What is it like to drive on a winding mountain road in a snowstorm?
Others don't know, but Xie Yuan's own feeling at this moment is: terrified!
In bad weather, the single-way mirror window of the infantry fighting vehicle had an unclear view, and the sensor system also experienced signal delays from time to time, so Xie Yuan did not dare to drive too fast, but he could not drive too slowly - fast. It is easy to overturn under the conditions of excessive inertia, and if it is too slow, you have no idea how the situation will worsen.
This is just an environmental problem, not to mention the geth ambush troops hijacking the road.
The lucky thing among the misfortunes is that there are no geth colossi along the way this time. Otherwise, it is really hard to say whether Xie Yuan can survive this trip, and whether he can survive smoothly is still unknown.
But the trouble is, among the geth ambush troops left by Benicia to intercept them, there are only a small number of geth individual soldiers deployed on the road, but more of them are turrets!
The Geth heavy turret is placed at a high place. When it encounters a moving object, it will launch smart rockets to hit the moving object.
Then, the indoor tunnels are filled with geth rocket soldiers carrying effective damage to vehicles!
Xie Yuan, the driver, really worked very hard, because if he was not careful, after the mass effect field was broken, the accumulation of rockets could cause the walking tank to burn.
The firepower density of the Geth heavy turret is something that can be achieved in minutes.
Fortunately, Shepard's gunnery and machine gun shooting skills are quite superb, and Tali's role is also revealed at this time - she can not only help Shepard locate the ballistics more accurately, but also perform electronic warfare attacks. Disrupts turret aiming.
In the end, the infantry fighting vehicle made it through the murderous mountain road without any danger and arrived at the integrated research center of "Summit 15".
Although the state of this research center is not much better at this time.
…
"Users are warning that all Summit 15 facilities have suffered severe damage.
The facility is filled with biohazardous materials.
The virtual intelligent user interface is offline. "
After Shepard and his team of four killed the krogan mercenaries and geth death squads waiting for them in the research facility, these were the three sentences Shepard and the others heard.
The voice of this virtual intelligent VI is very soft, but the truth it tells is so cold and terrifying.
As a machinist, Tully knew exactly what the biggest problem with this facility was: "We have to get the reactor back up and running!"
So Shepard immediately led the four-person team and headed deep into the Central Research Institute.
But after killing another wave of Geth death squads ambushing nearby, new enemies began to appear on the floors above.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
A huge four-legged reptile with a huge mouthparts, and two huge tentacles growing around it, and at the end of the tentacles is a cross-clamp, which just made a "squeaking" sound, and it was from the opened tentacles. issued.
If a normal-sized insect looked like this, it would be intimidating, not to mention that individuals like them have grown to a huge size like a lion or tiger.
But what's even more frightening is that there are so many of them - dense swarms of them coming in groups waving their tentacles.
Shepard and Xie Yuan hurriedly switched to shotguns to blast these giant bugs, and they had to stop their crazy charge.
The bugs even spray acidic substances, which reminded Xie Yuan of the parasitic beast in UFO. That guy injects venom into civilians. Once ordinary people without protective clothing die, they will automatically become the nest of the parasitic beast.
Fortunately these bugs only spray acid.
After killing this insect team, Tully didn't know much about this insect-like creature: "I've never seen anything like this."
Liana was not sure, so she answered honestly: "Exobiology is not my major. Maybe someone in the laboratory knows."
But it happened that Xie Yuan really knew about this: “Tali, you don’t know that these bugs are normal.
Because this is a species that has been proven to be extinct, and it is also the enemy that the Krogan people of Lex once used to make great achievements, and the former enemy of the Citadel - Reknai. "
"Rachnai?!*3" the three ladies screamed.
"How do you know?" Shepard didn't expect Xie Yuan to be so knowledgeable, "You actually took exobiology as an elective?"
"Pfft! Hahahaha! Exobiology?! Are you serious?"
Xie Yuan laughed happily: "How can I have so much free time! It's history. I learned about it from the Historical Interesting Series."
"Historical Interesting Series?" Shepard frowned when he suddenly heard a strange name.
"Yeah... they are interesting readings like "100 Little Knowledge about the History of the Universe Before Humans Join the Galaxy Family" and "Fifty Thousand Years of the Universe"... I read them as stories and fables," Xie Yuan explained. .
"Well, I've never heard of these books." Shepard felt a little unfamiliar with these books that had an obvious earth flavor.
"That's normal... You either go to prestigious schools or receive professional and high-quality education. I'm different from you." Xie Yuan explained impatiently, "I didn't study well when I was a child. I was a scumbag. When I was frustrated, Isn’t it just reading these books to relieve boredom?”
"So you are a scumbag?" Shepard looked at Xie Yuan and teased.
"Yes! I'm a scumbag, don't you think it's funny?" Xie Yuan's face darkened, "Oh, if I hadn't been bad at studying, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to learn some unskilled martial arts to earn more money. eat."
"Hey!" Shepard immediately stopped Xie Yuan's self-deprecation, "At least I really don't know about the existence of Raiknai, and because of you, you can let me know in advance. This is your accumulated success over time."
"What use would it do you to know what this is earlier? Don't comfort me, I'm not that fragile."
Xie Yuan felt that Shepard was deliberately sarcastic and didn't pay much attention. He just offered to help everyone explore the path first, get rid of the nearby bugs and restore communications.
After that, he left first.
