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

Time: The seventh day after the red rains began.

Su Ran leaned back in her chair, her gaze sweeping coldly over the display screen of the constant temperature air conditioner on the wall.

"The Shangri-La we built with all our national resources now looks more like a breeding ground."

Ye Xiao was stunned, and even the cola in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.

Su Ran gave him no time to react, leaning forward with an overwhelming sense of pressure:

"I need to tell you that the situation outside is extremely dangerous. It has reached a critical juncture for the survival of humanity."

You're just one of the tall ones; don't always think about how there are people ahead of you holding up the heights. You're right at the very front.

That's a strong statement.

Ye Xiao put away his playful smile and was about to stand up and express his opinion.

Su Ran suddenly changed the subject and took out another box, pushing it in front of Ye Xiao.

"Alright, stop struggling to find the right words."

He said irritably, "You took my things, so don't forget who you are. Don't become some kind of 'God of War' and then disown your brother."

"Brother Su, who are you insulting?!"

Upon seeing the gift for him, Ye Xiao's expression instantly changed, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked extremely serious.

"Don't you know who I, Ye Xiao, am? My father taught me from a young age to repay even the smallest kindness tenfold. Besides, you saved my life! If I were ungrateful, you can twist my head off and use it as a football!"

"Alright, alright."

Su Ran waved her hand, signaling him to open the box.

Su Ran never worried about Ye Xiao's straightforwardness and potential betrayal.

Ye Xiao rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with a green light.

I pressed the power button.

"laugh!"

The air pressure valve popped open.

"Holy crap..."

With just one glance, Ye Xiao was completely captivated.

There weren't any firearms in the box, just two knives.

Tang Hengdao (a type of sword).

Its shape is simple and ancient, but the blade is not the usual bright white; instead, it has a chilling dark red color.

The blade is three feet and three inches long, with a thick back and a thin edge. The surface is forged with intricate cloud patterns, and just looking at it gives off a chilling, bloodthirsty aura.

"This knife..."

As Ye Xiao reached out, the moment his fingertips touched the hilt of the knife, a throbbing sensation, as if connected by blood, spread throughout his body.

Su Ran leaned back in her chair, took out a cigarette from her pocket, and lit it.

"The main body of the blade is made of a high-entropy alloy extracted from a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron. It is three times harder than diamond, but tougher than spring steel."

"One hand to slay corpses, the other to slay beasts."

"Excellent! What a brilliant move to slay corpses and beasts!"

Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed his twin swords.

"Clang!"

The twin swords were drawn, and a dragon's roar resounded!

The dark red blade gleamed under the light, as if it were alive.

Ye Xiao flicked his wrist and casually twirled the knife.

"hiss"

The air was abruptly cut open, emitting a faint, mournful sound.

"This is more romantic than a sniper rifle!"

Ye Xiao stroked the blade with obvious affection, his gaze even more tender than when he looked at his first love.

"Brother Su, that's right! A real man should play with this! With this thing, I can finally unleash my full potential!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's excited expression, almost as if he were about to dance, Su Ran's lips curled slightly.

That's right.

This is the future swordsman who will guard the nation's borders alone with his sword.

"If you like it, that's good."

Su Ran stood up, walked to Ye Xiao's side, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

His smile faded, and his voice turned cold.

"leaf."

Ye Xiao also sensed the change in Su Ran's emotions, sheathed his sword, and stood up straight: "Brother, what do you want to say?"

"Once the base opens, the most important thing is to train the troops."

Su Ran turned to look at the huge battle map hanging on the wall, then looked towards the tightly closed base gate.

"The outside world has changed. Taking this step out is a step from civilization to barbarism. All those so-called morals and laws become worthless the moment the door opens."

Su Ran turned around and looked directly into Ye Xiao's eyes. At that moment, there was a sense of vicissitude and ruthlessness in his eyes that Ye Xiao had never seen before.

"Dragons cannot be raised in a greenhouse; only blood can nurture a god."

"Operation Dawn will begin. I will request that you, Bai Lu, and the other 15 people be deployed to the front lines to directly confront the zombie attacks."

"I don't know exactly what kind of situation those special talents need to awaken, but you and Bai Lu must increase the strength of your abilities as soon as possible."

Ye Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed.

He sensed the weight of Su Ran's words.

Ye Xiao felt a chill run down his spine; he sensed the weight of this entrustment.

These are not just two knives; they represent the future of the entire base, which he carries on his shoulders in half.

"rest assured."

Ye Xiao grinned, a smile radiating a bloodthirsty wildness. "As long as I still have a knife in my hand, I don't care if it's a zombie or a mutated beast, I'll cut it down for you!"

Su Ran smiled.

He raised his fist.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao stretched out his fist and slammed it into the ground.

"Bang."

A muffled thud.

This is the first life-or-death pact made by two men in this world on the verge of collapse.

"Alright, stop getting sentimental."

Su Ran withdrew her hand, straightened her collar, and said, "Go back and get some rest. Recharge your energy."

"Tomorrow, the door will open. We'll go and slaughter our way through that damned new world!"
