Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 72 Deflection of Direction

"What is that?"

"It looks like a person!"

"People are flying in the sky? Have they cultivated immortality?"

"Anti-gravity technology? Magnetic levitation?"

"I think it might be magic..."

At the main gate of the northern base, some people who were queuing to be checked and entered were all drawn to Wu Ou, who was gradually approaching from the sky.

On the city wall, the city guards also showed expressions of surprise when they saw Wu Ou's face.

"Dr. Wu is back!"

"I drove there, so I can fly back!"

"It would be great if we could use this technology too."

Wu Ou heard the guards talking and just smiled.

Even if you gave this thing to a level 1, early-stage Source Energy Warrior, they might not be able to use it well.

In comparison, he felt it would be more practical to apply the engraving technique to a small airplane, making it larger so it could carry more people.

They crossed the city wall and landed outside the research institute.

"Dr. Wu!" The patrolling guards at the door greeted Wu Ou with a salute.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is Coach Li here?"

"Coach Li is here, meeting with people from another base," the captain told Wu Ou.

"Really? Thank you." Wu Ou raised an eyebrow and strode in.

"They're coming back at this time? Are they from across the river? That doesn't make sense! They didn't even send anyone to check the island in the middle of the river, so how did they get here so quickly?"

If his memory serves him right, the two bridges spanning the river have already collapsed, and it will be at least six months before they are fully repaired.

Before that, exchanges between the bases on both sides of the Beijiang River were mainly conducted by waterway, with air transport as a secondary method.

"Thinking about it that way, it can only be one of the bases in other places."

But the closest one, besides Linjiang Shopping Mall...

He thought for a moment, and realized that there seemed to be no record of them contacting him proactively before the Northern Base first sent out a communication signal!

Of course, it's also possible that in his previous life he was just an ordinary person at the bottom of society, and had no access to that kind of secret information.

When you can view them later, some of the contact records that weren't initially 'pleasant' will not be visible.

"So, does that mean this contact won't be very successful?"

The thought that there might be some talented people in those bases in the future gave Wu Ou an urge to find a way to poach them.

After all, the reason why the Northern Base was eventually recognized as the number one base in the north by the Capital Base was, of course, its strong capabilities, which undertook a lot of population and order reconstruction work.

On the other hand, compared to other bases, the combination of Coach Li and Commander Tian has always focused on a development path centered on restoring basic order, meeting the needs of the people, and reshaping the science and technology system.

As for the other bases, over time, some of the original ones were joined by rising civilian teams, while others developed only to a limited extent.

In conclusion, after multiple assessments and investigations, the Northern Base ultimately became the number one base in the north.

Of course, the Northern Base at that time was definitely not the size it is now. It was only after integrating human resources with several powerful bases that it was able to firmly establish itself in this position.

But this absolutely does not include those bases over there!

Just as Wu Ou was walking towards the research lab, Director Li was introducing himself to a man who looked to be in his fifties.

"Xiao Xu! Everything is going well at our northern base right now, and that's exactly the time when we need more talent."

"If you'd like to join us, we'd certainly love to welcome you!" Coach Li said with a warm smile.

Completely unaware of the fleeting awkwardness in the eyes of the man surnamed Xu.

"Uncle Li, um, we actually want some weapons."

I saw before that you guys can manufacture special weapons here.

He took a deep breath and stated the purpose of his trip.

In fact, they initially came for the food, because the outward expansion of hunting by the northern base had led to many mutated beast herds appearing near their bases.

This made hunting much more difficult for their team, and the amount of food they obtained also dropped sharply.

Once the investigation revealed that the source was the northern base, this mission was launched.

Initially, they wanted to find out the strength level of this area, and then they saw the hunting team members fully armed and efficiently killing a large number of mutated beasts.

This is completely different from their situation, where if they encounter more than ten mutated beasts, they must quickly retreat and ambush them before daring to attack.

So it turned into a desire to obtain some food support from the northern base.

Then, I happened to see that some people were carrying cold weapons.

The users, like characters in fantasy movies, achieved effects surpassing those of ordinary firearms.

Their primary focus immediately shifted to this weapon.

Upon entering the northern base, they were utterly astonished by the state of the basic facilities that had been restored there.

They couldn't understand how the Northern Base had managed to do all this. Was it simply by relying on people who had the technology?

This feeling is like someone who was used to the way of life in ancient times when there were cold weapons suddenly arriving in a modern metropolis.

Otherwise, the ground would still be covered in snow, and many unused basic buildings would still bear signs of damage.

He would certainly believe that, in the year the disaster struck, the Northern Base not only escaped serious damage, but actually made some technological progress.

"You want engraved weapons? We can produce those here..."

"We can provide it to you, but we need you to make some exchanges."

A voice came.

Coach Li looked in the direction of the voice and exclaimed, "Wu Ou, you're back so soon!"

"Coach Li, we discovered something very important over there, something that can fundamentally improve our technical skills and effectiveness."

And most importantly, things to protect the surface structures of the northern base.

Wu Ou said these words firmly and took out the core of the barrier.

"This is?"

"The barrier core, as long as it's supplied with source energy, can..."

As Wu Ou spoke, he directly released a barrier to protect the three of them.

Dang dang dang.

Coach Li glanced at it and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Little Qin, try slashing it with your sword!"

Qin Feiyun had already stopped what he was doing when Wu Ou walked in.

"OK."

He picked up a two-handed sword that had just been engraved and took a deep breath.

"ha!"

With the input of source energy, the blade of the sword, adorned with the New Year's greeting sword technique, began to glow.

Inside the barrier, Mr. Xu was so frightened that he almost dodged backward.

Fortunately, he managed to control his instincts.

when!

The sound of the sword striking the barrier was unmistakable.

"Great! That's fantastic!" Coach Li's eyes lit up.

"Wu Ou, what's the situation over there? What kind of help do you need from here?"

Also, when will this barrier technology be used across the entire base?

Seeing Coach Li's expression, Wu Ou understood.

The ruins on the island in the middle of the river will become the focus of development for the northern base.
