The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 505 Shepard's suspicion is about to face the big boss
"The second lieutenant is a little... seems a little sensitive..." Lianna said hesitantly.

"It's normal for him to have such feedback," Shepard actually understood Xie Yuan's ambivalence, "On the one hand, he's the same age as me, and I'm already a lieutenant colonel today, but he's still a second lieutenant, so he's very unbalanced." normal."

"It's different! You were promoted normally because of a lot of merit." Tully felt that Xie Yuan was a little unreasonable. "He doesn't have such outstanding achievements as you, so why would he be unreasonably jealous?"

But Lianna corrected Tully: "Actually, Second Lieutenant Yuan was also an outstanding non-commissioned officer on Eden Prime, and his achievements are not much worse than Shepard's.

But the only thing that seems to constrain him is luck, and the speed of his promotion seems to be very slow. "

"You really have the qualifications to be an intelligence collector."

Shepard admired Liana's ability, but he knew in his heart that luck was not the real reason for Xie Yuan's poor career, but prejudice.

Tuli also understood: "That's right, it's a bit strange that a second lieutenant is such a terrifying strength."

"We have a more complicated situation, and his problem cannot be explained simply at once."

But then Shepard showed a playful smile: "Why do I feel that his sudden outburst is premeditated, he is definitely planning something."

"Don't let me catch it, or... hum!"

In the corner, Xie Yuan, who had just put the half-dead Raikeni soldier bug into the space, suddenly shuddered.

"Hey! Who's talking about me"

……

In fact, Shepard's hunch was right, Xie Yuan's outburst was indeed not unprovoked, but he deliberately found an excuse to act alone.

Even if it's a poor excuse.

The moment Xie Yuan saw this kind of Leike Nai soldier worm, Xie Yuan received a random task from the system very rarely.

"Collection task 1: Capture Lekhni soldier insects, worker insects, 10 star coins (credit points) per soldier insect, 1 star coin (credit point) per worker insect, unlimited in number."

"Collection task 2 (optional): capture the queen of Rek-resistant insects, collection reward: queen pheromone (can temporarily control any bee swarm once.)"

The second Xie Yuan can choose to do or not to do it depending on the situation, because the rewards are very ordinary, and the queen is not so easy to deal with.

But the first one must be done, these are all money!
Leike Nai, today you can only belong to me!

When Shepard's three-person team arrived nearby and found the switchboard of the virtual intelligence "Mira", and followed the instructions to turn on the power supply in various places in various maze-like pipes, the road was quiet.

"It seems... there is nothing around, everything is so peaceful, honestly, where are the bugs? Where are the geth?" Tully looked at the smooth road, and couldn't help feeling a little chilly in her heart.

This kind of calm is too cautious. If it is really so peaceful along the way, then why are the turrets at the exit facing directly to our own side to prevent our own people from coming out?

"I think Xie Yuan should have walked through these places, that's why he's so quiet." Liana gave her understanding.

"How long has it been since we parted? What did you use to kill this?" Tully felt a little unbelievable, "And since he has been here, why didn't he help us restore the energy?"

"It is estimated that he doesn't know much about the operation process and is afraid of making mistakes, or he wants to make us dizzy for a longer time."

Shepard gave her guess, but she was also very curious about what kind of killer Xie Yuan hid, which would allow him to sweep this place clean and tidy as if he had entered no one's land?
In fact, except for some Geth troops who were smashed to pieces on the side of the road, Shepard and the others never encountered a bug again, not even the corpse or even the wreckage of the bug.

However, there were some body fluids of the Lekhni soldiers left in some places... maybe.

People can't help but wonder, what did Xie Yuan do to these bugs?
But there is no answer to everything for the time being, even if Shepard resumes the operation of the reactor, arranges the automatic equipment to come online, and the bus also resumes operation.

But when they came to the tram, they still didn't see Xie Yuan.

Now Shepard couldn't bear it anymore, she immediately connected with Xie Yuan, and it was unacceptable to be left behind: "Yuan! Where are you?"

But what filled her ears at this moment were endless "squeaky" sounds, noisy and sharp.

This made her a little worried: "Yuan, please reply! Yuan, are you still there?"

Fortunately, after this reminder, Xie Yuan finally got a reply: "Lieutenant Colonel, I'm here, what's the matter?"

"Where are you?!" Shepard asked bluntly.

"Me?! I'm at the "Crack" research station!" Xie Yuan's reply surprised Sanshui.

"But... But didn't the bus start running just now?" Shepard looked at the bus compartment next to him, not knowing how he got there.

"Oh! Leader, it's like this. The bus is not open, but there are still entrances and exits for the maintenance access." Xie Yuan explained heartily, "I crawled all the way through the maintenance access, and now I have arrived at the crack station up.

There are so many bugs here, it should be the real research site of Raikeni, the queen must be here. "

"Suck... breathe, hold on, Yuan, I'll come to you right away." Shepard took a deep breath, and immediately decided to meet Xie Yuan.

But this time Xie Yuan refused: "No need, Shepard, my hiding method is quite special, bugs can't see me, and your joining will disrupt my arrangement.

Hurry up to the rift station to appease the local civilians, and now I have to contain these bugs for the civilians of the research institute. Only by doing a two-pronged approach can they be appeased, and you can get the clues you want.

go!Maybe after you calm them down, I can come out later.Yuan out."

"Hey! Yuan?! Yuan! Mad, dare to hang up on me?!" Shepard pulled the bolt angrily, and ordered directly to the two people behind him, "Let's go! Find him, I will sternly Beat him up!"

Liana and Tully looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and followed Shepard into the bus.

Ten minutes later, Shepard, who came to the rift station, met J Vitalis, the security captain who is now in charge of protecting the surviving personnel of the rift station.

Unsurprisingly, Captain Vitalis didn't see Xie Yuan at all.

But hearing that his teammate was now in a place full of insects, Captain Vitalis' expression changed.

"Where is he?!" Vitalis was very nervous, because if a large number of soldiers and insects really gathered, it would be difficult for them to fight with their strength.

But Shepard didn't know either, because Xie Yuan just replied to them that he was already in the "Crack" research station, but he didn't come from the bus, but from the maintenance track.

But I didn't expect Vitalis to insist that this is an excuse: "The service from the Rift Station to the Central Research Station has always been fully automatic, and the manual maintenance channel was also abandoned a hundred years ago.

If he did arrive... then did he die? ! "

At this time, Vitalis showed a look of disbelief, and he told Shepard that the only way to get here without a bus was to crawl along the track from the icy cold environment outside.

But this is a level 1 biohazardous environment outside. After the operation stopped, it has not been switched to maintenance mode, so there is no heating equipment along the way. It is such a long road... Normal people can't even stay in the wild for 5 minutes.

Xie Yuan was wearing protective clothing, but... How much combat power does he really have after coming here like this?

It's hard for Shepard to say that he believes in Xie Yuan—under that kind of raging insect swarm, even himself in a good state may not survive.

But Xie Yuan has kept the radio silent!
There is no way, the three-person team of Shepard can only solve the plight of the civilian team first according to the agreement with Xie Yuan.

In fact, the Rakhni crisis did not happen recently. The Double Helix Company discovered a queen egg of the Rakhni Zerg earlier.

The researchers focused on the ability of the queen bug to control the soldiers and workers, and used it to hatch a large number of soldiers and workers-they wanted to obtain this ability to control biological weapons.

But it turned out that they screwed up!
It seems that the hatching without the participation of the queen bug will make these soldier bugs and worker bugs fall into a frenzy, so they break through the restrictions and start to wreak havoc throughout the research station.

Even though the security captain immediately restricted the operation of the bus, the swarm still captured the central research station along the track.

If it wasn't for the bugs not being able to adapt to the cold winter in Novilia, it is estimated that when they waited for Shepard to arrive here, Novilia would become the new base camp of Lake Nai.

It was also in this situation that Saren, who noticed the abnormality, sent Benicia to deal with the matter.

Shepard started his heart-to-heart activities, first helping the poisoned wounded, entrusted by the attending doctor, Dr. Cohen, to act as an action team, and went back to the blocked office of the Double Helix staff to find the antidote.

And successfully elicited a killer who has been lurking among scientists.

Alestia Alice, a guy who claims to be studying genetic variation among scientists, is actually ordered by the matriarch Benicia to eliminate Shepard.

Because Shepard is now completely trapped in the Chamber of Secrets, and she thinks she has found an opportunity, so she sends the Asari Stormtroopers and Geth Death Squad who are secretly hiding nearby to attack and kill Shepard.

But this centenarian has no age, no self-knowledge—how tough a Starfleet War hero Shepard is in armor.

Five minutes later, the burning corpses lying on the ground were all from Alestia's side, including her own body.

Unfortunately, one of the Elanus security sergeants, a Turian who was guarding the exit of the office, was murdered just like that—it is really unacceptable for innocent people to die because of blocking the way.

However, the benefits of postdoctoral Cohen after presenting the antidote are still great-Dr. Cohen is willing to give Shepard his pass, so that he can enter the maintenance area smoothly.

That's where the matriarch Benicia ended up.
