"Citizens of City H, the Yanhuang team has successfully established a safe zone at City H University."

"Please, residents within a 5-kilometer radius of City H University, hurry to the university. Be cautious of mutated zombies. You can call for rescue within a 1-kilometer radius of City H University." In front of the computer, Guo Mingyong repeatedly recorded videos and posted them on the City H official website.

"Commander Guo, you've worked hard. You can sit down and rest for a while." After Zhou Yang and his group returned, Zhou Yang said to Guo Mingyong, whose voice was somewhat hoarse.

"General."

Nearby soldiers respectfully saluted Zhou Yang. The civilians originally transferred from Zone C encountered a large mutated monster during the transfer.

The defending soldiers were no match for it. It was only after the fearless divine marquis Zhu Wushui personally intervened that the monster was eliminated.

The number of civilians transferred from Zone C was nearly a thousand. If such a large number fell into the hands of a large mutated monster, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it's likely that none would survive.

Zhou Yang turned to look at the smiling Iron Gall Divine Marquis Zhu Wushui. He had always maintained a stern and serious expression, but now, with the gratitude of the children, he couldn't help but smile.

"Food has been placed outside the school. Quickly lead the soldiers to distribute it." Zhou Yang turned to the worried Guo Mingyong and said. He naturally knew what Guo Mingyong was worried about.

"Yes." Guo Mingyong said excitedly. The importance of food in a safe zone was self-evident. Without food, the safe zone would become a danger zone.

"Commander~" The communicator tugged at the excited Guo Mingyong, blinking his eyes as if urging him to say something.

Guo Mingyong's smile froze, but he didn't say anything and quickly walked out the door.

"Commander Guo, is there something?" Zhou Yang called out to Guo Mingyong.

"Commander!" The communicator called out. Seeing that Guo Mingyong remained silent, he hurriedly said, "General, the commander's wife and children are in City H. I wonder if you can send someone to bring them here."

"Where are they?" Zhou Yang asked. Since they had nothing to do now, going to pick up one or two people wouldn't be a big deal.

"No need. I've already had them hide in a wardrobe." Guo Mingyong explained, but a hint of worry still showed in his eyes. Even if his wife and children weren't discovered by the mutated zombies, they might starve to death in the wardrobe. But he was a soldier.

"Do you know where they are?" Zhou Yang asked the communicator.

"Yes, in the Hongtian residential area of Zone B, building 13, room 503." The communicator quickly replied, having been to Guo Mingyong's home several times.

"Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue." Zhou Yang called out to the two somewhat dazed men. Everything they had seen today was a significant shock to these people from the martial arts world. Monsters, zombies, superpowers, and the apocalypse—these were things they had never experienced, all coming at once.

"Shopkeeper." The two men replied calmly, snapping back to their senses.

"You and this young brother, go and rescue Commander Guo's wife." Zhou Yang pointed to the communicator and said.

The two men nodded lightly. Even Ximen Chuixue, who was usually stoic, was moved by the situation, let alone the passionate and righteous Lu Xiaofeng.

"No!"

Guo Mingyong hurriedly shouted, somewhat dazed and determined. "General, once you rescue my family, the order in the safe zone will be in chaos."

There couldn't be only one person in the safe zone with family. Even if it were just ten people, City H was so large that these experts might not return for days.

Moreover, there were many survivors around City H University heading towards it. Without enough experts to meet them, these people would also be doomed.

The survival area of City H University was so prominent that a zombie tide had formed around it. Countless mutated zombies surrounded City H University.

If it weren't for the eighteen black monks, who were extremely violent and could smash the heads of the zombies with a single iron rod, and who were becoming increasingly skilled, these mutated zombies, though having lost their original rationality, still possessed intelligence and emotions like fear.

The heads of the zombies, bursting like watermelons, made their already still hearts tremble.

The mutated zombies had tried to attack City H University several times, but all were directly smashed.

That middle-aged man, possibly codenamed "Divine Marquis," was like a reborn martial god. With a massive cement pillar over ten meters long in his hands, a single swing could kill a large number of zombies, even the powerful giant mutated zombies, who looked at him with deep fear.

"Commander Guo, don't worry. Reinforcements will arrive soon." Zhou Yang explained. He had received a message from Gao Yao of the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower that other Shaolin Temples were entering the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower, bringing their eighteen copper men and requesting to participate in the mission. Gao Yao was almost driven crazy by the monks.

We might not have any experts at the peak of the innate realm, but we do have an eighteen copper men formation. If the eighteen copper men from "Demigods and Semi-Devils" can go, why can't we?

"Communicator!"

"Here!"

"Set out immediately." Zhou Yang ordered.

The communicator was excited. To go on a mission with two world-class swordsmen was truly fortunate.

"Thank you, General!" Guo Mingyong saluted, his eyes moist. How could he not worry about his family? But he had his mission.

"Alright, go distribute the food quickly." Zhou Yang smiled. "I'll go and guide the rescue team here."

Zhou Yang ran out quickly and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"Shopkeeper." A group of monks with shiny heads and white beards respectfully greeted the suddenly appearing figure.

"Shopkeeper, look, these are the eighteen copper men of our Shaolin Temple. Each has cultivated the Thirteen Invincible Techniques to the peak, truly impervious to blades and bullets."

"Though they can't defeat experts at the peak of the innate realm, they can contain them." The Zen Master Tianming from "The Return of the Condor Heroes" tapped the eighteen copper men behind him, who had pale golden skin and a respectful demeanor, producing a "ding ding" metallic sound, as if they were made of metal.

Zhou Yang examined the eighteen copper men. They looked most like the ones in films, with bronze-colored skin. If not for a closer look, it would be hard to distinguish them.

"Good!" Zhou Yang nodded lightly. The strength of these eighteen copper men was roughly on par with those from "Demigods and Semi-Devils."

After all, external martial arts are the hardest to cultivate, and few can break through to the innate realm. These were mostly late-stage and peak innate realm copper men, rare external martial arts experts in the martial arts world.

In the connected worlds, Zhou Yang knew that the most powerful external martial arts experts were the Invincible Child from "The World's Strongest" and the Golden Wheel Dharma King from "The Return of the Condor Heroes," both with the peak of the Indestructible Body and the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Power, respectively, both breaking through to the innate realm.

"Shopkeeper, our Shaolin Temple's eighteen copper men can also contend with experts at the peak of the innate realm." The Zen Master Fangzheng from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" pointed to the eighteen figures behind him.

Zhou Yang looked at them and was somewhat speechless. Eighteen copper men?

Aren't these the eighteen external martial arts experts your entire Shaolin Temple could gather?

Four or five of the monks had white beards, likely in their sixties if not seventies, and the younger ones were only at the mid-stage innate realm, not yet impervious to blades and bullets.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry. These are the previous generation's eighteen copper men, experienced and highly combat-effective, and will not affect the eighteen copper men formation." The Zen Master Fangzheng from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" said awkwardly.

It was not easy. The current generation's eighteen copper men were only at the mid-stage innate realm, so he had to invite the previous generation to form a formation that could barely contend with experts at the peak of the innate realm.

However, over time, the eighteen copper men formation would not hold. Their coordination was far from that of the same generation.

"Shopkeeper, our Shaolin Temple's Diamond Demon Circle can contend with experts at the peak of the innate realm." The Zen Master Kongwen from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" said calmly, having been silent all along.

The Diamond Demon Circle?

The other abbots were shocked. They had actually mastered one of the hardest formations in Shaolin Temple, the Diamond Demon Circle?

To form the Diamond Demon Circle, the participants must be in perfect harmony, with one person's thoughts immediately understood by the others, to form a solid formation.

Perfect harmony is not easy. Without it, the Diamond Demon Circle would be powerless.

Three old monks, who had been sitting silently, chanted a Buddhist verse in unison, "Amitabha."

Then they fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at the Zen Master Huicong from "The Deer and the Cauldron." You've been silent. Do you have an even more powerful formation to reveal?

"Amitabha." The Zen Master Huicong from "The Deer and the Cauldron" softly chanted.

The other abbots looked expectantly, quickly recalling any other powerful formations in Shaolin Temple.

"Poor monk, I am here to buy a bottle of anti-inflammatory water." Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the Zen Master Huicong said sadly and drifted away.

You all started by saying the eighteen copper men can contend with experts at the peak of the innate realm. How can I say that the Shaolin Temple's 108 Arhat Formation can contend with experts at the peak of the innate realm? As for the eighteen copper men formation, the Zen Master Huicong could only silently ask, can it contend with late-stage innate realm experts?
