Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 430 Situation
The next day, as the sky gradually brightened, Chen Chuan opened his eyes from deep meditation.

He felt it and felt that the effect of taking special medicines to practice in the fusion land seemed to be better than in the central city.

But it also seems to involve taking more risks.

He looked at the second me, and the signs of emptiness were very obvious and lingering. It seemed that this invasion was long-term, and it was unknown how long it would take to disappear.

He needs to be more cautious when taking medicine and practicing here, and not as frequently as in the central city. After all, he still needs to take on combat missions.

He got up, washed, and was about to go outside to exercise when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside, as if something happened.

After he noticed this, he changed into the uniform issued yesterday, walked out of the dormitory, and came to the open space in the middle of the fortress. He saw that the gate of the garrison was open and a team of garrison soldiers were trotting out, but no vehicles were mobilized.

He knew at a glance that there must be a problem in the area nearby, so he walked out of the gate under the salutes of the sentries on both sides. Once outside, he immediately found the abnormality without having to look for it.

On the thick white snow ahead, not far from the railway tracks, there was a series of huge footprints, each about two or three meters long, deeply embedded in the ground, revealing the dark mud below.

Judging from the footprints alone, it looked like some kind of large quadruped creature, coming from the other end of the railroad track and extending as far as the eye could see. The closest place was only 20 to 30 meters away from the fortress wall, almost sticking to it.

There were several technicians and officers standing next to the footprints and discussing something, and there were several soldiers around them. Although they spoke in low voices, their voices were still clearly heard by Chen Chuan.

"It looks like a big one?"

"Not necessarily. In the fusion area, what you haven't seen cannot be counted, and what you see can't be taken seriously either. So the footprints may just be footprints, not necessarily something real."

The officer called over a member of the guard who was on duty yesterday and asked, "Did anything happen last night?"

The soldier saluted and said, "Sir, everything was normal last night and I didn't hear anything. I found this trace when I was out on patrol this morning."

The officer seemed to be used to it and said casually, "Record it and put it in the file."

Chen Chuan looked at the footprints for a while and then turned back.

Because how to control the activity index is the most important thing at the moment, I applied directly during the procedure yesterday and the time was set at eight o'clock in the morning.

He went back to eat something, met up with two teammates, and came to the training room. The teacher in charge of teaching breathing techniques was already one step ahead.

This man’s surname is Zhai, and he is also a third-level fighter. His identity is the fighting guard and instructor in the base.

After the three people arrived, he spoke briefly and then began to explain the main points.

Basic stuff like breathing techniques were almost no difficulty for Chen Chuan and the other two. After listening to it once, they mastered it easily. The next step was to practice diligently.

Yuan Qiyuan's attitude towards this teacher was completely different from that towards Tian Yu. He showed great respect. After mastering the breathing method, he stood up and asked, "Instructor Zhai, in order to resist the invasion of activation, besides breathing methods and drugs, are there any other ways to avoid it?"

Instructor Zhai said: "Yes, transplanting implants can effectively avoid this kind of thing. Because the activity of imitation implants is not high and it is difficult to be activated, it is widely used. Ordinary soldiers stationed here will use combat implants.

Fighters also have corresponding combat implants. If you need them, we can arrange them. However, it takes a long time to match the third-level implants, and we also need to take the alienated tissues from your body, so even if you submit an application, you still have to wait for a while."

Yuan Qiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't need it. I only believe in my fists and weapons."

Instructor Zhai said: "It is right to stick to your original intention, but we are combatants. What will happen in the future is not determined by your own will, but depends on your enemy.

I have served here for more than twelve years. I have seen people whose limbs or internal organs were overactive and had to be replaced with implants. Many more people lost some parts in battle. They went from not accepting it in the beginning to accepting it. Now many of them are still active on the front line and have become the backbone of the army.

In the frontier areas, theirs has become the mainstream.

For example, I am the same...”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a muscular arm.

It can be seen that the lower part of his elbow has been replaced with an implant, and it looks no different from the original one because it is covered by the skin that has grown out of him.

But if you look closely, you can see some differences.

“This implant is adapted to my alienated tissue, and it feels almost the same as before. It will not hinder my combat, but will enhance certain parts of my body.

As an instructor, I'm giving you a piece of advice: don't reject things that can save your life, even if it doesn't seem that good at the moment. Saving your life is better than anything else. Times are changing, and you never know when you'll be able to make up for your regrets."

Yuan Qiyuan curled his lips. Although he respected the instructor, he still declined such things. He had higher aspirations. After installing this, whether he could make progress or not would all depend on his skills.

After the breathing method course was over, the three of them went to the projection room to continue their class, and this time they mainly explained the environment of the fusion land. They were at the near end of the fusion land, far from the world ring that everyone knew. This was also the place where the world was conquered, developed and controlled the most by various countries, and it was considered the rear.

But this is not really safe, because the Interchange is too vast, and all they can control is the section where the railway extends and a part of the periphery of the military base.

Yuan Qiyuan raised his hand at this time, and after getting Tian Yu's permission to speak, he said: "I came here to protect the World Ring, but judging from this, it should be very far away from us, right? Is it our turn to go there?"

Tian Yu said: "In terms of conventional distance, it is indeed very far, but the World Ring is not just a simple existence in reality, because the world on the other side is more inclined to invade at the spiritual level, so it is actually a field isolation zone built by various field creatures in the central city.

The three executors should know that the central city is the forefront of the collision between the two worlds, the gap between the two worlds, and the anchor point of another world. Therefore, when the fields of these resistance anchor points are gathered together, all channels that invade our world are tightly blocked. "

As she spoke, she pointed with her pointer, and all the central cities in the world appeared on the projector. Above the central city, there was a huge light representing the field.

“…When these are connected together, this is it.”

Chen Chuan looked and saw that all the lights in the central city were connected to one place, like a swaying nebula light belt, swirling back and forth.

“Since all the central cities are connected, they appear in the material world as a huge ring, which is the origin of the World Ring.

However, the presentation of the field on the spiritual level is likely to be different, and when the two defense levels of reality and spirit are combined, they are collectively referred to as the "ring curtain."

At this point, she said seriously: "Because the biological field tends to be spiritual, some unique fighters and powerful resonators, with the help of certain special conditions, their spirits may be able to penetrate this barrier and approach or reach the other side.

So the World Ring may be far away, but it is actually right next to you."

"What are those things on the other side of the World Ring?"

Yuan Qiyuan asked curiously from below.

"Executive Yuan Qiyuan, please raise your hand if you have any questions."

Yuan Qiyuan immediately raised his hand and asked again impatiently: "Instructor Tian, ​​what's on the other side?"

Tian Yu said: "This is confidential. Disclosure is strictly prohibited. In addition, the government and major companies strictly prohibit anyone from crossing the World Ring privately, because such an action would damage the World Ring itself."

She raised her voice with a stern face, and reminded them seriously, "Executives, don't even think about crossing over, because those who have that ability will either be eliminated or recruited by the government and the company. They will intercept and locate anyone who crosses over recklessly.

Once confirmed, a team composed of governments and corporate consortiums will come to eliminate them immediately. After the first defense plan is confirmed, they have the right to eliminate any individuals and forces that exceed this limit without trial. "

Yuan Qiyuan shrugged, "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."

Qin Qingque raised his hand at this time.

"Executive Qin Qingque, do you have any questions?" Tian Yu's attitude softened a little.

"Our enemy."

Qin Qingque asked seriously: "Since we are here to participate in the defense of the World Ring, then may I ask, who are our enemies and where are they?"

"It seems that the three of you can't wait any longer." A voice came from the side of the podium in the screening room.

Chen Chuan looked up from his seat and saw an officer in uniform, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and standing straight, walking out from the side door.

He walked to the podium and saluted the three people. "I am Ding Mou, the tactical staff officer of the command office. I have been ordered to convey the action plan to your team."

When Yuan Qiyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qin Qingque's whole body naturally tensed up and he entered a certain state.

Ding Mou looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Executive Chen, since you just entered here, the higher-ups originally planned to let you rest for two days to familiarize yourself with the environment and the areas that need attention, and then assign you some adaptive tasks.

However, an urgent message was sent from another station just now. Currently, all other teams have been transferred to the front to perform tasks. Only your combat-capable team is idle, so you may have to end your course schedule early."
