Tang Ling had the question in his mind from the very beginning, and he thought about it a lot more after that.
Of course, he could assume that the area behind the Cliff of Hope was too dangerous. The zombies and beasts were attacking the Cliff of Hope day and night.
It was indeed a hidden danger.
But why would they attack the Cliff of Hope? Shouldn't the better direction be to go around the Cliff of Hope and go around the forest on both sides of the cliff to the front?
It was also to prevent this from happening that Safety Sector No. 17 stationed troops in the forest on both sides of the Cliff of Hope. Instructor Thuja had revealed this information to him before.
If that was the case, why not concentrate the troops on both sides of the Cliff of Hope and build fortifications?
Even if the beasts and zombies were hard to control, their target was the Cliff of Hope. Humans flanking them from both sides and clearing them from time to time was the best choice, was it not?
Why would they go through the trouble of building a Hope Barrier behind the Cliff of Hope? Why would they fight day and night and even use the 3D holographic projection to deceive everyone?
Facts had proven that both the zombies and the beasts were commanded by intelligent beings. They would not attack the Cliff of Hope that was a thousand meters tall all the time, unless …
When they thought about it carefully, the answer was on the tip of their tongue, but it was still shrouded in mystery.
There was an absolutely illogical flaw in the whole thing, and the root of the flaw was that even an idiot would understand that if Safety Sector No. 17 wanted to expand, the better option would be on the other side of the Cliff of Hope.
There was no need to spend so much manpower and resources on the other side. So, what was the answer?
"Good question." Tang Ling's question caught the attention of some people in the command center, and it finally triggered the young warriors to think about it.
Yang Kong answered Tang Ling's question directly. It was obvious that it was the main point of his lesson. Why did the Hope Barrier exist?
This time around, Yang Kong did not stay in the command center anymore.
He led the young warriors to one side of the big circular center. There was a staircase that led up to the top of the command center.
In order to explain it clearly, they had to see it clearly!
**
At the top of the Watchtower.
Staying in the dusty air for a while longer would make one's mouth filled with dust.
The bloody wind was fine, but once one got used to it, one would not smell it anymore.
It was the norm in the Hope Barrier. The air belonged to the Hope Barrier, so one had to get used to the air and smell here.
When they reached the top of the Watchtower, that was the first thing Yang Kong told the young warriors.
As for what happened next, there was nothing to be said.
This was because they could see everything clearly here. They needed to observe this place on top of the huge ruins themselves. As long as they weren't stupid, they would definitely be able to find the problem very quickly.
Tang Ling was also watching quietly.
Thanks to the time he spent in the command room, he was able to adapt to the battlefield. This time, he didn't have much of an impact on the battlefield. In order to get a better look at the world behind the Cliff of Hope, he stood on the edge of the top of the Watchtower.
Here, the dust was heavier, and the smell of blood in the wind suddenly became very real, as if one was soaking in blood.
But it didn't matter. He could sense the violent energy waves coming from the purple boulder that was less than 20 meters away from the Watchtower. It was as wide as the Glory Hall and 14 meters tall.
That's right, the first thing he saw when he arrived here was this purple boulder. It stood quietly among the ruins.
It emitted a hazy purple light that enveloped a large area, forming an irregular circle.
The range of coverage included the entire Hope Barrier.
Without Yang Kong's explanation, no one would know what this purple boulder was. Just by relying on his body's instincts, he could feel that every cell in his body was very active when he was so close to it. It was as if he was reborn.
Even something as illusory as one's spirit and willpower could clearly feel the excitement. It positively burned their blood and devoured their fear.
The feeling was not unfamiliar to Tang Ling. Back in the command center, when he sensed the purple light, Tang Ling felt his cells become active and his desire to fight boiled.
Now, it was even more obvious.
He also noticed the battlefield. No, more precisely, all the battles were centered around the purple boulder. As long as he paid a little more attention, he would notice that whether it was zombies, beasts, or all sorts of monsters, all of them were rushing towards the purple boulder.
The battlefields of Safety Sector No. 17 were also divided around the purple boulder. It was basically an airtight 360-degree defense.
Tang Ling was very sensitive to the color purple.
Whether it was Kun's vague and unintentional mention of the Purple Moon or Su Yao's slip of the tongue about the Purple Moon having a big secret, everything intensified Tang Ling's sensitivity.
Therefore, when Tang Ling laid his eyes on the purple boulder, he knew the answer that he was looking for was right before his eyes.
With his Precise Instinct, he could sense every single change in his body and even his spirit better than others.
He instinctively wanted to get closer to the boulder to figure out what it was. What was the meaning of the purple glow? Was it related to the Purple Moon in the sky?
Tang Ling did not have the ability to confirm anything with his eyes alone. He used his Precise Instinct on the purple boulder.
It was a never-before-seen attempt and a revolutionary application of Precise Instinct because the specialty of Precise Instinct was calculation instead of analyzing components.
Of course, it also had the function of being highly sensitive to danger, but whether it was his own instinct or the ability of his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling had yet to figure it out, let alone master it.
Regardless, Tang Ling started his experiment. He used his Precise Instinct to look at the purple glow and sensed a blurry energy fluctuation.
It was not enough for Tang Ling to figure out what kind of energy it was. What kind of analogy could he use as a reference to draw a conclusion?
Therefore, Tang Ling gathered his spirit boldly and used his Precise Instinct to sense the purple boulder.
All it took was a split second for Tang Ling to feel like his body had fallen into boiling water. The purple boulder seemed to be able to respond to his senses as a tremendous amount of energy surged towards him.
Tang Ling could not help but cry out as his head felt dizzy. He quickly withdrew his Precise Instinct from the purple boulder because if he allowed the energy to surge towards him, his body would explode from the overload.
It was an accurate judgment. After his Precise Instinct was withdrawn, the intense energy calmed down, but the dizziness made Tang Ling wobble at the edge of the Watchtower.
