The reason why this situation occurred was not that Shen Chao did not attach importance to negotiations with them, but because Shen Chao was receiving a "distinguished guest" in another plane at this time, and he could not come back for the time being. And the story of this "distinguished guest" who had to be personally received by him began a day ago.

At the same time almost a day ago, Shen Chao was still leisurely looking at the exam reports of the students he had left behind on the Budapest. The students' performance in the test was generally very good, although everyone was temporarily paired, but now most of the teams have cooperated smoothly. It is a full reflection of the results of their training.

Moreover, in many tasks that require response, most of the students are good and have not been disrupted by unexpected events. Basically can complete difficult tasks in complex field environments. There is only one thing that Shen Chao is not very satisfied with, that is, many students have appeared in the exam, which affects their appearance in the evacuation stage.

But these are not big problems, so Shen Chao does not need to rush back because of this. He was going to wait all the time on the Budapest, and when the delegations from both the fugitive fleet and the Theron had seen the gift he had given, at least one of them would immediately contact him, and then he could make the corresponding demands and force them to accept them as planned.

His plan was a good one, but there was a small problem, which was that there was more than one area in the area connected to the portal network that needed his attention. On the ME plane, which he no longer paid much attention to, a special investigation against him has entered its final stages.

In an inconspicuous star system in the Artemis sector of the ME plane, an ordinary medium-sized cargo ship is cruising at sub-light speed according to its own route. Tens of millions of kilometers behind it. The refurbished and upgraded Normandy SR1 frigate is carefully tailing its tracks.

In the communication room of the Normandy approaching the bridge, Sister Xue was making a confidential call with Admiral Hackett in other star sectors through the newly installed quantum communication platform in Guò. The topic of their conversation this time was Shen Chao.

"I've checked all the records and traces, and all the vanished cargo ships must have gone missing in a few systems near me now. No matter how secluded his shelter is, the final waypoint must be nearby, and even if there is a new accident, I will definitely be able to find new clues here......" Sister Xue reported to Admiral Hackett with strong confidence.

Almost a month ago, he received a new assignment from Admiral Hackett, asking her to investigate his former comrade-in-arms, Shen Chao. And the Council of the Citadel gave her exactly the same task around the same time.

Tong Guò compared the information given to her by both sides, and she knew that not long after the Battle of the Divine Fortress, Shen Chao had fooled the council into making a special plan. The project, now known as Project Bunker, aims to create a large, secluded shelter through a completely black-box operation by Guò Shen's own person.

It's like the almost successful refuge that the Protheans had built before. The goal of this bunker plan is also to create a large shelter that the Reaper cannot discover. Let a few people escape the reincarnation of ruining miè.

If their efforts to fight the Reaper in this cycle still fail, the absolute secret sanctuary in this location will serve as a hiding place for important people, helping them to avoid this reapera cycle in order to fight again in the next reincarnation.

Frankly. The survival of this plan is not surprising. At least Sister Xue knew that there was a similar plan being implemented within Starlink. In the last reincarnation, although there was only one Proxian Tong Guò refuge, lived to this reincarnation. But this is at least a hope for the magnates, at least far more than the hope of defeating the Reapers with a new fleet.

What really surprised the Star Alliance and even the Divine Citadel Council was that all the personnel and materials that Shen Chao had deployed to his bunker plan ended up like mud cows entering the sea. It's completely gone! Note that there is no sign of zài at all, no matter how advanced the communication equipment on board the ship!

However, this is not to say that people and supplies will go missing in the first place, on the contrary, all personnel and supplies are well documented before departure. All the personnel on each cargo ship and personnel transport ship requisitioned by the bunker plan were volunteers recruited by the Citadel Council according to the plan.

Motorists are no exception, they are usually a large family with a large family, and everyone knows that they are going to a place that the Reaper cannot find. We all know that this is a journey that will never return, but as long as the trip starts, no one can quit halfway.

According to Sister Xue's investigation, each cargo ship recruited by the bunker plan has a strict sailing plan and discipline before departure, and usually the sailing plan will contain more than a dozen waypoints, and the sailing plan will not be changed for any reason.

At the first few waypoints, the ships are clear about where they are going, and they will keep a record at the ports marked at their respective waypoints, but as their routes extend into the middle of nowhere, their waypoints become quite jumpy.

Eventually, at one of the waypoints, the cargo ship will be inspected by unidentified unarmed surprise boarding, after which a new sailing plan will be obtained. And this new sailing plan is the so-called final three-way point!

This final three-way point is the crux of the journey, and according to the new voyage plan, the requisitioned ships will make three fixed-point jumps, and soon after one of the jumps disappear without a trace, never to be found again.

This is the most nerve-wracking part, because although the Milky Way is very large, there are not many dead spots in transportation and communication due to the well-developed transportation network composed of mass effect repeaters and the prototype of a quantum communication network that is beginning to take shape. It is almost impossible to make a large number of people and materials disappear.

Miraculously, the council that knew about the plan and the Star Alliance, which later found out, organized a lot of forces to go to the bottom, but all attempts failed. Once they pass through the final three waypoints, both the cargo ship they are tracking and the person in charge of tracking will eventually disappear without a trace.

At least 4 Shroud Ghosts disappeared along with the cargo ship they tracked when the investigation was close to a breakthrough, and there is no news of whether they are dead or alive, and it is unknown how many of the Starlink investigators have disappeared for the same reason.

To this day, the implementation of Shen Chao's bunker plan has made hundreds of thousands of "volunteers" and hundreds of millions of tons of supplies disappear without a trace. There is no definite information about the Vault other than the fact that the original group of engineers who assembled the Zero space station were sent back and showed that it actually existed.

The reason why Sister Xue knew this was because of his unremitting efforts to finally find out the affiliation of the unidentified armed forces who boarded the ship for inspection, and they turned out to be the private army of the shadow brokers! When he learned the news a few days ago, he was shocked and speechless for a long time.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't have imagined that Shen Chao would actually have something to do with the shadow agent, but this is a good explanation why Shen Chao always seems to have no shortage of action funds and accurate precursor information when working with him.

At this time, it has been nearly 3 months since Shen Chao last appeared in the ME plane, and the doubts of the council and the Star Alliance about him have reached their peak, and Sister Xue is no exception. But as long as you can't find a shelter, you can't find Shen Chao, and naturally you can't ask Shen Chao face to face what is going on.

And based on the decreasing rate of the amount of supplies removed from the bunker plan, both the Council and Starlink speculate that the construction of the vault is nearing completion. In other words, if they don't take the opportunity to find out where this shelter is, they may not have a chance to find out.

Although Shen Chao regularly sends back the latest photos of the people who have entered his shelter through various channels, proving that they are all safe and healthy, no one can tell where his shelter is from the photos with a uniform background.

From the design purpose of the bunker plan, this is a good phenomenon, indicating that the location of this shelter is indeed very safe, in a place where no one can find it, but combined with the background of the current galactic preparations and the possible connection between Shen Chao and the shadow agent, Sister Xue decided to investigate it carefully.

Both the Star Federation and the Citadel Council have speculated about Shen Chao's methods of hiding so many people and materials, from brainwashing and controlling him to using some unknown technical means to hide the location of the shelter he has established, and so on, there are endless theories, but they can't imagine that the truth is actually even more bizarre.

After finishing her communication report with Hackett, Sister Xue left the communication room and walked down the stairs to the lowest deck, where she stopped in front of a large sealed utility room door on the engine deck and opened the electronic door with her security code.

In the space of only about 30 square meters, there were five people, four of whom were heavily armed Starlink Marines, and in the middle of them was a young Asian woman whose limbs were fixed to the floor with sturdy iron cables.

Seeing that it was Sister Xue coming in, several soldiers immediately saluted, and after Sister Xue returned the salute, she signaled them to go out, and he wanted to talk to this prisoner. If her intel isn't problematic and the prisoner isn't lying, then they'll soon be tracking down their target ship to find the final point of the bunker plan.

The difficulty is that Sister Xue has no idea what will happen after reaching the so-called final node. He didn't want to disappear like his fellow Ghosts, and that's why she took this mysterious prisoner with her.

"We've arrived at the predetermined location, Ms. Jiang Tengxia, now, tell me what will happen next...... Sister Xue asked at a distance. The young woman, whom she called Eto Kasumi, was a professional thief he had captured in Ilim with great difficulty last month.

According to Sister Xue's intelligence, this female thief is likely to be the only one who has seen the end of the final three-way point and returned alive. Unlike what the Council and even the Star Alliance imagined, Shen Chao's bunker plan was not executed as tightly as it seemed. (To be continued......)
