Chapter 174: Searching for the ruins and finding no way, the soul returns to recall the past
"How to open this huge sealed door?" Xie Yuan stood in front of the door and fell into hesitation.
Because this door has lost its power, it now fits together tightly, just like a wall. It can be called a modern version of the "Broken Dragon Stone".
Why didn't Xie Yuan go back and ask for help? He didn't want to monopolize this discovery that shocked the world. In fact, to achieve this step, he only had to go back and report it to the Star Alliance headquarters immediately.
Fame, wealth, prestige, power, everything can be gathered into him. As the most popular science in the universe, Prothean Exploration has endured for a long time.
Once the information about the discovery of a living Prothean body is sent back to the headquarters, it is inevitable that one of the officers will be promoted to level three.
Next, with his own skills, N7 will not refuse to recruit him. Once he comes out, he will become an N7 special forces soldier.
He had an official position because he was the first to discover the Protheans. He teamed up with his superiors and Ashley, whom he was willing to support, and a huge reputation was inevitable.
Even the Star Alliance can't stop Xie Yuan from having a prosperous career in officialdom. If that doesn't work, he can get a good position wherever he goes.
Countless lectures on topics and gratitude rewards from the Citadel Council will make your life worry-free.
As long as Xie Yuan turns around and goes back.
But when the news came back to the headquarters, Xie Yuan himself felt relieved, but the guy lying inside suffered.
Possibly the last person of the Prothean clan! As long as he is carried back and activated, he will be held on the altar. He will be supported and worshiped, but there will be no respect!
He spends his whole life trying to survive, only to find that he is alone. This kind of loneliness and pain... no one can bear it.
And then people treat them like gods, or cherish them as national treasures. Pandas don't have the shame of humans, so they can tolerate it.
But what about the last person who has risen to a group? I'm afraid he is very ashamed and angry in his heart.
So Xie Yuan didn't want to take this last step. In fact, it was him who was comparing his feelings to his own. He also didn't want to accept being surrounded by a lot of people and treating him like a cherished species.
But how can we bring him out and let him wake up secretly?
Looking at the motionless door, Xie Yuan felt quite troubled. It was a sealed door that isolated the inside and outside. In fact, it could not be opened from the outside... At least since there was no camera, it could not be opened from the outside, but could only be opened from the inside.
But now this is a giant shelter with almost no energy, which has lasted for 50,000 years! How to wake up the survivors inside and open the door to the outside world?
"Do we really have to go back?" Xie Yuan looked at the gate and felt a little regretful. If a surviving member of the clan appeared in the world, not to mention other council races coming back to fight for it, even his own clan would trigger plunder.
The first to bear the brunt is Cerberus, the recognized first antagonistic terrorist organization of the Star Alliance. He himself cannot guarantee how many Cerberus spies are mixed in the entire Eden Prime.
"That's right! I forgot to clock in." Xie Yuan turned off all the searchlights, sat cross-legged in the darkness, and began to shift consciousness...
…
Half an hour later,
"Good afternoon!" The radiant Xie Yuan, dressed in officer uniform, walked into the duty room again. After entering his status on the time card machine, he asked the captain of the 232 team: "Is there anything you can do in the morning?"
"Sir, at 10:00 this morning, the captain came to visit our duty room. Sergeant Ashley Williams, the captain of the 212 squad, received him." The captain of the 232 squad reported to Xie Yuan respectfully.
I can't be disrespectful. Although Second Lieutenant Xie looks unreliable, in fact, no team leader can find fault with him.
Xie Yuan's laziness only gained everyone's acquiescence after suppressing everyone in the 200th Squadron in all training items.
And although he lay down as soon as he got to work and took a break after clocking in, he still handled the affairs of the 200th Squadron in an orderly manner.
The entire squadron has checked whether the entire duty room is equipped with micro-probes and monitors, but found nothing.
In fact, Xie Yuan used a particle-type listening monitor from the system mall. The anti-electronic equipment owned by the team fighting here makes it difficult to detect the existence of such a thing.
However, Xie Yuan is also willing to maintain this sense of mystery. Anyway, it will not bring any harm. He has now regarded this job as a mixed agency - although this position is indeed just a bench to dawdle.
After finishing the things he had accumulated throughout the morning, Xie Yuan directly organized the documents that needed to be accumulated and put them in the safe. When he saw the time, it was half past twelve.
"It's time to come back to life," Xie Yuan said to the noncommissioned officer on duty, then punched in and left the job under the helpless look of the noncommissioned officer.
It took twenty minutes to arrive at the dormitory where he lived alone. Xie Yuan opened the door, which directly revealed the entrance to the basement. Xie Yuan walked in and quickly closed the door.
Sitting in the darkness, Xie Yuan sat cross-legged again. This was a synthetic puppet made by Xie Yuan, cloned from his own flesh and blood and added with synthetic accessories.
The advantage is that you can establish a good alibi, making it easier for you to fish for yourself; the disadvantage is that you cannot use this puppet for a long time at one time, as it may be repulsive to the original body.
Therefore, Xie Yuan will return to his body within an hour and a half at most. This is a rough estimate.
Slowly my consciousness sank into the darkness... When I woke up again, huh? Why was there a smell of gunpowder smoke?
Asked, Xie Yuan raised his eyes and looked around. The terrain seemed to be...Eden Prime??
Eden Prime was breached?! Xie Yuan suddenly stood up in shock and looked at the surrounding area, which was dim and surrounded by a few rising smoke and dust. Between the sky and the earth, there were huge iron-gray squid-like machines walking.
!
"Buzz buzz! Chirp!" After the huge roar, huge, thick red laser beams hit the ground, triggering a series of huge explosions!
"Gulu." He swallowed the foam directly into his throat. "Tama's is simply more exciting than dodging a 105mm barrage!" Xie Yuan felt a kind of excitement filling his heart, which was an abnormal excitement.
"Ho ho ho!" Suddenly there was a roar from around him. When Xie Yuan took a look, he didn't know when a group of "mutants" were standing around him.
The only thing that is different from the mutated creatures in "Metro World" is that they have deliberately adjusted exoskeletons and natural epidermal armor that cover their entire body.
The gun in his hand was even connected to his body, constantly shouting at Xie Yuan, a "person" who shouldn't have gotten up in the first place. The sudden resurrection of a dead "organic living body" was beyond their imagination.
However, the doubts did not last long. They decided to "deal with" this abnormal individual again, but just as they were doing it, "Xie Yuan" suddenly disappeared in front of everyone!
As they looked left and right, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes...and then nothing happened, and they fell into eternal darkness.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Standing on the pile of corpses that had just surrounded him, Xie Yuan breathed heavily.
The new limbs were quite uncoordinated. After pulling out the two knives from the space, they almost lost their grip! Fortunately, I was able to kill these hostile "monsters" by unconsciously cutting through the mess with a sharp knife.
Only then did Xie Yuan, who had come back to his senses, have the leisure to look at his own hand - "Dang Cang Cang Dang". It didn't matter. He was so frightened that he dropped the knife!
His hands... each hand only has three fingers! Not two cut off, but real three fingers from birth!
The knuckles are green and look like lizard webs, and the back of the hand is black. I looked at my gauntlets... they are red. In fact, the armor all over my body is red.
The hem of the armor reaches the knees, and the feet have three toes just like the hands. However, there are no shoes, so I walk barefoot on the ground with bare legs, and the soles of my feet don't even feel scratchy.
"It seems that the person possessing him this time is actually an alien. It's a novel experience..." After careful consideration, Xie Yuan took out the mirror from the space and looked at his face -
