Bulwark of Light

Chapter 355 The Waterway of the Old World (Da Zhang, ask for a monthly pass!)

"Family dinner?"

These two words startled Gu Shen.

"Don't think too much..." Gu Qilin said quietly: "Please come to eat this meal, it has something to do with your identities... If you are just an ordinary kid who came out of the mountains, you are not S-class , I don’t know divination, and I don’t have a fancy background, so I’m sure I won’t be able to invite you to this dinner tonight.”

Tell the truth.

Hearing this, Gu Shen relaxed a lot.

"In addition to this, there is another very important reason."

Gu Qilin said slowly: "Your teacher and I are old friends who have known each other for many years. Aren't you curious... Where did Zhou Jiren go these days?"

Gu Shen's expression gradually became serious.

……

……

"The authority of [Feng Tong] and [Sky Eye] has been handed over. Zhou Jiren's plane departs from Dongzhou, transfers to the energy airship halfway, and finally arrives at the fortress of Phiyue City in Beizhou."

"He entered the super-large disaster environment of the Phi Yue City Fortress."

"Before that, a total of 130 seven people entered this disaster area... none of them left."

On the top floor of the Jiangbei Hotel, faint candles were burning.

A [lantern] hung on the roof without any hanging objects, just floating, burning, emitting warm heat, enveloping the two people on the roof.

This is not the first time Gu Shen has seen 【Lantern】.

When Gu Qilin took it out, he was only slightly surprised for a second.

This [Lantern] is similar to the one developed by Lu Cheng in Shizi Lane, the old city of Dadu. It can block the signal of [Deep Sea] and prevent the monitoring of [Wind Pupil] and [Earth Earth]. It is a very safe security measure.

And to carry out such a measure... There is no doubt that the following conversation is very confidential and extremely important.

Gu Qilin is the commander of the Dongzhou command post.

Mr. Tree, Mr. Shan, Mr. Lin...these three are actually giant figures called the "Three Giants" by Snow Forbidden City.

And he holds an intelligence network all over the five continents in his hands.

Gu Shen has always wanted to investigate the whereabouts of the "teacher" after he left, but even Chu Ling couldn't link to the outer continent... The power of [source code] seems to be incomplete, and it is difficult to fully exert it at certain times. For this matter, unless there is a complete file that has been estranged, it can be consulted, or the real-time performance of the [source code] will be insufficient.

This is actually why the deep sea is constantly renewing itself.

As the most basic basic code, it is inevitable to be slow in the application of this emerging function.

But Gu Qilin was different.

He is a real "hands-on" character, and he actually retrieved the teacher's whereabouts track map.

"At present, the super-large disaster environment has not been named." Gu Qilin zoomed in on the virtual projection, moved his fingers slowly, and called up the three-dimensional image outside the fortress of Phiyue City, and said slowly: "It's just judging from the degree of disaster shown. ...has far exceeded the initial estimates of the fortress garrison."

Senior Sister Luo and Senior Brother Zhong... are in that calamity.

Gu Shen's expression tensed.

When this projection was released, Chu Ling had already started work. She immediately converted this projection into private information in the [database] through Gu Shen's "spiritual vision", so that it can be accessed at any time, and at the same time recruited The real-time map of Beizhou has conducted a new round of scanning of the "Moon City Fortress".

"Gu Shen...the map where the disaster is located has changed."

Chu Ling briefly scanned the side, and said: "The Daxueshan Canyon seems to have opened a hole."

In the firelight of the [lantern], Gu Qilin slowly swiped two fingers across the map, crossed left and right at the end of the canyon, and drew a cross.

"Just today... that super-large disaster site has established a connection with the real world."

The reason why the disaster situation is taken so seriously is that those who walk into it will lose their way, sink deeper and deeper, and finally become "out of control" or lose their lives.

And building connections with the outside world means...

"Someone came out?" Gu Shen asked subconsciously.

At the same time, he had a vague premonition in his heart that this matter would not be so simple, otherwise the old man of the Gu family would not have told him himself.

"Yes."

Gu Qilin said slowly: "130 five people came out, 120 nine people died, and only six survived, all in a severe coma... But don't worry, among these people, there is no teacher, brother, or sister of yours. .”

"Zhou Jiren, Luo Er, and Zhong Wei are still in this disaster!"

"They sent out the dead and survivors in the snow mountain... In a sense, the mission has been completed, the portal has been opened, and if those people can be sent away, they can come out."

Gu Shen murmured: "They didn't come out?"

Old man Gu was silent for a few seconds.

"You watch this video first."

……

……

Heavy snowfall.

The snow was overwhelming.

Enough to drown everything...heavy snow.

The trekker's eyesight shook violently, as if he might fall down at any time, but in such a snow-white and vast world, even if he fell down, the things he saw... would not change in any way.

Up and down the four directions, but I am reckless.

There is no difference between seeing and not seeing.

"Attempting to establish link..."

"Link failed..."

"Attempting to establish link..."

"Link failed..."

The sound of the huge wind and snow was mixed with the sound of intermittent electronic signals.

A faint female voice sounded in the distance.

"Can't the link be established yet?"

The line of sight is slightly deflected downward.

The person who recorded this video was a thin young man holding a communicator. His withered palm was covered with a thin layer of ice, his skin was frozen pale, and a blue vine was wrapped around his wrist. mouth, exuding a gleaming green light.

It is precisely because of the coverage of green light.

He was able to barely resist this majestic snowstorm.

"Maybe... still need... to open the door wider..."

The young man takes a deep breath.

He turned his head.

Looking in the direction of countless winds and snows... Behind him, where he couldn't see before, a portal opened in the nothingness, built by countless vines and hair.

On both sides of the door, two figures sat, one on the left and one on the right, supporting the opening of the "door".

This door was only opened a few meters, and hundreds of tons of snow poured out, like a volcanic eruption, spewing out from this world... but what spit out was extremely cold.

The snow tide rumbled and rolled.

The young man stepped on the ground with difficulty, tried his best, leaned his body, like a crumbling old tree, even so, one foot was still pulled out of the ground, but the soles of his feet were covered with hair, because of the hair The reason... He resisted the terrifying suction of this world, and was not directly spit out by the "portal" in the distance.

Under the efforts of the two people sitting cross-legged left and right.

The small door in the nothingness, trying to expand bigger——

Bigger!

this moment!
The electrical sound in the communicator is no longer intermittent.

Instead, it returned to normal.

"Attempting to establish link..."

"The link was successful."

The young man shouted happily, "Successful! Keep it up!"

The figures sitting cross-legged in front of the two portals, one old and one young, were trembling violently... Keeping the portal open was a great drain on them.

The young man seized the short time and spoke quickly into the communicator.

"This is the special operations team of the Dongzhou Tribunal. I am the adjudicator Zhong Wei, and my companions are the adjudicator Luo Er and the chief adjudicator Zhou Jiren."

"The recording location is Beizhou Phiyuecheng Fortress, 26 kilometers north of the canyon entrance."

"If [Deep Sea] can hear our voices, please upload the video to the Beizhou Federation database after the link is interrupted, make a signature note on this data, and deliver it to the Grand Duke Zhuxue."

"We discovered a super-large disaster environment in Phi Yue City... the original scale is estimated to be 1 meters in diameter, and it is gradually spreading at a speed of 30 meters per day. According to federal regulations, after confirming the characteristics of the disaster environment, we will Strike. But we are making a request in the name of the Dongzhou Tribunal... I hope that the Beizhou Military Department can protect the scene and prevent extraordinary people from entering the disaster area again, and do not carry out a devastating blow to the disaster area."

"In this disaster environment, we found a 'channel' that is not entangled by 'black spots'... It seems to be an ancient road leading to the [Old World]."

Speaking of it.

A lot of effort has been spent.

The young man ran towards the distance quickly, and at the same time spoke loudly, as if a knife had been stuffed into his throat, it sounded hoarse and rough, but even so, he still shouted loudly to ensure that the communicator could transfer his voice to Going to the outside world, "Because the link is unstable... I may not guarantee the display of the screen, but I will try my best to run!"

next moment!
He was like a shooting star burning with flames all over his body.

Under the explosion of all extraordinary abilities.

The frost and snow on his body were all burning, even the green vines were burning, and the scorching sound of Chi Chi could be heard on the communicator, even overshadowing the howling of the wind and snow... It's just that the farther you are from the portal, the less the signal will be. The worse he got, he tried his best to run to the distance, and the picture in the spiritual link became more and more blurred.

In the distance is the whistling wind and snow.

The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger, like a knife... There are even bloodshot eyes in the mental vision.

Finally, there are two towering, pale mountains!

On the other side of the mountain, there are silvery white dots...Countless wind and snow tore the air, but that place seems to be the only peaceful place, as long as you arrive there, all the severe cold and frost will no longer exist.

next moment.

Video cut off.

All sounds and images are frozen in silver.

……

……

"This is a video from Beizhou Fortress."

Gu Qilin opened his mouth and said, "I think it is necessary for me to let you see this image."

"That's why Teacher and the others... didn't come out?"

This video has ended.

The [lantern] on the roof seemed to have dimmed a lot.

Gu Shen came to his senses and felt a little inexplicably cold... The overwhelming snow might freeze people into ice sculptures.

"Yes. They chose to stay in that calamity, and the only thing that got out was this video."

The old man's expression was a little complicated.

"As far as I know... the reason why Zhou Jiren left Dadu and went to the fortress of Phiyue City is because 【Tiantong】sent a strand of hair. With the strength of 【Tiantong】, he can only send a strand of hair. The transmission of this video is already a miracle."

Because of the joint efforts of the two top extraordinary people.

Just opened the door.

But even so...there were still heavy casualties.

Gu Qilin said: "As you can see, the last video was successfully passed on... to the Grand Duke Zhuxue who arrived in Qianjin City. Beizhou is undergoing a severe purge. Grand Duke Zhuxue originally wanted to use the purge as the theme , held a meeting, and this video successfully changed the focus of his meeting. The Privy Council of Qianjin City signed the approval document for the Fourth Army to guard Phi Yue City, and at the same time began to transfer the people in the fortress. From a strategic point of view, it is equivalent to It gave way to an arc point on the west side of the main wing of Beizhou."

The black spots will continue to spread.

The super-large-scale disaster in Beizhou, if left unattended...may lead to a huge disaster!
"And this decision was made... not because of the noble status of Zhou Jiren and Luo Er." The old man said softly: "In the face of such a huge disaster, the trapped people have no status at all... Even the Grand Duke Zhu Xue Inside, when it’s time to destroy, it will still be destroyed. It’s just that a larger stele will be erected afterwards.”

Gu Shen murmured: "This video mentions... the old world's waterway..."

"To be precise, it is an old world waterway that is not entangled by black spots."

The old man said calmly, "That's why the Beizhou military department ordered to protect this disaster... That video actually contains a lot of information."

He held out two fingers.

In the screenshot of the video, in the last frame, the silver dot starts to be enlarged.

In Senior Brother Zhong Wei's line of sight, the silver dot sandwiched between two towering mountains... was almost too small to be seen directly, but after hundreds of times of magnification and clarity, it was faintly visible.

It was a...

ferry?

"It is reasonable to say that the disaster environment forms a closed loop, and it is likely to present a scene of endlessness and endlessness. There will hardly be such a 'ferry'. Such a place can basically be regarded as a 'connection point'."

The old man said: "The little dot provided by Zhong Wei at the end is very likely to be the connection point between the disaster situation of the Phi Yue City Fortress and the real world...it can lead to another place."

"This is... the entrance to the waterway?" Gu Shen's pupils shrank slightly.

"That's right." Gu Qilin said: "Once the disaster environment is destroyed, it will no longer have the ability to revive. This also means that we will lose the link entrance forever. This is why the Beizhou Military Department decided to protect this disaster environment for the sake of

"The most important thing is... the 'connection points' in this disaster area are likely to appear randomly."

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you still remember the six people who were sent out by the door? Shen Hai read the memories of these two comatose people... and found that they each saw different dreams..."

"Is this why Teacher and the others chose to stay in the disaster?"

Gu Shen got it right, and muttered to himself: "If they choose to leave the disaster situation and step in again...the connection point may disappear."

"Yes, because no one knows what is the pattern of these black spots." Gu Qilin said in a deep voice: "Maybe they have no pattern at all...so we must be cautious! Every move of the outside world may lead to disasters There has been a change. Now the fourth legion is on alert to prevent this disaster from coming into contact with any living beings and causing mutations!"

"The waterway of the old world..."

Gu Shen rubbed the center of his brows, and asked, "What the hell is that?"

Can make Beizhou Military Headquarters pay so much attention to it!
A general personally guarded and evacuated the residents of the entire fortress at the same time. This is obviously going to be a protracted battle.

The old man didn't answer directly, but instead asked Gu Shen a question.

"You have been to Kiyotsuka, you should have seen the 'Colossus Ruins' there, right?"

Gu Shen was startled.

"Do you think... those things were built by us?" Gu Qilin said meaningfully.

Gu Shen shook his head.

Those giant statues have a long history.

Calculated from the new calendar, it is only more than 600 years.

"It's like a question that each of us will ask after we are born... Where do we come from and where are we going?"

Mr. Gu said softly: "Standing on the torrent of history, there will also be such a question, where did human beings come from and where are they going?"

Gu Shen understood a little bit.

But I didn't fully understand it.

"The relics of the colossi are from before the new calendar. No one knows who built these large sculptured stones." Gu Qilin smiled and said: "Similarly, the new calendar has been more than 600 years old, and no one knows [Old World 】What the hell is that, that’s probably where we ‘come’... I heard a rumor a long, long time ago that there is a […] Oasis], that is the holy land that carries the hope of the [Old World]. To find it, you need to go through endless tribulations and overcome countless obstacles.”

Gu Shen thought of the scene he just saw in the super-large disaster territory.

Endless snowstorm!

It's as cold as a knife!

He thought of Li's shrine mountain again... There are countless black spots outside the Beizhou fortress, and each one may be comparable to a shrine mountain covered by dark clouds.

Outside of that place...is there an [Oasis]?
how is this possible……

"You must be thinking, how is it possible." Mr. Gu shrugged and said with a smile: "I thought so too when I was young, when I saw the fortress in Beizhou and saw the billions of coins that couldn't be seen at a glance' Black Spot', I thought that even a god would not be able to cross the 'Black Sea' beyond Beizhou and reach the so-called 'Oasis of the Old World'."

"But... what I can tell you is."

"For so many years, human beings have never given up on the search for the 'oasis'... When the top transcendents of the five continents reach a certain level of strength, many of them will join the investigation team, cross the huge wall, and explore the outside world."

Gu Qilin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "For example...you should know Gu Zhi from Dadu District?"

Gu Shen nodded...

Shuangchuan, Guzhi.

This is a titled strongman with considerable strength!
If I remember correctly, Mr. Gu Zhi became a "title" in Beizhou Fortress. Because of an accident, he was injured and his strength declined, so he left Beizhou and came to Dadu with Mr. Chen Sanren.

"The most difficult exploration of the oasis is the 'black spot'. Except for the throne and the apostles who can ignore the black spot and forcefully trek for a certain distance, others can hardly travel long distances... This is the reason for the establishment of the fortress. The construction and repair work cost It took a lot of energy and time, but it turns out that building the giant wall is completely worthwhile, not only to fight against the invasion of black spots, but also to find the legendary 'channel'."

Gu Shen vaguely understood.

He silently visualized the map of Beizhou in his heart.

Looking down.

The huge map of Beizhou, with the fortresses connected in a line, is a super long line with undulating and undulating lines, and this long line is only one side of the entrance to the maze.

If there really is an "oasis"... then every point in this long line may be an entry point.

"This discovery is very important. If this is a true 'waterway', then human history is likely to usher in a new breakthrough." Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes and said: "Of course...the only thing we can do now , just waiting."

"Your teacher is generous and may be on a 'long trip' for a long time... and won't be back for a long time."

The wind from the roof blew faintly.

"Nobody knows when he'll be back."

"Even... no one can guarantee that he will be able to come back." Mr. Gu said calmly: "The worst result is... After a long, long time, there is no news of the three people who traveled far away, Beizhou can't let the disaster go endlessly The expansion of the disaster, so Her Majesty personally took action to shatter the disaster. Everything was shattered."

These words sound very unlucky.

But Gu Shen knows... this, on the contrary, is the most real.

"If the disaster situation is broken..."

"If Zhou Jiren arrived at the real 'connection point', then after the disaster situation is broken, he needs to find a way home again." Mr. Gu said slowly: "If he is still in the disaster situation, then... It will be broken together with the disaster."

Either way, it's bad.

"However, judging from Zhuxue's attitude at present, Beizhou is very patient, and the possibility of such a thing as crushing the disaster situation is not high."

The old man said indifferently: "At least until the fortress of Phiyue City is completely swallowed up... If Zhou Jiren has not appeared by then, I'm afraid things will be bad."

"call……"

Gu Shen's mood was a little complicated.

"This news may cause some changes in Nagano." Gu Qilin said: "You also know...some people have been watching the position of the Grand Adjudicator, and the two biggest troubles have disappeared now. "

Zhou Jiren, Luo Er.

"I'm afraid this is bad news for you."

Gu Qilin sighed, and said: "Just after the news of Beizhou came out, the Dongzhou Federation held an emergency meeting. The position of the adjudicator of the adjudication office is very important. Before the news of Zhou Jiren is unknown, someone is needed." Temporary acting...and the most suitable candidate is Zhu Wang."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

"I heard about the incident in the Snow Forbidden City a few days ago. Han Dang used some shady tricks behind his back. Although you fought back, there will inevitably be another time..."

The old man wants to see you poorly.

He smiled and said: "Motherless children are not welcome... It's not a problem to be bullied all the time. Why don't you think about it, the Gu family can protect you. "
