The Collection of The End

——AD.2160.4.20——

Citadel.

The ring area of ​​the Citadel itself is divided into two parts. They are the "Citadel Tower" which houses many administrative agencies and is shaped like the "stamen" of the "flower" of the Citadel, and the Citadel Tower below which houses the C — SEC headquarters, commuter transportation station and some shops in the "outer ring area."

For this kind of core place, for the sake of safety, the Council Director Civilization naturally conducted many investigations. They clearly knew that the "Citadel Tower" was hollow, and the underground structure of the "Outer Ring Area" was far more complicated than the applicable parts. Based on this, it is deduced that those places may be the real center of the castle, and the mysterious "caregiver" may very well come from there, but he has never been able to enter.

At this moment, below the outer ring area, in this mysterious space, a blazing blue ball lightning was suspended. It continuously sputtered and jumped outwards, sending out streaks of bright blue lightning, which looked quite dangerous.

If it were normal times, this abnormal energy fluctuation must have attracted the attention of the Citadel Council Security Department. However, since the Council itself had fled on the Destiny Extraordinary Ship, and CSEC police officers were also dispersed to the five guard districts to maintain order, plus The geth warships and reapers suddenly launched an attack, and no one had time to pay attention to such a trivial matter.

Buzz-buzz-boom!

The ball lightning expanded and contracted regularly for a moment, then exploded with a bang. The dazzling light completely dispersed the darkness for a few seconds, and then, a Graytip Shark infantry vehicle appeared at its original location.

The car door opened, and the heavily armed Kangna was the first to jump out of the car, holding the Defender rifle and looking around.

This is a place... that looks like a sewer or an abandoned machine manufacturing workshop. As far as the eye can see, apart from blue-grey metal walls and strange mechanical parts everywhere, there is only one...

"Care workers?"

Saren was the second to step out of the infantry vehicle, and his fighting instinct made him the first to notice the only living creature within his field of vision.

It was a green creature with slender limbs, a head like a surveillance camera, and a stocky body. It was the caregiver who could be seen everywhere in the castle.

At this time, it was rummaging through a large number of mechanical parts of unknown use piled in front of it, completely ignoring the infantry vehicle that suddenly "jumped" and Kangna and Saren who were pointing guns at it.

"It saw us, do you want to silence it?" Saren moved the muzzle of his gun, always aiming at the caregiver's little head.

"That means nothing except letting the bullet bounce back and hit yourself." Kangna pressed the muzzle of his gun: "If it can share data instantly, the news will have spread when we arrive. If it is an encounter By uploading data only after you are in danger or destroyed, you are actively spreading the word."

"Hmph, I'm not interested in shooting fixed targets, but where should we go now?" Saren shook his head left and right.

The current terrain seems to be a section of some kind of ring structure. The gray tip shark can move forward in both directions to the left and right of where it jumps, and there is almost no difference in appearance.

"" Jarvik and Benacia jumped off the infantry vehicle with the fortress: ""

Wuli~val~

Bastion turned his head, looked around, and pointed in one direction.

"Fortress is right." Benacia nodded repeatedly.

————

The inside of the ring area was wider than expected, and because of its complicated shape, infantry vehicles could not move forward. Kangna and others could only walk on foot.

During this period, I saw many caregivers who were minding their own business, but they all turned a blind eye to this team.

At the same time, the shock of the artillery attack on the castle itself was heard continuously from the ground.

In addition, the communication channel that Kangna had deliberately tuned was still able to receive various signals.

"Ha..." Saren sneered: "They did escape. These politicians think they are the most important people in the galaxy as always. In fact, the geth are attacking them because the Destiny Extraordinary Ship is too powerful to threaten them. For those who are setting fire, if they stay in the Citadel honestly, nothing will happen."

"The current situation is that the geth and the Citadel defense fleet have been divided into two parts." Kangna looked at the information from Riven, who was fishing in troubled waters: "There are a larger number of ordinary geth warships outside the Citadel, and the internal ones are The geth are less numerous, but there is a Reaper warship.”

"Even if we tell them that the Reaper warship is not the enemy and we can just deal with the geth with all our strength, the defense forces won't believe it, right?" Benacia raised her head slightly: "To activate the repeater function of the Citadel, she has to land in It has to be synchronized on the giant tower of the Citadel, so it’s still an act of the dragon occupying the castle.”

"That--"

""At this time, the communication from the Dunkirk was connected:""

"Not very good," Kangna said while continuing to trot forward: "The Citadel has been closed. The defense forces remaining inside should be able to easily eliminate the geth inside. However, the Citadel Council failed to escape on the Destiny Extraordinary. Being chased by a large number of geth warships.”

""Anderson obviously didn't like the council's behavior of escaping, but he didn't have time to scold them at this time: ""

"What..." Before Kangna spoke, Anderson had already sent over a copy of the combat effectiveness information of the Star Alliance Fifth Fleet.

Judging from the data, the entire Fifth Fleet, plus the battle group of the Destiny Extraordinary, which is being chased, can still compete with the geth outside. If it enters the battlefield at this time, the newly formed Fifth Fleet will inevitably suffer losses. heavy.

And if he waits until he reaches the control center inside the Citadel, sends Riven back, reenacts the drama of the Reaper being destroyed, opens the "petals" of the Citadel, and combines the inside and the outside, the Geth battleship group will be no match at all, but The "Destiny Chaoren", which is being set on fire, may not be able to survive until that time.

This time, there is no neutral option.
