Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

Even the apocalypse could not diminish the radiance of her nobility and near-perfect demeanor.

Just at this moment.

Emma Grace's delicate, well-defined face was now replaced by a solemn expression, replacing her usual haughtiness and aloofness.

As one of the designated successors of the Thor Corporation, this covert operation is of paramount importance to her.

She needs to secretly bring back this research team that possesses some kind of groundbreaking technology, especially the core researcher, to solidify her position in the company amidst the turmoil following her father's unexpected death during the apocalypse.

But who could have imagined!

Their travel itinerary was leaked, and not only were they unable to return safely, they were also forced step by step into this damned MacArthur Park, where they found themselves in a dangerous situation besieged by monsters.

Emma was almost certain that this was a trap set by those old guys in the company who coveted her position.

"Miss! We can't hold on any longer! Left wing vehicle number three is destroyed, and the researchers in Group B... I'm afraid we won't be able to save them!"

The communicator crackled with the roar of Captain Carson, amidst the deafening sounds of gunfire and explosions.

"We must break out immediately! If we hesitate any longer, we'll all be dragged down here and die!"

On the screen, the dots representing our own units are decreasing rapidly, and the damage to the surrounding vehicles is appalling.

"We have no choice but to abandon the research team! Their truck is lost! We must get you out of here!"

give up?

Emma Grace bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Once she abandons the team and research data, what will she use to fight those old foxes?

This research team, especially the core researcher, is her only bargaining chip to stabilize the situation and fight back against those old guys!

If she loses her, her situation at Thor will worsen, and in the apocalypse, her best outcome will be to become a slave.

But the current situation seems to have truly reached a dead end.

Is it really the only option to abandon everything and flee in a sorry state with only the remaining research data?

Just as a wave of despair washed over Emma, ​​and she was about to grit her teeth and give the order to retreat—

Rumble!

A violent engine roar, accompanied by the furious howl of a heavy machine gun, exploded from the flank like thunder!

Immediately following were a series of even more violent explosions and the agonizing screams of the mutants!

Orange-red flames, blinding white light, and corrosive green liquid raged through the mutated horde, instantly clearing out a large area!

"Miss! Unidentified armed forces have intervened! Their firepower is extremely heavy! They've torn an opening in the flank! They're quickly clearing out the remaining soldiers!"

Captain Carson's voice rang out again, filled with unbelievable surprise and excitement.

Emma looked up sharply and, through the sturdy observation window of the command vehicle and the external camera, clearly saw the Humvee that charged into the battlefield like a black beast.

And the figure frantically firing from the roof of the car, and two other people leaning out of the car window, constantly firing special ammunition.

What shocked her even more was that an incredibly fast figure rushed out of the Hummer, wielding a strangely shaped black longsword. It easily tore apart several mutants blocking its path as if slicing through tofu, and charged straight towards the center of the battlefield!

The figure wielded a long sword, moving with lightning speed. Each strike took the lives of several mutants.

His movements were clean and efficient, full of destructive power, as if he were strolling leisurely through the monster horde, leaving behind a trail of debris in his wake.

So strong!

This is definitely not an ordinary person!

Emma Grace's icy blue eyes lit up instantly, bursting with amazing brilliance.

Who is this person?

Are they employees of other major corporations? Or are they a secret weapon hidden by the authorities?

Whoever they are, their appearance undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to the situation that was on the verge of collapse!

"Notify everyone!"

"Move towards that Humvee! Break through the gap they created!"

Emma quickly suppressed her surprise and doubt and decisively gave the order.

"Try to contact them! Identify ourselves and request their cooperation! We will break through the gap they created!"

"Yes!"

The communications officer immediately began making calls.

However, to their surprise, neither the Hummer nor the mysterious man with the knife seemed to respond to their communications.

What puzzled and even annoyed her even more was that after clearing an area, the man did not continue to expand the breakthrough. Instead, he turned around and rushed straight towards the leader-level monster that had caused them so much damage!

"Oh my god?! What is he trying to do, take on that monster one-on-one?! Is he crazy?!"

Carson gasped in shock.

Emma Grace also frowned, her eyes filled with doubt.

How could one person challenge that enormous monster, which even their heavy firepower could hardly inflict a fatal wound on?

Emma's heart leaped into her throat. She and all the armed personnel from Raytheon Corporation turned their gaze toward the center of the battlefield.

Through the images transmitted by the high-powered camera, Emma could clearly see the battle that was about to begin.

Su Hui's figure moved so fast it was almost a blur, nimbly dodging the terrifying monster's clumsy yet powerful slaps and tentacle sweeps.

The long sword in his hand flashed with visible cold light, each slash landing precisely on the monster, severing its flailing tentacles.

The enormous monster named [Rotten One Agam] was clearly enraged, letting out a deafening roar. More tentacles emerged from the lake, lashing at Su Hui like a horde of demons, smashing the ice and frozen soil on the shore to pieces.

But Su Hui's figure was like a reef in a stormy sea. No matter how frantically the monster attacked, he could always dodge the fatal blow at the last second and constantly look for opportunities to counterattack.

His strength was equally astonishing. Occasionally, when he blocked a monster's heavy blow, his body would only sink slightly, but the long sword in his hand could leave even larger wounds on the monster, bringing up large pieces of rotten flesh and foul-smelling liquid.

Strength, speed, skill... everything this man displayed far exceeded Emma Grace's understanding of human limits.

The battle lasted less than three minutes, but it was incredibly thrilling.

Su Hui seized upon a flaw.

In the brief moment of paralysis after Agam sprayed a deadly poison, a flash of blue light disappeared from his eyes!

Su Hui suddenly lunged forward, his speed soaring to its limit, almost turning into a blurry black shadow!

[Soul Severing Strike]!

A deep, azure flame suddenly ignited on the blade of the steel-slaying longsword!

The flames seemed to freeze the soul, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine!

Pfft—!

The longsword, imbued with the flames of the soul, pierced with unparalleled force into the depths of Agam's massive body—a core area constantly writhing and radiating dimensional energy!

"Roar--!!!"

The Lord of the Filthy Swamp let out an extremely mournful howl, his massive body suddenly stiffened, and then began to tremble violently.

The azure flames seemed to possess a life of their own, rapidly spreading along the wound to its entire body, igniting its soul. A terrifying burst of energy instantly annihilated its massive soul core!

Boom!!!

Agam's massive body trembled violently, its deformed tumors and tentacles twitching wildly before losing all strength and collapsing with a crash, splattering ice shards and filthy blood everywhere!

It has completely lost its vitality.

The entire battlefield,

A brief silence fell over the scene because of this shocking moment.

All of Raytheon's armed personnel, including Emma Grace in the command vehicle.

Her bright red lips parted slightly, and her icy blue eyes were filled with unbelievable shock and an indescribable glint as she stared intently at the figure standing proudly beside the monster's corpse, knife in hand.

too strong!

It was absolutely devastating!

That was a powerful mutated monster that even their entire squad couldn't kill!

The opponent was just one person with a knife, yet he killed him so cleanly and efficiently!

After a brief silence.

With the monster leader killed, the remaining mutants seemed to have lost their leader and began to fall into chaos and collapse.

Su Hui shook off the sticky black blood from the [Steel-Cutting] blade, the edge still gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light.

Meanwhile, Harley, Tina, and Mary in the Hummer took the opportunity to increase their firepower, working with the Raytheon Corporation's armed personnel who had reacted quickly to wipe out the remaining monsters.

The battle ended faster than expected.

With their expertise in various types of special ammunition, the three women demonstrated combat skills and lethality that even surpassed those of the well-trained private armed personnel from Raytheon Corporation!

"Miss...this man is very strong."

Carson approached Emma, ​​his voice tinged with awe and uncertainty.

"He is most likely a 'mutant' who gained power during the disaster, but... he doesn't seem as crazy as the mutants described in the intelligence, and he doesn't have any obvious deformed features."

Emma Grace remained outwardly calm, merely nodding slightly, but inwardly she was experiencing a storm of emotions.

Mutants?

Not like.

Could they be super soldiers secretly trained by other giant corporations, such as Universal Group or Titan Industries?

Or is it a hidden trump card of the federal government?

But considering they only had one car and four people, and their seemingly reckless behavior, it didn't seem like the work of a powerful force.

What are the origins of this man and his companion?

Just as Emma's mind was racing, the battlefield was quickly cleared, and the air was filled with the stench of gunpowder, blood, and the rotting of monsters.

In the center of the battlefield,

Su Hui turned around, his calm gaze passing over the burning vehicle wreckage and the corpses scattered on the ground, and precisely locked onto Emma Grace, who was getting off the command vehicle.

Eyes facing each other.

Su Hui's gaze was sharp and direct, carrying a scrutinizing quality as he openly appraised the tall, cold-tempered platinum blonde beauty.

Emma Grace took a deep breath, suppressed all her emotions, and took the initiative to meet him.

The cold wind tousled her platinum blonde hair, and her white combat uniform stood out starkly against the backdrop of billowing smoke.

She straightened her back, walked up to Su Hui, and stood a few steps away from him. She raised her head slightly, her icy blue eyes looking directly at Su Hui, her face showing just the right amount of gratitude and a hint of inquiry.

“I am Emma Grace from Raytheon.”

She extended her hand, her voice clear and melodious, "Thank you very much for your help, otherwise we would probably have been wiped out."

"May I ask your name?"

The cold wind carried the smell of gunpowder and blood, blowing a few strands of platinum blonde hair that fell across Emma Grace's forehead.

Her outstretched hand hovered in mid-air, its fair and slender shape creating a strange contrast with her blood-stained white combat uniform.

Su Hui did not reach out, but instead calmly swept his gaze over Emma Grace's exquisite and aloof face, which remained beautiful even amidst the smoke of the apocalypse.

Emma Grace

[Potential S-rank!]

[Match accuracy 83%]

It wasn't that Su Hui was aloof, but rather that he hadn't expected the woman in front of him—Emma Grace—to also be an S-class potential fitter!

In that instant!

Su Hui's mind raced, and he thought of the 100% loyalty effect brought by the Synthetic Goddess.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze lingering briefly on Emma's mature, voluptuous, and alluring figure before finally settling on the armed guards behind her who, though weary, remained vigilant.

The air seemed to freeze.

The longsword, capable of cutting through steel, pointed diagonally at the ground. The monster's blood had not yet completely dried, and an invisible pressure emanated from Su Hui.
