There was no time to say anything, so he knocked Duncan down with his kick. Li Huamei coolly saluted the captain of the gendarmerie with a military salute. [Read full text] She took out a chip and handed it to the second lieutenant. "This guy is a scumbag... The key evidence is here. You will understand after reading it!"

At this time, people around him shouted in surprise. What Li Huamei had been waiting for arrived. A dilapidated pirate-style frigate flew over the colony, then slowly landed in front of Li Huamei and the others from above their heads, and opened the boarding port in the belly of the ship with a clang. Although this frigate is less than 100 meters tall, it is definitely a small player among starships.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter how small it is, it is still as big as a football field - watching a football field fall from the sky must be very stressful!

The residents of the colony had no problem watching the cruiser battle from a distance. After all, it had nothing to do with them. But a battleship landing overhead? This is something that has never happened before. If it hadn't been for the large Star Alliance logo painted on it, I'm afraid it would have caused a massive panic by now.

"This is a formal inquiry, you can't just leave like this..." the captain of the gendarmerie shouted loudly against the air currents stirred up by the frigate as it floated.

"Hundreds of civilians are still being kidnapped. I'm in a hurry!" Li Huamei replied standing on the sloping passage board. When the maintenance mecha "bang, bang" walked into the belly of the ship along the passage board, the alloy plate rose in front of everyone, blocking everyone's sight.

The frigate roared, puffed air into the sky, then turned around and roared away.



The gendarmerie captain looked at the chip in his hand with some amusement, turned his palm over and put it away. Although Li Huamei didn't say it explicitly, people in their profession were very sensitive to certain dark things - he had almost guessed what was recorded in the chip. The military police captain looked at Duncan, who was still curled up on the ground and groaning, with disgust. Then he said pleasantly, "Lieutenant Duncan, I promise to record the attack just now - but everyone is gone. Is it time for you to get up?"

"Damn...why not arrest her!...It's really broken...I need an ambulance!" Duncan's lips were trembling and he covered his crotch with his hands. He said with a blue face. He had said this many times just now, but no one around him paid any attention to him. Duncan also called the emergency number, but now the colonial hospital was full of wounded people. His request to send an ambulance was rejected outright, and he was directly suggested to sarcastically "knead it" himself...

"Coward..." The military police captain ignored Duncan who was lying on the ground, shook his head at his subordinates, said these two words silently, and made a helpless expression - but he couldn't ignore it. Who let Duncan have a father who is a fleet commander?

On the personal armor, the crotch part is the most protected part. There are six baffles there that form a bracket at any time - so everyone walks with a bit of a splayed leg - that is to say, even if you shoot with an assault rifle, you still need to Only half-magazine bullets are effective. Just kick it and break it? Are you despising the armor issued to us Starfleet officers?

If Master Lu were here, he would definitely say something silently, Wudang Kung Fu is famous in other worlds...

The Mass Effect Repeater is said to be an engineering marvel built by the extinct Protheans 50,000 years ago (it was actually built by the Reapers even earlier), and its level of advanced technology completely surpasses the technological level of all races in the galaxy today. Mass Effect The repeater can construct a massless space channel, which can carry out instantaneous transmission over a distance that requires hundreds of thousands of years for conventional super-light flight. All civilizations are studying it, but so far, no race can copy this device, or even function. The principle is unclear.

…This huge building is comparable in size to a small satellite. Scattered throughout the galaxy. It consists of a completely exposed Mass Effect core (constrained by several huge metal rings, a quantum communicator that can communicate across distant spaces, and a pin-type acceleration orbit - once the ship enters the range of the Mass Effect repeater , will be teleported to another galaxy instantly.

Large mass effect relays can transmit spacecraft thousands of light years in an instant, but they always appear in pairs and can only transmit to each other between the two. This is called a "main stage mass effect relay" device".

There is also a smaller one, such as the "Charon" relay in the solar system, which can only transmit ships a few hundred light-years away. This type is called a "secondary mass effect relay." But this repeater is more flexible. It is multi-directional and can conduct between any repeaters within range.

Mass Effect Repeaters not only make it easier for civilized races to set foot in the galaxy. It also completely distorted the development direction of civilized races, allowing every reincarnated civilization to embark on the same trajectory of progress...

Skirian cluster repeater. It is a secondary relay orbiting a giant gaseous planet. Before being launched, it was also considered an obscure satellite. The "Wanderer" repeater is about four astronomical units from the Elysium planet, which is about 600 million kilometers away!

Viewed from this distance, even the Elysium planet turned into an emerald green ping pong ball, let alone the battle that took place in the synchronous orbit.

Therefore, the "Agility" cargo ship, which quietly left the "Elysium" planet from the other side of the planet and remained in a submersible state, never thought that it would be blocked by Li Huamei in front of the "Wanderer" repeater again!

The Athabasca-class MSV cargo ship and the frigate repainted with the Star Alliance logo were parked on the side of the "Wanderer" repeater one after another. The core of the repeater, which is dozens of kilometers in size, is running. Several huge metal rings rotate back and forth, using electromagnetic fields to constrain the core that emits blue light. When it is close, the brightness is comparable to that of a blue giant star. Generally dazzling.

The repeater rotated on its own, occasionally emitting a blue light that was dozens of kilometers long, shining from head to toe on the pin track. The two boats floating at its feet were not even two specks of dust.

"You have been locked up! Please hand over all colonial residents immediately, and we can ensure your safe departure... I repeat... You have been locked up..."

Ashley faced the console, constantly switching channels, and shouted over and over again to the cargo ship on the opposite side. Li Huamei stood in front of the porthole like a sculpture, quietly looking at the cargo ship ahead. Even though their ship was piloted by only eleven people. But in terms of smooth operation, it is not comparable to those pirates. Relying on the connection between Li Huamei and Jenny, the frigate has indeed locked onto the cargo ship ahead. Facing that thin shield, all it takes is Li Huamei's order to destroy it! What's more, kinetic energy barriers can only be used to defend against live weapons. There is nothing that can be done against close-range laser cannons.

But in order to rescue the hundreds of colonial residents above, Li Huamei had to choose to negotiate for the time being...

"There's communication coming in..." Ashley said happily, and directly answered the other party's call request.

"I'm Orchie! Your proposed deal has been accepted..." After the old Krogan's voice came in, he said without delay. "We will put the people in the rescue capsule and eject them into the synchronous orbit of Hyrule, and you will recover them yourself... That's it, don't cause any more trouble!"

"I need to check the list!" Li Huamei interrupted him.

"There's no list! Do you want me or not?" The old Krogan was also very tough. "You can choose..." After saying that, he hung up the communication directly.

…"What should I do?" Ashley Williams looked at Li Huamei.

Just as they were talking. The cargo ship in front had raised its side armor plate, revealing the emergency rescue cabins embedded in the side of the spacecraft, and then rows of them were ejected! This kind of cargo ship is equipped with a large emergency cabin that can accommodate at least a thousand people. After the ejection is completed, eight huge containers fly towards the orbit of the gas giant. I don’t know if it was an operational error, but one of the containers was slightly off. If not corrected, the bin will not stay in synchronous orbit around the planet. Instead, it fell directly into the atmosphere and burned to ashes!

"Scan the rescue cabin immediately!" Li Huamei's order was conveyed to the detection center, where almost all the remaining eight people were busy.

"The interference from the planet is too great...cannot scan accurately...Sir. That warehouse is about to cross the orbital limit!" A noisy voice came from the communicator, but Li Huamei's eyes suddenly widened as she looked out the window. Almost at the same time, the "Wanderer" repeater also started operating!

"They're activating the repeaters!" Ashley yelled. From the core of the "Wanderer" repeater, a huge blue light whip flew out, wrapping around the "Agility" MSV cargo ship like an arc. The transfer will begin soon...

On one side is a warehouse that is about to crash, containing hundreds of colonial residents; on the other side is a pirate cargo ship that has activated the repeater and is about to disappear...

"Shoot!" Li Huamei's lips spoke an incredible command...

"What?" Just when Ashley's brain crashed, Li Huamei directly took a photo of the red shooting button on the bridge! An orange-red laser beam shot out from the belly of the frigate, passed through the cargo ship's shield without any obstruction, and then penetrated the cargo ship's ion thruster!

The whole process took less than a second! ...when Ashley was still debating whether to save people or catch pirates. Just when the "Agile" was setting the transmission parameters and preparing to escape - Li Huamei had already made the final decision for them. One of the cargo ship's ion engines was directly penetrated!

"The warehouse has crossed the track... We still have four minutes and thirty-three seconds to save them... Sir?!" a voice yelled from the communicator.

"Why... why?" Ashley asked in disbelief.

"Let the warehouse crash directly," Li Huamei said. "It must be empty... Now send a red warning to the other party! Lock the second engine at the same time!"

Li Huamei's approach is almost crazy! The ion thruster contains a huge amount of electrical energy when it is activated... Even if the probability is only one-quarter, it is still likely to explode if it is destroyed! At that time... hundreds of civilian casualties were all blamed on Li Huamei! The probability of one in four is not low at all! Now that the opponent's spaceship has not exploded, it can be said to be extremely lucky.

But now she actually wants to do it again...Ashley felt like she was going crazy! Her sense of military honor would never allow her to fire on a cargo ship full of civilians!

"Sir, you are right!" At this time, a cheering voice came from the communicator, "The scan has confirmed that several warehouse cabinets are empty and there are no living creatures inside..."

"But, how can we gamble with the lives of civilians on that half probability!?" Ashley stood up at a loss.

Li Huamei ignored her. She operated the computer by herself and directly set the target for the second shooting. "No matter how many times you shoot, the probability is still one-quarter..." Li Huamei said comforting words that were not comforting. Her hand reached for the button of the close-range laser cannon again... The blue light had already enveloped most of the cargo ship, and if she didn't stop it, there would be no chance...

"Wait!" Ashley suddenly grabbed her hand, and before Li Huamei frowned, she said quickly, "Look at the detection..."

There is no need to say anything anymore... The cargo ship ahead, its destroyed engine suddenly leaked a large amount of electricity! The electric current was conducted along the hull of the cargo ship, and then a discharge occurred with the gaseous planet! Under the influence of the huge dense charge, great distortion of the effect field began to appear around the "Agility" cargo ship! The open light blue negative energy field is even visible to the naked eye. Even the dreadnought does not have such a large effect field!

The blue light of the "Wanderer" repeater was strongly entangled with the negative energy effect field of the spacecraft, and then in a burst of dazzling blue light, the spacecraft instantly disappeared without a trace! r655
