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

The leader strode forward, his faded Zhongshan suit seemingly bearing an immense weight.

He pushed open the heavy, soundproof door to the office and walked to his desk.

Instead of sitting down, he turned to face the huge map of the Great Xia territory on the wall, covered with small red flags.

"Commander."

The bodyguard who had been waiting in the shadows quickly stepped forward and handed over a sealed top-secret file.

"This is the latest progress report on the 'Ω-9' special project."

The leader took the file, his fingertips stroking the rough cover, but he didn't open it immediately.

"They all thought I was giving them a warning."

The old man gazed at the solitary map of the Great Xia Dynasty on the sand table, as if speaking to the guard, yet also as if talking to himself.

"The admonition was real, and the desperate situation was real too."

But I did make a decision during these thirty-five days.

Su Ran is a promising talent.

He brought with him memories of his past life and an infinite space.

Su Ran deserves the most credit for the fact that the Great Xia Dynasty has been able to hold on until now.

However, as the leader of a nation with five thousand years of civilization, he would never gamble the survival of a civilization entirely on the experience and supernatural abilities of a "reborn person".

The butterfly flapped its wings, and the future had long since deviated from the path in Su Ran's memory.

The Great Xia must grasp the knife that belongs only to itself.

The leader opened the black file.

The homepage prominently displays six large, blood-red characters.

[Awakening Potion Program]

How is the "gene lock" cracking experiment at the Chinese Academy of Sciences progressing?

The leader stared intently at the rows of top-secret data on the file, his gaze terrifyingly deep.

The guard's Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he instinctively began to report.

"Report! Professor Wei reports that the first stage of human cell enhancement using the crystal core energy of high-level mutated beasts has been theoretically verified."

"But the rejection reaction is severe, and the mortality rate is as high as 99%."

"Keep going. Allocate unlimited resources."

The leader closed the file, his tone completely calm.

"Whether it's firearms or crystal cannons, no matter how many are built, they are ultimately external objects that need to be controlled by people!"

The next generation of the Great Xia must undergo a genetic leap.

Only by being more like a monster than a monster can one survive in a world of monsters.

……

Meanwhile, in North Africa, the S-11 defense line.

The cold yellow sand swept fiercely across the scorched animal defense wall.

The 113th Heavy Combined Armor Regiment of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force is stationed here.

Outside the animal defense wall, corpses were piled up like mountains.

"Pooh!"

Company Commander Zhao Qiang spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

His left arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and his right hand was tightly gripping the trigger of the crystal energy machine gun.

"laugh!"

The barrel glowed a dangerous dark red due to the extreme heat, and the last bit of coolant was completely depleted, emitting a piercing alarm.

"Company Commander! The 3rd Battalion's defense zone is about to collapse!"

The communications soldier shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was mostly drowned out by the deafening sound of artillery fire.

Zhao Qiang leaned half his body out and looked down from the city wall.

As far as the eye could see, the dark mass of beasts stretched as far as the eye could see.

The herd of beasts numbered only tens of thousands, but their garrison here numbered only a few thousand.

Third-tier mutated hyenas, mixed with massive third-tier mutated rhinos, were frantically climbing upwards, stepping on the corpses of their kind.

When a conventional armor-piercing projectile hits the bone plate of a Tier 3 rhinoceros, it only explodes into a ball of sparks.

"We have to hold on, even if we can't! The transit base is right behind us; if we retreat, our logistics line will collapse!"

Zhao Qiang's eyes were bloodshot, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.

"How much energy does the crystal cannon have left?"

"Less than 20% is left, Company Commander!"

"Push all the energy tanks up!"

Once those Tier 3 rhinos cross the first defensive wall, charge at them head-on and attack them!

Leave not a single one behind!

The soldiers gritted their teeth and pushed the last remaining crystal energy magazines into the gun barrel.

This is a stance ready for hand-to-hand combat.

Just then.

A cold, crisp male voice came through the communication channel.

"113th Regiment, this is the Special Operations Team, Su Ran."

"All personnel cease fire. Personnel in the main position shall retreat fifty meters."

"Provide heavy firepower to cover the flanks, leaving the front exposed."

Zhao Qiang was stunned for a moment.

Leave a gap?

Once the defense line is breached, what will we use to stop the tens of thousands of beasts that will surge in?

But this was Su Ran's order!

For the past two weeks, who on the entire North African front hasn't heard of this name?

"On command! Everyone retreat!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Qiang immediately issued the military order.

The soldiers quickly dragged the wounded back.

The fire netting on the front of the animal defense wall went silent instantly.

The beasts below surged wildly toward the breach in the main position.

Just then, high in the sky, the clouds were torn apart.

A transport plane flew low overhead, leaving a long contrail.

The belly bay was wide open.

No bombs were dropped.

What fell was a suffocating black shadow.

"boom!"

The dark shadow crashed heavily onto the scorched earth in front of the position. A giant hellhound, five meters tall at the shoulder and covered in dark composite armor, slowly straightened its body.

Its scarlet vertical pupils were fixed on the charging giant rhinoceros.

The terrifying pressure of the fourth-tier power instantly swept across the entire area.

Immediately afterwards, thirty more enormous black figures rushed out of the transport plane like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The white deer stood steadily on the broad back of the little gray deer.

His eyes, however, shone with a captivating silver light.

"kill."

Bai Lu's red lips parted slightly.

"roar!"

The thirty third-tier hellhounds let out a unified roar.

They charged headlong into the charging beast horde with the most savage force!

The sound of bones shattering echoed across the battlefield.

Before a third-tier mutated rhinoceros could even lower its head and reveal its horn, Little Grey smashed its skull with a single claw.

Brain matter mixed with blood splattered onto the metal armor.

The third-tier hellhounds following behind were like gears in a meat grinder, tearing and cutting wildly.

They don't care about defense at all; their alloy armor blocks most of the fatal wounds.

Even when their flesh is torn open, the mutated beasts' powerful vitality makes them feel no pain, only killing.

The Xia soldiers behind the protective wall were all stunned.

"This...this is the monster army that headquarters reported?"

Zhao Qiang swallowed hard; his palms were sweaty.

"It's the Warcraft army!"

That's too powerful! That's too violent!

Use the power of the monsters, combined with the technological armor of the Great Xia, to fight back against the monsters!

"It's the Demon Beast Legion! It's our Great Xia's Demon Beast Legion!"

Inside the defensive line, someone shouted, and the entire position erupted in cheers.

For the past month, Su Ran and Bai Lu have been leading this war beast force to frantically put out fires along the major defense lines in North Africa.

Wherever there are high-level mutated beasts, there will be this group of monsters clad in armor bearing the emblem of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The name "Warcraft Legion" was already well-known among the million-strong expeditionary force.

"That one... is the Queen of Beasts."

A young soldier muttered to himself, his eyes filled with awe and fanaticism.
