Chapter 237: The Final Wait Before the War

After the door of the warehouse opened, Shen Chao saw the scene he wanted to see, 3 shuttles docked in the warehouse, and Dr. Neville and Jonathan were directing several engineering machines to load the boxes one by one.

"Is all the observation equipment in place?" Shen Chao nodded when he saw this, and then asked, this may be the most important branch mission in their plan to cross this time, aiming to record the whole process of the upcoming Battle of the Divine Fortress.

The implementation of this branch plan was simple, and Custer used the month spent on the Citadel to hire a film crew and have them set up cameras and other detection equipment in predetermined locations to directly observe the area above the guard.

Shen Chao hoped that this observation plan would record the battle of the Divine Fortress about the overlord's actions after entering the Divine Castle, and completely record the overlord's actions after entering the Divine Fortress.

As long as this plan can be successful, they will be able to evaluate the basic indicators such as the overlord's attack, defense, and speed after the fact, and thoroughly understand the ability of the overlord-level reaper in a head-on battle.

This is a crucial arrangement, and the results of the entire assessment are relevant to their future development in this and other planes. The class of battleship chosen in the future and so on and so forth...... There's a lot involved. It is precisely because of this that Shen Chao attaches great importance to the implementation of this plan.

"All 334 observation points have been set up, and the control terminal is in a safe house not far away. When the overlord arrives, we will definitely be able to record the entire battle without loss. Custer gave a positive message.

As he spoke, he also transmitted a string of hundreds of control codes to Shen Chao's universal tool, and they had a control terminal in the safe house where they lived in the Wei District, which could directly receive information from these cameras and sensors.

"That is to say, a qiē is ready?" Shen Chao thought about it, and there was nothing else to do.

"That's right, all the targets have been met. We can withdraw as planned. "Custer has already arranged a qiē on his side, and it's time for the final stage.

After locking the warehouse and confirming that no one was watching, Shen Chao launched a crossing and sent the three shuttles and his teammates back to the base. Dr. Neville and Jonathan were both left at the base, ready to be picked up at any moment, and Shen Chao returned to the world of Mass Effect with Custer and Alice.

After coming back, Shen Chao confirmed Sister Xue's preparations, and after confirming that she was almost ready, he asked Custer and Alice to wait for him in the safe house of the Wei District, and he rushed to the Circle District by himself, preparing to lift the lock of Normandy there.

After returning to the Ring Zone. Shen Chao tidied up his attire, then strode into the embassy area, and finally met Udian again in the Human Ambassador's office.

"Ah, you're here, we can ......" The human ambassador immediately walked over to welcome him when he saw him enter, he hoped to arrange a ship and supplies for Shen Chao as soon as possible, so that he could perform the role of a ghost as soon as possible.

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Shen Chao also said sorry in his heart. Then, without saying a word, he teleported over, and then gently slapped the back of the ambassador's neck, knocking out the ambassador who was old enough to be his grandfather without any suspense.

Look at the old man who was knocked to the ground by himself. Shen Chao said sorry again in his heart, respecting the old and loving the young still has a little place in his moral outlook.

What's more, the other party is also an important person who pushed himself into the ghost position anyway, and it took a lot of effort to help him a lot behind the scenes. If it weren't for the urgency of time, Shen Chao really wouldn't have done this.

But apologies are apologies, but his work is not slow. After knocking the ambassador unconscious, he did not hesitate to take out the duct tape and tie the ambassador firmly to his office chair. …,

Confirm that it is tied tightly, and also seal the back of the ambassador's mouth. He opened the office control terminal on the ambassador's desk, found the port control interface, and manually unlocked the port in Normandy.

In the port area a few kilometers away, the electromagnetic lock used to hold Normandy in place was suddenly unlocked, and Shen Chao immediately opened the universal tool to inform Sister Xue to leave the fortress quickly. Sister Xue thanked her in the communication channel. Then without hesitation, he ordered the clown to drive Normandy out of the port.

Watching the Normandy ship leave port and quickly leave the Divine Fort on the control interface, Shen Chao relieved his heart, there was no problem with the ability of Sister Xue and her shipwright.

As long as they leave along the way, they will be able to catch up with Salen in Aylos, and then. Just leave it to fate...... Anyway, Shen Chao felt that his safety would not be affected by these uncertain factors.

Ten minutes later, Udian slowly came to his senses, Shen Chao was still here, he still had something to explain to the human ambassador, and if he was lucky, he would not have to take any responsibility for his actions just now.

"I feel okay, Mr. Ambassador, I don't use much force...... Shen Chao asked with concern about the ambassador's work.

Hearing this, Udian slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he saw Shen Chao standing in front of him, he wanted to stand up, but he was firmly tied to his office chair. So he ended up just struggling a few times.

"What did you do?" Udian asked angrily. He was just restrained in a chair at this moment, and the tape used to seal his mouth had long been removed by Shen Chao.

Udian saw the tape on his arms and legs, and then looked at Shen Chao in front of him, and immediately realized that Shen Chao must have stunned him just now. And it should have been that he did something overstepping his authority while he was in a coma.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ambassador, but I just used your authority to let Normandy go so that Shepard could continue her mission. Shen Chao said and adjusted the control interface to the operation record just now, so that Udian, who was trapped in the chair, could see it clearly.

Although he apologized, there was no remorse in his tone, it was just for the sake of the future, and when this matter passed, he still had to contact the human ambassador often. So he didn't want to stiffen their relationship too much.

"You are treasonous, Major, do you know what you have done?" "Udian's nose was about to be crooked after seeing the operation record, Shen Chao used his authority to let go of Normandy, so no matter how he dealt with it, he would also be responsible.

It is a felony to violate the joint decision of the parliament and the Star League to let Normandy go without permission. If it were a different person, I should have gone straight to the cell at this time.

"I know, but I've just given all of us a chance, a chance to stop the Reaper from coming back anytime soon. Shen Chao was not surprised by his reaction, if someone else was sitting in a position like Udian, he would not be able to settle down when he encountered this kind of fucking thing.

"You can't believe her, there is no reaper ...... at all" Although Udian couldn't move, it didn't affect his anger, half of it was a "reckless" behavior.

Didn't he know how hard it had taken Starlink to put him in the position of a ghost? Such behavior is likely to make the new appointee unstable, and even has a small chance that the council will directly dismiss him from the ghost. Then their previous efforts will be in vain, unless...... Udian closed his mouth when he thought of this, he wanted to hear what else Shen Chao had to say.

"I've been following Shepard for a while, I've met the Overlord, the Reaper is not a legend, you and the others will soon change their opinions. Mr. Ambassador. ā€

"What if I don't want to change my perspective?" ā€ā€¦,

"Don't jump to conclusions, Mr. Ambassador. Even now that Shepard has rushed to Eros, there is still a good chance that she will not be able to stop the Overlord from coming. ā€

"The current Citadel fleet is strong, but it can't stop a true reaper, so, in a few days, you and the rest of the council will see the overlord with your own eyes, and you can decide what to believe when the time comes." ā€

"And before that? Parliament will soon know the news of the departure from Normandy. Udian didn't look like he was joking, so he thought about it and asked, already thinking about how to deal with this possible diplomatic crisis.

"No one needs to know what's going on here, Shepard is gone, and the council won't know who let her go anytime soon." Shen Chao Shen Chao said as he deleted the operation record on the ambassador's terminal. And Udian didn't say anything to stop him when he saw him doing this.

"There will be a record of their master control room. They will eventually find out the truth. Udian reminded with a bowed face.

"That's right, but there is only a record of the entry and exit information of the ships, they can't prove that it was your terminal that released Normandy, they will need to conduct an investigation for at least a few days, and Elos is only 1 day away from here......" Shen Chao gave Udian a detailed introduction to his "guess".

"What if you're wrong? ā€

"In that case, I will bear all the blame of the council, and you will not be affected......" Shen Chao assured without pressure. As he spoke, he untied the tape that had trapped Udian and allowed him to regain his freedom of movement.

"Now, you have a choice, Mr. Ambassador. You can either notify the guards outside of trying to arrest me, or you can let me go, either way, and within two days you will see the Reaper coming. ā€

After Shen Chao finished speaking, he made a restrained posture and waited for Udian to make a choice. Of course, he was not worried that the other party would arrest him, because he could easily escape the current environment at any time. No matter what Udian chooses, it will not affect his follow-up plans.

"You go, but this is for the benefit of the Star Alliance, don't take this as if I forgive you, if your prediction is wrong, I will be the first to mention yƬ to cancel your ghost qualification." Udian thought for a moment and warned, and then drove Shen Chao away.

Shen Chao left the embassy without saying a word, and returned to the guard area to join the others. For the rest of the day, they waited quietly in a safe house in the Citadel Guard, waiting for the Battle of the Citadel to begin, waiting for the arrival of the Overlord. (To be continued.)
