Chapter 24: Tomorrow

Sunday, October 8, 2017

The dense grass and vines are faintly dotted with some sunlight. Even in the middle of the day, walking in this dense forest still gives people the feeling of darkness. The humid air, the sour smell of decaying plants, the slippery floor, and the unknown insects are all very uncomfortable.

It's a no-go zone, a no-go zone where no human is allowed to enter. Even if the scientific research needs of the scientific research department, it can only be entered by artificial intelligence or semi-intelligent robots to carry out relevant scientific research. As for the relevant code, the reason for the establishment of this forbidden zone reads: "World War III nuclear (and) bomb (harmonic) warehouse - accident site, limit radioactive material recovery." ”

"Here we are, doctor. ”

However, at this time, there was a team of more than a dozen humans here. Without exception, they are all lightweight camouflage mechs, and among them there is an unusually large self-propelled transport robot, and the cube-shaped warehouse can actually let through the sunlight. This is a strategic stealth livery that is stated in the Joint Code: All non-military applications are illegal.

"I didn't expect it to have recovered to this extent, look at how far we are from the core. Walking in the middle of the group, the man called the doctor looked up at the dense canopy sea, and the face in the mecha compartment showed an excited expression.

"It's about five hundred meters ahead. ”

"Uh-huh, what about the specific correlation base data?"

"The aberration rate of animals and plants has been maintained at 65.7%, the limit radioactive material in the atmosphere has decayed and precipitated to 0.004%, the limit radioactive material in the topsoil layer is 0.021%, and the average radioactive intensity of the isolation layer is 0.1%. The limit of radioactive material in the quarantined area was 97.51%. ”

"Piercing wounds, hehe, it's really worthy of its name. Moving on, the 'Tomorrow' mech is ready to pierce, and the shielding team begins the final shielding. "The camouflage paint of the Doctor's light mech slowly changed color, eventually changing to a deep black. On the black mecha livery, a huge "sword and shield crest" appears. This "sword and shield coat of arms" is extremely similar to the well-known "sword and shield law", the only difference is that the background color of the article is no longer noble royal blue, but a dazzling golden red.

Twelve mechs left the ranks, forming a circle around the massive self-propelled transport mechs in the center. The lightweight mech, under the influence of the blue light thruster, left the surface and ended up in the canopy layer.

This is definitely the most advanced mecha technology in the world, the black mecha casually rests on the arm-thick branches, and the situation is still as stable as Mount Tai without the help of any power source. At the same time, the decibels of the sound emitted by the mecha when it is activated are always kept below 50 decibels, and even completely inaudible in the sea of trees rolling in the wind.

"The shielding team is ready, the absolute barrier is open. A unified voice sounded in the radio channel, and the twelve mechs that had stayed in the sea of canopies disappeared in the sunlight at the same time. A barrier that is invisible to the naked eye is silently constructed, and when viewed from above the canopy sea, you won't notice any difference whether you look at it with optical surveillance instruments, radio sound waves, or any energy scanner. The wind was still blowing, the leaves were still swaying, and everything seemed so normal.

However, when you cross this layer of barrier. A thin layer of indigo light curtain slowly swept across the woodland from top to bottom. In the space enclosed by the barrier, except for the remaining mecha and the huge self-propelled transport mecha, all the trees and flowers, as well as all the animals and even invisible bacteria and viruses, all turned into ashes the moment the light curtain swept over. Finally, the light curtain falls to the ground, and the uneven ground descends with the light curtain, until the entire ground is a flat red color, and the light curtain disappears. The shallow magmatized ground cooled rapidly, and the excess heat was strangely extracted from the ground and replenished into the light curtain above. On the pristine ground one centimeter away, the green grass and dead leaves are still untouched.

"The ground is ready, the self-propelled mech is ready, and the core information is docked. It is possible to puncture. ”

Except for the twelve mechs on the periphery, and the one called the doctor, the other five mechs all quickly landed on the black-brown hardened magma stone. Quickly deformed, the driver wrapped in the mecha compartment walked out of the mecha compartment as if he had taken off his coat, and he was all white and long-distance running. The five mechs were distributed in an equilateral pentagonal shape within the barrier, and the laser light and shadow rapidly evolved in this space, but the five people were familiar with it.

The doctor looked up at the self-propelled mecha in the center of the pentagon, and his right hand was jumping rapidly on the controller projection keyboard on the left mech.

Hydraulic compression release, electromagnetic clutch, and the sound of huge mechanical changes, the self-propelled mecha is like a crouching ostrich. Or, rather, more like an adsorption syringe. The metal scaffolding burrowed into the ground, and after a few dull explosions, it was firmly anchored to the ground.

A low, muffled sound spread, rippling across the barrier.

The self-propelled mech's compartment slowly unfolded, empty inside, but emitting scorching heat. The metal of the self-propelled mechs emitted a low hum, a phenomenon that only existed after taking a huge impact.

"'Tomorrow' is implanted. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Doctor walked out of the mech compartment. Looking at the hot self-propelled mecha that exuded distorted vision, he exhaled deeply.

Each of the twelve mechs maintaining the light curtain released a fist-sized mechanical instrument from a special equipment bay, and then descended under the action of the thrusters and landed around the six people on the ground.

"Here we go, our new journey. ”

—— —— ——

Huaxia City, inside the East China Sea Sword Pavilion.

The bamboo sword in Chen Feng's hand flew over, but every time the sword was released, it looked particularly awkward. It is always necessary to break the castration of the bamboo sword and change the direction of the bamboo sword swing when the sword is swung. Such a deliberate change made Chen Feng feel extremely jerky, even with his talent, even if he had been practicing for nearly a week.

Each change of direction of the bamboo sword brought a gust of wind, and the air tore and hummed briskly. However, no matter how hard Chen Feng tried to speed up, the strong wind brought by the bamboo sword could never be connected into an aura. Through these days of practice, he has initially mastered how to feel the breath attached to the bamboo sword and connect his own breath with it.

"Alright, let's stop and rest. Your aura is already chaotic, and no matter how strong your sword is in this way, it will not be able to condense the swordsmanship aura. Long Xi held the sword in one hand, stood on the edge of the Bafang Terrace, looked at Chen Feng who slowly stopped, and frowned slightly.

Chen Feng stabbed out with a sword in reverse, and a gust of strong wind rose with the sword. With a frown, his sword robe stirred in the wind, and a strong air current surged towards him from the center. A gust of wind sounded, and on the edge of the Bafang Terrace, the broken hair on Long Xi's forehead moved with the wind. There was a ripple on the small canal outside the Octagon Tower, and the vines hanging down from the second floor of the Sword Pavilion and the plants on the ground also swayed in the wind.

"Why still not!" Chen Feng gradually calmed his breathing.

"In the field of swordsmanship, there is an ancient saying that has been popular since ancient times called 'sharpen a sword in ten years'. Progress happens every day, it's just that sometimes it's big and sometimes it's small. This is different from the practice of martial arts, guarding against arrogance and rashness, which is a very important practice in swordsmanship. Long Xi was still standing on the edge of the Bafang Terrace, speaking in a flat tone.

The bamboo sword in Chen Feng's hand suddenly stopped, and his hands rested on the hilt of the sword. A spider web spread out on the wooden ground, and the dense columns were covered with bamboo swords. Chen Feng's hands trembled slightly, but he quickly calmed down. When his hands left the bamboo sword, the bamboo sword in his hand fell off and became a pile under his feet.

Alas, after all, it's just a child. The heart is still immature, which is probably the reason why there are many swordsmanship geniuses, but there are not many young masters.

Long Xi's ears seemed to ring the instructor's words again. Swordsmanship is not only about martial arts, but also about cultivating the heart. If you can't calm down, you'll never be able to enter the world of swordsmanship. Because, the sword is so fast that your reaction can't keep up at all. Then you can only feel it with your heart.

"That's all for today, Chen Feng. Your heart is in turmoil. ”

Chen Feng raised his head, glanced at him, and didn't say anything.

Ten days of getting along. Long Xi could already easily understand the meaning of Chen Feng's silence.

"So, have you ever seen the wind coming?"

There was still silence. Long Xi smiled and shook his head. "Before the wind came, the heavens and the earth were silent. But you can see the trees moving in the distance, and you can hear the gradual sound of the wind. But the wind came, but only for a moment. If your mind is not quiet, then this moment often ends in a trance. I didn't have time to feel it at all, and I was drowned out by the coolness of the wind. ”

Chen Feng's frowning brows stretched thoughtfully.

"Sometimes, comprehension is like listening to the wind, just a fraction of a second. Unlike the extreme concentration of the spirit of martial arts, perhaps, swordsmanship pursues another direction, which is called relaxation. ”

"Yes, I see. That's it for today, and let's take a break for the next few days. Chen Feng finally let out a breath, and the cyan and blood in his eyes slowly receded.

Long Xi nodded, and the uncle-like smile was still the same.

Geneva.

In the United University of Political Science and Law, the Science and Technology Training Center. On a huge open-air training platform, a teenager in a white windbreaker and school uniform sat quietly. At the edge of the uniform, the bright red slowly spreads upwards, showing a flame posture. A red-gold metal chain, a sword and shield crest flashing on a sky-blue ribbon.

Around the open-air training platform, several special instruments were constantly running. The sky was suddenly overcast, and the humidity of the air was rising rapidly. Around the cultivation platform, in more than a dozen towering castle tower-like buildings, more than a dozen people dressed in two-color school uniforms and covered with medals and ribbons all looked at the young man on the cultivation platform in the distance.

After adjusting his breath, the boy slowly got up, and the sky thundered and exploded, and the torrential rain poured down in an instant. It was cloudy and rainy in the sky, and the humidity of the air was instantly full.

A strong wind slowly rose around the boy's feet, from weak at the beginning to strong, and finally directly stirred the clouds in the low sky. In the wind and rain, the young man looked up proudly regardless of the rain that slipped on his face. A crystal red special nutrient in his hand, Chijing, was slowly raised. The young man's black eyes gradually turned red, deeper and deeper, and when the red deepened to an extreme, a touch of cyan slowly emerged in the middle of it. As the cyan expanded, there seemed to be an invisible blade cutting through the space. One end of the red crystal raised by the young man shattered, and the rich aroma quickly spread in the air, even in the pouring rain, it was still fierce.

The blood-like liquid flowed down the boy's throat and into his abdomen, and a stream of heat exploded through his body like lava, filling his limbs and bones in an instant. The hurricane raged around the boy, with a sea of clouds and a torrential rain, cutting everything off. In the young man's hand, there was a colorful special nutrient-color crystal, which he swallowed slowly.

The half-clear bloody eyes slowly turned into red gold, and the red gold slowly contemplated, and the two red golden flames finally swayed in the young man's eyes. The hurricane suddenly dissipated, and more than a dozen light curtains rose from the periphery of the cultivation tower. An indescribable heat spread rapidly in the air, and in the blink of an eye, clouds and mist were shrouded in a radius of thousands of meters, and the low raindrops were quickly evaporated, and then condensed into fog.

The light curtain swayed, as if it was bearing a tremendous impact.

More than a dozen people in the spire stared intently at the light curtain in the distance, and the wind and clouds in their pupils changed. After a long time, suddenly, a violent and crisp sound of glass shattering spread from a distance, and more than a dozen layers of light curtains actually broke one after another, showing a splinter posture in the air and slowly falling.

The wind dissipated, and on the empty cultivation platform, the young cultivator's body stood proudly.

"Hehe, Xiaotian, the eldest brother has also stepped into the palace of the Tyrant Emperor. Next time we go back, we should practice well. Hey hey ......"
