At this mont, in Nanmu City, Xie Jun was in his room fiddling with a shoulder-fired rocket launcher, ecstatic with joy.
This was what he had managed to retrieve with great effort from the heavy artillery warehouse of the military command training base in Nanmu City after ordering the removal of the thick snow. It was intact and ca with 3 rockets.
In addition, he also unearthed 6 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, various bullets, and over a dozen boxes of grenades.
"MD, Yang Xiao, I’m not afraid of how formidable you are. This ti, I’m gonna blast you with one shot, and those two Giant Eagles in the sky, one shot each, boom, boom!"
Xie Jun, during his military academy training, was quite skilled with various firearms.
After the last failure to attack Xianan University, he went back and thought for a long ti, really unable to find a better way to quickly improve his Genetic Plan level in the short term. In the winter season, without Mutated Creatures to hunt, there were no Genetic Fragnts to improve the Genetic Evolution Level.
After much thought, he rembered the heavy artillery warehouse of the forr military command training base, located about ten kiloters away from the urban area on a mountain in the northern suburbs.
If he could find so heavy weapons there, wouldn’t he be able to deal with Yang Xiao?
Xie Jun still believed that, in the early post-apocalyptic era, Earth’s firearms could still counteract those Cultivation Techniques derived from Genetic Evolution.
So, he took Zhou Hua to the heavy artillery warehouse in the suburbs, but was dumbfounded upon arrival.
The three-story warehouse had completely collapsed, covered by 3 ters of snow, and beneath the snow lay several ters of debris and broken bricks. To find anything in there was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even if sothing was found, it might already have been crushed.
"Search, even if it takes digging three feet into the ground, we must find it. It’s just snow and rubble, isn’t it? Get them all cleared away; there are bound to be so good things to find."
"Brother Jun, we also need to avoid secondary damage. Otherwise, those firearms might be difficult to use if damaged."
Zhou Hua said.
"Then use hands, clear the snow with shovels, move away the bricks underneath one by one. If you want to defeat Yang Xiao and take the title of Nanmu City King as soon as possible, this is the only way."
Zhou Hua called over a hundred people, and every day they used their hands and simple tools to dig through the snow and soil, eventually uncovering the buried heavy equipnt.
During this period, the noises from Yang Xiao and others breaking the ice in the river close to the city area had startled Xie Jun’s people. Stealthily moving through the dense fog, they vaguely saw Yang Xiao and others fishing in the icy river.
"Brother Jun, the people over there are breaking ice and fishing in Star River."
"Fishing? Heh, they must be out of food, right?"
Xie Jun laughed.
He had never worried about food, as the hundreds of large supermarkets in the urban area stored enough food to last his roughly ten thousand people for several years.
In the past, they hunted Mutated Creatures for Genetic Fragnts, but after entering winter, everyone had nothing to do, huddling in the subway station passageways or in nearby buildings that hadn’t collapsed.
"Getting food is just one aspect; digging up Ice Fish should also yield Genetic Fragnts, right?"
Zhou Hua said.
Xie Jun laughed and replied:
"How many Genetic Fragnts can one fish produce? Even if you could get ten complete Genetic Disks, a thousand fish would only give you ten thousand Genetic Disks, still not enough for one person to advance to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage. Let them dig, don’t disturb them, let them be happy. Once I’ve found the rocket launcher, I’ll just blast them with one shot."
At that ti, Yang Xiao and Xia Luo had been frustrated for a while, wondering why Xie Jun and his people had never interfered with their Ice Fish digging.
Yang Xiao had then discussed with Xia Luo that they temporarily should not improve their Genetic Evolution Level, so as not to be noticed by Xie Jun. As long as their Genetic Evolution Level was not raised, Xie Jun would think that their ice digging was futile, at best just for a bite to eat.
Xie Jun sat in his executive chair, shouldering the rocket launcher, aiming at the door.
The door opened, and Zhou Hua rushed in excitedly, holding another identical rocket launcher.
"Brother Jun, so aweso, we’ve excavated another complete rocket launcher, and a box of rockets, ten in total."
"Really?"
Xie Jun jumped up from his executive chair.
He carefully examined the new rocket launcher, confirming it was undamaged, and excitedly said:
"Zhou Hua, this world is destined to be ours. You and I each shouldering a rocket launcher, where can Yang Xiao and Xia Luo run to? I’ll just aim at them and fire, boom! They’ll be blown sky-high, hahaha...."
Suddenly, a rush of urgent footsteps ca running over, soone shouted,
"Brother Jun, it’s not good, it’s not good..."
One of Brother Jun’s underlings panted as he ran inside.
Xie Jun was taken aback and said,
"What’s all the panic about?"
"Brother Jun, it’s not good, across the river at Xianan University and Kongming Academy..."
Xie Jun was startled and exclaid,
"They’re attacking us?"
"No?"
"Slap!"
Xie Jun slapped him right across the face.
"Damn it, you scared the crap out of , can’t you just speak normally? Why do you have to start with sothing so frightening?"
The underling was struck dumb, paused for a mont, then spoke quickly in one breath,
"The Genetic Evolution Level at Xianan University and Kongming Academy suddenly jumped to 10!"
"10?"
Xie Jun and Zhou Hua stared at the underling who brought the news, dumbfounded. Silence filled the room, broken only by the popping sound from the charcoal fire burning at the center of the house.
Xie Jun finally snapped out of it, fixed his gaze on the informant and asked,
"Did you just say, the Genetic Evolution Level at Xianan University and Kongming Academy across the river has jumped to 10?"
"Uh-huh!"
The underling nodded.
"How do you know?"
"I just entered the Genetic Store, wanted to buy a couple of Small Blood Pills, and accidentally glanced at the map on the wall. I saw their light had increased a lot, so I went over to take a closer look, and it turns out they’ve jumped to 10."
Xie Jun took a sharp intake of breath, grabbed the Fire Arrow Quiver and dashed out of the room, quickly rushing out of Century Comrcial Building towards a nearby Genetic Store.
Zhou Hua hurriedly followed.
Xie Jun stord into the Genetic Store, ran up to the map, and stared blankly.
"10, it’s really 10!"
After a few seconds of pause, Xie Jun turned his head towards the counter and said,
"Old man, is there sothing wrong with this map?"
The old man at the Genetic Store chuckled and said,
"This map is crafted by the Mystical Sect Secret Technique, how could it break so easily?"
"If it’s not broken, then why the sudden jump from 8 to 10? It was 8 the day before yesterday when I looked."
"Hehe, if it jumped to 10, then there’s naturally a reason for it."
"What does jumping to 10 signify?"
"What does it signify? Hmm, at least one person must have reached the Primordial Gene Interdiate Stage, and over thirty people the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, roughly sothing like that."
Hearing this, Xie Jun’s head buzzed as if it was about to explode.
