Chapter 137: Ground Battle

"Hey, Nerus, be careful. I have a very bad premonition...... "Shen Chao decided to remind him while he hadn't jumped off yet. As a former player, Shen Chao certainly knew that this battle was the end of Nerus.

The ghost of the Citadel would never have imagined that he would be shot in the head by his friend here. In the past two days, he has also known Nerus, this Touareg has no prejudice against humans, except that the language may not be very friendly, and he is still a good guy.

Moreover, if this Touareg ghost can survive, then it will also be quite useful for Shen Chao's later plans. Because Nerus seems to be interested in nominating him as a ghost. Therefore, he did not forget to remind him. As for whether it will be useful or not, he is not sure for sure.

Nerus glanced at Shen Chao next to him, he was very strange, what did this human think "ghosts" were. Is it made from human food called tofu? Each ghost has more combat experience than this young man, I don't know how many times.

But he was not angry, but a little surprised that there was a human on the ship who cared about his life, a Touareg. You know, due to the first contact with the war, the relationship between the Touareg and humans has not been very good.

During his two days in Normandy, he felt the most awe or wariness of the people on board. Only when Anderson communicated with her did not feel this way.

"Thank you for your concern, Corporal. I'll be fine. Nerus didn't think much of it, and jumped off the ship. Watching Nerus jump down, Shen Chao thought to himself, "I warned you, boss." I'm going to get another headshot from Salen this time, so don't come to me. ”

When I think of this, I don't have a burden in my heart. Just listen to Anderson telling the slope to be careful, he can't provide air support for a short time...... Then he disembarked with Shepard.

Finally standing on the solid ground of Eden Primary, they checked the communication equipment again, and Shen Chao and Kaiden followed behind Shepard, formed a formation behind them, and slowly advanced towards the excavation point. The ramp that opened the way in front also used hand signals to direct them to move from time to time.

They advanced very carefully, as they were based on the distress signal that had come from Eden Primary. They don't know what the enemy looks like at this time, and in Shepard's knowledge, they could encounter any armed force of any race. So. They were slow to advance at first.

A few minutes later, on an empty mountain path, Jenkens followed the command of the slope to a bunker, and just halfway through the rush, he felt a shock from his shield. Without thinking about it, he sped up and rushed to cover. During this period, two or three more shots were fired in the dense fire. But it didn't fall like in the game's story.

Wait for Jenkens to hide behind cover. He didn't dare to stick his head out, and it looked like his shield was basically zero. It takes a few seconds to recover the shield. Shen Chao was also relieved to see this, and before leaving, he put the shield generator he had replaced on Jenkens' armor.

He wanted to know whether Jenkens here was a plot that would die or could be saved. Because it's about his own future. After seeing that he was okay, he was also relieved. Squatting behind cover, he took out his Avenger assault rifle and shot in the direction where the bullet came from.

His shooting was very accurate, and it started with Shepard and Kaiden, and it took less than half a minute for the three men to concentrate their fire, and the three small turrets in the air were knocked down.

This floating turret is the size of a small drone on the main plane, and is equipped with a small Mass Effect acceleration weapon and shield. It can quickly support the forces close to the ground.

Placed on the main plane, this floating turret is definitely a big killer. Its defense is no less than that of a high-class bulletproof car. The firepower can at least catch up with the M2 heavy machine gun, which is fast and small. It is an absolutely powerful battlefield killer. …,

However, this is the interstellar age after all. These small turrets in the air are too low a threat to them. Their shields protect them from being killed instantly, and their counterattacks are much stronger than those that can only be programmed to run.

After they finished fighting, Shen Chao took a look. The shield on his body has also dropped to 90%. Although their tactical arrangement is reasonable, but just now. His shield was shot a few times anyway.

Jenkens also got up from the ground at this moment, the only real recruit in the whole team choked on the scare of what had just happened. He patted the dirt on his body. After the catastrophe, he touched his whole body, and then jumped up happily.

The slope also came to take a look and found that there was no major problem. So he took a few of them and moved on. It took a few minutes to move forward and eliminated a dozen more floating batteries along the way. Suddenly, a fierce burst of gunfire was heard ahead.

Listening to the gunshots, there were only three or four people. The distance should be around 34 hundred meters. The slope didn't hesitate for a second after hearing the gunshot, turned to the two and said, "Speed up." As he spoke, he rushed forward.

She was very fast, definitely surpassing the Olympic sprint record. Only Shen Chao can keep up, and Cayden and Jenkens can only throw off their legs and run forward with the slope and Shen Chao as if they were dead. But they still fell nearly 100 meters.

At this speed, it took the two of them less than a minute to reach the battlefield in front of them, only to see a gentle slope ahead, and behind a large rock at the bottom of the slope, a female soldier wearing white Star Union armor was struggling to resist the attack of the four Jaces. Her shield seemed to crumble at any moment, and she was fighting and retreating.

Shen Chao tacitly stopped with the slope, each found a cover, and prepared for crossfire, and then, according to Shepard's command, they formed crossfire, condescendingly and poured ammunition at several Jaces at the same time.

A minute later, the last Jace was blown up by them. Looking at the shield value that did not move at all, Shen Chao sighed with emotion: Sure enough, it is still condescending, and it is good to be prepared to fight unprepared.

: Is this Jace? Kayden asked curiously. He and Jenkens had just arrived out of breath. By the time they arrived, the battle was over.

"That's right, plasma weapons, their own mechs are synthesizers, electronic neural network architectures, self-destructing memory cores...... It can only be a Jace. Shen Chao said after examining Jace's body on the ground.

In the past two days, he has been following Adams, the chief engineer of Normandy, to make up for the knowledge of mechanical engineering in this era. It's not to blame for Cayden's ignorance, although everyone has seen Jace's picture, but before that, no one here has seen Jace with their own eyes. When two people are on guard. The slope went over and asked briefly about the lady soldier's situation.

Nothing surprising, this lady soldier is Ashley, who should have replaced Jenkens, an important supporting role in the bento. But there was nothing going on with Jenkens at this point. I am preoccupied with vigilance.

On the other hand, Ashley, at this time, she had a wolf face, and even her armor had several charred black abrasions. It seemed that the battle she had just experienced was very fierce, and the scorch marks on her armor were probably the result of the abrasions she had taken from the shield failure.

However, it seems that the female warrior is in good spirits, and is actively asking to join the team at this time. Shepard seemed to think about it, perhaps considering that their Marines were still dissatisfied, and finally let her join.

The five men continued to march forward, encountering several waves of the enemy. Under the command of the slope, these few and brief firefights became more and more relaxed. Until they encounter a corpse at an excavation site. It slowed them down a little. …,

These corpses were created by the invading Jace using Reaper technology, and the raw materials were the humans of the colony. Creating corpse souls is a high level of nanotechnology. They pinned their victims to metal posts that looked like small telephone poles.

It only takes a few minutes for a specially programmed nanomachine qì to transform a dead human body into a semi-organic matter. Semi-synthetic monsters. It looks like a skeleton with a coat of blue skin.

The person who turns into this monster has no emotions or memories, and his body is basically mechanical, and he will only obey the orders of the Reaper to attack other organisms. These monsters were later named Corpse Souls.

These monsters move quickly and have strong attack power. But the IQ is very low. The attack method is also very similar to the zombies that Shen Chao saw in the biochemical world. It's just that the threat of these corpses is much higher than that of zombies in the biochemical world.

Not only do these lost objects have a thin shield, but they are also quite resistant to blows. It takes an average of 23 rounds of bullets to hit head-on, and firing like this in a row can easily overheat the barrel.

Fortunately, there are not many of them here, only a dozen. Several people quickly wiped out these corpses with the advantage of firepower. Shen Chao even punched a corpse soul that was too close and burst the skull. These corpses pose a very high threat to ordinary people who are unarmed.

Because their power is much greater than that of ordinary people. The speed is also impressive, and it's no wonder that three generations after the game, it is popular for various races to transform universal tools into melee weapons. Once there are too many of these things, it is difficult to block them with the guns in their hands, and they will inevitably be forced into close combat.

Taking advantage of the time when a few people were observing the corpse soul, Shen Chao changed to a full-energy Jace pulse rifle on the ground. The gun weighs a bit heavier than the Avenger Assault Rifle and has a much lower rate of fire, but it is nearly 50% more powerful in rapid-fire mode.

After adjusting to the extremely slow rate of fire, the actual destruction effect of the plasma fired by this gun is close to that of a 40mm grenade. The intensity of the fire output is not to be said. Soon, the slope, who had not been able to get any useful information on the corpse soul, led the three of them onwards again.

At the same time, 1 km away on the ruins of a residential area. Nerus swooped in carefully. He hadn't seen any living people all the way, and had avoided a lot of Jace before he made it here. (To be continued......)
