Light Barrier

Chapter 499

Those who practice swordsmanship follow their own will.

So this guy...is he just an intuitive weirdo?

Gu Shen remained silent on every word Yuan Yuan said.

No response he could make at this moment was correct, so he simply didn't respond.

Yuan Yuan just smiled and did not say anything else. After all, his original intention was not to find out the secrets Gu Shen had hidden.

"Captain...what should we do next?"

Li Chen spoke in the command channel.

All members of the team stood on a high ground far away from the maze, watching the collapse of the snow-capped mountain canyon with complex expressions... In order to explore this maze, the Survey Corps spent more than ten years of "hard work" and paid a huge amount of money. cost.

I thought I had seen a ray of light.

But now, the snow-capped mountains have collapsed.

So, is this maze mission considered a success or a failure?

Yuan Yuan looked at the collapsed snow mountain and remained silent for a long time.

"From now on, there will be no more mazes..."

Su He, who had always been silent, spoke now. He turned around and said softly: "Let's go back. Gubao is still waiting for us."

Yuan Yuan's mood at this time was also quite complicated.

The reason why every soldier who joins the Survey Corps is willing to sacrifice their lives is because they are fighting for the future of mankind... No one wants to figure out the mystery of the maze more than him.

only.

Being able to come out alive is the greatest luck.

"Return."

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Old Su is right, we are still waiting for us at the Fort... Our mission is not over yet. We will return to the fortress, hand in the case file, and by the way... reveal the truth about the last mission. "

The already heavy team atmosphere became even gloomier.

At the end of the maze, they saw the corpse of Lao Yao and the corpses of a group of explorers.

If there hadn't been that knife mark on the source armor, then Hong Zhong would still be a hero, a heroic figure that every survey corps in Beizhou would remember in their hearts.

Today's Gubao may be holding a funeral for this "hero".

"The return journey should not be delayed."

Gu Shen suggested softly: "We need to give the victim the truth..."

In addition, there is one very important thing.

Hong Zhong is dead, but the "corrosive power" of Golden Spike Flower still remains in his spiritual sea. It is very likely that it has begun to spread at this moment.

Gu Shen didn't know what consequences the big snake's mental toxin would have.

But what he knows is that if he rushes back to the fortress as early as possible, he can greatly reduce the losses of the fortress!

"Um."

Yuan Yuan nodded slowly. He checked the remaining energy of the source armor and said solemnly: "All members, the mission of leaving the fortress has ended. Check the source energy, increase the combustion power... and advance towards the Dubao Fortress!"

...

...

"Adjutant, in the past few days... there seems to be something not right in the fortress cemetery."

Zou Hai has just finished arranging the relevant deployment of the giant wall combat units.

Two sentries came to report the matter.

Zou Hai frowned: "What could be wrong with the Fortress Cemetery?"

"The night before yesterday, when Lao Zhou and I were patrolling, we found a 'human figure' in the cemetery..." The sentry's voice was low and he had no confidence: "But after careful inspection, we found nothing special."

"At that time, I just thought I was dazzled." He gritted his teeth, "But last night when I was patrolling, the shadow in the cemetery appeared again! This time, it wasn't just me, Old Zhou also saw it!"

Zou Hai shook his head.

In the past few days, there has been an early warning of the incoming "tide of source matter" outside the giant wall.

The entire Gubao Fortress has entered a state of first-level combat readiness!

He was so busy that he had no time to care about such trivial matters... He originally wanted to ask the two sentries to retreat quickly, but suddenly a premonition flashed through his heart.

Zou Hai asked: "Where is the specific location of that shadow? Can you see it clearly?"

The expressions of the two sentinels became delighted.

I thought that if I reported this this time, I would be scolded by the adjutant...

Unexpectedly, adults also paid attention to this matter.

"I remember it very clearly, right next to the tombstone that was dug up not long ago."

Lao Zhou on the side added: "The returning hero of the maze mission, Hong Zhong."

"I understand... You will patrol as usual tonight. There is no need to go to the cemetery." Zou Hai thought thoughtfully and waved away the two sentries.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Homecoming hero..."

At this moment, the Gubao study room was rarely busy.

A thin blond young man in a vest was drinking tea in the study. He was sitting in the guest seat, but his feet were raised on the long table of the owner of the study.

Lin Lin looked calm and stared at this "uninvited guest".

He was not angry, but when the latter put down the tea cup, he slowly poured another cup for him.

The next group of explorers to set off will do their best to bring back the bodies of the "heroes". Their souls will float over Beizhou, staring at the young people they sheltered on this land, free and Grow up independently.

"Their bodies may decay."

“But the spirit lives on.”

Lin Lin suddenly chanted in a low voice. This was a famous saying by Her Majesty the Queen. During the last military parade at the border of the fortress, Her Majesty the Queen paid tribute to the heroes of the Survey Corps who died fighting for Beizhou.

He paused and said: "If Hong Zhong is really a hero, then Gubao will give you back everything you want... But so far, I can't admit the 'hero' title given to him in the Beizhou Forum. .”

Zhong Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Not long ago, Yuan Yuan, the deputy captain of the second team, arrived at Gubao Fortress... He had heard everything.

Because of the arrangement of the Legion Commander.

The second team deployed nearly half of its elite force to take charge of a new round of maze tasks.

After Yuan Yuan arrived, he had a direct conflict with Lin Lin over the "hero" issue!

"As for my vice-captain, I don't want to argue with you for the time being... But regarding Hong Zhong's title of 'hero'..." Zhong Yuan calmed down and said slowly: "If you want to erase his glory, Better give me a convincing reason.”

"I'm sorry, I did not."

Lin Lin shook his head.

He pointed to his head sincerely and said, "I just think something is wrong."

It's a hunch.

After knowing each other for many years, Lin Lin had nothing to hide. He mentioned to Zhong Yuan more than once that his premonitions were very sharp.

The color in the depths of those beautiful golden eyes has obviously darkened.

Zhong Yuan put down his legs on the table.

He sat upright and spoke again, slowly confirming: "So... you detained 'Hong Zhong' just because your hunch told you that you should do this."

Lin Lin nodded: "Yes."

"Is your hunch accurate?"

Zhong Yuan narrowed his eyes, picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and blew in the hot air.

Tea mist curls up.

I couldn't see clearly what kind of complex look was flashing in his golden eyes at this moment.

Lin Lin sighed again. He knew that this reason was really difficult to accept.

premonition.

The most elusive thing in the world is a premonition.

"Very accurate."

Lin Lin looked at his old friend seriously, "In all these years, I have never made a mistake."

silence.

After a short silence.

Zhong Yuan suddenly poured out the hot tea in his hand. He did it very quickly. The tea in the cup that was still blowing a moment ago now bloomed out like petals.

The moment before the hot tea is spilled.

Lin Lin, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, gently pushed the edge of the desk. The wheel hub of his seat rubbed against the ground and moved quickly to one side. The hot tea spilled out and rubbed against his moving and rotating seat. Spray out the window...

The two actions happened almost at the same time.

And after Lin Lin and the seat rotated once, what he saw was a freeze-frame picture that contained a chilling meaning——

Zhong Yuan, who was sitting upright, jumped onto the long table like a cheetah. He pulled out the dagger at his waist, and the tip of the dagger was right between Lin Lin's eyebrows after he had moved it.

"So...is your premonition really accurate? Besides throwing tea, did you also guess that I would use the knife?"

Zhong Yuan spoke calmly.

Lin Lin's expression remained unchanged.

"certainly."

He said calmly: "I avoided the tea just because I didn't want to dirty my clothes. I didn't avoid your knife because... you wouldn't really stab me. I know you too well. You are a hard-tongued guy with a soft heart." , the purpose of your trip to Gubao is just to use pressure to complete the task of bringing Hong Zhong back. You don’t really want to use force to solve the problem. Of course, if you really want to use a knife, you can give it a try... give it a try Try if I can avoid it at this distance."

Zhong Yuan fell silent.

He put away the dagger and silently sat back on his seat.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Lin felt a little guilty: "Zhong Yuan..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Yuan took action again.

There is also a cup of tea on the table, which is Lin Lin's own tea.

Lin Lin's pupils shrank slightly...

There was a "crash" sound.

Zhong Yuan grabbed the cup of tea as fast as lightning and threw it out.

This time.

Lin Lin, who was sitting on the seat, did not hide. He was soaked to the skin.

Zhong Yuan used this crisp, simple and crude way to interrupt what Lin Lin was about to say.

Then he walked out of the study without stopping at all.

Zou Hai, who was standing outside the study door, looked stunned.

He watched the captain of the second team, who was small but had an amazing aura, walk out of the study gloomily.

In the study room, sat the brigadier general with a complicated expression and a wet mind.
