After hearing Han Liu's words, Han Bao was stunned for a moment, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes.

However, after a moment, Han Bao sighed and shook his head, saying:

"Xiao Liu, you're oversimplifying the situation!"

If the crisis that Shelter Thirty-Six might face in the future is just the beast hordes in the Stone City ruins, then with Master Lin's powerful elemental gene abilities, he can definitely hold it off!
Even without Lin Shi's intervention, with you, me, and Princess Little Fatty Snake, along with Vice Captain You and Vice Captain Ma, as long as there are no seventh-tier life-level tyrannical source beasts attacking us, even if we encounter a group of a dozen or so predatory source beasts, we can absolutely wipe them out and turn them all into jerky!

But all the shelters in Stone City, including Shelter 36, may face many crises in the future!
It could be a beast tide from the south. When I was in Shelter 36, I heard Vice Captain Ma say that more and more beasts had recently appeared in the Qishan Great Forest in the south. When the food in the Qishan Great Forest can no longer satisfy the beasts' appetites, the beasts in the Qishan Great Forest will form a second wave of beast tide, crushing all the cities that were ravaged by the first wave. If that happens, not only will you, me, Vice Captain Ma, and Vice Captain You be unable to stop it, but even Forest Master would have no chance of stopping it. After all, in the Qishan Great Forest, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, there have already appeared sixth-tier Tyrant-level beasts, fifth-tier Disaster-level beasts, and even the possibility of fourth-tier King-level beasts!
King-level Source Beasts are source beasts that even Lin Haoyun, the strongest person in our Tang Kingdom, might not be able to kill. They are gene warriors that can command countless source beasts to devour human genes. Not to mention King-level source beasts, even if there are a few seventh-order tyrannical source beasts, the shelter would probably be completely destroyed!
Furthermore, the Yunqin Kingdom has long coveted many of Tang Kingdom's cities and populations, and might launch an attack on all the shelters in Stone City at any time. If they were to encounter a large number of Yunqin Kingdom's seventh-tier gene warriors or even a single sixth-tier gene warrior, the shelters would be powerless to resist! After all, Commander Huang, who manages all the shelters in the Stone City ruins, is only a mid-seventh-tier gene warrior!

At this point, Han Bao sighed again.

"Moreover, the most important thing right now is not to reveal Master Lin's special genetic abilities!"
Once Lin Shi's special ability to make other gene warriors grow rapidly is exposed, countless powerful gene warriors will be eyeing him covetously. If it attracts the covetous eyes of fifth-tier gene powerhouses from Tang or Yunqin, there will be big problems!

Therefore, it is really not advisable for Master Lin and the rest of us to reveal our full strength in Shelter No. 36 right now!
"You and Master Lin are a little better off, but I'm a Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior. My physique is at the eighth-tier life level, it's too obvious, there's no way to hide this sudden increase in strength. Princess Little Fat Snake is the same. If Princess Little Fat Snake and I went back to Shelter Thirty-Six with you, wouldn't we be completely exposed!"

Upon hearing this, Han Liu fell silent.

Although he was always unconventional, he understood that what Han Bao said made a lot of sense.

Lin Xuankong's voice came from the second row of seats, "Just as Han Bao said, Xiao Liu and I will go back and check on Deputy Captain You and Deputy Captain Ma. After we deliver some supplies there, we'll come out and meet up with Han Bao and Little Fatty Snake. Right now, our strength is indeed insufficient to completely protect ourselves, so it's best to keep a low profile for the time being!"

Seeing that Lin Xuankong had spoken, Han Liu nodded, "Since Master Lin has spoken, then this is the only way! Although I feel a little frustrated that I have to suppress my skills, it seems that this is the only way for the time being!"

Han Bao nodded, "Then I won't drive any further. Lin Shi, Xiao Liu, you two walk there?"

The smell of gunpowder wafted from the front of Shelter 36.

Thousands upon thousands of wrecked cars, completely crushed and piled together with clods of reinforced concrete, blocked the entire front of the shelter, forming a defensive line several meters high. In the center of the defensive line, to the left of a simple alloy gate, stood a dozen gene warriors, directing the busy refugees below the defensive line to clean up the corpses of several source beasts.

To the left of the dozen or so gene warriors was a sofa and a coffee table. Xu Chong, comfortably seated on the sofa, picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and sneered:
"These lazybones are just wasting a lot of resources living in the shelter. Tsk tsk, it takes them this long to deal with just a few canine source beast corpses! Damn it, in my opinion, all those useless people who failed to get a second gene injection should be kicked out of the shelter!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Chong is absolutely right! It's really a waste of resources to keep these useless people in the shelter who are completely incapable of awakening their genetic abilities!"

A voluptuous young female disaster victim lay on the ground, gently massaging Xu Chong's legs while speaking with a fawning smile.

Most of the gene warriors nearby nodded in agreement, their faces turning fierce as they looked at the disaster victims working. One of them, named Lei Er, even shouted, "You four groups, stop dawdling! Each of you is to deal with the corpses of your respective dog-type source beasts. The group that is the slowest will be punished. No food or water for today! You bunch of lazybones, a bunch of utterly useless inferior humans!"

Upon hearing this, the dozens of men and women in the four groups all wore bitter expressions, but they didn't dare to look up at Lei Er and Xu Chong, the leader of the fourth group of gene warriors.

As these disaster victims worked, their bodies swayed constantly, and cold sweat poured from their foreheads. Normally, the amount of food and water they received in Shelter 36 was meager, barely enough to sustain their basic bodily functions. Where would they find the strength to do such strenuous work? Especially in recent days, after some incidents at Shelter 36, the amount of food and water these victims received has become even less. In fact, in recent days, auxiliary security personnel have frequently found victims who had starved to death during their searches!

The corpses of these four canine source beasts are relatively easy for the gene warriors, who have ample food and powerful genetic abilities, to handle!

In the hands of these disaster victims, dealing with the corpses of these canine beasts became a nightmare. Even though every disaster victim present tried their best to use their SW alloy daggers, even though they wished they could use the last bit of strength in their bodies, it was still extremely difficult to break through the tough skin and flesh of those canine beasts!
A few minutes later, next to the corpse of one of the canine source beasts, two disaster victims, exhausted from overexertion, collapsed beside the corpse, their vision going black.

Seeing this, the other disaster victims couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Several of them went over, took out water bottles with half a bottle of water from their waists, opened the lids, and wanted to give the two exhausted disaster victims who had collapsed on the ground a sip of salt water to replenish their bodies after such a huge loss of energy!
"Do you guys want to die? Those two were trying to cheat by pretending to be exhausted and collapsing to the ground, and you guys are trying to cheat too, planning to take a break while giving them water? I think you've been too tight-lipped lately and want to loosen up a bit?"

Lei Er, the Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, twisted his thick neck, making a crackling sound, and then swung his leather belt as he walked towards the group of disaster victims who were about to give water to the two who had collapsed. A cruel smile appeared on his face.

His expression suggested that whipping these disaster victims would be an extremely joyful thing for Lei Er.

The disaster victims who were originally going to give water to the two who had collapsed immediately changed their expressions and their legs began to tremble. They dared not stand still, put away their water bottles, gripped their SW alloy daggers tightly, and returned to their positions to continue working!
Lei Er walked up to the two fallen refugees with a sinister grin and raised the leather belt in his hand.

"clap clap"

After a few sharp cracks, a piercing and painful scream immediately came from the mouths of the two disaster victims.

With Lei Erlong's terrifying power at the mid-stage of the ninth rank of the Elephant Gene Warrior level, he could have easily whipped these two refugees, who had lost all their power, to death with a single blow. However, he clearly did not intend to give these two refugees a quick death, and when he struck, he withdrew 99% of his power.

Lei Er kept cracking his whip.
The sounds of slapping and screaming, along with piercing cries, kept coming from the mouths of the two disaster victims.

Xu Chong, the leader of the fourth group who was enjoying the wine and massage from the beautiful women with his eyes closed, couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile when he heard these sounds. After opening his eyes, he looked at Lei Er, who was swinging his leather belt, and said, "You be careful, kid. It's fine to beat these two to death, but don't beat any other lower-class humans. After all, the physical labor in the shelter still needs to be done by these lower-class humans! Also, don't beat these two to death too quickly, otherwise it will be too boring!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chong, I'll give those two lazybones a good beating. I promise you'll get your fill, hehe!"

The young woman who was massaging Xu Chong saw this scene and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head, not daring to show her expression to Xu Chong, lest this guy who had almost completely lost his humanity see it!

Lei Er chuckled coldly and continued to swing his leather belt, now covered in blood and bits of flesh, at the two convulsing victims on the ground.

With each lash of Lei Er's leather belt, the screams of the two refugees grew even more piercing.
The disaster victims who were dealing with the corpses of the canine beasts trembled involuntarily with each sound of a leather belt striking a human body, as if the sound of the leather belt was a death knell ringing in their ears and hearts!

Hearing the piercing screams of two disaster victims, and seeing the trembling of the other victims,
Lei Er became even more excited, and his blows became even heavier.

Soon, the screams of the two victims weakened, their breathing became intermittent, and their bodies were covered in blood and gore. They looked like they were about to die.

"Fuck you, I can't take this anymore!"

A sound suddenly came from afar, followed by a huge concrete block that whistled through the air and slammed into Lei Er, who was abusing two disaster victims.

As a Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, Lei Er's hearing was naturally extremely sensitive. Even though the huge concrete block came quite fast, he still reacted and twisted his body to avoid the impact of the huge concrete block.

After dodging the attack, Lei Er's face suddenly turned fierce as he looked toward the source of the sound.

The other dozen or so Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, upon seeing this scene, quickly drew their heavy machine guns and SW alloy longswords, holding the sword in one hand and the gun in the other, and looked into the distance.

Even Xu Chong, who was lying on the sofa, stood up, kicked away the young woman at his feet, squinted, and looked into the distance.

After clearly seeing the face of the person who threw the stones...
The dozen or so Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors present, along with Xu Chong, all paused, revealing expressions of extreme surprise.

Xu Chong couldn't help but frown, and said coldly, "You two are still alive?"

The one who just threw the stone at Lei Er was none other than Han Liu with the messy hair. He followed behind Lin Xuankong towards Xu Chong and the disaster victims, saying:

"Surprised, aren't you? Shocked, aren't you, Xu Chong, and Lei Er and Lei Hu!"

Did you not expect that the two of us would still be alive?

However, I was also very surprised that you guys, who have completely lost your humanity, did not die even when chased by the predatory python!

"Looking at it this way, the armored vehicle you guys were driving was surprisingly sturdy; it actually managed to protect you!"

As they spoke, Han Liu and Lin Xuankong walked to a position about ten meters in front of Xu Chong and the others.

Lin Xuankong stood still, glanced at the two disaster victims covered in blood and gore, then at Lei Er clutching his leather belt, and at Xu Chong with a look of astonishment on his face, a cold glint in his eyes.

Han Liu ignored Lei Er and Xu Chong and went directly to the two fallen disaster victims. He carefully examined their injuries, then quickly took out a box of hemostatic medicine and a roll of gauze. He said to the few disaster victims standing there dumbfounded, "You guys come here and apply this medicine to the wounds of these two disaster victims, and then bandage their wounds!"

After speaking, Han Liu tossed the medicine and gauze to a bewildered disaster victim before raising his head to look at Xu Chong and the dozen or so Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, whose expressions were beginning to darken. (End of Chapter)
