I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Looking down at the Tang Dynasty border city that they had already traversed once,

A smile also appeared on Lin Xuankong's lips.

Before setting off for the Qiushan Mountains...

You Rui was quite worried about whether Lin Xuankong and Han Liu could safely reach the Qiushan Mountains and successfully obtain the sixth-order source stone crystal!

After all, the terror and danger of the Qiushan Mountains have long been a consensus among countless gene warriors!

For a long time, waves of genetic warriors have ventured into the Qiushan Mountains in search of opportunities and precious resources, but very few have managed to emerge alive from the dangerous and terrifying Qiushan Mountains!

But this time,

Lin Xuankong and Han Liu returned from the Qiushan Mountains, not only having become sixth-order life level experts, but also obtaining fifth-order source stone crystals that countless gene experts coveted, precious resources for their future advancement to the fifth-order life level, a large amount of fifth-order animal source beast resources, and most of the resources from the body of a giant climbing beast leader!

This enormous gain was something that even Lin Xuankong, who was heading to the Qiushan Mountains, had not anticipated. After all, his and Han Liu's original goal and plan was only to obtain sixth-order source stone crystals!

'When Yu Rui sees the sixth-tier and fifth-tier source stone crystals she obtained, along with a large amount of other resources, I wonder how surprised she'll be!'

A smile appeared on Lin Xuankong's lips.

Although a mountain still weighed on his heart, and he was worried about the terrible crisis that the super demons of Zhongji Star were about to arrive, Lin Xuankong was very clear that in the face of such a terrible crisis that he could not change by his own strength, in addition to going all out to intensify his cultivation and find ways to improve his combat ability in all aspects, he should put aside the enormous pressure brought by this terrible crisis for the time being and not think about such a thing that he could not change in a short period of time all the time!

Since we cannot avoid this suffering and terrible crisis, the only thing we can do is to find joy in hardship!

Yes, making You Rui happy is obviously something to be happy about for Lin Xuankong!

Vault 36

The rooftop of the tallest building in the center.

Yu Rui, the captain of Shelter No. 36, looked at a large herd of animal-like creatures approaching Shelter No. 36 with a solemn expression on her pretty face.

“Master’s wife, in the past half month or so, a large number of source beasts have emerged from Qizi Mountain south of Shicheng. Some of these source beasts have headed towards Lucheng southwest of Shicheng, causing a large number of casualties among gene warriors and ordinary disaster victims there. Some of these source beasts are heading towards Shicheng!”

The large horde of Source Beasts before us is led by a top-tier seventh-order life form, and includes over fifty powerful Source Beasts at the late seventh-order level. They all came from Chess Piece Mountain south of Stone City!

Han Bao, who had long been the number one commander of Shicheng, stood beside You Rui with several top-tier seventh-order life-level dragon-elephant gene warriors, his brows furrowed, and spoke.

Yu Rui nodded slightly and said to Zhu Ling beside her, "Have all the gene warriors above level eight in the shelter get ready, prepare level seven armor and weapons, and have all the heavy machine guns loaded with shells!"

This large group of source beasts has quite a few seventh-tier source beasts. To withstand their first wave of attacks and blunt their momentum, we must mobilize them all!

Furthermore, have Deputy Captain Ma send men to gather all the refugees in the shelter and have them take refuge in the safe passage below the shelter, to prevent any powerful seventh-tier source beasts from breaking through the defenses and rushing into the shelter, causing massive casualties!

Zhu Ling stood upright, saluted Captain You Rui, and then quickly left to arrange matters. As Lin Xuankong's third formally accepted disciple in this Primordial World, Zhu Ling, who already possessed powerful dragon-elephant genetic talent, was now a seventh-tier genetic warrior, and a truly powerful warrior at the top of the seventh-tier life level!

Compared to Han Bao, who possesses the extraordinary talent of the Primordial Vajra Body, Zhu Ling might not be a match for him. However, among the large number of gene warriors in Stone City, there are not many who can stand up to Zhu Ling. Even the five top-tier seventh-order life level Wang family experts that Han Bao transferred from Dingcheng might not be able to defeat Zhu Ling.

In total, Shelter 36 has about a hundred Tier 8 gene warriors, over a thousand Tier 9 Dragon Elephant gene warriors, several Tier 7 gene warriors, and two Tier 7 top-level life-level gene warriors, You Rui and Zhu Ling. Combined with the large number of heavy machine guns and alloy shells equipped in Shelter 36, its overall strength is no less than that of Shelter 1, the largest shelter in Stone City!

but,

The horde of source beasts that emerged from Qizi Mountain on the outskirts of Shicheng was simply too powerful!

There were nearly sixty animal-type source beasts at the late seventh rank alone. Such a terrifyingly large group of source beasts could have swept through all the shelters in Stone City without any hindrance if it had been more than half a year ago!

After all, more than half a year ago, among the dozens of shelters in the entire Stone City Ruins, only one number one officer was a seventh-level life level gene warrior. All the other shelter captains were only at the late eighth level or top eighth level life level. How could they possibly withstand the impact of such a terrifying source beast horde in terms of scale and strength!

Fortunately, after more than half a year of development,

Thanks to the abundant resources Lin Xuankong left for Shelter 36 in advance, a sufficient quantity of YZMM gene serum, and the meticulous guidance of Captains like You Rui, the number of gene warriors in Shelter 36 has increased many times over, with over a hundred Tier 8 gene warriors now appearing! With such a large number of Tier 8 gene warriors, coupled with their numerous Tier 7 alloy armor and weapons, and alloy cannonballs with power comparable to a Tier 7 gene warrior's full-force attack, Shelter 36 can indeed put up a fight against this horde of source beasts!

Of course, the lack of high-end combat power is still the biggest problem of Shelter No. 36 at present. There are only two top-level seventh-tier life force experts, Captain You Rui and Vice Captain Zhu Ling. Even if the two of them are used in several parts, or each of them can fight three or four, it is still only seven or eight top-level seventh-tier life force experts!

Faced with this situation, Han Bao, the current commander of Shelter One, did not hesitate to bring all five of Shelter One's top combat forces—the five late-stage seventh-tier gene warrior captains—along with himself, who was fully armed and brought his alloy equipment.

"This is a tough battle, and we cannot let our guard down!"

Little Leopard, when the horde of Source Beasts is about to approach Shelter No. 36, you and your men should take charge of the entrances on the left, right and rear sides of the shelter and make sure to block the first wave of attacks from the Source Beasts!

I'll handle the attacks from the source beasts on this side, along with Zhu Ling!"

You Rui spoke with a solemn expression.

The total number of gene warriors in the entire Stone City is now greater than it was six months ago! After all, Han Bao is a formal member of the Zhennan Wang family, and even more so, a son-in-law of the Zhennan Wang family. The resources he can obtain are naturally far greater than those of that so-called Commander Huang back then!

In the past six months, the number of gene warriors in the entire Stone City has nearly doubled, reaching almost 18,000! However, among these 18,000 gene warriors, probably not a single one would dare to call Han Bao "Little Leopard" to his face. Even the three Wang brothers, who were once extremely powerful and renowned, would call Han Bao "Brother Han" when they see him now, and would not really treat him as a junior. Han Bao's talent and abilities are something that even the leader of the Dingcheng gene warrior organization of the Zhennan Wang family greatly admires and values!

"Rest assured, Madam, my colleagues and I will do our utmost to ensure that no source beast enters Shelter Thirty-Six and causes any trouble!"

Han Bao's expression turned solemn, and he nodded vigorously.

The five seventh-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors behind him also stood up in unison, saluted You Rui, and responded in unison.

In fact, according to normal official ranks, the Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors who serve as deputy captains in Shelter No. 1 are not lower in status than You Rui, and their life level is not much lower either. In addition, they all come from the Dingcheng Gene Warrior Organization and are some of the elites under the Zhennan Wang family. Even if they are not formal members yet, they should have a great chance of becoming formal members in the future!

However, even such elite soldiers had no choice but to obey You Rui's orders. After all, their superior, Han Bao, who was highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Zhennan Wang family, obediently followed the arrangements of You Rui, their master's wife. How could they dare to show any arrogance or fierceness?

The courtyards of Vault 36 were now bustling with activity.

This shelter, number thirty-six, which has been expanded several times, now houses nearly 250,000 people, almost equivalent to the population of an average county town. With so many refugees gathered together, without the formidable productivity and construction capabilities of a large number of genetically engineered warriors, it would be impossible to build enough residential buildings in a short period! However, within this shelter in Shicheng, the Tang Kingdom of Mars, where genetically engineered warriors are virtually omnipotent, building hundreds of residential buildings is not a difficult task at all!

At this moment, large numbers of disaster victims poured out of every residential building, then lined up in orderly queues, led by the management personnel, and headed towards the various entrances to the underground passage. Shelter No. 36 had clearly practiced this kind of crisis response more than once; although the rapidly evacuating victims showed a hint of panic on their faces, there was no chaotic scene!

About twenty minutes later,

Almost all the disaster victims have been moved to the underground passage.

Inside Shelter No. 36, which was already surrounded by tall and thick walls, there were only about a hundred eighth-tier gene warriors and more than eight hundred ninth-tier gene warriors. The remaining eighth-tier and ninth-tier gene warriors had all gone to the underground passage with the disaster victims, partly to maintain order and partly to guard against any special situations that might arise.

The remaining hundred eighth-tier gene warriors and more than eight hundred ninth-tier gene warriors, all fully armed, climbed the tall and thick walls. Most of the gene warriors stood near the heavy machine guns loaded with alloy ammunition.

Some of these genetically engineered warriors wore expressions of excitement, but most wore expressions of panic in their eyes.

The reason for the panic was not that these gene warriors lacked courage, but rather that the sheer number of source beasts rushing towards Shelter Thirty-Six was simply too great, totaling around two thousand, including a large number of eighth-tier source beasts, as well as even larger, more powerful, and stronger seventh-tier source beasts!

Even the near-impregnable Vault One would likely suffer heavy casualties dealing with such a massive horde of source beasts. While Vault Thirty-Six was no less powerful than Vault One in terms of the number of heavy machine guns and alloy armor, most of its gene warriors were relatively new and hadn't participated in large-scale wars with Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, Han Bao, and the others. Naturally, they were somewhat flustered and uneasy facing such a massive horde of source beasts!

As this massive horde of source beasts drew ever closer,

Above Vault 36, the panic and unease on the faces of these 'new' gene warriors became increasingly apparent.

This was a massive herd of colossal elephant source beasts. Compared to other animal-type source beasts, the colossal elephants weren't actually that strong. For example, compared to extremely famous source beasts like the Spiked Beast, these colossi lacked ranged attack capabilities and weren't considered among the most powerful animal-type source beasts. However, the sheer size of the colossal elephants was absolutely among the largest of all animal-type source beasts!

Even before they mutated and evolved, these animal-type source beasts possessed enormous sizes. After mutating and evolving into source beasts, their enormous size increased by about two times!

Even the weakest ninth-tier giant elephant source beast has a height of about seven meters and a body length of more than ten meters. Its pair of white giant teeth, which are more than ten meters long, are like super huge sharp blades, gleaming with a terrifying silver-white metallic luster under the sunlight!

Among them, the giant elephant source beasts at the eighth-order life level were even more astonishingly large, with a height of about twelve or thirteen meters and a body length of more than twenty meters. When they moved, even a light step on the ground would cause the asphalt road to collapse deeply and would also cause the surrounding ground to tremble violently!

The tall, thick walls of Shelter No. 36 have been reinforced and heightened multiple times over the past six months in order to withstand potential attacks from large source beasts in the future!

However, the 15-meter-high thick walls of Shelter 36 seemed to be no formidable defense in the face of these terrifying and enormous giant elephant source beasts. Among the giant elephant source beast horde, those seventh-order life level giant elephants were already close to 20 meters tall, much taller than the tall and thick walls of Shelter 36!
