The elevator rose at maximum speed, taking them all the way to the top floor, but the whole pit shook even more, and small stones kept falling on top of their heads, and the whole pit seemed to collapse at any moment.

Unfortunately, when their elevator finally reached the top floor, they found that there was already a team of Jace waiting for them. And this pair of Jace infantry is under the leadership of a Krogan battle master!

Of course, Shen Chao, who is familiar with the plot, is also ready to fight at this time, and after a few days of discussion, Shen Chao also basically understood from Lex what kind of level the Crogen battle masters are.

To put it simply, a Krogan Battle Master is much more powerful than an average Krogan man, and each Battle Master is a strongman who has fought on the battlefield for at least a few decades. Far from being able to deal with ordinary soldiers.

At this time, Jace, who was waiting for them, was hiding in a few not strong bunkers nearby, while the Krogan man was standing in front of them with a weapon, looking like he was about to say something, but Shen Chao was in no mood to listen to him.

Just kidding, stones are falling down from the ceiling here at any time, and the entire mine could collapse at any moment, who is in the mood to listen to his nonsense!

At least Shen Chao was not willing to gamble his luck. So without waiting for the Krogan battle master to finish speaking, he first raised the muzzle of his shotgun and fired a shot at the Krogan in front of him, then drew his knife and rushed forward to slash.

The Krogan in front of him didn't seem to expect the other party to fight without listening to a word, but his reaction was quite fast. Moreover, the speed of this Krogan is not at all proportional to his size, although he is huge, and weighs 400 kilograms, but his speed is surprisingly fast.

However, his speed is the same as that of an ordinary human sprinter, and he is still slow in Shen Chao's eyes, and after rushing to the front, he first cut the shotgun in the opponent's hand in half with a single sword, and then killed the opponent with a single slash.

It's not that the opponent's armor is resistant to cutting. can withstand the single-molecule knife in his hand. The point is that this Krogan is nimble like a monkey, with agility and reflexes that are completely out of proportion to his size. managed to dodge the first two knives that Shen Chao slashed over.

Taking advantage of Shen Chao's failure to kill him with a knife, he also wanted to use his fist to turn over the human in front of him. But Shen Chao's strength was stronger than him, so in the end, he was beaten by Shen Chao with a punch, and Shen Chao also took this opportunity to make up for it twice, cutting this Krogan into 3 pieces.

So far. A Krogan Battle Master was killed in an instant. After dealing with this Krogan Battle Master, he quickly cut down the few remaining Jaces with the firepower of other teammates, and then ran straight towards the exit without Shepard saying anything.

It's about to collapse, and he doesn't have time to be polite. Now that you've wiped out all the enemies, all you have to do now is run with your legs open......

"Hurry up, we don't have time......" Shen Chao didn't forget to shout before starting, and after shouting, he ran towards the exit without turning his head.

When the other people heard this, they didn't need more reminders, they all ran out after him, and the pit was shaking more violently at this time. Larger rocks have already fallen from the roof of the cave.

Anyone can see it. It's about to collapse completely. Therefore, everyone used their strength to eat and ran towards the exit as fast as they could. Shepard is no exception.

However, she was the captain after all, so she couldn't run directly outside like Shen Chao, she pulled Liara, who looked relatively weak, to run behind the team.

Because he was the first to start running out, and because he was the fastest, Shen Chao ran out of the pit half a minute earlier than the others. Garras was the second, subsequently. Lex and Shepard also ran out of the way. …,

Then the exit was blocked by a large block of rock. At this time, Shepard, who helped Leah out, had only walked out of the hole for a few seconds!

This is character, and it is also an escape. The protagonist escapes calmly, and there will be no bloody plot like being crushed in a hole at the last moment.

Not long after they escaped, Normandy landed in their position, and after a brief loot of the nearby loot, they avoided 3 Jace's cruisers and quickly left the system.

As soon as the Normandy was connected to the repeater, Shepard gathered all the Marines for a meeting. After all this effort, they naturally want to do their best to make sure that their new "guests" have the information they need.

Shen Chao naturally knew that such a meeting would not lead to anything, Liara knew nothing about her mother and Salen's actions, and could only give some inconsequential clues, but this meeting still had to be held, even if it was just a passing motion for him.

In the conference room and communication room in Normandy, all the team members found their own seats to sit down, and at this time, everyone took off their armor and entered a safe space, so the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

However, Shen Chao also knew that this was just a façade, and the team members basically had some doubts about Shepard's decision-making, for example, their "guest" Liara was not restrained, but was invited to the conference room.

And that's the problem, except for Shepard and Shen Chao, who knows the plot, the other teammates don't know or want to believe that Liara is innocent.

They had just encountered a total of nearly 100 Jace infantry on the planet of Serram, and finally "rescued" Liara, which shows that the Jaces are very eager to capture this Asari before them.

And these Jaces are commanded by Salen, so in other words, Salen, who is currently hiding in an unknown corner of the galaxy, is very eager to capture this Asare, obviously, she must have a very important role for Salen.

After almost everyone had entered the room, Shepard walked in with Liara, who sat in her place while she prepared to stand and preside over the meeting.

Shen Chao sat next to Lex, absentmindedly thinking about other things, and Shepard and the rest of his teammates were constantly asking Liara all kinds of questions.

Some asked her about the mother-daughter relationship with Benassia, and some asked her about her research field, why Salen wanted to arrest her. As a result, Liara said that she did not know, and that she was an archaeologist who had little contact with people, and had not paid attention to the political situation in the galaxy for several years.

Finally, they finally asked the really important questions. And Shen Chao finally pricked up his ears.

"Do you know anything about the Holy Way?" Salen seems to be looking for it. "This question was asked by Shepard. She seemed to believe Liara's previous answer.

"Yes, I've heard that it's an archaeological rumor, it seems to be related to the extinction of Prosian, which is my specialty, and I've spent the last 50 years studying the reasons for their extinction......" Liara began by explaining her specialty.

"50 years, well, how old are you?" Sister Xue asked strangely, it is difficult to judge the age of the Asari people, their lifespan is super long, and they are almost eternally young, it is difficult to know their age by their appearance.

"I don't really want to admit it, but I'm only 106 years old...... Liara seems not quite happy with her age. As in the game, she still feels that she is too "young......

"Damn, I wish I could look so good at that age...... Ashley couldn't help but complain when he heard this, although the human lifespan in the interstellar era has been greatly improved, it is still compared to the super-long-lived races like the Asare. …,

The average human being is less than 150 years old, and the projected age is still too short to be expected. And the little girl-like Asaris in front of them have lived for a century. She had to complain.

"A century may seem like a long time to you, but among my people, I will still be treated as a child......" She said, not forgetting to mention that her research was not taken seriously because he was so young......

Liara seemed to be a little self-deprecating when she spoke, as an Asare, she had long been accustomed to people of other races complaining about her age.

"Sorry to interrupt, Doctor, but are there any interesting findings from your research?" Shen Chao didn't ask the topic for a long time, and interjected.

"Yes, a lot, as you all know, there are very few ruins left of the Prothean civilization......" Liara replied after hearing his question, thinking for a moment.

She began to talk more about her research, arguing that the extinction of the Prothean civilization was not an accident, and that they were not the first advanced civilization to be suddenly destroyed.

She mentioned the concept of "the reincarnation of galactic civilizations", and the civilizations in their galaxy seem to be repeating the same development route over and over again, and the Prosian civilization, which has a great influence on all the current intelligent races, seems to have been violently destroyed.

Every tens of thousands of years, a new group of civilizations emerges, develops, expands to the entire galaxy through the guò repeater, then at the peak of development, and then completely extinct in a very short period of time......

Every qiē created by the extinct pre-civilization will be destroyed by an unknown force, and in the end, only a few ruins will be preserved for the next reincarnation.

Shen Chao knew that the force she was talking about was the Reaper, the most powerful force in the galaxy, the existence of countless powerful civilizations that had destroyed countless reincarnations, and the opponent that Shepard would eventually face on this trip.

One of the purposes of Shen Chao's trip was to assess the Reaper's strength and threat up close, so that he could decide on his development strategy in this world in the future.

There are a lot of things he needs in the world of Mass Effect, as long as his plan can go smoothly, soon, his expedition team will be able to make great progress in this world, and comprehensively improve the overall strength of his expedition. Lay a solid foundation for them to explore other worlds in the future. (To be continued.)
