Chapter 14 Set foot on the 【Old World】(1/2)
The Second Team of the Survey Corps conducted a three-day special training in Gubao.
The next "maze mission" is crucial.
A total of twelve extraordinary people will leave the fortress, cross the northern border, and arrive at the [Old World]...and this special training will also select the suitable candidates for the final departure.
During these three days of training, Gu Shen participated in the entire process.
He is a "newcomer" in the true sense. Regarding the control skills of Yuan Jia, the knowledge of survival outside the fortress, and the experience of exploration missions, these aspects are almost zero... It's just that Gu Shen's performance made the Survey Corps'
All members were surprised.
This young man is very powerful.
Even if the competition is fair, he can still be included in the final "twelve people" list.
Three days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Today is the departure day.
Gu Shen wore the silver-white "fourth-level source armor" of the Survey Corps. As Azhaer said, when they really rush to the "battlefield", soldiers will wear special source armor that is one level higher than their own strength.
The fourth-level source armor can carry the power of an extraordinary person above the tenth level in the deep water area.
Its source energy driving force is more powerful, and its material is tougher.
This investigation team went to explore the maze. There were two teams in total, the main team and the deputy team. In the twelve-person lineup, except for Li Chen, the spiritual assistant who had awakened the "Eye of the Source", everyone else was a third-level extraordinary.
who.
The home team is led by Yuan Yuan and is responsible for clearing the way from the front.
The deputy captain is named Su He. He is a hidden middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, but very strong. Gu Shen estimates that Su He's strength is at the peak of the ninth level of the deep sea, and he is only just short of breaking through to the fourth level.
There's a thin line of difference.
Gu Shen was naturally assigned to the "deputy team".
Although he did not fall behind in the special training these days and performed well, the Survey Corps still put him in a "protective position".
This is an important person who needs to be "protected".
Gu Shen said nothing and silently accepted the arrangement.
For him... this is the first time to go to the [Old World]. There is no need to be overconfident. If he can go forward with this experienced team and return smoothly, it will be regarded as a success of the mission.
As for the "cane sawdust" clue, anything can happen in the [Old World].
Hope to find it.
But if you walk through the maze and find nothing, it can only be said to be fate.
On top of the giant wall.
Twelve figures stood, and above their heads were giant boats suspended in the sky.
Further on the giant boat.
There is a sky-covering barrier, made up of tens of millions of transparent floating panels densely packed together. This is the direct barrier between the huge wall of the Gubao Fortress and the [Old World].
This is an epic and magnificent source energy defense shield.
Humanity has never given up exploring the world beyond the giant wall.
Moreover, with the development of technology, Beizhou is trying to advance outside the fortress little by little. In a world where order has collapsed, he can extend outward... just like a big tree, spreading its branches underground, extending
The more land there is, the greater the hope of survival.
This huge protective shield is like a big umbrella, covering the ceiling of the fortress.
That’s why it’s called the “Umbrella Line of Defense.”
The furnace under Central City continuously burns "energy" in order to support this huge line of defense.
Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes.
He spoke softly: "All members of the Second Brigade of the Survey Corps, the Special Operations Team, are in place. Please open the 'source energy shield'."
"receive."
Zou Hai's calm voice came from the channel of Gubao Fortress.
"Buzz buzz-"
The floating source energy plate in the distant sky began to roar, the flying snow flowed backwards, and a huge suction force was born from outside the giant wall. It only opened an extremely narrow gap, and the tidal power of the black hole was enough to frighten people.
In comparison, humans are really tiny creatures.
It is hard to imagine that the defenders of the Gubao Fortress could hold on to this position and not take a step back for hundreds of years.
This moment.
There are tens of millions of particles visible to the naked eye on the giant wall, rolling back and surging within the boundaries of order collapse.
Gu Shen took a gentle breath and looked at the unknown world where the flying snow rolled back. He knew that from the moment the Gubao Fortress opened the "Umbrella Defense Line", Yuan Jia entered the "consumption state", and the mask isolated [
the dirty smell of the old world, and purification becomes possible
Breathing clean gas. In addition, this external armor can reduce and increase its gravity as the environment changes, but all effects require "burning source energy". Due to limitations of technical conditions, the complete combustion of an energy core
The time is about thirty days.
There is ample energy for this operation.
Enough to support the team's round trip.
Every extraordinary member of the Survey Corps standing on the giant wall has a solemn look on his face. Even though they have participated in dozens of exploration missions, every time they leave a human stronghold, it may mean farewell forever.
Yuan Yuan's voice slowly sounded on the central channel.
"Maze Thirty-eight...the twentieth exploration mission has officially begun!"
Twelve pieces of Source Armor spurt out snow-white air currents.
A moment.
Sweeping out from the giant wall.
In just a few seconds, twelve figures rushed out of the "Umbrella Defense Line", and the floating panels of the Gubao Fortress began to close quickly, blocking out the broken order of the [Old World] again.
[Deep Sea] cannot be linked in [Old World].
Communication between the two parties was interrupted at this moment.
The command room of Gubao Fortress fell silent for an instant.
The command of this operation was carried out by Zou Hai, but all the commanders subconsciously looked at the person next to Lieutenant Zou.
Lin Lin remained silent throughout the entire process, watching the team leave the fortress.
Because of the "Hong Zhong" incident, friction arose between the Investigation Corps' Second Team and Gubao. Because of the support of the Corps Commander, Lin Lin was given all the rights to handle the follow-up of this incident.
He once again rejected the request of the Second Team of the Investigation Corps to pick up the body of the "hero".
This decision made both parties unhappy.
Before the start of the maze mission, Yuan Yuan did not have any communication with Gubao.
At this moment, communication was disconnected.
Lin Lin looked at the figures that were gradually blurring on the screen, and said softly in a very low voice: "I wish you a happy victory."
The "Umbrella Line of Defense" is reopened.
The broken snow in Gubao returned to stability, and the world became peaceful and peaceful again.
Zou Hai rubbed his head.
I don’t know why…
Maybe it was the reason why Gu Shen was sent away... He always felt that the uneasy premonition in his heart had returned.
…
…
There was a "boom"!
It seemed like the sound of broken stone fragments hitting the respirator.
It was probably just a stone chip the size of a fingernail.
A slight impact, but a violent roar.
And when Gu Shen pressed the button on the side of the mask.
All the noisy sounds from the outside world were blocked, and the sound of stone chips hitting the mask was no longer harsh and harsh, but became very ethereal, like a dream.
Although he was clearly in the midst of turbulence, his surroundings... suddenly became quiet.
Fortunately, you can still hear your companions' voices in the central control channel.
"All members, report the situation."
"Home team, Li Chen, everything is normal."
To be continued...
