The elevator slowly landed at the lowest floor, Li Longcheng tidied up his clothes, and then walked out of the elevator, and the soldiers who were responsible for protecting him immediately scattered and separated, checked the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no problem, he nodded to Li Longcheng, who then walked along the passage all the way forward until he came to the end of the passage.

This is a secret underground research facility, and in fact, not many people even inside the Star Federation know the secrets here. And the reason why Li Longcheng came here was because he received a message from the secret line——— an A-class secret member contacted him privately, claiming that he had discovered the reason for the Turui attack on the New Shanxi colony, and the matter was so important that he could only tell Li Longcheng.

Although Li Longcheng was also skeptical that this was a trap, in the end, he decided to take the trip himself.

"Click........."

The door of the research room slowly opened, and what appeared in front of Li Longcheng was not a clean and tidy space, but a place that looked like an underground mine. Traces of destruction could still be seen here, and in the hollow of the earth, a man was standing there, staring blankly at the stone wall in front of him.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head, and a pair of small eyes that looked like they had stayed up late for many years, with deep bags under their eyes, narrowed and stared at Li Longcheng.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the second person of the Star Alliance would actually come here, to be honest, I originally thought you would send someone over instead of leaving yourself."

"You should understand why I'm here, Dr. Herman."

Li Longcheng strode into the research room and stared at the man in front of him.

"You said that you knew why those aliens attacked the New Shanxi Colony, so I came, I hope you can give me a clear answer."

The reason why Li Longcheng came here was indeed a risky act, but for him, it was a very worthwhile adventure. Because until now, no one knows why the Turkish fleet suddenly attacked the colony of Xinshanxi, and even launched an attack on the human fleet. This is also the core argument of the Lords and factions, who believe that since they do not know the origin of the other party, then they should first make peace with the other party, and then slowly find out what the other side thinks.

But Li Longcheng doesn't think so, since the Citadel Council is a cross-galaxy galactic political body, then they should be very aware that it is very risky to attack the colonies of other races, because not every race is kind and bullying, maybe the other party will bite them in turn.

And in this case, the turbulent fleet actually forcibly attacked the colony of Xinshanxi, and even occupied it, until the last Star Alliance launched a counteroffensive and was repulsed, which is problematic no matter how you look at it.

"Hehe, since you're here, then I won't bury it anymore."

As he spoke, Dr. Herman walked over to the console and turned on the system. Soon, the lights around came on, shining on a metal stone tablet ——— in the center of the hollow.

"It's ..............."

"The ruins of Prosian, I don't think you're new to this."

“…………………”

Li Longcheng nodded, he was certainly no stranger to this. The ruins of Prosian are a relic civilization discovered by humans on alien planets. According to scientists, this civilization once flourished in the galaxy, and their footprints were almost all over most of the galaxy, leaving countless relics beyond human imagination. However, the Prothean clan eventually disappeared mysteriously, without a trace, and with no whereabouts.

And many of the technologies that Starlink has acquired after stepping into the universe have been obtained through excavation and research of the ruins of Prosian. Therefore, every Proxian relic is the top priority for the Star Alliance.

"What do you mean......... The Turks came here for the ruins of Prosian? Could it be that the Divine Castle also has Proscent Technology? ”

"Maybe so, but what I found was more interesting........."

Dr. Herman smiled as he spoke, and then he reached out and pressed it a few times on the counter. Soon, a ray of light began to emerge around the metal stele, enveloping it like lightning.

Seeing this, Li Longcheng frowned and stared at Herman, who shrugged his shoulders.

"Prothean people store all their knowledge and images in their consciousness, but the hasty connection of ordinary people with them is likely to bring unknowable risks. So I managed to activate the contents of the beacon in this way, allowing us to extract the contents in a safe state, of course, it is not complete at the moment. ”

As Herman spoke, the lightning around the metal stele shone brighter and brighter, and then, one by one, illusory, similar to 3D projection-like pictures, appeared in front of the stele.

It was a group of humanoids dressed in cosmic armor with beanie eyes that looked like insect people. Li Longcheng recognized at a glance that these were Proxian people, but he had only seen them on murals and other ruins before, and it was the first time he had seen a living Proxian person.

At this moment, the Protheus were gathering together, raising their heads and looking upwards, as if looking at the sky. After a few moments, they lowered their heads and fell to their knees.

Subsequently, Li Longcheng saw several tall figures appearing in the picture.

The giants were more than two meters tall, dressed in large, blue armor and armed with guns and swords. Then he saw one of Prosian's elders step forward and say something to the tall figures in blue armor, who nodded, and then handed a small square to Prosian's elder.

Elder Prosian then fell to his knees in excitement, and at the same time, the blue-armored figure standing in front of them also took off his helmet, revealing ——— human face.

However, the next moment, perhaps due to overheating or some other reason, the surrounding image disappeared instantly, and the device emitted a screeching alarm and then stopped.

“…………… What is, what? ”

Seeing this, Li Longcheng and his subordinates were stunned.

He knew Protheus, but ......... Why are there humans in this?

"That's why I'm looking for you."

Looking at Li Longcheng's shocked expression, Dr. Herman smiled, and Li Longcheng shook his head vigorously.

"It can't be! That's not how human history is written! According to previous research, Protheans disappeared thousands of years before the birth of humans! How did they end up together? ”

"That's my problem too, but ...... This is indeed true. ”

As he spoke, Dr. Herman pointed to the metal stele.

"If you don't believe it, then you can confront the beacon, and maybe you can learn the ins and outs of it all without going crazy........."

“………………………”

Hearing this, Li Longcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he stared at the metal stone tablet, and was speechless for a while.

At this moment, Li Longcheng felt that the reality was so absurd, and the world he knew seemed to have completely collapsed.

"This ......... It's fake! ”

In the end, Li Longcheng said such a sentence dryly, at this moment he felt that his words were extremely boring, the tongue that once made hundreds of millions of people cheer on the podium and called on everyone to unite as one, but at this moment it seemed to be frozen, and he didn't even turn a corner.

Even if Lee is not a historian or a scientist, he knows that if all this is true, then ...............

"Boom!!"

However, at this moment, a dull roar and vibration suddenly came, interrupting Li Longcheng's thoughts. He frowned and looked up.

"What happened?"

"We were attacked! It's Batalian! ”

"What?"

Hearing the report from the upper and lower faces, Li Longcheng was taken aback.

"How did they get here? Damn, what about the fleet? And what about our convoy? ”

"We can't get in touch with them, the communication is cut off, and they don't seem to be here! The opponent is attacking fiercely, and we ..............."

However, before the words could be finished, with a scream, the communication was interrupted again.

"Batarui ..............."

After all, Li Longcheng was from the army, and after noticing that the situation was not good, he immediately took out his weapon from his arms, and at the same time motioned for the others to gather here immediately. Then, Lee glanced at Dr. Herman, who hurriedly raised his hand.

"It's none of my business, you should think more about the problem among your subordinates, of course, if you don't believe me, you can handcuff me."

"Then let's take it."

Li Longcheng directly signaled his subordinates to hand-mail Dr. Herman, and at the same time he was ready for battle. At this moment, Li Longcheng's brain began to work again, thinking quickly about the situation in front of him.

It is definitely no coincidence that the Batari people came here, knowing that their fleet is still stationed above the west of Xinshan, and logically speaking, it is impossible for these aliens to break through the defenses and come here. But now, they are here, and while it is not ruled out that Dr. Herman is an inner ghost, it is ......... Li Longcheng believes that this is a plan made by those who do not want to see themselves in power, using a knife to kill people!

It's just that those guys are secretly colluding with alien races............... What a fall!

Thinking of this, Li Longcheng clenched the weapon in his hand and stared at the door.

He had an ominous premonition that he would really die here.

"Boom!!"

At that moment, the sealed gate was blown open in an instant, and a group of Batarui rushed in with weapons in hand.

"Fire!!"

Li Longcheng gave an order, aimed at the enemy in front of him and pulled the trigger. Soon, the gunfire was loud, and the two sides entered a fierce battle almost in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning, Li Longcheng could also suppress the attack of the Batarui people with the help of firepower, but soon the other party also responded, and soon, I saw two or three large mechs coming out of it, imprinted with a rain of bullets and bullets to move forward.

"Damn ..............."

Seeing this scene, Li Longcheng gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that this group of Batarui people would even bring ......... automatic mechas! And with only a few small pistols on his side, there is no way to fight such an enemy!

Are you really going to die here today?

"Knock......... Boom......... Boom!!! ”

However, just as Li Longcheng was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly, he heard heavy footsteps from the other end of the passage, Li Longcheng raised his head to look, and then he saw a tall black shadow directly crashing into the BataSwiss soldiers in the rear, so he rushed in stride, and then waved the war hammer in his hand and smashed it down hard at the automatic mecha in front of him!

"Boom !!"

With just a hammer, I saw that the automatic mecha that had resisted the attack of the garrison without any damage was completely exploded and shattered!
