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

have to say,

At this moment, Zhu Ling was quite taken aback by Lin Xuankong, this guy who had suddenly appeared.

She still held onto that tiny bit of hope, after all, she had no other choice or other hope at the moment!

Although deep down, Zhu Ling's hope was only a tiny, pitifully small sliver!

Upon hearing Zhu Ling's words, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but smile again.
He nodded and smiled at Zhu Ling:
"Okay, it's a deal!"

After speaking, Lin Xuankong took a large step forward.

He was already standing on the edge of the top floor, but this one big step sent him straight into the air, and then he plummeted straight down.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Ling gasped softly and quickly walked to the edge of the rooftop to look outside. When she saw what was happening before her, her eyes widened in shock, and she froze in place.

The other four newly awakened Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, along with the support team members still on the top floor, all gasped in surprise upon seeing this scene. They all craned their necks towards the edge of the top floor to look down, and then exclaimed in unison again.

Contrary to Zhu Ling and the others' expectations, Lin Xuankong did not plummet straight from the top of the twenty-plus-story building to the ground. Instead, after falling only a few meters, he floated in mid-air, then slowly rose higher and higher, finally gracefully flying to a spot a few meters in front of them.

Zhu Ling, the four newly awakened Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, and the auxiliary security team members stared blankly at Lin Xuan Kong floating in mid-air, their mouths slightly agape, and for a long time no one made a sound.

Lin Xuankong nodded to Zhu Ling, then turned and flew away into the distance, directly to the gate of Shelter No. 35, where he floated in mid-air.

This scene,
This was a scene I had never witnessed before.
Everyone's face was filled with shock, including the disaster victims who had poured out of their residential buildings after hearing the broadcast by the tall and strong woman, Lu Yun.

Soon, Lu Yun, a tall and strong woman who was broadcasting from the radio station, also noticed that something was wrong on the top floor. Somewhat puzzled, she quickly walked out of the broadcast room, ran to the edge of the top floor, and followed the gaze of Zhu Ling and the others towards the door of Shelter No. 35. The scene that came into view made the tall and strong woman's face show surprise.

"How did Captain Zhu do that? Even the captain of our 35th Shelter, a late-stage 8th-tier Dragon Elephant Warrior, couldn't possibly float in mid-air! Even Commander Huang, the number one in the Stone City Ruins, who is known as a mid-stage 7th-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, could never walk on air!"

A newly awakened Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior standing next to Zhu Ling was stunned for a long time before gradually coming to his senses and couldn't help but ask.

The other three Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, along with the auxiliary security team members, including the tall and strong woman Lu Yun, couldn't help but look at Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling frowned for a moment before letting out a long breath and saying, "It seems that there is really a glimmer of hope for our Vault 35. Perhaps this powerful elemental gene warrior can really save the entire Vault 35!"

Everyone present was stunned again upon hearing this, and the tall and strong woman Lu Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Ling, what did you say? You said that this young man, this young man floating in the distance, is an elemental gene warrior?"

Zhu Ling nodded slightly, a glimmer of hope appearing in her leopard eyes, and said:

"You only saw him floating in mid-air, but didn't you notice that there was a cold, sharp blade of ice emanating from beneath his feet?"
"To be able to conjure ice blades out of thin air, to manipulate them at will, to float in mid-air and walk on air—if not an elemental gene warrior, then what could be more powerful than a god?"

“That’s how it is.”

Upon hearing Zhu Ling's words, a glimmer of hope quickly appeared in Lu Yun's eyes. Gazing at Lin Xuankong's back, floating in mid-air near the entrance to Shelter No. 35, she murmured:

"Ling'er, if you really found ice blades under his feet just now, then it means he is indeed a true elemental gene warrior!"

But our Stone City ruins have never produced any elemental gene warriors. Even in the entire Tang Kingdom with its population of over a billion and hundreds of thousands of gene warriors, the number of elemental gene warriors is only around a hundred. Those elemental gene warriors are all cultivated by top conglomerates, top families, and top powers using endless resources!
Each elemental gene warrior is said to be almost invincible among those of the same rank, capable of fighting against ten or even dozens of dragon-elephant gene warriors of the same rank, or even more than ten source beasts of the same rank!

However, every elemental gene warrior holds an extraordinary position in the Tang Kingdom, guarding the most important cities in the country. It is impossible for a top conglomerate, a top family, or a major power to send their most valuable and powerful elemental gene warriors to a ruined city like Stone City!

Which top-tier conglomerate or powerful family is he an elemental gene warrior from?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling shook her head vigorously. "How would I know which major family or top conglomerate's elemental gene warrior he is? However, the most important thing is that since he has come to Shelter 35 and is standing in front of its gate, he might actually be able to stop that large pack of canine source beasts. In that case, the tens of thousands of refugees in Shelter 35 will truly have a chance to survive, or at least, this deadly crisis might be averted!"

Upon hearing this, the tall and strong woman, Lu Yun, remained silent for a moment before speaking with some worry:

"Hopefully, but even an elemental gene warrior would need a few helpers to fight against such a large pack of canine source beasts, unless he is a super powerful elemental gene warrior at the seventh-tier life level who can easily crush this large pack of canine source beasts!"

"A seventh-order life form!"

"Is he a seventh-order life form?" Many of the auxiliary security team members and Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors present exclaimed in unison.

The strongest gene warrior they had encountered and witnessed in recent years was Commander Huang, the number one figure in the Stone City Ruins. As for more powerful gene warriors, they rarely showed their faces during peacetime! How could they not be surprised to hear what the tall and strong woman Lu Yun said!

"It shouldn't be a seventh-order life form."

I could see the special colored light waves emitted by the energy fluctuations he released when he activated his source energy.

I'm pretty sure his energy fluctuations are extremely similar to those of Captain Lin, who has already left Vault 35.
However, its color is completely different from the two seventh-tier cicada-like tyrannical source beasts that Captain Lin and his group encountered some time ago!

This person's life level and source energy intensity are at most slightly stronger than Captain Lin's. He should be an eighth-order life form, a late-stage or top-tier elemental gene warrior!

My awakened Dragon-Elephant gene's special ability allows me to clearly see the unique color of the fluctuations produced when any life form activates its source energy. There's no mistake!

Zhu Ling spoke with a rather certain expression.

Clearly, although the location where the three captains, including Lei Che, led the armored vehicle convoy to fight the Cicada Tyrants some time ago was far from Vault 35, Zhu Ling clearly saw that battle! This special genetic ability, although different from Captain You Rui's True Eye ability, is a visual special genetic ability and has a similar effect, both of which can see through the life level of others to a certain extent!
Upon hearing Zhu Ling's words, the four Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors and numerous auxiliary security team members present, who had initially shown some hope, immediately became worried.

Even the tall, strong woman, Lu Yun, couldn't help but frown. "A top-tier eighth-order elemental gene warrior is extremely powerful, capable of instantly killing a dragon-elephant gene warrior of the same order, and able to fight against more than a dozen dragon-elephant gene warriors of the same order simultaneously, and even defeat them! However, the large canine source beast horde heading towards Shelter No. 35 consists of more than two hundred powerful late-stage ninth-order source beasts, including a full twenty-eight eighth-order predator-level canine source beasts. If they all swarm him, can he really withstand it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling frowned and said:

"No matter what, with such a top-tier eighth-order elemental gene warrior, everyone in Vault 35 still has some resistance and a small hope of survival!"

At this point, instead of discussing whether this elemental gene warrior can withstand the siege and charge of the large canine source beasts, we should consider how we can do our part!

Even if we are too weak to help this elemental gene warrior relieve much of the pressure, we will do as much as we can!
Tiger and Deer

Xiao Zhuma has a deadline.

The four of you immediately go and inspect all the automatic machine guns, and load all the remaining SW alloy bullets into the machine gun drums!

As for the other auxiliary security team members, if anyone still wants to retreat at this time, they may leave on their own. If anyone feels there is still a glimmer of hope, everyone should prepare all the alloy rifles, find enough manpower, set up all the alloy rifles, and prepare for battle!

Yes. I understand.

Although there was still a trace of worry in everyone's eyes, they were no longer in a state of absolute despair. After hearing Zhu Ling's order, everyone took action and quickly headed towards the stairwell.

The tall, strong woman, Lu Yun, nodded to Zhu Ling. "Alright, no matter how this battle ends, now that there's hope, I'll go help them control the alloy rifles!"

After saying that, the tall and strong woman, Lu Yun, also quickly headed towards the stairwell.

For ordinary people, the massive alloy rifle is not something that one person can operate alone. It requires a control panel, and once it is fired, it takes seven or eight people working together with tools to control it and suppress the powerful recoil of the alloy rifle!

Soon, only Zhu Ling remained on the rooftop, tightly gripping the automatic machine gun controller. As she listened to the sounds of people running, her heart gradually burned with excitement.

especially,
Gazing at Lin Xuankong's back as he floated in mid-air near the entrance to Shelter No. 35 in the distance, she felt her heart beat several times faster!
At this moment, Zhu Ling was absolutely certain that if the person floating at the entrance of Shelter No. 35 could really block the supply of that large pack of canine beasts today, then his back view would be etched in the hearts of everyone in Shelter No. 35, and tens of thousands of people would remember this person's back view forever!
But all of this is predicated on the assumption that it can be done.
Their lives depend on this battle.

This applies to myself, to my aunt, and to everyone in Vault 35!

Hopefully, he can win!
Zhu Ling thought to herself.

Time passed little by little.

The disaster victims who had already gathered outside the residential buildings began to get busy at the call of the security team members. Some pushed over steel frames to support the heavy alloy rifles, some gathered in groups of seven or eight to laboriously carry boxes containing alloy rifle bullets, and some ran quickly to move some bricks to weigh down the steel frames.
In just over ten minutes,
This moment seemed to stretch on endlessly.
Because everyone was in great turmoil, they hoped that this elemental gene warrior floating in mid-air could repel the large canine source beast horde, but they were not sure if this person could do it!
Those disaster victims who couldn't lend a hand returned to their floors, stood by the windows, clenched their hands, and waited anxiously for the battle that would determine their lives to begin! Of course, some more pessimistic disaster victims had already started writing wills. These wills weren't for any particular person, relative, or friend; they were simply their way of leaving a trace in this world, a trace of their existence, even if no one would ever pick them up and read them again.
Gradually, some of the disaster victims standing behind the glass windows of high-rise buildings, looking into the distance, began to breathe rapidly, and their clenched hands gradually turned white at the knuckles!
Because they could clearly see that not far away, at the end of the street facing the Thirty-Five Good Shelter, huge dog-like source beasts, as big as yellow oxen, had begun to appear. These dog-like source beasts had shiny fur and thick limbs. Their fangs, which were bared from their mouths, were constantly flashing in the sunlight!

These disaster victims were well aware that each of these canine beasts possessed extremely terrifying destructive power. Ordinary people were like ants in front of them, and even hundreds or thousands of people could not defeat any one of them!
Their fangs are strong enough to easily bite through steel plates several inches thick. Only armored vehicles made of SW alloy can withstand their terrifying bite force. In their mouths, the bones of ordinary people are more fragile than the softest tofu!
Their defenses are much stronger. Even rifle bullets made of Tier 9 SW alloy cannot damage their combat capabilities unless they hit the eyes or mouth!

At this moment, they charged towards Vault 35; there were over two hundred of them! (End of Chapter)
