Gao Han stood on the hillside and called Zhongli Tingzhou's communicator for the third time, but like the previous two times, the call was not connected.
The geographical magnetic field of the Damen disaster area is just as Long Zhan said. Electronic equipment may not be usable here.
The possibility of contacting others through electronic devices is very low, so everyone can only try not to get separated.
The disaster area at the gate is very large. Once you get separated, you may not be able to gather together again until you get out.
"Which direction are we going next?" Gao Han acted evasively. When Lin Ying came over, she didn't notice that he had just made a phone call, but just didn't make the call.
"Go to where there are more mutant creatures." Gao Han said.
They had been here for a day and a half, and had encountered several mutant creatures during this time, but they were not very strong and they did not find anything valuable.
Where there are more mutated creatures, that is where the spiritual energy is denser.
Lin Ying didn't say anything, but her breathing became noticeably heavier, because that also meant a higher chance of meeting other people.
Neither of them had any objections. After Gao Han determined the direction, he started moving, "Let's go."
The three of them shuttled through the jungle. Occasionally, mutant creatures nearby would discover their tracks, but they would be left behind before they could catch up, and would fall far behind.
In the disaster area of Baicheng, Zhongli Tingzhou did the same thing as Gao Han.
After the last teasing, he didn't contact Gao Han for two days, just to wait until he calmed down, but the communicator couldn't get through anymore.
"He won't block me, will he?" Zhongli Tingzhou said thoughtfully.
Thinking of his expression when he was so angry at me that he couldn't speak, this possibility is very high!
Just as Zhongli Tingzhou finished his sigh, he heard the roar of mutant creatures coming from the dense forest in the distance, starting with countless crows and birds.
Zhongli Tingzhou rushed over and saw a group of soldiers in military green uniforms pushing a group of fire rhinos in an orderly manner. The soldiers strictly followed orders, so even when facing hundreds of fire rhinos, the scene did not look messy at all.
This is the Chinese army. In order to train an iron-blooded army, they send soldiers here every year for training. At the same time, they can also collect materials and increase the military's income.
Zhongli Tingzhou just took a look and left.
"General, what's wrong?" An adjutant suddenly saw the top commanders of the military department looking in a certain direction, and a hint of doubt seemed to appear on their resolute faces.
"There seemed to be someone nearby just now." General Shen frowned, his face becoming more majestic.
The adjutant was even more confused than the general. "It seems? With the general's strength, you can't be sure if there is someone there? Do you need to send someone to check it out?"
"No need. There should be only one person. I can't detect any presence now. He is probably gone."
The adjutant was suspicious and said, "General, could this person be someone sent by the Yuan family or other families to gather information? The Silver Lizard has not been found yet, and I wonder if it has fallen into the hands of others."
"If it really fell into someone's hands, the disaster area would not be so peaceful. Don't worry, the silver lizard is not so easy to catch. If someone catches it, the Zhongli family will also inform the military." General Shen said in a deep voice.
The Zhongli family and the military have an inseparable relationship, and they share wealth and woe.
"It's a pity. If Zhongli Tingzhou joins the military, the strength of the military will be greatly enhanced." The adjutant thought of the brilliant genius of the Zhongli family.
"Don't think about relying on others. When disaster strikes, the person you can rely on the most is yourself."
"Yes, General."
…
Suddenly, dozens of mutant creatures rushed out of the forest. They were mutated wolves, with their limbs and bodies covered with layers of black features that shone like armor under the light. Their eyes emitted hungry green light.
This is the Iron-Feathered Wolf in the biological encyclopedia. Its attribute is wind. It is extremely fast and has great destructive power. People who encounter them often either lose their lives or are destined to return empty-handed.
Lin Ying didn't expect that their luck was so bad that they would run into the Iron-Feather Wolf's territory and be surrounded by dozens of Iron-Feather Wolves.
But what surprised him even more was that the figure in front of him, moving through the Iron-Feathered Wolves, occasionally had a hint of fire.
The air was filled with a burnt smell, the smell of fire.
There are two things about Iron-Feathered Wolves that give hunters a headache. One is their speed. With the help of the wind, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch up with them.
The second is their defensive ability. The fur on their bodies forms barbs and is extremely hard, making it difficult to penetrate their defense.
But in Gao Han's hands, these Iron-Feathered Wolves, which were very powerful in their eyes, did not seem so powerful.
"The magic weapon in Brother Gao's hand is a quasi-spiritual weapon. It can easily kill a few Iron-Feathered Wolves." Zhang Hao seemed to know his doubts and said proudly as he retreated to his side.
Lin Ying was speechless. He knew that Gao Han was the top student in the weapon refining academy, but he didn't expect that he could actually refine quasi-spiritual weapons.
The instructors in the school who knew about the situation did not publicize the level of his magic weapon, so until now only a few people knew that Gao Han was already a quasi-spiritual weapon master.
"Don't be dazed. The injured Iron-Feathered Wolf is in your hands. I'll go chase the leader in front." Gao Han's serious voice suddenly came.
The two of them immediately put aside their inappropriate thoughts and began to clean up the mess left by Gao Han.
Gao Han had already left, chasing after the leading Iron-Feathered Wolf.
Another major characteristic of the Iron-Feathered Wolf is that it holds grudges. Its sense of smell is very sensitive and it can smell the scent of its enemies from thousands of meters away. If it is targeted by them, it will be very troublesome later.
Gao Han can let other Iron-Feather Wolves go, but he will not let the leading Iron-Feather Wolf go, because it can summon the Iron-Feather Wolves scattered in other parts of the disaster area.
Lin Ying and Zhang Hao worked together, and it only took them a dozen minutes to deal with the remaining Iron-Feathered Wolves.
The ground was littered with corpses of Iron-Winged Wolves, and blood flowed like a river that would soon seep into the grass. In less than a day, peace would return to this place, and no trace of the battle would be seen.
"With so many Iron-Feathered Wolves, I finally made my money back." Zhang Hao said excitedly.
They have been here for almost three days, and their total harvest is less than one-tenth of today's.
"Let's clean up first." Lin Ying's expression, which had been heavy since he came in, eased a little at this moment.
The body of the Iron-Feathered Wolf is not entirely a treasure, but it is troublesome to cut up, so they put the body into storage items and make plans after they get out.
"Wait!" A loud voice suddenly sounded.
The two turned around and saw four grown men running towards them.
As they got closer, the murderous aura on them became more and more obvious.
Lin Ying frowned slightly and whispered to Zhang Hao, "Be careful, these people are mercenaries."
Zhang Hao asked stupidly: "How do you know?"
Lin Ying said: "My brother took me to the disaster area for training before. The aura they exude is very similar to the mercenaries I met in the disaster area."
Four mercenaries came over, their eyes glaring at the dozen or so Iron-Winged Wolves on the ground that had not yet been put away, with a hint of greed flashing in their eyes.
One carcass of these Iron-Feathered Wolves could be sold for tens of thousands, and a dozen carcasses could be sold for hundreds of thousands.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that they were staring at the corpse of the Iron-Feathered Wolf without saying anything, Lin Ying's face darkened and he had a bad premonition.
"We should be the ones asking you this," a man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses stepped forward and said with a fake smile, "We were just chasing after a few seriously injured Iron-Winged Wolves. Are you two trying to steal our prey?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We were clearly the ones who killed these Iron-Winged Wolves, so how did they become yours?!" Zhang Hao wondered what these mercenaries were up to, but he didn't expect them to be so shameless and lie with their eyes open.
The man with glasses narrowed his eyes and said contemptuously, "It seems that this kid is here for the first time to train in the disaster area. He doesn't know the rules here. Besides, with your strength, how can you prove that you killed these Iron-Winged Wolves?"
Zhang Hao said angrily: "We killed him, what evidence do we need? I think you are the ones who want to steal our prey!"
"What are you talking about robbing? These Iron-Feathered Wolves are originally our prey. Get out of here if you know what's good for you, otherwise my magic weapon won't have eyes." The sturdy man who was traveling with them said impatiently.
"You!" Zhang Hao was encountering such a thing for the first time and was very excited. Just as he was about to continue arguing with them, he was stopped by Lin Ying.
Lin Ying said: "Don't argue with them. These people have already made up their minds to steal our prey. It's useless to say more to them."
Zhang Hao said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't they afraid of being found out?"
Lin Ying shook her head. "This is the law of the jungle in the disaster area. The laws of the outside world do not apply here."
Disaster areas are cruel. They are products that are detached from society. Here, all conspiracies and all dirty things will be buried. Therefore, human nature is also greatly released here. It is a very common thing to steal other people's prey.
"You're pretty smart. Now that you know the answer, leave the things behind and go away before we change our minds." A cold light flashed across the glasses' lenses.
"Sorry, we have no intention of giving you the prey, nor do we plan to leave." Lin Ying took a step forward and moved the spear in his hand slightly forward, clearly showing his attitude of fighting to protect.
"I told you there's no need to waste time talking to them. They're two kids who have never suffered. As their seniors, we should teach them what cruelty is!" The sturdy man took out his magic weapon from his back, an axe with a very sharp blade.
The man with glasses shrugged. "Kids nowadays are too stubborn. Let's teach them a lesson first."
"Don't worry, we will teach them how to behave!" The two teammates who had not spoken at the back also came up with sinister smiles.
"Lin Ying, we don't know when Brother Gao will come back. Can we handle these people?" Zhang Hao asked nervously.
"I'm not sure either. Let's try our best to delay them and wait for Gao Han to come back." Lin Ying looked solemn.
It was Zhang Hao's first time fighting with someone outside the school. His hands holding the magic weapon were already soaked. "Then I'll try my best."
Lin Ying swung his spear, his feet moved quickly, and he attacked in front of them.
He was once the top student in his grade, so the title was certainly not in vain.
It can be seen from the fact that he defeated Chen Siqin so easily that he would not underestimate any opponent and would give it his all every time.
His target was the sturdy man standing in the front. It was not a sneak attack, but his speed was very fast.
The gun tip was in front of him in the blink of an eye. The strong man was caught off guard and hurriedly used his magic weapon to block it.
Lin Ying took advantage of the situation and pursued him. Although the strong man was agile, he was far inferior to him. In just a few seconds, he had several wounds on his body.
"Come and help!" The strong man quickly asked his companions for help.
The companion groaned and then calmly went up to help.
With two opponents, Lin Ying's pressure increased suddenly.
Zhang Hao was also entangled by another one. His strength was not as strong as Lin Yingqiang and he could only barely deal with one person.
Unexpectedly, the man with glasses did not take action. Instead, he stood nearby. After making sure that no one was ambushing him, he walked towards the corpse of the Iron-Feathered Wolf on the ground.
Zhang Hao cursed inwardly at seeing this, calling him despicable, while at the same time hoping that Brother Gao would come back soon.
Perhaps hearing his thoughts, a rocket broke through the air and came towards him at such a speed that it arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The strong man didn't even have time to react before the rocket pierced through his chest.
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized that Gao Han had returned, and immediately sped up to deal with the other person.
"Oh no, let's go!" The man with glasses only realized that there was an ambush when the strong man died. He jumped up with a changed face.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he immediately clung to the companion of the man with glasses, and when Gao Han came over, the two of them teamed up to kill each other.
On the other side, Lin Ying did not kill his opponent, but injured him.
The man with glasses was far away at the time, so he still ran away.
"What happened?" Gao Han didn't expect that something would happen here when he was away for just a while.
Zhang Hao immediately recounted what had happened. "These mercenaries are too arrogant and lawless. They dared to steal our prey in broad daylight!"
Gao Han responded.
Zhang Hao asked in surprise: "Brother Gao, aren't you surprised?"
Gao Han said: "It's normal. This is a disaster area, not a law-abiding society."
Zhang Hao felt ashamed. It turned out that his awareness was not enough.
"Be careful next time. The disaster area at the gate is not a new disaster area. There are many mercenaries and wild cultivators here. No one knows when the same thing will happen again." Gao Han looked extremely calm. "Put away the corpse of the Iron Feather Wolf first. We will leave here immediately. The smell of blood will soon attract other mutant creatures."
Zhang Hao said okay, looked at Lin Ying hesitantly, and turned to clean up.
Gao Han came to Lin Ying and just heard the companion of the man with glasses threatening Lin Ying.
"You'd better let me go. My companions will find you soon, and then you will be dead."
"I'll have them flay your skin and tear your tendons apart, making your life worse than death!"
"Why don't you kill him?" Gao Han walked to Lin Ying, his voice cold and cruel, implying the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of killing without blinking an eye. The mercenary who was shouting just now suddenly fell silent and stared at Gao Han in fear.
Lin Ying hesitated and said, "I have something to ask him."
Gao Han understood immediately and glanced at the mercenary whose face was flushed red. "Hurry up."
Lin Ying nodded gratefully.
Gao Han turned around and went to find Zhang Hao to clean up the mess with him.
Ten minutes later, Lin Ying had almost finished asking questions.
They had also packed up, and Gao Han walked over and killed the companion of the man with glasses with one knife.
Zhang Hao and Lin Ying both looked a little dazed.
"What? You don't want to let him go?" Gao Han turned around and saw their reactions, and raised his eyebrows.
Lin Ying shook his head. He knew the cruelty of the disaster area.
It was Zhang Hao’s first time, and his face turned pale, but he didn’t say anything.
"Well, let's go." Gao Han shook off the blood on the knife and turned to leave.
