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

When Deputy Captain Ma asked about Han Bao,
Han Liu hesitated for a moment, then gestured for Deputy Captain Ma to be quiet, and looked around at various corners of his room.

Deputy Captain Ma shook his head, looking at Lin Xuankong and Han Liu with curiosity.

"Don't worry, there are no security cameras in the room, and no one is eavesdropping outside."

The two of you and Han Bao haven't returned to Shelter Thirty-Six for so long. All the gene warriors in the shelter, except for Vice Captain You Rui, believe that the three of you have died outside! According to Xu Chong, what attacked you was a predator-level giant python. Even if Captain You Rui and I were there, it would have been difficult. If we hadn't fought desperately, we wouldn't have been able to escape!

Almost everyone thought the three of you were dead, so how could anyone possibly install surveillance equipment in your room?

Moreover, even I, when I first heard my genetically engineered soldiers say that the two of you had returned alive, thought the kid who reported the news was talking nonsense!

Han Liu nodded, sat down opposite Vice Captain Ma, and said seriously:

"Captain Ma, Brother Leopard said that among all the gene warriors in Vault 36, only you and Vice Captain You Rui can be trusted. So, I won't hide anything from you about Brother Leopard! Brother Leopard is currently near Vault 36, and he's still alive. The reason he didn't come back with us is due to some special reasons!"

Furthermore, we don't plan to stay in Vault 36 long-term this time. We intend to transfer some supplies to you, visit you and Vice Captain You Rui, and then leave Vault 36!

Deputy Captain Ma gave Han Liu and Lin Xuankong a strange look. "The ruins of Stone City are teeming with source beasts. Let alone ninth-tier gene warriors like you, even an eighth-tier gene warrior like me could be in danger at any time without the life detectors in armored vehicles! Since you two and Han Bao have already made it back to Shelter No. 36 with great difficulty, why are you leaving again?"

Even most of the gene warriors in this Vault 36 share Han Bao's ideology: this is human territory, while the outside world ultimately belongs to the source beasts!

Han Liu shook his head, walked to a nearby room, and dragged over a large amount of packed supplies that he had just taken from the storage space of the Void Devouring Insects.

"Captain Ma, don't worry, the three of us are doing pretty well out there! Here, we got all sorts of medical supplies from near a large supermarket, and several thousand kilograms of dried meat from canine beasts!"
As Lin Shi and Leopard Brother intended, these medical supplies obtained from near the large supermarket will be left for the disaster victims in Shelter 36, while the dried meat of these canine source beasts will be given to you and Vice Captain You Rui, half and half respectively. Leopard Brother is very grateful for your care at Shelter 36 over the past year, and Lin Shi and I are also deeply grateful for Vice Captain You Rui's guidance on our path of source art cultivation!

When Deputy Captain Ma saw the several large bags of supplies piled up in front of him, nearly as tall as a person, he stood up in surprise.
He looked through the large amount of medical supplies, then squeezed the dried meat of the canine source beast, and said with a look of surprise: "As far as I know, almost every large supermarket in the Stone City ruins has become a den of predator-level source beasts because of its wide terrain. Without the strength of a top-level eighth rank, it is impossible to defeat those predator-level source beasts. Moreover, there are often at least five or six predator source beasts in those dens!"

How did you manage to get so many precious medical supplies?
Furthermore, these four or five thousand catties of completely dried canine-type source beast meat jerky would probably require at least fifteen thousand catties of fresh canine-type source beast flesh to make. That means at least two hundred ninth-tier canine-type source beasts would have to be killed. You've only been ninth-tier gene warriors for a little over a month, and you weren't carrying any alloy heavy firepower. How did you manage that?

At this moment, Deputy Captain Ma looked at Lin Xuankong and then at Han Liu, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Han Liu was unwilling to casually tell Vice Captain Ma that he and Han Bao had become top-tier eighth-order life forms under Lin Xuankong's guidance and help.

He scratched his messy hair and chuckled, "Anyway, there's a reason. You can think of it as a powerful and mysterious genetic expert helping me and Brother Leopard!"

Han Liu wasn't wrong or lying. After all, in his and Han Bao's eyes, Lin Xuankong, whom they spent every day with, was indeed exceptionally powerful and extremely mysterious. Neither of them could see through this teacher.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Captain Ma seemed to accept the reason. "A mysterious powerful figure helped you? Xu Chong and the gene warriors who returned alive mentioned this as well. They said that before encountering the predator python, they had fought a group of cat-type source beasts and discovered several cat-type source beasts that had died silently! According to Xu Chong and the others' speculation, there is likely a mysterious gene-type powerful figure in the Stone City ruins who did not join the shelter but is wandering around hunting source beasts."

When Han Liu heard what Deputy Captain Ma said, he chuckled again and glanced at Lin Xuankong, secretly winking at him repeatedly.

Lin Xuankong ignored the impatient guy and asked, "Captain Ma and Captain You Rui should have similar ideas and a good relationship. You Rui should know that we've both come back. Is she at the gene warrior training hall or at her residence?"

This time, Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and Han Bao returned to Shelter No. 36. In addition to bringing back some supplies, they wanted to meet Vice Captain You Rui, who had personally given him detailed instructions on Origin Technique.

Regardless, Vice Captain You Rui was one of Lin Xuankong's true mentors, a fact reflected in his "old but vigorous" destiny. Lin Xuankong always remembered those who helped him. This time, he actually intended to take Vice Captain You Rui with him when he left Vault 36!

According to the information in the "Old but Still Vigorous" destiny chart, Vice Captain You Rui's life level has also reached the top level of the eighth rank!
With Vice Captain You Rui on board, this group now boasts four top-tier eighth-tier members. Lin Xuankong can now devise a plan to take down a seventh-tier brutal-level source beast together! After all, Lin Xuankong's body only has a genetic compatibility of around 40%, unlike geniuses with 100% genetic compatibility who don't face advancement bottlenecks. To advance to a seventh-tier life form, he must kill a seventh-tier brutal-level source beast to obtain a seventh-tier source stone crystal! Most importantly, because this body has already awakened extremely powerful and rare Ice Blade Technique and Water Drawing Technique, even though he somewhat dislikes the body's lower genetic compatibility, he cannot abandon a body possessing such powerful genetic abilities!

"Captain You Rui?"

Deputy Captain Ma's face stiffened, he suddenly sighed, and then fell silent.

When Lin Xuankong saw that Vice Captain Ma had this expression after he mentioned Captain You Rui, his heart sank.

Han Liu's expression changed, becoming somewhat gloomy and cold. He stared at Deputy Captain Ma and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Deputy Captain You Rui? If it weren't for Deputy Captain You Rui's exquisite guidance, I, Han Liu, would never have embarked on the path of Origin Technique cultivation so easily. In this Shelter No. 36, if anyone dares to harm Deputy Captain You Rui, I, Han Liu, will absolutely not let them go!"

Hearing Han Liu's words, Deputy Captain Ma sighed again and shook his head, saying, "Lin Kong, Han Liu, even if you really have a mysterious gene powerhouse behind you, you might not be able to rescue Deputy Captain You Rui! After all, this is Shelter Thirty-Six, and all the SW alloy heavy firepower automatic weapons here are controlled by one person. Even if three or four top-tier eighth-level source beasts or gene powerhouses came, they might not be able to break through when faced with such powerful automatic heavy firepower weapons!"

"One person in charge?" Han Liu's eyes turned cold. "Captain Ma, are you saying that Chief Captain Xu attacked Deputy Captain You Rui?"

Lin Xuankong suddenly stood up and asked in a cold voice, "Vice Captain You Rui should still be alive. Where is she now?"

Deputy Captain Ma sighed again and frowned, saying:

Just two days ago,

While Vice Captain You Rui was working in the gene warrior training hall,
Xu Chong quietly led a team to search the residence of Deputy Captain You Rui. They found the bodies of ten young female disaster victims inside the residence. Xu Chong then reported the findings to Commander Xu, who was in seclusion for training.

Captain Xu personally took action, mobilizing the twelve most powerful automatic weapons in Shelter No. 36 to surround Deputy Captain You Rui.

After a fierce battle, Vice Captain You Rui was seriously injured and captured by the combined attack of twelve automatic weapons and Captain Xu. Qiu Jin was imprisoned in the cell below the Gene Warrior Training Hall.

Later, Captain Xu issued a notice to the entire Shelter No. 36, gathering all the gene warriors and disaster victims. He publicly announced that Vice Captain You Rui had tortured and killed ten female disaster victims, and stated that even though Vice Captain You Rui had made many contributions to Shelter No. 36, he would never cover up any case of torture and killing of ordinary disaster victims!

"Right now, Vice Captain You Rui should still be in the cell below the gene warrior training hall!"

At this point, Deputy Captain Ma frowned and shook his head. "Deputy Captain You Rui's personality is somewhat like Han Bao's, who has been a support member for over a year. She has never been able to build good relationships with most of the gene warriors, and she often scolds those gene warriors like Xu Chong for their misbehavior. It's been happening frequently over the past year, and quite a few gene warriors have even been severely punished by her. Captain Xu has even occasionally praised Deputy Captain You Rui for this! I don't understand why Captain Xu would suddenly turn against Deputy Captain You Rui?"

Furthermore, Captain Xu's strength is indeed beyond the capabilities of a mid-stage eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior like myself. These past two days, I've truly…”

Upon hearing this, Han Liu said resentfully:

"So, Captain Ma, you are also very clear that the discovery of ten female refugee corpses in Deputy Captain You Rui's residence by Xu Chong was a setup by Captain Xu to frame Deputy Captain You Rui and to distort the truth?"

Deputy Captain Ma sighed deeply:
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, given Xu Chong's character, those ten female disaster victims were definitely killed by him and his team members!"
Deputy Captain You Rui isn't a pervert, how could she possibly torture and kill ten female disaster victims for no reason!
Furthermore,

Even if Vice Captain You Rui suddenly went mad and brutally murdered ten female disaster victims,
With her abilities, disposing of those ten corpses would be an incredibly easy task.
How could they possibly allow the bodies of ten female disaster victims to rot and stink in their own homes!
Unfortunately, throughout Vault 36,

And who would dare to say a word against Captain Xu?
Who can really find out the truth about this?
A few days ago, Hu Nong, the leader of Group Three and a top-level ninth-tier gene warrior, was killed by Xu Chong and his men because Xu Chong found two female disaster victims' corpses in his residence. In fact, the real reason behind it was probably just that Hu Nong and Xu Chong had some verbal disputes a few days ago!

Right now, Deputy Captain You Rui has fallen into the hands of Captain Xu and Xu Chong!
In this shelter, among all the survivors, whether gene warriors or the weaker disaster victims, not a single one dared to disobey Captain Xu and Xu Chong's orders!

Upon hearing this, Han Liu could no longer contain himself. His eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and he strode towards the door. "Which damn Captain Xu is so lawless? I want to see just how strong that damn Captain Xu really is! Damn it, today it's either him or him who dies!"

Upon seeing Han Liu's reaction, Deputy Captain Ma's expression immediately changed. He quickly caught up with Han Liu, stood in front of him, and grabbed his arm.

"Xiao Liu, don't shout randomly, be careful, the walls may hear you!"
Captain Xu Rong's special genetic ability is extremely mysterious and powerful. Even I have never seen him use his full strength! Only Commander Huang from the Stone City Ruins knows his genetic ability for sure, and he said in front of dozens of us eighth-tier genetic warriors that in Stone City, no eighth-tier Dragon Elephant genetic warrior can surpass Xu Rong!

Two days ago, when Xu Rong was dealing with Vice Captain You Rui, even though Vice Captain You Rui's strength seemed to have surpassed mine by quite a bit, Xu Rong still couldn't use his special genetic ability. Instead, he was directly defeated in front of twelve powerful automatic weapons!
"If you go looking for them now, you'll either lose your life in vain or end up like Vice Captain You Rui—imprisoned!"

At this moment, Han Liu was burning with anger and didn't listen to what Ma said. He shook off Deputy Captain Ma's arm and continued to walk quickly towards the door with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Deputy Captain Ma turned to Lin Xuankong and said, "Lin Kong, you should persuade Han Liu not to act so impulsively!"

Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly.
"If Xu Rong hadn't imprisoned or severely injured Vice Captain You Rui, it would have been fine. But since he did it, he definitely has to bear the consequences!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Deputy Captain Ma looked anxious.
"What consequences? You two are just ninth-tier gene warriors. What consequences could you expect from a top-tier eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warrior? Besides, there are a large number of automated weapons in the shelter, with terrifying power!" (End of Chapter)
