Chapter 1115 War Mode
The Guardian of Chenlong Pass?
Lin Qiye asked in surprise, “Wasn’t the person in charge of Chenlong Pass previously a Nightwatcher?”
“That was during peacetime,” Teacher Chen led the way ahead while explaining unhurriedly. “Now that the full-scale divine war has begun, all twelve Class A war fortresses have entered a state of war. Within this pass, various forces are integrated… drone logistics support, Great Xia military, Nightwatchers, special teams, human apex fighters, and even Heavenly Court deities are all present.
These war passes are no longer the empty shells you saw before. It can be said that nearly 80% of Great Xia’s combat power is now distributed among these passes.”
As Teacher Chen finished speaking, more than ten military trucks loaded with surface-to-air interceptor missiles roared past Lin Qiye and his companions, raising billowing clouds of dust that filled the air.
Lin Qiye waved away the dust in front of him and looked around this magnificent and enormous pass again, his eyes filled with shock.
“So, does Chenlong Pass now have a Great Xia deity guarding it?”
“Of course.”
Teacher Chen led everyone to the edge of Chenlong Pass’s inner wall, where several military figures immediately saluted and opened the doors to let them through.
After exiting the inner wall of the pass, there were very few large-scale buildings and logistics teams to be seen. Most of what came into view were circular waters for docking fleets or offshore platforms for helicopters. Thick silver-glowing cannon barrels were embedded in the walls, arranged like honeycombs pointing at the entrance where the outer and inner walls met, resembling a firepower fortress.
Following the military-green path made of floating panels, Lin Qiye and his group passed through several waterways. A helicopter roared overhead and slowly landed on a nearby offshore platform. Several Nightwatchers wearing dark red cloaks jumped off with their luggage and black boxes, and people quickly came to register their information.
“Those look like the Nightwatcher team from Huaihai City,” An Qingyu recognized those figures at a glance.
Lin Qiye followed his gaze and thought carefully for a moment, “Yes, that’s right.”
More than two years ago, before [Nightfall] was established, they had followed Zhou Ping to challenge the top-ranked Nightwatcher teams from various cities, and had fought against the 007 team stationed in Huaihai City. They never expected that after such a long time, they would meet again in Chenlong Pass.
“Indeed, Nightwatcher teams from all major cities have come,” An Qingyu sighed.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s heart stirred, and the images of Hong Ying and Wen Qimo suddenly appeared in his mind.
If all the Nightwatcher teams across the country had been mobilized, then the 136 team stationed in Cangnan should be among them too, right? He wondered which war pass Hong Ying and Wen Qimo had been sent to…
The group briefly greeted the 008 team before continuing forward. After walking about two kilometers, they arrived at a body of water where numerous ships were docked.
“That one is the exploration ship specially prepared for you,” Teacher Chen extended his hand, pointing to a vessel that wasn’t large but looked very sturdy.
“The ship is equipped with sufficient fresh water and food for you to make a round trip. Other traditional nautical equipment is also available, though you may not necessarily know how to use it…”
“Don’t worry, we have Qingyu,” Lin Qiye patted An Qingyu’s shoulder and smiled.
For An Qingyu, who possessed [The Only Correct Answer], no transportation vehicle or professional equipment posed any difficulty. Lin Qiye had no doubt that even if they took a spacecraft into space, An Qingyu could help them pilot it safely back to Earth.
An Qingyu smiled shyly.
Teacher Chen nodded and continued, “One more thing, electronic communication devices cannot be used in the mist. Once you enter the mist, you will be completely cut off from Great Xia.”
“We understand that.”
Lin Qiye and his team boarded the ship, checked all the facilities, and after confirming everything was in order, sailed out of the inner wall’s waters, passed through the outer wall gate, and headed straight toward the Great Xia border.
…
As Chenlong Pass gradually receded from view, the bow of the exploration ship broke through the misty border and slowly disappeared.
Lin Qiye stood on the deck at the stern of the ship, a faint silver light emanating from the badge on his chest, protecting his body from the mist’s erosion.
After leaving Great Xia territory, the gray-white mist obscured the sky, making the already dim sunlight even more faint and blurry. Even though Lin Qiye stood at the stern, looking back, he could barely make out the location of the cabin, while the bow was completely submerged in the mist.
In the deathly silent environment, only the deep, dark seawater churned restlessly.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the mist behind him and also stood at the edge of the stern.
Lin Qiye turned to look at the golden-haired man beside him and, after hesitating for a moment, couldn’t help but ask, “Is it true that you can help us extend the time our badges can resist the mist?”
The badges left by the [Blue Rain] team did indeed give them the ability to walk freely in the mist, but the time limit was only 24 hours. Lin Qiye and his team’s destination was far away, and 24 hours would likely not be enough to reach it. Before departing, Michael had already said he could help them solve the badge time limit problem.
Michael glanced at him and said calmly, “It’s not difficult.”
He waved his hand lightly, and a golden light burst from his fingertips, instantly covering the ship. The badges on the chests of Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu simultaneously flashed with a faint light as a tiny “miracle” was inscribed on each.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s heart finally eased a little.
The two stood in the rolling mist like a pair of statues, neither speaking, falling into silence.
Perhaps feeling the atmosphere was too oppressive, Lin Qiye took the initiative to ask, “What do you think of Great Xia’s war passes?”
Michael was silent for a moment, then said, “Very impressive.”
“…Could you be more specific?”
“They can perfectly integrate human power and divine power, coexisting in this way—very impressive,” Michael paused, then added, “The deities are not high above, and humans do not bow in submission. The two depend on each other yet do not interfere with one another. I have watched over the human world from the moon for countless ages, and in this long time, only Great Xia has been able to achieve this.
No other divine nation, including our Heaven, can do it.
But…”
“But what?”
“But the more special Great Xia is, the more wary other divine nations become of it… Under the absolute disparity in total strength, everything can be broken, including war passes.”
