On the other side, Liana's adventure continues to move forward amidst the boredom of falling short.
Liana and Feren soon arrived near the trading location - it used to be an open-pit mine, but it was abandoned after the zero-element ore veins of the Omega asteroid dried up.
But today, the boring environment and neglected mines have become the most popular place for underground traders.
The uninhabited space allows them to store more illegal goods, and the space separated by a wall is more suitable for the entry and exit of spacecraft than the dock.
Liana and Feren were hiding in the abandoned passage, looking at the Qingyang mercenaries who were busy and vigilant in the mine below. Thanks to their vigilance, they couldn't find the two people hiding on the top floor.
Soon, a light and small spaceship drove into the mine, and stepped out of a Salarian man with green skin who was wearing black armor and was burlier than his peers.
As soon as he got off the boat, he began to curse and complain about the procrastination and frequent accidents of the Qingyang mercenaries. The Krogan leader of the Qingyang mercenaries could only nod and bow like a pug.
Feren told Liana that this was Tazik, the strongest mercenary under the Shadow Broker - his appearance proved that the Shadow Broker really wanted Shepard's body.
When the two people at the top saw Tazik walking towards a stasis cabin, Liana soon realized that Shepard was close at hand.
Excited, she immediately wanted to show up and snatch it - the krogan blood made him very excited for a time, but Faerun stopped her.
Because if they were just Qingyang mercenaries, they could still take advantage of the terrain to defeat Taozhi Yaoyao, but what about adding the Shadow Broker’s professional killer Tazik?
It’s very possible that you don’t even know how to die!
Of course, stopping Liana who was about to go berserk was only the first step. Ferran, who was full of crooked ideas, quickly came up with a solution that looked very good.
For some reason, the Qingyang mercenaries have set up a heavy weapon here just in case, which can be used to fight against others or to fight against others - an old-fashioned close-defense mass accelerating cannon.
But there is no operator or guard group - but this thing can be controlled remotely and does not necessarily require an operator, but it is very strange that there is no guard group.
So Feren's plan was to operate the turret himself to destroy Tazik's ship and cause chaos; Liana would take advantage of the chaos to recapture the stasis capsule where Shepard's body was placed.
Although Liana was very suspicious of Faeron's behavior in preventing her from retrieving Shepard's body, considering that it was a good plan - the most important thing was that there was no other good plan, she agreed to implement it.
Then the ending made her very regretful and disappointed.
Fearon may have a good mind, or he may have extraordinary skills - but at the moment of firing, he "missed" for no reason!
After controlling the close-in defense gun, the first shot did not hit the spacecraft, but the cargo behind the spacecraft!
"Peng!" The air wave generated by the huge explosion even knocked Liana to the ground, and Smurfette was exposed.
Moreover, the Qingyang mercenaries were just lazy, but they were not unprofessional. After discovering that they had suffered an unknown attack, they were able to quickly find the firepower point and quickly launched a counterattack.
"Get that big cannon!"
And Tazik also quickly directed the remaining people: "Quick! Move the body into my spaceship quickly, quick!"
"Peng!" There was a loud noise, and the close-in defense cannon was detonated by the concentrated fire attack. The Drells were directly blown away by the shock wave and fell to the first floor.
Tazik speeded up the delivery, but Liana saw that she was exposed and simply stopped pretending, shouting: "Don't move, the goods are mine!"
She knocked down several unprepared mercenaries with just one use of her superpower, and quickly rushed over.
Looking at Liana's brave performance, Tazik felt cruel and directly picked up the grenade launcher on his back and fired several grenades in the direction where the Qingyang mercenary and Liana were entangled——
"Tong Tong Tong Tong!"
"Pengpengpengpeng!"
The explosion of four grenades in a row caused a huge fire, covering Liana and several Qingyang mercenaries.
The situation was so urgent that Tazik didn't even have time to check the results of the battle, so he just got into the spacecraft, set up the spacecraft and took off.
Fortunately, Liana was not seriously injured in the end - at this critical moment, Feren swooped over and knocked Smurfette down, avoiding the four consecutive grenade explosions, and both of them were fine. Big deal.
But the greater misfortune was that when she woke up from her trance, she could only watch as Tazik's ship opened the valve and completed the evacuation.
Just a moment slower in her reaction, just one step away, Shepard was lost from her hands again.
…
Not to mention how Liana escaped from the mess in the mine, and how she managed to ruin Faerun's career.
Shortly after Tarzik's small spacecraft left Omega, in the stasis chamber being transported, if there were a thermal detector scanning at this moment, it would be found that the brain of the scorched corpse in the stasis chamber suddenly produced a trace of energy. heat.
In fact, this carefully crafted charred corpse was a special version carefully modified by Xie Yuan after he brought the original stasis capsule to the world of Metal Gear Solid and spent a month comparing it to Shepard's body shape.
Of course, in the case of a charred corpse, basically the whole body cannot move - because the muscles and nerve fibers have been burned to a crisp by the high temperature and have lost their activity.
But there is exactly one thing where no problem can be found without a thorough craniotomy and autopsy - the human brain.
Therefore, Xie Yuan, who has many years of experience in biological modification and is skilled in craftsmanship, directly made some small modifications to the skull of the scorched corpse, installed a brain that can accommodate consciousness and is still active, and attached a micro life-sustaining device to allow The brain is briefly active.
Of course, installing a brain is not enough, because without external sensory functions, staying in the mind in endless darkness is just torture.
Therefore, through biological nerve connection, Xie Yuan installed small augurs on the back of both ears of the scorched corpse to sense the life signals appearing near the stasis chamber.
And now that the stasis capsule has been taken aboard Tazik's private spaceship, Xie Yuan's consciousness only needs to wait quietly in this brain - waiting for the stasis capsule to be placed so that it is surrounded by a large number of life signals. time, you can wait for the opportunity to move.
Moreover, in this endless darkness, it is also the best experience to sharpen the soul. Xie Yuan tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart and did his best to maintain the clarity of his consciousness.
Tazik's spaceship just flew into space, flying to an unknown end point.
But I don’t know if Tazik has noticed now... There is a small tail behind him - where is a small cargo ship?
…
An Auspex is also known as a Surveyor, a Multi-Scanner or simply a Ser.
It is a short-range, active/passive sensor device featured in 30K Universe - capable of detecting and analyzing a wide range of data, including motion, invisible gases, or directional or ambient energy emissions across the broad-band electromagnetic spectrum.
This includes heat, radiation, plasma and most other forms of electromagnetic energy emitted by people or vehicles, as well as the molecular makeup of various substances found in a given environment.
However, when Xie Yuan took over this technology, he discovered a very funny thing.
Theoretically, the radiation distance of this handheld device should be up to 5 kilometers - the communication distance of a walkie-talkie can reach 5 kilometers. There is no reason that an auspicious device that is much more advanced than a walkie-talkie cannot have a distance of 5 kilometers, right? !
But in fact, not only is there not 5 kilometers, there is not even 500 meters - only 50 meters!
Ordinary people, even if they are short-sighted and cannot see clearly, can see the signs of 50 meters - unless it is a street fight, maybe 50 meters is enough, but in other battlefields, 50 meters is really not enough.
Love reading books
But after Xie Yuan took the handheld auger apart and checked the circuit, he realized the real reason for the short detection range.
It's still the fault of insufficient power - but it's not entirely due to the battery supply.
Because, the prototype of the Augur was originally a long-range passive and active sensor for ships, called an Augur.
In terms of layout, ships and vehicles have enough energy to output powerful power and achieve long-term detection distances.
But the problem is that once the entire system is made smaller, the energy distribution is a bit wrong - because the peak allocation function cannot be allocated, although different detection modes are adjusted, each mode actually consumes energy accordingly. .
The power is not enough, and therefore the detection distance becomes very short due to insufficient output - but the battery is only so big, and the power output is only so much, so it becomes an infinite loop.
In fact, such a complex detection system should be equipped with an intelligent system to regulate the energy supply and use on demand - but there is still that problem: Scarlet Protocol.
After Xie Yuan returned to the non-30K world, he integrated the same technology and added an intelligent computing system for coordination - he could directly reach a panoramic view of 5 kilometers.
On the contrary, the detection distance between the two ears of the scorched corpse is indeed only 50 meters - because in order to be concealed, the batteries have to be placed very small.
