Bulwark of Light

Chapter 525
At the normal speed of the energy boat, it will take about a whole day to fly from Gubao Fortress to Central City.

Lin Lin's airship was already small in size, but there were only two passengers, so the space inside the boat seemed extraordinarily spacious.

Before sailing with Ajar, Gu Shen has been in the state of meditation and practice.

But when traveling with Lin Lin, he didn't need to carry it, and he didn't need to be polite.

Gu Shen went straight to the armory, thinking about the "cutting-edge technological products" of the Beizhou military.

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

Gu Shen's gaze was locked on the "new weapon" hanging on the wall.

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

"I haven't seen it before."

Gu Shen shook his head honestly. The battles he saw with the extraordinary people in Dongzhou were all relatively personal. This is the fighting style hatched by the "three institutes" system. It is controlled by the command post and cooperates with each other to carry out tasks. .

I have seen military origin energy weapons a few times.

But "Hand Cannon"... It's the first time I've seen it.

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

Gu Shen put the cannon back.

He looked at it for a moment. The weapons developed by the Beizhou military are rich in variety and have extraordinary lethality. Each energy boat is a mobile arsenal. These energy weapons and strong logic weapons are all standard in the boat. Matching... After reading it, Gu Shen was confused.

Gu Shen did not participate in the last "Storm Fight".

But Chu Ling then sent back the image of Jubi.

Thousands of energy boats arrived, and the endless firepower poured out, crushing the storm!

This battle was "clean and neat", completely suppressing firepower.

If the meaning of the existence of the giant wall is to resist the "source quality tide", then why is it necessary to deploy so many soldiers?It seems that [Deep Sea] alone can win such a war.

Lin Lin glanced at Gu Shen, who seemed to be able to read minds, and said, "Many years ago, when Emperor Iron Qiong was resisting the storm, there was no [deep sea], and even before that, we didn't even have fortresses. Only flesh and blood can be used to pile up the 'big 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 weapons of the Beizhou military, the superhumans, and the quality of the legion have all experienced a blowout leap!
But guarding the giant wall is a discipline and habit that has run through hundreds of years.

"The bill on the development and popularization of fully automatic weapons was proposed 20 years ago." Lin Linyouyou said: "Imagine, above the huge wall, there are countless [Sky Eyes] suspended, and countless source energy cannons towering , behind the buffer zone, there is another buffer zone. If a 'prime tide' occurs, we don't need to be nervous... just press a button and wait for [Deep Sea] to solve the crisis. There is no need to do anything during the whole process, just You just need to hide far away to fill up the ammunition, doesn’t this kind of future sound wonderful?”

Gu Shen was lost in thought.

He shook his head slowly.

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

The vast majority of people in Wuzhou have firmly believed that the future of mankind will become better because of [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 is equivalent to handing over the button of fate to AI.

In this group, there must always be someone who walks between life and death, and fights against the wind, snow, and darkness on the front line. They are the whistleblowers of human destiny, and the fighters who hold the line of life and death tightly.

Lin Lin smiled.

"Beizhou is using [Deep Sea], but Beizhou doesn't believe in [Deep Sea]." The young brigadier sipped his tea, sat on the pilot's seat of the airship, activated the [Deep Sea] automatic posture, and put his feet up in front of the big screen. He said with a little sarcasm: "If we want us to entrust our fate to a program, a super brain that can't find where the main body is, then it is equivalent to pointing a gun at our own head... The men in Beizhou guarded it with blood. This land is not only for all mankind, but to be selfish, it is actually for ourselves."

Gu Shen didn't think it was a kind of selfishness.

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

Beizhou resists the storm and resists the erosion of the [Old World], no matter what angle you look at... This is an act of righteousness to defend the destiny of all mankind.

So every year, many extraordinary people come to Beizhou to join the legion.

They swear, they grow, they die.

Blood is spilled, and huge walls are always there.

"So...the bill?"

"Of course it was rejected." Lin Lin took a sip of tea, paused slightly before speaking, and lowered his eyes and said, "It was rejected by me...by the great empress."

If God seat came forward.

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

The member of the highest seat has a veto.

"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 are really only frost, snow and storms in the [Old World]?" ?”

With this question, Gu Shen fell silent.

Before leaving for Beizhou.

His answer is yes.

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

But now...

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

"Look at this guy."

Lin Lin stretched out his palm, patted the obediently sleeping big dog under him, and said quietly: "As black spots continue to grow in Wuzhou, more and more disordered supernatural sources have been awakened in the past few years. The phenomenon is becoming more and more serious...Even dogs can awaken, so the possibility of 'awakening' cannot be ruled out for other creatures."

The Labrador retriever raised its head and looked at its master resentfully.

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

"It doesn't seem spirited?"

"Airsickness, fear of heights, and eating too much this morning."

Lin Lin's voice was calm: "This guy is a dog I raised since I was a child. After awakening, no one should have the ability, but he has a disease that only a bunch of people will get."

Gu Shen: "..."

"Who can guarantee that no living things will survive in the [Old World]?" Lin Lin opened his eyes and murmured softly: "For so many years, the investigation legion has been going out to carry out missions because everyone is willing to believe that there is an 'oasis' in the broken world Existence...where there is fresh oxygen and water, plenty of sunlight, no black spots, an eternal home."

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

He turned his head to look at Gu Shen: "Suppose there is such a place, with water, sunshine, and extremely livable... Then before humans set foot there, there should be some kind of creatures growing in that place. Humans cross [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 at this moment, and 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 so, after finding the 'oasis', human The fate is likely to be tragic."

"From the day I entered Gubao, I told myself...the [Old World] is not just a storm." Lin Lin narrowed his eyes, and his voice became cold: "Maybe one day... there will be other things. "

Lin Lin's words, like a basin of cold water, woke Gu Shen up.

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

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 huge night outside the huge wall, there may be more than one "traveler".

Except humans.

Perhaps... there are other beings trudging along.

【"Owner."】

At this moment, Gu Shen tried to connect with Jin Suihua's spiritual sea.

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

【"Why do I feel that you are not at peace?"】

The snake's voice was very respectful.

"The [Old World] map is not yet clear, so don't blindly go north." Gu Shen warned carefully: "The survey legion has summed up a relatively complete explorer's map, you can slowly explore along the known route... ..."

He said goodbye to Jin Suihua before, thinking that this big snake has rough skin and thick flesh, as long as it is not stupid, it will be fine even if it encounters a storm... so he simply let it travel by itself.

But now that I think about it, this arrangement is a bit rough.

Jin Suihua was startled, and asked in a mellow voice: "Is the master caring about me?"

It sent back the "road map" after parting with Gu Shen, the path was clear at a glance, and returned to the [maze] along the known route.

It has to be said that Orochi is very intelligent.

"Master, you can rest assured that I will not act recklessly. There is always an aura of fear and horror here... I decided to return to the [maze] first, and start checking from the 'regular point' that isolated the end of the maze." Jin Suihua carefully Confession: "If you can't find a clue, then consider going to the depths of the unknown... But it may take a long time to find the target."

"Very good." Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "If you find anything unusual, link to my spiritual sea as soon as possible."

In fact...

With his current strength, even if he really walked with Jin Suihua, not to mention being thousands of miles away at the moment, it would be of no help.

If Jin Suihua is really in serious danger and informs Gu Shen...then the only thing Gu Shen can do is to come to collect the body afterwards.

However, this sentence, to another person, has a completely different meaning——

This is the promise of "Pluto"!

Jin Suihua suddenly felt excited, and respectfully said: "Thank you for your kindness, my king! I will definitely live up to my expectations!"

It took the initiative to disconnect the link, not to disturb Gu Shen's side.

While Gu Shen was silent, he felt a little helpless.

The memory that this big snake has absorbed in the maze seems a little strange... It seems like I have read too many stories in ancient picture books, and my king is one bite at a time.

……

……

It was evening when the airship arrived in Central City.

Lin Lin was not in a hurry to land. He drove Gu Shen around the sky above the "Imperial City" of Beizhou. Looking down from the sky, this huge city is more majestic than Nagano, because its area is full of snow. Nearly ten times the size of the Forbidden City, Beizhou's highly concentrated power shrinks here, a large number of airships are suspended above the Iron Dome, and at the height of the giant city, you can see the ground of the Central City, which is divided into rings from the outside to the inside color.

That is the heat effect after the diffusion of the "furnace".

The buildings here are extremely tall, and there are "suspended giant buildings". In fact, the "foundation" of these giant buildings is the super-large energy boats that are suspended at low altitude all the year round. The reason why they are built in this way... is because the "melting furnace" is too powerful. too strong.

This was originally a city of winter, but the Beizhou fire melted all the ice and snow, and brought endless energy to the central city.

Due to the queen's enlightened policy, many giant companies in the five continents have chosen to come here, and building huge buildings on the energy boat is also convenient for future "relocation and movement".

Gu Shen saw the huge floating building with the words "Flower Banner" printed on it.

The airship landed some more.

Gu Shen's senses have changed again... It is better to say that the central city is "rough" than "magnificent". Every brick and tile has a sense of age. Nagano has a long history, and all the buildings have been completely preserved. After a long period of time, it is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

But Central City is different.

The flames of war have burned this huge city more than once, and today's "giant building" is the latest product of the [Deep Sea] era. This is actually a super-large "future city" similar in style to Dadu.

As night fell, small airships shuttled between the giant buildings like shooting stars.

Turbid air waves spit out.

Lin Lin's airship slowed down.

Just as he was about to stop, a handsome and feminine face popped up on the main screen.

Grand Duke Zhuxue smiled and said, "You two, welcome to Central City. I have arranged a dinner party to cleanse the dust, so let's disembark here, and [Deep Sea] will help to anchor."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

This connection speed... is really fast enough. It seems that every move of myself and Lin Lin is under the watchful eyes of Grand Duke Zhuxue.

Reasonable things.

Nagano has [Wind Eyes], and Central City is no exception.

This giant city should have the most top-level prevention and control measures.

Lin Lin didn't appreciate it, and responded flatly: "There are tens of thousands of people coming and going in and out of the Central City every day. What can we two do? Please trouble your majestic Beizhou Grand Duke to drive out to greet you. Isn't it appropriate?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

Grand Duke Zhuxue was not angry.

He smiled and said, "There are other people at the dinner party tonight."

Lin Silk raised her hand, and the [camera] that captured the images slowly rose, revealing more pictures. Behind Grand Duke Zhu Xue, there was a tall and empty banquet hall. The figures of those old acquaintances in the second team of the Legion.

There are also some "famous generals of Beizhou" seen on the giant wall.
