Barrier of Light

The Second Team of the Survey Corps conducted a three-day special training in Gubao.

The next "maze mission" is crucial.

A total of twelve extraordinary people will leave the fortress, cross the northern border, and arrive at the [Old World]... and this special training will also select the suitable candidates for the final departure.

Gu Shen participated in the entire three days of training.

He is a "newcomer" in the true sense. He has almost zero skills in controlling the source armor, knowledge of survival outside the fortress, and experience in exploration missions... It's just that Gu Shen's performance made the Survey Corps' All members were surprised.

This young man is very powerful.

Even if the competition is fair, he can still be included in the final "twelve people" list.

Three days flew by.

Today is departure day.

Gu Shen wore the silver-white "fourth-level source armor" of the Survey Corps. As Azhaer said, when they really rush to the "battlefield", soldiers will wear special source armor that is one level higher than their own strength.

The fourth-level source armor can carry the power of extraordinary beings above the tenth level in deep water areas.

Its source energy driving force is more powerful, and its material is tougher.

This investigation team went to explore the labyrinth. There were two teams in total, the main team and the deputy team. In the twelve-person lineup, except for Li Chen, the spiritual assistant who had awakened the [Eye of the Source], everyone else was a third-level extraordinary. By.

The home team is led by Yuan Yuan and is responsible for clearing the way from the front.

The deputy captain is named Su He. He is a hidden middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but very strong strength. Gu Shen estimates that Su He's strength is at the peak of the ninth level of the deep sea, and he is only just short of breaking through to the fourth level. The difference is thin.

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 Survey Corps still put him in a "protective position."

This is an important person who 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 be too confident. He will follow this experienced team and return smoothly, which is considered a success of the mission.

As for the "cane sawdust" clue, anything can happen in the [Old World].

Hope to find it.

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

On top of the giant wall.

Twelve figures stood, and above their heads were giant boats suspended in the sky.

Further on the giant boat.

There is a sky-covering barrier, made up of tens of millions of transparent floating panels densely packed together. This is the direct barrier between the huge wall of the Gubao Fortress and the [Old World].

This is an epic and magnificent source energy defense shield.

Humanity has never given up exploring the world beyond the giant wall.

Moreover, with the development of technology, Beizhou is trying to advance outside the fortress little by little. In a world where order has collapsed, he can extend outward... just like a big tree, spreading its branches underground, extending The more land there is, 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 under Central City continuously burns "energy" in order to support this huge line of defense.

Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He spoke softly: "All members of the Second Brigade of the Survey Corps, the Special Operations Team, are in place. Please open the 'source energy shield'."

"receive."

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

"Buzz buzz-"

The floating source energy plate in the distant sky began to roar, the flying snow flowed backwards, and a huge suction force was born from outside the giant wall. It only opened an extremely narrow gap, and the tidal power of the black hole was enough to frighten people.

In comparison, humans are really tiny creatures.

It is hard to imagine that the defenders of the Gubao Fortress could hold on to this position and not take a step back for hundreds of years.

this moment.

There are tens of millions of particles visible to the naked eye on the giant wall, rolling back and surging within the boundaries of order collapse.

Gu Shen took a gentle breath and looked at the unknown world where the flying snow rolled back. He knew that from the moment the Gubao Fortress opened the "Umbrella Defense Line", Yuan Jia entered a "consumption state", and the mask isolated [ The dirty breath of the old world, and purified into breathable clean gas. In addition, this external armor can automatically reduce and increase gravity as the environment changes, but all effects require "burning source energy". Due to technology Due to conditions, the complete burning time of an energy core is about thirty days.

There is ample energy for this operation.

Enough to support the team's round trip.

Every extraordinary member of the Survey Corps standing on the giant wall has a solemn expression. Even if they have participated in dozens of exploration missions, every time they leave the human stronghold, it may mean farewell.

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

"Maze Thirty-eight...the twentieth exploration mission has officially begun!"

Twelve pieces of Source Armor spurt out snow-white air currents.

For a moment.

Sweeping out from the giant wall.

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

[Deep Sea] cannot be linked in [Old World].

Communication between the two parties was interrupted at this moment.

The command room of Gubao Fortress fell silent for an instant.

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

Lin Lin remained silent throughout the entire process, watching the team leave the fortress.

Because of the "Hong Zhong" incident, friction arose between the Second Investigation Corps Team and Gubao. Because of the support of the Corps Commander, Lin Lin received all the rights to handle the follow-up of this incident.

He once again rejected the request of the Second Team of the Investigation Corps to pick up the body of the "hero".

This decision made both parties very unhappy.

Before the start of the maze mission, Yuan Yuan did not have any communication with Gubao.

At this moment, communication was disconnected.

Lin Lin looked at the figures that were gradually blurring on the screen, and said softly in a very low voice: "I wish you a happy victory."

The "Umbrella Line of Defense" is closed again.

The broken snow in Gubao returned to stability, and the world became peaceful and calm again.

Zou Hai rubbed his head.

Do not know what is the reasons of that……

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

…

…

There was a "boom"!

It seemed like the sound of broken stone fragments hitting the breathing mask.

It was probably just a stone chip the size of a fingernail.

A slight impact, but a violent roar.

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

All the noisy sounds 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.

Although he was clearly in the midst of turbulence, his surroundings... suddenly became quiet.

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

"All members, report the situation."

"Home team, Li Chen, everything is normal."

"Home team, Mo Hongyi, everything is normal."

"..."

"Vice-Team, Jiang Yu, everything is normal."

"Vice-Team, Gu Shen, everything is normal."

Gu Shen was the last to complete the report.

Yuan Yuan's command voice sounded in the central control channel: "Very good... all members, prepare to land."

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

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

Looking back in the [Old World], it really looked like an umbrella.

A giant umbrella covering the human world.

At this moment, Gu Shen felt a powerful force around him, squeezing the "Source Armor"... The Survival Manual of the Survey Corps mentioned that this was the power of the tide from the [Old World].

This kind of power will have a terrible corrosive effect on the skin and body of organic creatures.

The source armor can block to a great extent.

In fact, even without Source Armor, you can leave the fortress, as long as you are strong enough... A fourth-stage transcendent can resist the "power of the tide" if he can expand his domain.

But the tidal power of the [Old World] operates all the time and will never stop.

To release a domain, a transcendent needs to consume strength.

If it is really a long journey and keeping the field open all the time, the consumption will be very huge.

Except for the God Throne and their apostles, there are few people who can do this kind of thing... Therefore, certain special fortress tasks must be completed by special beings who have mastered the "power of fire".

"Countdown... three, two, one, coordinates have been sent, everyone starts landing!"

Twelve figures drew in falcon-like arcs in the sky filled with broken snow and stone debris.

[Old World] There are dangers everywhere.

After humans arrived at the Five Continents, they explored for six hundred years, but only found out a very small part of the map. People believed that there was a certain "land of hope" in that dark map, so exploration would never stop. ...But every step forward of the human race means the sacrifice of individuals.

Gu Shen landed on a "ruin".

Because it’s been too long.

He couldn't tell what kind of material the "stones" he stepped on were made of, but when he lowered his head, he could vaguely see worn and weathered bones between the layers of ruins... In order to find this safe "landing point", I don’t know how many people paid their lives.

And the next route.

Every step is based on the bones of those who came before us.

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

A palm gently rested on his shoulder.

Looking up, it was Su He, the deputy captain.

This taciturn middle-aged man exudes an aura of trustworthiness and reliability.

"I know what you are thinking...Everyone who sets foot on the soil of the [Old World] probably thinks like this."

Su He glanced at the skeleton between the gaps and said softly: "Remember, for those who come after us, we at this moment are also the predecessors who sacrificed their blood. This is the first time I set foot in the [Old World], What a senior said to me."

Gu Shen silently remembered these words.

"Leaving the fortress for the first time... don't worry, just go forward with peace of mind."

Su He smiled and said, "I am the queen."

(I have something to do tonight, so the update is a little late, sorry.)
