Chapter 659: Shepard's Hands-on Task: Surveying the Road to Freedom
Residents of the Road to Freedom, please note that this is an urgent notice: the evil alien race collectors are about to arrive at your place. They have kidnapped more than 200,000 borderline human residents and are preparing to conduct evil biochemical experiments.
In a secret Cerberus facility with a mainly white color scheme, Miranda, wearing a black and white tights, played the recording with a multi-purpose tool and said to the person opposite: "This is a video from the World God a few days ago.
The sound that plays on a loop on the galaxy's Freedom Path colonies.
Three hours after the siren sounded, the Freedom Trail completely lost contact with the outside world and disappeared."
The person opposite was a strong-looking female warrior wearing a special Starlink N7 battle suit. She had very dazzling red hair, green eyes, and some traces of exposed organic artificial nerve lines on her face.
She is Jenny Shepard. After two years of Cerberus's resurrection plan, she was finally brought back to life.
…
However, this newly awakened legendary warrior encountered a gunfire scene as soon as she woke up. She was urgently awakened by Miranda, and then had to drag her newly activated and exhausted body to start a breakout.
Her enemies are the security robots that originally guarded the entire base, but now these reset robots are massacring the technicians here.
Fortunately, she was not unarmed. Miranda on the radio not only provided her with an N7 armor, but also prepared a Ninja Dart heavy pistol and an M-100 grenade launcher for her.
As a weapons expert, with weapons in hand, she immediately transformed into the most dangerous war machine again, and made her way to the middle of the Tower Bridge, where she met the first living person - African-American security guard Jacob Taylor.
Jacob briefly briefed Shepard on his plan to resurrect her, but some of them she already knew from the data disk on the road: for example, she now has organs activated and maintained by a combination of biology and machinery; for example, Miranda
She is the commander-in-chief of her resurrection project "Lazarus" plan; for example, in order to resurrect her, a certain organization even spent 4 billion credits, and they did not hesitate to overspend...etc.
As for the ship... the Normandy has been completely destroyed, and the navigator Presley and several lower-level personnel were confirmed to have died in the line of duty - the only good news is that everyone else is still alive and just living their own lives.
Everything that has happened in the past two years has begun to shake her outlook and cognition, but the biggest question she doesn't understand is: who arranged to resurrect her and why?
But all of this was overshadowed by the desire to survive in the end. They were in a space station, and now they had to drive a shuttle to leave here!
During their escape, they also met a man named Wilson, who was the chief medical technology officer of the project to resurrect her.
Wilson expressed shock that Shepard could wake up, but quickly joined the escape team because there was only one escape route.
At the same time, in order to ease Shepard's doubts, Jacob had no choice but to violate the rules and tell the real person responsible for Shepard's resurrection plan - not some folk fanatics, but the notorious extreme radicals in the Citadel Council.
KB.Organization, Cerberus.
It turned out that one of her former mortal enemies saved her, which made Shepard's hard steel heart thunder. But on the surface, she still put on a calm expression that contained nothing but confusion to comfort the two.
The mood of Burruss's staff.
But when they rushed to the air valve with all their efforts, they were met by a woman. Wilson shouted: "Why is it you?! You're not——"
"Bang!" Miranda fired directly first, then looked at Wilson who fell to the ground mockingly, "Dead?"
Shepard was extremely vigilant and raised her gun to threaten this woman who shot at her temporary ally as soon as they met, but was immediately stopped by Jacob who came over because she was Miranda.
Then Shepard and Jacob heard a different version of the cause of the accident - Wilson suspected that Miranda was the culprit who made the security robot jump, but in Miranda's case, Wilson was the culprit.
The culprit that caused all this.
There is no point in discussing who is right and who is wrong, because now there are only three of them alive on the entire space station - and the most important thing is to send the resurrected Shepard to the real boss who resurrected her, the Illusive Man.
.
Shepard, who wanted to know all the truth, wanted to leave a long time ago, so he followed the other two people on the shuttle and left without any hesitation.
Along the way, she had to undergo interrogations from Jacob and Miranda to confirm whether her mental state and memory were intact.
Fortunately, she seemed to have passed - otherwise even she would have fallen into fear.
After arriving at another facility, the face-to-face meeting that Shepard thought he had had did not happen. It seemed that the Illusive Man was also afraid of what drastic action Shepard wanted to do.
After all, Cerberus and Shepard were closely related to the death of General Kahoku, and she had also cracked several research fortresses that used Solian compounds to control experimental subjects.
But in the end, the Illusive Man talked about the recent big crisis in the galaxy, which made Shepard temporarily calm down.
"We are at war, and although no one admits it, humanity is under attack."
The Illusive Man told Shepard that nowadays, humans throughout the border colonies are in a state of disappearing. No one knows who the kidnapper is, how they were abducted, and why.
The people and forces who do this are very much like the indoctrinated people like Saren and Geth who work for the Reapers.
The reason why the Illusive Man is willing to pay a huge price to resurrect Shepard is because he hopes to use her unparalleled influence and the prestige of having killed a Reaper to investigate and prevent this matter.
In view of the fact that the Illusive Man described the Star Alliance and the Citadel Council in an extremely unsightly manner, as if they were sitting back and watching everything that happened... Shepard therefore accepted the exploratory mission of this investigation and prepared to go to this newly disappeared colony.
.
So during the report, Miranda just played the warning signal about the colony on the road to freedom.
…
Listening to this warning signal, she frowned and asked Miranda for more details: "Can you tell me about the situation in the colony we are about to go to? And about this alarm signal?"
"The Road to Freedom?" Miranda shrugged, saying the information was mediocre. "It's a typical human settlement in the Kaishen Galaxy. They have a small military force deployed with robots and security aeroplanes to defend themselves.
.
But in fact, this kind of colony is nothing special in the local area. It is not very conspicuous at all...it does not attract other people's attention until it disappears.
As for the person who issued this alarm signal? No one knows who he is. He can locate the collector most of the time, but basically does nothing except warn the colonists in advance of the arrival of the collector."
Miranda made a mocking expression: "We usually call him the mourning bird. Because now the official refuses to admit that it is the collector's behavior, but puts the blame on the mercenaries and pirates - and the "mourning bird" is
The one who cried wolf."
After the red-haired woman chatted with Miranda for a few questions, she briefly talked for a while with Jacob, an African-American combat soldier wearing a combat tights.
So he followed Jacob and Miranda and left the facility on the shuttle.
Along the way, Miranda and Jacob promised to follow Shepard's instructions and arrangements. Although it didn't make Shepard feel any better, fortunately, the previous mission made her realize that the two of them were very skilled, and it was also helpful to be able to cooperate with good teammates.
She feels better.
However, neither Miranda nor Jacob knew anything about the situation on the Road to Freedom, or even the doubts left by the previous colonies - because either nothing was left behind, or nothing was left behind.
"Erase".
The reason why the Road to Freedom is better than other situations is that it has just been "harvested" and it has only been a few days since the star system not far from them received the warning.
There is no official exploration team, nor are there any pirates or scavengers who come to make money after hearing the news. They should be the first survey team.
Might be able to detect something useful.
However, after their shuttle arrived on the surface of the Freedom Road, they found a huge fluorescent sign guiding them to the appropriate landing direction.
"We're not the first batch anymore?" Miranda felt a little frustrated, and so did Jacob.
Because in their opinion, if they were not the first to come, some evidence would be destroyed.
At this time, there was a shuttle plane parked nearby, and its engine was even cold - it had been there for a while.
After passing through the door, the three-person assault team could clearly find that the smell of fireworks throughout the colony was still there, but everyone had disappeared - it seemed that they might have been eating just a moment ago.
However, what happened next was incomprehensible - a giant mecha that was nearly four meters tall and painted in a matching blue and blue-purple color was guarding the gate to stop a few... Quarians
Go in?
Oh my god?! What is this frustrating thing about arriving in the second batch? Is it that you actually found out that you were in the third batch?
But what are a group of Quarians doing here? And who is controlling this nearly four-meter-tall blue mecha? Why do these Quarians dare not move at all?
But unlike Shepard and Jacob's doubts, Miranda's expression became very shocked: "Why would he come to such a small colony?!"
"Him?!" Shepard looked at the huge mecha shell structure. The nearly four-meter height gap made the quarians next to him look as petite as teenagers next to basketball players. "Is he a human? Transformation
people?"
"It should be, but no testing institution will admit it."
Miranda speculated with a subtle expression, "But this is a man with very terrifying strength. Considering his title, I don't understand why he wants to stay here alone?"
"His title?" Jacob looked at his terrifying height, coupled with the blue Qingyang chest logo and the shoulder logo with bat wings growing on both sides of the skull, and suddenly a name slipped out of his mind, "Fuck,
Could it be that he is the Lord of Midnight, one of the consuls of the Qingyang Mercenary Group...(Gulu)...Conrad Curze?"
As the name of Conrad Coates was spoken by Jacob, the nearly four-meter-tall giant suddenly looked towards the direction where they were squatting and hiding!
"Fuck!" The three of them were stared at by a four-meter giant, and they all lowered their bodies subconsciously. Miranda even slapped Jacob angrily.
"Have you never heard of the legend that saying his name will attract his attention?" Miranda scolded Jacob angrily, "After you do this, we have no concealment at all."
"Shet! Shet! Shet!" Jacob slapped his mouth in regret and punished himself, "Who knew the legend could be true!"
And Shepard now has only one question: "Who is this giant? Why does he look so scary? Why have I never heard of this man before?"
"Friends Cerberus over there, Lieutenant Colonel Shepard, I've been waiting for you for a while, come down now!"
As a result, before Miranda had time to reply, a sound of voices that sounded as if they were far away suddenly rang in their ears.
The three of them stood up as calmly as possible, and saw the four-meter giant pointing three fingers at themselves, and then pointed them back at their faces: the meaning was obvious.
The quarians on the side were already looking curiously in the direction pointed by the giant - they noticed someone, but they didn't know who it was.
However, Shepard found a purple figure among them that looked familiar...
"Go down!" Shepard ordered. "It seems he has no ill intentions. We can go down and contact him first. Maybe they know something."
Miranda and Jacob also obeyed the order, so the three of them found a place and walked downstairs.
On the way down, Shepard asked Miranda: "Why do you feel nervous when you see him?"
"Hmm... Anyone who knows his record knows how terrifying he is."
Miranda said with a clear heart: "As the current leader of the Qingyang Mercenary Group who is responsible for the black mission, there is nothing special about him having never been defeated, and there is nothing special about his ability to fight against invincible opponents in the world.
But there is one scary thing - all the assassinations, investigations, and ambushes against him were easily solved by him, and even the enemies and assassins all disappeared... Some of Cerberus's agents also ended up like this."
"Many people suspect that he has precognitive abilities, but they don't know if it's true or not." Miranda looked at Shepard very seriously as she added to Curze's legend, "But no matter what, his series of killings quietly brought about
Fear is his best sign, and now no one dares to provoke him."
"You must be careful about him." Miranda reminded, "This person is both good and evil, his behavior is hidden and dangerous. We really don't know his position, so we must be on guard."
"I understand." Shepard nodded slowly, already thinking about it.
