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

Five days later,

Inside the office on the 26th floor of the tallest residential building on the right side of the central square.

Han Bao and Lu Ye stood beside Lin Xuankong, looking through the glass window at the street in front of Shelter No. 36. At this moment, dozens of armored vehicles and armored buses were parked in a row on the street, which was filled with various broken bones and debris.

These armored vehicles and buses carried not only genetically engineered warriors from Vault 35, Vault 34, and Vault 33, but also some disaster victims and security personnel closely associated with these genetically engineered warriors.

Next to the foremost armored vehicle,
Five or six extremely tall dragon-elephant gene warriors, each a size larger than Malone, were talking to Vice Captain Yu Rui and Vice Captain Malone.

Han Bao frowned and glanced at it a few times, then said in a deep voice, "The three chiefs of Shelter No. 35, Shelter No. 34, and Shelter No. 33 have indeed abandoned most of the disaster victims in these three shelters. Now, the number of ordinary people in these dozens of armored vehicles and armored buses is probably no more than five hundred!"
The combined number of refugees in Vault 35, Vault 34, and Vault 33 is approximately 120,000. 120,000 living refugees, simply abandoned, left unattended in vaults without a single genetically engineered warrior!

Lu Ye's expression was solemn, and he shook his head slightly, saying, "Perhaps for those 120,000 disaster victims, staying in Shelter 35, Shelter 34, and Shelter 33 would give them a better chance of survival than following this convoy to Shelter 1, which is dozens of kilometers away! After all, this convoy will encounter countless hordes of source beasts on its way to Shelter 1. Without the protection of the thick SW alloy plates of armored vehicles and buses, those ordinary disaster victims would have very little chance of survival!"

If they are unlucky enough to encounter an attack from a horde of seventh-tier source beasts, probably not a single one of the hundreds of thousands of people will survive. Even this armored convoy may not have many survivors!
So, if those disaster victims stayed in the shelters equipped with numerous automatic and heavy machine guns, they might be able to survive for a few more days. However, without gene-engineered warriors and support personnel to maintain order, it's anyone's guess how chaotic things will become in shelters 35, 34, and 33!

Speaking of which,

Lu Ye sighed heavily, no longer looking at the armored convoy, but instead looking through the glass in the direction of Shelter No. 35, Shelter No. 34, and Shelter No. 33.

His eyes held a hint of indignation and sorrow, but he wasn't even a gene warrior anymore. All he could do was try his best to manufacture more automatic weapons, heavy machine guns, and SW alloy bullets to provide more defense for the shelter. He had no ability whatsoever to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees who would soon become food for the source beasts!

"This damned Source Beast disaster! I don't even know what caused it. If this continues, more and more Source Beasts will become stronger and stronger. How many people in Tang Kingdom will survive in the end? The worst part is that, in the face of this disaster, the people of Tang Kingdom do not unite their strength but abandon each other. Is there any hope for Tang Kingdom in the future?" After gazing into the distance for a while, Lu Ye finally couldn't hold back and started cursing.

Seeing Lu Ye's state, Han Bao patted him on the shoulder.

"Those refugees from shelters number 35, 34, and 33, Chief Lin is already preparing to rescue them and move them to our shelter number 36!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's expression froze, and he looked at Lin Xuankong in disbelief.

"Director Lin, is what Captain Han said true?"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, "So, next you need to select more professionals from among the disaster victims in our No. 36 shelter, refine more SW alloy, and manufacture more automatic machine guns and heavy machine guns to be deployed in the nearby disaster victim resettlement buildings!"

After gathering 120,000 disaster victims, food, clothing, and shelter were all problems, but the biggest problem was still defense!
After bringing so many people together, the number of residential buildings needed will probably be at least over a hundred!

He pointed to several residential areas opposite Shelter 36, "By then, those apartment buildings in those areas will be filled with disaster victims, and the corresponding gap in defensive firepower will become very large. After all, the number of gene warriors in Shelter 36 is too pitiful right now. To have enough defensive power, besides building a lot of thick, high-strength walls, we need automatic machine guns and heavy machine guns! Lu Ye, your task will become very heavy!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's face became excited, and he nodded repeatedly, saying:
"I'll have Lao Hu and the others take me to select manpower right now. As long as Director Lin is willing to take in those 120,000 disaster victims who could die at any moment, Lu Ye will be willing to work himself to death!"

Lin Xuankong smiled and shook his head, "You can't work yourself to death. The weapon forging and alloy refining of Shelter Thirty-Six all depend on you as the chief engineer!"

Outside the alloy door of Vault 36
The three captains of Vault 35, Vault 34, and Vault 33 all frowned as they looked at You Rui.
The captain of Vault 33, named Lei Che, spoke with a hint of doubt: "Vice Captain You, even if Captain Xu Rong has decided not to set off with us, shouldn't he at least come out and meet us? Besides, the order to gather all the gene warriors from the vaults and head to Vault 1 was given by Commander Huang of Vault 1. Even Captain Xu Rong shouldn't disobey it!"

Another captain with a fair complexion stepped forward, preparing to walk into Shelter No. 36, and said, "For the past month or so, Captain Xu Rong has not shown his face. Even if he is not setting off with us this time, he should still come out and see us. When we came from Tianjin together, the three of us even joined forces to save his life!"

Upon seeing the fair-skinned captain, Raiche immediately stepped forward and winked at the other captain, preparing to go in together.

"Halt! This is Vault 36, not Vault 35, not Vault 34, and not Vault 33. If you intend to cause trouble here, you can try to see if you can walk in alive!"

A cold voice rang out. Han Liu, who had been standing behind You Rui without saying a word, shook his messy hair and swiftly stepped in front of the three of them. At the same time, the source energy in his body began to circulate at high speed, and the air in front of him fluctuated constantly, as if some powerful object was about to appear from the void in front of him at any moment.

The three captains who had originally planned to force their way through stopped in their tracks, their expressions shifting at the sight of Han Liu. One of them, Captain Lei Che, carefully sensed the situation before hesitantly speaking, "His physique is the same as ordinary disaster victims, without any physical changes, but his speed is comparable to a top-tier ninth-order Dragon-Elephant Gene Warrior! After activating his source energy, the surrounding air fluctuates constantly, as if a special object or creature is about to appear. This is the manifestation of a materialization-type gene warrior using a special gene ability, and the speed reaches that of a top-tier ninth-order Dragon-Elephant Gene Warrior—only a top-tier eighth-order materialization gene warrior can achieve this!"

You...you are a manifested gene warrior at the top level of eighth-order life?

Wasn't Vault 36 supposed to only have Xu Rong, a late-stage Tier 8 gene warrior? When did a top-tier Tier 8 manifested gene warrior, even stronger than him, appear?

The other two captains also looked at Han Liu with astonishment.

Meanwhile, the three other shelter captains dared not take another step. Although they were all Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors with strength comparable to Xu Rong back then, and each possessed their own unique gene abilities, they knew very well that no materialized gene warrior should be underestimated, especially when they didn't know what the opponent's materialized form was!
The three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and each took a few steps back.

The captain, Lei Che, glanced at Han Liu with considerable apprehension before speaking to You Rui, "No wonder Captain Xu Rong disdained to go to Shelter One with the three of us! Judging from Vice Captain You Rui's current physique, she should already be at the peak of the eighth-tier life form level. Adding this manifested gene warrior and Vice Captain Malone, Shelter Thirty-Six now has a total of four eighth-tier gene warriors, and three of them are at the peak of the eighth-tier level. Such strength truly makes them stand out among the surrounding shelters!"

Vice Captain You Rui waved her hand slightly, "Since the three captains understand what's going on, there's no need to waste time here. You can leave on your own. If our Shelter No. 36 intends to depart, we will do so on our own. You all know Xu Rong's personality; he doesn't like to carry burdens!"

Lin Xuankong, You Rui, and the others were clearly unwilling to make the matter of Xu Rong's murder public knowledge right now, mainly because they did not want to fully expose the strength of Shelter Thirty-Six!
Upon hearing Vice Captain You Rui say this,

Lei Che's eye twitched, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, okay,

Your Vault 36 is amazing!

We don't intend to be a burden to your Vault 36!
However, Vice Captain You Rui, you must remember that the Stone City Ruins are not what they used to be. At any time, there is a possibility that a seventh-tier tyrannical source beast will attack the shelter. Eight shelters in Stone City have already been completely destroyed due to the sudden attack of a seventh-tier tyrannical source beast, and not a single gene warrior has escaped. Among them, the two stronger shelters are not much weaker than your No. 36 Shelter now!

The three of us made a special detour to Vault 36, not to rescue Xu Rong and you, but to join forces on the way to Vault 1, so that we would have more strength to fight if we encountered a powerful group of source beasts!
Since Vault 36 doesn't intend to unite, so be it. Just hope you won't regret it when you set off alone!

After speaking, Lei Che waved to the two captains beside him, and the three of them ignored You Rui and Han Liu, turning around and getting into the armored vehicle.

After a while,

With the roar of engines, more than a hundred armored vehicles and armored buses, raising a cloud of dust, drove off down the street into the distance.

Looking at the armored vehicles and armored buses in the distance,
Han Liu spat on the ground and said coldly, "If it weren't for Master Lin's order not to attack these things at will, I would have had the Void Devouring Bugs swallow all their armored vehicles and buses, so that these incredibly selfish creatures would have to hop on their own two legs to get to Shelter One!"

When Deputy Captain You Rui heard Han Liu say this, she couldn't help but laugh. "How many times has Director Lin told you not to use your Void Devouring Insects so casually? You little rascal, you get carried away when you get excited. If I hadn't given you a look just now, you probably would have already materialized your chubby Void Devouring Insects!"

Han Liu, who had been staring coldly at the armored vehicles and buses in the distance, couldn't help but look down when he heard Vice Captain You Rui's words. He shook his head in frustration and said, "Actually, it wasn't because you gave me that wink just now, Captain You. It was because when I was about to use the Void Devouring Insect, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, as if I was being watched by Master Lin!"

At this point, Han Liu turned to look at the top of the 26-story residential building, the tallest building in the shelter, and scratched his messy hair. "I bet Master Lin is watching me from his office!"

Yu Rui couldn't help but giggle.

"You little brat, with three shelter commanders in front of you, you acted like you were ready to fight them at any moment. How come you, such a tough and willful little brat, didn't dare to make a move just because you suspected your master was watching you from upstairs!"

Han Liu waved his hand, "Tch, what are those three so-called shelter captains? Under the attack of the Void Devouring Insects, they'll probably turn into nothingness in a few seconds at most. But Master is different. You know how strong Master Lin is! If I anger Master Lin, I don't know what kind of dirty and tiring work he'll assign me!"
A few days ago, I had a little argument with Brother Leopard, and Master Lin made me dig an underground fortress below Vault 36 using Void Eaters, which completely depleted the source energy I had accumulated over the past half month! Sigh!

At this point, Han Liuyi drooped his head and walked listlessly into Shelter No. 36.

Seeing Han Liu's expression, Vice Captain You Rui couldn't help but laugh again, secretly thinking to herself:
The Void Devouring Insect Manifestation ability is a legendary and terrifying special manifestation ability that can sweep away opponents of the same level. I'm afraid no Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior can resist it. It's perfectly normal for Han Liu, this little guy, to have this special gene ability and to stick his little braid up every day!
However, as the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis. Han Liu, this little guy who always looks so proud, becomes incredibly obedient when facing Lin Suo.
Thinking about it now, it's quite interesting! (End of Chapter)
