In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 170: Blissful Iron Wall
Mudan and her maids squeezed over from the side and placed eight trays in front of the Buddhist hall team.

There are three types of instruments in the tray:

An eight-diagram plate inlaid with crystal cores, a rectangular plate engraved with black talismans, and several special psychic bombs wrapped in crystal cores.

In addition, there are twenty pure crystal cores each.

These pure crystal cores were also purified by the Buddhist temple team.

In addition to attending classes on weekdays, the eight of them have to work overtime to produce pure crystal cores for distribution to the users of the crystal core greatswords.

Wang Jixuan briefly introduced: "This rectangular sign is made of the spine of a king-level blade beast. It is locked with the aura of the king-level blade beast and is engraved with your code names. It will not be used in this battle."

Zheng Shiduo raised his hand and said, "I know! If they died in battle and their bodies were shattered or burned to charcoal, we can use this to identify their identities!"

An old lady-like psychic cursed with gritted teeth: "If you can talk, just say more! Really! You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"

Zheng Shiduo smiled awkwardly.

He never debates with women.

Mainly, it's just a debate.

"Peony, come and introduce the goal of this time to everyone."

Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers and walked to the corner and sat down.

The two mechanical maids took two steps forward and raised their hands. Their four slender hands lit up a simple holographic map.

Mudan bowed slightly and began to introduce herself in a brisk tone:
"Everyone, please see that our target location is located in the southwest of the D3 integrated war zone, not too far from the border of our D5 war zone.

“The commander-in-chief of the D3 integrated theater has been informed of our actions. He will remain silent in the future and expect us to resolve this rock pressing on their heads.

“Please don’t be too optimistic, the D3 military cannot provide us with any operational support.

"Many important facilities in D3 have been completely controlled by the Psionic City. Removing an S-class psychic can only ease the pressure on the D3 theater headquarters, but it cannot directly change the status quo.

"Our target this time is hiding near an important water conservancy hub in the northwest of D3. There is a huge fortress here."

The holographic projection showed a magnificent dam, with natural mountains on both sides of the dam, enclosing a huge reservoir.

On a cliff on the left side of the reservoir, a six-story dome building stands on the cliff.

The holographic topographic map clearly shows several giant destructive cannons placed under the top dome, and dense firing ports are set up on each floor of the building.

This is a large bunker that guards the dangerous terrain and protects the safety of the dam.

Mudan pointed with her finger, and the internal structure of the cliff was displayed in front of everyone.

There is a fortress embedded in it.

【Iron Wall Fortress】

Unlike normal forts which are designed vertically from top to bottom, this fort extends horizontally.

The cliff and the mountain behind it were hollowed out, and behind the cliff was the [outer city] of the Iron Wall Fort.

The outer city is a purely military area, equivalent to the upper city of Fort 76.

Extending inward from the outer city is the [Middle Industrial Zone] that supports hundreds of thousands of people, and the [Inner City] behind the industrial zone, which is marked in gray and whose population cannot be accurately calculated.

The entire iron wall fortress is moving gently downward, and the inner city is already below sea level.

"This fortress is called Iron Wall Fort."

Peony Express Introduction:

"Twenty-three years ago, Iron Wall Fortress was secretly controlled by psychics, and became a vassal of the Psychic City in terms of military and political aspects. S-level psychics began to be stationed here in rotation, with a new S-level psychic being replaced every three to four years.

"According to the news circulating in the Psychic City, this place is called Paradise. The high-level psychics in the Psychic City are trying their best to be stationed here.

“More importantly, there is a branch of the Thirteenth Institute hidden inside, which can produce a large number of low-level psychics every year.

"Our priority this time is to eliminate the S-class psychics here. Our secondary goal is to blow up this Thirteenth Branch and collect as much evidence of their crimes as possible.

"S-level psykers are usually stationed in the outer city, which is this area."

A flashing red square appeared on the map. It was not far from the outer facade of the cliff and was also the area with the most intense firepower.

Mudan turned the map around and pointed at the entrances to the ventilation ducts scattered throughout the forests.

She continued:
“We will enter the Iron Wall Fortress from the connecting area between the inner city and the middle industrial zone.

"According to the intelligence we collected in advance, the interior of the Iron Wall Fortress has been systematically corrupted and has an extremely bad atmosphere. Please be mentally prepared in advance and do not let your personal emotions affect the progress of the mission.

“We’ll need to split into four groups later.

“Make sure each group has at least three A-level combat units and at least one loyal wingman to ensure electronic warfare advantage and pass each level.

“The four teams must reach the throat of the Iron Wall Fortress within the scheduled time, and then launch a general attack on the area where the S-level target is located.

"Due to Captain Zheng's own strength, he will be equipped with the precious X-Armor. Everyone must be equipped with the new 'Stalker IV' armor.

"This is good equipment that has not yet been equipped to the army."

Each member of the Buddhist temple team smiled.

Zheng Shiduo covered his face with his hands and rubbed them vigorously, saying that it was really amazing that a small C could mix with a group of A and B-level psychics...

A chicken stands out among cranes!

Wu Man raised his hand and asked, "Where will our plane land?"

"It's in a canyon several dozen kilometers away from this area," Mudan explained softly, "Everyone, be prepared to travel quickly."

"Where's the information about the S-class psychic?" Ji Xiao asked.

"This is what I'm going to introduce next, please take a look."

Several rays of light shone from Mudan's shoulders, and a holographic projector was spread out above the holographic map.

A middle-aged woman in a fishtail skirt appeared inside. She had three-dimensional facial features, beautiful looks, and a hot body. She put her hands on her waist and looked up proudly.

——This should be a photo cut out from a poster.

Mudan continued to introduce: "Fierli, nicknamed 'Fei Yan', non-awakened S-level, she has revealed three abilities, extremely powerful mind control, control of fire and water, and strengthening her body..."

"Let me add two more words."

Wang Jixuan spoke up:
“Everyone, don’t have too much pressure. This woman is not Huo Rong, but just a low-profile version of Xing Dian, the last one in the S-class, and ranked 78th in the known S-class.

“According to intelligence, she is extremely narcissistic, and Lao Zheng can start from this aspect when mocking her.

“The difficulty this time is actually the armed forces inside this horizontal fortress.

"This is different from what we did before. We used to be guarding inside the fortress. We had the advantage of the terrain and military armament. Now this advantage has turned into a disadvantage.

“So, we must be very careful when we sneak in later, and retreat immediately if one group is exposed.

"do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Well, Mudan, continue to introduce the grouping plan. Everyone should be more active. If you encounter an S-level psychic in advance, you don't have to form a seven-star sword formation. If you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, run away."

"Teacher Wang, rest assured, we will complete the task!"

Wang Jixuan: ...

What he was worried about was that these eight guys were not afraid of sacrifice and were stubborn and resolute.

The Taoist priest has no plans to open classes again in the near future.

"Come on," Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and rested. He was afraid of going too far, so he didn't dare to continue encouraging.

An hour and a half later, the transport plane flew low into the canyon.

The support team that had been waiting on the ground for a long time immediately removed the holographic camouflage of the forest on one side, revealing an area that had been leveled in advance.

The transport plane fell vertically and stopped steadily. The holographic camouflage of this place was activated again.

The Peak Maid Group and the Buddhist Hall Team, a total of 16 people, were divided into four groups, A, B, C, and D. The four groups were equipped with strong stealth armor and entered optical stealth and electromagnetic shielding at the same time. The members of the support team hiding outside could only hear the ding-ding-ding footsteps and vaguely see a few transparent figures drawn by the "distorted light".

Wang Jixuan stretched in the cabin, walked to the small compartment behind the cockpit, yawned, and pushed the door open.

Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian, who was holding the holographic newspaper and observing it carefully, looked up at Wang Jixuan.

Taoist Wang asked helplessly, "Why are you, a commander-in-chief, following us on this kind of assault mission?"

"Get you out if necessary."

Fu Jian turned the page of the newspaper and found that he had reached the end, so he put the newspaper down with some boredom.

He stood up and said, "Aren't you going to change to X armor?"

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan pointed at his nose, "I want to go too? Aren't I here to give them grades?"

"Now that we're here, let's go."

Fu Jian sighed:

"I will take you to see the evil that Thirteen has done, so that you can stand firmly on the side of normal humans."

Wang Jixuan shrugged: "What's so good about this? It's just the lower city of Fortress No. 76."

"I must remind you that Fort No. 76 in the Middle Basin is under my jurisdiction. The tragic fate of the people in the lower city is due to the fortress mechanism and the depravity of human nature."

Fu Jian urged:
"Go change your armor quickly. If I don't show you the systematic corruption of psychic energy, you won't be able to understand the evil of the Thirteenth Institute."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Wang Jixuan coughed weakly twice:

"I was seriously injured in order to kill Huo Rong. I won't act rashly this time."

Fu Jian pretended to believe it.

……

Two hours later, it was noon.

Wang Jixuan, wearing a slightly upgraded X-armor, arrived above the "inner city" of Tiebibao with Fu Jian.

They arrived at the ventilation duct that Group D had entered before. Fu Jian skillfully released the micro robot and operated the small screen that popped up on his arm. The monitoring system inside the ventilation duct failed for the second time.

The two of them walked in as if they were shopping and landed at the corner of the pipe without any sound.

Wang Jixuan relies on controlling his breath, while Fu Jian relies on the magnetic ring.

Occasionally, the headphones could be heard communicating with each other. Having already been here for more than half an hour, they were now informing each other of their positions and were getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff.

So far, so good.

D5 is also a unique product in the field of military technology.

Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness expanded, the smile on his lips quickly faded, and he couldn't help but frown.

Fu Jian, who was originally going to take him on a tour, instead followed him and walked deeper into the inner city.

The structure of the horizontal fort is similar to that of a normal fort, but the 'inner city' here is completely different from the lower city of Fort No. 76.

This place is like an ant hole, with capillary passages connecting each "wing room". The wing rooms are divided into living areas and living areas. The family's private space is a tent.

In terms of environment, this place is better than the lower city of Fort 76 in that it is not far from the surface and the optical transmission system can be used, so the light is still sufficient.

What is inferior to Fort No. 76 is the relatively inadequate drainage system. In order to avoid polluting the reservoir water source, the drainage pipes here extend far outward and are often blocked.

Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian drove the optical stealth camera, stopped outside a room, and looked inside.

More than a hundred people live here.

Most adults were lying or sitting, wearing clothes that almost fitted their bodies.

They were in a daze, each holding a dirty air bag in their hand. After a while, they would put the air bag to their mouths, take a deep breath, and then their expressions would become intoxicated.

There are also children over the age of six here, and these children will stay beside their parents, staring at the air bag, waiting for their parents to fall asleep or unconscious, and then they will go over to grab the air bag and smell it gently when they put it to their nose.

Fu Jian whispered, "This was a new type of anti-dark drug that caused a lot of controversy more than a decade ago. Most war zones banned this type of gas drug, but the fortress controlled by psychics preserved it."

Wang Jixuan nodded and said nothing more.

He and Fu Jian continued to stroll, looking along the capillary path, their spiritual awareness constantly extending.

All areas are pretty much the same.

Fu Jian asked: "Do you think they can still be called human beings?"

“I don’t know how to evaluate this,” Wang Jixuan said in a low voice, “Their souls have already been corrupted.”

"This is their purpose," Fu Jian's voice was filled with emotion, "In a fortress like this, no uprising will break out. Only then can the psychics feel at ease."

Reports from various groups began to be heard on the communication channel.

Peony: "We have arrived at the designated location No. 1."

Wu Man: "We need about three to five minutes, please wait."

Zheng Shiduo cursed: "This place is too disgusting, remember to turn on the air purification function of the armor."

Ji Xiaoze said: "Don't worry, psychics are immune to this toxin."

Wang Jixuan warned: "Don't rush to act, be more patient."

The group leaders responded simultaneously.

Fu Jian patted Wang Jixuan on the shoulder and said, "Let's hurry up and go to the 13th branch. There might be that kind of wall here."

"Okay," Wang Jixuan agreed, his spiritual consciousness already covering half of the iron wall fortress.

He could see that most areas of the 'Inner City' were filled with similar scenes, with people tightly grasping their air bags and constantly indulging themselves in illusory dreams.

The industrial area is much better.

The most important part of every fortress is the industrial area, just like the midtown of Fort 76, which is responsible for production and maintaining the operation of human society, as well as producing materials to fight against blade beasts.

But in industrial areas, the use of that type of airbag is common, with most people running after get off work to get back to their homes, or a few people gathering together to use airbags before eating.

This is true for patrol security teams and also for ordinary law enforcement teams.

Many people, when they ran out of supplies, gave up all their dignity and knelt in front of the gangsters, being humiliated at will.

The thugs would kneel before the law enforcement team composed of low-level psychics and offer all kinds of resources, including young men and women they controlled with air bags.

The entire political order of the fortress has failed.

The only area that remains relatively clean is the troops stationed in the outer city area here.

The garrison troops directly blocked all passages leading to the interior, only accepted external supplies, and rotated garrisons with other fortresses.

The thirteen branches here have endless supplies of materials.

"This is the world controlled by psychics."

Fu Jian said calmly.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jixuan, wanting to admire the young man's expression, which must have been filled with suppressed anger, but unfortunately, the demon helmet of the X-armor blocked this expression.

Wang Jixuan suddenly said, "There's some good stuff over at the branch office. Let's go take a look."

"Hmm?" Fu Jian couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any feelings?"

"There is no use in lamenting, we must eradicate all evil."

Wang Jixuan quickened his pace and urged:
"They are about to fight. Most likely they will close gates everywhere. We need to act quickly. It seems to be the original infusion wall... and there are some psychic mechas?"

Mecha? Mr. Fu instantly became interested.
