Bulwark of Light

Chapter 502 The Road to Homecoming
got windy.

Li Chen's voice made Gu Shen wake up suddenly.

The sound of the stone being slapped on the mask is very harsh... The source armor has a certain noise reduction and sound insulation effect, and this harsh sound is enough to explain the strength of the slap of the stone.

He raised his head and looked towards the distant sky.

The gravel that was already rolling the sky had a faint tendency to form a storm.

The "blazing fire" scattered around the body conveyed back the emotion of "irritability"!

It was more than one person who realized this strangeness.

In this team of explorers, there are other superhuman beings with keen senses.

Yuan Yuan and Su He at both ends of the team raised their heads.

The two captains and deputy captains looked at each other.

A calm voice sounded in the command channel.

"Everyone has raised the source energy combustion efficiency to 120%, we have to speed up..."

The sound just landed.

Several old birds have already completed this configuration, and obviously they have also noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment at this moment.

Source A's energy technology has basically matured after Beizhou's long-term research. In fact, under special circumstances, Source A has a backup option to "break through the upper limit", but this means that a large amount of source quality is wasted.

For missions out of the fortress, every transcendent must cherish his own energy.

After the combustion efficiency breaks through 100%.

The source armor can operate at an overload, greatly improving the forward efficiency...but instead, the mileage is greatly reduced!
Unless it is absolutely necessary, such an order will not be issued!

Within five seconds, the burning efficiency of the source armor increased to 120%, and the speed of the entire team began to soar. On the wasteland full of fog in the [Old World], the twelve members of this explorer team changed into figures. It was blurred, like a sharp arrow, shooting out with a whizzing swish!

"Captain, what's the situation now?"

Zhu Xiao spoke in the public channel, his voice a little nervous.

"The wind pressure suddenly increased."

Yuan Yuan replied calmly: "There may be a [storm] that will form... If we are fast enough, we should be able to escape before the storm forms."

"My [Pupil of Source] has detected a change in the source quality in the north direction." Li Chen immediately reported his survey results: "After an hour, the source quality should initially condense into a [storm]."

Due north?

The members of the squad looked at each other.

This should be regarded as good news... If the source of these riots is concentrated in the south, then it will be terrible!

The direction of the return trip is south.

The storm gathered to the north of them, and at least there was still a way home to escape.

Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

Li Chen's [Pupil of the Source] has limited sensing ability, he only sensed a storm in the north direction...but his "Blazing Fire" has a wider sensing range!
in his sight.

The gathering point of "wind pressure" is not just one place.

Farther away, several storms are brewing.

"It is not uncommon to encounter a storm in the [Old World]."

Seeing Gu Shen's silence, Yuan Yuan comforted him via voice transmission: "Most of the explorer teams can escape...as long as they catch the movement in advance and don't get caught in the storm."

"Um……"

Gu Shen woke up from the state of thinking, and subconsciously responded.

Then he asked, "What would it be like if you were caught in a storm?"

"Of course...death."

Yuan Yuan's answer did not hesitate at all.

He looked at Gu Shen, wondering why such a smart guy would ask such a simple question?

"In the storms of the old world, there is only the source of violence, which is a power that cannot be tamed. A mortal body cannot bear this kind of violent extraordinary power. Even the seat of God is difficult to fight against it, and can only dodge it... No one wants to enter the storm and survive. Once caught in the storm, there is only one ending left, and that is complete annihilation."

Yuan Yuan's voice was low: "In the real sense, annihilation."

The physical body was naturally crushed by the storm.

The skin of an organic creature, no matter how hard it is to temper its own skin, can't resist that terrifying power.

As for the spirit.

Before such a huge source quality storm, the spirit is a lonely boat on the raging sea.

After the body is broken, perhaps the spirit can survive for a second or two.

Immediately afterwards... was submerged in the raging sea.

Gu Shen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then I have some bad news to tell you. An hour later, there will be a storm on the west side that will reach where we were at that time. If you follow this route to escape, you will only have a dead end." Gu Shen said calmly through voice transmission: "Li Chen's test result is wrong. This is not an ordinary storm. There are at least ten wind pressure points. Every storm that is brewing will converge towards the south."

"...?"

Yuan Yuan's complexion was a little pale.

If this sentence hadn't come from Gu Shen's mouth, he would never have believed it!
Ever since I joined the Survey Corps and started to carry out missions out of the fortress, I haven't encountered a storm of this terrifying scale for so many years... And the worst thing is that these storms will all head south?

what does this mean?
This means... there will be an unprecedented tide of source quality, impacting on the huge wall of the positive wing line of defense!
If the scale of the storm is as Gu Shen said.

So, the Umbrella Line of Defense... can it withstand it?

He raised his forehead subconsciously, but his palms pressed against the cold source armor mask, and with only a slight force, there was a very soft "click" sound, which sounded outside the mask, and Yuan Yuan's pupils shrank slightly... This sound aroused him. Attention!

He quickly concentrated his energy on the transparent mask.

Invisible to the naked eye.

But the mental power has captured the "strangeness" of the mask at this moment.

Due to the impact of gravel.

The source armor mask has actually been damaged. These damages are extremely small, and there are scratches, but the accumulation has weakened a certain point of the mask to the point that it may crack at any time!

These stones... are not simple ordinary stones, they probably flew over from the "wind pressure brewing point", so they are full of source quality power, if the number is more dense, it is likely to destroy the source armor!

"team leader?"

Li Chen, who had always opened the [Pupil of the Source], immediately noticed Yuan Yuan's strangeness, and the captain's mood seemed to fluctuate.

Unfortunately.

So far, he has not caught the real danger... thinking that there is only one "wind pressure point".

"I'm... all right."

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and regained his composure. He quickly replaced the spare mask, and then issued an order on the command channel, "All members check the damage of the source armor and report."

"The captain replaced a new mask, is his source armor damaged?"

Mo Hongyi was a little confused after hearing the words.

"It seems that...the surrounding stones are not quite right." Jiang Yu frowned.

In the public channel, the results of the report came out soon.

Nothing to worry about came up.

Other people's Yuanjia only had very slight "bruises", not as serious as Yuan Yuan's, and there was no need to replace it, but everyone realized that they were in a very dangerous environment at the moment.

Due to the breakthrough of the limit of energy and fuel efficiency, the team's forward speed is extremely fast.

And faster.

Such wear and tear is more serious.

Yuan Yuan tried to release all his mental power, but unfortunately, he did not have Gu Shen's powerful detection ability, and the range he could sense was not that big, but in his senses, there was indeed more than one wind pressure point.

This is enough to prove that Li Chen's [Pupil of the Source] hasn't seen all of it.

"Gu Shen...I want to hear your opinion."

Yuan Yuan had a very headache.

The news is just too bad.

He hasn't figured out what to do next... If an hour later, the team will encounter a storm on the west side, how should the team return to Gubao?Is it necessary to continue to improve fuel efficiency?

No, that is definitely a dead end!
Although sufficient energy has been prepared for this outing mission.

But under the limit combustion of 120%, the energy is only enough for everyone to return to the fortress.

If it is raised again...the return energy cannot support the subsequent journey.

After the one-hour storm, the next journey will only become more urgent. If there is not enough fuel, the storm will definitely catch up!
The most important thing is that these "gravels" floating in the air are not enough to pose a threat even if they contain a certain amount of power at a normal driving speed.

The more efficient the combustion and the faster the travel, the more dangerous these floats are!

"My advice……"

Gu Shen looked into the distance silently, and after sensing the wind pressure point, he also fell into thinking.

He also thought about all the problems Yuan Yuan had thought about before.

It would be great if Chu Ling existed at this juncture. Perhaps with the help of the huge computing power of [Deep Sea], he could find a possible way to survive in this storm.

But no matter how you look at it now, it looks like a dead end.

A few seconds later, Gu Shen asked a question: "How much can the highest fuel efficiency of Yuanjia break through?"

"150%." Yuan Yuan frowned slightly, and he solemnly said: "120% limit breakthrough, the rate of burning energy is 1.5 times the normal rate, 150% limit breakthrough, in addition to causing a huge load on the source armor... Burn 3 times the source energy fuel."

Under the consumption of this terrifying source energy.

A transcendent who wears source armor will be greatly blessed with speed, even in an environment like the [Old World], he can have unparalleled speed.

In this case, the team has a great probability of escaping the storm in front of them!
However, the cost is to consume three times the source quality fuel!

"My suggestion is to make a 150% source armor energy breakthrough!" Gu Shen said slowly, staring into Yuan Yuan's eyes, and expressed his thoughts.

Outrun the storm first, and then consider other things... Yuan Yuan fell into silence.

He hadn't seen it before.

Such a "crazy" gene is actually engraved in Gu Shen's bones.

Soon, Yuan Yuan laughed at himself. He felt that his previous thoughts were really ridiculous. Faced with this situation, what else could he do?
Can someone really give a "walking in the garden" solution?
"It's not difficult to break through the limit of the final state." Yuan Yuan said hoarsely: "But even if we outrun the storm, we will run out of fuel, and we will all die here."

"Do not……"

Gu Shen called up the electronic map in the field of view of the mask.

"We can go back to the fortress..."

He looked at this meandering road home, which was the correct way to the labyrinth that the survey corps had spent more than ten years summarizing. Most of the area outside this meandering route was shrouded in fog. .

Gu Shen used his mental power to connect the starting point at this moment with the ending point of Gubao Fortress on the electronic map.

He said softly: "As long as you walk in a straight line that no one has ever walked before, you can return to the fortress."
