It took Shepard and the three of them a while to officially eliminate the geth enemies harassing the colony called "Pearl of the East".
But it's hard to say whether these are all enemies, but as far as Xie Yuan can see now, everyone's morale is so... low.
The civilians were forced to pick up their guns and stand guard by the bunker. If they saw the guy who looked like a composite, they might pull the trigger.
Moreover, the entire colony seemed to be suffering from a lack of water. Some people had already fallen unconscious on the ground due to deep exhaustion.
After going around in a big circle, Shepard and the others discovered Fontaine and the others. At this moment, this guy named Fontaine was arguing with his assistants in the heart of the colony.
Fontaine looked very happy to see Shepard's arrival—pleasantly happy. Assistant Alicia also complained about Shepard's late arrival, but Fang Zhou immediately scolded the assistant's behavior.
This is a sophisticated and worldly guy! A trace of evaluation arose in Xie Yuan's heart, fearing that the assistant's harsh words would cause the rescuer's displeasure. Fang Dan was a very cautious guy.
Unfortunately, the opportunity for further communication was disrupted by an unexpected situation.
A group of geth suddenly appeared from the area behind, and the four Shepards could only kill the attacking geth first.
After killing all the geth weapons dropped from a geth transport ship, Shepard continued to talk to Fontaine and Alicia.
The Oriental Pearl Colony is just a sub-colony of a company called Exno, and Geth has already put more troops into the main colony.
But even so, there are many difficulties that need to be considered in the Oriental Pearl Colony - food, clothing, housing and transportation are all involved, and in terms of safety, there are also a large number of geth causing trouble in the underground passages.
Shepard, who has a strong sense of role model, naturally wants to first solve the basic survival problems of the Oriental Pearl Colony.
But when he first started to assist, Shepard discovered that the residents of the entire Oriental Pearl Colony had a problem.
They have a very strong desire to reduce foreign enemies and restore chaos, but their emotions and joys and sorrows about their loved ones have a false sense of acting.
She also asked Ark about this, but the explanation she gave was "because they became emotional after losing their loved ones."
Shepard didn't believe it, because the team was good at observing such issues. Xie Yuan had already said that the members who came to contact them before were in a controlled state.
Although Xie Yuan no longer raises any questions about this in the team, Shepard is very aware of a theory: if you find one cockroach in the house, there may be twenty in the house.
However, even if he knew that the residents of the Oriental Pearl were abnormal, Shepard decided to arrange his livelihood first.
Restore the water supply to the facility, kill the leader of the uncontrolled Weren (an uncontrolled canine beast) to replenish the meat supply, kill the geth entrenched in the underground passage, dismember an old Mass Effect vehicle, and obtain batteries to maintain it. Operation of public facilities, etc…
But on the way to open the third water supply valve, Shepard met a guy named Yin Newstead.
This is a guy who talks nonsense. One moment he can calmly warn Shepard not to go underground, and the next moment he hysterically wails that he is being controlled.
Shepard wanted to know what this man named Yin En could learn, but unfortunately, besides saying something about "the master's thorns are whipping", he only said that the purpose of the geth is not to investigate something, but to pull out something. .
Shepard started to ask Yin En what help he needed, but Yin En said that he was in a battle of "running through thorns" and Shepard couldn't help him.
If he continues to ask questions, Yin En will only answer "ask Fang Dan", and then fall into a complete distortion.
Tali believed that this person was no longer normal and wanted everyone to stay away from this guy. Seeing that there was no way to make this guy return to normal, Shepard had no choice but to give up and turn around to confront the Geth who suddenly appeared.
After the operation of the third water supply valve was restored, the water supply completely returned to normal.
Returning to the Oriental Pearl, Shepard began to reply to the person in charge of public equipment maintenance, food inventory and water sources with news of the completion of the task, indirectly and temporarily solving the livelihood problem of the Oriental Pearl.
Unfortunately, when he finally asked Fang Dan about Yin En, Fang Dan replied that Yin En was just sick and could not help him. If necessary, he still hoped that Yin En could live with them.
Well, after solving the livelihood problem of the Oriental Pearl Colony, and not being able to figure out what the problems were with the colonial residents, and with the geth unable to attack here for a short period of time, Shepard chose to set off.
With an engine roar, the Mako rushed out of the garage and onto the highway leading to the main colony of XCorp.
…
"Can you tell me your opinion now? Yuan."
As soon as they got on the highway, the geth transport ship dropped a few geth colossi acting as tanks to block the road.
But Shepard still had time to ask Xie Yuan questions while bombarding the geth colossus.
But Xie Yuan didn’t intend to hide it: “The good news is that this kind of control is limited to the Oriental Pearl Tower. It is a parasitic control similar to a honeycomb type, and as the distance increases, the effectiveness of the parasitic control becomes weaker.
Yin En's semi-consciousness and David's visible sluggishness prove that this kind of control is distanced. "
"But the bad news is..." Shepard was not happy when he heard the good news. "The entire colony is under control, right?"
"Goddess, this... this is too scary. Is it true?" Liana didn't believe that the entire colony was under control. "It's just a few people with mental problems? How could they all be parasitized?"
"Liana, I don't want to believe it either, but status can't deceive anyone," Xie Yuan thought for a while and comforted Smurfette, "But we can go to the main base of Philos first to have a look. If this situation is true, There must be records there.”
"Then don't delay any longer." Shepard accelerated the execution of the geth colossus, and Xie Yuan also stepped on the accelerator, trying to fly away from here as quickly as possible.
But coincidentally, before the Mako had driven very far, it located the sound of a radio call. A middle-aged woman sternly demanded not to evacuate until she found her daughter.
Following the radio chatter, Xie Yuan drove the Mako Shark to a vehicle transfer station.
Shepard led everyone to a basement. They were faced with two company security personnel who were pointing their guns at the exit of the basement, which was himself.
However, they will not shoot rashly after receiving strict training. After all, there is no synthetic mechanical life form in Shepard's team, they are typical organic creatures.
The security allowed Shepard's team into the basement, but then a sharp drake voice suddenly told them to stop with a pistol:
"We're close enough, just stand here!"
Shepard was stunned, but she subconsciously pulled her hand down, fearing that Xie Yuan would explode.
She had to worry, because Xie Yuan was now full of irritability - why, a small pistol was here serving as an arrow?
Where did such a blind guy come from? !
