The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 521 Contradictions inspire Krogan's deserved and sad past
"This is wrong, Shepard." In a corner, after the conversation just now, Lex directly issued an ultimatum to Shepard, "If there is a cure for gene phagocytosis, we cannot destroy it."

After Major Chillah ordered a spare nuclear bomb to wipe out the entire research base, Lex lost control a little bit, and then he woke up and left everyone, ran to a corner to meditate, and Shepard is now here to advise.

Shepard also tried his best to comfort Lex: "I know you are very uncomfortable, but we all understand that Saron is the real enemy, and he is the one you should hate."

"Really?" Lex walked towards Shepard with a calm expression, but his tone was even deeper, "Saron created the antidote for my people, and you want to destroy it."

"Help me sort it out, Shepard." Lex looked impatient. "For me, the line between friend and foe is no longer so clear."

"It's not an antidote, it's a weapon." Shepard still persuaded patiently, "If Saron can use it, you won't get any benefit, and no one will benefit from it."

Lex stared blankly at Shepard, and he waved his hands to drive Shepard word by word: "We are willing to gamble on luck, what we are talking about now is the fate of my entire ethnic group."

He looked Shepard in the eyes: "I've been loyal to you so far. Shit, you've done more for me than my family.

But—if I'm going to follow you, I want to make sure that what we're about to do is the right thing to do. "

The next moment, Lex directly pulled out the shotgun behind his back, and Shepard pulled out his assault rifle at the same time, not to be outdone—the two aimed at each other and confronted each other.

The scene got out of control because of the conversation just now...

……

The gene phagocytosis virus is a kind of genetic engineering weapon developed for the rapid reproduction ability of krogan people.

The use of this genetically engineered weapon can be traced back to a war that lasted thousands of years—the Raikeni War.

The Krogan did not acquire the ability to travel between stars independently at the beginning. Earlier, there were only Asari and Salarians in the Citadel.

Because of a wrong activation of the mass repeater, the Rakhni Zerg was released, and soon swept through most of the galaxies under the control of the God's Castle Council.

At this critical moment, the Salarians temporarily discovered the Krogan who were trembling in a state of "nuclear winter" due to self-destruction. Their rapid reproduction ability happened to be a good means to deal with the Zerg.

So, the Salarians armed them, and personally took action to transform their world, and then upgraded it to an interstellar age.

In exchange, the krogan put out their blood to extinguish the Rachnai riots.After the Rakhni War, the Council of the Citadel gave respect to the livable planet for this purpose-a statue of the Krogan has been preserved in the circle of the Citadel to this day.

But there is a good saying: the greed of the human heart is like an endless gully—it cannot be filled.

The krogan obtained a promotion opportunity in vain, and because of their great efforts in a crucial war, coupled with their own physiological characteristics of rapid reproduction, they naturally hope to pursue more habitable planets.

After the war, the fast-breeding krogan continued to expand to neighboring forces: the warlords encouraged soldiers to occupy the living space, but the council remained restrained.

Over hundreds of years, the krogan took over planet after planet.They always say "just one more".When the council finally demanded that they withdraw from the Asari colony of Lucia, the krogan warlord Credecker stormed out, demanding that the council rescind the decision.

Although at the beginning, the "Secret Monitoring Force" formed by the Asari Hunters and the Salari Special Service Team - the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance Department, the "Ghost" destroyed all the logistical capabilities of the Klogan home planet Tuzenka.

But this is just a piece of cake. The Krogan, who are extremely capable of violent soldiers, began to counterattack the Citadel directly through the military power accumulated over hundreds of years.

Without the participation of the Turians, the Citadel would be taken away by a wave of krogan.

But even so, the Turians fought very hard. Because of this, the gene phagocytosis weapon developed by the Salarians was originally used as a deterrent weapon by the Turians. within the sphere of human influence.

The principle of action of this genetically engineered weapon is as follows:
1. Gene phagocytosis virus obtains the energy required for division by engulfing key gene sequences.

2. All cells in each klogan must be modified for this weapon to work, otherwise the klogan can use gene therapy to repair infected tissue.

3. When the gene phage has no more genes to eat, it will starve to death to prevent unnecessary mutation and infection, and this artificial genetic defect is hereditary.

The mutation caused by the gene phagocytic virus reduced the birth rate of the Krogan to one in a thousand. What it reduced was not the pregnancy rate but the survival rate of offspring.

The krogan wilted as soon as the genophage came out.

The failed krogan lost all their extra colonies and were divided among asari, salarians and turians... Tuzenka became the krogan demilitarized zone.

The Turians who successfully won not only obtained the colony of the Krogan in the past, but also joined the parliamentary seat and became the third parliamentary race after the Asari and the Salari.

Winners and losers are the best embodiment of this matter.

The current krogan has long since lost its former glory.Though centuries have passed since the Krogan Rebellion, they often recall the horror of the Genophage and their powerlessness in the face of it.

The collapsed krogan has never recovered since then, and even a rationalist like Rex, who is a man of insight, is completely disappointed in his own race, leaving and drifting among the galaxies.

To this day, the release of gene phagocytosis is still a controversial topic, which has been repeatedly debated on many occasions.

But is debate useful?

It is unlikely that the Genophage will ever be disarmed until a new major galaxy-wide crisis is encountered.

So Saren, as the legendary ghost of the Turians, actually restarted the antidote research of gene phagocytosis, how contrary to the ancestors; and it is not surprising that Lex, who was about to die, reacted fiercely after encountering this kind of thing.

……

Before this confrontation happened, Xie Yuan walked away directly. Lex's state was not right. If they really couldn't reach an agreement, they probably had to have a fight.

Theoretically, Xie Yuan is inclined to destroy it—because at this moment, Xie Yuan's "close comrades" are collecting these materials in Wormel, the destruction on the surface is better.

In addition, approaching with your own force will accelerate the conflict, so let Shepard decide... Although in the face of a potential buyer, Xie Yuan does not want Lex to die, but Shepard is his direct leader , The military order is like a mountain, and I can't object to her opinion.

Now Pan Asia's keynote is that all external conflicts are consistent with the outside world, and the internal conflicts of the two companies are resolved through consultation.

So Lex's final outcome depends on Shepard's words.
