On the plateau, heavily armored mech units poured down like a steel torrent, advancing deep into the Central Asian corridor.

In the tropical rainforest, napalm bombs burned a scorched path several kilometers wide, and the southern troops marched triumphantly through the scorched earth.

……

The highest operational command center inside the Daxia Kunlun base.

The azure blocks representing the Great Xia army on the holographic sand table are expanding outwards at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

"Report! The vanguard force on the northern front has advanced 30 kilometers into the territory of the White Bear Kingdom! The mutated beast hordes along the way have been completely wiped out!"

"Report! The Western Front Army Group has successfully taken over the abandoned heavy industrial zone in Kazakhstan without encountering strong resistance!"

"Report! The heavy combined arms brigade on the southern front has penetrated the outer edge of the rainforest and is establishing an forward base!"

Victory reports poured into the command center like snowflakes.

The tense atmosphere in the meeting room finally eased a little.

On the big screen, most of the red dots surrounding the border of the Great Xia Kingdom were wiped out in the first round of attacks.

The blue arrow representing the Great Xia army is piercing into that scarlet global map with unstoppable momentum.

A suppressed cheer erupted in the hall.

"Good! Well done!"

Qian Liye let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"With crystal core weapons and heavy armor, dealing with first and second-tier creatures is a complete dimensional reduction attack."

At this rate of progress, we will soon be able to establish a foothold overseas.

The leader didn't speak, but simply stood with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the large screen.

Su Ran stood at the back, watching the battle situation on the screen, her expression calm.

This was exactly what he had expected.

It would be a joke if a well-organized modern armored formation couldn't even easily overwhelm the most basic first and second-tier mutant beasts.

"That's fucking spectacular..."

Ye Xiao leaned against the wall, his eyes shining, "I'm even starting to think about going to the front lines to pilot a mecha."

"Save your breath. Pushing forward on the front lines is the job of the regular army. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Su Ran turned her head and said solemnly, "Our battlefield isn't there!"
