Chapter 430 Situation
The next day, as the sky gradually brightened, Chen Chuan opened his eyes from deep meditation.
He felt that the effect of taking special medicine to practice in the fusion area seemed to be better than in the central city.
But it also seems to involve taking more risks.
He looked at the second me, and the signs of emptiness were very obvious and lingering. It seemed that this invasion would last for a long time, and it was unknown how long it would take to disappear.
He needs to be more cautious when taking medicine and practicing here, and not as frequently as in the central city. After all, he still needs to take on combat missions.
He got up and washed up, and was about to go outside to exercise when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside, as if something had happened.
After he noticed it, he changed into the uniform issued yesterday, walked out of the dormitory, and came to the open space in the middle of the fortress. He saw that the gate of the garrison was open and a team of garrison soldiers were trotting out, but no vehicles were mobilized.
He knew at a glance that there must be something wrong in the area recently, so he walked out of the gate under the salute of the sentries on both sides. Once he was outside, he immediately found the abnormality without having to look for it.
On the thick white snow ahead, not far from the railway tracks, there was a series of huge footprints, each about two or three meters long, deeply embedded in the ground, revealing the dark mud underneath.
Judging from the footprints alone, it looked like some large quadruped creature, coming from the other end of the track and extending as far as the eye could see. The closest point was only twenty or thirty meters away from the fortress wall, almost sticking to it.
There were several technicians and officers standing next to the footprints and discussing something, and there were several soldiers around them. Although they spoke in a low voice, their voices were still clearly heard by Chen Chuan.
"Looks like it's a big one?"
"Not necessarily. In the fusion zone, what you haven't seen doesn't count, and what you see can't be taken seriously either. So the footprints may just be footprints, not necessarily something real."
The officer called over a member of the guard who was on duty yesterday and asked, "Did anyone make any noise last night?"
The soldier saluted and said, "Sir, everything was normal last night. I didn't hear anything. I found this trace while I was out on patrol this morning."
The officer seemed accustomed to this and casually ordered, "Record it and put it in the files."
Chen Chuan looked at the footprints for a while and then turned back.
Because how to control the activity index is the most important thing at the moment, I applied directly during the procedure yesterday and set the time at 8 o'clock in the morning.
He went back to eat something, met up with two teammates, and then came to the training room. The teacher responsible for teaching breathing techniques was already there in advance.
This one’s surname is Zhai, and he is also a third-level fighter. His identity is the fighting guard and instructor in the base.
After the three people arrived, he spoke briefly and then began to explain the main points.
Basic things like breathing techniques were almost no difficulty for Chen Chuan and the other two. After listening to it once, they mastered it easily. The next step was to practice diligently.
Yuan Qiyuan's attitude towards this teacher was completely different from his attitude towards Tian Yu. He showed great respect. After mastering the breathing method, he stood up and asked, "Instructor Zhai, in order to resist the invasion of activation, besides breathing methods and medication, are there any other ways to avoid it?"
Instructor Zhai said: "Yes, transplant implants can effectively avoid this kind of thing. Because the activity of imitation implants is not high and it is difficult to be activated, they are widely used. Ordinary soldiers stationed here will use combat implants.
Fighters also have corresponding combat implants. If you need them, we can arrange them. However, it takes a long time to match the third-level implants, and they also require the use of your own alienated tissue, so even if you submit an application, you will have to wait for a while."
Yuan Qiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't need it. I only trust my fists and weapons."
Instructor Zhai said: "It is right to stick to your original intention, but we are combatants. What will happen in the future is not determined by your own will, but by your enemy.
I have served here for more than twelve years. I have seen people whose limbs or internal organs are overactive and have to be replaced with implants. More people have lost some parts in battle. They also went from not accepting it at the beginning to accepting it. Now many of them are still active on the front line and have become the backbone of the team.
In the frontier areas, theirs has become the mainstream.
For example, I am the same..."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a muscular arm.
It can be seen that the lower part of his elbow has been replaced with an implant, and it looks no different from the original one because it is covered by the skin that has grown out of him.
But if you look closely, you can see some differences.
"This implant is adapted to my alienated tissue. It feels pretty much the same as before and won't hinder my combat. On the contrary, it will enhance certain areas of my body.
As an instructor, I'm giving you a piece of advice: don't reject things that can save your life, even if they don't seem so good at the moment. Saving your life is better than anything else. Times are changing, and you never know when you'll be able to recover from your regrets."
Yuan Qiyuan curled his lips. Although he respected the instructor, he still declined such things. He had higher aspirations. After installing this, whether he could make progress or not would all depend on his skills.
After the breathing method course here ended, the three of them went to the screening room to continue the class, and this time they mainly explained the environment of the fusion area.
They are at the near end of the fusion area, still far away from the world ring that everyone knows. This is also the place where this world has been conquered, developed and controlled most deeply by various countries, and is considered the rear.
But this is not really safe, because the intersection is too vast, and they can only control the area where the railway extends and a part of the periphery of the military base.
Yuan Qiyuan raised his hand, and after receiving Tian Yu's permission to speak, he said, "I said I came here to protect the World Ring, but judging by the way it looks, it should be quite far away from us, right? Is it still our turn to go there?"
Tian Yu said: "In terms of conventional distance, it is indeed very far, but the World Ring is not just a simple existence in reality, because the world on the other side is more inclined to invade on the spiritual level, so it is actually a field isolation zone built by the creatures of various fields in the central city.
The three executors should know that the central city is located at the forefront of the collision between the two worlds, the breach between the two worlds, and the anchor point of the other world. Therefore, when the fields of these resistance anchor points are gathered together, all channels for intrusion into our world will be strictly blocked.
As she spoke, she pointed with her pointer, and all the central cities in the world appeared on the projector. Above the central city, there was a huge light representing the field.
“…When these are connected together, this is it.”
Chen Chuan looked and saw that all the lights in the central city were connected to one place, like a swaying nebula light belt, swirling back and forth together.
"Because when all the central cities are connected, they appear in the material world as a huge ring, which is the origin of the World Ring.
However, the field's presentation on a spiritual level is likely to be quite different, and when the two defenses of reality and spirit are combined, they are collectively referred to as the 'circular curtain.'"
At this point, she said seriously, "Because the biofield tends to be spiritual, certain unique fighters and powerful resonators, with the help of certain special conditions, have a certain possibility of their spirits penetrating this barrier and approaching or reaching the other side.
So the World Ring may be far away, but it is actually right next to you."
"What are those on the other side of the World Ring?"
Yuan Qiyuan asked curiously from below.
"Executive Yuan Qiyuan, please raise your hand if you have any questions."
Yuan Qiyuan immediately raised his hand and asked again impatiently, "Instructor Tian, what's that on the other side?"
Tian Yu said, "This is confidential. Disclosure is strictly prohibited. The government and major companies also strictly prohibit anyone from secretly crossing the World Ring, as such an action would damage the World Ring itself."
She raised her voice with a stern face, and warned seriously, "Executives, don't even think about crossing over. Those who have that ability will either be eliminated or recruited by the government or the company. They will intercept and locate anyone who dares to cross over.
Once confirmed, a team composed of governments and corporate consortiums will immediately come to eliminate them. After the first defense plan is confirmed, they have the right to eliminate any individuals or forces that exceed this limit without trial."
Yuan Qiyuan shrugged, "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Qin Qingque raised his hand at this time.
"Executive Qin Qingque, do you have any questions?" Tian Yu's attitude softened a little.
"Our enemies."
Qin Qingque asked seriously, "Since we are here to participate in the defense of the World Ring, then may I ask, who are our enemies and where are they?"
"It seems that the three of you can't wait any longer." A voice came from the side of the podium in the screening room.
Chen Chuan looked up from his seat and saw an officer in uniform, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and standing straight, walking out from the side door.
He walked to the podium and saluted the three people. "I am Ding Mou, the tactical advisor of the command center. I have been ordered to convey the operational arrangements to your teams."
When Yuan Qiyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Qingque's whole body naturally tensed up and he entered a certain state.
Ding Mou looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Executive Chen, since you have just arrived here, the higher-ups originally planned to let you rest for two days to familiarize yourself with the environment and the areas that require attention, and then assign you some adaptive tasks.
However, an urgent message just arrived from another station. All other teams have been dispatched to the front lines, leaving only your combat-ready team idle. Therefore, you may need to end your classes early."
