The main disaster area is located at a higher latitude on the earth, occupying most of the territory of country W. Together with the developed oceans, it has become the largest area on the earth.
It is cold all year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter, but when the spirit cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, they have the ability to resist the cold, so when they arrive at the main disaster area, there are still many spirit cultivators with their shirts off.
Penglai University's hovercraft appeared outside the main disaster area and was guided to the landing place.
When the cabin door opened, a gust of cold air came in, mixed with a chilly wind. Some students shivered immediately, and it took them a while to adjust.
Gao Han got off the hovercraft and discovered that the area within a radius of several thousand meters was empty, with no buildings or dense forests.
"There are often mutated birds and beasts flying over the main disaster area. Once they discover the presence of humans, they will rush to attack without regard for their lives. Their flying speed is not slow at all, and sometimes they can even catch up with the hovercraft. If you encounter them, you will either die or crash." Zhongli Changze's voice sounded behind him.
"Can't we be closer to the main disaster area?" The person who asked the question was Su Zhouhe.
Zhongli Changze didn't care. "No, some mutant birds and beasts are very sensitive to the sound of the hovercraft. Even if there are strong men guarding the city, they will rush over all at once."
Su Zhouhe laughed and said, "Is this a spirit?"
Zhongli Changze said: "All the mutant creatures in the main disaster area are spirits. It's worth it to kill a bunch of mutant birds and beasts in exchange for some strong humans."
Some people in the crowd heard their conversation and couldn't help but gasp.
"The professor said that the mutants have developed intelligence. Have they evolved to such an intelligent level?"
"They are all so smart, is there any chance for us to survive?"
Everyone was talking at once, and some people were a bit negative.
"Do you want to give up before you even start? Then get out of here as soon as possible and drop out of Penglai when you go back. Since you don't want to take responsibility for the future of mankind, there is no need to continue studying. It's a waste of school and social resources. Why does the school spend so much resources to support you? Do you really think it's just to train a bunch of idiots who can't do anything? If you want to be a flower in a greenhouse, then go home!" Long Zhan's sonorous and powerful curse suddenly rang out.
Everyone's ears were buzzing and the noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Several complaining and worried students were so angry that their faces turned red and they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
There were also one or two people who thought that they were just talking and were not really leaving, so what did it matter to Instructor Long Zhan.
But it's just a thought. If he really says it out loud, Long Zhan will be so angry that he will have people send them back, and they won't even have time to cry.
"Okay, we asked you to come to the main disaster area this time for training, but it's just a look. We won't really ask you to go deep into the main disaster area. That would be sending you to die. The school trains you in the hope that you will be able to fight in the battlefield in the future, not to let you send heads to the enemy. You are not qualified yet."
Teacher Zhao saw that the third-year students were almost frightened, so he stepped out to comfort them.
Zhongli Changze snorted softly, "One plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Zhan in the front immediately looked over with a hooked look in his eyes.
Zhongli Changze immediately shrank his head.
After everyone's emotions were calmed down, Instructor Zhao began to talk about the arrangements after arriving at the main disaster area.
Just like he said, if mutant creatures attack the city, it will be a big deal. If inexperienced freshmen go forward and die, they won’t know how they died. At the beginning, they will definitely ask some old students or soldiers to lead them.
But if they are lucky, they may not encounter mutant creatures attacking the city.
In the past, when some mutant creatures had not yet developed their intelligence, there would be omens every time they attacked a city.
For example, to gather so many mutant creatures, humans can discover them with a little attention. Later, a certain pattern will gradually form, because it takes a certain amount of time to gather a large number of mutant creatures each time.
Humans were also able to slowly calculate the time of the next siege, until the emergence of intelligent higher-level mutant creatures. This rule was broken. They could not relax at any time, because the mutant creatures could attack the city at any time.
But their luck was pretty good. It had not been long since the last battle to defend the city, and there should still be some time before the next one.
"I believe your instructors have said these things before, but some of you may not have listened. I will say it again. Remember this. When you arrive at the main disaster area, you cannot relax for even a moment. You will know when you look at the people defending the city." Instructor Zhao did not say too much and stopped at just enough.
Some things are said too much and people are getting impatient to listen, so it would be better to let them go to the main disaster area and see it with their own eyes.
The airport where the hovercraft is parked is far away from the main disaster area and there is no means of transportation, so everyone can only walk there.
The distance of ten kilometers is not far for everyone. If you walk faster, you can get there in ten minutes.
The city walls are high and if you look up, you can see some soldiers patrolling.
There are two entrances, but the inspection is very strict. This is to prevent some people with bad intentions from sneaking into the city and doing bad things, as well as people from evil spirits.
The people of the Demon Spirit are their key targets of prevention, because most of those who join the Demon Spirit are demon cultivators, and some demon cultivators fall into the path of evil because they have antisocial personalities.
If we let these people in, it would be a big problem if they took advantage of the chaos when the mutant creatures were attacking the city to open the gate to the main disaster area and let the mutant creatures in.
Seeing some students showing curious expressions, Long Zhan explained it again.
The review was quickly passed. Penglai University organizes students to come here for training every year, and the people guarding the city have long been accustomed to it. After completing the review according to the steps, they let them in.
"Don't run around after you enter the city. The situation is a bit tense right now. The mutant creatures are ready to make a move, and we don't know when they will attack the city again." When Long Zhan led them in, he once again reminded them tirelessly.
"Don't worry, teacher. We value our lives very much." A student said in a joking tone.
"That's better." Long Zhan glanced at them.
When we entered the city, we found that the atmosphere inside was more serious.
Almost all the people guarding the city were soldiers, and neatly organized teams marched past in full gear.
What comes to your face is a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and a strong sense of evil.
Only those who have fought bloody battles on the battlefield can have this kind of momentum.
Every one of these people, except for a few who have just arrived, have been on the battlefield many times. Especially those who have been guarding here for many years, the bloody aura on them is even stronger.
As they passed by them, some students who had never felt this before stepped away uncomfortably, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Tingzhou!" A loud shout suddenly rang out.
He had a strong sense of majesty, but the excitement and joy in his voice discounted it a little.
However, it also instantly dispelled the condensed atmosphere that had just formed. The students, who had gradually quieted down because of these discoveries, took a deep breath, and the atmosphere slowly warmed up.
Everyone looked curiously in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a white-haired old man walking towards them with a dignified look on his face.
The intimidating aura and serious expression were completely incompatible with the voice just now.
Everyone thought it was someone else, so they looked behind the old man and saw that there was no one behind him except a young man, which made them even more confused.
The old man took a quick step forward and hugged Zhongli Tingzhou.
Gao Han was facing Zhongli Tingzhou and saw that his brows were furrowed, his face was tense, and he was struggling to push the old man away.
However, the old man was very strong and his power was obviously powerful. Zhongli Tingzhou pushed him, but he couldn't even shake.
This old man must be Zhongli Tingzhou's father, the legendary Zhongli Tianlang who is known for his carefree attitude towards life.
"Uncle, long time no see. I missed you so much." The young man behind him also squeezed over and pulled Zhongli Tingzhou's clothes with a flattering look on his face.
The disgust on Zhongli Tingzhou's face was barely concealed; if it weren't for the hat covering it, others would have seen it.
Gao Han was quite speechless, wondering what kind of relationship this family had.
Zhongli Tingzhou finally pushed his old father away.
Zhongli Changqing took advantage of the opportunity to hug his arms. His face, which had been as stiff as that of an old man, became shy, as if he had seen his beloved girl. People in the city who had known Zhongli Changqing for a year or two and had never seen him like this were stunned when they saw this scene.
Those who have known him longer have an expression of being accustomed to it. In the entire Zhongli family, from top to bottom, there is no one who is not a die-hard fan of Zhongli Tingzhou. Even the elders who are usually cold and serious will change in front of him, which is shocking.
"Brother Hai, how did Zhongli Changqing become like this?" The person who was not used to it asked the people around him in amazement.
The others also nodded in unison, like wave drums, which added a touch of comedy.
The Hai Ge he called patted his shoulder and said, "You'll get used to it."
The other party was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It sounded like this happened often, but he had been in the main disaster area for half a year, and this was the first time they saw Zhongli Changqing like this.
"What's the big deal? It's just the reaction of a crazy fan when he sees his idol. Isn't it the same for you when you have someone you admire?" some people who are used to it complained.
Everyone had a complicated expression. Is that right? Why did they feel so unreliable? When seeing an idol, one should scream. Who would dare to hug an idol?
While everyone was talking, the old man took Zhongli Tingzhou and left.
Zhongli Tingzhou quickly grabbed Gao Han.
Gao Han was not paying attention and was dragged over.
Old man Zhongli noticed that the weight was wrong and turned around to see Gao Han being pulled by his youngest son.
Finally remembering what his eldest son had said before, his surprised expression instantly softened and he looked at Gao Han with a smile.
"You must be Tingzhou's boyfriend, so come along."
Gao Han was forced to follow them without saying a word.
"Teacher, they..." The student looked at them in a daze.
Long Zhan glanced at their backs and said calmly, "Don't worry about them. Follow me. Let's go see where you live now."
Su Zhouhe was still looking at the direction Gao Han left when Zhongli Changze appeared from behind him and put his arm around his shoulders, "Let's go first."
"Your grandfather and brother have both gone there, don't you want to go with them?" Su Zhouhe retracted his gaze and smiled. He was quite calm.
"I won't go over to join in the fun for now. My uncle won't stay for too long anyway. When he comes back, I can stay in the same room with him, hehehe."
Su Zhouhe decided to take back his previous words. There was no normal person in the Zhongli family.
