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

Three executions were carried out, striking everyone in the face.

Everyone subconsciously tensed their muscles, even their breathing became cautious.

Chen Wu raised his wrist and turned on the holographic projection.

A 3D topographic map of the nearby neighborhood appears, with a model of the prey flashing at the center of the coordinates.

"Target: Tier 3 Mutant Shadow Leopard."

"Action Area: Thirty kilometers outside the defense line, the ruins of the former Strasbourg."

Martin stared at the projection, quickly recording the data.

Features: Extremely fast speed, with built-in optical camouflage, allowing it to blend into the environment in a short time.

Chen Wu traced the projection with his finger, zooming in on the shadow leopard's abdomen.

"The weakness is here: the soft armor on the jaw and abdomen."

But even if you hit a weak point with your Tier 2 rifles, it would take at least three precise shots at the same spot to penetrate it.

A few soft gasps of surprise came from the group.

"So, your mission is not to kill."

Chen Wu turned off the projector and patted the heavy crystal energy sniper rifle on his back.

"Your mission is to act as bait and a barrage of fire."

Upon arrival at the designated location, disperse into formation.

Once the Shadow Leopard appears, use your firepower to pin it down and restrict its movement.

"Force it to stop, or force it to show itself."

The rest, I'll handle.

Chen Wu's tactics were simple and brutal.

The crowd creates space, giving the main force an opportunity to strike decisively.

"Sir."

A tall white man swallowed hard and raised his hand.

"So... what about the specific battle plan and movement?"

"The Shadow Leopard won't stay in one place like a live target. The specific plan will be formulated on the spot after we arrive at the destination, based on the surrounding terrain and wind direction."

Chen Wu spoke indifferently.

"Sir,"

One of the mercenaries standing at the back spoke up.

"That thing is so fast, what if it targets one of us?"

"Then good luck to you."

Chen Wu gave him a cold look.

"I've said it before, the second rule in my team is: don't blame me if you die!"

"Once you're in close combat, running away won't help. The high-explosive grenades that Da Xia lent you can come in handy now."

Pull the fuse and try to take it down with you.

If you manage to damage it, you'll have done a great service!

There will be additional compensation at that time, and Da Xia will give it all to your family in full.

The air froze instantly upon hearing this.

No one asked any more questions.

"Since everything is fine, let's board!"

Chen Wu turned around and strode toward the heavily armed helicopter parked to the side.

The cabin door opened wide, the propellers began to spin, swirling up the snow on the ground.

Seven foreign survivors immediately grabbed their guns and followed.

Martin walked in the middle of the group.

He watched Chen Wu's retreating figure, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

There is one more crucial question that no one has raised yet.

"Sir, wait a moment."

Martin stopped and, braving the wind and snow, spoke loudly.

He met the cold, stern gaze of the Great Xia officer and, steeling himself, asked,

"If we survive this trip, how will we be paid?"

The rules didn't specify how the shares would be divided.

The veterans walking ahead stopped and turned around.

Several gazes fell on Martin, their eyes filled with strange expressions.

The bearded veteran grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth, and smiled silently without saying a word.

Chen Wu turned around and stood on the helicopter's footboard, looking down at the helicopter.

His gaze, slightly hesitant, swept over Martin from top to bottom.

"You're new. Remember that, I'll only say it once."

Chen Wu's voice was cold and hard.

"You seven peripheral players, plus me as the main attacker, make a total of eight people in the team."

If this Tier 3 mutated beast is successfully hunted, the reward will be divided into nine parts.

He held up two fingers wearing tactical gloves.

"I'll take two portions. The remaining seven portions, one for each of you."

Chen Wu lowered his hand and his gaze swept over everyone again.

"Once you've collected enough for a complete Tier 3 crystal core, you can go to the Great Xia Points Exchange Center to exchange it for Great Xia citizenship."

Alternatively, they could exchange them for equivalent high-level cold-weather clothing, food, and even more advanced weapons.

"It's up to you."
