Light Fortress-Chapter 1495 - 211: The Death of Gu Shen
Chapter Two Hundred and Ten: The Death of Gu Shen
Boundless Deep Sea, electric arcs flashing unexpectedly.
The low roar of the hub resounded beneath the ocean, an endless train shuttling through layers of fog.
Inside the carriage, thousands of threads were webbed like a spider’s web around one person.
That was billions of pieces of information pulsating every second, now layered like a light cocoon.
"The connection... is broken."
The woman enveloped in the large cocoon spoke softly.
Chu Ling opened her eyes, countless threads snapped in response, and the carriage returned to its original cleanliness, spotless.
Her eyes held shock, confusion, bewilderment, pain.
But none of these should be something an "AI" possesses.
At this moment, the connection between Gu Shen and her was completely broken, a feeling never felt before; previously when Gu Shen went to a Disaster Realm that shielded the spirit, her connection was only briefly interrupted.
This time, however, it indicated... the other end of the connection was completely lost.
Which meant.
Gu Shen, was dead?
After confirming the loss of Gu Shen’s connection signal, Source Code gave up interacting with the outside world, everything else ceased to matter, and Chu Ling began forcibly retrieving data from the Heavenly Eye above Sangzhou Cave. Despite these electronic surveillance devices managed by the main server being buried under the ash of Tanyao Mountain, she still forcibly pulled out all the footage within the surveillance scope above Sangzhou Cave.
Mountain fire erupted, Skytop was pitch dark.
Previously densely packed Heavenly Eyes, amid the impact from ash and the eruption of Tanyao, were now barely a tenth remaining... The few remaining devices, mostly distributed around the outskirts of Sangzhou Cave, but under the external force driven by Tides, what these Heavenly Eyes could capture were merely continuously stretching distant scenes. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"..."
Chu Ling blankly watched this scene.
The Spiritual Link between her and Gu Shen was broken because he entered the Tanyao Core Area...
And at this moment.
Tanyao erupted, pillars of flame soared skyward.
It’s simply impossible for any living being to survive such a large-scale disaster.
...
...
Qi Mo confined himself in the room, restless, as he continuously glanced at the watch projection, then towards the main screen.
Why did Source Code disappear all of a sudden?
Wasn’t it supposed to be... everywhere!
"Buzz..."
After a system crash, Qi Mo saw the familiar code, he slightly relaxed, but before he could speak, he saw Chu Ling ask first: "Did Gu Shen return?"
Qi Mo was stunned.
He felt a bit confused.
Because this shouldn’t be a question that Source Code asks.
To Chu Ling, finding out if Gu Shen returned only required pulling up monitoring footage from the ten Source Energy Boats, then she’d have an answer within 0.01 seconds.
"Miss Chu, Mr. Xiao Gu hasn’t returned yet."
After saying this, Qi Mo froze, he suddenly realized something, "hasn’t returned yet" was a very ominous term, and especially since this question came from the mouth of Source Code, the shadow cast over his heart expanded countless times at this moment.
After receiving this answer, the exchange information on the screen from Source Code disappeared.
Chu Ling logged offline.
...
...
"Where’s Gu Shen?"
"Gu Shen hasn’t returned yet?!"
Shen Li paced anxiously, the Netherworld Fire in his heart sent a signal of imminent danger.
He had just become a Angel Envoy!
How could he encounter such a situation?
Little Iron Man couldn’t stay calm, he glanced at the Divine Infant sleeping in the nutrient chamber, gritted his teeth, and dialed Chen Mei’s communication, "Chen, quickly arrange a micro-boat, I need to go back."
"Are you out of your mind?"
The communicator responded with Chen Mei’s gloomy reply, "Did you not see the explosion of the mountain fire just now, going back is suicide? Also... I’m the person in charge of Da Du, not North Continent! Arranging a micro-boat, I don’t have the authority!"
Because there was no news from Gu Shen for a long time, Shen Li wasn’t the only one in distress.
The Law Enforcers of the Sincere Heart Association, after boarding the ship, gradually found solace, but it was only upon sailing out of the territory of Sangzhou Cave that they realized... one crucial person hadn’t boarded yet!
Gu Shen!
The southbound mission to Sangzhou Cave, took a considerable time, and every Law Enforcer from the Sincere Heart Association who met Gu Shen, felt grateful to Mr. Xiao Gu.
In his daily conduct, Gu Shen was gentle, humble, and compassionate, willing to rescue the innocent.
Of course.
This wasn’t the most crucial.
For them, heading south to Sangzhou Cave wasn’t a simple task; if not for Gu Shen stepping up, just the repeated Beast Tide attacks would have caused significant casualties!
Gu Shen truly secured many benefits for East Continent, setting traps that ensnared Beast Tides, pulling Yuan Shuo City’s clergy army to back the Law Enforcer brothers, inciting protesters from various districts to resist upper-echelon forces, dispersing the energy across East and West caves!
If not for these maneuvers, the number of brothers returning home safely would probably be half or perhaps even less!
Moreover, both Source Tower and Light City suffered losses in the Sangzhou Cave incident... These matters, placed in front, remain an unsolved mystery.
But as long as the Sincere Heart Association brothers stationed in the city weren’t fools, they could guess a thing or two.
Mr. Xiao Gu stirred the winds and clouds in this event, strongly thwarting the original plans of these two major forces!
"Now, we just have to wait for news from Bai Xiu."
Chen Mei maintained his composure and spoke in a deep voice.
Actually, he was anxious too, but what good does anxiousness do?
