Chapter 542 Devils Around?

? Woo~~woo~~woo~~~!

Bursts of sharp sirens began to resound in all the guard areas of the Citadel space station and all places in the ring area, including every alley, every passage, and every building... Now basically all the People on the Internet, no matter what race they were, no matter men, women, young or old, basically heard the urgent and piercing alarm, and most people who cared a little bit about current affairs also knew what happened.

Numerous large and small emergency shelters were released by the refuges in the third guard area into the space outside the God's Castle, and they were arranged in an orderly manner. Countless patrol boats shuttled back and forth, and there were also large tugboats one by one. To recover those refuge warehouses, they worked carefully, trying their best to ensure the safety of the lives of those dignitaries or rich people in the castle.

And at this time...

Those C-SEC SWAT teams and patrols who were defeated in the third district have now completely abandoned the third district, and all retreated to the other four district cities. Patrolling the streets of the city, from time to time angrily grabbing a few scum of various ethnic groups who wanted to take advantage of the fire to fight.

Those who are stupid enough to fall into the hands of Turian C-SEC policemen at this terrible time will definitely fail! To become a tool for the Turian police to vent their anger must be indispensable. Maybe they will be accused of "suspected accomplice of the rebels" and handed over to the court of God's Castle for trial?

When the originally closed five guard districts of the Divine Citadel space station, like a big slap, spread out the guard districts and kept them far away from each other, the Turians stationed in the gods. The escort fleet around the fort drove one after another into the space directly above the city in the third guard area full of gunpowder.

Of course, their Turian fleet did not dare to use such outrageous methods as to directly bombard the guard area of ​​the Citadel with powerful weapons such as naval guns. Instead, they kept using those small-caliber rapid-fire close defense The guns suppress and disperse the armed mobs that appear on the streets, and provide a safe landing site for their Touareg soldiers who are using landing craft to land.

At this time, in addition to the turian warships driving out any rebels that appeared on the streets, more turian military fighter planes also began to appear in the sky above the city in the third guard district. Roaring back and forth, attacking any armed target they see that is not their own.

'team leader! "

"I haven't found any enemies on the street for the time being. They may have hid in the buildings to warm up. Do we need to bombard those buildings indiscriminately?"

Three turian space and atmospheric multifunctional fighter formations are cruising at a low speed less than 50 meters above a street full of gunpowder and flames in the third guard,

They needed to clear the streets of any possible enemies before the turian marines arrived.

However, now they have been flying for a long time, but they have not found any rebels at all!

Those cunning guys hid when they saw their fighter planes from a distance, and those hard steel buildings were like fortresses one by one. If there is no bombing, when the marines start to clean up If you engage in that kind of street fighting, you will definitely suffer big losses.

'no! The boss has spoken, it is strictly forbidden to use powerful weapons to bombard buildings and streets, because it may cause irreversible damage to the Citadel space station! '

'We can't do that without a formal order! '

Soon, the leader plane with the Turian number 030 on it, and the Turian pilot who seemed to be the captain on it, sternly rejected the suggestion made by his wingman 031 just now.

'...'

'team leader! I don't think it's because I'm afraid of harming the castle, but because I'm afraid of harming the private property of those dignitaries, right? '

"snort……"

‘I’ve heard from others that a building here can almost be exchanged for an advanced cruiser! '

"?!"

'A cruiser, man, is it really as far off as you say it is? '

At this time, 032, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected, his tone full of puzzlement and surprise.

'Outrageous? There are even more outrageous! '

'In the ring area, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a house in the outer ring! Not to mention the inner ring area... In the past, it was said that an Asari diplomat was about to retire. She sold a three-bedroom apartment and a storefront in the inner ring. Developed a livable planet and an interstellar cruise ship, and then went to retire! '

'...'

'Damn blue asari papers...what corrupt bureaucrats...'

"!!"

'Hey! Brother, you must stop talking nonsense about this, if it gets out, we will all be in bad luck! '

'snort……'

Seeing that there were no threatening enemies at all, 031 and 032 simply began to chat easily. After all, there are still more than a dozen turian cruisers floating in the sky above the third guard area and hundreds of them flying around. They are not worried that those thugs dare to rush to the street to die at this time.

For them, today's mission will be as easy and comfortable as an armed parade.

"What!?"

"Not good! Quick! Emergency evasion!"

At this time, when the two wingmen were chatting happily, the captain 030 seemed to have discovered something wrong in advance, and while making an emergency turn to the right, he suddenly gave his wingman an evasion order.

Whoosh! !

turn out to be,

When they flew past a tall building just now, a window was suddenly shattered from the inside, and while the gas in the building was pouring out crazily due to the difference in air pressure, a special police officer wearing a C-SEC Armed thugs with helmets and nondescript civilian protective gear appeared at the window. The other party carried a cylindrical object on his shoulders. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he suddenly fired at the fighter planes flying in the formation of the three of them. A missile with an orange tail flame was released, and it flew towards them with a rapid roar!

"Quick! Dive! Accelerate! Use the building to throw it away!"

The captain 030 and wingman 031 sped up and dived to the left in time, narrowly avoiding the missile's primary target lock, but because 032 fell behind and happened to be parallel to the building, he couldn't dive to the left, so he had to pull the joystick to move The engine of the fighter plane was pumped out at maximum power, and then it rushed to the sky with all its strength.

However……

032 seems to have made an unforgivable big mistake!

Due to the simulated gravity of the mass effect of the Citadel, when he left the low altitude of the third guard area and rose upward, his speed was seriously affected, and he was not as sensitive and easily reached high speed as he was during the space war!

'team leader! I can't get rid of it! I can't get rid of it! ! '

'No! ! ! '

boom! ! !

After a loud bang, the blue mass effect shield on the 032 fighter disappeared in a flash, and then the smoking fighter continued to fly upwards for less than three seconds, and the mass effect engine at its tail flashed, directly Just turn it off on the spot...

'team leader! ! '

"My Mass Effect shield is offline, engine overload stalls, can't restart! Repeat, can't restart!... I've been captured by the Citadel's artificial gravity, about to crash... I'm going to jump, I'm going to jump! !"

"My scheduled landing point is the West District, requesting support..."

As soon as the words were finished, the cabin of 032 was violently ejected, and then he, who was still sitting in an oval cockpit, was directly dragged by the weak emergency jumper who could only adjust the direction. The tail flame of the engine was thrown into the street far away, and I don't know if he died or not?

'damn it! '

'Command! Militants were found in the building on the 8th block. They have anti-air weapons. My team has been shot down by a fighter plane. The pilot's escape and crash point is the West District. Immediate rescue is requested! '

If he had been in the previous battlefield, he would have made a big circle and sent all the powerful weapons into the metal building just now, absolutely not giving any thugs inside the opportunity to take advantage of it!

However, this is the Citadel of God, and many things are not decided by the pilots at the bottom! They had to fight as the commanders above told them to fight, even if they were restricted everywhere, they could only fight in vain. If they dared to act recklessly, it would be considered light to send them to a military court.

"The landing module of the rescue team has set off..."

'030, record the enemy's position, the marines are about to sweep to the eighth block, please pay attention to the safe height! '

Sure enough, as Captain 030 guessed, the Turian frontline headquarters located in the flagship of the Turian cruiser fleet above did not think about the option of retaliatory bombing at all, and only asked him to record the mob The location of the building where they are hiding is just to provide a reference for the Marines who swept over later.

And this is the sorrow of these little Turians. In the highly hierarchical Turian Empire, they can't do much.

"Captain! Be careful ahead!!"

"No!!!"

Da da da! !

Just as 030 was busy slowly raising the height and intending to pull the fighter plane to a slightly safer height, suddenly, from several dilapidated gates of a building in front, a few people without wearing any protective gear jumped out all of a sudden. They aimed the C-14 Gauss rifles in their hands at the sky almost at the same time, and they were frantically strafing the two low-altitude fighters flying past them!

Da da da da da! ! !

boom! ! !

Already distracted, and a bit unable to dodge as the captain's machine 030 was hit by dense 8mm 'spike' Gauss bullets on the spot, and the mass effect shield was instantly offline, and then the fighter's armor, which was not too thick, was instantly destroyed The high-speed and powerful bullets shredded the armor and pierced through it, and were directly blasted by the volley in an instant, without even a chance to jump out of the plane...

Da da da! ! !

And the other 031 wingman who was less attacked was the same, and the shield was directly blown out by the enemy on the ground!

However, this 031 seems to have better luck, only the shield was broken, the engine on the left was smashed, and the engine on the right can barely work... So, by chance, it dragged its body full of gun holes and a tail The trail of thick smoke, before more attacks came, hastily lifted into the air and fled desperately towards the fleet above.

Almost at the same time, the near-defense small-caliber artillery of the cruiser fleet above retaliated and bombarded the city below! With a burst of fire, several Krogan and Batarian militants who were too late to retreat and hide were smashed into balls of flaming broken fireballs...

At the same time, similar situations are happening throughout the cities of the Third Ward.

Those poor people and thugs who rebelled from the 'foundation' world seemed to see that the warships and planes of the Turians would not shoot at the buildings at will? Afterwards, they took advantage of the defensive advantages of each building, and took a cold shot to beat those flamboyant fighters and small landing craft that dared to fly at low altitudes to crash, explode, or flee in embarrassment!

"asshole!"

"Turian warriors, for the honor of our Turians, for our Turian Empire, attack and crush their ignorant scum!"

"Remember, soldiers, all thugs with weapons in their hands will be killed, and no one will be left behind!!!"

At this time, in the only neighborhood park that has not been occupied by mobs, this block near the circle area, a Turian lieutenant colonel looked angrily at the fighter planes that would be beaten and fled by the mobs After a while, they cruelly looked at their surroundings. They had already landed, thousands of regular Turians, hundreds of special tanks for street fighting, and at least two to three thousand floating guns, auxiliary attack robots, etc. Wait for the troops to issue the general offensive order.

Moreover, he also issued a massacre order at the same time, asking the Turian soldiers not to accept any prisoners, so that all the adverse effects of this rebellion on their Turians would be passed on to those thugs!

Their general has issued the most severe order to him, the lieutenant colonel, asking him to completely clean up the ground city of the Third Guard District, which was ravaged by mobs, before tonight, regardless of the cost! As for the part of the underground 'foundation', it will be the long-term goal of the next combat mission, and it is not what he needs to care about now.

'go ahead! '

'go ahead! ! '

'Army attack! ! '

Soon, as the orders were issued layer by layer, countless Turian soldiers, robots, combat armored vehicles, and those fighter planes that were sneaked and shot back in the air and fled back slowly began to form, turn, and Under the cover of battleships and unreliable fighters in the sky, shouting the slogans of the Turians, they walked firmly and neatly, using armored vehicles and those cannon fodder semi-intelligent military robots as the guide, the third Starting from the block where the guard area connects with the ring area, it steadily presses up towards the end of the guard area.

In the next few hours, they need to recapture buildings, streets, and rooms from the rebellious thugs!

Although this combat mission is a bit difficult, with the help of countless advanced equipment and various war machines that are good at street fighting, they are confident to do it all.

"head……"

"Head... the leader!"

"Look, those Turian soldiers are coming, should we escape now... retreat first?!"

A timid Krogan thug spoke cowardly to their leader, but...he only got a cruel and bloodthirsty look, which made him shrink back again in fright, not daring to look at him again. Talk easily.

"..."

On the top of a low building about a mile away in the direction of the Turian army, behind the glass window of a room, the heroes of the 'Foundation' world led them, the people who were abandoned by the Citadel to revolt. The leader of the Krogan, Grant, is leading a group of heavily armed elite militants almost entirely composed of Krogan to guard the building.

Fortunately, the Turians did not order to directly attack the buildings with powerful weapons, and fortunately, the Turians did not know that the leader and main backbone of the rebels were here. , this time the rebellion in the third district will completely solve all the troubles.

Of course, the arrogant Turians didn't know all this, and they stubbornly believed that they could regain the city from the rebellious thugs at a relatively low cost, and they were confident that they would not pay too many casualties! Because they are the most powerful Turian regular army in the entire Divine Castle, they have the ability to do everything they want to do!

"Hmph! They won't be able to reach this side in a short time, so we don't have to rush to retreat just yet..."

"Well……"

"Have all the good things in the occupied area behind us been moved now, how far is it now?"

The leader of the Krogan uprising, Grant, looked violently at the dense turian army in the distance with his scarlet vertical pupils. After thinking about it for a while, he took an irritable breath and snorted. , turned to one of his subordinates and asked in a muffled voice.

"Boss!"

"Those things can't be moved. There are too many good things. We only have half a day to move, and at most we can move less than half of them!"

The green pick Logan who was asked stood up and answered in a low voice.

After they broke through to the guard city on the ground and occupied a large area of ​​land, their boss, Grant, asked them to send those poor people who were not equipped with weapons but were willing to follow them to the ground to rebel and fight hard. From the shopping malls, buildings, hotels, or other shops and residences they occupied, they plundered everything they could move or use, and moved all of them to their 'foundation' under the guard area. 'World go!

Obviously, their boss Grant was not dazzled by the victory, and neither were they. They also knew that fighting against the official forces of the Citadel on the 'ground' of the guard area would be a dead end! Therefore, they are very supportive of their boss's strategy of shrinking back after grabbing things after winning.

They were determined to rebel together, and they just wanted to live a better life, but they never really thought about dying in vain!

"Boss! You saw it too!"

"Now their turian planes and battleships are flying above us. It's really not easy to move those big guys. We can only slowly move the smaller ones from some small passages."

"What's worse... those damn nurses, they are too troublesome! The gap we blew up with great difficulty, they always want to repair it immediately. I killed several in the way just now, but they And more and more..."

When it comes to those nurses who will automatically repair the damage of the castle, and will only be beaten and will not fight back, this green-skinned krogan complains all the time! Those things have seriously hindered their carrying work, but the boss Grant has ordered not to kill them too much at will, which makes him very annoyed.

"Now it counts as much as you can move! Prioritize moving those weapons or things that are useful... After our front line of defense here is broken by those Turians, we will all retreat underground!"

"Hmph..."

"Those Turians, they will never forget them!"

After Grant pushed away the green-skinned Krogan's men arrogantly, he took two steps forward again, moved his ferocious face and red eyes directly to the window, and carefully stared at the distant Those menacing enemies, those turians who were said to be their krogan old enemies!

It is said that after the Turians quelled the Krogan's rebellion, they stepped on their Krogan corpses to take the throne, not only won the seat of the God's Castle Council in one fell swoop, but also deployed a goddamn Salarian invention Yes, a bio-weapon specifically targeting krogans called 'gene phagocytosis'!

Then, the krogan were reduced to the current situation step by step, and they could only survive on the planet Tuzenka, that barren and deserted planet, and became the lowest existence in the Citadel... If it weren't for him, Grand He was brought to God's Castle by accident, maybe he wouldn't even know about this kind of thing.

So today, their krogan's revenge against the turians can be said to be the first step.

"You! Quarry woman!"

"Our precious landmines...have they been laid? Don't let me down, otherwise, you will know what will happen..."

After seeing that the Turian army had almost arrived at the predetermined battlefield position, Grant suddenly turned his head and asked a Quarian next to him who was fully hidden in a chemical protective suit and asked in a cold voice.

【Spider Thunder】(Widow Thunder)

——It was transformed from the spider mine developed by Victor Kaczynski, a soldier of the Federal Rebel Army. It represents the future development direction of the Federation of Heroes' automated and intelligent suicide weapons, and has typical representative significance.

These war devices rely on four alloy explosion-proof limbs to walk on the battlefield. They can not only be remotely controlled manually, but also can be programmed to attack automatically! Once the key area is set, when any unidentifiable enemies approach, they will use short vertical take-off and landing jets, or mechanical limbs that can move quickly in complex terrain to approach the enemy at high speed, and when they reach Overload or directly detonate the small fusion reaction in the body after the killing distance, and generate a powerful explosion to kill enemy soldiers and armored targets!

"Of course it is, honorable Chief Grant!"

"Our engineering team has used super glue to wrap two to four deuterium-eight explosive devices on the back of each spider mine according to your request... If the turians get close, it will definitely be enough for them !"

boom! ! !

The Querry woman, who was also carrying a C-14 Gauss rifle on her back, had just finished speaking when there was a loud explosion in the distance!

At the same time, around the vanguard of the Turians' attack, mechanical spiders that seemed to be carrying some strange things on their backs were suddenly knocked out of the windows of the surrounding houses, or from the debris-filled The ruins of the street, or a gap that was concealed by a dead body jumped out...

Some of them directly turned on the injectors, and flew towards the enemy in a catapult posture! As for the other part, they simply performed S-shaped maneuvers on the ground quickly, and at the same time used the ruins and obstacles to avoid the shooting of the Turian soldiers and rushed at high speed!

Soon, whether it was those who were directly blown up by the elite turians, or those who successfully approached or rushed into the crowd of enemies, those who looked like spiders and were as big as puppies, soon violently Explode!

boom! boom! rumbling...

The small mushroom clouds instantly engulfed countless Turian soldiers, mechanical equipment, or heavy tanks that opened the way in the flames and thick smoke... Even, the powerful explosion wave also sent a lot of them into the air. Armed airships or planes that were relatively low were directly blown out, fell headlong into a distant city, and then made a relatively small bang when they fell.

"Hehehe..."

"Very well, that's it!"

"Ms. Quary, keep working hard. Just like this, arrange at least half the number of spider mines and deuterium-eight explosive devices for me in the streets and houses along the way! The remaining half should be enough to defend the 'foundation' Understand!"

Looking at the huge killing area and the enemy's tragic casualties in the distance, the krogan Grunt opened its big mouth, and issued his new order with a cruel smile.

"Yes, I will order it now, and it will be completed soon!"

The Querry woman nodded, turned around and walked briskly towards the door of this room.

It is not too difficult for a race like them that is good at transforming abandoned spaceships, second-hand ships, and recycling technology to arrange the active mines of that kind of engineering machinery! The only thing that makes them more difficult, maybe it is translating those unfamiliar programming languages ​​​​of Earth humans?

Those set instruction sets are very different from those commonly used by people on earth now, making it a little difficult for them to deal with! However, fortunately, those spider mines are standard weapons, as long as one is successfully deciphered and translated, it is very easy to set up the others.

"Hmph..."

"Brothers, please be careful, we will soon gain the freedom we deserve! But... before that, we must first show those Turians how powerful we 'Foundation' people are!"

"The people in our foundation world are not the dregs who in the eyes of their bureaucrats are only worthy of eating garbage!"

"When we show our fangs, they will know what fear is!"

"Aaagh!"

"Aaagh!!"

"Aaagh! Aaagh!!!"

A group of lawless rebels, a group of krogan slaves or mercenaries who are not afraid of death, raised their Gauss rifles and cheered loudly in this room.

Although the battle has just begun, in their eyes, it is as if they have already won the victory.

———————

Boom! !

The sound of a fist slamming hard on the metal table sounded.

"Bastard! Why are you detaining my Normandy II?"

"Do you know who I am? I'm leaving the port now, and I'm going to perform a major mission that concerns the safety of the entire galaxy. Why do you detain my ship and refuse to let it go? If you delay my mission, can you afford it? ?!"

In the D1 area of ​​the circular area of ​​the Citadel space station, in the D24 dedicated dock of the Normandy II docking area, Shepard is restlessly holding the metal tabletop with both hands, looking down at the customs office sitting behind the desk angrily human staff.

After the rebellion at the Citadel space station, Shepard realized that there would be trouble here, so she immediately ordered the crew to cancel their vacation and return to the battleship, and she herself took advantage of the rebellion without affecting the warship. When there were too many urban grounds in the guard district, a certain little guy was brought back!

It was the little girl who was standing next to her with an innocent face, looking around curiously!

"..."

(,,??.??,,)?

But who would have thought that when they returned to Normandy II and were ready to leave the port after resupply and testing, she, Shepard, moved a little slower. After the ban was issued, their spaceship, like the others, was blocked by the customs. People from the department detained and ordered to temporarily stop his release? !

Although she had expected this kind of thing, in the event of a rebellion in the Citadel, the necessary security checks and port closures must be necessary! However, what happened to her now, and her plan was delayed, naturally made her feel very upset!

"Of course I know who you are, Ms. Shepard, our hero..."

"I also want to let you leave here immediately, but... the order to seize all ships was issued by General Turian, who is in charge of the safety of the God's Citadel space station. The Turian said: After checking and registering all ships that call at the port No ship is allowed to leave port until the end!"

The human customs officer from Earth spread his hands innocently, indicating that he could do nothing about this matter, and told Shepard not to pester him again. Before the Turians lift the ban, even if the other party smashes his metal table, it will not help!

Because, now there is a huge rebellion in the third guard area of ​​the Citadel space station, let alone their C-SEC customs department, now almost all places are decided by the Turian general who is in charge of countering the rebellion !

At least, until the rebellion is quelled, or a new order from the council is issued!

"Those damned turians can't control me!"

"My current identity is still the ghost of the Citadel, and the council has just restored my identity! Therefore, I now order you to quickly release those magnetic armguards from my spaceship, and let us leave the port immediately!"

No way, after thinking about it, Shepard could only grit his teeth and reveal his identity as the 'Ghost of the God's Castle', intending to fool this human employee, let him turn a blind eye and let him leave!

Otherwise, who knows how long this Citadel space station will be blocked by those Turians?

If the blockade lasts for ten days and half a month or something, once her affairs are delayed until the arrival of the reaper, then everything will be closed, and everyone will not want to live!

"Sir Shepard..."

"I have just detected your identity as the ghost of the Citadel, but I advise you to wait patiently!"

Shaking his head, even if the other party brought out the special identity of the ghost of the castle, even if the other party could indeed order him to let him go, but the human customs staff still shook his head and sighed and refused the other party.

"Why?"

"Could it be...those Turians issued strict orders for military control?!"

Seeing the reaction of this human C-SEC customs officer, Shepard thought for a while, and seemed to think of something not very good.

"Yes!"

"We have just received an order from the Turian fleet to seal the port. Now if any spaceship dares to leave the port before the investigation is completed, the turian cruiser outside can be sunk without notification!"

"So, Chief Shepard, I advise you to think twice before acting?"

You can see the huge Turian cruiser fleet in the distance by pointing to the corridor outside. The human staff of the Customs Department explained this sentence in a consoling manner. In this situation, no matter how good the performance of the Normandy II is, it will definitely not be able to escape the siege of those turian warships just after leaving the port!

He didn't want to see that new, beautiful Normandy II being smashed straight into debris floating in space.

"hateful!"

Boom!

In anger, Shepard once again clenched his fists and beat the metal table viciously, causing the human employee to glare at her innocently.

"Did they say how long it will be closed?!"

Turning his head to look at the turian warships outside, looking at those ferocious gun muzzles, Shepard still put out the idea of ​​forcibly breaking out. Because she also knew that at this distance, even if the Normandy II could be invisible, they would definitely not be able to escape before their speed increased.

"Sorry, I don't know!"

Continuing to shrug his shoulders, the human employee just leaned in his chair, crossed his arms and looked at the woman who came to his office and lost her temper.

"However, I can reveal a little information to you. Anyway, you can find it with your ghost authority in the castle?"

"It is said that the Turians captured some of the weapons of the rebels. They plan to check all the ships that have called in the port recently and their unloading records. They want to find out who said that the weapons and equipment were transported to the Citadel and handed over to those 'foundations' of the poor of the world?"

"So, your Normandy No. 2 must also be on the key investigation list, because the time of your visit is really a little coincidental..."

After the human staff of the C-SEC Customs Department operated on their work terminals for a while, they showed Shepard, who was standing in front of the desk, a check list, on which the name of Normandy No. 2 also appeared impressively.

"But apart from supplies, we don't have any unloading operations at all!!"

Hearing that it turned out to be this matter, after checking the list for a while, Shepard glared at the human staff of the C-SEC Customs Department again, hoping that the other party would give him a satisfactory explanation.

"Of course it is!"

"Our records and monitoring did not find any signs of unloading or 'smuggling' of bulk items on your spaceship... But the Turians don't believe us!"

"Ms. Shepard... Anyway, you are innocent, let them investigate? I think it will take half a day at most, and it is time to investigate this port stop. You should go and rest for a while!"

After taking back his own terminal from the other party, the human staff of C-SEC began to chase people away. He still had a lot of work to do, so he didn't want to continue wasting time with this powerful woman.

"..."

"Strange, those weapons... How did the guys in their 'foundation' get it? Could it be that someone really wanted to smuggle so many weapons to them?!"

Shepard didn't leave the customs office, nor did he pay attention to the human staff who was busy with his own affairs, but crossed his arms and began to think.

The 'foundation' world of the Citadel of God is a complicated area, no policeman would want to go there, and of course, no policeman would let those guys out at will! That place is like a prison, or a place of exile. Sometimes, some criminals are thrown into it and left alone, and then they are never seen again, as if the world has evaporated...

In the world of 'Foundation', not many people knew what would happen inside, and even Shepard himself only knew a little bit, knowing that it was a slum-like world, that's all.

"..."

"Sister Shepard, since I can't leave the port now, how about I go out to play for a while?"

('???`)?

Anne would not tell the other party that she sold the weapons in the hands of those rebels! Anyway, no one can find evidence for such a thing, she is just a little girl, who would believe that she can conjure up a lot of ammunition? Who would believe that kind of thing that no one would believe?

"Okay, remember not to run around, only in the ring area!"

Feeling that he is also waiting now, and there is nothing to do, Shepard waved his hand with a headache, signaling the little guy to find a place to run wild!

Now, all the passages to the guard area have been closed, and she can only move in the ring area, so she is not afraid of any danger from that little guy.

"Okay! I went to play with the little bear, see you, Sister Shepard!"

"I'll go back at dinner time!"

(???)?*??*?

After speaking, Annie cheered and ran out of this boring customs office with her little bear in her hands.

(…)

(Stupid earthlings, the culprit you are looking for is by your side...)

(●￣(?)￣●)

"Shut up, Tibbers!"

(▼ヘ▼#)

———————

It is still Anderson's spacious and bright human council member's office. Now here, when Shepard and the staff of the C-SEC Customs Department are entangled, all the high-level members of the Citadel Council are gathered here. Yes, they are now We are in an emergency meeting!

In addition to Anderson and the Udina consultant who came to listen after hearing the news and ensured that Anderson would not make low-level mistakes, there were also holograms of council members from Asari, Salari, and Turians! Of course, the Turian military general who is in charge of the safety of the Citadel must be indispensable, plus a C-14 improved assault rifle that is also being projected in the middle of Anderson's office, and the information on the rifle and the information on it. nameplate!

【C-14 "Penetrating" Electromagnetic Rifle】

Caliber: 8mm

Features: Fires metal spike bullets at supersonic speeds...

"..."

"Sorry everyone!"

"Our Earth military has never researched or produced similar weapons... Look, this weapon... is still in the Koprulu sector and the Federation of Heroes?"

"This is simply a big joke!"

"I never remember that our Earth Star Federation has such a colony, or a federal country... Also, that 2500 year is even more ridiculous! General Turian, could it be that you traveled through time and space and brought it to me from the future? This weapon?"

In front of all the members of the council, Anderson carefully studied all the data and structure of the rifle, and then he burst out laughing heartily after he was filled with admiration.

"Honorable General Turian!"

"Before you frame our Star Alliance, could you please make the evidence more realistic?"

"Please also take a closer look at these metals... this kind of processing technology... and these firing devices... this small fusion reactor... tsk tsk, it's amazing! Such a small and fusion reactor is simply beyond My imagination!"

"At the same time, the name of the foundry, the scientific research institute, the federal Mistaff 4 planet... Unfortunately, as a general of the Star Alliance, I have never heard of these names!"

Looking at the data and analysis results on the holographic image, after finishing the operation, Anderson disdainfully despised the Turian general who just poured dirty water on humans.

The opponent's little trick is really clumsy. If this kind of thing can be used to slander the Star Federation, then all the members of the council here are a bunch of idiots!

"Member Anderson... Could this have something to do with Cerberus?"

"..."

"I'm feeling it too!"

"As a Turian member, I also feel that our general's words seem inappropriate..."

"Yes, I also think this may have something to do with our previous things..."

At this time, after the three council members exchanged glances with each other, Councilor Asari spoke in a cryptic manner.

"?!"

"Member Asari... Could it be that you mean Shepard?"

At this time, Udina hurriedly grabbed Anderson's arm who was about to say something, and took two steps forward, standing directly in front of the three council members and General Turian's holographic projection, directly blocking Anderson's thoughts. something to say.

"Everyone!"

"Shepard is now working for Cerberus, and they just came to the Citadel at this time... This is indeed very suspicious..."

"However, in any case, this kind of thing should not be used to slander our Star Federation!"

"That Cerberus organization is still on our Star Federation's most wanted list until now!"

Udina took a slight step to the left indiscriminately, and once again blocked Anderson who was about to step forward to defend Shepard.

"For what is happening in the Citadel, we, the Star Alliance, express our regret... But we guarantee that the Star Alliance and Cerberus, or those terrorists, have absolutely nothing to do with each other!"

"We seriously protest any false accusations against us!!"

Udina justly stated the Star Alliance's position on this matter. Now that the matter in the third guard of the God's Castle is so big, anyone who gets involved will be in trouble!

Therefore, he must first remove humans, or at least the Star Federation, from them first! As a matter of fact, Udina can guarantee that this matter will definitely not be done by their Star Alliance! If they really have that powerful individual weapon, how could they provide it to a group of terrorists first?

Those Gauss weapons that do wonders for Mass Effect shields, they're hiding before it's too late! And of course, those miniaturized fusion reactors! Now that the number zero element is increasingly scarce, the energy used for nuclear fusion is all over the universe, and it is very easy to find!

"Really? Huh! Who knows if you have any relationship?"

Obviously, General Turian, who was eager to find a scapegoat, didn't intend to get rid of the suspicion of humans so easily, even if he couldn't slander the other party, he still wanted to let them get into trouble!

"Members of Congress!"

"I can guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Shepard! Even if it is Cerberus, they should not be able to make this kind of weapon! Whether it is those missiles, rifles, nuclear grenades and smart spider mines, it is a huge If I am not sure that I have never heard of the so-called Federation of Heroes, I almost thought that a certain country supported those terrorists!"

"So, I don't think this matter has anything to do with Shepard or Cerberus!"

Ignoring the eyes of the Udina consultant next to him, Anderson angrily stepped forward and roared, defending Shepard without any reason.

"It's hard to say...Anderson, you and I both know that they can even save the dead, so what's so strange about making some advanced weapons or copying another more advanced Normandy II?"

At this time, Councilor Turian taunted him lukewarmly. It may be true that the Star Alliance did not do it, but it is hard to say if Cerberus did it.

"..."

"Shepard is in the Citadel? She is still alive? When did this happen?"

The Turian general was suddenly a little stunned.

Originally, he just wanted to embarrass the human beings, and then force the other party not to make things too difficult for Turi in this matter. The nameplates on the weapons of the rebel thugs have a very different relationship with the Star Alliance. Except for the characters of the earth, the others have no meaning at all, and they are not conclusive evidence!

"Just now! They stopped at D1 Normandy Pier: docking area D24"

At this time, the Salari MP said something lightly.

"Very good! I will send someone to arrest and investigate them now!"

With his spirit refreshed, General Turian planned to launch his own actions! He has disliked that Shepard for a long time, now that he has a chance, let's grab it first! Then, if she didn't do it, he also has a way to make it her!

"Wait first!"

At this time, without waiting for General Turian to leave, Udina quickly reached out and called to stop him.

"Members, this is a big matter. I think, for the sake of fairness... so that Shepard or us humans will not be wronged, this matter... it is best for us to send a representative from each of the four races to conduct a joint investigation? "

"..."

"..."

Members of the three races looked at each other and nodded.

"Consultant Udina, you are indeed a wise human being. This proposal is very good, and we gladly accept it!"

"Yes, we will send representatives!"

"The representative of the turian is our general..."

"Then, goodbye, I hope to see the results of the investigation soon."

Soon, the members of the council of various ethnic groups turned off the holograms, which can be regarded as setting the tone for this troublesome matter.

"..."

Anderson heaved a sigh of relief as he watched those guys leave. Doesn't this matter seem too bad?

"Anderson, you almost got into big trouble just now!"

Udina glared at Anderson viciously, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head and left bitterly.

Not to mention, for the investigation of Shepard and Normandy II, he must be the representative of the Human Star Federation, and then he can adapt to the situation.

In any case, this matter cannot be related to humans, at least not to the Star Alliance! If Cerberus really did it, then Shepard would have to sacrifice it!

"..."

"Sure enough, it's not unreasonable for me to hate those politicians!"

Watching Udina and the congressmen leave, Anderson shouted, turned and looked out of the window: there, over the city of the Third Guard, warships, landing craft, and fighter planes were flying here, the battle on the street, the thick smoke The flames rang together! But anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the rebels are pushed back to the 'foundation' or completely wiped out.

As for his own speech just now, Anderson didn't think there was anything wrong. If those rifles were a little more advanced, he might not dare to make a sound, but now, he doesn't think that Cerberus is capable of making that kind of another weapon. The electromagnetic Gauss weapon of the system is a mature weapon of war, and it cannot be obtained by just doing a few researches!

Fortunately, he just secretly copied all the information of the weapon. Presumably their Academy of Engineering of the Star Alliance must be able to reverse-engineer it, right? The kind of weapon that can easily break through the mass effect shield and the ability barrier is a good thing!

It would be great if we could catch a thug who knew the truth and ask the reason... However, this matter is handled by the Turian, and he doesn't want the other party to get too much... ...
