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

Alexei was standing on a pile of minced meat.

He ignored Su Ran's sarcasm and nonchalantly wiped the bits of meat between his fingers with a rag.

"People of Great Xia, don't be so quick to deny my masterpiece."

He threw away the rag, opened his arms, and showed Su Ran the densely packed iron cages on the surrounding circular stands.

"Look at these."

"The chances of relying on the vague and elusive natural awakening are too low."

Out of tens of thousands of survivors, finding fifty Awakened Ones would be the limit.

Alexei walked up to an orc locked in a reinforced steel cage.

The monster had a human upper body, but was covered in bear skin, and its hands had grown sharp claws. It was gripping the iron bars and roaring madly.

"As long as there are enough raw materials."

He slammed his hand on the steel railing, the force of which dented it.

"I can mass-produce these fearless, tireless war machines using an assembly line approach."

"The fighting prowess of beasts combined with the intellect of humans. Once the cross-species genetic lock is unlocked, this is the future."

Alexei braced his hands on the bloodied and mangled operating table, staring intently at Su Ran.

"You have a huge population base, but I have the technology to alter evolutionary history!"

"Let's make a deal."

He held up a thick finger.

Give me a hundred million people.

"I only want 100 million of your most common inferior genes; leaving them there would be a waste of food."

"Hand them over to me."

A morbid fanaticism shone in Alexei's eyes.

"I can return one million super soldiers to Great Xia. This vast frozen land in the Far East will become the largest arsenal."

I will act as your agent in the Far East, helping you guard your northern border. Everyone gets what they need.

"Did I hear that right? Or are you drunk too much fake alcohol?"

Ye Xiao chuckled, then with a backhand slash, pierced through the explosion-proof steel plate beneath his feet.

"You want to take the lives of 100 million people in Great Xia with just a few words?"

Su Ran spoke up, "Using living people to create these Frankenstein's monsters, you think you're so great?"

A spatial fluctuation flashed, and a crystal energy battle blade appeared in his hand. His gaze swept over the living people around him who were being used as consumables.

"You're using the Great Xia's broadcasts as a bargaining chip?"

He turned around, his eyes flashing coldly. "Today I'm going to skin you alive with my own hands."

Alexei stood up straight.

"The law of the jungle is the only rule in the wasteland. Keeping those useless weaklings around will only hold you back."

"So you think you have a lot of value in united front work?"

"certainly."

Alexei said proudly,

"We, the 'Black Swan,' possess the strongest armed forces in the Far East, as well as unique gene fusion technology."

We are the most suitable partners for Great Xia.

Su Ran smiled.

Alexei smiled too.

"Old Ye," Su Ran said solemnly, his smile fading.

"Hey bro."

"Tell him what the rules are for the Great Xia's global takeover."

Ye Xiao drew his Tang sword and flicked his wrist to shake off the dust from the blade.

"If you want to eat from the Great Xia's bowl, you have to obey the Great Xia's rules."

"First rule: We will not accept inhuman scum. Second rule: Any animal that dares to treat people like expendable resources will be chopped up on sight."

Su Ran stepped through the blood and grime on the floor and walked step by step toward the operating table.

"Did you understand?"

Su Ran's gaze was cold and sharp, and her voice was as cold as ice.

"The Great Xia is meant to gather strength to deal with the apocalyptic disaster, not to provide a sanctuary for perverts."

The experiments you're so proud of are, in our eyes, less than a pile of shit.

"The first bottom line of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force: Never dine at the same table with cannibals."

Su Ran stopped in her tracks, the tip of her knife pointing at Alexei.

"The Great Xia has taken over this territory."

As for you and your bunch of inhuman freaks—the death penalty. Leave no one alive.

"People of Great Xia, I believe we have already lowered our stance enough."

Alexei's face turned completely grim.

"Your army is strong, and your weapons are advanced. But in the end times, that is not the only truth."

He took a half step back and roared.

"Kill them!"

Alexei stared at Su Ran, a greedy glint in his crimson eyes.

"To have made it this far, your genes must be exceptional. I'm going to turn them into the finest experimental subjects!"

Before the words were finished, hundreds of wild beasts roared from the surrounding shadows.

Their powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, and they pounced on the three of them like a black tide.

The dozen or so half-beast warriors at the front, who had fused with high-level mutated beasts, were extremely fast, unleashing their supernatural powers at the three of them.

"My blade has been itching for a long time, all of you, die!"

Ye Xiao laughed wildly, and dark red energy channels instantly spread throughout his body.

Clang! Twin swords drawn!

Ye Xiao transformed into a black and red killing tornado, plunging headlong into the monster horde and going on a killing spree!

puff!puff!puff!

The blade sliced ​​through, tearing flesh apart.

Ye Xiao's movements were completely devoid of any fancy tricks; they were the most straightforward killing techniques on the battlefield.

A three-meter-tall bear-like orc roared and swung its giant claw down. Ye Xiao twisted his body in an extremely strange way, gliding past the bear's claw, and crossed his twin blades in a slashing motion.

A huge head shot into the sky.

"Too slow! Too slow!"

Ye Xiao weaved through the monster horde, his blade flashing like a tapestry.

the other side.

The white deer didn't even move an inch.

Her eyes flashed with a deep blue light, and her immense mental power exploded outwards like a tangible tsunami, centered on her.

The thirty-odd orcs rushing towards her and Su Ran stopped abruptly, as if they had hit an invisible wall, ten meters away from them.

"Kneel down."

boom! boom! boom!

The knees of the dozen or so orcs in the front row were instantly shattered, the immense pressure pinning them to the ground.

No matter how much they screamed and struggled, their bones were cracking under the strain.

The next second, a bright blue light shone in Bai Lu's eyes.

"die."

puff!

The heads of the dozen or so suppressed orcs exploded all at once, like ripe watermelons.

Sold out instantly.

This is the terrifying efficiency of a mentalist when crushing weaker opponents.

Alexei, who had retreated all the way to the operating table in the core of the submarine dock, watched as his proud "super army" was slaughtered by these two like cutting melons and vegetables, his eyes twitching violently.

This orc army was created using thousands of skilled people!

He underestimated the strength of the top awakened beings in Great Xia.

This overwhelming fighting power cannot be defeated by sheer numbers.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" Alexei roared, breaking down in anger.
