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

"Need not!"

As the cold shout fell, Bai Lu took a step forward, his right hand making a loose fist.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Six specially crafted titanium alloy blades soared into the sky, transforming into six streaks of silver light.

"go."

There was no violent collision, and no sparks flew.

Only the purest cutting sound.

puff!puff!

It's like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The mutated rock rat's hard skull was as fragile as tofu in front of the flying blade.

In just three seconds.

The twenty-odd mutated rock rats at the forefront died instantly, and the herd behind them visibly slowed down.

"So strong."

Jinlong, holding the camera, swallowed hard, his eyes filled with horror.

"Is this the power of an Awakened One?"

There were no bullets, no smoke of gunfire.

In just one encounter, more than twenty mutated beasts that could withstand several rifle bullets were smashed to pieces on the ground.

This is not a fight at all.

This is a massacre! It's a one-man barrage!

"Don't get distracted, point the camera at me later."

Su Ran's voice rang out at the right moment, "The real big guy is about to come out."

Boom!

With a deafening roar as rocks shattered, a ferocious creature over five meters long, with black bone spurs covering its back, burst out of the mine!

Second-order alienated ape!

Its two giant, scarlet eyes were fixed on the human in front of it, and two visible streams of white vapor spewed from its nostrils.

"roar!!!"

The mutated ape roared to the sky, letting out a deafening roar.

"Fire! All hands on deck! Halt its advance!!"

"Da da da da da!"

Flames spewed out.

However, the specially made tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile, which was powerful enough to tear a hole in a light armored vehicle, only sparked a series of sparks when it hit that grayish-white keratin layer!

This monster's defense is ridiculously high!

"How is this possible?! This is a tungsten-core bomb!"

Jinlong's hands, which were holding the camera, trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

But they remained steadfast in their mission, without taking a single step back.

The camera was always pointed at Su Ran.

Su Ran hasn't moved yet.

The dense hail of bullets clearly enraged the ape. Ignoring the bullets that were merely tickling it, it stomped its hind legs against the ground.

"collapse!"

Using this terrifying recoil force, it rushed straight towards Su Ran, who was at the very front of the group!

"Su Ran, watch out!"

Bai Lu's expression changed drastically, and her mental power erupted instantly.

Six titanium alloy blades spun rapidly in front of her, forming a silver shield wall, and she was about to rush up to intercept them.

"Need not."

Su Ran's voice suddenly rang out.

He didn't retreat a single step, but simply extended his right hand, his palm aimed at the frenzied charging ape.

Just as the ape's claws were less than three meters away from Su Ran, and its foul breath was already spraying onto his face.

Su Ran gently clenched her fist.

"Space, folding."

hum!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling light effects.

There was only one extremely strange and unsettling sense of "dislocation".

To everyone's horror, the space around the mutated ape distorted instantly, like a piece of scrap paper being crumpled up.

The apes, which had been charging straight ahead, seemed to have crashed into an invisible glass wall.

Followed by.

Click! Click! Click!

The sickening sound of bones cracking rang out in rapid succession, like popping beans.

The space around that five-meter-tall behemoth began to collapse and compress inward, like origami.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding "crack, crack" sound of bones dislocating.

The ape let out a piercing scream, and its limbs began to bend inward at an angle contrary to its physiological structure.

It wasn't interrupted by an external force, but rather the space itself was shrinking, forcing its physical form to adapt to this narrow dimension.

Its spine was compressed into a full arch, its head was forcibly pressed against its chest, and its thick tail was pressed tightly against its abdomen.

"Roar...woo...crack..."

Su Ran slowly clenched her fist.

"Give it to me, fold it!"

With each tightening of the grip, the ape's size shrank.

Pfft!

That was the sound of blood vessels bursting, black blood gushing out from the pores.

Five meters... three meters... two meters...

finally.

That ferocious second-tier mutated beast was forcibly folded into an irregular ball of flesh with sides less than one meter long.

Only a hideous head was visible, its mouth wide open.

It is still alive, but it is no longer a living being.

The entire room fell silent.

Clang.

Su Ran tossed a specially made titanium alloy cage out of his spatial storage, turned his head, and looked at the white deer that had already turned to stone.

"White Deer, put it in."

"Ah? Oh! Okay, okay!"

The white deer came to its senses and used its telekinetic power to lift the "ape-like flesh ball" into the cage.

Click.

The cage door was locked.

Su Ran then loosened her fist, releasing the spatial compression.

"Bang!"

The moment they were freed from their restraints, the mutated apes sprang back to their original shape and filled the entire cage.

But it's completely useless now.

With its entire skeleton shattered and crumpled, even though it was a second-tier creature with vigorous vitality, it could only lie paralyzed in the cage like a lump of mud.

Jinlong, holding the camera, was already stunned; his worldview had been destroyed and reshaped in that one minute.

Is this what Consultant Su's capabilities are like?

Is this what they're trying to protect?

Who's protecting whom here?!

Su Ran clapped his hands and looked at the group of soldiers behind him who were still in shooting positions but had long since frozen in place.

"What are you standing there for?"

He pointed to the specially made alloy cage behind him, raised an eyebrow at Jinlong, and asked, "Captain Jin, did the camera capture that?"

Jinlong suddenly shuddered and quickly said, "We got it! One take, all in HD."

"That's good."

Su Ran nodded in satisfaction, her tone still steady and firm, "Put them in cages and take them away. Remember, these are live subjects that Professor Zhang needs, don't kill them."

"yes!"

Jinlong suddenly straightened his back and roared, "Quick! Everyone move! Push the cage over here!"

The team members then seemed to snap out of their daze and hurriedly pushed the cage forward.

A few minutes later, the heavy transport plane took off again.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere had completely changed.

When they arrived, the soldiers' respect for Su Ran was based on their professional duties.

So now, that is reverence for the gods.

In this chaotic apocalypse, the strong are worshipped as totems, no matter where they are.

Captain Jinlong would occasionally steal glances at Su Ran, who was resting with her eyes closed. His initial respect had turned into a fanatical and awe-inspiring feeling, as if he were looking at a god.

With such a powerful figure presiding over Great Xia.

This damn apocalypse doesn't seem so scary after all.

Su Ran leaned back in her seat, feeling the mental energy that had been almost completely drained from her body, and secretly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"If you want to be a saint in front of others, you have to suffer in private."

He smiled bitterly to himself. Although the "Spatial Folding" move had a stunning visual effect, its energy consumption was also terrifyingly high.

He maintained control over the space entirely through sheer mental strength.

If he hadn't been reborn and his mental strength hadn't increased dramatically, this would have drained him dry.

However, looking at the soldiers around him and the adoring gaze of Bai Lu, Su Ran felt that this deal was very worthwhile.

Establishing authority, perfectly accomplished.

"Professor Zhang Qian's research requires at least three different types of mutated organisms."

Su Ran opened her eyes, a fleeting look of weariness in them, and asked, "Where to next?"

The co-pilot's expression brightened, and he reported loudly:

"Reporting to Advisor Su, next coordinates: northern foothills of the Qilian Mountains, codename 'C-11', urban farm."

……

Central Theater Command, National Highway G205.

The 3rd Heavy Armored Brigade, the ace of the Great Xia Army.

One hundred and twenty Type 99A main battle tanks deployed in an attack formation, their tracks relentlessly crushing abandoned vehicles on the road.

Behind them, hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery followed closely, kicking up clouds of dust as they advanced at full speed toward the designated assembly point.

An atmosphere of grimness permeated the air.

Inside the command vehicle.

Major General Zhang Guomeng, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, scribbled a rough stroke on the electronic map with his large, calloused hand.

How much further?

"Reporting, Commander! We are still 400 kilometers from the designated rendezvous point!"

The chief of staff stared at the screen, speaking rapidly, "At the current pace of advance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to act as a sharp blade, cooperating with the main force to complete the encirclement before sunset tomorrow!"

"good!"

Zhang Guomeng's eyes flashed with fanatical fighting spirit. "These mutant scum are nothing but farts in front of a heavily armored formation, except for their large numbers!"

"Pass down the order: maintain full speed! Anyone who falls behind, I'll kill him!"

"yes!"

Just then, a sudden, sharp braking sound came from the lead car of the convoy.

Over the radio channel, the reconnaissance battalion commander's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"Commander! The road conditions ahead are not good!"

"What's going on? Have we encountered a horde of zombies?"

Zhang Guomeng frowned. "How large is it?"

"It's not a horde of zombies! It's...it's mushrooms!"
