"Do you have an old grudge against Lei Jinchuan?" Everyone else could see it, and of course Gao Han could see it too.
"No." Zhongli Tingzhou answered quickly, not because he was willful, but because he and Lei Jinchuan had indeed only met a few times, and Lei Jinchuan's hostility towards him was all imaginary.
Gao Han changed his approach, "Then how did you two meet?"
"His grandfather was a general in the military, and my second brother was also a general. They always disagreed."
Gao Han almost understood what was going on. "This Lei Jinchuan targeted you because he is jealous of your talent."
"If you weren't there, at his current age, it would be very fast for him to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is young and promising. But you both have a relative who is a general, so others can't help but compare you. Am I right?"
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him in surprise and said, "That's true."
"You are talented, strong, and younger than him. If you were to join the military, the missions you have completed over the years would be enough to earn you the rank of colonel or major general."
"Without you, he would be the most outstanding young officer in the military. Once you appear, when others mention him, they will say that although Lei Jinchuan is the fastest promoted officer in the military, compared with Zhongli Tingzhou, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly more outstanding." Gao Han talked freely.
Zhongli Tingzhou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he watched him describe it vividly.
"You guessed everything based on what I said?"
Gao Han shook his head, "Of course not, and there was also the jealous look in Lei Jinchuan's eyes when he first saw you."
Zhongli Tingzhou hummed, "You are right."
After reuniting with everyone, the two ended the conversation at an appropriate time.
The others didn't know what was happening outside, and now they were filled with shock. Compared to those who died, the living were also in pain. Seeing them lying on the bed in agony, wailing, yelling, despair, and begging the people who took care of them to give them a quick death, the sentimental girls had already burst into tears.
Instructor Zhao saw that the situation was almost settled, so he asked some people to leave first. He believed that after seeing what happened today, they would not dare to treat the battlefield as a joke.
"General, please, give me a quick death. I don't want to live anymore." A soldier grabbed the arm of General Shen who was comforting him and shouted in sorrow and despair.
The soldier's abdomen was pierced by the arm of a mutant creature, leaving a hole. When people around him rushed over to rescue him, one of his arms and a leg had been torn off by the mutant creature.
The soldier lying on the bed now is truly missing limbs. Even if his life is saved, he will not be able to survive in the future. For him, there is no motivation to live anymore.
"Nonsense! Your comrades sacrificed their lives to save you from the mutant creatures. What was it for? If you die, will you be worthy of them?" General Shen shouted angrily.
"I don't want this to happen either." The soldier burst into tears. If possible, he would rather his comrades not save him.
When Gao Han saw this scene, he discovered that except Zhongli Tingzhou, everyone else in Penglai had already left.
General Shen tried to comfort him for a long time and finally made him give up the idea temporarily. He went to visit other people with a heavy heart.
There were spirit refiners helping them with their treatment, and there were also female guards who spoke in soft voices beside them.
"General Shen, just say whatever you want to say." Gao Han spoke first as the man walked in front of him.
General Shen looked at him with a complicated expression, "I know that Mr. Gao is here to participate in the training in the main disaster area. I shouldn't have bothered you, but you can see that our wood spirit refiners can't do it in this situation, so I want to ask you for a favor."
Gao Han knew that if he agreed immediately, he would not be able to achieve his other goals because it was a very time-consuming project, so he thought of a compromise.
"I know what you mean, and I have another suggestion."
General Shen frowned, and could tell Gao Han was unwilling to do so. However, if he didn't agree, he couldn't force him. He decided to listen to his proposal first. "You say."
"I can teach your people the advanced healing skills I have learned, and let them treat the injured. In this way, if someone gets injured in the future, they can get timely treatment." Gao Han said calmly, as if he didn't know that he was about to take out a huge fortune.
General Shen thought a lot, but he never expected Gao Han to selflessly offer up the coveted advanced healing magic, so much so that he almost couldn't react.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Gao Han nodded, "Of course, I won't charge General Shen any compensation, I just have one request."
General Shen said hurriedly: "You tell me, I will agree to whatever it is."
He was usually calm, but this time he couldn't help himself, fearing that Gao Han would suddenly change his mind.
"I hope you can find the person you trust the most. I don't want to be learned by others." Gao Han said meaningfully.
General Shen knew that he was referring to the Yuan and Tang families, and immediately assured them, "Don't worry, this is a serious matter, I will screen them strictly, but do you really want to dedicate yourself unconditionally?"
Gao Han nodded patiently, "Although I can't do what they do and sacrifice my life without hesitation to protect the country, but if my advanced healing magic can save their lives, it doesn't matter to you."
Compared with the second half, the first half of his sentence is insignificant.
"Gao Han, on behalf of all the soldiers in the entire military region, I salute you." General Shen looked at him deeply and saluted him. The soldiers and officers behind him also saluted. The scene was grand, but the most important thing was the intention.
"There's no need for you to thank us. We, the Zhongli family, can do it ourselves." Zhongli He strode in.
Zhongli Yunfeng had to guard the Imperial Capital Military District, so the Zhongli family also sent Zhongli He over. He just arrived this morning and hurried over when he heard the news here.
"Yes, we'll do it ourselves." A vigorous voice sounded from behind Zhong Li He.
When the young man stuck his head out, Gao Han remembered who he was, Song Mingming.
Noticing his gaze, Song Mingming winked at him.
Gao Han laughed, "You two should each find a trustworthy water spirit refiner. When I find one, I will teach them."
"Is one person enough? Do we need to find a few more? What if one person can't learn it in a short time?" Zhong Lihe thought that he was the younger brother's boyfriend, and felt that the relationship between the two families was so close, so he didn't speak like an elder just because of his age.
"Don't worry, I promise to teach him until he can learn it. If one is not enough, you can let him teach others." Gao Han said.
Zhong Lihe and General Shen were relieved. They didn't expect him to be so considerate. They originally wanted to ask if he could teach other people.
Afterwards, Gao Han helped the wood refiner in the house to treat some soldiers.
If his spiritual art was not water spiritual art, several wood spiritualists would also like to learn a few moves from him.
I originally thought that General Shen and his men might have overestimated this young man, but when I saw him cure several people, I immediately understood why they were so polite to him, and I dared not neglect Gao Han again in the future.
Ever since helping Zhang Hao reattach his arm, Gao Han is no longer the ignorant person who didn't know any healing magic.
He later practiced and learned several healing spiritual arts. As long as the disease was not difficult or complicated, it was not a big problem.
The soldiers saw hope and regained their will to survive, no longer looking so lifeless.
Other students from Penglai have already started to explore outside the city and enter the main disaster area for training under the guidance of their instructors. Only Gao Han has been fighting in the wounded room for two consecutive days.
On the third day, Zhong Lihe and General Shen also brought the selected people to the main disaster area.
They kept this matter a secret and people outside don't know about it yet.
They planned to wait until Gao Han finished teaching before deciding whether to make it public. However, they estimated that they would not be able to keep it a secret for long, as there would be so many people talking and no matter how hard they tried to hide it, they would not be able to conceal it.
During this period, some wounded soldiers who had gone out for training came back. Gao Han used them as examples to teach the two water spirit refiners some more suitable spiritual techniques.
Knowing that they could learn some advanced water healing techniques for free, both of them were very serious and humble, and asked questions when they didn't understand anything, even though they were older than Gao Han.
Fortunately, Zhong Lihe and General Shen’s selection criteria include not only loyalty but also high talent.
If the child's talent is not good and he still can't learn after two days of teaching, Gao Han will not have the patience to teach him any further.
Two days later, seeing that they had finally mastered it and only had practical experience left, Gao Han did not continue and let them figure out the rest on their own.
Although Gao Han said that the teaching was free, Zhong Lihe and General Shen knew that thanks were still needed. They prepared some things as gifts of thanks early on. Zhong Lihe pulled Gao Han to a corner.
"I heard from Tingzhou that you wanted to find Ming Haifeng?" He asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Gao Han knew that he had asked Zhongli Tingzhou about it, so he was not surprised. "I have this idea."
"Oh, Ming Haifeng is said to have gone deep into the main disaster area. It's not easy to find him, but I know that if he wants to break through, he must find the black dragon."
Zhongli He knew that Gao Han had everything he needed now. He had the talismans and could refine the spiritual weapons himself. As for the remaining materials, Tingzhou said that before he went out, he got a large number of spiritual weapon materials from the Ruby Company. After much thought, he could only start with Ming Haifeng.
Of course, not many people knew that Gao Han wanted to find Ming Haifeng, and General Shen asked around but didn't find out anything.
"Why are we looking for the black dragon?" Gao Han asked puzzledly.
"Because the black dragon's crystal core can be used for breakthrough." Zhongli Tingzhou walked over.
Zhong Li He was afraid that his younger brother would steal his credit, so he said, "Yes, yes, yes, but this method is a bit unorthodox, because it is a forced breakthrough. The black dragon's crystal core is full of violent energy, so it will be very dangerous."
“But if you don’t force a breakthrough, given Ming Haifeng’s current age, if he doesn’t break through now, he won’t be able to break through in the future.”
"Where can we find the black dragon?" The main disaster area is so large that Gao Han hasn't figured out a good plan yet.
Zhong Li He pulled out a piece of parchment from his pocket. "This is the main disaster area. The red circle is where the black dragon may appear."
Since he was looking for Gao Han, he was naturally fully prepared.
Gao Han opened the map and found that it was the entire territory. Compared with the maps of the main disaster areas sold outside, it was much more detailed. "Brother He San, this kind of map should not be sold to the public, right?"
"Of course, this map was drawn by the military after they sent troops deep into the country to explore the area bit by bit. Many people were sacrificed, and the map was only circulated internally." Zhong Lihe smiled when he saw how knowledgeable he was.
