When Founder and the Reapers launched the first wave of battle, Shepard also returned to the Earth Star Alliance headquarters on the Normandy.

"Anderson?"

After getting off the spacecraft, Shepard saw Anderson standing in front of her, which surprised her.

"Why are you here? Where is the Citadel?"

"I will come back immediately after receiving your report..."

At this moment, Anderson also looked serious. He made a gesture to ask Shepard to act with him, and said at the same time.

"Our outer defense line discovered a huge unknown object. In fact, just now, we have lost contact with the outside of the solar system..."

"So what do we do now?"

"The Star Alliance needs to hear your report..."

"Report?"

Hearing this, Shepard stopped immediately.

"We don't have time now, Anderson! The Reapers are about to arrive. We should immediately activate the defenses of the solar system, and at the same time evacuate civilians as much as possible, place them in safe places, and then find ways to fight against the Reaper attacks instead of doing

What report! Every minute we waste now is equivalent to committing a crime!"

"I know this too, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Anderson sighed helplessly.

"You are the only one who has ever faced the Reaper. You have communicated with it face to face, talked to it, and blown it up. Only you know how to face the Reaper. The Star Alliance just hopes to get enough

Information and intelligence, they were just... freaked out."

"………All right………"

Hearing Anderson's answer, Shepard sighed helplessly. This was not the first time she had encountered Star Alliance bureaucracy. Even if the situation had reached such an emergency, they still needed to report, report, report...

...Thinking of this, Shepard also quickly quickened his pace, and then came to the conference room of the Star Alliance high-level officials.

"Commander Shepard."

Seeing Shepard walking in, one of the senior executives immediately spoke.

"These are extraordinary times, and we won't say much. We got your warning about the Reapers, and we want to know more information."

"We don't have time now."

Shepard shook his head.

"The Reapers will not pity us, let alone be afraid of us. They will only destroy us all. What we are doing now is to mobilize all forces to fight against the Reapers. They will not negotiate with us, let alone give us a chance.

, I once said that the purpose of the Reapers is to harvest all life in the galaxy!"

"…………"

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the entire conference hall, and another senior Star Alliance member frowned and slammed the table hard.

"Please don't be alarmist, Commander Shepard. Your previous report did not have enough evidence to prove your argument... We just want to know how to stop them now."

"Stop them?"

Shepard snorted softly.

"This is not a question of strategy or tactics. They are more advanced, more powerful, and smarter than us. The only thing we can do is to survive as much as possible."

"But...there must be something we can do..."

"Report!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Lost contact with the moon base!?"

"What? The moon?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Anderson even showed an expression of disbelief.

"How could they be so close to us..."

"————!"

However, before Anderson had finished speaking, suddenly, a low and strange sound came from the window. Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked out the window. Then, their eyes widened in surprise.

"OMG………"

Among the clouds outside the window, metal monsters thousands of meters high emerged from the clouds. They slowly opened their bodies, and then dark red beams of light shot out from them, hitting the ground and flying towards everyone.

Come!

"Get out of the way!"

"boom!!"

Before Shepard could finish his words, an explosion sounded, and the entire Star Alliance headquarters suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire. When Shepard got up again, he saw corpses everywhere, and only she and Anderson escaped.

After a calamity......

"Let's get back to the Normandy immediately!"

Pulling Anderson up from the ground, Shepard couldn't care about anything else at this moment. The reapers came as quickly as he imagined, and these bureaucrats would just sit here and ask for reports... They obviously didn't

If something is wrong, can't we issue an evacuation alert or something?

A bunch of losers!

Cursing the stupidity of the Star Alliance deep in his heart, Shepard and Anderson quickly left the conference hall. At this moment, the entire Star Alliance headquarters was in a sea of ​​fire. Moreover, the Reapers also sent out their drones and

The corpse puppets are sweeping the ground, and the entire headquarters can be said to be in chaos.

Although Shepard had already issued a warning, the Star Alliance forces on Earth were completely unprepared to face such an enemy, and were caught off guard. However, Shepard had no time to care about them, she

He rushed into the hangar with Anderson, and then quickly boarded the Normandy.

"Quick, let's leave immediately!"

Following Shepard's order, the Normandy immediately took off and flew towards outer space. At this moment, a Reaper also noticed the Normandy, and saw that the huge metal body suddenly turned and blocked the space.

The route of the Normandy.

"Clown, get out of the way!"

"I'm trying now!"

While driving the battleship, the clown also shouted, but it was too late. At this time, everyone saw a red beam of light bursting out from the inside of the reaper.

"boom!"

Although the Joker barely managed to control the Normandy to avoid the Reaper's first attack, he was unable to avoid the second attack. The Reaper's beam swayed to the side, and immediately opened a hole in the side of the Normandy.

With explosions and flames, the Normandy immediately deviated from its course, staggering towards the ground and falling...

Huh? Why is this scene so familiar?

Before Shepard could change her mind, she fell into a coma with a violent crash.

…………I don’t know how long it took before Shepard slowly woke up.

"Cough, cough cough..."

She raised her head and looked around, only to see that the crew members on her side had fallen in pieces. Fortunately, because the Normandy did not fly high, she did not suffer much damage when she fell. Therefore, except for a few

Except for the unlucky ones who had their necks broken, most of them were just unconscious.

As Shepard woke up, many people slowly opened their eyes.

"Hurry up, all members gather immediately and head to the nearby shelter!"

Shepard picked up the weapon and quickly issued an order. The Normandy was completely finished. It had been undergoing emergency repairs before, but it turned out that it was just recovering from a serious illness and was attacked by the Reaper. It had completely lost power and was completely scrapped.

Although he felt sorry for the battleship that had been following him for such a long time, Shepard immediately issued the order.

After hearing Shepard's order, the crew of the Normandy immediately took action. At the same time, Shepard also hurriedly returned to the captain's room, preparing to change into his armor and weapons... Huh?

Just when Shepard put on her armor, picked up her weapon and was about to leave, she suddenly saw an iron box placed not far away. This seemed to be a gift given to her by Fang Zheng before?

I remember what he seemed to say at that time was...if you need help, open this Pandora's box, but you can't regret it?

What exactly is in here?

Thinking of this, Shepard hesitated for a moment, then picked up the box and opened it carefully.

Then, she saw a huge, strange, centipede-like larva sticking its head out from inside, staring at her curiously.

"Chi chi chi?"

"…………"

Looking at the larvae in front of him, Shepard was stunned.
Chapter completed!
