With Fugui as a loophole, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou quickly figured out the higher creatures who were joining forces to attack City No. 1.
After figuring it out, Gao Han almost thought he had made a mistake.
Because in previous sieges, the number of advanced mutant creatures at the top of the food chain would never exceed six.
This is still the number of large-scale sieges, but this time, the number of advanced mutant creatures participating in the siege is as high as nine.
Six of them were overlords of the sky, which meant that their analysis that the main force of the siege were flying creatures in the air was not wrong.
The Peregrine Falcon isn't even the most powerful of the six advanced mutant flying creatures.
From this, we can see what the higher mutant creatures are planning in this siege.
They may be planning to take over City No. 1 through this siege.
Gao Han wrote down the information he had obtained and found the trustworthy mentor Long, asking him to take the news to City No. 1 and give it to Grandpa Zhongli.
"What about you guys?" Long Zhan took a look at the intelligence information he gave him, and became more and more shocked.
But Gao Han didn't say anything, and he didn't ask them how they got it.
He did not doubt the information because according to their recent observations, some mutant creatures were indeed stirring, and the gathering of mutant creatures was becoming more and more obvious.
"Don't worry, Master Long. We will return to the city before the siege begins." Gao Han said.
Now the students of Penglai have been driven back to City No. 1 one after another, and those who are able to fight have stayed behind to participate in defending the city.
They will not force those who are not strong enough to fight or want to leave.
Fortunately, no student left, otherwise they would be like deserters on the battlefield. Even if Penglai didn't care, he would be looked down upon by other students.
"Then you guys be careful." Long Zhan did not persuade him. Ever since he knew that Zhongli Tingzhou had broken through to the first level, he was no longer worried.
"We will. By the way, what is the current situation in City No. 1?" Gao Han asked again. He was also very concerned about the battle to defend the city.
"Grandpa Zhongli has already made arrangements. General Shen and the others should be here soon." Long Zhan did not hide anything and told them everything.
Gao Han couldn't help but frown. "So, if we didn't know in advance about the plan of these advanced mutant creatures to attack the city, there might not be many top-level warriors in City No. 1?"
Long Zhan paused for a moment, "It's only been a month since the last siege. Most of the top warriors have their own things to do and can't stay in the city for too long. Do you suspect that there is a traitor among humans?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. Advanced mutants are not much dumber than humans. Perhaps they have also discovered the rules of strong humans defending the city. If it is the latter, we will have to change it in the future."
"Your concerns are reasonable. I will mention it to Master Zhongli, but I need evidence. Otherwise, those top-notch experts would not spend their time in the city for no reason."
Long Zhan felt that this change was not easy because it involved the most powerful group of people in China.
Gao Han was not too worried. "This time it might be a huge blow to the higher mutant creatures."
"I hope so."
…
As time passed, the environment in the main disaster area was no longer suitable for Penglai's students to continue their training.
Because groups of mutated creatures appeared more and more frequently, sometimes two groups could be encountered at a time, it was no longer something that the students of Penglai could handle.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou also returned to City No. 1 with Su Zhouhe and the others.
At this time, the city was under strict martial law, and every returning spirit refiner had to undergo an identity check to make sure there were no problems before they were allowed in.
As soon as Gao Han and his friends returned to the city, they were called over by Grandpa Zhongli and his friends.
Ask about the joint siege of the city by higher beings.
The two of them had already found out almost everything.
"There are nine advanced mutant creatures in total. Six of them are good at air attacks and will serve as the main force. They are the Peregrine Falcon, the Bearded Vulture, and the Southern Cassowary..."
Every time Gao Han talked about a high-level mutant creature, it was extraordinary. Some of them couldn't fly before the mutation, but after the mutation, not only did their wings evolve again, but their temperaments also became more brutal.
The more people listened in the conference room, the heavier their expressions became.
They had prepared for the worst, but they didn't expect the actual situation to be worse than they imagined.
There are so many advanced flying mutant creatures, no matter which one, the attack power and combat capability are very strong.
"The problem is, these advanced mutant creatures, no matter which one, are the overlords of the main disaster area. How could they suddenly gather together? Where did you get the information?" Chen Tang was very suspicious. How could such an important event be discovered by them?
"It doesn't matter where we got it from. What matters is that it came true." Gao Han glanced at him.
Zhongli Tingzhou would not let anyone bully his boyfriend. He cast an oppressive gaze on Chen Tang and said, "Colonel Chen, if you don't believe me, you can go out of the city and investigate it yourself."
Chen Tang's face rose slightly, not because he had no words to refute, but because he suddenly discovered that Zhongli Tingzhou's strength had become even stronger.
Before, it was clearly second class, but now it has become first class.
Everyone shook their heads. This matter had basically been confirmed, and raising doubts now would be unreasonable.
Everyone looked at Grandpa Zhongli, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"With so many advanced mutant creatures, it looks like the one in the depths is going to make some movement." Old Master Zhongli frowned.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy.
Once the mutated creatures deep within the main disaster area decide to wage direct war against humans, there will inevitably be countless casualties.
"You have worked hard. Go and have a rest first. I will inform you if there is any situation." Old man Zhongli suddenly said to Gao Han and his youngest son.
Gao Han really had no interest in the subsequent discussion, so he just left.
"Don't you want to listen?" Gao Han saw Zhongli Tingzhou walking out with him.
"My wife has left, so why should I stay?" Zhongli Tingzhou said speechlessly.
Gao Han was too lazy to correct himself. Habits were terrible things.
"It's you!" A person walked over from the opposite side.
Gao Han looked up and found that he looked familiar.
"Who is this person?" Zhongli Tingzhou frowned unhappily when he saw him staring at Gao Han.
Gao Han remembered, "It seems to be General Lei's son."
"What do you mean 'as if'? I am Lei Jinchuan. How could you forget about me?" Lei Jinchuan looked incredulous.
Zhongli Tingzhou sneered: "Is being the general's son so great? I am still the general's younger brother."
Lei Jinchuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Was this the Zhongli Tingzhou whose aura was as cold as a snow lotus on a mountain?
Gao Han nudged him lightly with his elbow, reminding him to be more careful about his image.
Zhongli Tingzhou curled his lips and said, I am who I am, a different firework.
Gao Han covered his forehead, this guy.
Not until they left as if no one was around did Lei Jinchuan come to his senses, with a look of complete utter failure on his face. Had his personality changed after entering the main disaster area, or had Zhongli Tingzhou been pretending all along?
"Young Master, I have already found out what you asked me to investigate." Guo Xing appeared out of nowhere.
Lei Jinchuan then looked at him, "Have you really found out?"
"Really? A friend of mine is one of the people guarding the city. They have received a transfer order saying that many people who are good at long-range attacks have been transferred to the city wall and will serve as the main force." If it weren't for a friend, Guo Xing would not have dared to promise Lei Jinchuan to take on this matter.
"There is indeed a problem, but what's wrong with talking about this kind of thing?" What puzzled Lei Jinchuan the most was that the top management seemed to be keeping this matter very secret, and even Chen Tang refused to say anything.
"Master Lei, do you want to know why?"
Just then, a man came over and spoke with a smile.
Lei Jinchuan raised his eyelids and found that it was a stranger. "Who are you?"
"Young Master, I know him. He is a member of the Tang family." Guo Xing said carefully.
"The Tang family?" Lei Jinchuan knew the Tang family, but he had never had much contact with them. He immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be possible that you knew about this?"
How could a member of the Tang family know something that even I don't know?
Lei Jinchuan didn't care.
"Of course I know. Isn't Mr. Lei curious why Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were called to a meeting by Mr. Zhongli as soon as they came back?" Tang Zongping said with a smile, as if he didn't care about Lei Jinchuan's attitude, but he cursed him hundreds of times in his heart.
Of course Lei Jinchuan was curious, otherwise he wouldn't have blocked them. On the surface, it looked like an accidental encounter, but in fact, he did it on purpose.
"What does it have to do with you?" Lei Jinchuan would not admit it and let others know that he cared about Zhongli Tingzhou's every move.
Tang Zongping shrugged, "It has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with Master Lei. If my guess is correct, the news of the mutant creatures attacking the city should have been brought by Zhongli Tingzhou and his men. If the news is true, it is a great achievement, and everyone will definitely compare you to me."
What Lei Jinchuan hated most in his life was that people compared him to Zhongli Tingzhou.
It would be fine if he was better than Zhongli Tingzhou, but no matter what, he was far behind him. Hearing these words made him even more annoyed.
"What's your purpose in suddenly saying these things to me?" Lei Jinchuan is not stupid. Even if he dislikes Zhongli Tingzhou, he doesn't like being used by others.
"Haha, I just want to remind Young Master Lei that the next battle to defend the city will probably be more tragic and more chaotic than before. You are General Lei's only son, so you must take good care of yourself and don't let anyone take advantage of you. If anything happens to you, General Lei will also be greatly hit." After Tang Zongping finished speaking, he left.
Lei Jinchuan frowned, "What does he mean?"
Guo Xing immediately explained: "What he meant was that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack you, young master."
His eyes flickered, and he added, "Young Master, instead of doing this, why don't we take the initiative? Don't you hate Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou?"
Lei Jinchuan glanced at him with a strange expression, "Strike first to gain the upper hand? Haha."
Guo Xing forced himself not to ask him what he thought, the "ha" at the end looked a bit strange.
…
"What's the matter that you called me here for?" As soon as the meeting was over, Zhong Lihe was told that Gao Han and his brother were looking for him.
Gao Han didn't say anything and directly took out a blue-skinned tree from Yayoi's ring.
The situation was urgent at the time, so he brought back the whole tree.
"Look what this is, brother."
"What is this?" Zhong Lihe stared at the blue-skinned tree for a long time, his expression solemn. "What is this?"
“……” Gao Han found that he had overestimated him.
Zhongli Tingzhou couldn't stand his third brother being too stupid, "It's Lanpishu, how can he be so stupid? You are a colonel."
Zhong Li He was not angry, and even did not care. He gave his reaction to the blue-skinned tree, "Where did you get this blue-skinned tree? It must be seven hundred years old, right?"
"Seven hundred and sixty years to be exact." Yuan Yuxian walked in from outside.
Gao Han also called her over. "This is what we found in the Peregrine Falcon's territory. There are many that are over 500 years old inside, and those outside are only 100 or 200 years old."
"I said there couldn't be no blue-skinned trees in the main disaster area. It turns out they are hidden in the territory of higher-level mutant creatures." Zhong Lihe sighed.
This is the territory of the Peregrine Falcon. If an ordinary spirit cultivator sneaks in, he will probably die before he finds the blue-skinned tree.
Yuan Yuxian also said: "No wonder we haven't found it before."
"Aunt, how are your injuries and those of great grandfather, as well as Grandpa Ming and the others?" Gao Han asked when he had time.
"They left first. Your great-grandfather couldn't wait, so he left me here to wait for you. Do you want to stay and wait for the mutant creatures to attack the city?" Yuan Yuxian originally wanted to go with him, but judging from the situation, he probably wouldn't leave.
Gao Han nodded, "I will have to experience this sooner or later."
Yuan Yuxian did not try to persuade her.
"I called you here this time because I want you to send a group of people in to raid Peregrine's home after he leaves." Gao Han went straight to the point.
Zhongli He and Yuan Yuxian had actually guessed it, so they weren't too surprised.
"The siege will be over in a few days at most. Then you can find a place to hide until it's over."
Zhongli He immediately gave a thumbs up, this move was amazing.
If the peregrine falcon had managed to return to its territory alive and saw that all the blue-skinned trees in the territory had been cut down, it would have been pissed off to death if it had not died on the battlefield.
