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

Su Ran shook her head helplessly.

An S-rank mentalist is invincible in this "beginner village" stage where there are no high-level zombies.

As long as she doesn't get surrounded by a massive army and be worn down to death, there's nothing on the ground that can harm her.

"Comrade Xiao Su, the special plane is ready."

Li Guodong strode over, his expression grave. "As per the commander's orders, a special forces platoon has been assigned to accompany you. You're carrying half of the Great Xia's national treasury. If anything happens to you, I'll lose my head."

Su Ran didn't mince words and nodded decisively.

His mission was more important than fighting zombies on the front lines.

Within three days, they must travel thousands of kilometers to replenish the heavy equipment, special ammunition, and massive amounts of food stored in the space to the remaining eleven large underground bases.

This is the lifeblood of the Great Xia's counterattack; it cannot be severed.

Li Guodong glanced at Su Ran, then turned and roared into the communication channel, "Listen up, all of you! If Consultant Su loses even a single hair, don't bother coming back. Just bury yourselves in there! Understand?!"

"yes!"

The special operations team members around him were shouting loudly.

Su Ran stepped onto the hatch, and as the hydraulic rod retracted, the noise from the outside world was shut out.

"Old Li, see you later."

The moment the hatch closed, Su Ran's heart skipped a beat.

The feeling was mysterious, like being in a vast sea of ​​people and having missed out on a crucial role.

It was a strange feeling, like he had left a puzzle piece in a corner, but he couldn't remember who it belonged to.

"never mind."

Su Ran gave up on this pointless internal struggle, rubbed her temples, and said, "Let's talk about it after this busy period is over. I've been working non-stop these past few days, my brain is practically rusted."

With the roar of its turbofan engines, the transport plane rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

The escort formation beside us also took off simultaneously!

……

Meanwhile, on the ground battlefield.

The first engagement went straight to the climax without any foreplay.

In a small county town located at a highway exit, a dense horde of mutated beasts, startled by the sound of engines, surged out like a gray tide.

"Target confirmed! Coordinates corrected!"

"Ready! Fire!"

The artillery positions, which had already been set up, roared.

The dense barrage of shells, like a meteor shower, instantly covered the positions in front.

Boom boom boom!

Flames shot into the sky, and limbs flew everywhere.

This is the kind of dimensional reduction attack that modern military industry can deliver to carbon-based life forms.

During Su Ran's so-called "newbie protection period," the firearms that humanity is so proud of remain the most unreasonable truth on this planet.

The saturation bombardment had just ended, and thick smoke was still billowing from the ruins.

But tens of thousands of mutilated mutated beasts still crawled on the scorched earth, roaring.

"assault!"

With the commander's order, the steel torrent crashed into the ruins.

"Kill them!!!"

A ferocious figure sprang from the infantry fighting vehicle and charged to the front.

"Monsters! Grandpa's here!"

Ye Xiao let out a wild, beast-like laugh. The moment the dark red longsword entered his hand, its blade strangely ignited with a dark red glow.

A mutated coyote over two meters tall pounced, its claws sharp enough to tear through a bulletproof vest.

"Die!"

Ye Xiao dodged and slashed horizontally.

laugh!

Without any obstruction, the sound of the blade slicing through the air was accompanied by a scorching explosion.

Before the mutated coyote could even howl, it was neatly cut in two at the waist, the cut end even being carbonized by the high temperature.

Each swing of his sword created a dark red curtain of blood.

His superpower surged through his veins, and the thrill of killing made his aura rise steadily amidst the pool of blood.

Puff puff!

Three more zombie heads shot into the sky.

"Awesome! That's fucking awesome!"

Ye Xiao's face was covered in blood. He didn't defend himself at all and just rushed towards wherever there were many mutated beasts.

On the other side of the battlefield, the scene was completely different.

Mo Yun broke away from the main group and stood atop an abandoned clock tower.

He looked down at the dense herd of beasts at his feet, the aura of a "scholar" that once filled his eyes completely gone.

He slowly opened his arms, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a thick, pale green mist.

"Highly poisonous, spread."

The thick fog seemed to have a life of its own, flowing downwards with gravity and silently seeping into every corner of the ruins.

Zizi!

A dense, tooth-grinding, corrosive sound rang out.

A few seconds later, the once noisy and chaotic supermarket entrance became eerily quiet.

A strong zombie that was about to pounce on the armored vehicle in front of it froze in mid-air.

Its grayish-white skin instantly turned green, then dissolved and collapsed like charred plastic.

In less than half a minute, nearly all the zombies turned into puddles of pus that emitted a pungent odor, leaving only shiny crystal cores that shimmered in the viscous liquid.

Mo Yun withdrew his hand, his face slightly pale, his chest heaving violently.

"It's still a bit difficult to control!"

The sorcerer clears the field; all beings are equal.

The "potential seeds" following behind were staring so intently their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this the full power unleashed by the Awakened?

No bullets needed, no logistics needed, one person can form an army and suppress the battlefield!

It completely ignited the last line of defense in their hearts.

"What are you standing there for? Go steal the monster!"

Wang Meng roared, hoisting the heavy machine gun and unleashing a hail of bullets at the remaining survivors. "Even those two Awakened Ones are fighting this hard! If you keep dawdling, you'll be eating shit before it's even hot!"

Facing a zombie that had slipped through the flank, Wang Meng drew a specially made entrenching tool from his waist and engaged in close combat.

"For the points! For the premium zone! For not having to unclog the sewers! Charge!!"

With someone taking the lead, fear is instantly swallowed up by desire.

……

Meanwhile, in Anping Town, a remote town far from the main battlefield.

The entrance to the town.

Bailu's Mengshi off-road vehicle was parked steadily in the middle of the road.

Ahead, hundreds of zombies, attracted by the movement, have formed a small horde.

The scent of living people wafted in from all directions of the street.

Bai Lu didn't get out of the car; her cool, clear eyes swept indifferently across the road ahead.

"Tsk, the quantity is not bad."

She gave a brief comment, then stretched out her long, slender, fair hands and gently flicked her fingertips through the air.

"rise."

boom!

The trunk lid of the SUV popped open on its own by an invisible force.

Thirty-six crystal-clear, willow-leaf-shaped throwing knives, as clear as cicada wings, hummed as they flew into the air, circling the white deer.

"go."

Bai Lu parted her red lips slightly and uttered a single word.

hum!

A series of rapid whooshing sounds filled the air.

That's a speed that ordinary people can't perceive with the naked eye.

The silver light weaved through the horde of corpses; there were no explosions, no roars, only a deathly silence.

Each knife was like a self-aware grim reaper, precisely piercing the eye sockets of each zombie and severing their brainstem.

Thump, thump, thump.

The zombies fell in droves, like wheat fields being pushed over by a combine harvester.

"receive."

Bai Lu snapped her fingers.

All the throwing knives hovered instantly, shaking off the blood and grime from their blades, and obediently flew back into the box.

His mental energy was projected outwards, and invisible tentacles reached into the corpse.

Click.

Her skull shattered, and crystal cores floated up automatically, lining up to fly into the storage bag in her hand.

She glanced at the points chart on her wrist.

"White Deer, Points: 280".

"Too slow! How can we get first place with this monster-killing efficiency?"

Bai Lu frowned slightly, then turned her gaze to the industrial park further and further away.

Her exceptional mental perception gives her an instinctive intuition for danger.

There are big guys there.

This also means more crystal nuclei.

"I'm determined to get first place this time."

Bai Lu closed the car door and slammed on the gas.

The hunt begins.
