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

Su Ran patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder and uttered three words calmly: "Clear the area."

Zhou Weiguo instantly realized what was happening and turned around sharply, roaring at the guards behind him.

"Clear the area! Clear the entire area! Everyone, get behind the yellow line! Quickly! And all of you, move as fast as you can!"

One minute later, the once noisy underground cavern fell into dead silence.

Su Ran closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into that boundless void.

"This one is for the Taihang Mountains."

Su Ran's mind stirred.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar that seemed to shatter the laws of physics, the immense pressure difference even stirred up a small hurricane inside the cave.

Zhou Weiguo stood in the observation room on the second floor, his face beaming with joy, as happy as an eighty-year-old child.

"Everything is here, everything is here..."

Rows of neat, uniform automated production lines, still carrying the smell of rust-proofing oil.

Five hundred five-axis CNC machine tools collected from precision manufacturing plants across the country!

Two hundred sets of industrial-grade 3D printing equipment!

And hundreds of thousands of tons of special steel that gleamed with a cold, eerie light!

This is not over yet.

Su Ran waved to the right.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Countless military-green wooden crates, stacked like small mountains, appeared out of thin air. The crates at the very top were so tall that they almost touched the dome, which was tens of meters high.

The box was clearly marked with: [5.8mm standard ammunition], [12.7mm armor-piercing ammunition], [Red Arrow series anti-tank missiles]...

A pure burst of resources is more direct than any grand pronouncements.

Those aren't just numbers on paper; they're real, tangible assets that allow a base to survive in the apocalypse.

"Commander Zhou, these machine tools are used to produce the outer shell of the 'Crystal Energy Converter' and the components of the 'Shadow Shield' power armor."

Su Ran's voice came through the communicator, slightly hoarse, yet every word was like thunder.

"I've provided enough materials. The energy solution is already under development at the Kunlun base and will be shipped over from Kunlun soon."

"I only have one request."

Su Ran looked up, her gaze fixed on Zhou Weiguo behind the observation window. "We need to get all these resources in motion. In half a month, I want to see ten fully equipped mecha squadrons here. Can you do that?"

Zhou Weiguo had never submitted to anyone in his life, but at this moment, he stood at attention and gave a perfectly standard military salute to the young man below.

"If I can't do it, I, Zhou Weiguo, will jump off this Taihang Mountain!"

……

After resupplying the Taihang Mountain base, Su Ran didn't even stop to drink a sip of water.

The first-tier evolution wave of the mutated beasts is about to erupt, and he must replace all the bases with new equipment before the firearms become completely ineffective.

The transport plane took off again, and guided by radar, it traversed most of the territory of Great Xia.

"Next stop, Qinling Base."

Su Ran sank into the cabin seat, seizing every second to rest.

Even though his ability to absorb crystal cores has improved significantly recently, the frequent large-scale absorption and release still puts a great strain on his mental strength.

In a daze, he dreamed of his past life.

I dreamt that during those final ten years, the Taihang Mountain base was besieged by a fifth-tier zombie king, and half of the entire mountain was flattened.

Of the 300,000 survivors, fewer than 5,000 managed to escape.

Tragic and desperate, it was the darkest page in human civilization.

"Advisor Su...Advisor Su..."

The accompanying special forces soldier called out in a low voice.

Su Ran suddenly opened her eyes, the bloodshot veins in her eyes still visible. A fierce glint flashed in the depths of her pupils, startling the soldier next to her, who instinctively took a step back.

"Have we arrived?" Su Ran pressed her throbbing temples.

"We're almost at the Qinling Mountains. Also, Director Li has sent us the latest briefing."

The soldier handed over the tablet, saying, "The data for those people you've been paying special attention to has changed."

Su Ran took the tablet and lightly swiped her finger across the screen.

Seed Points Ranking of the Twelve Major National Bases.

Top of the list: Bai Lu.

Points: 3860.

"3860?"

Su Ran's brow furrowed. "Did Bai Lu go to massacre the city?"

This number is simply outrageous; 3860 means 386 first-order crystal cores.

The white deer must have hunted down at least ten thousand zombies or mutated beasts in less than a day.

Second on the list: Ye Xiao.

Points: 1940.

The name "Shura" is indeed fitting; its killing efficiency is terrifyingly consistent.

……

Qinling Base, codenamed "Great Wall".

It has the most insane defenses of the twelve bases. Not only has the entire mountain been hollowed out, but the mountain surface is also covered with a full five-layer defense system.

The plane flew through thick clouds, below which stretched a primeval forest like dark green waves.

"Attention all units, entering the sensitive airspace over the Qinling Mountains. Beware of air defense systems, and even more so, beware of mutated raptors..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Thump!"

The aircraft shook violently, and alarms blared.

"Report from Unit 01! The port engine has been struck by a large, mutated golden eagle! The wing is damaged and leaking oil!"

"Escort formation! Suppress them immediately!"

The two escorting J-20S fighters instantly performed tactical maneuvers, tightly protecting the transport plane's wings.

Su Ran suddenly turned her head to look at the porthole.

A giant golden eagle with a wingspan of nearly six meters and feathers that looked like they were cast from black iron was circling the plane wildly.

Those scarlet eyes revealed the unique wisdom and cruelty of an advanced beast.

"Is it starting already?" Su Ran's eyes darkened.

In my previous life, the mutated golden eagles of the Qinling base were extremely troublesome "aerial overlords".

"I'll handle it. Just keep the plane flying steadily."

Su Ran ripped off her seatbelt and strode toward the tail of the plane amidst gasps from the crowd.

He doesn't have time to dawdle here.

"Advisor Su! What are you doing?!" The accompanying platoon leader was shocked.

At that altitude and with that wind pressure, going out there would be certain death!

Su Ran didn't say anything, but her hand was already on the emergency pressure relief valve.

He wanted to show these beasts, who hadn't fully evolved yet, who really called the shots under the sky.

He's going to teach these beasts a lesson and show them who's in charge in this world!

"Open the hatch!"

Amidst screams of terror, the tail door of the transport plane burst open.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the entire cabin.

Su Ran stood against the wind, her black hair dancing wildly.

The mutated golden eagle let out a piercing cry, spread its wings, and swooped down on Su Ran in the cabin like a black lightning bolt!

"act recklessly."

Su Ran stretched out one hand, her palm aimed at the ferocious eagle head.

Since his rebirth, he has never stopped exploiting and developing his spatial abilities.

Previously, people only regarded him as a "mobile warehouse".

Today, it's time to see a real space system.

"Spatial Mirror!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the diving golden statue crashed into an invisible wall and was eerily frozen in mid-air.

"broken!"

The space around the golden eagle instantly cracked like shattered glass, then collapsed.

This is the most efficient killing technique he developed with the cooperation of the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding soldiers, the ferocious monster didn't even get a meter closer to Su Ran before it was torn into countless neat pieces of flesh.

The whole process takes less than a second.

Apart from a few blood-stained black feathers flying in the gale, nothing was left.

It's quiet now.

All that remained was the piercing wail of the damaged engine.

Su Ran closed the cabin door, wiped the metallic taste from her cheek, and turned to look at the dumbfounded platoon leader.

"What are you looking at me for? Tell the captain to go full speed ahead."

"I'm very busy."
