Alia hadn't tried to save herself from Omega, and she had a lot of affection for the space station she had lived on for hundreds of years. In order to keep this place, she used all the connections and power at her disposal, and she found her allies, enemies, intelligence traffickers, and mercenaries......

Communicate with all these people and forces and find a way to keep Omega. After discovering that it was ineffective, she used her usual methods of coercion, inducement, assassination, etc., to delay the top of the government's decision-making body, but with little success.

Even the Asari government, which had been respectful to her in the past, had put her back on the government's list of wanted criminals, the last time she was on that list hundreds of years ago.

She had also tried to bribe and even seduce the command of the Citadel fleet, but that had little effect. Because even if she can buy the loyalty of a part of the fleet command, she will not be able to change the current policy direction.

In desperation, she also thought about uniting a terrorist group like Cyblos or forming an alliance with the Shadow Brokers, but before she could contact Cyblos's higher-ups, she heard that the Phantom Man was missing.

Then, she tries to contact the shadow agent, but the shadow agent replies that she is advised to retire! And gave her a projected timetable for the Citadel Council to exterminate her! The deadline inside is less than 100 days away!

In this context, she also knew that if she continued to stay on this space station, she would eventually bury it. So, out of the instinct of survival. Some of the retreat and follow-up work went into the preparation process.

She handed over these preparations for her own lives to a few of her henchmen, and she sat in the private room at the top of the "afterlife" bar for a long time to maintain the order of the Omega surface.

Although the number of Omega residents has dropped significantly over the past few months, the afterlife bar is still overcrowded. All the criminals who are still working in the nearby star sector will come here for recreation and maintain the prosperity of the consumption area.

As usual, Alia sat comfortably on her reception couch. While listening to the music in the bar outside, I savored a drink in my hand. In the huge empty but poorly lit box, there were only her and the four personal guards who did not say a word, and there was no lively scene of people rushing through here to find her to do errands.

Looking at the revelry crowd outside, the queen of Omega was a little numb. What did you occupy Omega for? Fame, wealth, respect...... These wonderful things that anesthetize the nerves are her favorites right now. It seemed like all of this was going to leave her.

The closer she gets, the more she gets to the expected deadline given to her by the shadow broker. The more unwilling she became. Although there was no sign that she would not survive this hurdle, she was still unwilling to leave the scene after hundreds of years of being the queen of Omega, and just as she continued to feel sorry for her fate, one of her subordinates came with a message that made her brow furrow again.

Meanwhile. In an empty cabin on the top deck of the Budapest. Shen Chao is doing low-intensity stretching exercises that he has to do every day. His strength and speed have long surpassed the limits of what a human being should be. However, the body still needs a certain amount of exercise to maintain flexibility. Towards the end of his practice today, the hatch was opened from the outside, and it was Sister Xue.

"There's been a plan for Jace for a long time. Isn't it? Sister Xue asked as soon as she came in, she had seen in the previous negotiations that Shen Chao seemed to have some plans for Jace, but now she had more reasons to be suspicious.

"I have some ideas, just like you also have some ideas about their power......" Shen Chao didn't admit it, but he didn't deny Sister Xue's statement, after he met Jace's representative again, he did have some very "creative power" problem solutions, such as absorbing a part of Jace and sending them to the 035 plane and the Theron people just front!

But in the end, such a plan was rejected by himself. Such a scheme is unlikely to succeed, at least not yet. Jace wanted to get out of conflict with the Citadel race, but the pressure of the situation was not urgent enough to require them to flee.

It's hard to say what the result will be if you unveil your hole cards in front of Jace now, maybe some Jace will be willing to take risks through the plane, but it is more likely that his core secrets will be leaked to forces like the Reaper, in that case, Shen Chao's series of original plans behind him will be in vain.

"And what's going on here at Omega, and why are we stopping around here?" Sister Xue asked this key question again.

"It's not that we stop, it's just my team!" Your Normandy has the Reaper IFF installed, and the space-time door stabilizer in the cargo hold. It's entirely up to you when to get through the Omega 4 repeater, and I'll take care of some finishing touches here. ”

Shen Chao took a moment to explain what the historical issues left over from the previous period were, and it turned out that Shen Chao was going to take this opportunity to complete the decision on Alia that had been formulated a long time ago. The capture of T. Locke.

The biomedical department in the rear has been waiting for her samples for a long time. After hearing the reason for Shen Chao's stay, although Sister Xue was still not satisfied, she did not object, and Omega's fate was decided.

An hour and a half later, Shen Chao led the 102 team and slowly drove into a remote abandoned cargo port on the Omega space station on two shuttles modified with stealth performance.

After disembarking at the cargo port, they carefully probed the surroundings, and after confirming that no one was there and monitoring, Shen Chao opened the space-time door and transferred several engineering mechs from the rear. With the help of the engineering mechs, they quickly cleared the obstacles and opened the passage to the main Omega station.

From here, they entered Omega's main station, carefully concealing their figures, slowly approaching Omega's high-security zone. The agents with the Shadow Brokers collected the latest defense maps, and they dodged all the defenses and alarms until they reached two blocks outside the Afterlife Bar.

From here, they are already considered to be in the innermost layer of the Omega defense circle. The detection equipment and defenses here are too dense, and most importantly, there are too many inhabitants to continue without anyone noticing.

After stopping here, they entered a small warehouse that had been booked by agents of the Shadow Brokers. Here, Shen Chao opened a space-time door again and fixed it with a stable dìng device transported from the rear. In a little while, when their operation begins, this will be the most important node in the entire operation.

After getting ready here, Shen Chaorang led Lu Feng, the leader of the 102 team, to sneak into a resident's room in the tallest building nearby, set up his weapon and looked in the direction of the main exit of the afterlife bar. The exit from them to the Afterlife Bar was about 800 meters, which was just right for their ambush plan.

It was evening time on the space station, there weren't too many pedestrians on the road, and it seemed much quieter than the last time Shen Chao had visited. After setting up an observation position here, Shen Chao turned on the communicator and notified the Budapest to start moving.

After receiving his explicit orders, the Budapest quickly sailed into the air defense identification zone on the periphery of the Omega space station. After shouting at Omega's tower, they ignored all the warnings and moved on.

At a distance of about 2 million kilometers from the Omega space station, Omega's fleet left port to prepare for the battle, and the fixed batteries were also activated to aim at the Budapest, which was still out of range. Although Omega has long since lost the trade boom it once had, the main force of this small fleet is Aliya's private army.

Although their size and combat effectiveness are a bit funny compared to the regular fleets of several races, this pocket fleet is not afraid of the challenge of a cruiser. Of course, if they had known the Budapest's current defensive capabilities, they might not have rushed to die.

At the same time, inside the Omega space station, Shen Chao, who was guarding the observation position, was a little depressed. The latest information he'd received clearly indicated that Aliya would be at the Afterlife Bar, and that she would have to pass through the section of the road she had prepared to blockade in order to reach the port.

However, according to the information sent by the Budapest, Omega's fleet has been dispatched, but he has not yet seen his target on this road. Almost a minute later, new news came that Alia was now on his command ship and had issued the latest warning against the approaching Budapest. Her fleet will soon have a firefight with the Budapest!

Hearing this, Shen Chao knew that he was in the air and needed to adjust his strategy. So he ordered the Budapest to evacuate the system after some harassment, which roughly meant that the Budapest fired a few shots at the opposite side to scare the other party.

Although the current Budapest has the potential to single out this Omega motley fleet, a super ability who died in fleet battles is of no use to Shen Chao, and the reason why he is taking the time to capture Alia is because only by catching the other party alive can he hope to study and understand the underlying working principle of biological abilities.

All of the Asari have different biological abilities, but they don't have Element Zero in their bodies, which means that Element Zero is not necessary to generate biological abilities, and it is not necessary to use it to mobilize dark energy, and that the use of biological abilities by living organisms is more like invoking an accessory.

After abandoning the implantation of Element Zero in their bodies to mass-produce their own abilities, the expedition team also found seemingly promising replacements in many planes. They even seriously considered replacing their existing small number of abilities with a new ability system such as the Force or Spectral Ability, but they would need to do a series of realizations before deciding what new ability system to adopt in order to prove their safety. (To be continued......)
