Barrier of Light

At the normal speed of the energy boat, it would take about an entire day to fly from the Fort Fortress to Central City.

Lin Lin's airship is already very small, but with only two people on board, the space inside the airship is extremely spacious.

Gu Shen had been in a state of meditation and practice before when he was sailing with Azhaer.

But when traveling with Lin Lin, there was no need for him to carry it, and there was no need to be polite.

Gu Shen walked straight to the armory and contemplated the "cutting-edge technological products" of the Beizhou military.

"Hey...this thing is a bit novel."

Gu Shen's eyes were fixed on the "new weapons" hanging on the wall.

"The source energy hand cannon can only be used at short to medium distances. Its lethality is much greater than that of the source energy pistol, but the recoil is also greater." Lin Lin said calmly: "Have you never seen it in Dongzhou?"

"I really haven't seen it before."

Gu Shen shook his head honestly. The battles he saw among the Dongzhou Extraordinaries were all relatively personal. This was a fighting style hatched by the "Three Institutes" system. They were regulated by the command post and cooperated with each other to carry out tasks. .

I have seen military energy weapons a few times.

But "Hand Cannon"... this is the first time I've seen it.

"If you have the chance, you can give it a try." Lin Lin said: "But don't be on the boat. If you hit it accurately, this thing can severely damage the third-stage transcendent."

Gu Shen put the cannon back.

He looked at it for a moment. The weapons developed by the Beizhou military were rich in variety and extremely lethal. Each source energy boat was a mobile arsenal. These source energy weapons and strong logic weapons were the standard in the boat. Match... After reading it, Gu Shen felt confused.

Gu Shen did not participate in the last "storm battle".

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

Thousands of energy boats arrived, pouring in endless firepower and shattering the storm!

This battle was "clean" and was all about suppressive fire.

If the purpose of the existence of the giant wall is to resist the "tide of source matter", 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, who seemed to have the ability to read minds, and said: "Many years ago, when Emperor Iron Dome resisted the storm, there was no such thing as the [deep sea], and even longer ago, we didn't even have a fortress. We can only use flesh and blood to build the 'giant wall'."

Gu Shen immediately understood what Lin Lin meant.

In the past few years, human beings have ushered in the rapid development of science and technology. The Beizhou military's weapons, extraordinary people, and the quality of its legions have all increased by leaps and bounds!

Guarding the giant wall is a discipline and habit that lasts for hundreds of years.

"The bill to develop and popularize fully automatic weapons was proposed twenty years ago." Lin Lin said quietly: "Imagine that on the giant wall, there are countless [Sky Eyes] suspended, and countless sources of energy towering Cannon, behind the buffer zone is another buffer zone. If a 'tide of source matter' occurs, we don't need to be nervous... we just need to press a certain button and wait for [Deep Sea] to resolve the crisis. There is no need to do anything in the whole process. All you need to do is hide far away and replenish your ammunition. Doesn’t this future sound wonderful?”

Gu Shen fell into thinking.

He shook his head slowly.

"No...such a future is not beautiful."

The vast majority of people in the five continents already firmly believe that the future of mankind will become better because of the [Deep Sea].

In fact it is.

[Deep Sea] brings a new round of evolution to human beings.

But if Beizhou Fortress implements this system, it will be equivalent to handing over the button of destiny to the hands of AI.

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

Lin Lin smiled.

"Beizhou is using [Deep Sea], but Beizhou doesn't believe in [Deep Sea]." The young brigadier drank tea, sat in the main driving position of the airship, turned on the automatic posture of [Deep Sea], and raised his feet in front of the big screen. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "If we want us to leave our destiny to a program, a super brain that can't find the subject, then it is equivalent to pointing a gun at your own head... The men of Beizhou guard with blood This land is not only for all mankind, but to be selfish, it is actually for ourselves."

Gu Shen didn't think this was selfish.

Today's five continents are independent and have their own "systems".

Beizhou fights the storm and resists the erosion of the [Old World], no matter what angle it is taken from... this is a righteous act to safeguard the destiny of all mankind.

Therefore, many extraordinary people come to Beizhou to join the 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, paused slightly between words, lowered his eyes and said, "I... was rejected by Her Majesty the Great Queen."

If God comes forward.

So...it is indeed impossible to advance this kind of bill.

The top member has veto power.

"Of course, aside from this reason... there are other factors." Lin Lin's expression became serious. He looked at Gu Shen and asked seriously: "Do you think there is really only frost, snow and storms over there in the [Old World]? ?”

Gu Shen fell silent immediately after this question.

Before leaving for Beizhou.

His answer is yes.

[Old World] That kind of place, no living thing can survive, except for frost, snow, and storms, there is only endless chaos and broken order.

But now...

He saw Golden Spike at the end of the [Maze].

"Look at this guy."

Lin Lin stretched out his palm, patted the big sleeping dog under him, and said quietly: "As black spots continue to breed in the Five Continents, there are more and more disordered extraordinary sources. In recent years, extraordinary awakening The phenomenon is becoming more and more serious... Even dogs can awaken, so other creatures cannot rule out the possibility of 'awakening'."

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

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

"It seems to have no energy?"

"Airsickness, fear of heights, plus I ate too much this morning."

Lin Lin's voice was calm: "This guy is the dog I raised since childhood. After awakening, he didn't have the abilities that a human should have, but he got a lot of diseases that only humans can get."

Gu Shen: "..."

"Who can guarantee that no living thing will survive in the [Old World]?" Lin Lin looked blankly and murmured softly: "For so many years, the Survey Corps has continued to go out to perform tasks because everyone wants to believe that there is an 'oasis' in the broken world. Existence… there is fresh oxygen and water, plenty of sunlight, no black spots, a permanent home.”

"Actually... the existence of an oasis is the scariest thing."

He turned to look at Gu Shen: "Suppose there is such a place with water, sunshine, and it is extremely livable... Then before humans set foot on it, there should be some kind of creatures growing in that place. Human beings have crossed over into the [Old World] ] are looking for them, they should also be looking for humans, so if one day we find an oasis...is that really a good thing?"

Chu Ling, who was listening quietly, spoke now. 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', what will happen to human beings?" The fate will most likely be tragic.”

"From the day I entered Gubao, I told myself... there is more than just storms in the [Old World]." Lin Lin narrowed his eyes and his voice became colder: "Maybe one day... there will be other things. "

Lin Lin's words were like a basin of cold water, making Gu Shen wake up.

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

Pluto put 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 vast darkness beyond the giant wall, there may be more than one "traveler".

Except humans.

Maybe... there are other creatures trekking.

【"Owner."】

At this moment, Gu Shen tried to connect to Golden Spike Flower's spiritual sea.

Going south from Gubao, we have entered the interior of Beizhou... Fortunately, the spiritual connection between the two is still very fast, which makes Gu Shen feel a little relieved.
