The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 691 Hunting the Shadow Broker (3)

"Hargrass..." Ada looked fascinated at the yellow sand-filled outer atmosphere on the holographic screen, and suddenly murmured, "It seems that the saying that the hero sees the same thing is true."

Xie Yuan arrived on the planet Hargrass in a Geth armed transport ship, which is the shadow broker's suspected lair.

In view of the huge size of the armed transport ship is still huge, so in order to reduce unnecessary movement.Xie Yuan, Ada, and a huge Geth elite were driven by the virtual consciousness of UR-025, driving a transport plane, and quietly sneaked towards the surface of the planet.

In other words, they have descended from outer space to a height less than [-] meters above the sea level of Hargrass.

At this time, below is the sea with huge waves, and the sea is a cloud line extending to the end of the sky. The clouds are arranged in a straight line and roll forward as if being pushed by an invisible wall. The entire sky is divided by this line. There are two distinct halves, one half is clear and the other half is turbulent, and the setting sun dyes the clouds, sky, and sea into boundless blood red...

This is the scene of the setting sun on Hargrass, and the possibility that the Shadow Broker's lair may have been hidden somewhere on this planet for 200 years, commanding intelligence forces covering the Milky Way, stirring up the political situation for 200 years .

At this time, Xie Yuan looked at Ada who was sighing, a little curious: "Have you heard of this planet?"

"I heard a little... because this planet is almost worthless, and the environment is dangerous, you see,"

As she spoke, Ada took out a multi-purpose tool and showed it to Xie Yuan: "It has almost no bare surface, and the entire planet is occupied by oceans—and because of its fast rotation and subtle distance from the stars, the sun shines on it during the day. The entire ocean will be boiled at night, and will freeze into an ice hell when night falls.

Therefore, there is no life form and it is impossible to evolve here, and it is an almost deserted planet. "

"But the poor mountains and bad waters also just show that there are few people here." Xie Yuan looked at it and directly revealed Ada's inner thoughts, "It is very suitable for avoiding people's mainstream eyes, and it is convenient for doing some private things."

"The best way to hide yourself is to hide in the government, and the second is to hide in the city - but as an intelligence agency, if it is not official or authorized by the local official, it cannot do these two things."

Ada looked at the scenery outside the window and expressed her understanding: "So they can only do one thing, Xiaoyin hides in the wild - that's why I said that the hero sees the same thing, I can be sure what is in Tazik's mind at a glance. The memory coordinates are correct... because if I were the Shadow Broker, I would also consider choosing this place."

Xie Yuan also admitted that this place is indeed a good place: "Well, but our probes found some hidden probes in the low-earth orbit of the planet Hagrass, but we actually found nothing! He can hide where?"

"In fact, he may exist in a place that we can guess, but we can't turn it around if we don't think about it."

Ada pondered for a while, then pointed to the star above Haglass' head and guessed.

"It's dark under the lights?" Xie Yuan's face suddenly became very strange, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that the planet Alingon actually has this kind of environment—it seems to be the exclusive technology of Shadow Broker..."

"It means that He has also experienced this kind of situation, so he will study it so carefully... Wait,"

Ada once again manipulated the multi-purpose tool, composited a series of calculation patterns on the projection screen, it was a series of light spots, and then formed a trajectory that moved synchronously with the rotation of the planet, exclaimed: "Maybe, this is why The only reason why He can be confident that he cannot be discovered is also the reason why He has the exclusive technology for communicating with the outside world in an environment of electromagnetic interference-his hiding place has been drifting before sunset, in the most powerful storm group on the entire planet. "

"In that case, the Shadow Broker's base is either an aerospace carrier or a cruiser-class spaceship?"

Xie Yuan made a reasoning. After all, there is basically nothing in the orbit of outer space, so there are basically no other possibilities except spaceships and aerospace aircraft carriers.

"What is an aerospace carrier?" Ada asked with great interest, and the Geth elite controlled by UR-025 also looked at Xie Yuan with his flashlight.

"An aerospace carrier is a super airship with heavy armor that can fly above the stratosphere for a long time."

Xie Yuan explained: "Using a modern aircraft carrier as the mother body, four large anti-gravity engines are erected around it, powered by nuclear fusion - loaded with aircraft, air-to-ground and air-to-air heavy fire weapons, large military bases are An all-in-one, mobile super fortress and base of operations with light stealth capabilities."

"It seems that this design is very old-fashioned...Since an anti-gravity engine can be designed and a stable shipboard core reactor can be designed, why not try to create a planetary-class spacecraft that can fly into space?" UR-025 proposed no solution look.

But Ada asked immediately after listening for a while: "Which country made this design?"

Sure enough, only human beings understand the underlying psychology of human beings: "It was created in the Bald Eagle Kingdom in another universe."

"No wonder... this is indeed a superfluous design that they came up with—"

Ada rolled her eyes at Xie Yuan: "But obviously, the Shadow Broker is not a foolish bureaucrat in the Bald Eagle Kingdom. This is definitely a spaceship, but he is traveling in the atmosphere."

"Why do you say that the aerospace carrier must be a superfluous design created by foolish bureaucrats?" UR-025 looked at Ada again.

"This is the usual method used by the bureaucrats of the Bald Eagle Kingdom to take kickbacks—the entire ship seems to be specious. It looks cool in technology, but in fact it functions as a very rigid weapon to extract a huge amount of research and development funds and production funds, and then Wash off a large portion for your own use."

Speaking of this, Ada showed a mocking look: "According to common sense, the key integration of several technologies can already produce space vehicles.

But for personal benefit, in order to win the trust of the old antiques of the GF Department, they used several advanced technologies to create a powerful airship with strong lethality, strong defense, and stealth.

The airship is a concept that the budget-minded congressmen can understand. Although it is a very old concept, with the addition of air carriers, ultra-long-range air-to-ground strikes and stealth, these large-traffic IPs in the military world, Still willing to pay a lot of money-so after collecting a lot of kickbacks, a backward weapon upgraded with advanced technology was born. "

"Well... It's a pity that the Shadow Broker is not these fools—but if he was such a fool, he would have died in the long river of history."

UR-025 sighed, and then notified the current status, while using his own consciousness to turn on the protection and detection functions of the transport plane: "It has entered the storm cloud group, and the anti-EMP shield is turned on—most of the radars The scanning method is hindered—the sonar scanning is now activated, filtering out natural noises, searching..."

"Well! Now it's like a hunter is hunting a beast. Let's see who will discover the existence of the other party first." Xie Yuan looked at the holographic image taken outside the cabin. Although it is unlikely, he still tried to find the shadow manager with his naked eyes. traces of the ship.

Ada was standing beside him, also watching, but she didn't use her eyes to see. She was not a person like Xie Yuan, who could see far away with her eyes.

She was just amazed: "The Shadow Broker really taught me a good lesson this time—his professionalism in intelligence searching and his definition of safe places have benefited me a lot.

Such a ship flies in the strongest storm cluster, the huge cloud cluster will cover the shape of the spacecraft and the heat source reaction, and the ionization effect of lightning will make all electromagnetic wave radar detection methods invalid... What a good way!The spacecraft doesn't even need to go elsewhere to replenish energy and water... because these two things are inexhaustible in the storm cloud..."

"How else can I say why the Shadow Broker is the most successful and largest intelligence intermediary organization in the entire galaxy?"

Xie Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Ada with a smile on his face: "Seriously, if he hadn't sold the information to the collectors, which made me almost die once - I wouldn't have made such a big determination to kill him.

And letting him die at my hands is the greatest kindness I can give him. "

"Do you think he will be prepared?" Ada was still a little unsure.

"I'm assuming he has, and perhaps laid a net--but so what?"

Xie Yuan didn't care about this: "We have a way out. If we really can't, we just need to retreat to the standby area—but as long as Broker Shadow is on board, I have the ability to let him die."

"Then why isn't he here?" Ada asked the worst plan.

"That's okay, we'll contact Liana as soon as we get out of danger—she should be flirting with Cerberus at this time, so there must be a shadow manager's weakness."

Xie Yuan had already made up his mind about this: "If we can't get the property of the Shadow Broker, our goal will be to fight the war of annihilation. It doesn't have to be confirmed that he will rob his property after his death. a little."

"It's good that you have a plan." Ada didn't have any comments anymore, she just asked about Xie Yuan and Iron Man's respective investigations, "Then the search in the wind group was fruitful?"

"The sonar scan shows that the results are still not optimistic - there are too many natural noises." UR-025 "Geth Elite" shook his head, then looked at Xie Yuan, "Boss, what's your harvest?"

"It's hard to notice this with the naked eye... However, I can't help it..."

Xie Yuan, who also had no good results, simply closed his eyes, let go of all his will barriers, and a large number of his brain waves began to spread around.

The influence of this brain wave is so wide that Ada even felt a feeling of being gently caressed by the sea water—as if her whole body was being looked at!
This strange feeling made Ada's face turn weird, but when he turned his head, the performance of UR-025 also became abnormally slow, as if... It seemed that his remote control had been seriously interfered with.

However, this tide-like feeling suddenly began to gather towards Xie Yuan as the center shortly after it radiated, so Ada was forced to experience the strange feeling of being caressed by the water again.

Then she saw Xie Yuan opened his eyes, then turned around and pointed towards the 9 o'clock direction of the spacecraft: "Over there, there are a large number of mechanical and biological signals in the direction of 30 kilometers, whether it is his trap or his lair. , all in that direction."

"Okay, sit still!" UR-025 immediately turned the driving direction full of energy and headed towards the direction of Xie Yuan's finger.
