With a loud bang.

The peregrine falcon was smashed into the ground.

The Qin army exerted force and blasted the injured peregrine falcon into the ground.

The battle began to become one-sided.

No matter whether it was the mutant creatures attacking the city or the higher-level mutant creatures such as the poisonous tank scorpions, when they began to show signs of defeat, the poisonous tank scorpions knew that defeat was inevitable and immediately sent out a signal to retreat.

If the higher mutant creatures want to leave, it will be difficult to stop them unless there is a big difference in strength.

When Grandpa Zhongli saw several advanced mutant creatures that had escaped for some distance, a longbow instantly appeared in his hand and he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The flying arrow was like an erupting storm. Wherever it passed, strong winds blew up. The grass and trees dozens of meters away were uprooted. It was like an atomic bomb falling to the ground, and a huge mushroom cloud rose in an instant.

When the mushroom cloud dissipated, one of the several figures escaping in the air was gone.

Cheers from countless people rang out on the city wall.

Finally, the war is over.

"My dream has actually come true." Someone cried with joy.

"It's worth it to be able to see these mutant creatures fleeing in this lifetime."

"Even if my legs are crippled, I have no regrets."

Not only did they win, they won beautifully, killing countless mutant creatures and several higher-level mutant creatures, achieving significant results.

It can be said that this war was the only major battle in the history of City No. 1 in which the mutant creatures were defeated, and they were made to flee in panic, and they had to go back to where they came from. It is worthy of being recorded in history.

Gao Han came to Zhongli Tingzhou.

"Are you okay?" Before he could open his mouth, Zhongli Tingzhou took the lead.

Gao Han shook his head, "I should be the one asking you this."

Zhongli Tingzhou put away his sword and said arrogantly: "If anything happens to everyone else, nothing will happen to me."

Gao Han blinked and looked at Master Zhongli who was not far behind him, "Including the old man?"

Zhongli Tingzhou squinted at him, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhongli remained calm and showed a fatherly smile. He began to ask everyone to clean up the battlefield, and asked Zhongli He and others to lead a team to search the nearby area to prevent any mutant creatures from returning.

Although the war was won, there are still many things that need to be repaired.

The city walls need repairing, and so does the underground, and it’s a huge project.

Because of the man-eating ants, this time they paid great attention to repairing the ground and underground. Many people devoted themselves to post-disaster reconstruction. Although it was troublesome and hard, the city was filled with joy.

Until a piece of bad news came, instantly diluting the joy brought by the victory.

City No. 2 also encountered a sudden attack by a group of advanced mutant creatures. Unlike City No. 1, they were able to prepare in advance because Gao Han saw through their plan in advance.

City No. 2 was attacked completely unexpectedly, not much later in time than City No. 1.

Although the government later sent strong men to provide support, which prevented City No. 2 from being breached, there were heavy casualties. It is said that the scene was so tragic that the people who came to report had red eyes.

Mr. Zhongli immediately called everyone to the conference room and informed them of the matter.

"This time, the mutants suddenly attacked two cities at the same time. The higher-ups suspect that these mutants may have other actions in the future. They are likely unwilling to be confined to the main disaster area and are preparing to launch a real challenge to humans."

"Do they want to go to all-out war with humans?" someone asked.

"This is still uncertain, but it's pretty close. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

Once a full-scale war breaks out between humans and mutant creatures, those affected will no longer be limited to a small area.

"I called everyone to the meeting this time because there is another matter. City No. 2 has suffered heavy losses and we need some people to provide support," said the old man.

"I'll go." General Shen said with a sullen face.

The old man had this in mind, and he even mentioned Zhong Lihe's name, "Ah He, come along too. Bring half of the water spirit refiners from City One. This is all we can do to help."

"If they leave, what if those advanced mutant creatures come again?" Chen Tang asked hurriedly.

"In this battle, they lost at least five high-level warriors and countless subordinates. They dare not come again in the short term. Colonel Chen's worries are unnecessary." General Shen said lightly.

After the meeting, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted. Only now did they realize that victory in a battle meant nothing. Only the victory of humanity was of epoch-making significance.

After Zhongli He and General Shen gathered the men, they left City No. 1 that day and rushed to City No. 2 without stopping.

A few hours later, Yuan Yuxian also came back.

Fortunately, she fulfilled her mission. She led the people assigned to her by Zhongli He and dug up the peregrine falcon's nest thoroughly.

They removed the cores of all blue-barked trees that were over five hundred years old.

After the task was accomplished, they did not dare to return immediately, but hid in a place far away from the battlefield until the war was over, then they hurried back.

Gao Han asked Zhongli Tingzhou to take the others to report to Grandpa Zhongli, and took Yuan Yuxian to his room.

"Didn't Auntie encounter those defeated higher-level mutant creatures?"

"No, we didn't dare show up." Yuan Yuxian took out a storage bag, "This is part of the heart of the blue-skinned tree."

"Aunt, please keep it. My dad doesn't need so much." Gao Han didn't take it.

Yuan Yuxian shook his head and said helplessly: "We don't need so many. You don't think that everyone has the talent to be a talisman master like your father."

Gao Han paused. His father had made such rapid progress in this area that he had even forgotten that not all talisman masters could draw top-level talismans.

"Take these. I've kept a little for myself. It's enough. If you think you're getting a bargain, wait until your father draws a top-level talisman and give me a few."

Why did the Yuan family only monopolize the market for superior talismans instead of choosing top-level talismans? Because this thing cannot be monopolized just by saying so.

Even if the Yuan family does not have a monopoly, there are not many top-level talismans on the market.

"By the way, didn't you just win a battle? Why do everyone else look so bitter and resentful?" Yuan Yuxian stuffed the storage bag into his hand and asked again.

Gao Han sighed and told her the situation in City No. 2, "Tingzhou's third brother and General Shen have already gone there."

Yuan Yuxian was silent for a moment, "That's good, I plan to go back to the capital today, do you want to go with me?"

Gao Han shook his head. "You go first. I still have some things to do. But there is one thing I need to trouble you with."

"Go ahead."

Gao Han asked her to help investigate the matter of Chen Jiaqing and Wang He.

Yuan Yuxian hesitated for a second, "Is it because of Zhongli Tingzhou?"

Gao Han nodded, "The people of Mo Ling already know that he is the Demon King, and the Yuan family will definitely know it too."

Yuan Yuxian looked at him with a complicated expression and sighed, "Why is it Zhongli Tingzhou?"

"Why can't it be him?" Gao Han asked calmly.

Yuan Yuxian frowned, "Didn't he tell you about Zhongli's family situation and his mother's affairs?"

Gao Han raised his eyes in surprise and looked at her, "Aunt knows about his mother?"

Yuan Yuxian was startled. Seeing that he didn't look like he didn't know anything, she asked in surprise, "So you knew it a long time ago. Did he tell you on his own initiative?"

Gao Han hummed, "I did say something, but I don't know the details."

Yuan Yuxian said: "If you really want to know, maybe you can ask Mr. Zhongli. Given how much Zhongli Tingzhou cares about you, Mr. Zhongli might tell you."

"Thank you, aunt." These words reminded Gao Han that he had originally planned to look for the old man, but not because of this matter.

In the afternoon, Yuan Yuxian left.

Gao Han went to see the students and tutors of Penglai University again.

"Teacher Zhao, what's the situation? When do you plan to go back?"

When Long Zhan heard about the incident in City No. 2, he left in a hurry, because there were also students training in City No. 2 and the situation was not very good.

After this battle, Teacher Zhao has a new respect for Gao Han. His current strength is no longer the second-class cultivation level on the surface. Even the high-level mutant creatures equivalent to first-class strongmen have suffered great losses. Naturally, he will no longer regard him as an ordinary student.

"We'll leave tomorrow. The purpose of this training has been achieved. There's no need to stay any longer."

Gao Han asked about everyone's casualties.

In this battle, several students from Penglai University died, but compared with the past, the number of casualties was very low, and most of them were only slightly injured.

Teacher Zhao was already very satisfied, but he also knew that the low casualty data was closely related to Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.

Gao Han thought that it was because of the protection of both Mentor Zhao and Mentor Long Zhan.

"When I return this time, I will commend you and Zhongli Tingzhou for your contributions to the school."

Gao Han didn't care about the credit, "Whatever, no need to give praise."

Teacher Zhao shook his head and said, "I know you don't care, but the procedures must be followed. Su Zhouhe and Changze have performed well this time. They are helping to take care of the injured. You can go and have a look."

Gao Han was about to go over, so he said goodbye to Teacher Zhao.

The underground of the treatment area was severely damaged and has been moved to another spacious area.

Gao Han walked in and the atmosphere inside was not so heavy. It seemed that everyone didn't know about what happened in City No. 2.

Su Zhouhe and Zhongli Changze are helping to look after the injured students.

"Gao Han, why are you here?" Su Zhouhe turned around and saw him.

"Let me take a look." Gao Han noticed that his aura was different from before, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you made a breakthrough?"

Su Zhouhe smiled and said, "It was a fluke."

"It's more than just luck. Your friend is too bold." Zhongli Changze saw Gao Han coming and walked over. "He broke through directly on the battlefield. He is really an example of someone who thinks his life is too long."

"I didn't expect this, but thank you very much." Su Zhouhe had no choice. He knew that the battlefield was the best experience for him, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"You guys? It sounds like something else happened?" Gao Han said with interest.

They were not together when the war broke out, so he had no idea what happened.

Zhongli Changze shrugged nonchalantly, "Nothing much, Changqing and I just helped him guard for a while when he was breaking through."

"The real situation is not as easy as he said. If it weren't for them, I would have died no less than ten times. I owe you a big favor." Su Zhouhe is not an ungrateful person. He will not forget such a big favor.

Zhongli Changze didn't like talking about these things, so he changed the subject to Gao Han, "Gao Han, if you have nothing else to do, come and help. General Shen and my dad have taken away half of the wood spirit refiners, and we don't have enough manpower here."

Looking at Zhongli Changze's expression, it seemed that he knew the secret. Gao Han did not tell anyone about City No. 2 in public. He wanted to make others happy first, as it would not be so easy in the future.

With his joining, the remaining healing spirit refiners suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

He was busy all the time until evening, and Zhongli Tingzhou came to find him.

"Not finished yet?"

When Zhongli Changze saw his uncle frowning, he immediately said, "It's almost done. We can do the rest. Aunt, you and uncle can go first."

Gao Han glanced at him. He didn't dare to shout when Zhongli Tingzhou was around during the day, but he started shouting as soon as Zhongli Tingzhou came. This was just flattery. Seeing Zhongli Tingzhou's brows relaxed, he realized that he really knew how to flatter.

"Have the urban construction issues been dealt with?" Gao Han asked as he walked out of the treatment area.

Zhongli Tingzhou said very straightforwardly, "I don't know."

Gao Han was surprised. "You don't know? Then where did you go all afternoon?"

Zhongli Tingzhou frowned instead, "Have you forgotten what happened during the war?"

Gao Han was confused. What did he forget?

Zhongli Tingzhou pulled him back to his residence unhappily. When he opened the door, he saw a man lying on the floor with his eyes closed, and Fugui was stepping on his face.
