Bulwark of Light

“Captain…Where are we going?”

Mo Hongyi rubbed his head.

The squad members gradually came to their senses. The world outside was covered in silvery white with artillery fire. The roars rang in their ears, and they exploded like drums… The wind pressure in the buffer zone also began to increase. The source energy boat in the sky is in the opposite direction, this is to rush back to the fortress of Kubao.

“The storm is coming.” Zhongyuan said succinctly: “You go back to rest first.”

Unspoken implication, you should not participate in this battle…

Several players looked at each other in blank dismay.

“During this time…you may be quarantined.”

Pause slightly.

Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment and said, “A virus broke out in the fortress of Kubao, and it is very likely that it was brought out from the [Labyrinth]…”

Hearing this , Gu Shen expression congeals.

Sure enough… the things I was worried about still appeared.

The “spiritual toxin” of Jinsuihua was brought back to the fortress by Hong Zhong.

However, fortunately, this “epidemic” did not spread beyond the fortress.

The second team’s pick-up plan should have failed. If Zhongyuan picked up Hong Zhong’s body, then he would not stay in Gubao.

“Isolation?”

Yuan Yuan wrinkled frowned, he subconsciously touched himself, his clothes were still intact, nothing unusual.

“It’s a mental toxin.”

Nakahara sighed softly, and said everything about the fortress for the past few days.

Several people fell silent.

The returnee Hong Zhong, carrying “psychotoxin”, returned to Kubao… The scale of infection has already caused more than 500 people, and this number is still increasing. The most important thing is that this Due to the outbreak of the virus, Kubao is now unable to open the city gates to connect with the outside world.

This news is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

And with the last lesson, this time, Kubao became very cautious when welcoming a group of “returnees” like Gu Shen.

The rescue team is “fully armed”, avoid physical contact as much as possible, even eye contact, no one knows how this strange “psychotoxin” spreads…

Continue down.

They will be sent to quarantine for observation.

Because of the “strange thing” that Hong Zhong squash encountered, it also happened to Gu Shen and the others… In the Life and Death Book, their spirits also briefly fell into a “death” state.

“Captain…We obey the arrangement.”

After hearing this, Yuan Yuan didn’t resist. He seized the time to tell the most important discovery in the labyrinth mission.

The maze has collapsed and can no longer be explored.

The accidental death of Hong Zhong Squad was not an “accident” in the true sense.

The so-called “homecoming hero” is even more nonsense. He not only brought back “mental toxins”, but also killed his teammates with his own hands…

As for Oasis…

It has been completely determined to be “fake news”.

Although all members of this exploration have returned and are safe and sound, which can be called “Great Accomplishment”, the “investigation results” brought back are chilling and even hopeless.

Zhongyuan lowered his eyes after listening, unable to say anything…

He was still digesting the news.

As a Captain, he was very proud of the training atmosphere in the second team and the quality of the players. Every mission can be completed with high quality. These guys are comrades who can entrust their backs… …

But what happened to Hong Zhong was like a sharp long knife, piercing his heart.

People have died, and there is no way to find out the real reason for these things. It may be caused by the spread of “psychotoxin”, or there may be other hidden causes, but these are not important, and the discovery of “oasis” Hong Zhong is a total liar.

It was a big blow for everyone on the second team.

…

…

The entire group of Gu Shen was brought to quarantine.

This is a barren open space near the cemetery. The entire isolation area is not large, it can accommodate about a thousand people, and the composition is very simple. Space Sealed Artifacts are physically isolated, and are roughly divided into two major areas: “Confirmed Persons” and “Suspected Infected Persons”.

Gu Shen They were taken to the “suspected infection area”.

The Elementium Tide strikes.

At this juncture, Kubao really can’t spare more manpower to deal with this “psychotoxin”.

One tent per person.

The drones in the fort are flying back and forth, and they are responsible for providing people with food, water, and some simple services.

Inside the local area network of Kubao, a signal link is established between the quarantine area and the giant wall, so that every quarantined person can receive the latest information.

I can see it.

Once you enter the quarantine area…it will be difficult to get out. This kind of measure taken by Kubao is similar to “docking the tail of a gecko”. The top priority is to solve the “storm” first. Those diagnosed can only wait for the end of the final battle, and then treat them uniformly. There are “rescue teams” wearing full protective suits everywhere in the quarantine area. They are transcenders who have awakened their healing abilities, and they also have spiritual abilities. Toxins, no way.

“Brother Gu… It seems that we can only stay here until the ‘war’ is over.”

Li Chen and Gu Shen walked together, he looked at the suspicious person in front of him. The tents in the infected area looked sad.

No matter how hard he tries, his [Eye of the Source] can only open a line at the moment… This time out of the siege has consumed a lot of spirit strength, even if he is allowed to continue to participate in the battle at this moment, he There is no energy to use the ability anymore.

I have walked several hundred meters all the way. These guys in the suspected infected area are just not very good-looking and a little haggard, but there seems to be nothing abnormal in the “mental” aspect, at least I don’t feel anything weird.

Well…the so-called psychotoxin shouldn’t be so scary, right?

Li Chen comforted himself that during this time, he was just resting here.

“Brother Gu?”

Li Chen noticed that Gu Shen suddenly stopped moving.

Gu Shen stopped in front of the tent.

He silently looked at the “suspected infected people” who walked past him… If he used spirit strength to sense, he would find that most of the people here did not show any unusual behavior. The place, just a little pale.

But…

If you use “fire” induction.

Then it is completely different.

Gu Shen saw the picture in the [Labyrinth]… A wisp of Soul Fire floated out from their heads, that is the mark infected with “Golden Spike Toxin”, and he walked all the way to see The dozens of suspected infected people who arrived were without exception, but their spirits had not been destroyed by toxins.

On the Pure Land.

A wisp of ghostly fire flickered.

Gu Shen felt the “evil power” of Hades, and with just a single thought, he could ignite these “toxins”, and the souls of those infected could be “extracted” at any time .

“Golden Spike Flower.”

Gu Shen uses spirit strength to touch the fire and build a spiritual connection.

The link this time was very fast, and the interaction was completed in an instant, followed by a cautiously voice from the [Old World].

“Master…have you arrived safely?”

Hearing this voice, Gu Shen relaxed a little.

The golden spike is fine.

You must know that the [Old World] at the moment is in a state of turbulent Origin Quality.

However, the serpent’s ability to survive is extremely strong. As long as it is not involved in the storm and survives, it is not a big problem.

Fortunately, Gu Shen gave an order in advance to force the expulsion, otherwise this idiot would have really used his fleshy body to fight the last tornado.

This time we got a response, which is also an important message.

The spiritual exchange in “Netherfire” really achieved the spanning of super-long space distances.

Across the Umbrella Defense Line and a fortress, I can still build a link with Golden Spike Flower, so even if I go further south… this link should not fail.

Gu Shen uses spirit strength to pass back what he sees…

Infected one by one.

And a wisp of soul that can be “extracted” into the Pure Land.

“Look at what you’ve done.”

Assuring that the big guy is all right, Gu Shen’s tone turned stern.

The big snake said aggrievedly: “King, I have already remembered your instructions, there will be no next time.”

“How to remove these ‘toxins’?”

p>

Gu Shen opened his mouth coldly.

“These toxins are not immediately fatal. Those with stronger spirit strength can resist, and there is no problem in dissolving them on their own.” The big snake said slowly: “I originally thought that you would need to rebuild the ‘pure land’ one day, only With those souls in Snow Mountain, it’s not enough, so the toxin will continue to spread, and each time it spreads, it will weaken three points.”

Under the “fiery vision”, Gu Shen looked around. Go-

The entire quarantine area is filled with souls infected by “Golden Spike”.

Hundreds of them.

This “psychotoxin” is not as serious as Gu Shen imagined… There are no dead people yet.

According to Jin Suihua, the more the virus spreads, the weaker its lethality will be. Of course, no matter how weakened it is, this is also a powerful corrosive force that the primary transcender cannot resist, because it is difficult for the psychotoxin to truly Annihilation, once “death” is caused, it will look for the next “host”.

continuously spread, to find the “soul” for the Pure Land.

“If you want to remove toxins… you just need to touch them with ‘ghost fire’, or evoke your ghost fire to attract them.” Jin Suihua said reverently: “I will always follow you, The same is true of my spirit.”

In fact, when it first cast its poison, it never thought of releasing it.

According to the will instilled by the previous Pluto, it is indeed the case… If the previous mad Pluto returned to the [Maze], I am afraid that there are not enough souls in the Pure Land at this moment.

Gu Shen sighed lightly, releasing the “Netherfire” is an impossible thing, which will cause great trouble, and will also lead to the exposure of the power of the fire.

The solution now should be one by one.

It’s not a hassle if you really want to detoxify.

It’s just that this mental toxin has swept the entire Kubao. No one has any countermeasures at present. How should I explain this “weird” power to the Beizhou military?
