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

"That coward Karl doesn't dare to investigate the Great Xia's secrets, so I will."

Richard tapped his thigh with his fingers, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

"As long as Martin's people obtain the true data on the troop deployment of the Great Xia camp and find out the details of the mid-level awakened army within Great Xia..."

"As long as I have this leverage, I'll have bargaining chips to negotiate with the Great Xia headquarters!"

……

The gaze shifts from the dark European air-raid shelters back to Great Xia.

Kunlun Base, Command Center of the Awakened Ones.

Footsteps, electronic dial tone from communicators, and tactical commands mingled together.

Compared to yesterday, there were many more unfamiliar faces in the hall.

"Advisor Su."

Zhou Rui strode closer, carrying a tactical tablet.

"Director Li has transferred another hundred people to us."

They are all elite personnel drawn from the national security reserve, specifically responsible for liaising with overseas currency exchange networks for review and defense coordination.

"Old Li is quick on his feet."

Su Ran stood in front of the sand table, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings.

"We have enough manpower. What's the current situation regarding ordinary survivors overseas?"

Zhou Rui quickly swiped his finger across the tablet, pushing a set of real-time data to the main screen.

"Seventy-two hours after the mobilization order was issued."

"The number of registered civilian militias and bounty hunters at exchange points across thirteen major regions worldwide has exceeded 1.2 million!"

On the screen, the blue dot representing the Great Xia outpost was surrounded by densely packed green stardust.

"In summary, after the Great Xia's mobilization order was issued, a million more frontline soldiers were added to the front lines!"

He took a deep breath and pulled up several aerial images captured by the drone.

One million people.

Armed with Tier 1 and Tier 2 crystal energy rifles, they went to fight Tier 3 mutated beasts to the death.

Su Ran stared at the bloody scene on the screen, her eyes completely unmoved.

It's cruel to bind all the survivors from overseas to the Great Xia's war chariot.

But this planet has been driven to the brink of collapse by mutated creatures.

There is no perfect solution in the end times.

The Great Xia Dynasty needs time, and humanity needs time.

"Keep a close eye on the exchange points. As long as the crystal cores are verified, the supplies must not be withheld."

Su Ran tapped her fingers on the table, changing the subject.

"Where has the dismantling and reorganization of the low-level Awakened team progressed?"

This is the core method Su Ran used to control the whole situation and target the foreign awakened ruling class.

Mo Yun, who had been following the battle reports, looked up and took over Zhou Rui's introduction.

"I'll report on this."

He took over the main screen and brought up several documents.

"Brother Su, the mixed-unit strategy is being implemented quite well overseas. It's been promoted very quickly, especially in small and medium-sized survivor camps."

Mo Yun pointed to the team formation diagrams on the screen.

"Those small camps without third-tier experts in charge were extremely cooperative."

Veteran soldiers with military skills wear individual exoskeletons and cooperate with lower-level awakened individuals to carry out tactical infiltration.

Real-world data shows that this system directly revitalized the combat capabilities at the grassroots level.

"What about those top teams?" Su Ran asked.

"Richard and Alexander's core teams have been cleared after multiple rounds of combat capability assessments by headquarters."

Mo Yun flipped through the documents and spoke in a deep voice.

"These high-level teams have now been put into unified archiving and management."

The tasks assigned to them were all tough nuts to crack.

Su Ran nodded.

The Great Xia's sword does not yet need to be personally used to strike foreign leaders.

As long as they are still killing monsters on the front lines, they have value.

"Brother Su, we've stabilized the strategic situation now."

After reporting the progress, Mo Yun's face visibly darkened, and his voice became dry.

"But... Director Qian just came to the operations room looking for you, ready to start yelling at you."
