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

Kunlun Underground Base.

Inside the command center, the progress of the disaster was displayed on a large holographic screen.

Zhou Rui stood in front of the command console, watching the signal lights in the encrypted channel go out one after another.

All the sharpest weapons are in place.

The web of conflict in the European region is finally closing.

He picked up the tablet on the table, turned around, and strode quickly down the straight corridor toward the director's office.

Push open the heavy, soundproof door.

Li Guodong was sitting behind that large desk.

He wasn't wearing a military uniform, but rather an old military overcoat, and was staring at a European military map on the wall.

"Chief."

Zhou Rui walked to the table and placed the tablet down neatly.

Li Guodong looked away, blew on the steam rising from the cup, and took a sip of goji berry tea.

"Is the action plan ready?" Li Guodong asked.

"That's right."

Zhou Rui stood ramrod straight. "Team Leader Ye, Team Leader Chen, everyone take your positions."

Advisor Su also gave clear instructions: eliminate them according to the list, without making excuses, and take immediate action.

Li Guodong nodded but didn't reply.

Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak up.

"Director, I have some concerns."

He considered his words for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"The list of people on this operation includes more than a dozen people, all of whom are leaders of foreign camps."

These camps, large and small, each hold tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of survivors.

Advisor Su and his team acted as the spearhead, each of them parachuting in alone and killing the leader.

That was done quickly.

However, cleaning up the mess will be a huge problem.

After listening, Li Guodong put his teacup on the table.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhou Rui.

"Xiao Zhou, you need to be more flexible in your thinking."

Li Guodong picked up a pen from the table and twirled it in his hand twice.

Zhou Rui looked at him, waiting for instructions.

"Xiao Su and his men didn't really need any reason to quell the rebellion."

Li Guodong tapped the table with the tip of his pen.

"They are the sharpest blades; all they need to do is strike the ringleaders and keep their blades sharp."

The cleanup is our job.

He stood up and walked to the map.

"Daxia Flower has so many resources to support those foreign camps, not to let them act like lords."

Li Guodong then pointed to the location of the Hamburg camp on the map.

"You need to see clearly the power logic of the end times."

How do these camp leaders maintain their rule?

They relied on the crystal energy weapons distributed by the Great Xia and the survival supplies provided by the Great Xia.

They themselves have no production capacity.

The dealers are the only ones dealing the cards; they are merely chips on the table.

If the chips don't want to obey, then just change to a different batch.

There's not much else on Earth, but plenty of survivors who want to live.

"Once Xiao Su and his team have taken care of the people on the list, immediately cut off all external communications to these dozen or so camps."

Li Guodong issued the order, "By bypassing the camp's command system, contact the Great Xia commander stationed inside."

Zhou Rui was startled and immediately took out his notebook to start taking notes.

"Let the supervising officers take full control of the defense."

Li Guodong continued.

"Tell the supervising officer that after the swift and decisive action, appropriate appeasement work should follow."

He addressed the mercenaries and survivors below directly.

Richard and his gang, who had embezzled supplies allocated by the Great Xia, have already been executed by the Great Xia.

If we bring in someone who can understand the situation, we can continue to provide the Great Xia with its crystal energy weapons, food, and the points system as before!

Anyone who dares to resist will have their weapons and food cut off.

Zhou Rui put down his pen.

"People need to eat. Especially in this post-apocalyptic world where people can't even get enough to eat."

Li Guodong's tone was very relaxed.

"They will listen to whoever provides them with shelter and weapons to fight monsters."

The death of a few high-ranking leaders is of no consequence to the ordinary people below who live hand to mouth.

During this period, our supervising officers suffered a lot of mistreatment from these foreign leaders.

These people are two-faced; trying to reason with them is completely useless.

At this point, his tone became completely relaxed, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Now that's good, we can just put a knife to their necks."

I want to see just how many reckless troublemakers will still be around after this purge is over.

Zhou Rui closed his notebook and stood up.

"Understood. I'll go and draft the action plan for the supervising officer right away."

What about the other camps that weren't on the list?

"Issue a notice."

Li Guodong waved his hand.

"Take Camp Hamburg as an example. Announce it to the entire internet."

Tell them this is the consequence of colluding privately, embezzling resources, and resisting orders.

"Make an example of someone to scare others; make the whole show of it."

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!" Zhou Rui pushed open the door and left.

Our gaze shifts to Su Ran.

The Xuan Nu fighter jet hovered smoothly below the clouds.

Inside the cabin.

Su Ran raised her wrist and glanced at the mechanical watch.

The other groups have all reached the designated airspace.

Ye Xiao, Long Jiang, Zhao Tian.

Everyone was waiting for his first shot.

"White Deer," Su Ran said.

"Um?"

"It's almost time."

Su Ran lowered her wrist, her gaze sweeping over the holographic map on the center console.

"The Hamburg camp is just ahead, 150 kilometers away."

Bai Lu snorted coldly, her fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of hair.

"Richard is probably shivering in a bomb shelter right now."

"The mindset of the elites of the old era. They always felt that anything could be negotiated if they had leverage. But Great Xia doesn't lack their leverage."

Su Ran stood up, grabbed the black combat coat from the back of the chair, and draped it over her shoulders.

"Let's go. Go knock on the door."

One hundred third-tier magical beasts moved.

The herd of beasts formed a dense charging formation and surged forward across the snowfield.

The Xuan Nu fighter jet's engine was running, following diagonally above the horde of beasts.

The snow along the way was turned up, revealing the dark brown permafrost underneath.

……

Hamburg Camp.

A snowstorm raged.

At the outermost edge of the camp, there is a defensive line built between two abandoned buildings.

There were at least a hundred foreign mercenaries on duty here, but the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

In a sheltered corner, a dozen mercenaries huddled beside a burning oil drum, rubbing their hands and cursing under their breath.

"Turn the fire down! Do you fucking want to die? Don't attract those mutated beasts that roam at night!"

A stubble-faced mercenary slapped away his companion's hand, which was trying to add more flammable material, and looked warily at the dark snowfield outside.

"The leader has gone mad."

The people nearby ignored it and threw another broken plank into the fire, complaining.

"Move all the heavy firepower out of the camp and fight the monster to the death."

They returned with more than half their men dead or wounded.

Now, to our dismay, we don't even have a decent heavy weapon on this outermost defensive line!

"Say less, let's get through today first."

Another red-haired mercenary rubbed his hands together, stretching his frozen body.

"Right now, all we have are these scrap metal pieces and a Tier 1 crystal energy rifle."

"If a few second-tier mutated beasts were to sneak up on us now, we'd be dead!"

"Buzz...buzz..."

Just then, the red-haired mercenary suddenly paused.

The discarded tin bucket next to him began to vibrate slightly.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" someone asked, looking up in confusion.
