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

A shocking secret!
To become a top-tier eighth-order Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior in a short period of time!
Although Vice Captain Malone didn't know what the earth-shattering secret Xu Rong was talking about was, he had to admit that for every gene warrior, such a secret and such a temptation were incredibly alluring!
but,

Vice Captain Ma Long shook his head at Xu Rong with a solemn expression.

"You may indeed possess some great secret, some trick that allows gene warriors to grow rapidly, but do you think I would trust you?"

Upon hearing what Vice Captain Malone said,

Xu Rong shook his head slightly, "It seems you're unwilling to share with me the secret to You Rui becoming a top-tier eighth-order gene warrior in just over twenty days. In that case, then die!"

"Fire!"

Xu Rong suddenly roared, and his voice instantly reached every automatic firearm in the entire No. 36 shelter!

His voice was so loud that even the disaster victims peeking out from behind the windows of every apartment building couldn't help but shudder and tremble.

however,
The scene that Xu Rong had anticipated—a large number of automatic cannons firing simultaneously—did not occur.
Those intelligent automatic weapons that had recorded his voiceprint and were controlled solely by him were completely silent, as if they were all "dead"!
Vice Captain Malone, who was ready to jump away quickly, couldn't help but look with some confusion at the automatic weapons on the high-rise buildings of the surrounding residential buildings.

These weapons are extremely powerful. Even a seventh-tier tyrannical source beast could withstand them. Just two days ago, they completely suppressed Vice Captain You Rui, whose strength was comparable to Xu Rong's, and almost took her life. After all, the alloy bullets of these automatic weapons are eighth-tier alloy bullets, and their firing speed is close to the fastest speed that a mid-eighth-tier gene warrior can achieve!

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Xu Rong was clearly surprised as well, and couldn't help but repeat it loudly.

For the first time, a clear look of doubt appeared on his usually calm face.

In his memory, these automated weapons, personally crafted by a powerful individual in the Tang Kingdom who possessed the genetic ability to manipulate metal elements, had never malfunctioned, whether in Shelter 36, dozens of other shelters in Stone City, or shelters in other cities in the Tang Kingdom! These automated weapons were crafted with extreme precision and were extremely durable; they only ever misfired after being destroyed!
However, Xu Rong could clearly see that the barrels of the numerous automatic cannons and twelve heavy cannons on the high-rise buildings of the surrounding dozen or so residential buildings were gleaming in the sunlight. Their positions had not changed at all, and the machines were perfectly intact, showing no signs of damage whatsoever!

"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Xu Rong repeated the command for the third time.
Unfortunately, the surroundings remained silent. No automatic cannons spewed flames from their barrels, and no alloy bullets were fired from the barrels of those automatic weapons!

"Commander-in-Chief, have these automatic cannons malfunctioned? But even if they have, they couldn't have all suddenly fallen silent."

Xu Chong stood beside Xu Rong, swallowed hard, and looked extremely pale.

Xu Rong let out a deep breath, waved to Xu Chong to stop him from speaking, and then looked at Ma Long, Han Liu and Lin Xuankong.

His expression returned to calm.
The first person in Vault 36, though slightly flustered by the sudden problem, quickly regained his composure.

"Machines are machines after all, and tools are tools after all; they can never replace gene warriors!"

Besides, killing these three people in front of us doesn't necessarily require these automatic cannons!
"Everyone, listen up! Prepare to focus fire!"

At this point, Xu Rong slowly raised his right hand.

More than a hundred Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors immediately released the safety bolts, loaded their rifles, and all of them aimed their dark muzzles at Lin Xuankong and the others.

Upon seeing this, Malone's expression changed slightly. He immediately took a step back, standing in front of Lin Xuankong and Han Liu, and said in a very low voice, "Although I don't know why all the automatic weapons have stopped firing, this is definitely your best chance to escape. Next, I will try my best to block all the firepower. But I can't hold out for more than a few seconds. You must escape from here in a very short time. I will follow you closely afterward! The three of us are no match for Xu Rong and these more than one hundred gene warriors!"

Upon hearing this, Han Liu chuckled, then turned to Lin Xuankong, "Master Lin, shall I continue?"

All those automatic firearms just now misfired; it was clearly his doing!

The Void Devouring Insect, like Lin Xuankong's Frost Blade, has a limited manifestation range, not too far, such as more than six or seven hundred meters. However, the range of those automatic machine guns is clearly within the Void Devouring Insect's attack range! The chubby yet incredibly agile Void Devouring Insect could easily devour all the bullet belts and magazines of automatic firearms without making a sound!

Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly, walked to Ma Rong, looked at Xu Rong and the other hundred-plus gene warriors, and said:
"Can I say something?"

Xu Rong, who had already raised his right hand to order all the gene warriors to fire simultaneously, saw this little gene warrior, who had only awakened a little over a month ago, step forward and block his way. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. After a moment's thought, he calmly said, "You three are all gene warriors of the Tang Kingdom. Although you have committed a capital offense by betraying the shelter, you can still speak. I want to hear what you have to say before you die!"

Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow slightly and said loudly:
"Xu Chong killed countless disaster victims in Shelter No. 36. I'm sure the gene warriors here know very well how many of them he killed!"

Whether the brutal murder of those ten female disaster victims was committed by Deputy Captain You Rui or secretly carried out by Xu Chong under Xu Rong's command, you should all know very well!

So, I'm here only to rescue Vice Captain You Rui and to kill Xu Chong and Xu Rong!

Personally, I don't think every single genetic warrior present could be a damned bastard!
Therefore, I will give you a way out.
If someone lays down their weapon and leaves the shelter within three seconds, they can survive!
Within three seconds, all the gene warriors who haven't left yet will no longer need to leave!

At this point, Lin Xuankong quietly looked around and said, "One."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rong couldn't help but sneer. At this moment, this former number one expert of Shelter No. 36 was too lazy to even speak!

He felt that replying to the arrogant words of a gene warrior who had only awakened a month ago would be beneath his dignity!
"Two!" Lin Xuankong ignored Xu Rong's sneer and the indifference of all the gene warriors present, and continued to count calmly.

"Screw you, who do you think you are? Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Xu Chong didn't wait for Lin Xuankong to count to three before pulling the trigger of his rifle.

The other hundred or so gene warriors also pulled the triggers of their rifles in unison at Xu Chong's shouts!

"Da da da da da da da da"

A sudden burst of incredibly dense gunfire erupted, and a barrage of sparks flew from alloy bullets aimed at Lin Xuankong, Ma Long, and Han Liu!

Although the alloy bullets used by these rifles are all ninth-tier alloy bullets, there are simply too many of them. Even an eighth-tier source beast would have to retreat and avoid the alloy bullets aimed at its weak points when faced with such a dense barrage of alloy bullets!
But at this moment,
Lin Xuankong, who was standing still, did not take a step back. Instead, he took a step forward and slightly raised his left hand.

Establish time,
A large amount of water vapor rapidly rose from in front of him, instantly forming a wall of ice several meters thick!
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah"

A large number of alloy bullets struck the thick, icy wall.
Ice shards flew everywhere, and many alloy bullets, due to their sufficient kinetic energy, penetrated the ice blocks to a depth of more than a foot!
However, what stood in front of Lin Xuankong was a wall of ice several meters thick and more than a foot deep. How could it affect the defense of this thick ice wall? No matter how many bullets shot in, they formed a small torrent, but they could not shake the huge ice wall!

Standing behind Lin Xuankong, Vice Captain Ma Long, an eighth-tier gene warrior, was shocked to see this scene. His eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you do that? How could a ninth-tier elemental gene warrior condense such a huge ice wall in such a short time? Even if a ninth-tier elemental gene warrior could do that, the source energy in his body would be far from enough to form such a huge ice wall out of thin air, unless, unless you are already an eighth-tier mid-stage or higher elemental gene warrior!"

But, but you've only been awakened for a little over a month. How is that possible? Even Lin Haoyun, the strongest in our Tang Kingdom and the strongest among elemental gene warriors, didn't have such a terrifying and astonishing speed of strength improvement back then.
What exactly did you experience in the ruins of Stone City?
What opportunities did you encounter, and who did you meet?

Deputy Captain Ma Long stared at Lin Xuankong, who was single-handedly resisting a volley of over a hundred alloy rifles, as if he were looking at a monster he had never seen before. Countless questions flooded his mind, and his heart was filled with astonishment!
Standing behind the ice wall, Lin Xuankong coldly watched the gene warriors, their faces filled with astonishment, yet still relentlessly pulling the triggers.

"Since that's the case, then you should all die!"

The next moment,
As Lin Xuankong's voice rang out,

All of the more than one hundred Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, except for Xu Chong and Xu Rong, froze in place.

Every dragon-elephant gene warrior had a large amount of moisture floating on their body surface, and their originally muscular and bulging bodies instantly shriveled up, their faces collapsed, and even their eyeballs shrank and disappeared.
The intense gunfire suddenly stopped!

"Plop plop plop"

More than a hundred formidable Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Xu Chong, realizing something was wrong, looked around with disbelief on his face.

He stared at the withered corpses of the dragon-elephant gene warriors scattered on the ground, his face showing an expression of utter disbelief. "This, holy crap, how is this possible? How did he do that? There were over a hundred dragon-elephant gene warriors! Even a seventh-tier life form would have to put in some effort to kill them all! But these hundred-plus dragon-elephant gene warriors, in the blink of an eye, were reduced to this state???"

Shock, panic, disbelief, and other emotions simultaneously assaulted Xu Chong's brain and heart, causing his body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

When he turned to look at Lin Xuankong again, the thick ice wall that had been blocking them had suddenly disappeared and transformed into a large number of ice blades floating in mid-air, the tips of which were all pointed at him and Xu Rong!
"You and I."

Under intense emotional turmoil, Xu Chong, whose whole body was trembling slightly, began to stutter and was unable to utter a complete sentence!

Just now, surrounded by more than a hundred Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors and protected by Xu Rong, the strongest person in Shelter No. 36, he felt that victory was in his grasp and that Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and Ma Long were all doomed to die!

But at this moment
He suddenly realized how close he was to death!
He knew very well that since Lin Xuankong could turn more than a hundred strong Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors into dried-up corpses in an instant, Lin Xuankong could also turn him, a ninth-level Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, into something like those Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors lying on the ground in an instant!

The sense of security I had just felt had completely vanished.
He felt a little short of breath.

For the first time, he felt the despair, helplessness, and panic that the weak disaster victims felt in front of them, the Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors!

in addition,

Xu Chong wasn't a fool.

He knew perfectly well that Lin Xuankong had turned more than a hundred ninth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors into dried corpses with a wave of his hand, but had spared him. It was definitely not because Lin Xuankong had any goodwill towards him. More likely, this guy with terrifying, devilish methods in front of him did not intend to let him die so easily and painlessly!

"Captain... he..." In his panic, Xu Chong dared not look at Lin Xuankong anymore, and instead moved closer to Xu Rong.

But when he got close to Xu Rong,
He had just clearly seen that his cousin Xu Rong, whom he had always admired and relied on, the former number one expert in Shelter No. 36, now looked at Lin Xuankong with a hint of panic in his eyes!
This slightly flustered expression,

Xu Chong had never seen that on Xu Rong's face.

Even when Shelter Thirty-Six was besieged by several predatory source beasts,
This expression had never appeared on Xu Rong's face before; Xu Rong always wore a calm and composed expression. But today, it was different! (End of Chapter)
