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

"I just want to live."

Karl spoke softly.

He didn't know how long this damned nuclear winter would last, or when humanity would be able to return to its former order.

But as a top-notch risk manager, he understands an absolute truth better than anyone else.

In the present day, the Great Xia Dynasty has no rivals on this broken blue planet.

He threw out that bait in the virtual meeting today not to unite Richard in rebellion, but to protect himself.

The implementation of mixed civilian and civilian populations in Daxia will inevitably provoke a backlash from foreign camps.

At that time, some fools who can't see the situation will jump out, and no matter what happens, everything will make sense.

"Knowing too much about many things can easily lead to an unexpected death..."

Carl recalled what he had said at the meeting, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He dared not investigate.

They dared not extend a single finger into the heart of the Great Xia.

But he wanted to know if the real Great Xia was a weak giant.

He threw his doubts to Richard, using Richard as a stepping stone to see how Great Xia would react!

"That muscle-bound idiot Richard will definitely be unable to resist investigating."

Karl gave a cold laugh.

As soon as Richard made a move, the Great Xia's executioner's blade immediately followed.

Even if no news is released, the heavy blow from Great Xia will be enough to convey the most deadly information to him invisibly.

"The mid-to-low-level awakened individuals in the Great Xia Dynasty definitely hold a secret that is enough to overturn everyone's understanding."

As the fire in the iron basin was completely extinguished, Karl crushed the last embers, his eyes gradually turning gloomy and cold.

"In this battle between monsters and humans, and humans and humans, only those who survive to the end can secure their place in the new world!"

……

Europa, the ruins of Paris.

Underground air-raid shelter.

"Bang!"

Richard punched the metal round table in front of him, creating a deep crater.

"That coward Karl! A lackey raised by Great Xia!"

He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage.

The virtual meeting ended badly, but the fire in his heart burned even brighter.

Daxia's mixed-use plan is like a noose hanging over our necks, tightening little by little.

"Thunder... Lord Thor."

The young hacker standing to the side swallowed hard.

"Should we continue trying to connect to other frequency bands?"

"Not even a fart!"

Richard waved his hand impatiently. "Although Carl is a spineless coward, he said something that reminded me of something."

There's a problem with the Awakened Headquarters of Great Xia.

Richard paced back and forth.

He recalled the scenes of these joint operations with the Great Xia army.

Something's definitely not right!

In the Great Xia army, fully armed ordinary soldiers made up the vast majority of the force.

The few Great Xia Awakeners who occasionally appeared were all high-ranking officers leading the teams.

Given the massive population of the Great Xia Dynasty, where did the largest army of "second-tier and first-tier awakened individuals" that should have been born go?

"Go and call Martin here."

Richard stopped and gave the order in a cold voice.

A few minutes later, a thin man with a sinister look walked into the server room.

He was Richard's intelligence chief and a top agent of the French government army before the catastrophe.

"Boss." Martin bowed slightly.

"Pick a few unfamiliar faces, not the awakened ones, just ordinary people."

"You need someone quick-witted, with a clean background, and who can keep their mouth shut."

Richard walked up to Martin and lowered his voice.

"Daxia's No. 03 supply base in Paris is currently recruiting civilian survivors to form mixed squads."

You let someone infiltrate."

Martin looked up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"What is the purpose?"

"Let's find out what's going on in Great Xia."

Richard's eyes hardened. "Let's see how many Awakened Ones are hiding in their camp."

It would be even better if we could get our hands on their material allocation list.

I need to know what tricks they're playing.

"clear."

Martin nodded, then turned and disappeared into the shadows.

Richard looked in the direction Martin had disappeared and sneered.

"If there really is a problem with the Awakened Headquarters of Great Xia..."

"If I can find a weakness in the Great Xia, I'll have a crucial bargaining chip."
