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

After a while,

The silent crowd focused all their attention on Lin Xuankong, waiting for his decision.

Needless to say, Han Liu and Han Bao, having followed Lin Xuankong for nearly a month, already held their teacher in the highest esteem. Without Lin Xuankong, they would undoubtedly have become prey for the predatory source beasts long ago. In this critical moment of life and death, they would certainly follow Lin Xuankong's lead without question!
Ma Long, biologist Li Pingfei, and Vice Captain You Rui were all impressed by Lin Xuankong's strength after he returned to Shelter No. 36. Vice Captain You Rui, in particular, was convinced that if Lin Xuankong hadn't killed Xu Rong, she would have been killed by him. The three of them greatly admired Lin Xuankong and naturally hoped that he could come up with a solution.

Lin Xuankong pondered for a long time, then raised his eyebrows, seemingly having made up his mind.

He glanced at everyone and slowly began to speak:

"Shelter Thirty-Six still has a large number of automatic and heavy machine guns that can pose a threat to seventh-tier tyrannical source beasts!"

"If we were to leave this place with tens of thousands of refugees, and then encounter a seventh-tier tyrant-level source beast in the ruins, not only would we be unable to care for those refugees, but we ourselves would also be left to fight on our own due to the lack of a large number of automatic and heavy machine guns!"

At this point, Lin Xuankong looked out the window and said in a deep voice, "Stone City, once a huge city with tens of millions of people, covers a vast area. Now that it has become a ruin, it has housed countless Source Beast communities! In the two years since the Source Beast Disaster broke out, countless Source Beast communities have continued to breed and evolve in the ruins of Stone City, and a large number of eighth-tier predator-level Source Beasts have already appeared! As for the Tyrannical-level Source Beasts, since three shelters, including Shelter No. 40, have been attacked by Tyrannical-level Source Beasts, it is very likely that there are more than just one or two Tyrannical-level Source Beasts that have evolved in Stone City!"
There's a saying that goes something like this: when you find one cockroach in the kitchen, you don't know how many more have already appeared in the corners of the kitchen!
Since the Tyrannical-level Source Beasts have already appeared nearby, it means that there are likely a great many Tyrannical-level Source Beasts already!
After all, Han Bao witnessed the devastation and destruction of those three shelters firsthand. How much more did Han Bao and we not see?
Gentlemen, in my opinion, instead of blindly fleeing everywhere, we should leverage the collective strength of everyone in Vault 36 to make it even more fortified, transforming it into a fortress capable of withstanding Level 7 Brutal Source Beasts, and even more powerful ones!

After a moment of silence, everyone nodded upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words.

Han Liu was the first to step forward and said, "Xu Rong planned to use those automatic weapons to attack Master Lin, but I used my special ability to damage some of the rough metal parts of those automatic weapons. However, those automatic weapons were not completely destroyed, and the damage was not too severe! As long as we can find some mechanical and electronic personnel in Shelter 36, we should have a chance to repair those automatic weapons!"

Upon hearing Han Liu's words, the white-haired biologist Li Pingfei spoke up: "Xiao Lu, who came with me, was once a well-known physicist in Shicheng, as well as an expert in engineering and mechanics. As long as there are spare parts for those automatic weapons in Shelter 36, he can find a way to repair them! Even if there aren't enough spare parts in Shelter 36, he can still repair half of the automatic weapons by patching things up!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, "Alright, then the first task will be assigned to you, Han Liu. You are responsible for finding that Xiao Lu, and then finding some people who are proficient in mechanical and electronic repair from the tens of thousands of refugees in Shelter No. 36, and repairing those automated weapons as soon as possible!"

"Go and do it right away. Anyway, you have a large amount of source beast flesh and blood as food and rewards. As long as the rewards are enough, motivating those disaster victims won't be a problem!"

Han Liu straightened up, chuckled, and gave a military salute. "Your subordinate obeys! Hehehe!"

After Han Liu quickly left the office, Lin Xuankong looked at the remaining people and continued:

"Han Liu has taken charge of the defense of Vault 36, but someone still needs to be in charge of reconnaissance."

Hearing Lin Xuankong say this, You Rui stood up with a serious expression. "Leave this mission to me! Previously, in Shelter 36, there were four Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors who awakened special abilities related to vision. The four of them have been in charge of reconnaissance missions for Shelter 36!"

However, under Xu Chong's management, the reconnaissance missions of these people were quite lax, and they rarely went to the roof of the tallest residential building in Shelter No. 36 to keep watch!

However, you should be quite confident leaving this task to me!

Lin Xuankong nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Instructor You Rui. With your special abilities from the Dragon Elephant gene, carrying out reconnaissance and sentry duties, even if there were cloud beasts hiding deep in the sky wanting to launch a surprise attack on Vault 36, it wouldn't be an easy task!"

You Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, "I will not fail you!"

Lin Xuankong then looked at Ma Long, "Deputy Captain Ma has been in charge of the distribution of YZMM gene serum in Shelter 36. He should be very familiar with the situation of the tens of thousands of refugees in Shelter 36."

Next, Deputy Captain Ma was responsible for organizing these disaster victims and assigning them jobs. It was unknown how long this source beast disaster would last. If they only relied on the supplies sent from Shelter No. 1, wouldn't tens of thousands of people starve to death if Shelter No. 1 were to be destroyed?
Therefore, we must find a way to be self-reliant. As for how to be self-reliant, how to obtain a continuous supply of food, whether through planting or raising livestock, that's up to you, Deputy Captain Ma!

Upon hearing this, Malone frowned.

Shelter No. 36, though consisting of a dozen or so reinforced residential buildings and occupying a large area, was essentially just a medium-to-large residential community from before the disaster! Such a community could only provide housing for tens of thousands of disaster victims; turning it into a food production base was by no means a simple matter!

However, Malone was also very clear that Lin Xuankong's statement was definitely very reasonable. If the source beast disaster continued and the source beasts became stronger and stronger, the supply transport channel of Shelter No. 1 could indeed be cut off at any time. If the tens of thousands of people in Shelter No. 36 wanted to survive, the food source had to be taken into consideration!
The importance of food sources is no less than that of the defense work Han Liu was in charge of, or the reconnaissance mission You Rui was in charge of!

"Mr. Lin, I will do my best to arrange it!" Ma Long gave a military salute and said with a solemn expression.

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then looked at the white-haired biologist, Li Pingfei.
"Mr. Li, I have a lot of source beast flesh, bones, hides, scales, and claws here, no less than tens of thousands of catties."

It all depends on whether you can synthesize the YZMM gene serum from the substances in the flesh and blood of these source beasts, or extract the substances from their bones, skin, scales, and claws to synthesize SW alloy!
If we can refine and synthesize the YZMM gene serum, there will be at least several hundred gene warriors among the tens of thousands of people in Vault 36! If that happens, Vault 36 will become the most populous, powerful, and stable vault in the entire Stone City ruins, capable of protecting the tens of thousands of ordinary people residing there!

Although Li Pingfei's hair was completely white, he was extremely vigorous. He carefully examined Lin Xuankong and nodded with a smile:
"Mr. Lin's arrangements just now were both a response to the immediate threats and a long-term plan for the future; they were truly well-organized. I believe that the tens of thousands of disaster victims in Shelter No. 36 are extremely fortunate to have met someone like Mr. Lin!"
As for the matter of refining and synthesizing the YZMM gene agent that Mr. Lin mentioned, leave it to this old man and don't worry!

Give me three or four days and enough metal and electronic materials, and I can get that guy Xiao Lu to tinker with a machine that can refine YZMM gene potions. If Mr. Lin really has tens of thousands of kilograms of source beast flesh and blood and other materials, that would be even better. I guarantee that I can produce several thousand doses of YZMM gene potions within ten days!
More than 100,000 catties of source beast flesh and blood. Xu Rong was the captain of Shelter No. 36 for almost two years. During that time, all the source beasts he and his men killed probably didn't amount to more than 10,000 catties of source beast flesh and blood!
Mr. Lin is indeed extraordinary—no, he's an exceptionally gifted genetic expert! Hahahaha!

The elderly man with white hair spoke with a firm gaze and a confident demeanor.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuankong smiled and nodded. After a moment's thought, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Is it possible for Mr. Li to resume his research on the third-generation YZMM gene serum, which he mentioned earlier? If Mr. Li can truly develop a third-generation YZMM gene serum that can turn most ordinary people into gene warriors, then there could be tens of thousands of gene warriors in Vault 36. In the future, countless gene warriors could emerge throughout the Tang Kingdom. At that time, with talents emerging in abundance and geniuses as numerous as clouds, there would be no need to worry about the future of the Tang Kingdom and humanity!"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired Li Pingfei sighed softly and shook his head, saying:

Research on third-generation YZMM gene-modifying agents was interrupted decades ago.
Continuing the research project from back then is not an easy task. After all, the old guys who studied gene potions with me back then are probably all dead. Even those who are still alive are scattered all over the world. In this era of source beast disaster, where can we find so many talented people who are dedicated to research?

Extracting and synthesizing the second-generation YZMM gene agent was not difficult, but the research on the third-generation YZMM gene agent was extremely difficult. This kind of research project was extremely large and difficult, and it was simply beyond the capabilities of an old man like me who was about to die!

This process often requires hundreds of thousands or even millions of tons of source beast flesh and blood as research materials, and also requires thousands or tens of thousands of human volunteers to serve as experimental subjects for this research!
Mr. Lin, this matter is probably beyond the capabilities of Vault 36. Only a country like Tang, which controls hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of genetically engineered soldiers, would have the resources to conduct such research and experiments!

Upon hearing Mr. Li Pingfei's words, Lin Xuankong frowned and thought to himself:
Therefore, the research on the third-generation YZMM gene therapy is not something that can be accomplished overnight!
This matter can only be put aside for now. The most urgent thing at hand is how to deal with the possible appearance of a seventh-order tyrannical source beast!

After a while,

Everyone went off to make their own arrangements and get busy with their own things.

Lin Xuankong stood by the window of You Rui's office, looking out towards Shelter No. 40.

A seventh-tier, brutal-level source beast would definitely be difficult for Lin Xuankong to deal with with his current strength!

In this primordial universe, there exists an almost insurmountable chasm between life forms of different ranks.
For example, Lin Xuankong's water-drawing technique is extremely powerful, but it can only instantly drain the water from life forms below his own life level!
For example, Han Liu's Void Devouring Insects are incredibly powerful, capable of devouring almost anything, yet they are completely unable to break through the defenses of life forms at a higher level than him, unless he takes advantage of the opponent's carelessness and attacks their weak points!

For example, Han Bao's awakened Primordial Vajra Body has almost invincible defensive power, but it is only effective against life forms of the same level and life forms below his level. If he encounters a powerful source beast that is above his level, the Primordial Vajra Body's defense will not be able to resist the opponent's attack!

In this cultivation world where the levels of life are clearly defined, it is almost impossible for an eighth-order life form to challenge a seventh-order tyrannical-level source beast. This is only in a one-on-one situation. If the source beasts attacking Shelter No. 36 are several tyrannical-level source beasts, then an eighth-order life form like Lin Xuankong would have absolutely no chance of winning!

Despite this thought, Lin Xuankong's gaze remained resolute, for he knew that every great danger also meant a great opportunity!
If I had the chance to transform Vault 36 into an impregnable fortress...

And if they possess more heavy machine guns capable of suppressing seventh-tier tyrannical-level source beasts,

With the help of Han Liu, Han Bao, You Rui, Princess Little Fat Snake, and others, and with the attacks of his ranged abilities such as the Frost Blade, Water Drawing Technique, and Void Devouring Insect, he might actually be able to successfully ambush a seventh-tier tyrannical source beast amidst the chaos of the great battle!

If one can create an opportunity to defeat a seventh-tier tyrannical-level source beast, it means obtaining a tyrannical-level source stone crystal, and even more so, it means having the opportunity to advance to the seventh-tier life form!

A fiery glint appeared in Lin Xuankong's eyes. (End of Chapter)
