Bulwark of Light

Chapter 513 Detoxification
"Captain... where are we going?"

Mo Hongyi rubbed his head.

The team members gradually came to their senses, the outside world was rendered silvery white by the artillery fire, bursts of roaring sounded beside their ears, exploding densely like drums... The wind pressure in the buffer zone also began to increase, the direction of the rescue team and the energy boat in the sky On the contrary, this is to rush back to Gubao Fortress.

"The storm is coming." Zhong Yuan said succinctly: "Go back and rest first."

The implication is that you don't want to participate in this battle...

Several team members looked at each other in blank dismay.

"During this time... you may be quarantined."

Pause slightly.

Zhong Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "A virus broke out in Gubao Fortress, and it is very likely that it was brought out from the [Maze]..."

Hearing this, Gu Shen's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough... the thing I was worried about still appeared.

Jin Suihua's "spiritual toxin" was brought back to the fortress by Hong Zhong.

However, fortunately, the "epidemic" did not spread beyond the fortress.

The pick-up plan of the second team must have failed. If Zhong Yuan picked up Hong Zhong's body, then he would not stay in Gubao.

"isolation?"

Yuan Yuan frowned, he touched himself subconsciously, the clothes were still intact, nothing unusual.

"It's a psychotoxin."

Zhong Yuan sighed softly, and told all about the past few days in the fortress.

Several people all fell into silence.

Hong Zhong, a returnee, returned to Gubao with "spiritual toxins"... So far, the scale of infection has caused more than [-] people, and this number is still increasing. The most important thing is that due to the outbreak of this virus, Gubao Now it is impossible to open the city gate to communicate with the outside world.

This news is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

And with the lessons learned from last time, this time Gubao became very cautious when welcoming a group of "returners" like Gu Shen.

The rescue team is "fully armed" and avoids physical contact and even eye contact as much as possible. At present, no one knows how this weird "mental toxin" spreads...

Next.

They will be sent to a quarantine area for observation.

Because of the "strange incident" encountered by Hong Zhong's team, it also happened to Gu Shen and the others... In the book of life and death, their spirits also fell into a state of "death" for a short time.

"Captain...we obey the arrangement."

After Yuan Yuan finished listening, he didn't resist. He seized the time and told the most important discovery in the maze mission.

The maze has collapsed and can no longer be explored.

The accidental death of Hong Zhong's team was not an "accident" in the true sense.

The so-called "homecoming hero" is even more nonsense. He not only brought back "spiritual toxins", but also killed his teammates with his own hands...

As for the oasis...

It can be completely determined as "fake news".

This exploration, although all the staff returned safe and sound, can be called a "big success", but the "investigation results" brought back are chilling, even desperate.

Zhong Yuan lowered his eyes after listening, unable to say anything...

He's still digesting the news.

As the captain, he was extremely proud of the training atmosphere in the second team and the quality of the players. Every time he went out of the fortress, he could complete high-quality tasks. These guys are all comrades who can rely on their backs...

But what happened to Hong Zhong was like a sharp long knife, piercing his heart.

People have died, and there is no way to find out the real reason why these things happened. It may be caused by the spread of "spiritual toxins", or there may be other hidden reasons, but these are not important anymore. Hong Zhong who discovered the "oasis" is completely a fraud.

For everyone in the second team, it was a big blow.

……

……

Gu Shen and his party were taken to the isolation area.

This is a barren open space near the cemetery. The entire isolated area is not large, and it can accommodate about a thousand people. The quarantine is roughly divided into two major areas: "confirmed cases" and "suspected cases".

Gu Shen and the others were taken to the "Suspected Infected Area".

The source quality tide strikes.

At this juncture, Gubao really couldn't spare more manpower to deal with this "spiritual poison".

One tent for each person.

The drones in the fortress shuttle back and forth in the air, and they are responsible for providing people with food, water, and some simple services.

Inside Gubao's local area network, the isolated area has established a signal link with the giant wall, and every isolated person can receive the latest information.

I can tell.

Once you enter the isolation area...it will be very difficult to get out. The measures taken by Gubao are similar to "gecko tail docking". After the battle is over and the treatment is unified, "rescue teams" wearing full protective suits can be seen everywhere in the isolation area. They are superhumans who have awakened healing abilities, and they also have spiritual abilities. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do about this toxin.

"Brother Gu...it seems that we can only stay here until the 'war' is over."

Li Chen and Gu Shen walked together, looking at the tents in the suspected infected area in front of him, with a sad expression.

No matter how hard he tries, his [Pupil of the Source] can only open a line at the moment... This time the task of going out of the fortress has consumed a lot of mental power, even if he is allowed to continue to participate in the battle at this moment, he has no strength to use his ability anymore .

After walking a few hundred meters along the way, these guys in the suspected infected area just looked unattractive and a little haggard, but there seemed to be nothing abnormal in their "spirituality", at least they didn't feel anything weird.

Hmm... This so-called psychotoxin shouldn't be that scary, right?

Li Chen comforted himself that during this time, he happened to be recuperating here.

"Brother Gu?"

Li Chen noticed that Gu Shen suddenly stopped moving.

Gu Shen stopped in front of the tent.

He silently looked at the "suspected infected people" who walked past him one by one... If he used his mental senses, he would find that most of the people here did not show any abnormalities, but their complexions were slightly pale That's all.

but……

If you use "blazing" induction.

Then it is completely different.

Gu Shen saw the picture in the [Maze]... Wisps of soul fire floated out from their heads, that was the mark infected with "Golden Spike Toxin". The dozens of people he saw along the way Suspected infected persons, without exception, but their spirit has not been destroyed by the toxin.

above the pure land.

A wisp of fire flickered.

Gu Shen felt the "evil power" of Pluto, and he could ignite these "toxins" with just one thought, and the souls of each infected person could be "extracted" at any time.

"Golden spikes."

Gu Shen used his spiritual power to touch the underworld fire and established a spiritual link.

The link this time was very fast, and the interaction was completed in an instant, followed by a cautious voice from [Old World].

"Master... have you arrived safely?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Shen was slightly relieved.

Gold Spike is fine.

You must know that the [Old World] at this moment is in a state of turmoil and turmoil.

However, the big snake's survivability is extremely strong, as long as it is not caught in the storm and survives, it is not a big problem.

Fortunately, Gu Shen gave an order in advance to forcibly expel them, otherwise this stupid guy would really use his body to resist the final tornado.

This time I got a response, which is also an important message.

The spiritual communication in the "Underworld Fire" really achieves the leaping of super-long space distances.

Through the umbrella defense line and a fortress, he can still establish a link with Jin Suihua, so even if he goes a little further south... the link should not fail.

Gu Shen used his mental power to transmit the picture he saw... back.

Infected one by one.

And strands of souls that can be "extracted" into the Pure Land.

"Look what you've done."

After confirming that the big guy was fine, Gu Shen's tone became severe.

Big Snake said aggrievedly: "King, I have remembered your instructions, and there will be no next time."

"How to remove these 'toxins'?"

Gu Shen spoke coldly.

"These toxins will not be fatal immediately, and those with stronger mental strength can resist them, and there is no problem in dissolving them on their own." The big snake said slowly: "I thought that you would need to rebuild the 'Pure Land' one day, just relying on the souls in the snow mountain, It is not enough, so the toxin will continue to spread, and every time it spreads, it will weaken three points."

Under the "blazing vision", Gu Shen looked around——

Souls infected by "Golden Spikes" are floating in the entire quarantine area.

Hundreds of them.

This "spiritual toxin" is not as serious as Gu Shen imagined... There are no dead yet.

According to Jin Suihua, the more the virus spreads, the weaker its lethality is. Of course, no matter how weakened it is, it is also a powerful corrosive force that elementary-level transcendents cannot resist, because mental toxins are difficult to truly annihilate. Once it causes " death", it will look for the next "host".

Continuously spread to find the "soul" for the pure land.

"If you want to get rid of the toxins...you just need to touch with the 'Devil Fire', or call out your Underworld Fire to attract them." Jin Suihua said devoutly: "I will always follow you, and so will my spirit. "

In fact, when it used the toxin, it never thought of dispelling it.

According to the will instilled by the previous Pluto, this is indeed the case... If it is the previous crazy Pluto who returned to the [Labyrinth], I am afraid that there are not enough souls in the Pure Land at this moment.

Gu Shen sighed softly, releasing the "Underworld Fire" is impossible, it will cause great trouble, and it will also lead to the exposure of the power of the fire.

The current solution should be to contact them one by one.

If you really want to detoxify, it's not a trouble.

It's just that this mental toxin has swept across the entire Gubao, and no one has a countermeasure so far. How should I explain this "weird" power to the Beizhou military?
