The age of great voyages

Chapter 182 The Benefits of Entering the Fortress of Faith

"I'm going to kill that source of infection!"

Lin Chen said something to Lero, took a step and appeared in mid-air outside the sentry wall, and saw the source of infection disappear in a flash, and appeared in front of him in the next second, hitting Lin Chen's face with a punch, The circle of air exploded, and the bridge of his nose didn't even collapse.

The source of the infection was taken aback, and disappeared again in a flash, reappearing to the top of his head, and his scaly right claw quickly fused into a sharp cone and pierced the center of the Baihui above his head. Splashing, Lin Chen raised his head with a smile and looked at the source of infection with a shocked expression. His pupils lit up, and the source of infection was not in a good mood. He pulled back and felt a dazzling cold sword light sweeping across his eyes. The fan-shaped sword curtain unfolded, turning into a curtain of sword energy over [-] meters high and exploded into the sky, which lasted for a long time.

This is not some exquisite swordsmanship, it's just that he spurred his incomparably strong mana to slash out with a sword, but the speed is a little faster.

The figure retreated tens of meters away, and the foreign race looked at the huge sword curtain hundreds of meters high above Lin Chen's head in shock, and saw his cold gaze sweeping over him, turned around without saying a word. The flash disappeared, and it was already a hundred meters away when it reappeared, and it disappeared after a few flashes.

"Run so fast!"

Lin Chen was a little speechless. He had just warmed up and was scared away. He hadn't seen clearly the power system of the alien race where the source of infection was. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have used such force.

I haven't seen the other abilities of this source of infection yet, but one thing is certain, their speed is very fast, and the one that flashes for tens of meters doesn't seem to be a movement technique, it seems to be a talent or a spell, although it is not a direct space flash , but the speed is very fast, even with his current strength, he can barely keep up with the flickering trajectory. If the other party runs away wholeheartedly, it may be difficult for him to catch up in this empty wasteland.

Even if everyone ran away, he couldn't chase him down. Standing in midair, he slashed down with his sword casually. A 30-meter-long dazzling sword qi slashed down across the sky. Most of the infected people under the sentry wall were killed by his sword. Yu Li went deep into the ground and cut a deep ravine.

After a few strikes to kill the infected, a team of soldiers from the fortress rushed over. The leader was a strong man over two meters tall. His name was Second Lieutenant Li Qianjun. He had an oriental face, and he saw Lin Chen from a long distance away. The Sky Cracking Sword thanked him with a very serious expression and invited him into the city.

Lin Chen did not refuse, and returned to the fortress with him. The battlefield was cleaned by the guards at the outpost. As for the remaining civilians, someone would naturally check them strictly again.

Entering the side gate of the fortress, he felt at least more than ten waves sweep past him as he passed through the long corridor. After passing through the thick fortress wall and entering the city, he obviously found that Second Lieutenant Li Qianjun's attitude was even closer. Apparently he had passed all the Testing determined it was a human and not a mutated organism or infected person.

Entering the fortress, Second Lieutenant Li Qianjun asked his subordinates to return to the team on their own, and he took the initiative to act as a guide and lead Lin Chen to wander around the city, with temptation and solicitation in his words.

Lin Chen knew it well, obviously they had taken a fancy to his own strength, and in this chaotic world, it was completely normal for various forces to recruit powerless and powerful people, he understood very well.

But he didn't agree, he didn't want to get involved in the various intrigues of the aborigines, so he told them euphemistically that he would not join any forces, but just settling here and leaving in a few months.

Li Qianjun felt a little regretful, but his attitude didn't deteriorate because of this, and he enthusiastically helped him get a temporary residence certificate and a temporary residence.

Reality is not a novel, and there are not so many forced actions because of rejection by others. Normal and formal forces will try to become friends even if they cannot be their own people. resentment.

What's more, Lin Chen has already demonstrated his great strength. For this kind of master, normal people try to make friends as much as possible, even if they can't use it, they won't make enemies casually.

What Li Qianjun arranged for him was a real estate belonging to his faction, specially for friends of their legion to live temporarily, surrounded by soldiers guarding, so that no one else could come in, and many messy problems could be avoided.

Lin Chen was quite satisfied. It would actually be pretty good if he stayed like this for three months. For this reason, he wouldn't mind doing a small favor if he could do anything within these three months.

This is a small three-story building located on the edge of the core area of ​​the fortress. The terrain is very high. It is estimated that it was built on a hillside. It also has a small courtyard. Standing in the small courtyard, you can see the huge rear of the fortress.

This fortress is built between a large canyon. The mouth of the fortress is about four to five kilometers wide. On one side is an endless wasteland, and on the other side the terrain in the canyon declines and extends down a large slope. The entire fortress is built in this grand canyon. According to Second Lieutenant Li Qianjun, passing through this grand canyon is a huge mountain basin, which is one of the largest human settlements in the world, City of Hope, dominated by oriental humans, with a total population of over ten million. A huge fortress like Flame City guards the other two huge gaps outside the basin, keeping mutant creatures, infected people and Outer God believers out of the basin.

This is the last place of hope for mankind, and it is also the only spark of civilization in the entire world. Once these giant settlements are breached, the world will be completely destroyed.

"What a wonderful world!"

Putting down the history book in his hand, Lin Chen pinched his eyebrows and looked at the buildings extending inward from the outside of the balcony. A few kilometers away from him, he saw several towering lightning spiers, circles of colors. Different lightning rings surround the tower, and lightning balls exuding terrifying energy fluctuations rotate around the tower. At the top of the tower is a huge lightning ball, and a dazzling electric light flies out of the lightning ball at the top of the tower. The sky penetrated deep into the thick clouds, dyeing the large black clouds above white.

This is also the Lightning Spire, but it does not belong to the fortress, but belongs to the power of the world's three major orthodox churches, namely the God of War, the God of Light, and the God of Life. There are only three local gods left in this world, and the other gods are outsiders. The invasion and the rise of the evil gods fell one after another.

Righteous God, Evil God, Outer God.

The righteous gods are the local gods of this world, the outer gods are the strong ones above the sixth level in the outer world, and the evil gods refer to corrupted evil beings. These evil beings are not inferior to the gods in strength, but have chaotic and evil natures, so they are called evil gods. .

Of course, this is the view of people in this world. In Lin Chen's eyes, the so-called righteous gods are the strong aborigines, the outer gods are the predators of other worlds in the void, and the evil gods are the terrifying and evil creatures in the local area. The above will also be called external gods.

In addition, there is also Nightmare, which is not well-known, but Lin Chen knows that there are extremely powerful existences. Some high-level nightmare lords are not inferior to these gods in strength, and they are even more threatening to ordinary people, because they are invisible and invisible. It is extremely terrifying to directly devour the soul of the target from invading ordinary people's dreams.

If it is said that other mutated organisms infected people can be detected by various means, it is really difficult to find the existence of Nightmare, even Lin Chen may not be aware of it if he does not show up.

Fortunately, the number of nightmares is very small, and most of them act together with the nightmare lord as the center. There are very few nightmare creatures that act alone.

"Shu Yigou, tomorrow will be better!"

Lin Chen rubbed his chin and closed the window to sleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, the window was still dark and dim, no different from last night. There were lightning spiers blooming in the fortress. The fortress was equally bright no matter day or night. Many people worked and rested day and night. Sleep out at night.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Chen washed his face casually and opened the door, and saw Second Lieutenant Li Qianjun in casual clothes, and behind him stood two women in uniforms of the fortress army. The tight uniforms outlined exquisite curves, which looked very seductive.

He was wondering, Li Qianjun pointed to the two women and said:

"Lieutenant General Li Chengqian, commander of the Third Army, knows that Mr. Lin may have inconveniences living alone. During this period, they will take care of the trivial matters in your life."

Lin Chen glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, then nodded briskly and said:
"Then I'm welcome."

He can't refuse this kind of wooing, because if he refuses today, other legions from other Flame City Fortresses will come to visit immediately. This situation cannot be avoided at all, unless he leaves Flame Fortress now, so it will be troublesome to accept the favor of one of the forces It is very necessary, anyway, eat all kinds of sugar-coated cannonballs first, and when the time comes, you can return without worrying about anything.

Seeing his acceptance, Li Qianjun was very happy, and got a lot closer at once, saying:
"You may not know that although the Flame Fortress is a fortress, it is also very famous in the commercial area behind. Today I will take you to have a good time."

Lin Chen happened to have this idea, so he followed suit.

He casually changed into casual clothes and went downstairs. There was already a steam car parked at the door, and he looked at it curiously.

This steam car is very similar to a jeep, with thick anti-collision strips on the outside, a reinforced front, and no air vents at the rear of the car. Instead, it is a huge metal box with a thick steam chimney standing on the back. When the car is opened, Steam starts boiling and blows out, which looks interesting.

The driver was not Li Qianjun, but one of the two women he had brought with him, and the other was cleaning the house for him.

The car came out of the gate of the community guarded by soldiers, turned into the central road of the canyon and drove to the back of the fortress. Although it was early in the morning, there were many lightning spires lighting up, and there was no obvious division of day and night, and there were still many pedestrians on the street.

Along the way, Lin Chen discovered that the races in the fortress are very complex, not only humans and orcs, but also other races, such as dwarves, halflings, gnomes and other common alien races in fantasy worlds, as well as lizard people, crocodile people, etc. Under the threat of mutant monsters, polluters, alien nightmares and other enemies, the fierce races gathered together to resist the invasion of evil.

In addition, humans are also divided into white people with blond hair and blue eyes, and oriental people like Lin Chen. Li Qianjun and the two women are both oriental people.

Of course there are other races, all kinds of half-orcs, half-dwarves and other mixed races.

The huge crisis has accelerated the integration of races. Different races live together all year round, and many of them have unified their living habits. In particular, some races with too few civilizations have been assimilated by humans for hundreds of years.

On the road, he saw orcs and humans drinking together shoulder to shoulder more than once, and they looked as familiar as the same kind.

"That's the Temple of the God of War!"

Li Qianjun pointed to the huge lightning tower standing in a huge square not far away and introduced to Lin Chen:

"Three great gods protect the world. I believe in the God of War. I wonder which one does Mr. Lin Chen believe in?"

Lin Chen rubbed his chin and looked at the sky-reaching lightning tower. It was made of rock and metal, covered with strange runes formed by golden lightning around the tower. It feels, vaguely, that the spire seems to be connected to an extremely powerful will, and it should be the God of War without accident.

He didn't dare to look carefully, afraid of being discovered by that powerful will, he was just passing by and didn't dare to attract the attention of these powerful beings.

He didn't respond to Li Qianjun's question, but no response is the best response, he doesn't believe anyone, and Li Qianjun also understands this, so he didn't pursue it.

This world is different from other fantasy worlds, and there is no such thing as forced belief, but basically everyone has gods to believe in, so as to pin their spirits, so that they will not be so easily alienated by nightmares or infected people.

Believe in gods. When the level of belief reaches a certain level, the soul will be sheltered by the gods. When facing nightmares and the alienation power of the infected, the soul resistance is stronger than ordinary people.

Therefore, warriors like Li Qianjun who often fight mutant monsters and infected people will basically believe in the God of War to strengthen their souls.

The car quickly crossed the area of ​​the three major temples and entered a much more prosperous area. Under Li Qianjun's command, the car circled into this area, turned left and right for a while, and came to a huge stone building. They stopped at the side of the road casually, and the two got out of the car. Li Qianjun asked the lady who was driving to go back first, and gave Lin Chen a look you know, and said:
"I'll take you to a good place today, and outsiders don't even know it when they first come here."

Lin Chen was speechless, how could he not understand such meaningful eyes, and he was right, shrugging his shoulders to signal him to lead the way.

Li Qianjun took him to the back of the building. There were more than a dozen back doors in a row. He directly found the second-to-last door on the far left and knocked on it. The three long and two short were like a code. When the door opened, a tauren with a scar on his face appeared. He obviously knew him. Li Qianjun gave each of them a sign and waved his hand to signal them to go in.
