Chapter 577: An Unexpected Visitor and a Distant War

After finally making sure that they could safely take away the loot, Shen Chao immediately ordered all of them to evacuate, and it took them a few hours to evacuate the equipment and people on the scene, and they also covertly picked up a few wild boar beast spies they had sent before. After evacuating all personnel and loot from the site, they finally returned safely to the crossing area of Space Station Zero.

Here Shen Chao and Hargret separated, and the latter, surrounded by a group of researchers and expedition members, took the think tank generator they had just brought back safely through another space-time portal to a plane dedicated to dangerous scientific research projects.

The operation of the Aura Plane has also entered the end of its phase. Although there are still a few unfinished parts of their plans, such as the large number of captives of the Star Covenant who still need to hand over to the kamikaze martyrs.

However, considering the many new challenges encountered by the expedition team in the near future, Shen Chao decided to let the whole team rest for a while, and then let Demien lead the team back to take care of these finishing tasks in a few days, while he himself would start to work on stabilizing the situation in the rear.

But in reality, his idea was somewhat redundant. By the time he returned with his team, the situation in the rear had already recovered. All those suspected of creating and participating in the riots have been dealt with, and there is no need for him, the supreme leader, to intervene in these efforts.

In this way, Shen Chao did not participate in these civil affairs as he wished. After confirming that the main planners of the riot would be punished, he turned his attention back to other areas that needed his attention.

In addition to official duties, the most important thing for him to care about in his private affairs is naturally his girlfriend Alice. While their scientists have confirmed that Alice is not in any health threat due to the enhanced abilities, she herself does not spread any biological dangers.

However, after a period of quarantine, Alice seems to have enjoyed a life away from the hustle and bustle, and instead of returning to her post after the quarantine, she flew to the second base of the main plane by shuttle.

At this time, the main plane has been abandoned by the expedition for a long time. There are also only a few drones inside and outside the second base that are maintaining the basic operation of the base. With the exception of a space station zero in Jupiter's orbit, the main plane can be said to be completely devoid of space-time councils.

Compared to the super-strong sense of existence of the council in some other familiar planes, this is already one of the most susceptible to the influence of the space-time council. That's why she chose to "live in seclusion" here.

The previous series of events, especially her failure in the mother plane, had left her tired. And only in the mother plane, where no one knows her true identity, can she find the peace she needs. When Shen Chao arrived at the second base on a shuttle, Alice, dressed in a bikini, was basking in the sun on the beach.

See a whole fleet of shuttles and escort fighters flying towards the airfield to land. She sighed softly, reluctantly put down the magazine and drink in her hand, then reached out and easily used her ability to pull the clothes not far away and put them on, and then she flew into the sky with a light jump.

With Alice's abilities significantly enhanced, it has become very easy for her to use the dark energy field to distort gravity to fly. Now she is used to flying around in the open instead of walking slowly on her legs.

Immediately after she arrived at the second base a few days earlier, she ordered the expulsion of several soldiers who remained here and issued an order to blockade this base. Except for a few people such as Shen Chao who have the authority to ignore this blockade order, it is impossible for other people to enter the island at this time.

Of course. Considering the motive, it can only be Shen Chao who landed on the island at this time. Although she still didn't want to see outsiders, this obviously didn't apply to Shen Chao. As soon as Shen Chao got off the shuttle, he saw Alice flying down from the air lightly, landing not far from him, and only splashed a small piece of dust at his feet when he landed.

"Fly beautifully, my dear, it looks like you have complete control over your newfound powers. Shen Chao motioned for the guards around him to retreat. While walking in and complimenting his girlfriend.

At the time of their last meeting, Alice was not yet able to fully control her newly enhanced abilities. A random fluctuation could make her unexpectedly release a violent wave of dark energy field fluctuations. And now, it looks like she has full control over her abilities.

"Looks like your journey is going well, what's wrong, is there a new mission or are you going to lock me up again?" As soon as the two sides met, Alice came to this sentence, obviously. She was still angry at the short time when Shen Chao isolated herself before.

"No, can't I just come to see my girlfriend?" Shen Chao secretly apologized after approaching, and took Alice's hand very naturally, and then the two naturally leaned together and left the airport to start a walk, and they chatted while walking. It's like a normal couple visiting the park.

Shen Chao hadn't returned to the main plane for a long time, so in comparison, Alice knew more about the current situation here than he did now. After chatting for a while about what they had seen and felt recently, Shen Chao found that Alice didn't seem to be very willing to go back with him. When asked by Shen Chao when she would go back, Alice was silent for a while and replied, "Soon......"

Obviously, she wasn't very willing to go back to the Space-Time Council's Jurisdiction. On Earth on the main plane, no one knows her, and she can live an easy life. But in the council's control zone, she could feel people's critical eyes spinning around around her all the time.

In order to alleviate Alice's psychological burden, and more importantly, to give herself a chance to relax, Shen Chao stayed in the second base with his girlfriend for the next few days. They walked slowly on the beach, patiently watching the sunset and sunrise...... In short, they took advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy a carefree life.

As the old saying goes, though. Good times are never enough, and just as they were gradually adapting to their leisure life here, Custer, who stayed on Space Station Zero, suddenly sent an urgent notice, asking Shen Chao to rush back immediately, saying that there was a serious incident that required him to make a decision.

Although they don't know what is so urgent, they all know that Custer will not send an emergency notice for no reason. So I packed my bags and rushed back to Space Station Zero together. At this time, the space station zero was extremely busy, and a large number of troops were mobilized here to be on guard, and the atmosphere of the entire space station was very tense.

In the traversal zone, teams of refugees from the Mass Effect plane were received and sent to various temporary settlements. It is worth noting that, unlike usual, the "refugees" who came out of that space-time door at this time are not from any of the mainstream intelligent races of the Divine Citadel.

There are no humans, Asares, or Krogan ...... them, on the contrary, the "refugees" who came out of the space-time gate at this time are a whole team of Jace! It's no wonder that Space Station Zero is in such a tense atmosphere.

As a mechanical race with extremely strong combat effectiveness, Jace has excellent electronic warfare penetration capabilities, and even a single Jace appearing in a facility like Space Station Zero is also dangerous, because they may hack into the control and security systems on the space station through a very simple link, not to mention how dangerous it is to appear at the same time with hundreds or thousands.

In order to find out what was going on, Shen Chao and the others rushed all the way to the control room, but they didn't find Custer here as they wished. Fortunately, they learned what was going on from the officers left behind.

It turned out that the Mass Effect plane had just experienced a series of sudden battles, and Sister Xue was working hard to solve this crisis, and Custer had already met with her through the Guò Space-Time Gate to discuss countermeasures. As for the origin of those Jace "refugees", it has to start with the origin of the war.

Some time ago, the Citadel Council, which had temporarily given up on encircling Jace, had only temporarily given up attacking Jace. Although Sister Xue has repeatedly told the Citadel Council that she can win Jace to join the camp against the Reapers, she has also led the legion back and forth between the Citadel and the Cross Star Sector several times to mediate the tense atmosphere between the two sides and discuss cooperation.

However, eager to show its new strength, the Citadel Council finally chose to use force to solve the potential threat of Jace's mechanical race, leading a powerful interracial fleet to officially declare war on Jace.

Due to the very sudden outbreak of the war, Sister Xue was once caught in the front line of the confrontation between the two sides and disappeared for a time. Fortunately, it was later confirmed that it was only the communicator on her armor that was disturbed by the fierce fighting on the front line.

Now she's still on the front lines, dedicated to saving Jace's race. That's right, "Deliverance", the Citadel Council launched almost all the military powers in the galaxy for this genocidal war against Jace, and the four rogue states of the Citadel alone sent more than 100,000 warships to participate in this operation.

Counting the combined strength of the other races, the size of the combined fleet reached a terrifying 200,000 warships, which is equivalent to the size of half of the official fleet of the entire galaxy more than a year ago, not to mention the combat effectiveness.

Although Jace is a mechanical race, their area of activity is not larger than that of other mainstream intelligent races, and for the star regions under their own control, their development process is not much stronger than that of the advanced races of the Divine Citadel.

For these reasons, their production capacity is not much stronger. Although the ability to build ships is stronger than that of the average Citadel race, cutting-edge technologies such as warship building are updated extremely quickly, and even they often cannot keep up with the latest technological advances. As a result, Jace's regular ships were no match for the entire membership of the Citadel Council. All the combat-capable ships of the Jace clan are not enough to fight a fleet battle with the Combined Fleet of the Citadel, let alone defeat. (To be continued......)
