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

Meanwhile, in Paris, at Base 03.

The wind and snow raged fiercely.

One hundred Tier 3 Hellhounds were entrenched at the edge of Helipad 2.

They were covered in silver-gray active armor, and the energy cores on their chests emitted a ghostly blue light.

"Whoosh! Pfft!"

The four-meter-long behemoth exhaled white mist with each breath.

Dark red eyes scanned the surroundings.

On the watchtowers surrounding the base.

The foreign mercenaries gripped their guns tightly.

A few hours earlier, when this horde of monsters emerged from the Great Xia's strategic transport planes like a tidal wave, the entire foreign camp nearly erupted into chaos.

"Dude, don't point your gun at them."

A mercenary with a stubble-covered face pressed down on his companion's gun barrel, his voice trembling.

"That female war goddess from Great Xia isn't out there right now. If she angers these monsters, no one can control them!"

His companion released the trigger, his eyes involuntarily glancing in that direction.

"How did the Great Xia people manage to do that...?"

He stared at the hellhounds.

"That's a Tier 3 mutated beast! When did mutated beasts become so obedient?"

At that moment, a Daxia riot control armored vehicle was moving.

The heater was turned up to the maximum, shutting out the wind, snow, and cold outside the car.

Bai Lu, wearing a black trench coat, was leaning back in the passenger seat.

She took off her black leather gloves, revealing her fair and slender fingers.

"Buzz".

The tactical bracelet on Bai Lu's wrist vibrated violently.

She raised her hand.

A highest-level command from the Kunlun base popped up on the screen.

Sender: Li Guodong.

The following line of text reads:

【White Deer Girl, now that you're in Europe, don't just sit around. While you're at it, clear out those beast tide gathering areas I sent you. Also, lead a team to 'visit' those survivor camps within Europe, and show your face.】

Bai Lu stared at the long string of densely packed red dot coordinates on the screen, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, and rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Ran turned to look at him.

Bai Lu handed over the tactical wristband, and the screen displayed several newly added coordinate points.

"Director Li is too good at ordering people around."

She pouted and complained.

"I finally managed to escape from Professor Zhang Qian's stifling laboratory."

I was thinking of coming to see you for some fresh air, but he turned around and gave me a bunch of cleanup missions.

Su Ran took the bracelet and glanced at the coordinates on the screen.

"But it came at just the right time."

Su Ran leaned back in her chair.

"These areas where mutated beasts gather will become a buffet for the hellhounds outside."

Bai Lu turned her head and looked at him.

"Humans can't eat the flesh of the mutated beasts, but the hellhounds don't care."

Su Ran casually synced the coordinates to her terminal.

"Consider it an improvement to their diet."

Bai Lu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Before long, the two arrived at the base. Su Ran first settled Bai Lu in her rest area, then turned and walked through the snow towards the second basement level.

He arrived at the temporary conference room, where several experts from Daxia Heavy Industry were still checking the blueprints.

"Have you finished compiling the equipment lists for the Soma Industrial City and the stamping plant in Paris?"

Su Ran pulled out a chair and sat down.

The foreman, Engineer Chen, immediately came forward and brought over a stack of printing papers.

"Verification complete."

He pointed to the data above,

"The missing parts have been sent to China. Director Qian has replied that they can be delivered via strategic airdrop as early as the day after tomorrow."

Su Ran flipped through the list, her gaze lingering on several key heavy machine tools.

"Consultant Su, that's the rune motherboard of the stamping machine."

Engineer Chen adjusted his glasses and added,

"This involves core military secrets and requires secondary authorization from the Chinese Academy of Engineering; otherwise, the equipment cannot be turned on."

"Send the authorization request directly to Zhou Ming at the Kunlun Base, using the highest-level access channel."

Su Ran set the tone: "Prioritize the repair of the high-precision workshop. The equipment of foreign auxiliary military personnel is wearing out too quickly."

Once operations resume here, bullets and basic exoskeleton components can be produced on-site.

Engineer Chen replied, "Understood!"

"During the maintenance period, the outer defenses will be handed over to the stationed troops."

Su Ran stood up. "You just focus on the progress. Contact the command center directly if there are any problems."

The nameplate of Daxia Heavy Industry is now firmly attached here.

I have tasks to complete tomorrow; the follow-up work on the industrial park's recovery is now in your hands.

After explaining the details of the subsequent industrial restart, Su Ran bid farewell to the experts and returned to the lounge.

……

The next morning.

The wind, carrying snowflakes, swept across the ruins.

On runway number two at base 03, a jet-black Xuan Nu fighter jet completed its warm-up.

Su Ran and Bai Lu walked down the gangway into the cabin.

The hatch closed.

The fighter jet took off vertically, then adjusted its attitude and flew north at a fixed cruising speed.

on the ground.

One hundred Tier 3 Hellhounds clad in silver-gray bio-armor have assembled.

Bai Lu sat on the sofa in the cabin, spreading her mental energy.

The herd of beasts on the ground received the order.

"roar!"

The alpha dog reared its head and howled, then used all four limbs to propel itself across the snow-covered wasteland.

Su Ran notified all defense zones along the route in advance.

A dozen kilometers ahead, an armored patrol of the Great Xia was parked on the edge of the national highway.

The company commander stood on top of the armored vehicle, looking through binoculars at the snow and mist rising behind him.

"Attention everyone! Pull over to the side of the road, engines idling!"

The company commander shouted orders over the squad's communication channel.

"Make way for the special forces behind you. No firing or attacking actions are permitted."

A few minutes later.

One hundred hellhounds, each four meters long, roared past the armored convoy.

A foul wind, carrying snowflakes, swept towards us.

"Holy crap... is this our Warcraft army?"

A machine gunner inside the vehicle swallowed hard, watching the ferocious beast charging past outside.

"Are they the special forces mentioned above?"

At an altitude of 1,000 meters, the Xuan Nu fighter jet flew steadily.

The speed is consistent with the pack of hellhounds below.

Su Ran sat by the panoramic porthole, looking down at the army of monsters that stretched a long white line across the snowfield.

After the cataclysm, humanity unlocked the technology tree, creating crystal core exoskeleton armor, the Mystic Maiden fighter jet, and even tactical mechs.

But watching these tireless mutated creatures crushing through the wasteland, he became envious.

If given a choice, who wouldn't want such a powerful and easily controlled Warcraft army?

The cabin environment of the fighter jet is very comfortable.

Bai Lu took off her heavy winter coat and was only wearing a black turtleneck sweater.

She sat cross-legged on the large leather chair.

On the alloy table in front of me were more than a dozen bottles of different flavored drinks and several opened bags of potato chips.

She reached for a bottle of Coke, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and then grabbed a potato chip and popped it into her mouth.

I felt extremely relaxed.

Su Ran looked away and glanced at the countdown on the tactical terminal.

"We are expected to reach our first destination in about ten minutes."

Su Ran spoke up, "At Hill 094, thermal imaging shows that there are twenty-five Tier 3 mutated beasts entrenched there, as well as hundreds of Tier 2 mutated beasts."

After arriving…

"Once we arrive, we won't need any tactics; we'll just crush them."

Bai Lu picked up a can of chilled soda water and pulled the tab with one hand.

"Sizzle!"

Tiny bubbles surged out wildly.

Su Ran looked at Bai Lu, who was now in an extremely relaxed state.

"Just over twenty third-tier mutated beasts."

Bai Lu pointed downwards, her tone light and cheerful.

"This time I brought out a full one hundred fully armed Tier 3 Hellhounds."

Professor Zhang Qian also specially equipped them with bio-armor.

This is a complete dimensional reduction attack in terms of both hardware and quantity.

Su Ran nodded.

"Let's get this over with quickly and clear out these new gathering points that Lao Li sent us."

He also tapped the table to finalize the subsequent itinerary.

"After we finish off these monsters, we'll go and meet those restless, secretly colluding overseas Awakened Ones."
