Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Second ? Flat-Headed Brother Grant (?????)

? 'Commander! '

‘The transport troops are ready, what instructions do you have? '

The voice announcement from the helmsman 'Joker' on the bridge came through the communication, and Shepard, who was talking relaxedly with his companions and comrades in the crew lounge, couldn't help but sighed and stood up:

"Let them go immediately, go and come back quickly!"

"Normandy 2 will continue to stay in orbit and continue to stand by. We don't have much time to fly down. That's it, the call is over!"

Shepard didn't talk too much with the clown, and directly gave his latest instructions in a few words.

'clear! ! '

"..."

Seeing little Annie, Miranda and Ashley playing cards and watching some two shameless guys lose so badly against a child... Shepard will smile heartily After a while, without disturbing them, he just turned around and walked gently to the huge window with the armored plate in the lounge, looking at the beautiful planet outside the window.

"It's a beautiful planet, and I'm glad it wasn't destroyed by the Reapers, isn't it, Geras?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, looking at this planet with atmosphere, forest and sea for a while, Shepard sighed and said softly.

Standing beside her was her old comrade-in-arms Galas, who had been standing here looking at the huge and beautiful planet outside the window for quite a while.

"Yes, Commander."

"After the war is over, maybe I will choose to settle here for a while..."

Now Galas and their homeland are in ruins. Although the reapers there were all driven away or wiped out by the Zerg, what remained was indeed a desolate planet...

In fact, most of the entire galaxy is in such a miserable scene now, even the earth is no exception! The trauma of the planet after the war cannot be repaired in three to five years! So, this planet is really hard to come by now... If he, Galas, has a future, after the war is over, after they wiped out the Reapers and succeeded in giving the galaxy a new peace, he will definitely come to this worthy planet. A commemorative place to start your new life well.

"The war is over?"

"Oh! Yes! Geras,

Victory will be ours! "

Hope everything goes well...

Shepard smiled wryly. She wanted the war to end sooner than anyone else, but whether it was those extremely powerful reapers who harvested countless reincarnations, or the Cerberus phantom men who had ulterior motives and tried to dominate the galaxy, I'm afraid they won't let her get what she wants easily!

Therefore, if they want the war to end as soon as possible, they must continue to fight, struggle, and work hard to fight and destroy any enemy who does not intend to give them peace! Only then can they finally get what they want, the peace they dream of...

Only by fighting can we see hope, and only by blood can we forge peace!

I don't know why, but Shepard always has a premonition: It may not be easy for them to end the war... Therefore, she is now prepared for the worst, ready to die on the road of resistance! It's just that she never dared to show that negative emotion.

After all, she still needs to lead their like-minded friends, and show those partners who choose to fight alongside Shepard for their respective pursuits and beliefs the determination and attitude that will definitely win!

"Shepard, you seem to have something on your mind?"

At this time, Liara, who was sitting relaxedly in front of a small coffee table and looking at some materials, also came over and stood beside Shepard, watching the beautiful planet outside the window with him.

She could feel that her officer, comrade-in-arms, partner and closest person should be in a bad mood right now?

The place outside the window, she still remembers...

Because, they fought on this planet, it seems like three years ago? But Liara can't remember the specific time, because, for the Asari who live for thousands of years, time is a very vague concept... Anyway, even today, she herself They are still in their teenage years!

So, for time, she has always been very careless, just wantonly squandering her almost endless intangible wealth, to study or work hard to save the galaxy? As for the future, or what to do in the future, it is still too far away for her.

"No, nothing!"

"You may not believe Liarla, but I actually just have some feelings..."

Shaking his head, Shepard continued to look out of the window quietly, without saying anything.

It's just that her eyes are deep and far away now, and her sight is completely out of focus on the planet outside the window of the spacecraft Xuan, and her mind doesn't know where she has flown.

...

Here is the Exados star cluster!

And in the main star system, that is, in the main star system that has a mass effect repeater and can connect the entire Milky Way, on the second orbit inside the star system, where they are, is the current important star system. One of the colonies.

It is - the main star of Eden!

This is a perfect home planet completely suitable for life, with almost all living conditions similar to the earth! From space, looking down from the window of Normandy II, it still has gray-green continents and blue oceans, and the vegetation coverage on the entire planet is very large, basically without any modification. Human colonization.

Of course, necessary immunization measures and medical conditions still need to be prepared!

However, after so many years of colonization and reclamation, under the environment of the big universe, the human immune system has long adapted to this beautiful planet... and similarly, this Eden Lord Star has long been accustomed to the environment brought by humans. Those messy viruses or bacteria didn't cause too much impact or damage to the ecological environment of the planet.

At this moment, Shepard and their Normandy 2 are quietly floating in the planetary synchronous orbit of the main star of Eden, just overlooking this home star with a lot of vegetation... Here, they did not see There are too many Star Alliance fleets, and the remnant of the Sixth Fleet that was originally stationed here and was half disabled by the Reapers, except for leaving a few gunboats and one or two frigates to maintain the basic planetary security, there is no more here. There are no other fleets, and the security of the planet has been reduced to the lowest point.

Because, they have all been dispatched to the Arcturus space station, and they are preparing to fight against the large-scale invasion of those Reapers!

It is precisely because of this that they feel that the time is tight and the atmosphere of the entire Star Alliance is not good, so they did not choose to let the Normandy II directly land on the main star of Eden, but only sent a whole team of UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft Landing at the excavation base on the ground, they intend to directly transport back the new weapons and equipment they need, as well as those Prothean instruments and data backup.

Because those Cerberus guys who came here to make trouble and dig the ruins of Prothean have already been taken over by the fleet of the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes! Under the powerful deterrence of the fleet, except for a small number of diehards who were killed, the others wisely chose to surrender and were arrested one by one by the soldiers of the Star Alliance.

However, now Shepard doesn't want to care about those Cerberus guys, she just stares at the green and blue planet with some fascination.

"..."

"Eden Lord, this is where it all started..."

Finally, Shepard, who slowly came back to his senses, sighed with nostalgia.

Fortunately, when the Reapers came here, they were annihilated by the Human Battleship of the Heroic Federation who arrived in time before they could defeat the Sixth Fleet and land and harvest the main star of Eden. Otherwise, the Eden they see now The main star will definitely not be what it is now, but will become a dilapidated ruin scene like the earth, Palevon or the planet Sesia...

Seeing the current situation and seeing this well-preserved and beautiful home planet, Shepard and others can't help but feel that all their efforts and efforts over the years are worth it after all!

"Liara, it was here, on this main star of Eden, that I obtained the Prothean's beacon, and let us know the existence of the Reapers for the first time... It may even be said that you I don’t even believe it, at the beginning, I didn’t really believe that there would be such a thing as a reaper.”

"Now that I think about it, more than three years have passed..."

Now, at a time when the United Grand Fleet of the Federation of Heroes, the Star Federation, and the Citadel Council races was about to be forced into a decisive battle against the Reapers, they are back at the place where it all started, and it has to be said that As fate would have it...

Perhaps, everything begins here, and then everything will end here?

Of course, it could also be...

They finally succeeded in smashing the reincarnation harvesting plan of those evil reapers, successfully saved the entire galaxy, and allowed all current advanced civilizations to continue to thrive?

But what is the ending in the end, she doesn't know yet, and she doesn't want to know!

She, Shepard, only knows that as long as she is alive, she will do her best to do her best! It is absolutely impossible for those Reapers to make Shepard submit! She will fight and fight until the day she falls!

"Yes, I still remember the Prothean beacon on Eden Prime!"

Liara, who was also standing beside Shepard and looking at the planet below, nodded slightly with some emotion.

Back then, it was precisely because of the Prothean's beacon and ruins that Liara was able to get to know Shepard, which triggered a series of subsequent events until today.

"That's right..."

"At the beginning, this place was the place where the rebellious God Citadel ghost Saren and the Geth launched the first attack together!"

"I think back then, in order to write the report, I desperately searched for all the evidence that could accuse Saren of treason... At that time, when I was sitting in the office, I heard that he attacked a colony... After that, I I couldn't sit still anymore, and went straight to the road of fighting against Saren and the Reapers..."

"I think you all know that it's not easy!"

"Whether it's the Citadel Council or our turian councilors, they obviously don't believe me, because that Saren is the strongest ghost in the Citadel, and I'm just a C-SEC employee!"

Galas also sighed with some emotion, and said bitterly while looking at the yellow-green planet outside the window.

It can be said that the Reaper's conspiracy started from the rebellious Saren!

Although in the end, it turned out that his Galas report was extremely correct! However, those people, whether they were members of the council or the turians, they didn't like him very much, and some even thought that he forced Saron to lead him to such a path?

That kind of unreasonable speculation has always made him resentful but he can't laugh or cry...

Therefore, after the Battle of the Citadel, Shepard not only won a valuable position as a member of the Citadel Council for mankind, but also became a ghost of the Citadel because of his great contribution. Those damn guys continued to squeeze out, and finally had to go to the Omega space station to fight crime, and stayed there for two years.

However, everything in the dark has long been doomed, and his life, Galas, is destined to be extraordinary.

No, he offended everyone he could offend in the Omega space station, but none of them died! Now, he continues to embark on the road of saving the galaxy and is about to become a great hero. Let those who are hostile to him and those who exclude him continue to envy and hate him!

His archangel Gerasgai Shaoxia, he is so powerful!

"..."

Shepard didn't continue talking, but stood silently with his companions, remembering the glorious years...

Back then, if the Reaper's beacon hadn't been discovered here, then she, a little female officer who originally belonged to the Star Alliance, would not have had so many things later, and it would not have caused her to crush the Reaper's plan. And he gave up his life to fight and struggle, and even died for it once...

Therefore, she firmly believes that no matter those collectors or those harvesters who have harvested countless reincarnations, as long as she is still alive, they are destined to be unable to stop her way forward!

She knew that those guys were afraid of her, Shepard, and they even tried to ambush her and assassinate her!

But, she didn't give in, and never will!

"Huh? What are you looking at here? Well...it looks like a very good planet..."

∑('△')? !

At this time, a certain little guy leaned over with his head poking around.

"Is there something delicious or fun on this Eden main star?!"

(*′▽`*)?.

Whether it's the Reapers, the Protheans, or the villains of Cerberus, those guys are not what Annie wants to care about!

She just wants to know now: Is there any kind of fun or delicious food on this green-looking planet? Otherwise, why are Big Sister Shepard and the others so fascinated?

"..."

Well, this time, their originally good atmosphere was completely destroyed by a certain little guy.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not?"

Looking at the expectant little head, after shaking his head, Shepard explained helplessly:

"The main star of Eden was once attacked by Saren and the Geths back then, and Cerberus has continued to move here over the years, and even directly attacked here before... So, Annie, if you want to play If not, this Eden Lord Star is not a good choice here."

Although the main planet of Eden still looks very intact, both the vegetation and the landforms are well maintained from space, but... it was destroyed by Saren, Geth, Interstellar Pirates, Cerberus and not long ago. After the Harvester raids, it is said that the loss of personnel in various colonial towns was very serious, and those who had a little conditional ran to a safer earth. , How well can this planet be built.

Even, Shepard felt that the main star of Eden was not an ideal colony star before the Reapers and Cerberus were wiped out. No matter how good its environment was, its unstable external security environment already Seriously restrict its development.

"It's not fun, it's so boring!"

(?︵?)

Hearing that there were no things she cared about, little Annie simply turned her head and ran away, and continued to get together elsewhere, continuing to play with Miranda and Ashley.

It's just a broken planet, there is neither delicious food nor fun, so why are those guys chatting so hard? It's too bad to make her happy in vain!

"Shepard!"

"What do you think Cerberus came to Eden Prime to dig up the remains of the Protheans at such a critical time?"

Liara ignored the naughty little human girl, but continued to chat with Shepard.

Compared to remembering the irreparable things in the past, what she wants to know more now is: Cerberus's series of big actions, including venturing to Eden under the eyes of the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes fleet The main planet here excavates and expels the people who attacked those colonies. What do they want to do?

If the other party does such a dangerous thing, it must not be aimless!

Could it be... the Prothean ruins here are related to the 'Sky Furnace' project?

If that's the case, maybe they finally succeeded in blocking the opponent's plot this time, and bought them a lot of time? In short, no matter why Cerberus chose to invade the main planet of Eden at this time, one thing is certain: the Prothean ruins and the things excavated by the other party must be very important!

Otherwise, Cerberus wouldn't have taken such a big risk and tried to steal it under the eyes of the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes fleet!

"I don't know either……"

"But, I believe we will know soon!"

After finishing speaking, Shepard directly used the universal tool in his hand to contact the clown who was in command of the bridge to support the transportation mission:

"Clown, how's the matter? Has our convoy returned yet?"

Because this time is not a combat mission, but just loading and supplies, so since they have been chatting in this lounge for such a long time, it has been nearly half an hour. The convoy should be about to return.

She, Shepard, had already calculated silently that with the preparations made by the Star Alliance troops on the ground, the mission of resupply and transporting goods to and from Eden Prime would never take more than forty minutes!

'Report sir! '

'The cargo has been loaded and is currently returning to the voyage, and it will take about ten minutes to return...'

'But, Mr. Shepard! You may not believe it, but I just found something amazing in the shipping list! It seems to be... a relic of a Prothean? '

It didn't take long for Shepard to wait, and the clown on the comm channel gave what their commander wanted to know almost instantly.

"Relic?"

"What kind of relic is it part of the Prothean device found on Mars?!"

Hearing the clown's words, Shepard and Liara looked at each other in surprise, and then subconsciously felt: That thing, that relic must be related to the Prothean device 'Sky Furnace' project found on Mars. related!

Otherwise, Cerberus would not take the risk of secretly digging up the ruins and driving and attacking the colonists, so that he would be discovered by the Star Alliance and Federation fleets. Therefore, that thing must be very important and valuable!

'Sorry sir! '

'I don't know anything, I'm just a spaceship pilot! But the list says there's... that seems to be a Prothean hibernation pod or something? In a few minutes at most, they will return successfully, why don't you go and see for yourself? '

The clown in the communication spread his hands to his commander with an innocent face. No one should ask him a helmsman who drives a spaceship for such a thing, right? He was very good at flying the spaceship himself, he admitted, but if it was anything else, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Ok, I see……"

In desperation, Shepard could only nod awkwardly.

Before they came here, the two high-ranking officials of the Star Alliance and the Federation did not tell them what it was, nor did they mention what Cerberus had discovered, but just let them come here to pick up supplies and check along the way It’s just a discovery by Cerberus... It’s very possible that those senior officials of the Star Federation and Federation Headquarters who are busy with the decisive battle now don’t pay attention to such small things at all, right?

But no matter what it is, since it has fallen into Shepard's hands now, it won't be easy for those Cerberus guys to take it from her hands again!

"The dormant chamber of the Proxians?"

"If that's the case, I don't think it would be of any value... Shepard, you should also know that the Proxians have been 50,000 years away from us now... I can't imagine it, is it? What kind of equipment can sustain a life for such a long time?"

"Fifty thousand years, that's too long..."

Judging from the current technology of the various races in the Citadel, even the Asari, who claim to be the most technologically advanced, can barely maintain it for a thousand years or so at most, if it is longer, or Either the equipment couldn't hold on and crashed, or the dormant life body suffered irreversible serious damage due to the long-term dormancy, and even died because of it!

Presumably, those 50,000 years were enough to kill those unlucky Proxians who stayed in the hibernation cabin.

So, after hearing this, Liara herself was not very interested in the Prothean relic, the dormant capsule, etc. She was more concerned about whether there was anything in the relic. Valuable documents and materials that have been successfully deciphered?

If it is the kind of explanation about the 'Sky Furnace', or a document that introduces it in detail, then it would be great! After all, since the Protheans buried countless beacons and warnings to the next reincarnation civilization before they were destroyed! Then, it should be very possible to find a few more plans or explanations about the Sky Furnace.

Anyway, those things are more reliable than expecting a living Prothean.

'ha! '

‘Ms. Liara, you made a mistake this time! '

'I just saw it on the report: the Prothean's relic, except for some unidentifiable information waiting for our Commander Shepard to interpret it personally, the dormant capsule we shipped back, it is the only one With a life response! '

'That's why the soldiers of the Star Alliance didn't dare to open it easily, and they have been properly protecting it all the time! '

At this time, the clown, who was still in communication with the crew member, directly refuted the words of the Asari Liara.

"!!"

"Very good! Liara, it seems that we must go to the shuttle landing cabin on the fifth floor right now!"

"What fun!"

"A living Prothean is much more valuable than some complicated information!!"

Hearing that there is such a good thing, and that there is a living fossil Progenia who may have survived for a full 50,000 years, Shepard's spirit couldn't help being shocked, and he quickly grabbed Liara, who also had an incredible face. arm, ready to rush to the cabin on the fifth floor below as soon as possible.

"Etty!"

"Let Dr. Modine and Dr. Kailin Jacobworth go to the landing cabin immediately and make relevant medical preparations!!"

While rushing out, Shepard did not forget to give her urgent orders to the ubiquitous artificial intelligence EDI. If that Proxian is really alive, then she must ask what she wants to know!

If the other party still had to die in the end, he had to wait until she finished asking her questions before dying! !

'Yes, Captain Shepard! '

An electronic synthesizer sounded, and EDI immediately responded to Captain Shepard's order.

"Wang Zha!! Haha, I won!!!"

?(????????)?

At this time, Shepard and Liara, who were rushing out, were startled by a child's bluffing, and had to stop and glared angrily at some kid who scared them.

"Hey! You two guys are sneaking around, what are you trying to do?!"

(=￣ω￣=)

Little Annie, who was playing card "Fight the Landlord" with Miranda and Ashley, cheered, and quickly picked up two wooden clips from her side and put them on the noses of Miranda and Ashley respectively. Then he asked curiously to the two of Shepard who came to them.

The other party looked in a hurry, could it be that there is something more fun?

"Our transport team is about to return. It is said that there is a Prothean who may have survived 50,000 years ago?"

"How about it, do you three guys want to go and have a look together?"

Seeing Miranda and Ashley with a bunch of wooden clips on their faces, noses, ears, mouths, etc., looking unloved, Shepard was amazed and funny, and Asked to help the other party.

Now not only she and Liara are going, but also Galas, Kaiden and others are going!

After all, it is very rare for a living Proxian to exist 50,000 years ago! Although they had roughly figured out the appearance and physical characteristics of the Prothean from those monsters when they were fighting with the collector soldiers, but those were just monsters transformed by the harvesters. Compared with the living one?

So, since there is excitement to watch now, she took advantage of the opportunity to give these two partners who were being bullied miserably by a certain little guy a step down, so as to save them from being unable to hold back that face when they wanted to leave.

"Of course I'm going!"

"Definitely going!!"

Needless to say, Miranda and Ashley jumped up from the sofa as if they were relieved, and swiftly pulled off the wooden clamps on their faces. With red marks on their faces, they looked at their faces with grateful eyes. Commander Shepard.

In fact, they didn't want to continue playing for a long time, because they lost so badly that they almost lost their face!

But... are they afraid that some nasty little guy will say that they renege on their debts, that they will run away if they lose?

Therefore, it would be great to be able to end the card game called 'Fighting the Landlord' confidently now! Otherwise, if they continue to be clamped to their faces by that kind of wooden clip that that kid didn't know where they found it, their faces will really have no place to rest!

"Then I'm going too!!"

Go! go! go! ?(^ω^)?

So many people want to go, and it sounds like it's very interesting, then Annie herself will definitely not miss it! Besides, she is really interested in old monsters that have lived for 50,000 years!

"Then let's go together!"

"I just hope that this time, we won't be too disappointed!"

After finishing speaking, Shepard waved his hand, and led a group of people, big and small, directly surrounded by them and walked towards the elevator of Normandy II.

I hope, I really don't want to disappoint them too much...

Thinking of what they saw two days ago when they rushed to the location of the Citadel space station and the familiar orbit of the Serpent Nebula, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Because, in the original space station of the Citadel, there are only a few sporadic cruisers of the Citadel fleet and countless rescue capsules...

There, they successfully met Congressman Asari who survived by chance, and learned everything from the other party:

It turned out that when Cerberus took advantage of the battle between the Citadel fleet and the overlord warships that attacked the Citadel and survived, they brazenly let their inner responder Udina and the leader of the Krogan rebel army, Grand Together with Cerberus' fleet, they launched a mutiny and a surprise attack with internal and external cooperation!

Afterwards, they really succeeded in besieging and expelling the God's Citadel Council in one fell swoop, and completely occupied the entire God's Citadel space station.

At that time, except for Asari's councilor who was able to escape in time, Salari councilor and Turian councilor all died in that rebellion... Afterwards, under the cover of Cerberus' fleet, the other party successfully captured God Fort space station drives away and jumps to nowhere.

So, when Shepard and the others arrived there, only a few dilapidated battleships were left on the orbit of the original Citadel space station, rescuing those military and administrative staff and related personnel who escaped in the emergency capsule in time. citizens.

In short, things are really developing in the worst direction as Shepard and the others imagined before! That Cerberus organization, they took advantage of the time when the Star Alliance and Federation fleets were concentrating on preparing to fight against the main force of the Reapers, they fished in troubled waters in the rear, and got everything they wanted as they wished!

well……

Every time she thinks of those nasty guys in Cerberus, they not only successfully obtained the Citadel space station and successfully jumped away, but also hijacked the entire space station with a population of nearly 20 million, Shepard felt that her head was getting bigger up!

She didn't know at all, what exactly should they do to successfully stop the other party's plot? Especially now that she only has a Normandy II, what should she do to fight against Cerberus who has guns and a fleet?

You must know that the terrorist organization of Cerberus is at least as strong as half of the Star Alliance's fleet. If they choose to fight head-on, their stealth and infiltration frigate will definitely die!

However, I will only know about the future, and now she can deal with the immediate matter first, and first see what the Prothean that Cerberus has painstakingly dug up is, and is it worth it?

"Hello!"

"Little Annie, tell me quickly, did you secretly cheat just now, otherwise, how could you have been able to beat the two of us all the time?!"

"!!"

"That's right, I remember now too! You brat, you didn't even lose a single meal just now, that's really suspicious!"

"There must be a problem!!"

After Miranda and Ashley, who were following Shepard and the others at the end, realized it at this moment, they stared at a certain kid who was smiling with a bad tone and began to interrogate him.

Now, the faces of the two of them are still red, white, and blue. Those who don't know may think that they have contracted some kind of strange skin disease...they have been clamped in the face by that kind of wooden clip The soreness and pain on the nose, ears and lips, in retrospect, is really too bad!

Although the most elite fighters and agents like them are not the kind of women who rely on their faces for food, well, they also cherish their own faces, and they will definitely not make trouble with their faces for no reason.

"Where?!"

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

"Those cards are obviously shuffled by you yourself every time, can you still blame me? I have never touched them, and the cards are dealt by you!!"

Σσ(?Д?;) I, I, I did nothing!!!

Yes, Little Annie can confidently say that she did not cheat at all!

Because, shuffling is the responsibility of the loser, and the two unlucky Miranda sisters and Ashley sisters are the ones who lose the cards from the beginning to the end! As the winner, she just opened one of the cards randomly when she was about to deal the cards to decide who to deal the cards first. How could she have the opportunity to cheat?

"..."

"So, it seems to be the same?"

"Maybe, we are really unlucky today?!"

"possible……"

Miranda and Ashley looked at each other suspiciously, and then they thought about it carefully. The situation at that time was indeed like that... The shuffling of the cards was always losing, and they couldn't beat Annie, the little 'landlord'. They don't even want to be lazy, and they are even responsible for dealing the cards.

And among them, this little guy just had the opportunity to touch the cards when he turned over a card, and the whole process was under the noses of their two elite fighters with sharp eyes and quick hands, so it was absolutely impossible for him to have the opportunity to cheat!

Maybe, they really misunderstood this little guy?

"That's right! It's obviously your own bad luck, and you still want to blame me?!"

?????

Without any proof, I just want to push the responsibility on her Lady Queen Anne's head. How can there be such a cheap thing? If you really have the ability, show the evidence of her cheating!

Anyway, no matter what, she would never admit it, there is no such thing at all.

"All right……"

"Little guy, don't be complacent! It's just that we don't know too much about the rules of 'Fighting the Landlords'. Let's wait and see, you will see us tonight!"

"Hmph! Remember to call me at night, my mother won't believe it, and I can't deal with this brat!"

"I must use those wooden clips to make her face bloom, and begging for mercy is useless!!"

"Little Annie, remember, don't leave at night, the decisive battle will last until dawn~!!"

Anyway, there are still a few days before the Normandy II arrives at the destination, and after today's supplies are completed, it will be enough for them to have fun for a few more days!

"Let's go back and study the rules carefully, we will definitely win!"

"certainly!"

"The two of us should cooperate better at that time, and we can't let us farmers hold each other back..."

"No problem! I won't take your cards anymore!"

"snort!"

Miranda and Ashley were muttering something to each other while staring fiercely at a certain little girl who was looking smug. Although the two of them may not be as good as this brat in terms of marksmanship, they also admit it. After all, sometimes the talent for shooting can't be compensated by hard work the day after tomorrow.

However, a deck of cards, a small game with only fifty-four cards in total, the two of them, who were born and bred on earth, can't beat an alien kid? .

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!

So, they decided that after dinner at night, they must get back to the place, cooperate happily, and humiliate some nasty little devil! Then, some necessary secret signals must be arranged in advance, and when the time comes, it will definitely be possible to make a kid's face, ears and nose full of those tormenting wooden clips!

(Stupid earthlings...)

(●￣(?)￣●)

(Of course Tibbers knows why the poor little master of his family can keep winning, that's because... her guy, every time, let Tibbers and Uncle Xiong secretly count first, and see who gets the first prize After all, it is only a small game of fifty-four cards, and if you figure out who gets the first and who gets the last, you can get the best one. It’s not too easy to say! And its little master only needs to decide what kind of cards to turn over and let her get the best one.)

"..."

(.?ω?)σ)′?`)

"Tibbers, shut up!!"

After hearing some bad thoughts about her little bear, Annie, who was originally complacent and happy, changed her expression in vain. She directly reached out and grabbed the face of a pregnant bear, and began to twist it vigorously.

"??"

"Little Annie, I found out...why do you always like this teddy bear who bullies you?"

After discussing the countermeasures, Miranda and Ashley lowered their heads and found that a certain kid was gnashing his teeth and twisting the plush toy in the opponent's hand. They couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"nothing!"

"I found that my little bear's face is too tight recently, do you need to loosen it?"

Σ(????)?

"Oh! I'm whispering to my little bear, adults like you, please don't come and eavesdrop!!"

|?ˇ?ˇ?. )

Fortunately, no one can hear the words of a certain bad bear, otherwise, maybe her little secret will be discovered by others!

"..."

"Why does it look weird..."

"Isn't she always like this?"

"Ha! That's exactly what I said..."

Seeing that the little guy and his plush teddy bear were having so much fun, Ashley and Miranda couldn't figure it out, they could only shake their heads dumbfoundedly, and followed Shepard in front and waited. The man walked towards the elevator console.

Now, too, it's time to visit some Prothean who is said to have lived 50,000 years.

The Anadis galaxy, here is Jack Harper, the phantom man, or the most important headquarters of the human extreme terrorist organization Cerberus!

Originally, there was nothing here except the huge red Mia giant red giant star Anadis, and even the planets in the original galaxy were swallowed up by the red giant star!

After all, it is normal for an 'icy' dead star with a mass about 20 times the mass of the sun and more than 1,500 times the radius of the sun to swallow up the entire galaxy, and under normal circumstances, That is, not many people will pay attention to and pay attention to this kind of dead galaxy.

Of course, 'cold' stars, that's actually relative!

Compared with those mature stars in the active state, the temperature of Anadis star is indeed lower, it emits very little light, and it cannot support the large amount of light and heat required by living planets, and this galaxy The planets in it have long since been swallowed by itself.

Generally speaking, here should not be a place where there are any signs of life activity...

However, it happened that Jack Harper, the phantom man, set up the main base of Cerberus here!

Originally here, except for the giant space station 'Kronos' of Cerberus, and the 'Goddess of Peace' fighter base platform responsible for guarding the space station of Kronos, these two man-made objects are located in the safe zone outside the red giant star. !

According to that phantom man Jack Harper, if such an inconspicuous space station of Cerberus is hidden in the massive rays and energy emitted by the periodic solar storms of the red giant star, it must be No one can detect it, and it will not be listed on the star maps of any racial forces, including the star maps of the Star Federation and Cerberus himself!

And this place, the headquarters space station they organized, only a small number of high-level officials know its specific location!

However, today, in addition to the original space station, fighter platform, and the newly manufactured and unfinished 'Sky Furnace', there is another huge cylindrical shuttle-shaped space station here!

That's what it is - the Citadel space station that moves and jumps here after closing it!

The core of this galaxy, this space station is now captured by Cerberus and moved here, ready to prepare for their last plan to dominate the galaxy to control the reaper.

Their Cerberus now, Chen Gong has obtained all the prerequisites for running the 'Sky Furnace', and they are only one step away from enslaving the Reapers and dominating the galaxy!

"Humph!"

"This is where your Cerberus hides, within the radiation range of a red giant star? It's really good! But now I found out, why, do you want to kill me too?!"

Grant, the leader of the Krogan rebels, sat in the seat belonging to the council member of the Citadel, looking at Jack Harper, the phantom man of Cerberus, Udina, the human councilor, and Several armed thugs of Cerberus.

Compared with the other party, there is only one Krogan subordinate and the Quri female staff officer by his side now. If there is a real fight, it will definitely be their side that suffers.

"You're joking, of course not!"

Although Jack Harper said so, he had just finished speaking. Behind the krogan Grant and his two subordinates, there was a sudden burst of light distortion, and three shadows of Cerberus appeared. Warrior, the opponent placed the sharp single blade across the necks of the three of them.

Now, only one order from the phantom man Jack Harper is needed, and the three of them will immediately fall to the ground!

"Pooh!"

"I know that you guys can't believe it! Why, Your Excellency the Phantom Man, do you Cerberus want to die together? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if my treasure blows up, let alone the castle of God, I'm afraid you The chubby semi-finished space station not far away will also be finished!"

The krogan leader Grantna really doesn't care about the sharp blade on his neck!

Because, he believed that the other party would not do anything to him, otherwise, they would have done it long ago, instead of just baring their fangs to threaten him! It's just that the other party's wishful thinking was wrong, and he, Grant, is not the one who is afraid of being threatened! Moreover, he has always been the only one who threatens others, not others who threaten him!

This Cerberus, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill him again! It was as if the other party wanted to kill him Grant!

"Ha ha!"

"Mr. Grant, you misunderstood. I just want to see your courage. We are friends and family, aren't we?"

After finishing speaking, the phantom man Jack Harper waved his hand, and the three shadow fighters behind him put away their knives in an instant, respectfully apologized to the other party, and then walked to the end of the team on the side of Cerberus. behind.

Just as the extinct Citadel Council was afraid of the other party, he, Jack Harper, was also very afraid of the krogan bastard who didn't know where to hide the nuclear bomb and threatened to blow up the Citadel at every turn!

"family?"

"Since when did I, Grant, belong to your Cerberus? Just you Cerberus bastards? Humph! Save yourself!"

"It's just that, compared to the council that has always been very strong and was suddenly beaten a bit by the reaper recently, I prefer you, the Cerberus partner, who are weaker!"

"I don't believe in the Council of God's Castle, and I don't believe in you either! If you don't think you can deal with it better, you bastards have a chance to speak in front of my uncle Grande?"

Grant, the krogan, didn't care about the increasingly ugly face of the other party, so he taunted the leader of Cerberus face to face.

Since the other party didn't give him face just now, Grant just tore his face directly! When the time comes, let's see who kills who first!

"..."

The phantom man stopped his subordinate Leng Kai who wanted to give him a good look.

"Lord Grant!"

"Tell me, what exactly do you want, so that you are willing to retreat those people of yours so that they don't stop our work?"

Now the Phantom Man Jack? Harper is very annoyed, because the other party's hundreds of thousands of militants have occupied the Citadel space station, especially occupying most of the ring area of ​​the Citadel, seriously hindering their operations, making his The plan to dock the unfinished 'Sky Furnace' to the God's Castle space station first, so that his grand plan can be launched when it is completed, has to be postponed temporarily, which makes him want to directly order to kill the other party.

Therefore, now that the use of force is not feasible, he can only act softly, intending to meet some conditions of the opponent, so as to obtain the right to control the castle first.

"Hey!"

"It's very simple! I want a dreadnought, ten cruisers, and twenty large armed transport ships!!"

Although the Citadel is a very good place, Grande still thinks its target is too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of the Reapers or the Citadel Council race!

Therefore, after careful consideration, he planned to get the warships and fleet he needed from Cerberus, and then pack up his own people, find a place where no one was hiding, and wait until everything calmed down. , make another plan?

Anyway, whether it's other races or the Reapers, it's not something he provoked, and since he has provoked the God's Citadel Council and those council races, it's better for him to get out early. Get a fleet early, and then take countless wealth, resources, and your own men to find a remote place to have fun, which is far better than staying on the castle of God with fear!

The members of the Divine Castle must have tried to kill Grant more than once! It's a pity that he caught the opportunity and killed the other party first.

"Why don't you grab it?!"

The phantom man Jack? Harper's face became even uglier!

The price proposed by the other party is almost half of their Cerberus fleet! Obviously, the other party's request was to suppress Cerberus' bottom line, making it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

"Rob?"

"Where did you snatch it and ask you to come quickly?!"

The krogan sneered unabashedly, completely ignoring the growing smell of gunpowder between the two sides.

"..."

"When do you want it?"

"Hmph! The sooner the better!!"

"..."

"make a deal!!"

"Haha! Happy cooperation, you Cerberus are so generous! I thought you were only willing to give half, but how can you think that you, an idiot, can't even bargain?"

"..."

"let's go!"

The phantom man Jack Harper, who couldn't bear it any longer, took over directly and led his subordinates away without looking back. However, he secretly decided in his heart: After he controls the Reaper, he will definitely make this krogan look good!

At that time, he directly ordered the Reapers to wipe out all races in the entire galaxy except humans, especially those krogans, leaving no one behind! !

"No!"

"Remember to send our fleet as soon as possible. I will definitely take a team of professional engineers to check it carefully. Don't try to pretend anything we don't want to see..."

Seeing the other party walking out angrily, Grant still mocked desperately.

"Well?"

"Who are you black-haired bastard? You don't agree?"

"My uncle Grant is here, what's the matter, do you want to fight?!"

Seeing that a human with black armor and black hair and a black eyepiece dared to provoke him, Grant took out the C-14 electromagnetic 'stab' rifle on his back without hesitation, and slapped him viciously. to the table.

"Leng Kai!!"

Outside the door, the phantom man's voice came in.

"..."

In the end, the man named Leng Kai still didn't dare to do anything, turned his head and left the krogan's office in resentment.

"Nonsence!"

"You still dare to threaten me Grant? Let's wait and see, sooner or later you will be killed, you scum of Cerberus!"
