Barrier of Light

Adam was still in a coma when he was sent to Area S12.

He was covered in scratches and burns, and looked very miserable. Fortunately, the "Eye of Destiny" was still there, and he had completely lost consciousness.

Several Dongzhou law enforcers started healing the sealed artifacts and carried out rescue operations.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, we found him outside the South Cave, near the 'core area'."

Jiang Du looked worriedly at the small barrier that emitted the healing light, and whispered, "Fortunately, Mr. Adam was lucky enough that those violent big-winged sparrows did not kill him... It may be because of the abnormal movement of [Tan Yao], which caused the beast tide Retreating, these large birds drop their prey in the air and choose to return to their nests.”

"Don't worry, he's still alive."

Gu Shen's vitality fire had already sent a small wisp, and it had circulated in Adam's body. This guy was indeed very lucky. He was kidnapped by the big-winged sparrow and only suffered some superficial injuries.

"With the current situation, he may not be able to wake up for a while..."

Shen Li, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment and then asked via voice transmission: "Dadu's armored convoy is about to set off, how about it?"

Top scholars like Adam are treasured resources in any continent.

Among the Sangzhou Cave retreat list, this guy has the absolute highest priority.

This time I acted together with Dongzhou.

There will be no chance for Adam to return to the upper city in the future. If he wants to conduct research again, he must conduct it under the banner of Huazhi.

Dongzhou will definitely bring talents of this level back to his territory.

Little Iron Man's meaning is obvious... It's better to choose a day than to hit it, and now is the best time to send Adam away.

"Just wait a little longer."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I have already done what I promised him... Once Suzaku dies, the threat of the 'black silver bomb' buried in his heart is removed. I want to wait for him to wake up and ask him personally The ‘Eye of Destiny’ thing.”

There was an engine roar coming from outside the city wall.

The armored convoy has completed its first loading. The ten armored convoys transporting wall materials are now loaded with local extraordinary people from Sangzhou Cave, a total of one hundred and nine... Hu Danian will take these neutrals and bypass the core. area, and finally left the boundary of the North Cave. As for the off-island checkpoints that the Holy City Research Institute is responsible for guarding, there is no need to worry.

Bai Xiu has already left with Xiao Man...

By then, the Tower of Origin, which has obtained the "Lord of Wine", will be more eager to leave than Dongzhou.

All you need to do next is sit back and enjoy the success.

…

…

The convoy set off, and standing on the high wall, you could see the armored vehicles hitting countless lines of silver rain in the rain curtain, splashing away strips of mud.

District S12 is still noisy.

But Gu Shen's heart became calm.

For some reason, watching these people leave, the ominous feeling in his heart eased a lot.

Ever since I stepped into Sangzhou Cave, "The Guidance of the Goddess of Destiny" has been reporting errors.

No matter where Gu Shen goes or where he stays, he can receive danger signals as long as he takes out the pendant.

Now, he understands the true warning of this pendant...

Once [Tan Yao] breaks out, the entire Sangzhou Cave will be unsafe!

If you stay here, you will face a life and death crisis!

Gu Shen established the final spiritual link in the ancient literature meeting room. The red door spread and two figures walked out of the mist.

Lin Lin and Lu Nanzhi looked at each other in the mist. They were already familiar with each other's identities in the real world. They had met online several times recently, but they met with [Key] at the same time... This was the first time. .

"Is the mission to the south of Mulberry Island going well?"

Lin Lin sat down with a relaxed expression, looking very leisurely. It must be that there are not many trivial matters in Gubao Fortress at the moment, and he is in a rare rest period.

"It went well, and it didn't go well either."

Gu Shen said: "We just killed the Suzaku Divine Envoy in Central Continent, and also confirmed the identity of an important member... 064's actual identity is the Red Dragon among the four Divine Envoys of the Tower of Source."

"What?"

Lu Nanzhi and Lin Lin were both surprised.

The two fell silent... If their hibernation was reasonable, then "064" was a sharp knife that penetrated behind enemy lines.

"The red dragon is '064'...this number must have been inherited."

The madam reacted very quickly, and she murmured in a low voice: "He must have been able to survive in the Tower of Origin for so long because of external help. The only person who can plant such a trump card is Tian Shui... Mr. Tian Shui from Shangcheng. Are you also a member of the Ancient Literature Society?"

"The word member is not appropriate."

Gu Shen said: "Maybe it's a sponsor, or maybe it's a conspirator. I don't know what Tianshui wants to do... but I know that the red dragon is a chess piece cultivated by Tianshui. Judging from the current situation, what Mr. Tianshui wants to do , is to overthrow the rule of Qinglong, the god of heaven."

This news is shocking.

Lin Lin and Lu Nanzhi both fell into silence, trying hard to digest this bombshell.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Shen told the two of them what happened in Sangzhou Cave.

"Well, that's probably it..."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "From now on, we will cooperate with the Tower of Source to a certain extent, but you can choose to hide your identity from '064'... If a divine war really breaks out, the 'Lord of Wine' is a must. There is a missing link, but Tian Shui has lived for too long, and no one knows what he is thinking, so we need to be on the last guard."

"certainly."

Lu Nanzhi said: "As for Mr. Turing's evacuation back then... no one knows what it looked like specifically. It will take time to verify the authenticity of 064's words."

However, this is already great good news.

The owner of the wine is one of our own!

Every fire from the Seven Gods is a huge help!

"These messages... are really outrageous."

Lin Lin rubbed his eyebrows and whispered: "So far, this trip can be said to be a 'big success'. Is there anything that went wrong?"

"have."

Gu Shen looked solemn and said: "I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart... This premonition is like a lingering shadow, always weighing on my heart. I feel that the incident at Sangzhou Cave is not that big." Simple, that’s why I called this meeting at short notice and called you two here.”

"???"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Lin and Lu Nanzhi both felt uneasy in their hearts.

"Before [Tanyao] erupts, I will go deep into this volcano and conduct a final investigation."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "In the journey of spiritual practice of an extraordinary person, it is inevitable to be entangled by the unknown, especially for a guy like me... Well, you may not understand what this means, you just think these words sound real. It's like setting a flag. What I really want to say is: If something unexpected happens to me, I hope you can maintain the stability of the Ancient Literature Society. I have a list here, which is the most important thing about this meeting. I hope Take good care of it."

Chu Ling had previously obtained a incomplete list of the offline members of the Ancient Literature Society through calculation.

Gu Shen has never leaked these lists.

At this moment, he waved his hand to condense the data, and the sky above the conference room was filled with blazing light. Two lists of personnel, condensed by countless codes, fell in front of the two people.

"Many people here have died."

"But some...are still alive."

Gu Shen said meaningfully: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Stop talking, it's bad luck!"

Lin Lin looked at the list, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned. He said angrily: "Why does this sound like you are asking for help? Are you going to die?!"

"Okay, you can understand that I'm lazy."

Gu Shen shrugged, "As the [Key], I am shouldering the important mission of connecting the entire ancient literary society. Unfortunately, there are too many burdens and I am too busy. The next offline contact plan of the ancient literary society needs to be left to you. ”

"You are really lazy and honest..."

After saying this, Lin Lin's brows relaxed a lot, he took the opportunity to sarcastically say something, and then accepted the list.

"Also, there is one more thing."

Gu Shen said seriously: "Borrow some energy boats for use. I want to take some people away from Sangzhou Cave."

Area S12 has now become the most popular refuge in Sangzhou Cave.

A large number of extraordinary people are flocking here.

The beast tide may strike again at any time... Judging from the recovery trend of [Tan Yao] and the fanaticism of these beast spirits, if another beast tide breaks out, no city in the entire Sangzhou Cave can resist. Innocent people will most likely have to wait for death.

Guangming City is angry and helpless.

From the current situation, they should have benefited... If there was the blessing of the "Holy Book" and a large number of light believers appeared, many people would go to the West Cave to take refuge.

But now, it has become Dongzhou Harvest!

"Do you need to say this kind of thing..."

Lin Lin said calmly: "I knew as soon as Wild Dog and Lu Zhe applied for the mobilization of energy boats. As a special grant from Gubao Fortress, Beizhou would send ten additional medium-sized energy boats... This opportunity should not be missed. , we have to do our best to bring back all the local 'transcendents' in Sangzhou Cave. As for the airship dispatching fee, we don't need to pay. I need to pick up one-third of the extraordinarys."

Before the awakening experiment began, there were approximately 100,000 residents in Sangzhou Cave!

The report given by [Deep Sea] shows that the link success rate is very high, but the actual situation is... many experimenters died in the impact of the beast tide. As dead people, they will not participate in the experimental statistics. .

Nowadays, the number of surviving extraordinary beings in Sangzhou Cave is only about 20,000 to 30,000 at most.

The number is still huge.

Even if only half of it is taken out of the Sanzhou Cave, the carrying capacity of Nagano and Dato will not be able to digest it all.

The influx of a large number of extraordinary people into the mainland will cause the three institutes, five majors, and the low-level extraordinary system in Huazhi Nanwan to become bloated... And Lin Lin's seemingly "asking for price" behavior is actually helping Dongzhou share the pressure.

"Beizhou will take 50%."

Gu Shen took the initiative to offer a higher bargaining chip and said: "I will spread the news and tell these refugees that the North Cave is also a refuge, and then ask Wild Dog and Lu Zhe to open the main city gate... If the plan goes well, the entire Sangzhou Cave will be 80% All the extraordinary people will be picked up by us."

"Okay." Lin Lin smiled: "Has your conscience found out?"

"That's right, I can't keep having sex with you for nothing." Gu Shen also smiled.

Lu Nanzhi sat at the conference table and remained silent. As a wealthy woman, she wanted to intervene in the conversation and offer Huazhi to pay the energy boat dispatching fee... but was stopped by Gu Shen's silent look.

You know, a medium-sized energy boat flies back and forth from Gubao to Sangzhou Cave, but it costs a lot of money...

Gu Shen didn't even mention the dispatch fee in the end.

The two parties were having a good time talking, so they just ignored it.

"..."

Madam was thoughtful, feeling as if she had learned something from Gu Shen.

So, if you don’t mention it, it’s not considered a waste of time?

…

…

"woke up?"

When Adam opened his eyes, the night had passed.

He sat up and looked at the stranger in front of him blankly.

"My name is Jiang Du, one of the regional leaders of the Neutrals."

Jiang Duwen said gently: "Mr. Adam, do you still remember what happened?"

Adam rubbed his head and hissed. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that his vision was blurry and chaotic. In front of him were carved wooden eaves and white stone walls...

However, the vision is very confusing.

Adam groped around and frowned, "Where are my 'eyes'?"

"it's here."

Jiang Du handed Adam the transparent bottle of nutrient solution on the bedside table.

A vivid eyeball is dancing inside.

There is a price to pay for the Eye of Destiny... As soon as Adam was unconscious, the eyeball was removed and placed in this bottle.

"I was snatched away by a big-winged sparrow..."

Adam closed his eyes and felt much better. He took a deep breath and gradually remembered what happened.

After a moment, he murmured: "Wait, I'm not dead?"

"of course."

Jiang Du smiled helplessly: "What do you call this? It sounds like you were quite lucky. You regained consciousness within a day... Do you still feel pain now?"

As he spoke, he poked Adam's arm with his fingertips.

"hiss!"

Adam gasped in pain, "It hurts..."

Jiang Du poked his ribs again and said, "What about this side?"

Adam was distraught: "It's over, it's over, it's over..."

"It's so serious." Jiang Du touched his chin and said solemnly: "Then it seems it's time to send you away. Your current physical condition is very bad and you can't stay here any longer."

"What, what the hell?"

Adam sat back for a while in fear: "Send me away, where are you going? I have to go to the core area of ​​[Tan Yao] to investigate!"

"Leave Sangzhou Cave."

Jiang Du said seriously: "Mr. Xiao Gu told me that if you are seriously injured, the investigation will be shelved..."

"No, no!"

Adam shook his head like a rattle, a strong man of 1.9 meters, like a child.

"I'm not going anywhere. Gu Shen promised me to go to the core area..."

"By the way, is the beast tide over? I want to analyze the collected beast spirit skins!"

Adam propped himself up and tried to sit up, but the severe pain coming from inside his body made him grin.

"Can you still stand up?"

At this moment, a calm and deserted voice sounded outside the house.

Adam was startled.

Gu Shen, dressed in black, stood outside the door of the mansion. He looked at Adam calmly... The latter habitually closed the "eye of fate" and did not dare to look directly at Gu Shen.

"It's hard to get out of bed."

Adam, who was breathless, forced out an ugly and miserable smile. He was still as heartless as ever. At this moment, he grinned and said: "But if you want to go up the mountain, there is no problem. Just prepare a cane for me."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for a few seconds.

He looked at the blond man who was covered in injuries quietly.

After a brief silence——

"Then get ready and set off later."

Gu Shen spoke and gave Jiang Du a ready-to-go look. The latter understood and sighed helplessly. Without saying anything, he immediately set off outside the mansion to find a suitable hiking pole.
