The Osiris safely passed through the city of Denver, the stronghold of the North American HER Army, and even the fighter jets that were following the surveillance landed in Denver. It seems that after the death of Sasaki Musashi, the North American HER army does not want to cause any trouble until the new general arrives.

There is a new "scenery" in the bridge, that is, the "command bed". Because Captain Shepard's physical condition was getting worse and worse, he needed to recuperate in bed for a long time, but he couldn't always let Anton command everything on the ship in the ward, so he installed a "command bed" in the bridge with the permission of the doctor. Captain Shepard can command everyone while lying on his bed, and medical equipment and medicines are placed next to the bed, so that he can be treated in time if he has an accident.

Shepard got up from his wheelchair and was helped to lie down on the bed, already panting from exhaustion.

"It's embarrassing... How long will it take us to get to Seattle? ”

After Jessica Messenger fed the medicine in his hand to the captain's mouth: "As soon as this afternoon." ”

"Great... Let's put down the new Omei passengers and leave North America as soon as possible. ”

"Where do we go without North America?" Jessica asked.

Shepard tapped his finger on the railing next to the conductor's bed: "Maybe it's time for us to go back to the universe, I haven't forgotten the invitation of the Moore Chamber of Commerce." ”

"But... To go to the cosmic Osiris needs to be refitted, right? Lift-off orbits are also required. ”

"That's right, the lift-off orbits in North America are mostly under HER's control, and we may need to cross the Pacific Ocean to other places and ask the people there for permission to borrow their orbits, and we will need to pay them a lot of money to modify the ship."

Jessica sighed: "It would be nice if I could really go back to the universe, although Mycenae can't go back, but the dark and empty space of the universe is more like home to me." ”

"Don't you like Earth?"

"I used to yearn for it, but now I've been on Earth for a few months. The torrential rain and thunder here are simply incomparable to the simulations in the colonial satellites, and I don't dare to sleep under such air... While it's true that there's a lot to see, seeing the current situation in cities like New York and the refugees everywhere makes me... More homesick. ”

"This is the war, we can't go home until it's over, and we have to see the displacement of innocent people."

At this time, suddenly an external communication signal was requested, and the person who asked was the North American Rescue Alliance, Shepard immediately connected, and then forced himself to sit up, so as not to let others see his sick and weak state.

A man with a beard appeared on the monitor, introducing himself: "Hello everyone on the Osiris! Hello Major General Shepard! I'm Kobe Bryant, the leader of the North American Rescue League. Jordan, just call me Jordan. ”

"Hello, Mr. Jordan."

"Oh... You must be Major General Shepard. Seeing Shepard sitting on the bed, Jordan was stunned for a moment, until he confirmed that the background was indeed a bridge and not a ward, and then coughed and continued: "As the leader of the North American Revolutionary War, I must thank your crew for defeating Sasaki Musashi!" He is the number one enemy of the people of North America! Really, I still can't believe he died like that! ”

"Captain Jordan, I have a New Ommy Technician and Vice Speaker Robert on my ship, who are here to help you develop a new type of humanoid weapon."

"That's right! Yes, I remember. You've passed through Levo City safely now, and you'll be in Seattle soon, right? Please go directly to Lake Washington, right next to Seattle, and I'll send you the coordinates so you'll know where to go next! ”

The people in the bridge didn't quite understand what Jordan meant, and drove the boat to the lake? And where to go? But Jordan had turned off the communications, so he had to do as he did.

A few hours later, the Osiris arrived outside Seattle. As the base camp of the North American Relief Alliance, Seattle was a West Coast city that HER had not yet reached, and Seattle maintained its prosperity before the war.

The Osiris slowly entered the confines of Lake Washington with Seattle attached to it, and it was the first time that the citizens of Seattle, far away from the war, had seen such a large space battleship appear on their doorstep. Although the North American Rescue Alliance had previously told citizens not to panic, some citizens who feared that the fighting would spread to Seattle gathered on the streets of the city with protest signs, even if the Osiris did not receive their anger at all.

"Captain, we've stopped at the coordinates from Jordan, what's next?"

At this time, the Osiris was hovering over the lake, and Jessica expected the North American Rescue Alliance to contact them again or send planes to guide them, but what happened next almost made her jaw drop: a huge rectangular "black hole" appeared in the center of the vast lake, swallowing up a large amount of water. After a few moments, an open gate appeared in the center of the lake, and the water around the gate seemed to be enchanted, obediently avoiding it.

Bryant. Jordan's image appeared on the big screen again, and he said enthusiastically: "Welcome to the North American Rescue Alliance!" Please drop the boat directly into our cabin. ”

Jessica had not yet recovered from the shock of the shocking scene in front of her, and asked Shepard incoherently: "Ship, captain, isn't the Northern and North American Rescue Alliance not poor?" This, this, this..."

Shepard scratched his chin: "This... It should not have been built by the Salvation Alliance, but a relic of the former North American powers! ”

The Osiris descended slowly across the surface of the lake and into a huge cabin hidden under the lake's water. The gate on the lake is just the size of the Osiris to pass through, and the space in the cabin under the lake is large enough to accommodate 10 more Osiris!

The huge cabin was empty, except for the lonely guest of the Osiris. Jordan and his men arrived under the ship in a jeep to meet Captain Shepard, who was pushed off by Anton in a wheelchair a few minutes later, followed by Lynd, Barth, and the passengers of New Europe and the United States.

Jordan opened his arms with a smile and shouted, "Welcome again!" Major General Shepard! ”

His echo echoed through the huge cabin, and Captain Shepard looked up and exclaimed, "What a spectacle! Is this a legacy of the former North American powers? ”

Jordan proudly: "That's right! In the past, the North American forces had a special organization called the National Security Bureau, and the full name was too long to remember. They have an abbreviation, what is it called, I have forgotten! In short, this was originally their secret base, and during the Colonial Satellite Independence Movement, the former North American forces wanted to produce more space warships and send them to the universe several times to occupy more colonial satellites while there was chaos, so this place became their munitions factory again. It's a pity that HER declared war on North America before they were ready to finish it, and all the battleships built before were sailed out, so this place is now empty and has become our base camp. ”

Sergeant Anton asked, "I heard that your base camp was in Seattle, how did it become here again?" ”

Jordan waved his hand: "Seattle is just a front to avoid HER's eyes and ears, there are too many spies in the city." ”

Anton asked him a little angrily, "What? Are you taking the citizens of Seattle as bait?? Do you think you can fool HER in this way? ”

"No, no, no, if you look at it from a different angle, you'll see that we're protecting the citizens of Seattle. No, where is Vice President Robert? And what about the boy who slashed Sasaki Musashi in his hand? I'm going to treat you well! ”
