Bulwark of Light

Chapter 488 Call from the Legion Commander
"drop……"

"..."

The curve on the instrument gradually returns to zero.

Returning to zero is death.

This curve is Hong Zhong's hope for a turnaround... Everyone has seen this scene.

Curves go to zero, hopes dashed.

The psychiatrist in the ward stared blankly at the scene in front of him. He never imagined that this man who escaped from the [Old World] through all kinds of difficulties would fall here... A few minutes ago, the man's vital signs All are stable.

The appraiser looked at the face, pale with death.

He licked his dry, chapped lips.

In the ward, a needle can be heard in the silence, and his extremely difficult voice made the dead silence even more depressing.

"Hong Zhong..."

"Confirmed death."

……

……

observation room.

Lin Lin stared at this scene silently. Of course he knew what Hong Zhong's death meant... This is the only survivor in the maze mission, and also the "homecoming hero" with tens of millions of eyes on Beizhou.

The news of his death was extremely bad news for Küborg Fortress.

However, Lin Lin's persistent "spiritual appraisal" did not yield much useful information... The only useful information was that Hong Zhong had indeed seen the "Oasis".

This further confirms the title of "hero".

Yuan Yuan looked at his old friend for many years silently, lying down in that ward, covered with a white cloth, and then closed his eyes forever.

this moment.

His original anger... seems to have been blown away by the wind.

The vice-captain got up slowly, looked at Lin Lin, and said softly and sarcastically: "Master Brigadier General, you are indeed the iron-blooded garrison... After a while, the leader of the legion will call you personally."

This very soft voice was full of his deep sorrow.

There is strict order in Beizhou.

He didn't use honorifics.

And the last "call" did not conceal his irony.

Lin Lin didn't care about this.

With his hands behind his back, he continued to stare at the corpse in the observation room. No one knew what he was thinking...but before Yuan Yuan left the room, Lin Lin spoke again.

"His body remains in Gubao."

this moment.

Yuan Yuan's anger had overflowed to his chest.

He pinched the door frame, making a crackling sound, and sawdust fell.

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.

"why?"

"There is no reason, this is an order, is this your first day in Beizhou?"

Lin Lin looked at the outsider indifferently, and responded without emotion: "In Gubao Fortress, all actions need my permission... Even if you move the army commander, it is useless, you can try to go I beg Your Majesty, I will only accept her guidance."

Yuan Yuan smiled.

He found this reply extremely absurd.

He looked at this headstrong young brigadier sadly, no longer concealing the contempt in his eyes.

Yuan Yuan said softly: "Your Excellency Lin Lin, I simply can't believe that you are such a character... I also can't believe that Gubao Fortress would treat a homecoming hero so harshly... I have nothing to say, I wish you Martial luck is prosperous."

"..."

Lin Lin looked away from the other party.

He didn't say anything.

Yuan Yuan, as well as the transcendents who were rushing to Gubao Fortress from the investigative army, suppressed the anger in their hearts and left the meeting.

Zou Hai also sighed softly.

He left the observation room gently, and was alone, dealing with the trifles after Hong Zhong's death for the Brigadier General.

In the entire observation room, there were only two people left.

Gu Shen, and Lin Lin.

The eyes of the two people were very consistent, and they fell on Hong Zhong's cheek...

"Why do you insist on 'spiritual identification'."

The peace of observation was broken by Gu Shen.

He said quietly: "Hong Zhong's file is perfect. This is a loyal person who has dedicated everything to Beizhou. Is it necessary to conduct a 'spiritual appraisal' for someone like him?"

Lin Lin glanced at the guest from Dongzhou.

"Feel sorry……"

He didn't have the habit of explaining to outsiders, so he said softly: "Mr. Gu, this trip to Beizhou has disappointed you. The 'spiritual appraisal' has not obtained any effective clues. We will conduct further analysis on the stick sawdust. If there is a conclusion, You will be notified as soon as possible.”

"Is this an eviction order?" Gu Shen smiled.

"Probably." Lin Lin said, "Gu Castle never entertains guests, and you are already an exception."

Gu Shen shrugged.

"Last night's massage service experience was very good. This is the first time I have enjoyed the massage of a Labrador dog."

Lin Lin frowned.

"Besides... the breakfast this morning is also good, but Liba is a bit hard."

"What do you want to say?" The brigadier general lost his patience.

"I want to say... Gubao Fortress is a good place, I don't want to leave in a hurry." Gu Shen stood up, smiled and said: "Of course, you are the biggest here... If you still insist on driving me away after 3 minutes If not, I can only pack up and leave."

Gu Shen came to Lin Lin's side, no longer detoured.

He directly broke the idea of ​​the brigadier general.

"You insist on having a psychiatric evaluation, and you insist on refusing to return the body... because you don't think Hong Zhong is the 'hero' that the public opinion calls."

"He returned to Gubao Fortress, but did not disclose the specific exploration details of the [Old World]... A returnee, skipping the process, gave a shocking exploration result. But this exploration result affects and determines the next step of the labyrinth mission. One step, if the No.30 eight routes are successful and reliable, then the next investigation team can expand in scale to find the 'oasis clues' given by Hong Zhong."

"But if it's fake..."

Gu Shen said: "Perhaps, this time the investigative army team that went north out of Gubao will usher in annihilation."

Lin Lin respected Gu Shen.

He listened quietly, and then said, "You still have one minute."

"One minute is enough."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "The annihilation of the entire army is not the worst outcome... the worst outcome is that they all survive, and it is confirmed that the news of the 'oasis' brought back by Hong Zhong is correct. Then this time the Beizhou military will invest Unprecedented power, set off from the giant wall of Gubao, to search for the "dream land" of human beings. This is what you are most afraid of."

"..."

The 3 minute countdown is over.

Lin Lin didn't chase people away.

He just silently looked at the young man standing in front of him, the time was really fast, when he stood in front of the previous Gubao garrison, did the other party feel the same way...

Why did new geniuses emerge without knowing it?
In the Beizhou military system, Lin Lin, who has made amazing achievements, is young enough.

Gu Shen, on the other hand, was younger.

After a while, Lin Lin asked softly, "How did you see this... Is there something wrong with Hong Zhong's body?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

Pointing to his forehead, he said with a light smile, "Just like you, the brigadier generals rely on intuition."

"Jingle Bell--"

At this moment, the voice of the communicator sounded.

Lin Lin answered the call.

He glanced at Gu Shen, didn't leave the observation room, and still stood there.

This was somewhat beyond Gu Shen's expectation.

This call should be from the "legion commander" Yuan Yuan said... Lin Lin didn't avoid suspicion?
What was even more unexpected to Gu Shen was that Lin Lin turned on the speakerphone.

A gentle and powerful female voice came from the communicator.

"Brigadier General Lin Lin, I already know what's going on in Gubao."

"Lord Legionnaire."

Lin Lin took a deep breath, although he told Yuan Yuan... Even if he asked the army commander, he would not waver!
However, it is still quite stressful for Gubao Fortress to have a big person at the level of legion commander come to call.

Don't wait for the communicator to speak.

Lin Lin responded first: "I will properly handle the 'Hong Zhong' incident and give an explanation to everyone who is concerned about this incident in Beizhou. Please trust me and Gubao."

There was a moment of silence on the communicator.

Unexpectedly, the legion leader said: "About your persistence in this incident... Central City has affirmed that what you did was not wrong."

"only……"

The subject changed, and she said slowly: "You should have read Hong Zhong's file. This is a soldier who worked for the Investigation Corps 20 years ago. Many people fought bloody battles with him, and his comrades are deeply affectionate. A homecoming hero, he cannot just die like this, Zhong Yuan begged me to take his body out of Gubao."

Lin Lin was silent.

The pressure facing Gubao is not just the army commander.

There are also public opinions from the outside world...

"I also suppress this request." She said calmly: "Kurburg has independent processing power. Based on years of knowledge and trust, I support all the decisions you make... Regarding the investigation of public opinion within the legion, You don't need to pay attention."

Lin Lin's expression lifted.

This call... was a great encouragement to him.

"but!"

"Next, I will send the second team of the Survey Legion to set off from Gubao Fortress to carry out the Maze 38 mission again..."

The woman's voice was very firm, "The investigative legion will go back to Hong Zhong's original route to explore the truth about the clues about the 'Oasis'. This order has been approved by Her Majesty the Queen!"

This sentence is more like a notice.

"receive--"

Lin Lin said in a deep voice: "Gubao will fully cooperate with the investigation army's combat operations!"

"very good……"

There was soft laughter from the communicator.

this laugh...

Gu Shen was stunned. Judging from the conversation just now, the leader of the legion should be a ruthless image, right?

These two should have known each other a long time ago?
After the laughter, there was an affirmative question: "Gu Shen is by your side, right?"

Lin Lin's expression didn't fluctuate, he glanced at Gu Shen beside him, and hummed lightly.

The legion leader said: "Let him pick up the call."

Lin Lin signaled with his eyes that Gu Shen could speak.

Good guy... It turned out that the "hands-free" was turned on in advance, did you expect this scene long ago?

Gu Shen had never seen that legion commander before, he raised his head subconsciously and looked into the observation room, the Beizhou military should also use the [Sky Eye] to lock his position.

"Do not be nervous."

The legion commander said softly: "Gu Shen, I would like to send my greetings to you on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress."

"..."

As soon as the words Your Majesty the Queen came out, I became nervous even if I wasn't nervous.

Gu Shengong said: "I have seen the leader of the army."

"I don't know if you are interested in this exploration mission going north out of Gubao?"

The head of the legion said slowly: "After your teacher left Phi Yue City, there has been no news. The military has been looking for news about them, but unfortunately, the clues have been interrupted... After Hong Zhong's death, the clues of 'cane sawdust' Maybe buried behind that maze."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows.

Yeah...it's a big mess.

In fact, from the very beginning, Gu Shen felt that the invitation from the military was not that simple.

But I never imagined that after arriving at Gubao, I would encounter a situation where the mental appraisal failed... The witness who provided the "cane sawdust" died on the spot, and the true meaning of this clue was directly lost.

"Of course I'm interested. It's just..."

Gu Shen said slowly: "I heard that the selection criteria of the Beizhou Investigation Corps are very strict. This is the first time I have come to Beizhou..."

He originally wanted to mediate with the Legion Commander.

Exchange information.

Or talk about terms.

"I set the selection criteria for the investigation corps... I don't think there is any problem with you."

The voice from the communicator didn't hesitate, "If that's the case, it's settled, and you will be added to this maze mission."

"..."

Gu Shen was a little dumbfounded.

Jiang was still old and spicy, so he didn't give himself a chance to negotiate terms at all. The leader of the legion directly made the decision and set the task.

"May I ask, let me join the mission... Is this what Her Majesty the Empress means?"

Gu Shen had a headache.

"Mr. Gu, Her Majesty is very busy."

The army leader did not directly answer this question, but smiled meaningfully, and then said gently: "For doubts about the mission, you can go to the captain of this mission, or go to Ajar."

The communicator hangs up.

Gu Shen was a little helpless, he smiled softly.

"Perhaps you should have issued an expulsion order earlier..."

"You should be happy to be able to stay in this 'nice place' of Gubao for a few more days." Lin Lin said lightly.

"I'm really happy."

There was not much joy on Gu Shen's face, he suddenly asked: "Can you make my bread softer tomorrow?"

Hard-talking guy... Lin Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "The exploration mission starting from Gubao Fortress is extremely dangerous, and the death rate is astonishing. If you count the one just now... well, the number of people who come back alive can be counted on two hands. Sending a guy who has never left the giant wall out of the fortress, it seems that the leader of the legion is very fond of you."

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

A hand stretched out in front of him.

"I wish you to visit Gubao often for the rest of your life, and I will welcome you." Lin Lin congratulated solemnly and said, "The premise is that you can come back alive."

"Speak the truth from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Brigadier General, to hear your blessing..."

Gu Shen held Lin Lin's hand, and said seriously, "It's really a very unlucky thing."

Lin Lin's face changed slightly.

This was the first time...someone had spoken to him like that.

Gu Shen quickly slipped away.

After a while, he came back to his senses.

Lin Lin's expression was a little subtle. He remembered the conversation with Adjutant Zou last night... Why didn't he feel "unfathomable" when he looked at this guy?

What eyes hide in the deep sea, half bright, half dark...

He didn't see any of this.

Lin Lin murmured in a low voice: "Call me unlucky... Obviously he is unlucky."

"Jingle Bell--"

The communicator rang again.

Lin Lin answered the call.

It was still the voice of the legion commander.

"By the way...your sister often mentions you to me, she must be missing you."

The voice was no longer cold and severe.

It is as gentle as a spring breeze.

"It's free, come back and have a look."

Lin Lin's face was hidden in the darkness of the observation room.

"I see."

He said softly, "Thank you Aunt Wen..."
