Barrier of Light

"Can you detoxify?!"

Lin Lin's eyes suddenly brightened.

He subconsciously wanted to ask...and then suddenly remembered the consensus he had just reached, and his expression became weird and subtle.

This is digging a hole and jumping into it.

"Okay, I won't ask why." Lin Lin took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "What I want to ask is, what do you need to prepare for your detoxification method, and when can you start it at the earliest?"

"You can start anytime."

Gu Shen said: "My ability can remove the 'mental poison', but I need to contact them one by one."

"Your ability can remove mental toxins, so... there is no infected person in the second team." Lin Lin suddenly said in a low voice, "Then let's start now, without further delay."

"I need a private environment." Gu Shen said: "Before the defense battle of the Umbrella Line of Defense ends, I don't want this matter to attract too much attention..."

"……understand."

Lin Lin understood what Gu Shen meant.

He rubbed his brows and said slowly: "Then how about arranging it in my attic? I will send a reliable 'spiritual extraordinary person' to perform hypnosis before entering the building, and you can perform 'mental treatment'. I It will help you avoid unnecessary troubles."

"Can."

Gu Shen thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

The conversation went extremely well.

"Do you just trust me so much?" Lin Lin raised his eyebrows. He looked at Gu Shen's back as he stood up and asked, "The matters of 'dossier' and 'detoxification'... are not trivial matters."

Gu Shen smiled.

He pointed to his forehead and said softly: "In a sense, I am the same as you... When making major decisions, I trust my intuition more. My intuition tells me that I can trust you."

Silence returned to the study.

Lin Lin suddenly sighed.

Since the mental toxin broke out in the Fort, his time has been filled with space. Many people have overlooked one thing... the residents of this fortress are also victims of the "mental toxin".

How easy is it to detoxify?

He locked himself in the study and handed over the command to Zhong Yuan... just because he was worried that he would not be able to use his willpower to resolve this difficulty.

Now I finally got over it.

Those toxins were released by mental power, but his mind was still tired. Lin Lin couldn't remember how long he hadn't rested... He sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

He hoped that the battle on the other side of the giant wall would not be so urgent, and could at least sustain him for a while, allowing him to catch his breath a little.

One night...

No, two hours is considered good.

…

…

After a while, Lin Lin regained his energy and silently looked at the unfinished fortress file on the table.

Except for the storm the giant wall encountered.

There is one more thing that is very important.

That is this file, which records the discovery and planning progress of every [Maze] mission in Gubao Fortress.

As a fortress garrison, Lin Lin would personally write the mission dossier every time.

This time, the files contain questions raised by the big shots in Central City. They hope that the military in the Citadel Fortress can find out the real reason why this team was able to complete this incredible escape...

This dossier will have a certain impact on Gubao Fortress's "right to speak" in the future.

Beizhou's top executives are not fools either.

They also discovered the "key figure" in this mission, Gu Shen.

In Dongzhou, Gu Shen's name is already quite influential.

But in Beizhou...

The rough guys in Beizhou didn't care what happened in Dongzhou, nor did they care what the young "heroes" in Dongzhou looked like. Not many people had heard of Gu Shen's name, and he didn't attract much attention.

Lin Lin leaned back on his seat, narrowed his eyes, and quietly thought about this foggy mission, thinking about how to write down the false dossier to be submitted to Central City next.

Gu Shen...

This is a different guy.

Obviously, he is a hidden person who pursues "low-keyism" and enjoys the peace in the darkness more than being admired.

It can be seen from the mission outside the fortress...

The second team was able to return safely and was inextricably linked to Gu Shen. This team gave complete information on exploring the [Maze], but they had no information after leaving the [Maze] and encountering the storm.

The team most likely encountered "hypnosis".

It's just that...the leader of this team is Yuan Yuan, a fourth-level transcendent. Even if he is not a spiritual person, his mental power has reached the basic quality of the fourth level.

It is simply impossible to hypnotize the entire team.

Lin Lin could see that Gu Shen's "mental power" was very strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was only the third level, the seventh level, which was vastly different from the fourth level.

Gu Shen couldn't hypnotize Yuan Yuan unless...

Yuan Yuan gives up mental resistance?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lin Lin suddenly figured out the most unreasonable problem on the team's return journey. If the entire team let go of their mental resistance and were willing to be "hypnotized", then all of this would be explained... ...Forgetting the details of the journey back, it was just the "hypnotist" cleaning the team's memory.

This explanation makes sense, but it fails to explain the next question that follows.

Even if group hypnosis is used, how does the team's speed increase after that, and how does it resist the storm?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lin wrote in the case file.

"Due to encountering the [Essence Storm] in the [Old World], the members of the investigation team lost their memories. It is suspected to be the influence of a certain 'Black Hole Pattern Point'. The fog on the way home cannot be solved."

"Being able to return to the fortress may be because I touched the [door]."

[Gate] is a regular point that the Survey Corps has confirmed exists, but has not yet explored clearly.

This kind of regular point can connect two regions.

Those who touch it can achieve long-distance "crossing", but they may pay a certain price... Different [doors] have different characteristics. What is certain at present is that this kind of thing can only be found in places with rich source matter. Birth.

In other words, [Gate] can only exist in Beizhou.

The specific location is a top secret, and is controlled by Beizhou's all-powerful giants... It is said that Rusty Bones, White Lizard, Silver Fox, and the legion commander hiding behind the scenes each have different weapons in their hands. Door] resources.

With the [Gate], you have the possibility of airdropping large-scale combat power at any time.

This is a huge killer weapon in the extraordinary world!

It is a more terrifying deterrent than "blocking extraordinary"!

Lin Lin blamed the [Gate] for the return of the maze mission. It can be said that this false file was a stroke of genius. This was the only answer that could allow Gu Shen to avoid being noticed by the military.

It's just that after this case file is submitted, the big shots in Central City will probably become more active.

They would re-enact the route that Gu Shen and his party took south, and try to find the possible [door] mentioned in the file... But Lin Lin didn't care about these things anymore, and he was very careful in the wording throughout his report.

No one can guarantee that the [door] is there.

The laws of the [Old World] are changing rapidly. Even if you return the same way, you may not be able to find the [Door].

…

…

The members of the quarantine area of ​​the Gubao Fortress did not expect that they could be taken out so quickly.

Several "infected people" in the hardest-hit areas have suffered mental breakdowns.

Their consciousness has been eroded by toxins. They are lethargic and quiet. They need help to walk. They don't look like living people at all. They have turned into walking corpses... If nothing happens, they will face the epidemic within five days. Come "die".

The spiritual sea withers and dies.

However, the poison of the golden fringe flower will retain their souls... Just like the explorers buried in the snowy mountains, Gu Shen can summon their souls at any time to fight for the pure land. If the poison of the golden fringe flower completely spreads, then The entire fort will be flooded.

Gu Shen didn't want to see such a scene.

These warriors are all sons of hope fighting for the future of mankind.

They should live, at least they should not die under the infection of "spiritual toxins".

After Jin Shenghua recognized her as her master, Gu Shen vaguely felt that he was contaminated with more "ominous things."

It was still in the [Old World] at that time, and there were too many important things to deal with.

Now that he was back in the fortress, Gu Shen had some free time to feel carefully... This "ominous" feeling was different from before. It was not that he had never killed people before. He had also been contaminated with the ominous feeling when he killed the Evening Bell Church in the snowy mountains in the tundra. feel.

But at this moment.

This kind of depression is looming, and it seems that it has not completely come, and it is accumulating.

Gu Shen vaguely felt that it might be the reason why "spiritual toxins" still have room to control... The rules of this world guide life and death, light and darkness, and other forces, forming a huge scale, and the two ends of the scale need to Maintain a balance as much as possible, and those who have awakened the "extraordinary power" will definitely reap the so-called "ominous".

Abusing power, breaking the balance, destroying the order...will invite an ominous arrival.

The previous Pluto left the will of "no harm in killing" to induce the growth of the serpent. Because she did not receive the correct "guidance", Golden Spike Flower did such a thing...

As the current owner, Gu Shen has to bear the consequences.

This should be the reason for this "ominous" rappel.

But fortunately there is still a chance to remedy the situation.

In fact, Gu Shen didn't care how much "ominous" he was contaminated with. When he accommodated Pluto's fire, he was already ready to fight!

But he didn't want to bear both the infamy and the "karma" because of this incident.

These people need to be saved!

…

…

There was a long queue at Lin Lin’s loft.

A spiritual barrier is set up at the entrance. Every "infected" will be enveloped in a "dream" before entering, ensuring that all memories experienced here will be erased.

Gu Shen was originally a little curious as to who the reliable spiritual transcendent Lin Lin mentioned... was.

To do this, you must gain Lin Lin's trust.

This matter is of great importance, and the tone must be extremely strict, and it must not be known to outsiders.

Moreover, one should not be curious about the person who is being healed in the attic.

But when he really saw the true face of "the other party", he fell silent.

Not someone else.

Not even... human.

The big Labrador dog squatted obediently at the door, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail in a friendly manner towards Gu Shen.

There is no demeanor of a rogue and vicious dog.

Also, who says it's not a "spiritual transcendent"?

A perfect "choice".

The detoxification task was carried out very quickly, the military operations in Gubao were very efficient, and Gu Shen was also quick to operate... This matter was not difficult. To others, it was an "incurable disease", but to him, It's a matter of "spiritual contact". If it weren't for the need to cover up people's eyes and make contact one by one, Gu Shen could even directly summon the "Netherworld Fire" to take back all the "spiritual toxins" in the entire Gu Fortress into the pure land.

In the attic.

After Lin Lin finished writing the case file, he saw that the "infected people" who had left the mental barrier had no trace of decay and decay, and his eyes froze... Gu Shen did not deceive himself, he could really remove the "mental poison".

At this rate, the quarantine area can be cleared of patients in at most one day.

Then the next step is to investigate suspected infections.

and the utter strangulation of mental toxins.

In fact, when Gu Shen showed his ability to kill toxins, the gloomy haze that shrouded the Fortress dissipated. This "little giant" with inconvenient legs and feet and suffering from internal diseases could finally try to use it. External force, stand up and face the coming storm!

This is exciting news.

However, fate did not leave Lin Lin time to relax.

Almost the next moment, the communicator rang sharply.

"Your Majesty Brigadier——"

Zou Hai's voice was hoarse: "Gubao needs support, the umbrella defense line is about to be breached!"

…

…

On top of the giant wall.

Nearly three hundred energy boats were suspended in the sky, blocking out the sun and casting shadows like a long night.

The long night is indeed coming at this moment.

The [Umbrella Defense Line] in the north, the large umbrellas held up by thousands of floating panels, are burning with blazing light, like a mirror of fire. This [Buffer Zone] is unprecedentedly hot, and the first wave of storms "slowly" advances, Arriving at this desolate highland located at the throat of mankind, Osmond's support arrived at the giant wall. A total of nearly three hundred energy boats and thousands of energy cannons bombarded the entire sky in white. Under the collision of the majestic [Essence], a gap was directly created in the menacing storm!

The power of the first source energy cannon bombardment successfully tore a hole in the southward storm... But then the suffocating residual pressure came, and the head energy boat standing on the edge of the umbrella defense line was " The majestic force of the "tide" impacted and began to retreat. Even if the activation efficiency was fully maximized, it could only remain in its original position with difficulty. If this momentum continued, the energy boat with the first power source would soon lose its best defensive position.

but.

There is a second wave!

This time the impact at least effectively killed the storm.

Maybe... we can hold the line of defense!

Before the soldiers piloting the energy boat had time to rejoice, they saw a horrifying sight... Behind the torn gap, on the back of the disemboweled and disembowelled Grand Storm, there were other things that continued to merge one after another. "storm".

Thunder is like a magnificent pen arc.

This is a scene that even the greatest painter cannot paint——

In comparison, the real world pales like an oil painting. The storms outside the [Umbrella Line of Defense] are merging in a destructive manner. They devour everything, including themselves.

After the merger, the scale of this source of energy storm reached a level that made people feel numb.

The holes that were originally torn apart by the shelling were restored to their original appearance within a few dozen seconds.

The bombardment carried out by three hundred energy boats just now was ridiculously like waves in the angry sea. It seemed huge, but it was submerged in just a moment... It is almost impossible to maintain the wave with just one wave. matter.

Even if it can be sustained, how long can it last?

[Deep Sea], who controlled the Gubao LAN, now issued an unprecedented harsh reminder.

"It has been detected that the storm is gathering, the line of sight is being lost, the number of surveys... fourteen."

"Quantity, twelve."

"Quantity, eleven."

All the combat members who heard the prompt sound looked pale... Just like the storm that just hit the defense line, there are fourteen more of similar scale? !

What a joke!

And, they are still merging!

"retreat."

A calm voice sounded from the command channel.

In the [Main Boat] of the Gubao Fortress, a blond man was currently directing the fortress operations on behalf of Lin Lin.

This person is none other than Zhong Yuan.

The missions carried out by the Survey Corps are not large in scale. Due to the weirdness and unpredictability of the [Old World], the number of people in each mission needs to be controlled... Therefore, the captains in the Corps theoretically do not have the ability to command large-scale battles.

But Zhongyuan is an exception!

He served under General White Lizard in his early years and was an extremely excellent staff officer. He not only showed excellent fighting talent, but also showed good commanding abilities. However, Beizhou is currently in a period of peace and there is no large-scale When the battle broke out, Zhong Yuan could only compete with the commanders in the legion through virtual battles in [Sand Table Simulation]. His record was very good and he rarely lost.

The one hundred and forty-nine energy boats in Kubao all received their orders.

At the pass of the [Defense Line], a final wave of shelling was launched, and then they quickly retreated.

Each medium-sized energy boat received special instructions from the main boat. The captains of the ship squadrons in Gubao Fortress looked surprised. That was a "command terminology" commonly used within their own fortress. If they did not know the combat command at this moment, The power was transferred, and they thought it was the order issued by the Brigadier General himself.

Lin Lin and Zhong Yuan often corresponded and communicated with each other. They had no secrets from each other... Zhong Yuan told the secrets inside the Survey Corps, and Lin Lin had no reservations. Daily life in the Gubao Fortress was relatively boring. He often In the letter, he reviewed his command work, and naturally these terms were also written in the letter.

Zhong Yuan knew very well that fighting the storm would require a protracted battle.

This is also the meaning of the existence of [Umbrella Line of Defense]!

In terms of true command ability, he is definitely not as good as Lin Lin... He has no experience in truly mastering a large fleet, and the experience provided by the sand table simulation is not enough to fight against this storm.

What he wants to do is to make the greatest reduction before the storm reaches the giant wall.

Zhong Yuan doesn't think he can make such a powerful command, but he must at least hold on until Lin Lin resolves his "mental poison" and takes over the command of the fleet. By then, the situation shouldn't be too bad, maybe there will be a turn for the better!

…

…

Amidst the brilliant source energy bombardment, the fleet began to "slowly" retreat towards the giant wall.

The storm, which was constantly being torn apart by artillery fire, swept south resolutely, and finally hit the huge [Umbrella Defense Line].

"..."

It was a shocking sound that cannot be described in words.

It was the ultimate roar.

It is also the ultimate silence.

The commanders sitting in the energy boats have dark, complex, firm, and bitter eyes...

Their pupils reflected the light and shadow of the floating plates burning with all their strength.

Looking from a distance.

The big umbrella that protects humankind's homeland burns with a shrill light in the dark night.

The roaring sound swept through everything and swallowed everything.

The big umbrella burned, broke, withered...

The world was shattered and screamed in pain.

Even in the attic within the Beizhou Fortress, one can see the glow of the big umbrella burning. It was burning brightly all night long, and it was quiet. Gu Shen was sitting in a dream on the first floor of the attic, removing the [infected people] as quickly as possible. The mental poison, all he can do is to heal the sick fortress as soon as possible so that the city gate can be opened quickly.

Lin Lin on the second floor of the attic was connected to the communication channel of the entire fleet.

"I'm Lin Lin."

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Now the entire fleet is under my control."
