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

At the entrance to the Hamburg camp, the wind whipped up ice shards that pelted the ground.

The Great Xia Command Area was located within the inner circle of the camp, and had a separate office building.

Since the global promulgation of the "Law on Lifting the Ban on Hunting," the supervising forces dispatched by Great Xia to various major camps have gradually taken over actual control of the armories in these foreign camps.

The Great Xia Dynasty didn't hesitate to provide equipment and weapons.

But how and where to use it, Da Xia needs to check the accounts.

Supervising officer Li Tie sat at his desk, flipping through the inventory list in his hand.

A series of hurried, chaotic footsteps came from the corridor outside.

The door was pushed open.

Richard's white second-in-command walked in, his head still covered in snow.

"Officer Li."

The deputy walked to the desk and handed over a thick application form.

"We need to pick up the goods. All the tactical equipment in warehouses one through three, and all the Tier 2 crystal core ammunition."

Li Tie did not accept that order.

He looked up and glanced at his deputy.

"Extract everything? What are you trying to do?"

Li Tie closed the list and tapped his finger twice on the table.

"Warehouses number one to three contain five thousand sets of crystal core exoskeletons and one hundred thousand crystal energy armor-piercing bullets."

"Your Hamburg camp only has about six thousand combat personnel. Are you planning to relocate your military equipment?"

The deputy swallowed hard, avoiding Li Tie's gaze.

"The leader has issued tactical orders."

The deputy's voice was dry.

"We must launch a full-scale attack. Several new high-risk mutated beast colonies have appeared around the camp."

Leader Richard will personally lead the team, taking all the Awakened and the main force from the camp, out to wipe them out.

Li Tie stopped moving.

He looked his deputy up and down.

A full-scale attack?

How to eradicate wild animal populations?

Li Tie and Richard have been dealing with each other for quite some time.

After a few months, he had figured out exactly what kind of person this foreigner was.

This person is someone who won't do anything without a profit; when eating meat, he'll practically lick the plate clean, but when he sees danger, he'll run faster than a rabbit.

A week ago, Da Xia sent me the coordinates of these high-risk mutant communities.

Richard then applied to Great Xia for crystal energy heavy artillery and for high-level armor support.

The weapons haven't arrived yet, and this old bastard's changed his ways?

Are they going to risk their own resources to fight a direct battle?

Li Tie stood up, grabbed the winter coat hanging on the back of the chair, and put it on.

"lead the way."

He patted the pistol at his waist. "I'm going to see your leader in person."

The deputy didn't dare to stop him and led the way with his head down.

……

An underground air-raid shelter, Richard's operations room.

Li Tie pushed open the door and went inside.

The operations room was filled with smoke and fumes.

The floor was covered with torn papers and smashed computers.

"Your Excellency Richard."

Li Tie walked over and stopped opposite the tactical table. "I heard you're going to empty the armory?"

Richard looked up.

After a few days apart, this third-tier awakened individual's cheeks had sunken, and his gaze towards people revealed a manic intensity.

"The delivery order has been sent."

Richard's voice was hoarse. "Give me the equipment, and I'll take my men and set off immediately."

Li Tie did not comment.

"I need a reasonable explanation."

He looked at Richard and said, "You just submitted a report last week saying that without the heavy firepower of Great Xia, your camp couldn't deal with those Tier 3 mutated beasts."

The aid supplies from Daxia have not yet been dispatched.

Are you going to empty your savings and work yourself to the bone now?

What's wrong with you?

Upon hearing this, Richard's chest heaved violently.

He stared intently at Li Tie's businesslike face.

Fear, anxiety, and frustration all exploded at this moment.

"An explanation? What explanation am I supposed to give you!"

Richard's breathing became heavier.

"I said I'm going to wipe out the mutated beasts!"

He raised his voice, spitting everywhere.

"Clear out those damn monsters! Can't you understand human language?"

Li Tie frowned.

"It's clearly written in the Great Xia's regulations!"

Richard slammed his hands on the table, his knuckles making a loud thud.

"The Great Xia gave advance notice of dangerous targets, and we auxiliary troops have an obligation to cooperate in the clearing and suppression!"

I am carrying out tactical orders issued by the Great Xia!

That sounds very high-sounding.

Li Tie looked at his agitated state and didn't respond.

Richard grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, and he walked around half the table to confront Li Tie.

"Weren't you guys urging me to go and wipe out the beast herds every day in this sweltering heat?"

Richard's eyes bulged, and his face turned bright red.

"I sent the coordinates last week! I sent a follow-up letter yesterday! Now I'm going!"

I'm taking everyone in the camp to fight!

So you're going to hold onto the weapon and not fire it, huh?

He pointed his finger at Li Tie's nose and bit back.

"Or are you, Li Tie, trying to disobey orders?"

Richard roared, panting heavily.

"The Great Xia headquarters has ordered the elimination of those beast hordes."

You're blocking my equipment now, is it because you want to keep that mutated beast horde?

Do you want to see those monsters storm into the camp and eat us all?

The operations room was deathly silent.

The dozens of foreign military officers didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

They had never seen Richard speak to the Great Xia's war inspector in such an attitude.

Li Tie's gaze was as cold as a knife.

Sending troops out of the city to carry out the cleanup is a good thing.

Although we don't know what's wrong with Richard, if he's willing to do it, Great Xia has no reason to stop him.

"Weapons can be issued."

Li Tie looked away and reached out to press his fingerprint on his personal terminal to authorize the device.

"Beep! Armory access has been unlocked!"

Synthesized electronic sounds echoed in the operations room.

"Since you are so eager to respond to the call of Great Xia."

Li Tie turned and walked towards the door. Before stepping out, he paused slightly and turned his head to the side.

"Then I wish you good luck."

Richard gripped the edge of the table tightly, his voice heavy, until Li Tie's footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Go get your gear... let's set off immediately."
