Barrier of Light

The moment the amount of gravel exploded.

All team members felt something was wrong...

Yuan Yuan's expression became very ugly. He increased the speed of drawing the sword. However, the power of these gravels also became more powerful. It was obvious that the wind pressure was too strong, causing the land of the [Old World] to collapse again. These fragments The stone was just born not far away, and contains a new "power of destruction".

His sword domain could originally cover six people, but now it suddenly shrunk and could only cover three.

Even so, it became very strenuous.

The three members of the team took a deep breath and unfolded their own domain embryos. They were all good players among third-order extraordinary beings. Even if they did not condense a complete domain, they still had "embryos" with considerable power. !

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

Continuous shattering sounds exploded in front of the mask.

The sound insulation function of Gu Shen's mask was damaged. It may be that the power of the source material after the stone particles exploded invaded the source armor. It can be foreseen that the source armor will be attacked to varying degrees in the future...

The spiritual link of [Episode of Origin] began to tremble violently.

Li Chen looked pale.

His mental strength is not strong, but the pressure he endured until now is quite impressive. However, the pressure before the storm really makes people feel mentally exhausted... This journey has lasted for more than ten days, and the final return journey took the shortest route. , but it is more bumpy and torturous than the long road we set out on.

We must ensure that everyone’s spiritual links are stable...

Gu Shen called back a small ray of blazing fire and said calmly: "Captain, the sword domain can continue to be reduced."

Because of the increase in pressure.

Yuan Yuan's final sword domain only covered the two most important people in the team.

One is Li Chen.

There is another one, Gu Shen.

As soon as he said this, Li Chen turned to look at Gu Shen with a worried expression: "Brother Gu..."

"I have the ability to protect myself."

After Gu Shen's blazing fire was gathered, it became slightly condensed. It was a finger-sized fire, like a meteor, surrounding Gu Shen's body. It was the ability of the "spiritual field" that has been developed to a certain extent. !

Gu Shen's mental strength was far greater than his extraordinary strength at the moment.

Even if there is only one wisp... In terms of self-protection ability, his "blazing fire" is stronger than all the third-level extraordinary beings in the team!

Let Yuan Yuan use his energy to better protect Li Chen.

Then the spiritual link of [Episode of Origin] can be better maintained!

The voice of the command channel is already a little chaotic. Once the "spiritual link" of the twelve people is disconnected, the next actions will become chaotic... In this case, we must unite together to be able to control the desperate situation. A glimmer of hope.

Once the team collapses, the outcome is already doomed.

"Hold on, can you see the front?"

Yuan Yuan's voice came over. He waved his swords and chopped the gravel. At the same time, he encouraged Li Chen and encouraged: "The Umbrella Defense Line is less than fifty kilometers away from us!"

Li Chen, who tried his best to use his abilities, causing tears in his eyes to dry up, looked into the distance.

At the end of the chaotic sky, there was a big umbrella.

That is the home of mankind.

It is also the hope at the end of the journey.

"Captain...I can hold on!"

In the [Spiritual Link] channel, every team member has a very strong will. In the almost desperate adversity, everyone has completely inspired their inner desire to survive.

This is good.

Only in this way is it possible to survive!

Gu Shen found that he had "liked" these guys, probably from the beginning of his journey to the old world. These men who were trekking alone in the broken world were carried on their shoulders made of flesh and blood. A heavy thing called "hope".

No one can prove that this imaginary belief is real.

So they should survive.

And in this storm... everyone should survive!

"Golden Spike."

"Again...get out of here, that's an order."

In the spiritual link of Pure Land, Gu Shen's voice became cold and stern.

The storm is coming.

Golden Spike Flower was destined to be unable to return to the giant wall with him... It had been following him since leaving the maze. Gu Shen knew exactly what this big guy was thinking.

If my group is really involved in the storm, then this "stupid" big guy may not hesitate to choose to sacrifice himself and use his "flesh and blood body" to resist the storm of origin!

Golden Spike Flower's golden shadow suspended above the clouds began to tremble.

The power of "Pluto's Fire" flows in its blood.

This is also doomed, it cannot disobey Gu Shen's order!

"My king..."

A hoarse and unwilling voice surged above the clouds.

At this moment, the entire team was running nervously to escape, and no one noticed anything strange above the zenith.

Golden Spike Flower's huge body stopped.

After Gu Shen issued the order, he forcibly interrupted the "spiritual link" between the two parties.

It could only watch the small team disappear into the snow-swept field of vision.

…

…

Everyone in the team gritted their teeth.

The captain's words rekindled their hope.

But the real world poured cold water on it immediately.

"Rumble..."

Directly above the head, a violent trembling sound sounded like a beating war drum!

The golden light flashes!

A huge mountain was shattered. Viewed from a high altitude, it looked like a small ripple exploding on the surface of a pond. If a turbulence of this scale fell on Gu Shen and his party, it would be a real catastrophe and disaster.

Thousands of meters apart, strong winds swept across them.

The aftermath alone made people almost unable to stand. The extremely burning source armor forcibly changed the propulsion mode at this moment. The twelve people resisted the fierce wind and flew through the low altitude with difficulty!

Misfortunes never come singly. Just a few seconds later, a hoarse voice sounded in the spiritual link.

"Captain! I don't have enough backup energy!"

That was Mo Hongyi's voice.

Because the degree of resistance to "source matter" is different, the degree of energy consumption of Source A itself is also different.

After the scale of the rubble increased significantly and the protection of Yuan Yuan Sword Domain was lost, everyone's source armor energy consumption increased further except Li Chen!

Lao Mo's strength is relatively outstanding among third-level extraordinary beings.

And his abilities are "twisting" and "ejection". In the aftermath of the explosion just now, he tried his best to use his abilities to help the team resist a wave of resistance...

This also caused his Source Armor energy to be greatly consumed!

After the news came out, everyone in the spiritual link was silent, no one spoke.

Gu Shen also said nothing.

He silently calculated the final data in his heart.

"There are still fifty kilometers to the Umbrella Defense Line... At this speed, it is estimated that it will take thirteen minutes..."

This speed is already the fastest speed.

Unfortunately.

Before the source material tide, this speed was too slow.

If you look back at this moment, you will see an unparalleled shocking scene. Behind the tiny human being, the entire sky and earth are connected together, and the entire field of vision is filled by the wind that penetrates the sky!

The reason why no one in the spiritual link spoke was simple.

It's not just that Lao Mo doesn't have enough energy...

After experiencing the explosion just now, everyone in the team had insufficient energy.

The storm would engulf everyone before reaching the Umbrella Line.

Lao Mo lowered his head to check the core. There was no joy or sorrow in his mask. He suddenly said: "...I probably won't be able to reach the fortress. Why don't you take my energy and set off!"

That's what he really wanted to say.

He didn't want to live.

Instead of all twelve of us running out of energy and dying here, it would be better to give our comrades a push.

He can die.

But...someone has to live.

"Xiao Chenzi," Mo Hongyi pretended to smile relaxedly, but in fact his voice was shaking very badly, "Come over here, pull out my core, and then break the link. This will save you some energy."

An overloaded ship.

Or all sink.

Or... unload and throw down the heavy, useless, broken cargo.

in exchange for the survival of other people on the ship.

"Are you kidding me?"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

Zhu Xiao scolded angrily: "Who the hell said you want to introduce girls to me when you go back! If you really don't have any girls, you can just burn a paper figurine. What unlucky words can you say at this moment? The money you owe has not been repaid, and the money you owe has not been repaid." The socks haven’t been washed yet, and if you want to default on the bill, I’ll be the first to disagree!”

He wanted to lighten the mood, but he didn't notice that his voice was shaking badly.

There was dead silence in the line.

"You have such a good memory. You still remember this at this moment..." Mo Hongyi smiled. He suddenly looked into Zhu Xiao's eyes sincerely and asked in a very soft voice, "How about you pull out my core?"

Zhu Xiao seemed to have been hit by something.

He was at a loss for words.

Only at this moment did he realize that what he was saying now was not a joke before setting foot in the maze, nor was it a joke during daily training.

What we are facing now is an extremely cruel life and death decision.

It's an unprecedented desperate situation.

In the Survey Corps, things like this happen all the time... It's just that he is lucky. He has joined the elite team since he joined the regiment. He always wins every battle when he goes out to the fortress and always returns victorious. Even though he has experienced several setbacks, he has never encountered one. Such a desperate scene.

"There are some things that it's not convenient for the captain to say, so I will."

Lao Mo took a deep breath and said: "We all have insufficient energy, right? When I joined the Survey Corps, I never thought about being able to retire alive. Why should I hesitate at this juncture? I can leave one by one!"

He didn't finish his sentence.

The strong wind swept across the earth like a knife!

Su He, who was at the end of the team, let out a dull groan.

He raised his gun and fired, and while dodging sideways, he shattered a slender stone that was flying towards him, but his own Source Armor also opened a hole.

The storm was approaching.

Even though the team was still thousands of meters away from the "outer edge", everyone felt the terrifying suction force... The tornado that kept sweeping and ravaging was like a "glutton" that could never be fed, devouring it crazily. Touch everything it touches!

"That's too late……"

Mo Hongyi lost his patience. He stretched out a hand, grabbed the nearest Zhu Xiao's palm, and then pressed it to the source energy core of his chest...

"pull!"

His words were like a heavy hammer.

Hit hard.

Hit everyone's heart.

"I have a way...without unplugging the power source."

A voice sounded faintly from the front of the team.

Lao Mo was stunned.

Even Yuan Yuan was stunned.

Because this voice was not transmitted to their minds through the spiritual link of [Episode of Origin].

Everyone has a small "blazing fire" attached to their Origin Armor.

This was the "preparation" that Gu Shen had made before leaving. At that time, he did not know this team. Due to the ominous premonition of the Hongzhong incident, in order to ensure that there would be no "betrayal" scenes during this mission, Gu Shen Shen deliberately held back his hand.

This small ray of fire can ensure that Gu Shen can "hear" everything he wants to hear, and can also ensure that Gu Shen can counterattack at any time. After all, in this [old world], he is wearing a "golden hoop", Combat strength will be greatly reduced.

only.

During the second half of the journey, the role of these blazing fires completely changed.

Gu Shen recognized the team, and the blazing fire attached to the source armor was used to "protect" these team members and check whether their mental state was stable.

"Gu Shen?"

Even Yuan Yuan didn't realize when this small wisp of fire particles adhered to his source armor.

"But before this method is implemented..."

Gu Shen said softly: "I need to hypnotize everyone here."

He looked at Lao Mo.

Then he looked at Zhu Xiao.

"I can't explain the reasons. You can only choose whether to believe me."

The silent [Spiritual Link] became noisy under the roar of the storm.

The eleven team members all looked at each other.

They know very well what [hypnosis] means...

For extraordinary people, falling into a "hypnotic" state means that life and death are up to you. Once you fall into a spiritual dream, there are thousands of ways to live worse than death.

Extraordinary spiritual beings can erase memories, twist wills, and even brainwash and change beliefs.

If the person who proposed hypnosis was an old teammate who had been fighting for many years.

Then they won't hesitate at all.

But... this young man went out for the first time.

Yuan Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Can we trust you?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "I will not take away the core after hypnosis..."

It's a coincidence.

The current situation is somewhat similar to the choice Hong Zhong's team faced back then.

The fact that the returning hero did not hesitate to draw his sword to kill his companions and take away the energy probably cast a psychological shadow on everyone in this team.

"That's not what I meant. You may have misunderstood."

Yuan Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

The trust he just mentioned didn't mean taking away the core, but... he really couldn't think of any way to beat this storm.

Hypnotizing eleven people is a great burden on the practitioner himself.

Can Gu Shen's mental strength be able to bear it?

What trump card does he have that can defeat the storm?

"The captain actually wants to ask you about your specific confidence..."

The taciturn vice-captain Su He spoke at this moment: "If everyone accepts your hypnosis, how sure are you that you can lead the team back to the fort?"

Yuan Yuan nodded.

Following his gaze, all the members looked at Gu Shen.

In Yuan Yuan's heart... even if there is a 10% chance that only one or two people can return to the Fort, it is enough to carry out this adventure.

"...Fifty percent."

The silence didn't last long.

Gu Shen gave a conservative answer.

next moment.

"Damn!" Mo Hongyi cursed angrily, "Hurry up and get hypnotized! What are you waiting for? The strong wind behind you is burning your ass!"

Immediately afterwards, he slapped away the stunned Zhu Xiao's palm and said angrily: "You brat, what are you looking at? Do you really want to pull out my oxygen tube?"
