In the crossing zone, several other people are ready, and 2 shuttles loaded with weapons and equipment are waiting in the center of the crossing zone. Everyone was also armoured and armoured.

Although it is still the blue livery of Starlink, whether it is subordinate or internal equipment, these two shuttles have undergone major changes. The two shuttles had undergone some equipment upgrades before they left the world of Mass Effect last time.

At this point, the Mass Effect Generators mounted on the two shuttles were increased by 40%, resulting in a one-generation increase in weapons, shields, and FTL abilities.

One of the shuttles had a reconnaissance compartment next to the communicator on the top. The whole shuttle has a strong ground reconnaissance capability.

The upgrade proved to be a visionary one, and although they didn't have any specific plans for their use when they brought them back, the two shuttles were now a perfect fit for their mission.

The objectives of their mission this time were slightly more and involved several experimental objectives. For example, this time, they will try to set up a reconnaissance satellite in the target world, comprehensively reconnoiter the target world, and bring back some samples of the alien race CEPH there, etc.

In addition, their main task is to obtain a batch of nano servers, as well as to obtain as much information as possible about the nano servers of China and the United States. Finally, the purpose of mass manufacturing and upgrading nanosuits in other planes will be realized.

At this time, Custer was directing several security planes to put the last few boxes of things into the shuttle's cabin, and at this time, there were nearly 200 activated security planes in the crossing area, which was much more than the usual number.

The whole team of security planes came and went in the crossing area, holding weapons and tools, and formed two main reserve arrays in the crossing area.

One of the teams stood behind a nearby bunker as usual, ready to pick them up at any moment. The other team erected a huge 4-metre-high barrier cage not far away.

They had brought it back from the Mass Effect world, and the interior space was the size of 2 to 3 shipping containers, where the device was primarily used to bind prisoners or newly discovered large biological species.

This type of equipment has also been seen in the 3rd generation of the game in the military research base where the Sarari research genophages.

SINCE THIS DEVICE IS CAPABLE OF SHACKLING POWERFUL CREATURES LIKE KROGAN AND YAGO, IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO ISOLATE ONE OR TWO CEPHS.

Wait until they have a live CEPH sample. It can be thrown directly into this barrier restraint cage, open the barrier, and then hand it over to a large number of nearby machine qì people to take care of.

"How's the preparation?" Shen Chao led Roy through a busy group of people, and while taking his armor, he asked Narrator, who was making final preparations.

"Everything has been brought and everyone is ready, but how are you going to distribute the personnel and equipment?" Custer pointed to two shuttles not far away with a large amount of equipment and supplies.

"Alice and I are in charge of the first shuttle, and you take him and Dr. Neville in charge of the other shuttle......" Shen Chao pointed to Roy behind him. In this way, the personnel allocation was simply arranged.

He put Roy and Dr. Neville under the direct command of Custer, who piloted the shuttle with the reconnaissance bin, and Custer was mainly responsible for supporting the other shuttle.

The complexity and danger of their mission are slightly higher, so they have to bring a lot of auxiliary equipment, and they need two shuttles to participate in the operation.

One of them is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and possible combat operations. The other is mainly responsible for alarm monitoring and analysis. and support the first shuttle in the air or on the ground when needed.

Half an hour later, all of them, including all the machine qì people, had finished their respective work. All personnel and materials have been prepared, and the electromagnetic restraint cage has also been prepared.

Before leaving, Shen Chao gave everyone a final overview of their target world this time, mainly the overview of their mission when they went to this world last time.

Although it is a world that they have been to since they were young in the early days. But due to their interference, this plane is now a relatively dangerous world.

He and Custer had already influenced the plot before they left last time. CEPH had already appeared on Lingshan Island in large numbers a whole day in advance, and the U.S. troops landed on the island early and were thwarted......

A lot of things are different from the game's story, so they're not sure how the story will play out in the future. Shen Chao's plan was to leave Lingshan Island as soon as they crossed over, launch a comprehensive reconnaissance, and then determine the details of the next mission.

After confirming that everyone had entered the shuttle, Shen Chao opened a space-time door, and drove his shuttle to take off and quickly pass through.

The place where their shuttle appeared was still on Lingshan Island, but due to his intentional control. They appeared this time far from where they had left the last time.

The last time they left was near the beach where the U.S. military had landed, and now they were in a dense forest.

This is the forest in the central area of Lingshan Island, and due to the dense vegetation, Shen Chao and the others drove the shuttle over and hit 3 big trees. Custer's shuttle came through and knocked down two more trees.

They moved through the space-time portal slightly. In order to avoid other vegetation, after making sure that Custer's shuttle behind him had completely come, Shen Chao immediately closed the space-time door behind him.

Then they immediately climbed the two shuttles upwards and separated the distance, and after rising to an altitude of 500 meters, they stopped climbing. and formed a parallel formation, and began to scan the ground.

They lined up in a horizontal line and walked slowly. Custer's shuttle also opens the hatch, and Roy opens the box and sets up and releases a dozen drones, which he will be responsible for controlling the unmanned gold to scan the distant area.

At this time, Custer himself opened the monitoring communication panel and began to skillfully monitor the communication information on the island. He needs to monitor the communications of the U.S. military, North Korea, and possible CEPH.

This is to ensure that they do not unknowingly encounter the armed forces of all sides on the island, which the U.S. military and North Koreans have invested heavily in due to previous conflicts and misunderstandings, and are somewhat of a threat to them.

More importantly, due to the previous setbacks, the US military may launch a nuclear strike on the island in a short time, and they want to ensure that they are not unknowingly involved when the US military launches nuclear weapons.

This is a considerable threat, although by design metrics, the kinetic energy barrier of their shuttles is very impact-resistant, and as long as it is not within the absolute kill range, they will not be caught in it.

The absolute kill range of the small-yield nuclear weapons in the game is not large, so it is not a great threat to them. But to be on the safe side, they will still carefully monitor the communications of all parties. The first warning of a possible nuclear strike.

At this time, the more advanced combat scanner that Shen Chao's shuttle came with also began to work, and as he flew, it slowly carried out accurate tomography scanning of the nearby ground.

They needed to collect samples of CEPH on the island before the situation on the island deteriorated completely. The reason for this timing was that the CEPH that appeared at this time still retains their original form similar to that of a large octopus.

In the 2nd generation of the game, CEPH has undergone a large mutation, and its form and combat effectiveness have been very different. This shows that there is no fixed form of the CEPH race.

If they are to return to this plane for long-term development in the future, they will need to determine the cause and possible source of the mutation of these "flying octopus".

"What are you like there, Custer?" Two minutes later, Shen Chao asked Custer in the communication channel.

Their shuttle was about 200 meters in the air, and Shen Chao had been scanning here for two minutes, and had already scanned more than a dozen square kilometers, but he didn't find CEPH, so he wanted to ask about the situation over there.

"The drone found a few signs of CEPH, but you can also hear explosions in the distance, they are all moving in groups, and the main force is attacking the US military ...... from the beach"

Custer gave a brief overview of some of the scans of his drone, and their first goal was to find a single or small number of CEPHs, which they could then quickly capture and bring back to the main plane.

However, it seems that this will not go very smoothly now, because the CEPHs he has detected on the island are all moving in groups, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and it is difficult to arrest them.

Eventually, they found a smaller group of CEPH ground forces in the northwestern part of the island, which drove the shuttle over, opened the hatch and rolled out the airborne heavy machine guns......

After a series of untechnical cross-fire direct firepower from the air, they smoothly beat the whole team of large octopuses into a sieve.

They then landed on the ground to collect the samples they needed and caught a large CEPH octopus that had been injured and not completely dead.

"It's incredible, this creature is amazing......" Dr. Neville exclaimed during the preliminary analysis of the sample on the ground

He dragged a severed large octopus mechanical tentacle in his hand, and his expression was very excited.

"Of course it's amazing, Doctor, I told you they're half-creatures, half-machines......"

Shen Chao interjected when he saw that he was so engaged, he remembered that he had carefully introduced this creature to Dr. Neville before, and Dr. Neville shouldn't be so surprised.

"No, I'm not talking about that, you've said they're like this, I know, but I'm marveling at their DNA structure. When Dr. Neville heard this, he knew he had misunderstood, and immediately stood up and explained.

"What's wrong with their DNA structure?" Shen Chao asked, feeling that he was about to hear something very important. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
