181: Breakthrough in human gene research!

Central Plains District.

This is where the Great Xia Imperial Capital is located. Due to the drastic changes in the world, communications everywhere have been interrupted, and information exchange between regions has fallen into a predicament.

Therefore, even though there were no warlords carving out territories in Great Xia, it temporarily caused a state of disconnection between various regions.

The Imperial Capital's directives could not be issued in a timely manner, and similarly, the Imperial Capital could not receive news from other places in a timely manner.

Both sides seemed like isolated islands, each relying on their current situation to resist fierce beasts.

But even the Central Plains District, the core of Great Xia, cannot be fully controlled now, especially some areas with many fierce beasts, which have become forbidden zones for humans.

Currently, fierce beasts are rampant, and the ultimate weapons previously mastered by humans are still unable to deter the now powerful fierce beasts, and may even provoke more frantic retaliation from them!

At this moment, inside the Imperial Capital's research lab, a weapons expert found Professor Xia Xinyu, "Professor Xia, how is the genetic engineering research progressing?"

"If we don't have a means to threaten these fierce beasts soon, our Great Xia... I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the rampaging fierce beasts."

Hearing this, Professor Xia Xinyu nodded slightly, revealing a smile, "Currently, the success rate of gene potions has reached eighty percent!"

"Let's take the corpse of a Fourth-Tier fierce beast as an example."

He invited the other party to sit down and spoke with concrete data, "Such a corpse can most likely create several Third-Tier warriors, and they can also acquire the fierce beast's talent!"

"If this warrior can perfectly match the fierce beast's bloodline genes, then after taking the gene potion, he can reach the peak of Third-Tier!"

Hearing such a high success rate, the expert slapped his thigh, incredibly excited, "Excellent!"

"In that case, if we can obtain the corpse of a Fifth-Tier fierce beast, wouldn't we be able to cultivate a large number of Fourth-Tier, or even peak Fourth-Tier powerhouses?"

His eyes held reverence as he stared intently at Professor Xia Xinyu, making the latter give a wry smile, "Theoretically, yes."

"However, Fifth-Tier fierce beasts... humans have never successfully slain one yet."

Speaking of this, Professor Xia Xinyu thought of Xia Fan, "Moreover, Fifth-Tier fierce beasts are already beings that have undergone a complete transformation. The difficulty of dealing with them skyrockets by at least tens, or even hundreds of times!"

The expert fell silent, lost in thought.

Although he understood this principle, the fierce beasts were growing stronger, and if humans remained stagnant, they would eventually face extinction.

After thinking for a moment, the expert's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then... is it possible for a gene warrior to acquire the talents of two fierce beasts?"

"This isn't a simple one plus one, as powerful fierce beasts currently have at least two talents, and dealing with them is no small feat."

"This... related research is still underway."

Professor Xia Xinyu spoke truthfully, as he also deeply wished to achieve such a feat. As he spoke, a glimmer of light burst forth in his eyes, "If this research can succeed, my Great Xia will be able to gradually grow stronger in this great era!"

"Commander!"

At the same time, in an office, a soldier rushed in, his expression extremely anxious, "According to our investigation, Liushan City in the northern Central Plains District is under siege by fierce beasts. The troops there are almost unable to hold on!"

"They are desperately seeking reinforcements!"

Hearing this, the commander stood up abruptly, his face extremely grim, "Damn it!"

"They are truly becoming more and more audacious."

As his voice fell, he immediately ordered, "Immediately dispatch gene warriors to provide support!"

"Remember, you must ensure the safety of the civilians. If you truly cannot win, let the civilians evacuate first!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, a fighter jet departed from the Imperial Capital, soaring into the sky with a roar.

Inside the fighter jet's cabin were seven people, all Third-Tier powerhouses, their faces filled with indignation, "Damn those fierce beasts, trying to run rampant while humans lack powerhouses!"

"This time, we must teach them a good lesson and make these beasts understand that humans are not to be trifled with!"

"Exactly!"

The other Third-Tier powerhouses all nodded in agreement, their eyes flashing with killing intent.

At the same time, four people were flying alongside the fighter jet, directly in the sky, relying on their own talents.

Although they said nothing at the moment, after exchanging glances, they all showed their determination to fight the fierce beasts to the death!

They had all received injections of gene potions made from Fourth-Tier fierce beast genes and had now advanced to become Third-Tier gene powerhouses.

At this moment, the seven Third-Tier powerhouses on the plane subconsciously gathered by the porthole, looking down, and then a smile appeared on their faces, "With it there, the Imperial Capital should be fine."

"It's not just fine, it's impregnable!"

Another Third-Tier powerhouse looked proudly at the willow tree, "It is our Imperial Capital's guardian, and also the guardian deity of Great Xia!"

In their line of sight, there was a ten-thousand-foot-tall willow tree in the Imperial Capital. The willow tree exuded an extremely powerful aura, and the semi-circular defensive shield extending from its canopy alone could encompass the entire Imperial Capital.

It was precisely because of the protection of this willow tree that the Imperial Capital had always remained peaceful.

A Third-Tier powerhouse sighed with emotion, "I still remember, the last time a Fifth-Tier fierce beast came to invade the Imperial Capital, that beast rampaged for a long time, even in a furious rage, but still couldn't break through the willow tree's defense."

"I truly hope the willow tree grows stronger and stronger..."

...Liushan City.

Here, a Fourth-Tier fierce beast was wreaking havoc, but its violent roars could not cause panic among the city's residents, because the eleven Third-Tier powerhouses who had arrived as reinforcements were all present and were now fully besieging the Fourth-Tier fierce beast.

Some residents even stood on the city walls, cheering on these Third-Tier powerhouses, "Kill this beast!"

"Although the world has changed drastically and fierce beasts have grown stronger, we humans are not to be bullied!"

"These damned beasts, relying on their thick hides, think they can do whatever they want. Today, we'll teach it a harsh lesson!"

While the civilians cheered, the gene warrior captain calmly gave orders, "Three people go to the beast's left flank. There's a clear weakness under its armpit. Find an opportunity to break through!"

"And three more, fly to the top of its head and block its retreat. Everyone else go to its right flank and attack with full force!"

"Understood..."

Although this Fourth-Tier fierce beast was formidable, being simultaneously besieged by so many human Third-Tier gene warriors, it could only retreat in a desperate state!
