Bulwark of Light

2022-09-29

At the normal speed of the energy boat, it will take about a whole day to fly from the fortress to the central city. .

Lin Lin’s airship is already very small, but with only two passengers, the space inside the boat is extraordinarily wide.

Having previously sailed with Amir, Gu Shen has been in a state of visualization cultivation.

But when traveling with Lin Lin, he doesn’t need to carry it, and he doesn’t need to be polite.

Gu Shen walked straight to the armory, speculating about the “cutting-edge technology products” of the Beizhou military.

“Huh…this thing is a bit novel.”

Gu Shen’s eyes were fixed on the “new weapon” hanging on the wall.

“The Primordial Hand Cannon, which can only be used at short and medium distances, is much more lethal than the Primordial Pistol, but also has greater recoil.” Lin Lin said indifferently, “Have you ever seen it at Eastern Continent? ?”

“I haven’t seen it yet.”

Gu Shen honestly looked at the head, the Eastern Continent transcender he saw, and the battles he launched were more personal. It is the fighting style hatched by the “three institutes” system, which is regulated by the command post, cooperates with each other, and performs tasks.

I have seen military energy weapons a few times.

But “Hand Cannon”…it’s the first time I’ve seen it.

“If you have a chance, you can try it.” Lin Lin said: “But don’t stay on the boat. If you hit it right, this thing can seriously damage the third stage transcender.”

Gu Shen put the gun back.

He looked at it for a while. The weapons developed by the Beizhou military are rich in variety and have extraordinary lethality. Each energy boat is a mobile armory. These energy weapons, strong logic weapons. , are all standard in the boat… After reading it, Gu Shen had a puzzlement in his heart.

Gu Shen did not participate in the last “Storm Fight”.

But Chu Ling later sent back images of the giant wall.

Thousands of energy boats arrived, and the endless firepower poured out, shattering the storm!

The battle was “clean”, and it was all about suppressing firepower.

If the meaning of the existence of the giant wall is to resist the “elemental tide”, then why is it necessary to deploy so many soldiers? It seems that [Deep Sea] can win such a war alone.

Lin Lin glanced at Gu Shen, this guy seemed to have the ability to read minds, and said: “Many years ago, when the Iron Vault Emperor resisted the storm, there was no [Deep Sea] this thing, and long ago, We don’t even have a fortress, we can only build a ‘giant wall’ with our flesh and blood.”

Gu Shen immediately understood what Lin Lin meant.

In the past few years, mankind has ushered in the rapid growth of science and technology. The weapons, transcenders, and Legion quality of the Beizhou military have all received a blowout leap!

The ability to guard huge walls is a discipline and habit that runs through hundreds of years.

“The bill to develop and popularize fully automatic weapons was proposed as early as 20 years ago.” Lin Lin said faintly: “Imagine that on the huge wall, there are countless [Sky Eyes] suspended. , there are countless energy cannons towering high, and behind the buffer zone is another buffer zone. If there is a ‘source tide’, we don’t need to be nervous… Just press a button and wait for [Deep Sea] to solve the crisis, the whole The process doesn’t need to do anything, just hide away and fill the ammunition, doesn’t this future sound very good?”

Gu Shen was lost in thought.

He slowly shook the head.

“No… such a future is not a good future.”

The overwhelming majority of Wuzhou already firmly believes that the future of mankind will become better because of the [deep sea].

In fact it is.

【Deep Sea】brings a new round of human evolution.

But if Beizhou Fortress implements this system, then it is equivalent to handing over the button of fate to AI.

In this ethnic group, there are always people who walk between life and death, fighting against the wind and snow on the front line and against the darkness. They are the whistleblowers of human destiny, and the strugglers who hold the line between life and death.

Lin Lin smiled.

“Beizhou is using [Deep Sea], but Beizhou doesn’t believe in [Deep Sea].” The young brigadier general drank tea, sat in the main pilot position of the airship, and turned on the automatic stance of [Deep Sea]. With his feet up in front of the big screen, he said with a slight sarcasm: “If we want to hand over our destiny to a program, a super-brain that can’t find where the main body is, then it is equivalent to pointing a gun at his own head… The men of Beizhou guard this land with their blood, not only for the sake of all human beings, but to be selfish, in fact, for ourselves.”

Gu Shen does not think this is a kind of selfishness.

Today’s five continents are independent and have their own “systems”.

Northern Continent fights the storm and resists the erosion of the [Old World], no matter from what angle… This is the righteous act of defending the destiny of all mankind.

So many transcenders come to Beizhou to join Legion every year.

They swear, they grow, they die.

Blood is spilled, and the giant wall remains.

“So…that bill?”

“Of course it was rejected.” Lin Lin took a sip of tea, slightly paused between words, and lowered his eyes and said, “It was rejected. I’m…rejected by Your Majesty, the great queen.”

If it’s the divine throne.

So…the bill is indeed impossible to advance.

The member of the highest seat has one veto power.

“Of course, aside from this reason…there are other factors as well.” Lin Lin’s expression became solemn, he looked at Gu Shen, and asked earnestly, “What do you think about the [old world]… Are there only frost and snow and storms?”

Gu Shen was silent for a moment when he asked this question.

Before leaving for Beizhou.

His answer was yes.

【Old world】In that kind of place, no creatures can survive, except for frost, snow, storms, there is only endless chaos and broken order.

But now…

He saw the golden ear flower at the end of the 【Maze】.

“Look at this guy.”

Lin Lin extended the hand, patted the big dog sleeping obediently under him, Faintly said: “As the black spots keep coming Breeding in the five continents, there are more and more disordered supernatural sources, and the phenomenon of supernormal awakening has become more and more serious in recent years… Even dogs can awaken, so other creatures cannot rule out the possibility of ‘awakening’.”

The Labrador Retriever raised its head and looked at its owner with a resentful expression.

Gu Shen noticed that after boarding the airship, the big dog slumped.

“It doesn’t seem to have any energy?”

“Airsickness, fear of heights, and I ate too much this morning.”

Lin Lin’s voice was calm: “This guy It’s the dog I raised since I was a child. After awakening, it has no ability that people should have, but it has a lot of diseases that only people can get.”

Gu Shen: “…”

“Who can guarantee that no creatures will survive in the [Old World]?” Lin Lin let out his eyes and muttered softly: “For so many years, the Legion has been out and about to carry out missions because everyone is willing to believe that there is an ‘oasis’ in the shattered world… …there is fresh oxygen and water, plenty of sunshine, no black spots, and it’s an eternal home.”

“Actually…there really is an oasis, which is the most terrifying thing. .”

He turned his head to look at Gu Shen: “Suppose there is such a place, with water and sunshine, that is extremely livable… Then before humans set foot, there should be some kind of place growing in that place. Creatures are right. Humans are looking for them across the [old world], and they should be looking for human beings, so if one day we find an oasis… Is that really a good thing?”

Chu Ling, who is quietly listening , at the moment she spoke, she said in Gu Shen’s mind: “I have read a great science fiction story, which is somewhat similar to what Lin Lin said… If this is the case, after finding the ‘oasis’, the fate of mankind will be very likely. It’s miserable.”

“From the day I entered the castle, I told myself…[The old world] is not just a storm.” Lin Lin narrowed his eyes and his voice became cold: “Maybe One day…there will be other things.”

Lin Lin’s words, like a basin of cold water, made Gu Shen wake up.

He ignored the behind-the-scenes meaning of the existence of “Golden Spike”.

Pluto cast a life in the [Old World]… The growth of this life is enough to prove one thing, that is, there are creatures that can survive and grow in the [Old World].

In the huge dark night outside the giant wall, there may be more than one “traveler”.

Except for humans.

Perhaps…other creatures are on the way.

[“Master.”]

Gu Shen in this brief moment try to link the Divine Sea of Golden Spike Flower.

Going south from Gubao, it has entered the inland of Beizhou… Fortunately, the speed of the spiritual link between the two is still very fast, which makes Gu Shen feel a little relieved.

【“Why do I feel that your mind is not at peace?”]

The voice of the big snake is very respectful.

“The map of the [Old World] is not yet clear, you should not blindly go north.” Gu Shen carefully warned repeatedly: “The investigation of Legion has concluded a relatively complete map of explorers, you can follow the Know the route, and explore slowly…”

He parted with Jinsuohua before, thinking that this big snake’s skin is rough, flesh is thick, as long as he doesn’t act stupid, even if it encounters a storm, it will be fine… Simply let it go out on its own.

But now that I think about it, this arrangement is a bit rough.

The golden ear flower started, and asked in a mellow voice: “Is the master caring about me?”

It returned the “route map” after parting with Gu Shen, the path obvious at a glance, follow the known route, and return to the [Maze].

It has to be said that the serpent’s wisdom is very high.

“The master can rest assured that I will not act recklessly. There is always an air of fear and horror here… I decided to return to the [maze] first, starting from the ‘regular point’ that isolates the end of the maze Check.” Jinsuihua explained in detail: “If you can’t find any clues, then consider traveling to the unknown depths…but it will take a long time to find the target.”

“Very good. “Gu Shen relaxed and said seriously: “If you find something strange, immediately link to my Divine Sea.”

In fact…

With his current strength, let alone at this moment Thousands of miles apart, even if you really walk with Jinsuohua, it can’t help.

If Jinsuihua is really in serious danger, inform Gu Shen…then the only thing Gu Shen can do is to wait until afterward to collect the body.

However, this sentence, when heard by another person, means completely different——

This is the promise of “Pluto”!

Jin Suihua felt excited and said respectfully: “many thanks to the grace of my king! I will definitely live up to my expectations!”

It actively disconnected the link, so as not to disturb Gu Shen. side.

Gu Shen remained silent, a little helpless.

The memory that this big snake draws in the labyrinth seems a bit strange…how is it like reading too many ancient picture book stories, one king at a time.

……

……

It was evening when the airship arrived in the central city.

Lin Lin didn’t rush to land. He took Gu Shen around the “imperial city” in Beizhou. From a high altitude, this giant city was more majestic than Nagano because of its beauty. The area is nearly ten times that of the Snow Forbidden City. The highly concentrated power of Beizhou is shrinking here. A large number of airships are suspended above the Iron Dome, and at the height of the giant city, you can see the ground of the central city, from the outside to the inside. Showing the color of a ring of divisions.

That’s the thermal effect of the “furnace” diffusion.

The buildings here are extremely high, and there are “suspended giant buildings”. In fact, the “foundations” of these giant buildings are super-large energy boats that open low-altitude suspension all year round. The reason why they are built like this… is Because the power of the “forge” is too powerful.

This is originally a winter city, but the North Continent fire has melted all the ice and snow, and has brought endless energy to the central city.

Because of the Queen’s enlightened policy, many giant companies in the five continents have chosen to come here, and the construction of giant buildings on the energy boat is also convenient for “relocation” that may occur in the future.

Gu Shen saw the suspended giant building with the words “Flower Flag” printed on it.

The airship landed some more.

Gu Shen’s senses have changed once again… Not so much the Central City is “majestic”, it is more “rough”, in contrast, the Snow Forbidden City is really like a finely carved artwork. After the Nagano Snow Forbidden City, you will find that every brick and tile has a sense of age. Nagano has a long history, and all the buildings have been completely preserved. After a long period of precipitation, it is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Central City is different.

The war has burned this giant city more than once. Today’s “giant building” is the latest product of the [Deep Sea] era. This is actually a super-large “future city” similar to the style of Dadu.

As night fell, the small airships shuttled between the giant buildings like shooting stars.

The turbid air spit.

Lin Lin’s airship slowed down.

Just as he was about to stop, a handsome and feminine face popped up on the main screen.

Grand Duke Zhuxue said with a smile: “You two, welcome to Central City. I have arranged a dinner party to catch the wind and dust, so let’s disembark here, [Deep Sea] will help to moor.”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

This link speed… is really fast enough, it seems that every move of myself and Lin Lin is under the watchful eyes of Duke Zhuxue.

A reasonable thing to do.

Nagano has 【Wind Hitomi】, and Central City is no exception.

This giant city should have the highest prevention and control measures.

Lin Lin didn’t appreciate it, and replied plainly: “There are tens of thousands of people coming and going in and out of the central city every day, we two have what skills and abilities, I would like to ask you to greet the Grand Duke of Beizhou, this is not appropriate. Right?”

“There’s nothing out of place.”

The Snowforged Archduke wasn’t annoyed.

He said with a slight smile: “There are other people at the dinner tonight.”

Lin Shu raised his hand, and the [camera] that captured the image slowly rose, revealing the More pictures, behind the Snow Casting Grand Duke, is a tall and empty banquet hall. Dozens of people have already arrived, and there is a faint glimpse of A’er and the silhouettes of those old acquaintances investigating Legion’s second team.

There are also some “Northern Continent Famous Generals” seen on the giant wall.
