After eight years of operation, the Luohanpo Base has now developed into a comprehensive mountain stronghold covering over a hundred acres.
It is called Luohan Slope because there is a long ridge slope extending several kilometers along Luohan Mountain, with a vast area.
During the Golden Age, this open slope was a pasture for the Mountain herders to raise cattle and sheep.
However, in the apocalypse, it has turned into a blood-soaked battlefield resembling a meat grinder.
The Luohanpo Base is built within the majestic mountains behind the slope.
After decades of development by several generations, a long wall and high fortress defense structure have been constructed on the main ridge of the slope, which is many times sturdier than the Great Wall from the Golden Age. It takes on an irregular arc shape, protecting the base behind it.
The twenty-meter-high defensive walls overlook the expansive slopes below, where countless bodies of humans and Deep Sea Army soldiers are buried.
Every June, when the Deep Sea Army invades, the Ren Family Army's cavalry will lure them to the open slopes of Luohan Slope to engage in a brutally fierce mountain defense battle.
At that time, the Deep Sea Army will charge at the long wall defenses on the ridge like a Tide, while the defending troops must use their lives and blood to protect their homeland behind them.
Many heroic tales have been born on this long slope.
The Ren Family has several valiant children, including Ren Xiao's elder brother, Ren Cheng, who is one of Ren Changdong's seven sons and died in battle on this blood-soaked slope.
On Luohan Slope, Chief Ren Liu Feng, known as the "Eight-Armed Arhat," also perished on this hellish battlefield.
This vast area of sloping land has long been devoid of shrubbery due to years of continuous warfare.
Buried beneath countless corpses, the soft soil resembling mud has sprouted many shade-loving weeds and flowers.
By late August, this place blooms with fields of purple-red flowers.
Like Higanbana or Red Spider Lily, these are strange flowers nourished by the blood of warriors and beasts from the Deep Sea.
The smell that emanated from it was incredibly foul, causing both people and animals to avoid it entirely.
In the eyes of the doomsday residents at Luohan Slope, this place was a blooming Dead Zone.
That afternoon, Ren Xiao took a shortcut along this Dead Zone to bring Chen Zao to the Ren Family Army's encampment behind the ridge defense works.
With over thirty thousand members, the Ren Family Army was the largest and most numerous garrison in Wuzhai.
Centered around the Ren Family Fortress, the Ren Family Army was fully stationed along the entire defensive works.
The Ren Family Fortress served as the family castle where the clan of Ren Changdong resided.
This tiered defensive fortress, built from massive stones and reinforced concrete, occupied an entire mountain peak.
From a distance, it resembled a giant stone turtle lying behind the long wall defenses.
Every raised square on its shell represented a powerful defensive structure, with countless scars marking its surface, recording the brutal bloodbaths that had occurred here.
The Ren Family Fortress was only two kilometers away from the main battlefield at Changpo; if the long wall defenses were breached, it would become the Deep Sea Army's most important target for slaughter.
This place had not only faced bloodshed from the Deep Sea Army on multiple occasions.
However, after each massacre, Ren Changdong would fortify this family stronghold even more, demonstrating to the residents that the Ren Family was determined to defend Luohan Slope at all costs!
Although every June, before the Deep Sea Army's invasion, Ren Changdong secretly sent his family members to the most secure underground defenses deep within Mountain at Luohan Slope,
on the surface, his determination to charge forward and protect his home earned him high trust and support from the residents of Luohan Slope.
No longer viewed with suspicion as he had been when he first arrived at Luohan Slope eight years ago, Ren Changdong was now the most popular and trusted leader in Wuzhai.
More than two months have passed since the last wave of the Deep Sea Army siege, and at this moment, the Luohanpo Base is in a stage of recovery, bustling with activity and eager for development.
The Ren Family Army, having endured a hellish battle in the previous wave, has finally entered a rare period of rest.
Only a few new recruit battalions are training on the mountain drill grounds.
Most of the garrison troops are currently focused on rebuilding defensive fortifications.
Chen Zao had never been this close to the Ren Family Army base before.
Generally, outsiders are not allowed to freely enter or exit military garrisons.
If it weren't for Ren Xiao accompanying him, Chen Zao would have had no chance to get this close to the defending troops.
Unlike the ordinary residents in the gathering areas Chen Zao had visited before, who looked like refugees—dressed in rags, thin, and with sallow complexions—the soldiers at the Ren Family Army base were different.
These soldiers may not be tall, but each one has developed a refined physique through Beast Oil training.
Any one of them could easily be considered an elite special forces soldier during the Golden Age.
If it weren't for Chen Zao having reached a more advanced stage of cultivation, walking among these fierce-looking soldiers would likely make him feel uneasy.
Many of these shirtless soldiers laboring to move stones bear severe scars on their bodies; some have burn scars covering half their faces and necks.
These scars represent their most passionate memories of battle and their highest honor as soldiers.
In the Panlong Six Strongholds, military personnel have always been the most respected and revered profession.
Every man in the garrison harbors aspirations of serving in the military.
Rarely does anyone have the opportunity to serve in the military but chooses not to.
It is precisely because being a soldier is a brave and noble profession that when Chen Zao expressed his unwillingness to enlist, Lu Lin and the other cavalrymen regarded him as a coward.
However, if these cavalrymen were to encounter Chef Chen now, they would likely steer clear of him to avoid being pursued by this shameless chef who might challenge them one-on-one.
Due to their ignorance of Chen Zao's background, and since he arrived at the base with Ren Qijie, most of the guards instinctively kept their distance upon seeing Chen Zao's tall and imposing figure, wary of provoking someone who looked quite formidable.
As Chen Zao walked among these lean soldiers who resembled iron beasts, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
After all, he had just offended a Ren Family Female General and had even injured an Elite Cavalryman.
If these soldiers suddenly appeared and sought revenge on him, given Ren Xiao's capabilities, it was unlikely he would be able to protect himself.
Upon entering the military base, Chen Zao began to regret his decision. Why didn't he just wait outside for Ren Xiao to bring him gold? Why did he have to venture into the lion's den? Did he really not trust Ren Xiao?
At that moment, a group of cavalrymen galloped past Chen Zao and Ren Xiao.
After two of the cavalrymen had gone some distance away, they deliberately turned back to glance at Chen Zao. It was unclear whether they were drawn by his towering stature or by the rumors surrounding Ren Si Jie.
Feeling scrutinized by these cavalrymen, Chen Zao couldn't shake off a sense of unease.
