Bulwark of Light

Investigate Legion’s second team and conducted a three-day special training in Kubao.

The next “maze mission” is crucial.

There will be a total of twelve transcenders, who will leave the fortress, cross the northern border, and arrive at the [Old World]… and this special training will also filter out suitable candidates for the final departure.

Gu Shen participated in the entire three-day training.

He is a “newcomer” in the true sense. Regarding the control skills of the source armor, the knowledge of survival outside the fortress, and the experience of exploration tasks, these aspects are almost zero… but Gu Shen’s performance surprised all members of the Legion survey.

This youngster is very strong.

Even if the competition is fair, it can be squeezed into the final “Twelve” list.

Three days are fleeting.

Today is departure day.

Gu Shen wears the “fourth rank source armor” that investigates Legion’s silver white. As A’er said, when they really want to go to the “battlefield”, warriors will wear the armor with higher strength than their own. First Rank Trait Source Armor.

The fourth rank source A can carry the power of transcenders above ten layers in the deep water area.

Its source power is stronger and the texture is more tenacious.

This investigation team that went to explore the maze has a total of two teams, the main team and the sub-team. In the 12-person lineup, in addition to the spiritual assistant Li Chen who awakened [Original Eye], The others are all third rank transcenders.

The home team is led by Yuan Yuan, who is responsible for opening the way in front.

The captain of the deputy team is named Su He. This is a deeply hidden middle-aged man. His appearance is unremarkable, but his strength is very strong. Gu Shen estimates that Su He’s strength is in the deep-sea Ninth Layer Peak. The fourth rank to breakthrough is only a line away.

Gu Shen was naturally assigned to the “Deputy Team”.

Although he did not fall behind in the special training these days and performed well, the investigation Legion still put him in the “protection position”.

This is an important figure that needs to be “protected”.

Gu Shen said nothing and silently accepted the arrangement.

For him… this is the first time to go to the [Old World], there is no need to take care of him, to follow this experienced team together, and to be able to return smoothly, then the mission is a success.

As for the clue to “Cane Sawdust”, anything can happen in [Old World].

Hope to find it.

But if you walk through the labyrinth and find nothing, it can only be said to be the arrangement of fate.

On the giant wall.

There are twelve silhouettes standing, with giant boats suspended above the clouds.

Farther on the giant ship.

There is a sky-shielding barrier made up of tens of millions of transparent floating boards densely packed together. This is the direct barrier between the huge wall of the fortress and the [Old World].

This is a massive Epic Grade energy shield.

Humans have never given up exploring the world beyond the giant wall.

And, with the development of technology, Beizhou little by little tries to push beyond the fortress, and in the orderly collapsed world, it can extend outward…like a big tree, in the The branches and trunks spread underground, and the more they extend, the greater the hope of survival.

This huge protective shield is like a big umbrella, covering the ceiling of the fortress.

Therefore, it is called the “Umbrella Line of Defense”.

The furnace underground in the central city burns “energy” continuously, just to support this huge line of defense.

Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He said softly: “Investigate the second battalion of Legion, the special operations team, all members are in place, please open the ‘energy shield’.”

“Received. “

Zou Hai’s calm voice came from the channel of the Gubao Fortress.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! ——”

The floating energy board in the distant sky began to roar, the snow flowed backwards, and a huge suction force was born from outside the giant wall. Opening an extremely narrow gap, the tidal power of the black hole is enough to make people feel terrified.

In comparison, humans are really tiny creatures.

It is hard to imagine that the garrisoners of Kubao Fortress can hold on to this position without taking a step back for hundreds of years.

This moment.

There are tens of millions of naked eye-visible particles on the giant wall, which are rolling back and surging in the boundary of orderly collapse.

Gu Shen gently took a deep breath and looked at the unknown world where the snow was rolling backwards. He knew that from the moment the Kubao Fortress opened the “Umbrella Defense Line”, Yuanjia entered the “Umbrella Defense Line”. Consumed state”, the mask isolates the foul breath of the [old world], and purifies it into a breathable clean gas, apart from this, this outer armor can reduce and increase gravity by itself as the environment changes, but all effects require “burning” “Original energy”, due to technical limitations, the complete burning time of an energy core is about 30 days.

There is ample energy for this operation.

Enough to support the team going back and forth.

Everyone investigating the Legion transcender standing on the giant wall has a very solemn expression. Even if they have participated in dozens of exploration missions, every time they leave the human stronghold, it may mean farewell forever. .

Yuan Yuan’s voice sounded slowly in the central channel.

“Maze 38…the twentieth exploration mission, officially started!”

Twelve pieces of source armor, spewing out snow-white air currents.

In an instant.

Scrambling from above the giant wall.

In just a few seconds, twelve silhouettes rushed out of the “Umbrella Defense Line”, and the floating panels of the Kubao Fortress began to quickly close, again blocking the broken order of the [Old World].

【Deep Sea】cannot be linked in 【Old World】.

The communication between the two parties was interrupted at this brief moment.

The command room of Kubao Fortress was instantly silent.

The command of this operation was carried out by Zou Hai, but all the commanders’ eyes subconsciously looked at the person next to Adjutant Zou.

Lin Lin remained silent the whole time, watching the team leave the fortress.

Because of the “Hong Zhong” incident, there was friction between the Legion 2 team and Kubao. Because of the support of Corps Head, Lin Lin got all the right to handle the incident.

He again refused to investigate Legion’s second team’s request to retrieve the “hero” corpse.

And this decision made both parties very unhappy.

Before the labyrinth mission began, Yuan Yuan did not communicate with Kubao.

And at this moment, the communication is disconnected.

Lin Lin looked at the gradually blurred silhouettes on the screen, and said softly in a very low voice: “I wish you triumph.”

The “Umbrella Defense Line” closed again.

The broken snow in the castle has returned to stability, and this world has become peaceful and calm again.

Zou Hai rubbed his head.

I don’t know the reason…

Maybe it was the reason why Gu Shen was sent away… He always felt that the uneasy premonition in his heart had returned.

……

……

“hong”!

It appears to be the sound of shattered stone chips hitting the breathing mask.

It was probably just a fingernail-sized stone chip.

A slight impact, but a loud roar.

And when Gu Shen pressed the button on the side of the mask.

All the noises from the outside world were blocked, and the sound of stone chips hitting the mask was no longer harsh and harsh, but became very ethereal, like a dream.

It was clearly in turbulent flow, but the environment around the whole person… suddenly became quiet.

Fortunately, in the central control channel, you can still hear the voice of your companions.

“All members, report the situation.”

“The home team, Li Chen, everything is fine.”

“The home team, Mo Hongyi, everything is fine.”

“…”

“Vice team, Jiang Yu, everything is normal.”

“Vice team, Gu Shen, everything is normal.”

Gu Shen is the last to complete the report.

Yuan Yuan’s commanding voice sounded in the central control channel: “Very good…all members, prepare to land.”

Gu Shen looked back and saw pieces of honeycomb fragments. The floating board, under the blowing of the majestic snow, gradually became transparent, and finally only a vague outline remained.

No wonder it’s called the “Umbrella Line of Defense”.

Looking back at the 【Old World】, it really looks like an umbrella.

A giant umbrella covering the human world.

At this moment, Gu Shen felt that there was a powerful force around him, squeezing the “Origin Armor”… The Survival Manual for Legion mentioned that this is the power of the tides from the [Old World] .

This power will have a terrifying corrosive effect on the skin and shell of organic organisms.

The Primordial Armor can block to a great extent.

In fact, even if you don’t have the source armor, you can leave the fortress, as long as your own strength is strong enough… The transcender of the fourth rank segment can resist the “power of the tide” if it can be released outside the field.

But the tidal power of [Old World] is always running and will never stop.

The transcender needs to consume power to release the field.

If it is really a long journey, the consumption will be huge.

Except for Divine Throne and their apostles, few people can do this kind of thing… So some special fortress tasks must be completed by special beings who master the “power of fire”.

“Countdown… three, two, one, the coordinates have been sent, and everyone begins to land!” In the middle, it crossed the arc like a falcon.

【Old World】There are dangers everywhere.

After humans arrived in the five continents, they have explored for six hundred years, and they have only figured out a very small part of the map. People believe that in that dark map, there is a “place of hope”, so The exploration will never stop… But the advancement of each step of the human race means that there are individuals who sacrificed for it.

Gu Shen landed on a “ruin”.

Because the years are too long.

He couldn’t tell what material the “stones” he stepped on at all were made of, but when he lowered his head, he saw a worn and weathered skeleton in the gaps between the layers of ruins… In order to find this piece Safe “landing point”, I don’t know how many people gave their lives.

And the next route.

Each step is walking on the bones of the predecessors.

Gu Shen looks a little complicated.

A palm gently rested on his shoulder.

Looking up, it’s Vice Captain Su He.

This taciturn middle-aged man exudes an air of trustworthy reliability.

“I know what you’re thinking…everyone who sets foot on the soil of the [Old World] probably thinks like this.”

Su He glanced at the gap The skeleton, said softly: “Remember, for the latecomers, at this moment, we are also the predecessors who gave blood. This is what a senior said to me when I first set foot on the [old world]. .”

Gu Shen silently memorized this sentence.

“Leaving the fortress for the first time…don’t worry, just go forward with peace of mind.”

Su He laughed and said, “I have my rear.”

(I have something to do tonight, so sorry for the late update.)
