Light Barrier

Chapter 485

The head of the Gubao Fortress.

Lin Lin, wearing a general's robe, stood side by side with Zou Hai, with the garrison behind them.

The night in Beizhou is very clear, with the bright stars intertwined with the biting wind and snow. Above the night is the high-suspended 【Energy Boat】, like a giant whale, slowly rotating, opening the cabin mouth.

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes.

He had already listened to Zou Hai's explanation and knew the causes and consequences of this "mysterious guest"'s arrival in Gubao.

It's indeed different from what I imagined.

"He is not the person arranged by Grand Duke Zhuxue."

Adjutant Zou smiled and said, "I heard he is a young hero from Nagano Castle."

"The young hero of Nagano Castle..."

Lin Lin's expression did not change. In fact, he had heard about the drastic changes in Dongzhou, but the guards of Beizhou Fortress did not pay attention to these things. For them, the most important thing was what happened outside the giant wall of the fortress. Changes in source matter, and the speed of black hole derivation.

Even the task of cooperating with the Survey Corps to expand northward was only a secondary important event.

Outside Beizhou, there are no major events.

It was only because of the death of a god... that the news reached his ears.

As for this so-called "young hero".

He doesn't care.

"Set up the energy cannon."

Lin Lin slowly raised a hand and said calmly: "Give our guests a greeting gift."

"...?"

The smile on Adjutant Zou's face froze a little.

With this order.

A source energy cannon arrayed on top of the city slowly glowed.

"Azha'er——"

Lin Lin's voice was condensed into a long line, rising upwards like fireworks, and slowly exploded when it reached the source energy boat.

The calm and indifferent voice could be clearly heard in the energy boat.

"I hope you can give this friend who is going north a sincere suggestion. Go back to where you came from. Stay as far away from Gubao as possible. This is not the place he should stay."

...

...

Although this voice sounded somewhat indifferent.

But... it's very loud.

This sentence sounded like he was asking Azhaer to deliver a message, but in fact, it was meant for everyone in the cabin to hear.

So Gu Shen also heard it, and heard it very clearly.

He looked at the giant wall standing half-covered in the wind and snow, and the fortress surrounded by the giant wall... There was awe and emotion in his eyes. For six hundred years, the people of Beizhou have behaved with a stubborn and... A tough attitude guards the high ground of 【New World】.

The most important "arch point" of the front wing defense line is the Gubao Fortress.

This is a lonely and dangerous fortress, like the tip of a sword thrust out, or like a whip thrown from the cliff.

If one day, the giant wall is unable to resist the "source matter", then this fortress will be the first to collapse.

now.

The head of the fortress, hidden in the snow and darkness, lit up circles of light.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes...

The bright lights one after another are a bit dazzling in the heavy snow, but... very beautiful.

He admired the neat array of "big lights" on the ground and asked softly: "Is that the legendary source energy cannon?"

A world-famous killer.

"......yes."

Azha'er's voice was a little complicated.

She tried to explain: "The person in charge of Gubao Fortress, Lin Lin... is the youngest brigadier general in Beizhou. His personality is quite... well, unique."

Beizhou's archives are very unique.

Chu Ling's current 【Source Code] authority has been suppressed by the [Deep Sea】 main system. Regarding Beizhou's files, what can be known is very limited. Every fortress in Beizhou's main wing is extremely important, so the commander responsible for the garrison They must all be "famous generals".

Among them, the three most famous generals, and the most well-known generals in Beizhou in contemporary times, are respectively named: Rusty Bone, White Lizard, and Silver Fox.

The strength of the three generals far exceeds the "title" in the general sense.

and.

They did not rely on the power of the "God Throne".

Gu Shen's expression remained normal. He gently read the name "Lin Lin". This guy's last name was unusual in Beizhou.

Her Majesty the Queen is also named Lin.

It's just that... this young man doesn't look like a direct descendant of the Lin family. If he really has royal blood flowing through him, he should be stationed in the Central City and not here, right?

"Set up the energy cannon and welcome the guests... Is this a unique welcome ceremony in Beizhou? It's quite special."

Gu Shen smiled and leaned against the window, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Azhaer's expression was a little ugly.

It was difficult for her to explain to Gu Shen... Today's situation was a bit special.

In fact, this scene would not appear in other fortresses.

As the 【Apostle】 of Her Majesty the Queen, Azhaer worships everyone wherever she goes...because she is the embodiment of the Queen's will!

But Brigadier General Lin Lin was different.

"He shouldn't be able to fire..."

Azhaer thought for a while and said seriously: "Just wait a moment, and I'll ask him to remove the source energy cannon."

"No."

Gu Shen said softly: "Three hundred meters above the ground... that's about it."

He stood up and stretched his muscles. The red outer armor he had replaced made a slight crackling sound.

"I just want to try the rumored Yuan Jia."

Gu Shen stood at the end of the cabin, facing the sky. At the last moment, he looked back at Azhaer and smiled slightly as a greeting: "I'm going down first...see you later."

...

...

In front of him was the roaring wind.

Leap.

The sound of the strong wind rushing towards my face was extinguished instead.

The night sky of the 300-meter-high Gubao was actually very quiet. The moment the Source Armor clicked together, a transparent mask was placed in front of Gu Shen, and his whole person instantly became light... The Source Energy Core was driven in the night sky, bursting out red. colored flames.

Although she and Gu Shen did not establish a spiritual connection at this moment, their hearts were firmly united.

She could feel Gu Shen's emotions.

at that moment.

It's extremely quiet.

"In the data I can collect... I haven't seen a similar welcome ceremony for the Beizhou active energy cannon bombardment." Chu Ling said seriously.

Gu Shen smiled: "Of course..."

This girl, who has most of the information on the five continents, is sometimes extremely smart, and sometimes she seems like a little fool.

Chu Ling's eyes were a little confused.

"Gubao Fortress is the most important garrison point of Beizhou's main wing. Those who can enter this fortress are real warriors with iron-blooded steel bones, strict discipline and strong strength." Gu Shen said calmly: "This is why Beizhou is not welcome. The reason for other pared to the life and death experience between the giant walls of the fortress, the so-called gladiatorial training in Nagano Castle is simply a greenhouse. And the 'transcendents' who come north from other continents are naturally the flowers in the greenhouse."

Chu Ling vaguely understood.

"So...you just deliberately chose the worst route..."

"Um."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Beizhou has a unique law of survival. These guys will not respect me because of my status as a 'distinguished guest'. On the one hand, showing strength can reduce unnecessary troubles." . On the other hand, the appearance of those energy cannonballs when they split apart is really beautiful, isn’t it?”

"But they are really dangerous..." Chu Ling murmured.

“It’s because of the danger that it’s beautiful.”

Gu Shen said softly: "Many things in this world are like this, it is inevitable... However, I hope that after this 'fireworks show', the trip to Beizhou will be easier."

"Mr. Xiao Gu!"

A soft voice suddenly sounded beside him.

When he looked up, he saw a tall figure.

Zou Hai, this man who holds the position of adjutant of Gubao Fortress and has a rough appearance like a beast, has a very delicate voice.

Gu Shen is still not used to it.

His height is not short, but it only reaches Zou Hai's chest.

This man is really tall...almost as tall as "A-009".

"We have arranged a room for you, please come with me." Adjutant Zou said softly: "The environment in the fortress is rather harsh, please forgive me."

Gu Shen smiled and shook his head.

He and Zou Hai walked forward together, walking in the Gubao Fortress.

In the distance is a huge wall standing tall.

The reason why Beizhou can resist the "collapse of order" is because the humans who arrived here six hundred years ago found "strong logic materials" and used them to build giant walls. These giant walls can absorb order extremely effectively. The power of collapse. Because the power of collapse in the 【Old World】 continues to spread, "collapse tides" will arrive every once in a while. Without these giant walls, this force may have invaded the northern continent.

Six hundred years...enough to destroy half of the continent.

In fact, the result of the 【Deep Sea】 calculation is far more serious than destroying half of the continent.

In the face of the "collapse of order", the five continents are a community of destiny. Once the North Continent cannot resist, the power of the "collapse tide" will become stronger and stronger. After the North Continent is broken, several other continents will fall. , it’s just a matter of time.

In other words.

Behind the giant wall is the last home of mankind!

"Kunbao is known as the 'throat of human destiny'."

Zou Hai noticed Gu Shen's gaze. He deliberately slowed down his pace and walked under the huge wall with this northbound guest from Dongzhou. The moonlit night was quiet, and the wind and snow rarely slowed down.

"On the front wing of Beizhou Fortress, Gubao is the most prominent 'arch point', and it is also the point that resists the greatest pressure when the 'collapse tide' comes... The elite of the Survey Corps often avoid it when choosing a starting point. Gubao, because outside the huge walls of this fortress, there is really an extremely difficult and harsh environment.”

Zou Hai's voice was very gentle.

Gu Shen listened quietly... He had already read the information about Beizhou Fortress. Gubao Fortress was indeed the most important garrison point, and the title of "the throat of mankind" was not an exaggeration.

"The Brigadier General has been stationed in this fortress for ten years." At this point, Adjutant Zou smiled uncontrollably on his face.

"ten years?"

Gu Shen looked a little surprised.

I just met Lin Lin... The appearance of the garrison of Gubao was very young, and he looked like he was not much older than himself.

"When he was eighteen years old, Master Lin Lin came to Gubao."

Zou Hai said softly: "A three-year term, another three years, another three years... This year is the tenth year. Of course, Master Lin Lin was not a fortress garrison at the beginning. He worked his way up step by step. The Survey Corps The first explorer of the 'Maze Mission', which ranks among the top three in importance, is Mr. Lin Lin. So far, the planning authority for this mission is still in the hands of the Brigadier General. The survey corps that goes out to explore must listen to and respect your advice. Opinion."

Gu Shen was thoughtful.

The maze mission refers to the "Snow Mountain Canyon" north of the Gubao Fortress.

This time, the "Maze Thirty-Eight" mission carried out by the elite team of the Second Team of the Survey Corps is one of a series of missions... The number thirty-eight means that all the first thirty-seven routes of this mission have failed.

Each route exploration may need to be planned into several or dozens of phases.

"I believe you should understand... the general situation of this maze mission." Zou Hai said sincerely: "The survivor... Elite Captain Hong Zhong, his current mental condition is not stable. We will conduct an investigation on him tomorrow." Psychiatric appraisal'."

"Psychiatric evaluation?"

Gu Shen frowned and asked, "Isn't this something that should have been done long ago..."

Adjutant Zou sighed lightly.

"His mental state was so bad that he was in a coma for three days, so it was delayed until today."

Zou Hai said softly: "Actually, Mr. Lin Lin is not as indifferent as he appears. Your arrival in Gubao is a good thing for us and the Survey Corps."

The evidence that Hong Zhong took out, the lost sawdust, was judged by 【Deep Sea】 to be that it might have come from Zhou Jiren's cane.

This is the reason why Beizhou Military invited Gu Shen.

"If possible, I hope you can participate in this 'mental appraisal' tomorrow and assist us in our evaluation."

Zou Hai said sincerely: "Perhaps... we can find different clues."

At this point, he stopped.

In front of you is an old small attic.

It is not easy to find such an independent residence in Gubao Fortress.

"Generally... this is a special residence for guests from Central City."

Zou Hai opened the door for Gu Shen, and a smell of rotten wood came over the floor. He smiled bitterly and said: "But in recent years, the guests who have come from Central City have not stayed here for a long time... This attic has already I’m in the best place I can find.”

"it does not matter."

Gu Shen smiled. He didn't care about the environment of his residence.

He himself was not a person who was greedy for pleasure. In the past year, even though Gu Shen had a spacious and comfortable yard in Nagano, he spent most of his time practicing on the tops of Mount Jinci and Qingzhong.

In terms of living environment alone, the environment in Shenci Mountain and Qingzhong is not much better than here.

Rest here tonight.

Use the breathing method to fight against the golden hoop, and you will be able to get through it quickly.

When Zou Hai closed the door, he suddenly paused.

"correct......"

The adjutant looked solemn and said slowly: "Mr. Xiao Gu, there is something I must make clear to you."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Adjutant Zou said with a complicated expression: "Because this attic is not far from Mr. Lin Lin's attic. At night... you may hear some strange noises outside the door, but please do not open the door no matter what."
