Chapter 0544 Not enough to eat and no energy to work↘(1/4)
Five days later, after Normandy No. 2 cleared of suspected affair with terrorists, it had been five days since it left the God Castle Space Station...
Then, when Shepard and her crew began to recruit elites who were said to be the entire Milky Way based on the recruitment list provided by Cerberus's Phantom Man, they encountered a lot of trouble... In short, the process was not too smooth anyway.
On the first day after leaving the Castle space station, they used the Castle's mass effect repeater to quickly reach the galaxy where the planet Cowers was located. Originally, Shepard planned to recruit a Klogan warlord named Ochil!
Because, it is said that the Klogan and that Ochil are very knowledgeable about genes! Moreover, the other party has a unclear relationship with the collector? If they can successfully recruit or capture the other party and receive any form of help from the other party, they will probably be more helpful for Shepard's mission and a better understanding of the collector?
However, it's a pity...
When Normandy II arrived above the stronghold on the planet of Caules, he only found a piece of ruin on the ground... There had been a group of guys named "Qingyang Mercenaries" who sneaked into the base of the Klogan warlords for at least one month before Shepard, and destroyed all the information and took away all valuable things!
There, except for a large area of ruins, countless ragged cultivation troughs and traces of battle, their first solicitation operation was nothing.
After searching the Crowe on the planet Cowers, he found that there were indeed no other valuable things and clues. Only in the depths of the stronghold, the one abandoned by the sneak attackers who had already started to rot. After they were about to recruit the corpse called Ochil... they were going to recruit, and they had to shift their targets and use repeaters to turn to the Omega Space Station of the Realm God Galaxy. They planned to recruit three other people on the list and a former Shepard comrade-in-arms Turiman sniper Gallas!
Even though there have been dirty privately between humans and Turi people, even if they are maintained only on the surface, this does not prevent Shepard from having one or two Turi people's old friends! What's more, it is a arduous and great task for her to carry out, and the Turi people Gailas who had pursued Saren with her was undoubtedly the best choice!
The other party's ability is unquestionable. Even if there is no list provided by the Phantom Man, she will recruit some of her original old subordinates.
...
Located in the Omega Space Station of the Realm God Galaxy, this is a very magical place...
This large space station was built on an asteroid that collected minerals and was dug to the hollow. It was originally a mineral collection point for the Turi people. Later, due to the chaotic galaxies suitable for some people to escape, as well as excessive excavation and continuous construction, it has been developed to this day.
If you look at the Omega Space Station from the outside of the universe, its appearance is actually like a huge jellyfish in the universe. On top is the rock cover of the asteroid, on the bottom are long and huge metal buildings, as well as tentacle-like engines and other detection devices.
According to incomplete statistics, it has a total population of nearly 8 million, and to some extent it can even be comparable to the Divine Castle Space Station, the center of the Milky Way! The orbital period around the star it flies is 6.9 Earth years, and the total length from top to bottom is 44.7 kilometers, almost as long as the Divine Castle... It can be said that it is a civilian version of the giant space station similar to the Divine Castle Space Station. Anyway, it is much stronger than the Star Alliance Gagarin Space Station and the like!
Normandy II has been harboring in this space station for one day. After roughly figuring out the situation here, they were divided into three groups and started their recruitment operations.
Shepard, Miranda and Jacob intervened in a group of mercenaries and launched an attack on a certain place!
That's right, it's just an attack! And it's still inside the Omega Space Station!
In fact, Omega Space Station is the saying of the Earth Star Alliance. The reason why it is called "Omega" is because it is taken from the last of the ancient Greek letters on Earth. In the view of Star Alliance, this place is both an end and a new beginning for some people. It is the last destination of some people (criminals, thugs, wanted persons)?
Asari likes to call this space station "the heart of the devil". They like and advocate order, and believe that the evil people from the entire galaxy gather here, which is a dirty place! As for the Serarize people, they call it "secret place". Sometimes they can purchase it from here to obtain some magical technologies that cannot be obtained in the mainstream world or beacons left over from ancient times, etc.; the Turi people who advocate force even call this place "Fatherland", which is a good place for criminals to escape pursuit and continue to live!
Those Klogans who were suppressed to the point of almost extermination called this place a "land of opportunity" because for their miserable race, coming here to be a mercenary and earning some hard-earned money has become one of their few choices. Except for Omega, every place within the radiation range of the rights of the god castle, is in favor of their race!
As for what other races call this place, I won’t explain in detail.
In short, Omega Space Station is a paradise for criminals, terrorists and aliens who are not welcomed by the Cathedral Council! This is why it has so many people and can continue to flourish.
In this Omega, there is no organization that maintains order, no central government or unified authoritative organization... Here, it is really a lawless place where demons gather, and it is a place where strength is respected!
As long as you have strong enough strength and as long as you are not killed by someone with cold guns, no one will care even if you kill and set fire all day!
Da da da da da!
Bang!!
“…”
At this time, deep in the Omega Space Station, a person called "Angel" by the Omega people was besieged and surrounded by three mercenaries of Qingyang, Tianai and Blood Crown. He was using a sniper rifle to deal with the three mercenaries alone, and at least on the steel bridge he deliberately kept, he killed hundreds of invaders.
Among them, there are dozens of mercenaries of various tribes and dozens of various combat robots and machinery!
"call!"
"I'm glad to see you again, Commander Shepard... To be honest, I always thought you were dead!"
The Turi man in blue armor, the "Article" Gailas killed a bald enemy mercenary with the last shot. After finding that the enemy had not attacked again, he returned to his fortress. The thickness of the wall alone was nearly one meter of steel safe house, and then looked at the two helpers who were leading the two helpers, who had suddenly turned against him before, and helped him kill several intruders, which made the three mercenary groups so angry that they jumped straight. In the end, Lieutenant Colonel Shepard, the former commander who successfully came to him!
He obviously didn't know the woman wearing black and white tight thin armor behind the other party and another black bald man. Just now, when the two broke through his defense, he threw a few shots and almost killed them... Fortunately, the shields of these guys were quite strong and were not penetrated by him, Gallas.
"I'm also very happy to see you again, Gailas!"
"You are right. I am indeed dead, but I am rescued again... The matter is very tortuous. If you have the chance, I will tell you in detail! By the way, what are you doing here in Omega? I originally thought you should be working in the God Castle?"
If Cerberus hadn't shown that the other party was indeed in Omega, if she hadn't had to recruit Moddin from this chaotic space station this time? Sollus and Zaid Masani, Shepard wouldn't have believed that this Turkish man had actually ran to such a place and even claimed the title of "Angel".
Before, she signed a contract with the Qingyang Mercenary Group and mixed into the team of mercenaries outside attacking the "Arc's" safe house. After being surprised to find that the Archangel was indeed her old friend Gelas Varkarien, she turned against the enemy and broke a line of defense, causing great casualties and chaos to the enemy, and then rushed to Gelas's safe house in one go.
"Castle? Humph!"
"I've had enough of the idiot bureaucrats in the castle and those bullshit rules! I just want to rely on my own abilities to do more, rather than wasting my time there and wasting my precious time in that decaying and depraved space station!"
Speaking of which, since Shepard had an accident two years ago and was declared dead by the God Castle and Star Alliance, Gelas, who returned to the God Castle to report his work, had also stayed in the God Castle for a while. Soon, he couldn't stand the rules that he had to follow the rules for everything he did, and even catching a criminal had to be dulled for a long time!
He believes that such a place has seriously limited his strength and is not suitable for his development.
So, as soon as he became angry, he ran to Omega Space Station alone, which was not under the control of the law of the Godcastle, and came to such a place where no one cared about it. His purpose was to pursue the glorious deeds of Shepard, who had been "dead", to fight criminals and promote justice, and to commemorate the busy years he had been working together for the survival of the Milky Way with Commander Shepard...
Because at Omega Space Station, except for most ordinary residents who live here, none of those good-looking guys have clean butts!
So, Gellas, who had killed too many people, quickly aroused "public anger" and was joined by Qingyang, Tianai and Blood Crown three mercenaries to encircle him in this safe house. He also unexpectedly met his old commander Shepard.
Just now, after seeing Shepard's face in his eight times scope, he almost trembled his hand and shot over!
"I don't understand, Galas, how did you provoke almost all the large mercenary groups in the entire Realm God Galaxy?"
"You can really cause trouble!"
"If we hadn't just met you, you would have been in danger! You may not know how many people they gathered outside to deal with you?"
Taking advantage of the time when the three mercenary groups were now terrified by Gailas and the time when she was disrupted by her Shepard's rebellion just now began to rectify, Shepard quickly asked with a smile.
Fortunately, the battle was within the Omega Space Station. The complex environment and terrain here severely restricted the deployment and use of heavy equipment. Otherwise, Gallas would have insisted that they would not have arrived much.
“It’s really a bit difficult…”
"Commander, you may not believe it. I just tried to punish the criminals seriously, and I never care which organization the people killed belong to!"
That’s right, this is why Galas was so famous in Omega Space Station, and was praised by countless ordinary Omega residents and presented the title of ‘Arc’!
Anyone who is indeed a damn crime and deserves to be damned by him, no matter what race, no matter which force the other party is, or how rich and powerful the other party is, is always a fatal bullet shot from a certain corner by him!
And if one bullet doesn’t die, then two!!
Anyway, in the past two years, no one who was targeted by him had escaped by luck! If he had not accidentally revealed his whereabouts when he killed the top leaders of the mercenary group recently, he might have been able to continue. It would have been impossible for him to have been surrounded by those people here together.
The only thing he had not expected in the past two years was the situation in front of him... He did not expect that the three mercenary groups, Qingyang, Tianai and Blood Crown, who were originally hostile to each other or had dirty tricks, would let go of their grudges and unite to form such a big battle in order to deal with him?
"I'm sorry, Chief Shepard, at the beginning, I shot you in order not to make the mercenaries suspicious... But please believe that it's just a bullet that knocked down your shield."
When he found that the two humans behind Shepard seemed not very friendly to him and seemed to have thought of something, Gailas quickly explained this sentence.
"Okay! I won't talk about these things for now. Now you talk about them, how should we rush out?"
"You should have a safe retreat here, right?"
Shepard, who came in from outside and then suddenly turned against him, knew more than anyone else how many troops were there in the three mercenary groups now besieging here!
Not only do they have elite mercenaries and temporary workers from all races, but they also have a large number of robots, floating cannons and several fighter jets. If this safe house in Geras does not have a viable escape passage, it would not be easy for them to leave safely.
"Well..."
"In fact, there is no way out!"
"I closed all the passages to my safe house, and then only left the bridge in front... You just saw that those rash idiots were all exposed to my guns. So many of them died and they could not rush in... Of course, we might not be able to rush out... Maybe we can continue to kill some of their people here and let them retreat by themselves?"
There is definitely no safe passage or something. In fact, if Shepard hadn't come in, he would have planned to fight here and drag the three mercenaries for ten days and half a month.
Anyway, Galas was alone, and his family was not hungry if he was fed, and no matter how he dragged on, it was always more beneficial to him as the defensive side. Those mercenary groups with great families and great businesses could not spend it with him alone at any cost.
In addition, his safe house is located inside the space station, so he is even less afraid that the enemy will use powerful weapons unless they want to die together?
"Don't worry..."
"So far, I've been blocking them in this place for many days...Their offensive is weakening now, and if you three add me, I'm sure I'll defend until they can't stand the losses and collapse and retreat!"
"Or, wait until they leak a flaw before rushing out?"
"But it may take a lot of time..."
Seeing the three people, especially Shepard's face, which seemed to have some anxiety, Gelas quickly explained and comforted her.
For those mercenary groups, whether the besiege of Galas was successful or not, it was just a loss-making business that was consuming manpower and material resources. As long as they could be hurt, they would get out of here after seeing that there was no sufficient benefit. Galas was really not worried at all!
"No! We don't have that much time to spend here with them!"
"Gelas, I came to Omega Space Station this time to recruit you!"
"Of course, there are two other people... If nothing unexpected happens, they may have returned to my Normandy II spacecraft and waited for us! Now, you should be the one who is not there!"
Keep guarding here. If it is normal, Shepard doesn't matter, but it's definitely not possible now!
We need to quickly crush the collector's conspiracy, investigate the relationship between the collector and the harvester, and we need to figure out when the harvester will descend to the galaxy and best get some evidence so that the castle and the star alliance will prepare early, but she will not stay here to fight with those mercenaries!
So, Shepard is different from Geras. She really doesn't have time to play defensive fortress or games with this guy here. She must rush out early and return to her Normandy No. 2 and continue to carry out the tasks she shoulders.
"Normandy 2...recruit me..."
"Shepard...has something big happened in the Milky Way in the past two years in Omega?"
Gelas, who has been busy playing the Hidden Cat game with the criminals who have been busy with Omega Space Station and cannot fight, obviously does not know much about the current situation outside the Milky Way, and he does not have so much energy to care about too much.
However, he still guessed something not very good from Shepard's words...
“What else can it be?”
"It's those harvesters and collectors! The castle and star couplet have never been willing to believe their existence. What we have to do is find evidence of their existence, crush their conspiracy, and then do what we should do but others are unwilling to do!"
To be continued...
