Sister Xue knew that Garas's complaint was not just a complaint that they were often forced to get involved in fierce battles and dangers during their journey, but also a kind reminder. Many of his teammates, including Guerrus, were disgusted and disagreed with the mission.

Especially Lex, Kaiden, and Tari, who have a good relationship with Shen Chao, have all made it clear that they don't want to participate in this mission, and they prefer to wait for Shen Chao to show up again and ask what is going on, rather than risking a fight to investigate.

If it weren't for the fact that they all believed that Sister Xue would not fight with Shen Chao for no reason, they would not have participated in this mission. Sister Xue is well aware of this tendency in the team, but she also knows that she must find out what kind of technology this mysterious "portal" is.

Their personal relationship with Shen Chao cannot be considered as a precondition for this kind of major event that affects the life and death of countless people. So, she simply let Xia start the work of breaking the access control.

Although it looks like a very ordinary ship warehouse here, the access control system used is very high-end, Sister Xue watched when Xia cracked it, and found that she had never seen the software and hardware used for the electronic door lock here.

"It's a compiled language that's never been seen before, but the core of the software isn't really complicated. Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped last time......" Kasumi explained as she cracked the electronic door lock.

Almost at the same time, after the heavy inner door of the warehouse opened, the trailer started again, slowly towing tens of thousands of tons of cargo ships into the internal warehouse. After the entire hull of the ship was opened, the gate was closed again, leaving some of the men to guard the front half of the warehouse, while the rest retreated to the rear warehouse.

This is part of the security protocol improvements they have made to ensure that there are no unidentified parties disrupting the situation at the final stage. At this time, in the rear warehouse, a space-time door that also uses screen projection technology is expanding dramatically.

It is clear that the stabilizer on the other side of this space-time gate is constantly increasing the power of the output laser beam to expand the opening diameter of the space-time gate. It wasn't until the space-time gate was expanded to allow cargo ships to pass safely through guò that this expansion stopped.

Under the tow of the trailer, the cargo ship drove into the space-time gate little by little. Based on experience. The expedition team in charge of the escort decided that the whole ship would be open in two minutes, so here they began to prepare for the self-destruction steps.

At the same time as the cargo ship passes through the space-time gate, they begin to unlock a small nuclear warhead. This is the last step in each of their similar actions. After their scheduled cargo ship or passenger ship passes through guò. There is no need to store zài in this temporary assembled warehouse. A small nuclear weapon can destroy any nearby clandestine photography or communication equipment that may be stored in the area. And then cut off anyone's hope of finding a result from this investigation.

It was at this time that the team led by Sister Xue outside finally opened the electronic door lock after the alarm was lifted, and then unlocked the door lock. Xia hurriedly got out of the way and let Sister Xue and them go up. Sister Xue motioned for everyone to turn on the optical camouflage, and then carefully followed them one by one.

At this point, the nuclear bomb had been unlocked, and the team responsible for detonating it was about to set a countdown time, when suddenly, an alarm sounded from the detector of one of the sappers in their team.

"Intruder, antechamber, there are 4 people ...... now," the sapper reported after looking at his detection panel. The reason why he was able to detect Sister Xue, who had just broken into the front hall, was because they had planted several highly sensitive gravity detectors and sonar equipment in the foundation of the warehouse, and they all detected anomalies.

The gravity detector detected the gravity values of the front and rear parts of the warehouse, and found that the gravity value of the front warehouse changed beyond the preset threshold of the cargo ship, and the sonar image directly showed that a group of humanoid targets of unknown origin had broken in.

"Shorten the timing of the nuclear bomb, order the plane to intercept it, and the whole team is ready to retreat......" The captain of this team saw this and quickly issued an evacuation order, the expedition team has made plans for various emergencies in the bunker plan, and their reaction to unknown intruders has always been to avoid contact, and immediately return and destroy a piece of evidence that the space-time gate has set up here.

Although there was no siren, because they received the order to "search and destroy", the security planes who had been on alert in the front warehouse immediately entered a combat posture, which was equivalent to indirectly telling Sister Xue that their infiltration had failed.

"Damn, fire......" Sister Xue gave the order to fire, and the warehouse immediately burst into gunfire. She then asked a team of personnel to stay behind to deal with the small threat of security guards, and she herself rushed to the rear warehouse with a few team members to find the so-called portal.

Since it has been discovered, there is no longer a need to worry about what alarm to trigger, so it didn't take long to unlock the door this time, and it only took a third of the time to open the door before unlocking.

After entering the rear warehouse, they didn't find anyone, and the cargo ship that was being towed by the tugboat had almost completely opened the guò time and space door, leaving only a few meters of the end part that looked like it would be through the guò time and space door in ten seconds.

And the nuclear bomb that was left indoors before was only two and a half minutes old. The situation is very critical for them. However, when the team members who had withdrawn to the other side and were about to close the door saw through the guò monitor that it was Sister Xue who rushed in, the form was reversed.

"Is that Shepard?" A member of the expedition who had evacuated to the other side of the space-time portal asked after seeing the image transmitted from the other side.

"Oh, X's, it's really her. We must stop the timer of the nuclear bomb, we can't engage her, and we must contact the captain and say that we have a level 1 security hazard here. You, you and you come with me, the others are going to close the space-time gate and block the defense......"

Todd, the head of the base at the end of the door, immediately issued a series of orders to everyone around him, and then led a few heavily armed team members through the space-time gate and returned to the warehouse.

As the commander-in-chief of all land combat units under the Temporal Council and the commander-in-chief of this important base of operations, Todd's orders were faithfully carried out. Several of the team members he called immediately followed him through the space-time gate, while the others also sounded the base alarm according to his orders and began to set up a blockade.

Of course, it must be said that Todd was not ready to rush back to join Sister Xue, although there was no part about Sister Xue's raid in the plan formulated by the previous expedition. But Todd, as a core member of the expedition, naturally knew what Shen Chao should have on this issue.

In general, Shen Chao, the captain, would never like to see his team members and Sister Xue get up together, and Todd also knew that Shen Chao had always had the idea of recruiting this galaxy heroine of the ME plane. That's why he decided to rush over and control the situation.

If he directly closed the space-time gate and waited for Shen Chao to come back, it would be not impossible, but it would be tantamount to dereliction of duty. Because if he did that, then when Shen Chao opened the space-time gate to the same place again, the opposite side might have been blown into a big crater by the previously scheduled nuclear bomb.

This phenomenon of abnormal space-time flow on the opposite side after the space-time gate is closed, Todd is naturally aware, so he took a certain risk to pass through the space-time gate, hoping to stabilize Sister Xue before Shen Chao rushes back.

After Todd returned to the warehouse with several heavily armed expedition members through the time and space gate, they confronted Sister Xue's team on the opposite side without any suspense. And a few seconds later, as the cargo ship towed by the tugboat passed through the space-time gate, the space-time gate behind them also suddenly closed.

Todd breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, which showed that the team members and soldiers who stayed at the base had faithfully carried out his previous orders. And the few players around him who were "trapped" here were not in a good mood for him, although they knew that such a situation would happen, but their hearts still suddenly felt heavy.

They can be arranged to guard the most important material transportation channel of the expedition in the base that Todd is in charge of, and everyone's qualifications and abilities are naturally no problem, but it is the first time since they joined the expedition for so long that they have encountered the situation that the space-time gate behind them is completely closed.

In the past, no matter what danger occurred during the mission, the pressure on everyone would not be too great, because they knew that they had such a way out, no matter how strong the enemy was, they could always go back to the safe rear through the time gate or get strong support from the rear when they were almost unable to support it.

But this time the situation is different, they don't know what the so-called galactic heroine on the other side will think of their overtures, and the team members are worried about whether Todd will be able to stabilize each other as he wishes......

"Commander Shepard, I know we haven't met, but if you don't mind, I'd like to take this opportunity to unclock this nuclear bomb first, otherwise we'll both turn into radioactive dust as soon as it explodes, and you won't get the answer you want, and we won't be able to explain it to the captain......," Todd said after putting his weapon down.

"Captain? You mean Major Shen Chao? Sister Xue also put down her weapon and then asked.

"Yes, to you, he's a Shroud Ghost, a major of the Star Alliance Navy, but for us, he's always been our captain......" Todd said as he slowly walked over to the control panel of the nuclear bomb.

"What kind of organization is he?" What is this place, and what is that strange portal all about? Sister Xue asked several questions in a row.

"Alright, the nuclear bomb is disarmed. As for your question, I can't answer it right now. Just as you were loyal to the Star Federation and swore to defend its territory and its people, we all swore to protect the life and privacy of the Captain. Your question can only be answered by himself......"

After Todd successfully disarmed the nuclear bomb, he said these words in a very calm tone, so that Sister Xue on the other side couldn't figure out what kind of confidence he had to say such things. At the same time, I also had greater doubts about Shen Chao's background. (To be continued......)
