Lin Fan, leader of the apocalypse mercenary group codenamed "Night Owl," was exploring an ancient ruin with his team when he was caught in a deadly double ambush: betrayed by his allies and attacked by the ruin's guardians. In the end, he died with regret. As his consciousness faded, he discovered that he had returned to three months before the apocalypse began!
The ten years of blood-soaked struggle, life-and-death battles, and treachery he had endured in his previous life were still fresh in his mind. In this life, he swore never again to trust empty promises. He would believe only in absolute power and control! He would not live like a helpless insect, barely scraping by. He would become one of the rulers of the apocalypse, make the traitors pay dearly, and protect those truly worth protecting.
Armed with absolute foreknowledge of future disasters, resource locations, talented individuals, and technological developments, Lin Fan quietly set his plans in motion.
He used his information advantage to amass a fortune, purchased vital supplies around the world, and secretly recruited the elite he had known in his previous life. Knowing he could not stand alone, he began building a crack team centered around himself well in advance.
The apocalypse arrived right on schedule. Zombies rampaged, monstrous beasts roared, and disaster followed disaster. While others were still struggling in fear, Lin Fan's team was already methodically clearing outposts, gathering resources, and recruiting talent.
He coldly eliminated potential threats, skillfully negotiated and traded with all kinds of factions, and made precise investments in future technology and evolutionary paths.
Leading his ever-growing "Longyuan" mercenary group across this brutal wasteland, Lin Fan used an iron will and meticulous calculations to establish his own order, step by step, uncover the truth behind the apocalypse, and embark on a path to dominance utterly unlike the struggle of his previous life.
