Chapter 1768 Shield-type Ability
As the convoy slowly drove across Qinglong Bridge, the wheels rolled over the cracks in the stone slabs, making a soft "creaking" sound, as if telling the story of the passage of time.
Just past the bridgehead, the view ahead suddenly opened up!
At the foot of the Yanshan Mountains, a giant base rises from the ground like a dormant ancient beast, creating a vibrant world on this barren land.
Its scale was far beyond anyone's imagination.
Even Li Luo, who was used to the prosperity of the Jinling base, couldn't help but hold his breath, feeling a strong shock in his heart;
Shi Xinxin pressed herself against the car window, her eyes wide open, and muttered:
"My God, this is amazing! It's at least three times bigger than the Jinling base!"
As can be seen with the naked eye, the base does not adopt the conventional circular or square layout, but rather unfolds in an irregular fan shape following the contours of the Yanshan Mountains.
The left flank firmly relied on the steep mountain, turning the mountain itself into a natural defensive barrier. The firing ports and observation towers carved out of the rocks could be vaguely seen.
The right wing extends into the heart of the plain, where large white greenhouses are neatly arranged, creating a stark contrast with the distant wasteland.
The entire base forms an excellent defensive pattern of "backed by mountains and facing plains", with only a majestic main gate and two hidden emergency passages on the plain side, making the most of the terrain advantages.
Even more astonishing is that a layer of light blue, semi-transparent energy shield, like a flowing aurora veil, completely envelops the entire Youzhou base.
The top of the shield extends about 5 meters beyond the main city wall, and its edges are seamlessly connected to the mountains on both sides without any gaps, as if it grew naturally from the rocks, forming a complete and flawless sealed protective shield.
Sunlight falls on the shield's surface, refracting fine, fish-scale-like energy ripples. These ripples flow slowly along the shield's outline, radiating a warm yet extremely intimidating halo. To the naked eye, one can clearly feel the immense energy contained within, like an indestructible chasm, completely isolating this sanctuary from the zombie hordes, chaos, and unknown dangers of the apocalypse.
"This is the source of confidence for the Youzhou base!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Fenglin smiled and began to explain, his tone filled with undisguised pride, "Don't think this was made by a machine. This was something the base spent a whole year gathering seven top-tier shield-type ability users from all over the country to form a dedicated 'guardian team' that maintained it day and night!"
He pointed to the flowing ripples on the shield and explained further:
"These seven are all top-tier shield-wielding ability users, selected from among the best in the special category. Each of their shields has a different focus. Some excel at enhancing defensive strength, some can precisely neutralize ability attacks, and two can even sense and deflect mental attacks. They are divided into three groups, taking turns on duty. Through ability resonance, they intertwine and fuse their respective shield energies, and with the help of the energy amplification device underground in the base, they can maintain this super shield covering the entire base. Moreover, they can adjust the energy distribution according to the threat level. For example, if they detect a high-level zombie or ability user approaching, they will automatically concentrate energy to strengthen the corresponding area, making their defense extremely flexible!"
As Li Luo gazed at the shimmering shield, an overwhelming sense of shock and complex emotions welled up in his eyes, and a long-buried memory surged back uncontrollably.
In her previous life, she struggled for five years in the apocalypse and had heard bits and pieces of legends about "shield-type superpowers".
