Chapter 553 - 260 Living Warship_2
"Iron Guard... How long can you live?" Li Yelai asked.
Before becoming a Spiritual Ability User, Li Yelai believed that the Border Iron Guard were legendary figures of great power!
They were mighty, with long lives, and in the eyes of the Giant City’s inhabitants, they were invincible before the exposure of Spiritual Ability Users.
At the founding of Giant City, they sheltered humanity from danger, fighting against wasteland warlords.
Only after eradicating all threats did they fade from public view, true legends they were.
In reality, the Border Iron Guards were non-spiritual soldiers who had undergone multiple biomechanical modifications.
Through these modifications, they were unable to become Spiritual Ability Users, but their bodies became stronger and were perfectly suited for the heavy Power Armor.
This technology came from a certain Forbidden Zone civilization. After human sages conquered the Disaster Fog that didn’t evolve into a Forbidden Zone, they passed this technology on to other human Giant Cities. This greatly enhanced the combat power of the Giant City’s forces.
Each Giant City Circle’s Iron Guard, in fact, had their own distinctions and titles.
In Border City, they were called Border Iron Guards, with even thicker Power Armor.
In Yaoqing Giant City, they were referred to as Snow Riders, with Power Armor fitted with insulation equipment.
"You’re Border Iron Guard have undergone the same modifications as our Snow Riders, so theoretically, they should have a lifespan of two hundred years," Jing Lin replied. "You’re guessing there are Iron Guards still alive? That’s difficult. Even Iron Guards require regular maintenance and care. In such an environment, it’s tough just to survive."
