Chapter 243 Riot in the Deep



City No. 2 was lifted from the ban a month ago, and less powerful spirit refiners are no longer prohibited from entering the main disaster area.

The spirit refiners who came to City No. 2 just to make a fortune in the main disaster area were finally happy. However, it turned out that they were happy too early.

All the nests of higher-level mutant creatures within a two-hundred-mile radius of City No. 2 have been cleared out, leaving only a few corners and crevices for them.

"Who the hell is so wicked that he doesn't leave us anything."

After finding the nests of several medium and high-level mutant creatures in succession, a group of spirit refiners could no longer bear it and roared towards the sky.

His companion comforted him, "Don't curse anymore. It would be bad if someone heard it."

"If you heard it, you heard it. If you have the guts to do it, you can't even let people talk about it." The roaring young man said angrily.

"That depends on the person. I heard that this was done by the Demon King and his boyfriend Gao Han. They are clearing hidden dangers for City No. 2. This is a righteous cause. If word gets out, they may think it's no big deal, but it would be bad if their fans heard it."

By now, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou already have a large group of fans.

If they hear you, they will spit at you to death.

"I, I'm not afraid." The young man said, but he subconsciously looked around, and his behavior betrayed his thoughts.

Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly sneezed and immediately looked at Gao Han who was shaking off the blood on the spirit sword.

"Don't talk to me." Gao Han interrupted him before he could speak.

Zhongli Tingzhou felt wronged, "I haven't spoken yet."

Gao Han had a blank expression on his face. "You didn't say anything, but it's written on your face. I don't want to discuss this topic with you."

"Why? Are you finally getting tired of me?" Zhongli Tingzhou had a resentful expression on her face.

Gao Han felt a chill, put away his spiritual sword, took out another dagger, and began to cut up the dead advanced mutant creatures in front of him. He collected all the usable parts.

Soon, only a skeleton was left of the dead advanced mutant creature.

"Instead of wasting time talking, you'd better look around and see if there are any other things, especially black crystal fragments." Gao Han automatically ignored his topic.

"This guy is so poor, how could he have it?" Zhongli Tingzhou sighed. He had seen it a long time ago.

Gao Han frowned, "That's troublesome. We have killed seven or eight advanced mutant creatures so far this month, and we are still going deeper and deeper into the disaster area, but we haven't found a single black crystal fragment. The probability of us finding a few black crystal fragments is not proportional to our previous chance."

Zhongli Tingzhou said seriously: "You are worried that the black crystal fragments that were scattered outside have been taken back."

"It is possible that the human leaders have been collecting these black crystal fragments." Gao Han asked.

"They will definitely collect them. Although the black crystal fragments are of no use to human cultivation, we cannot allow the mutant creatures to continue to grow stronger, so the government will still send people to collect them. I heard that they have also developed new types of weapons through the black crystal fragments, but this thing cannot be mass-produced, so it is of no use."

Zhongli Tingzhou doesn't want power, but he will still know the secrets he should know.

"I have two guesses now. Either we are just too unlucky and the mutant we chose just happens not to have any black crystal fragments. Or these fragments were summoned back by the powerful mutant deep in the disaster area for some purpose, or they simply don't want to be snatched away by humans. But the former is more likely."

Gao Han was more inclined to believe that the black crystal fragments might be useful to that powerful mutant creature.

If this is true, the other party must be planning some big conspiracy, and humans must prepare early.

"Let's go back to City No. 2 first and inform them of the news." Gao Han made a prompt decision.

The two returned along the same route and met some spirit refiners who were wandering around on the way.

"You didn't find any mutant creatures either?" A young spirit refiner came over enthusiastically.

Gao Han was stunned for a moment.

Everyone took his reaction as consent.

"It seems there are no more ahead. I ran dozens of miles for the first time and didn't encounter even a single mutant creature. In the past, wasn't there one every five steps and a group every ten steps?"

"That's an exaggeration, but things are different now. I don't know whether I should thank them for helping us eliminate the threat, or blame them for blocking our path to wealth."

"Forget it, let's go back. If we go any further, it will be really dangerous."

"No, we have been in the main disaster area for more than half a month. I am unwilling to go back empty-handed. Let's wait a little longer." The young spirit refiner said unwillingly.

Ever since the higher mutant creatures were destroyed, some intelligent middle and lower mutant creatures have been hiding and dare not come out.

The spirit refiners who have always been chased by the mutated creatures are now chasing the mutated creatures instead, and have to worry about being run away by them. When they catch up with them, the gains are not as much as the effort they put in, and everyone is very tired.

After listening to their conversation, Gao Han finally understood the reason. It turned out that these people did not recognize that he and Zhongli Tingzhou were the culprits.

He had indeed heard from his third brother Zhongli about the complaints from other spirit refiners about them.

I didn't expect to hear it with my own ears. When I heard them say that they had no results in more than half a month, I didn't feel guilty, but I did feel a little sympathy.

"You might as well go west. The mutant creatures there have not been cleared out yet." Gao Han said kindly.

"Really?" The young spirit refiner looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Of course it's true. If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise the city could be closed again at any time."

"Brother, thank you so much. If we really encounter mutant creatures, I will never forget you." The young spirit refiner said happily.

Gao Han nodded slightly and took Zhongli Tingzhou to say goodbye to them.

"Hey, don't you find it strange? How does he know that the mutant creatures in the west have not been cleared? I remember they clearly came from the south."

After they left, a companion of the young spirit refiner said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Oh, that's right." The young spirit refiner was confused. How did they know that?

The companion suddenly said in a trembling voice, "Did you notice that there are two of them, and they smelled quite a bit of blood, as if they had just killed a lot of mutant creatures."

There were several gasps in the air.

"Damn it, no way, have we met the real him?" Another companion's face turned pale. They even complained about the two of them in person.

The young soul refiner murmured to himself, "It turns out that they are really as handsome as the rumors on the Internet."

Everyone: “…” After all this talk, your huge head can only hold this little bit.

On the other side, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou also returned to City No. 2. Zhongli He was dealing with some things. When they met General Shen, they asked General Shen to convene a meeting of the senior officials in the city who had a say.

At the meeting, Gao Han shared their findings.

Everyone's expressions became more and more solemn, with only a few remaining calm.

"In fact, we have also received some bad news from above." General Shen was the first to break the silence. After everyone looked at him, he continued, "I was planning to talk about this matter later, but since Gao Han and Tingzhou have already discovered it, I will tell you all at once."

"General Shen, please go ahead. We have heard all the bad news and can bear it." Some generals spoke one after another.

"The mutant creature in the main disaster area should take action within a year. It is related to the black crystal fragments they mentioned. We have always suspected that although the black crystal fragments are broken into pieces, when they are all put together, they will exert their true power, because several black crystal fragments stored by the government were stolen just a month ago."

This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.

Although the black crystal fragments have no effect on humans, the government has kept them secretly to prevent them from being obtained by mutant creatures. They will not be taken out easily unless they are needed for research.

"It was stolen during research. Now we suspect that there are humans collaborating with the mutant creatures in the main disaster area. The most likely suspect is the Sirius faction of the Demon Spirit. They have always been radical."

Gao Han frowned, "But this doesn't make sense. The black crystal fragments can only pose a real threat when they are gathered together. But as far as we know, mutant creatures can digest black crystal fragments."

"Do you mean absorbing the energy of the black crystal fragments?" General Shen asked.

"Just eat the black crystal fragments directly." Gao Han said.

General Shen shook his head. "That's impossible. The military has already tested it. Mutated creatures cannot survive the black crystal fragments. Otherwise, they will explode and die. Even for advanced mutant creatures, it's the same."

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou looked at each other. What was going on with Fugui? At that time, it had eaten more than one piece of black crystal fragment.

"So if the mutant creature really swallowed the black crystal fragments, does it mean that the powerful mutant creature deep in the disaster area can no longer collect all the black crystal fragments?"

"good."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Gao Han asked again.

Seeing that he asked so many detailed questions, General Shen suddenly had a vague guess in his mind, but he did not ask directly, but just said: "It should be a good thing. If they can't collect all the black crystal fragments, their plan cannot be implemented."

Gao Han thought the same thing. "I still have a few pieces of black crystal. If that mutant creature intends to do so, it will definitely target me."

"You guys should be careful recently and try not to go deeper into the main disaster area."

Gao Han also had this plan. He was a little suspicious that if the mutant creature knew that some of them were swallowed by Fugui, it would be so angry that it would run over and kill them.

It turns out that he might have overthought it.

That day had not yet arrived, but one day, a series of horrific riots suddenly broke out deep in the main disaster area.

Waves of pressure came from afar, hundreds or thousands of miles away, and people in City No. 2 could feel it. They were so scared that they ran out. Some people were still using the toilet or taking a shower, but they ran out naked, thinking that the mutant creatures were attacking again.

In addition to the pressure coming from afar, the ground also began to shake slightly.

"What happened?" Everyone looked worriedly towards the depths of the main disaster area.

It had been very peaceful these past few months, and suddenly such a big commotion happened, and everyone was very uneasy.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou also flew into the air and looked into the distance.

"Do you feel anything?" Gao Han asked him.

Zhongli Tingzhou frowned and said, "There are many auras, very weak, but in addition to the advanced mutant creatures in the depths, there seems to be the aura of powerful humans."

How could a strong human being go so deep into the disaster area and cause such a strong fluctuation? It doesn't look like they were unprepared, but more like they went there with a premeditated plan.

Gao Han guessed that the government and the military might have other plans that they hadn't told them.

The riot didn't last long, and after a few minutes, they couldn't feel it anymore.

"Let's go ask General Shen." Since Third Brother Zhongli didn't tell them, it meant that even he didn't know.

Zhongli Tingzhou had no objection. He also wanted to know whether his old man was among them.

The two quickly found General Shen. Surprisingly, Zhongli's third brother was also there, and he did not look well.

They already had the answer in their hearts before they asked.

"Tingzhou, my father also participated in this raid. If it weren't for humans, my father would never have gone. He would have stayed in City No. 1 for the rest of his life." Zhong Lihe's face looked scary.

Although the old man is extremely powerful, this time in order to raid the mutant creatures deep in the disaster area, he sent several top-notch warriors like the old man who are extremely brave. However, even they who are far away on the edge of the disaster area felt this raid. It is conceivable how fierce it was, and we don't know whether the old man is safe or not.

"Shen Hongcheng, why didn't you tell us?" Zhong Lihe glared at General Shen.

General Shen sighed helplessly, "The old man didn't allow me to say it. He just didn't want you to stop him."

"What's the point of talking about this now? What you should be thinking about is how to deal with the worst possible outcome." Zhongli Tingzhou interrupted their conversation impatiently.

What is the worst outcome? If the old man and his men are defeated and can escape successfully, that would be a good thing. If not, humanity will be in big trouble.

Has it finally come to this critical moment where the final winner must be decided?

At this moment, Gao Han was thinking about the destruction of the earth.

According to future records, will the real reason for the destruction of the Earth be the upcoming war between humans and mutant creatures?

I always feel that things are not that simple, otherwise with future technological means, how could we never find out the truth?
