Chapter 216: Chapter 102: Urban Crisis Chapter 216: Chapter 102: Urban Crisis As the news spread, the atmosphere in Steel Dome City became somewhat oppressive.
Everyone was a bit worried.
The last time monsters invaded, there was little activity in Steel Dome City, clearly because the threat level was not high enough to endanger the city, so it was not taken very seriously.
But this time, before the monster invasion, instruments detected strong energy radiation coming and alerted the public, indicating a significantly higher level of danger.
Outside the city, warships had already begun to emit humming sounds, warning the Desert Hunters to evacuate.
At the same time, the teams from the four major military districts began to assemble, entering a state of readiness.
“It seems the timing isn’t very good,” Su Rou said as she observed the chaotic traffic on the streets of Steel Dome City.
The public was somewhat panicked.
“There shouldn’t be any problem,” Lin Xi said, although also a bit worried.
But with a danger level of A, they should be able to defend against it.
“Right,” Su Rou nodded.
The Su family was a major military-industrial family, with family members controlling a vast area, all belonging to the Su family.
However, the estates were independent of each other, not together.

“Is all this your family’s?” Xiao Qi was amazed upon entering, unexpected that Su Rou’s home was so ‘lavish’.
It was huge.
“It’s the family’s, not mine,” Su Rou shook her head.
There was a difference between the family and her home.
In the Su family, her home had little power.
The Su family was vast, a large family, with many branches like her home, not central in the family’s power.
Xiao Qi was somewhat puzzled.
Su Rou’s home also occupied a large estate area, and when they arrived, Su Rou’s father had already been waiting at the door, which was very formal.
Among the visitors this time, Xu Mo and Benjamin, were not simple figures.
Su Rou’s family naturally knew the background of Benjamin.
“Dad, this is Xu Mo, Benjamin, Xiao Xiao…” Su Rou introduced them one by one to her father.
“Uncle looks so young,” Xiao Qi said.
“Old now…” Su Rou’s father said with a smile, “Xiao Qi, right?
Come in, please, everyone.”
“Choosing today wasn’t the best timing; I didn’t expect to encounter a monster surge, tarnishing the mood,” Su Rou’s father said.
“That’s something Uncle couldn’t have anticipated,” Xu Mo replied.
“But the defense forces of Steel Dome City are strong, there shouldn’t be a big problem,” Su Rou’s father continued.
“Xu Mo, I’ve long admired your reputation, and I’m finally seeing you in person today.”
“Uncle is too kind,” Xu Mo replied.
“This is not just kindness.
You alone stood against the Southern Military District, Steel Dome City couldn’t find a second person like you, just like seeing Old War God in action, superior even than your blueprint,” Su Rou’s father said lightheartedly, his words exceedingly sincere.
“Please have a seat, I haven’t prepared much, just some snacks, please try,” Su Rou’s father said, as there were long tables and chairs in the estate, with Su Rou’s mother and servants busy around them.
“Here I am,” Su Rou’s mother, around forty, still looked very refined, intellectual, and gentle, resembling Su Rou.
“Auntie,” Xu Mo and the others called out.
“Please sit down.
Su Rou, please entertain your classmates well,” Su Rou’s mother said with a smile.
“I’ll go prepare some more snacks.”
“Auntie, no need to be too busy,” Lin Xi called out.
“I’ve got nothing else to do,” Su Rou’s mother said with a smile.
“You must be Instructor Lin Xi, right?
Su Rou has always mentioned having a beautiful instructor, and indeed you are as described.”
Lin Xi felt a bit embarrassed.
Sun Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled beside her, muttering, “Gonna gain weight again.”
The group sat down.
“Uncle, decades ago, did monsters invade the city?” Xu Mo asked.
On the car ride over, he heard that the last time the danger was A-level was twenty years ago, before Su Rou and the others were born, so they didn’t know much.
Only those who were a bit older knew.
“Not a full invasion,” Su Rou’s father said.
“That time, a giant monster broke through one corner of the protective shield, creating a gap.
However, Old War God appeared, stood alone at the breach, and bought us time.
That was also the battle that made Old War God a legend.”
“If Old War God hadn’t held the breach in time, the monster’s invasion would have caused massive casualties even if they were ultimately repelled and the monsters cleared, the consequences would have been immeasurable.”
Xu Mo nodded; this was also the reason why God of War Tantai was revered as a hero of Steel Dome City and held in such high esteem.
In such times, humanity revered heroes.
“However, humans are always forgetful.
Twenty years have passed, and many who knew of the incident have aged; it’s a different era now, many people have gradually forgotten about those times, younger people even more so.” Su Rou’s father’s voice seemed to carry a hint of irony.
Xu Mo strongly agreed.
Forgetfulness was a significant trait of humanity.
“What level was the monster that broke through the protective shield back then?” Xu Mo asked.
Being a major family, Su Rou’s father, having experienced the crisis of those times, naturally knew a lot.
“The protective shield covers a vast area and can provide absolute defense against attacks below level A.
An A-level would also have difficulty breaking the shield.
The breach back then occurred after many A-level monsters attacked relentlessly, and finally, an A+ level giant beast broke through,” Su Rou’s father replied.
“How is the danger level defined, with an A+ level monster present, the danger level was set to A?
What level of attack strength do the warships have?” Xu Mo continued to ask.
“There are specific calculations of the data.
Some individual A+ monsters should still only be categorized as A-level in terms of danger,” Su Rou’s father explained.
“The guard warships have different weapons; the strongest attack weapon is at S-level, an essential part of city defense.
Maintaining a warship daily is extraordinarily costly, but when facing a monster invasion, we can’t simply calculate by levels.
If an S-level monster truly appears, I’m afraid the warships will be useless.”
