Accompanied by Zhongli Tingzhou, Gao Han met the old customer at the agreed cake shop.

Gao Han deliberately arrived a few minutes early, but the other party still arrived earlier than them.

The broad forehead and cheekbones, and a pair of thick eyebrows are particularly prominent on this square face. At first glance, this person seems steady, generous, and powerful.

In fact, Gao Han did feel a very powerful aura from the other party.

This person's cultivation is not low.

"Young Master Zhongli?" The other party stood up in surprise when he saw the two people coming in.

Gao Han immediately looked at Zhongli Tingzhou. He didn't expect that the other party was actually an acquaintance of his?

Zhongli Tingzhou looked indifferent and calm; he didn't know the other person.

Wu Zheng naturally knew that he knew him but he didn't know him, so he quickly introduced himself.

Wu Zheng is the vice president of a company in the imperial capital that specializes in buying and selling refining materials. He is well-known in the imperial capital because the military purchases some of its refining materials from his company.

Gao Han searched for the other party's information inconspicuously, and unexpectedly, the Internet was quite complete.

Although Wu Zheng is the vice president of a company that produces refining materials, he has a hobby.

He likes to collect talismans. As long as they are not available on the market, he wants to collect them, regardless of their level and power.

By chance, I heard about Gao's mother's online store, which sold many special talismans. I was addicted to it.

In order to satisfy his collecting habit and daily needs, Mr. Wu spent nearly 10 million yuan in Gao's mother's store. Even the buyer with the second highest purchasing rate spent less than half of his money.

Later, the online store launched a service for customizing magical instruments, and Wu Zheng was not left behind and approached Gao's mother as soon as possible.

Gao's mother sent someone to investigate and already knew his identity and background, so she had no hesitation in recommending her son.

In Gao's mother's mind, no matter how powerful the subordinates of Miss A, with whom she worked, were, their ability in refining weapons was not as good as her son's.

"What kind of magic weapon does Mr. Wu plan to customize?" Gao Han asked straight to the point.

Wu Zheng also liked straightforward people. When he heard him ask this, he didn't hesitate and tapped the table and said, "Actually, I don't want to customize a magic weapon..."

Gao Han's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mr. Wu, do you want to customize a spiritual weapon?"

Wu Zheng didn't expect him to be so perceptive, and he didn't intend to hide it. The other party probably guessed that he had investigated him. "Yes, to be honest, I have investigated your mother and I know about you."

Gao Han had never deliberately concealed the fact that he could refine spiritual weapons, so it was not surprising that Wu Zheng could check him out. "Mr. Wu, as the vice president of a large company, do you also need spiritual weapons?"

He thought that the vice president of a large company should be in charge of the company all year round and should not face any danger.

"It is precisely because of the vice president that it is more necessary, but it also has something to do with the situation of our company."

He didn't elaborate, so Gao Han didn't ask, "What kind of spiritual weapon does Mr. Wu want to order?"

Wu Zheng's face lit up with joy, "If possible, I want a magic weapon."

"Yes." Magical spiritual weapons are easier to refine than weapons.

Gao Han also asked about his Dharma body and other requirements.

The conversation went fairly harmoniously.

Finally, Wu Zhengcai said, "Mr. Gao, if you need any materials, just ask. Our company has a lot of special materials transported from the main disaster areas. The company has targets, but I am the vice president and have a certain say. You can exchange your compensation for special materials."

"Main disaster area?" Gao Han didn't know that there was a place called the main disaster area.

From what he said, it seems that this main disaster area is different from other disaster areas.

Wu Zheng didn’t know that he didn’t know, “Yes, there are many materials in the main disaster area that are not available in other disaster areas. Our company specializes in purchasing them.”

Noticing that Zhongli Tingzhou was looking at him, Gao Han said calmly, "I will inform Mr. Wu after I confirm it. As for the materials for the spiritual weapon, Mr. Wu can just send someone to deliver them to school when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gao. I have something else to do in the company, so I won't disturb you two." Wu Zheng said with a smile as he stood up. It was obvious that he had already seen that they had something to say.

After watching him leave, Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou and asked, "What is the main disaster area?"

"The source of the disaster." Zhongli Tingzhou replied.

After thinking for a while, he added, "You have just been promoted to the third grade, and the instructor has not had time to tell you that there is a mandatory task for seniors, which is to go to the main disaster area for a period of time every year."

Zhongli Tingzhou further explained the situation in the main disaster area.

It is the largest and most dangerous disaster area on Earth, and it was also the starting point of the large-scale outbreak of disaster areas on Earth that year.

All the animals and plants inside grew into terrifying creatures overnight. Humans were unable to clean them up in time because mutations broke out one after another in various parts of the world. By the time human leaders turned their attention back to the main disaster area, it was already out of control.

The main disaster area has become a restricted area that humans can no longer enter, and it covers a very large area, and it even expands outward every year.

"Expanding outward?" Gao Han recalled the time when he first learned about the disaster area and had a guess, "Are you saying that the plants in the main disaster area have also mutated?"

"Not only the main disaster area, but other disaster areas are also changing, but not as seriously as the main disaster area. The changes in the main disaster area are more obvious, and its area expands outward by at least 100 meters every year."

"So, is this the real reason for the destruction of the earth?" Gao Han took a deep breath.

Zhongli Tingzhou heard him mutter to himself, "The destruction of the earth?"

Gao Han shook his head. "Let's talk about this later. The government should take care of it later, right?"

Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, "Yes, but it will be many years later."

At that time, the disaster broke out over a large area, and the country's military forces were distributed, so there was not much left in the end. If the main disaster area had not expanded so rapidly, it might not have been discovered so quickly.

Gao Han suddenly asked: "Why did the mutation happen?"

He had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Zhongli Tingzhou said: "Humans have been looking for the reason for this problem."

Gao Han: “Didn’t find it?”

Zhongli Tingzhou: "No, the cause of the mutation was finally determined to be in the main disaster area."

Gao Han had a strange expression, "Should?"

Zhongli Tingzhou knew what he wanted to say. After hundreds of years, no discovery had been made. The efficiency was indeed very low. "The main disaster area is larger than you think. You probably haven't seen the real map yet."

The real map is only circulated among the upper echelons of humanity. Not only ordinary humans, but even ordinary spirit refiners may not know about it.

Zhongli Tingzhou turned on the communicator and showed him the real map.

After the disaster, the map has changed a lot and is no longer just seven continents and five oceans.

Many small countries and coastal countries have long since perished in the disaster and disappeared in the sea of ​​​​li. Those that remain are mostly powerful coastal countries and some inland countries.

Gao Han had seen maps before, but when he saw Zhongli Tingzhou's map, he discovered that the land area was much larger than the map that the human top leaders showed to the public, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the area of ​​the five oceans was the same as the area of ​​the remaining three oceans.

“These disaster areas are not only expanding inland, but also expanding toward the ocean, right?”

"If it continues to expand outward at the current rate of 100 meters per year, sooner or later the Earth's oceans will be completely covered."

Gao Han didn't understand. "I've only heard of the ocean expanding, but I've never heard of land appearing out of thin air."

Zhongli Tingzhou was silent for a moment, "Because the sea water is disappearing."

"Wait, I'm confused. If the sea water disappears one day sooner or later, the creatures on the seabed will die sooner or later, right? How can they survive without the ocean?" After Gao Han said this, a light bulb went off in his mind.

"So they are evolving, and many mutated sea monsters are running towards land. When one day they are fully adapted to life on land, that will probably be the time when humans become extinct."

Gao Han finally understood the reason why the Earth would disappear in the future. It means that humans will eventually be unable to resist the invasion of marine life and will eventually have to flee the Earth.

Existing humans have not been able to change the fate of the earth.

As far as he knew, the earth would be destroyed in the last hundred years. However, according to Zhongli Tingzhou, the land expanded by a hundred meters every year, so it should not be destroyed within a hundred years unless something else happened.

"Forget it. The affairs of the main disaster area are not something I can take care of right now." Gao Han shook his head helplessly.

Zhongli Tingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back to school."

Gao Han had no objection.

The two walked out of the cake shop.

Gao Han was just about to drive his car over when Zhongli Tingzhou's expression suddenly changed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The place where the two stood exploded after they disappeared.

The cake shop was affected and the building collapsed directly, and the clerk inside was unfortunately crushed to death.

A masked man appeared nearby and looked in the direction where Zhongli Tingzhou and Gao Han had reappeared. "They actually dodged?"

"Who is this person? Is he targeting you or me?" Gao Han stood on the roof and frowned at the man.

This person is quite powerful and he even dares to take action in the imperial capital.

Zhongli Tingzhou blocked him behind him, took out his magic weapon, and said coldly, "It doesn't matter, just kill him."

After saying that, the figure suddenly disappeared.

A loud bang sounded at the same time.

Gao Han just blinked his eyes, and Zhongli Tingzhou had already started fighting with the masked man.

"The genius of the Zhongli family is indeed worthy of his reputation." The masked man seemed to be at ease and could even speak easily during the battle.

Gao Han looked solemn. This man was quite powerful and he came well prepared. Could he have been sent by the Yuan family?

While he was concentrating on the battle, two people were watching him in the distance.

"Zhongli Tingzhou is being held hostage, now is a good opportunity."

"Do you want to kill him?" The man who asked the question had gray hair on his temples and an ordinary face, the kind that no one would remember if he were thrown into a crowd.

The person being questioned had his hands behind his back. He was also an old man, staring at the two people fighting in front of him, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. "Since the head of the family has given the order, then just kill them to prevent future troubles."

"What a pity." The ordinary old man sighed, but his face showed no emotion.
