Chapter 674: Rescue the Reapers, The Frightening Truth
After the "passionate" handshake after a long separation, they talked about the past two years.
After all, Shepard and Xie Yuan have literally not seen each other for two years.
However, there is actually nothing to talk about - Xie Yuan has Coze here, and Coze is the new leader of the Qingyang Mercenary Group - the two people mixing together shows that they have a good relationship.
In this regard, Xie Yuan planned to tell the "truth": "Mr. Coze hopes to find an ally after suffering such a big loss from the Qingyang mercenaries."
"And Agent Yuan's combat capabilities have always been trustworthy - as a result, we successfully foiled the conspiracy and killed all the enemies at the same time." Cozz took over subconsciously, and then handed the body bag to Xie Yuan.
"Now that I have completed the cooperation mission - please allow me to resign. After all, I still have to gather my troops to clean up the battle debris, and even collect weapons." After saying this, he bowed slightly, and then with a business smile and hope
He said hello and left the clinic first.
"Eh..." Xili turned around and almost wanted to ask why, but soon realized that there must be some complicated calculations involved, so she could only remain silent.
"So this little sister is?" Shepard also watched Coze say goodbye and leave in acquiescence. It is possible that Coze has a close relationship with Xie Yuan, but Coze's attributes of the Qingyang Mercenary Group made it impossible for her to ignore him.
There is a powerful character with other positions - and in order to break the deadlock, she chooses to take the initiative.
"This is Xili," Xili said nothing, because according to etiquette, Xie Yuan, the person in charge, had to help introduce him, so Xie Yuan's answer was simple, "My apprentice."
Ciri also nodded to Shepard.
"Where is she from?" Miranda was suddenly very interested in exploring where she came from.
"Poland, a girl from an unknown town." Xie Yuan ended the introduction with one sentence, "She is a good melee expert and is good at using swords, so in addition to letting her learn to use guns, I also want to try
The two directions can fit together as one.”
"This is impossible, Yuan, you can't instill a backward fighting concept into a fledgling little girl."
Miranda objected with a slight smile, "Now is the era when firepower is king. You should let her learn to use guns more than cold weapons-pure cold weapons are seeking death."
"What you're saying is suitable for new recruits, but not for her - she has been a beginner in Western swordsmanship for many years and already has considerable attainments. She just went on two missions with me and performed well."
Xie Yuan's praise and appreciation without pause almost made Xili's cheeks warm a little - his performance was actually not very good, and the covert operation just now almost went awry... But in front of outsiders, Xie Yuan looked very...
The look of admiration made her even more ashamed.
She hated Miranda so much at the moment - what was she talking about so much about?
Xie Yuan didn't pay attention to Xili's expression - although he did say these words to encourage and comfort Miranda, in a precise sense it was to block her from further exploration - he could only say that this was a fight with him at this time.
The female agent I have known for a long time wants to get unknown secrets from herself again.
But Xie Yuan will not let go of his fingers easily this time - some things are given, and some are absolutely not allowed, such as teammates from another world.
Shepard was shocked that Miranda actually had a deep connection with Xie Yuan - only acquaintances could talk so casually, but also wondered why he should pay so much attention to a little girl?
However, strictly speaking, she was on business, not to see two acquaintances having sex with each other, so she immediately changed the topic: "Professor Modin, regarding the Collectors, they seem to use a strange technology that can create a kind of instant
A biochemical mechanical soldier bee that makes the target freeze and freeze.
The number of these soldiers is huge, so the colonies that were attacked were kidnapped with almost no resistance at all. We need to use your wisdom to develop countermeasures, otherwise we will not be able to deal with the collectors at all...
"
As he spoke, a video data was played from the multi-purpose tool - this was a piece of surveillance data on the Freedom Road of one of the colonies that had been attacked by the collectors.
I saw that the entire colony was invaded by a black swarm of bees, instantly submerging the residents of the town. A slight sting by such a swarm would immediately be covered by a layer of beeswax and freeze in place——
This is also the origin of the name.
"Hmm! Very interesting little thing," Modin touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then looked at Xie Yuan, but with a smile on his face, "Hmm! The environmental readings are clear, the virus is in the air
Density levels in China are falling, patients are getting better, Woyuan people are retreating - great job, Yuan, thank you."
Then he regained his strange expression: "But why did you bring two body bags? Do these two Woyu people you secretly brought over have any major secrets?"
"This is not a Woyun person...wait, professor, what did you say?"
Xie Yuan, who was just about to let go of the bag, paused when he heard Modin's words: "Did you just check whether there were any living people?"
"At least I just did a simple scan and you are alive now... But if you keep covering yourself like this, you will probably die."
Modin didn't understand why Xie Yuan suddenly asked such a question: "What's wrong? Could it be that he died just now?"
"Yes! At least he was definitely dead just now." Xie Yuan resumed the action of opening the body bag, and then revealed the body of the collector in the bag——
"A generous gift!
!" The three Shepards immediately took a step back and raised their pistols, aiming at the Collectors who were pulling away.
"Why did you bring this thing?!" Shepard shouted out of control.
Fortunately, everyone was already in Modin's private laboratory at this time, otherwise the sound would have to be transmitted outside.
"Could it be..." Shepard put away his weapon and thought secretly, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Is this the culprit of this plague incident?!"
But Xie Yuan gave a negative answer: "The culprit cannot be named, he is just a relatively high-level executor. The real man behind the scenes is still our old acquaintance - the Pioneer."
"How did you know?!" Miranda asked in surprise. She really didn't expect that Xie Yuan suddenly had such a huge amount of real-time information.
"How do you know?!" Xie Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at the beautiful agent, "It's very simple! The Pioneer just possessed these two collectors, one for each, and she announced her home when we were fighting.
.”
"Wait! The Pioneer will implant the will into each individual Collector?!" Modin raised his question, "How is this done?"
At this time, Xie Yuan, who was placing the collector on the experimental table, thought for a while, touched a black mark on the back of the collector's head and explained: "The specific reason depends on the subsequent situation, but judging from the situation of my rescue at that time,
It should be caused by an implant inserted into the brain from the back of the head.
The will-loading skills of the Harbinger Collector are quite overbearing. The bodies and minds of these two collectors can only be sustained for a few minutes before they completely decay. The Harbinger directly treats the possessed target as a disposable item."
"But now, it seems that you have saved them." Modin used the scanner to observe the physical condition of the collectors and then commented, "It's just that the bodies of these two collectors are very weak - I will need more in the future.
Do some intervention to stabilize their bodies."
"It's just a little trick. Fortunately, I will prepare a high-energy concentrated nutrient solution that can be used by such creatures to work together. Fortunately, the pioneer did not stay in the bodies of the two collectors for too long." Xie Yuanmian
I laughed at myself and said happily with luck.
But these words made the three Shepards confused - the first one to speak was Jacob.
"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said?" Jacob asked, were you serious just now? With an expression, "You just said, you saved them?!"
"Yes!" Xie Yuan nodded.
"Is there any reason?" Jacob spread his hands, his expression blurred, "I mean... they are already puppets... there is no way they will be normal even if you revive them."
"There is a possibility." Xie Yuan agreed with his conjecture.
"Then why did you save them?!" Shepard answered Jacob's question.
Xie Yuan thought for a while and then revealed his conjecture: "I am trying to explore the second possibility - after the pioneers gave up controlling the two unlucky guys, and I revived them who had just died - it seems
See if it's possible to get them back to normal."
"Interesting theory - but on what theory?" Modin also joined the discussion.
"There is no theory -" Xie Yuan shook his head, "This is a kind of intuition and whim, and I also tried it with the mentality of giving it a try.
If that doesn't work, just give them a shot in the head and let Professor Mordin do the dissection - Professor, will you accept these two experimental subjects?"
"Well... although I'm not very optimistic about it, science is about making bold assumptions and practicing carefully - you are right about this."
Modin looked at the two reaper bodies and nodded repeatedly: "It seems that these people have undergone very thorough and permanent unidentified transformations - of course I am willing to accept them - these are excellent research objects."
"Then I sincerely inform you that as long as you are willing to join the Normandy, we can provide a better ship biological laboratory than here." Miranda also suddenly interjected, "It will be convenient for you to conduct in-depth anatomy and
Observe and study carefully.”
"Hmm... Collector... Parasite... Mechanical soldier bee... Ah, there are so many interesting research subjects recently." Modin saw that the plague was finally suppressed, and he was in a good mood and wanted to join Normandy.
Express support for the proposal.
So Shepard and Professor Mordin, who finally reached a consensus, shook hands with each other and wished happy future cooperation.
However, a more exciting moment soon came - after Xie Yuan injected the second dose of high-energy concentrated nutrient solution into the bodies of the two collectors, they finally had some movement except for being comatose.
"Uh... uh..." After hearing the two collectors making noises on the experimental platform, a group of people gathered over and saw the two slowly waking up.
Of course, everyone observing except for Xili, Xie Yuan, and Modin were empty-handed - the latter kept the scanner on, and the other three quietly held their hands at the attachment point of the pistol in case of emergencies.
Encountered an unexpected event.
However, these two guys seemed to have suffered too much physical damage due to the loading of the pioneer's will, and their whole bodies were in a very languid and half-dead state of struggle.
It took a long time before one of them got up unsteadily, raised his head, looked around, and said blankly: "Jili... Jili gulu ga la?" Then he stared at Qi Feng and the others for a while, and asked: "Jili... ga la?"
La?"
He spoke a language that no one understood.
Miranda and Jacob subconsciously wanted to pull out their guns - in their opinion, the appearance of being unable to communicate meant that the cash withdrawal had not been successful.
Fortunately, Shepard, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stopped him - she couldn't understand him either, and even because these collectors had no eyeballs, she couldn't understand his look.
But she could hear the reason and confusion in this collector's voice - no matter what he was before, he was now completely different from the previous collector.
So she looked directly at Xie Yuan: Come wipe your ass for what you did.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan didn't know how to make them talk. According to their ability, Xie Yuan directly extended his hand.
The collectors all tilted their heads and were stunned—not out of confusion, but out of surprise. Then they stretched out their three-fingered hands and held them with Xie Yuan—"Boom!"
The collector tilted his head back, then let go of his hand. He seemed to be digesting the information he received for a while, raised his head and said: "Humans, Salarians... I didn't expect that they were almost half beasts and half animals back then.
It's so ironic that all civilized races are standing in front of me..."
"Who are you?" After Shepard heard that the Collector could communicate normally, he immediately approached and asked, "I mean, do you still have any memory of your past?"
"Me? I'm... uh!" Sure enough, the collector held his head and tried to stand up, but his feet went soft and he immediately fell to the ground. He held his head and looked in pain. After a long time, he said intermittently: "I
...I am...the Collector!...Oh no!...I am not a Collector!...I am a Prothean Warrior!...The Empire...fell in our...own hands?
We ended the empire!
!ah!
!”
After saying that, and suddenly falling into great mental stimulation, the collector collapsed on the ground. Modin rushed to check, and then ordered to Xie Yuan: "Your nutrient solution! Two doses, quickly!
He is dying."
Xie Yuan immediately took out two doses from his backpack and gave them to Modin, who injected the nutrient solution into the unconscious collector's body.
Xie Yuan also participated in the treatment at this time. The two worked together to lift the collector onto the experimental table. Then Modin picked up the tools and began emergency rescue.
At this moment, Shepard and Xili, who were retreating to leave space for Xie Yuan and Modin, looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Prothean?!
The Collector is actually a Prothean?!
"Now things are getting serious." Miranda said quietly.
