Chapter 139: The Ancient Beacon
After leaving the warehouse area, they rushed to the excavation area. There are no pop-up windows on the net, and if the beacon has not been destroyed or transferred, then they are most likely to find the beacon there.
Soon, it was at the suspension station not far away. The three of them meet another group of Jace. Unlike the previous ones, this team has "Jace Elite", a "Elite Monster" that is close to 3 meters tall, fast, thickly armored, and has fierce firepower.
There were two or three elite Jaces and about two dozen regular Jaces in the team. The three of them had to make a few minutes of left and right turns in the station to eliminate them all.
During this period, Shen Chao's shield called the police several times, and bullets flew past him several times. Kayden was lying in the corner, holding on to the barrier. From time to time, Jenkens cooperated with Shen Chao to gather fire to kill a Jace. Only Shepard played with ease.
After the start of the war, she broke left and right alone. Shuttling left and right in the rain of bullets, there were few beams of plasma that could hit her nearby. I saw that she exuded a powerful ability field all over her body, and she seemed to be throwing all kinds of ability skills as if she didn't want money.
Jace was thrown into the sky with her abilities, and then freefell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. Or be wrapped in a powerful field and crumpled to pieces.
From Shen Chao's point of view, she was almost like dancing in the rain of bullets. Jace, with his thick shield, was like a toy in her hands. However, Jace's elite is a little too big to be taken out by her with just two moves.
Seeing the pressure on the rest of the team on this side, she made a gesture and led the two Jace Elites to the side, apparently trying to solve the two heavy armor targets by herself. And the gesture she made before meant to let Shen Chao and them solve the rest of Jace by themselves.
Shen Chao understood her gesture, but he wasn't happy at all. Because there were still a dozen fully shielded Jaces in front of him, who were using the weapons in their hands to concentrate fire on them. This makes it difficult for them to organize an effective counterattack.
Thinking of this, he took off the heavy armor outside without hesitation. And quickly took out the mask and helmet of the nanosuit from the small bag behind him, and after putting it on, he immediately activated the stealth mode.
The reason why he hadn't used his nanosuit directly before was because the various optical camouflage armor in the Mass Effect world were still expensive, and he couldn't explain the origin of his nanosuit. But the current situation is so critical, and he doesn't care about such a little trouble.
After all. Optical camouflage isn't a high-tech thing. Even the main plane has some prototype technology, and the world of Mass Effect just hasn't been widespread yet. He could have made up a good story to explain the origin of his nanosuit.
After turning on stealth mode, he ignored the startled Cayden and Jenkens. From the flanks, he carefully circled behind the Jaces. At this time, these dozen or so fighters were still concentrating their firepower to advance the battle line little by little. The space that can move around in Kayden is getting smaller and smaller.
Seeing this, Shen Chao threw the two grenades on his body into the middle of the group of Jaces from behind. If there is any technological progress in this era, it is chemical energy weapons. These two grenades were not very powerful. It's just that it can destroy a few Jace's shields.
But that's enough. Shen Chao raised his gun and fired at the 7 or 8 unshielded Jaces, and immediately knocked down 5 of them. Without waiting for the other Jaces to gather fire on him, he turned on stealth mode again and ran away.
For the next two minutes, he ghostly appeared in all directions, with the energy of Kayden and them. Soon all of these Jaces were smashed into a pile of scrap metal. It wasn't long before Shepard returned from the side, and it looked like the two heavy Jaces were still taking her time. …,
Shepard was a little surprised by their efficiency, but after seeing Shen Chao emerge from the air, she understood.
"Very handsome armor, corporal." Where did you buy it? She wasn't surprised by his armor at all, she just wondered she hadn't seen this model of stealth armor.
"This is a gift from an old friend, if you want it, just wait for me to see him next time......" Shen Chao took out the rhetoric he had prepared two days ago. The story isn't perfect, though. But at least logically there is no problem.
They also don't have time to waste here. Shepard was only surprised by his level of equipment for a moment, and then he continued with them. Shen Chao didn't put that heavy armor on his body anymore, and he could now exert his full combat power.
They took a cursory look at the wreckage in front of them, then sat on the large freight platform at the station and headed for the excavation point in the distance. Shen Chao took advantage of the few minutes on the road to briefly convey Nerus's words to the slope. And made it clear that Saren was an anti-human.
"Great, just kill this Salen. I'm going to be a hero, and then the council won't have any reason to oppose me being a ghost. Hehehehe......" Shepard frowned and thought for a moment, then actually smiled. In the end, he laughed nervously. A few people next to me were hairy.
The rest of the team wasn't as optimistic as she was, and the situation on the ground was far more dangerous than they had expected before they landed. The "ghosts" of the Citadel are always dangerous characters, and due to their extrajudicial immunity, they are more like they wear an invisible layer of body armor. No matter how you look at it, it's not like a few of them can pull off the horse casually. But this is not the time to think about that.
After getting out of the car, the combat detectors on the armor of several of them sounded an alarm almost simultaneously, and the combat detectors detected several activated tactical nuclear weapons nearby. I didn't have to walk a few steps before I met one.
Without the ramp command, Shen Chao climbed to the nuclear bomb and used the universal tool in his hand to overrelax. A universal tool is indeed a good thing, and under normal circumstances, dismantling such a tactical nuclear warhead requires a whole box of tools and delicate and complex operations. In the end, there will be a bit of luck.
But in this day and age, a single universal tool can make a cameo appearance in everything from a screwdriver to a computer. With the help of universal tools, the dismantling of nuclear bombs is no longer a high-tech task. It's a soldier who basically disassembles complex panels under the guidance of a universal tool.
The multi-tool chip implanted in Shen Chao's arm is a military type. Naturally, there are a large number of bomb disposal assistance programs. According to the guidance of this set of military auxiliary procedures, it took him less than 20 seconds to disconnect the control panel of the first nuclear bomb from the bomb body.
Immediately after that, the three of them rushed to the second floor. Prepare to dismantle other nuclear bombs in the vicinity. One up to the second floor. In the distance, a burst of fire covered it. It's Jace again, and it's met again. A group of Jace elites. Under the command of the slope, the three of them crossed to cover Shen Chao and asked him to dismantle the nuclear bomb.
After blasting a scarred "Jace Elite" with a high-firepower mode at close range, Shen Chao put down the gun in his hand and immediately began to dismantle the second nuclear bomb. This one was okay, and it was finally dismantled in 30 seconds.
Get up and take a look. There was already a Jace Elite leaning closer. However, even its tank-thick shield could not hold back the concentrated fire of several people, and it was blown up after a dozen seconds.
There were still a dozen or so ordinary Jaces in front of them, and their fire was so fierce that they could only be seen through the smoke by the equipment on their helmets.
Looking to the side, Cayden was completely lying behind cover. It looks like the shield has been broken, and I don't dare to show my head for the time being, so I can only shoot roughly. Jenkens was in a similar situation, basically unable to take the lead. …,
Even Shepard looked like he had only about half of his shield left. The space here is too small to play to her strengths. And it looks like she might have used her ability too often just now, and her face isn't looking good at this moment.
The situation is quite critical, and although these Jaces will certainly not be able to beat them, as long as they hold the group for more than 10 minutes, then they are considered successful. After all, as long as the nuclear bombs explode, it doesn't matter if they win or not. Shen Chao also looked at the countdown carefully,
He knew very well that if things didn't go well, he would immediately send himself back to the main plane, and he had no interest in being blown to powder here.
Seeing this, they have two options, one is to destroy all Jace in front of them, and then dismantle the nuclear bomb in the distance. Or, after thinking about it, Shepard decided to let Shen Chao go and dismantle the nuclear bomb in the distance first. A few of them stayed behind to eliminate the Jace.
After receiving the task, Shen Chao turned on the stealth mode again, quickly went around behind them, and then dismantled the last nuclear bomb smoothly. By the time he was disarmed, the nuclear bomb would explode in 3 minutes. After disarming the nuclear bomb, he and the others quickly killed the remaining Jace.
While searching for beacons around, several people eliminated a few wandering corpse spirits, and finally found the target of this mission in a clearing, the Prosin Beacon, which had just been excavated not long ago.
At this time, information also came from Normandy that the enemy had retreated. So the slope began to report the situation of the beacon, and Shen Chao began to collect the loot nearby, and Kaiden, naturally, ran to trigger the beacon plot. Shen Chao didn't have any intention of stopping it. He didn't think he had Shepard's character.
Soon, after seeing that Cayden was too close and pulled off the ground by the beacon's position without warning, Shepard rushed forward without hesitation to pull him away. At the same time, she herself was sucked to death.
Shen Chao also rushed over at this time and grabbed Kaiden, who had just escaped and wanted to go over to help, to prevent him from destroying the plot. After a few seconds, the beacon successfully imprinted the ancient information into Shepard's mind.
An explosion followed. Shepard was thrown out by the explosion. Unconscious on the ground. Seeing this, several people hurriedly rushed forward to roughly check the state of the slope.
