1952. Everyone has their own thoughts
Entering Laboratory 101, Sherry-Birkin looked at a dark space. There was a faint green light in her eyes. Even in such an environment where she could not see her fingers, she could move freely.
Several other U. S. S members turned on their tactical flashlights and observed the surroundings. Behind them, more Umbrella staff members walked in with various tools.
"Miss, we have found the built-in power supply and repaired the cut off power supply. Do you need to turn it on?" A staff member came over and asked in a low voice.
"Cut off the built-in power supply again and use our own external power supply." Sherry-Birkin said calmly, "Use the external power supply to restart the host here, take over all security systems, and then turn on the internal power supply."
"Yes."
Soon, some lighting equipment was brought in and lit up, and most of the interior environment of the laboratory was immediately illuminated, revealing the completely destroyed interior of the laboratory.
The place they were in was a huge reception hall, and they could also see a statue in the center that might be the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium ancestor emperor, as well as some things like a front desk.
However, everything has been completely burned, and there are still some burnt skeletons on the ground. They all seem to be researcher Xilu people.
Walking in from the hall, there are a large number of laboratories, but the doors of these laboratories are all closed, and the insides are also burned to rubble.
"They connect the automatic firefighting system and the automatic destruction system. When the fire needs to be extinguished, water or firefighting foam will be sprayed out. When it is necessary to extinguish the mouth, the deadly flames will be sprayed out." Ruper, a U. S. S. special soldier walking behind Sherry-Birkin, said.
She is the captain of U. S. S Delta Squad and is called 'Wolf Mom' by her team members.
"If this is the case, the possibility of leaving clues is indeed very small. Look for any blind spots." Sherry-Birkin looked in all directions and added, "The things here alone cannot take up so much power. Look for a deeper area."
"What do you think about Umbrella Corporation? Shepard." Returning to the command center, Lieutenant General He Ru turned to ask.
"They have something to hide from us, and they don't intend to let us know." Shepard looked sideways at He Ru, "I joined Exploration Fleet not long after I was awakened, and I don't know that person. How is she?"
"Sherry-Birkin?" He Ru frowned, "It is said that she joined Fourth Civilization when she was very young. Her parents are the founders of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group. But her father William-Birkin Because of a medical accident, my mother Annette-Birkin also became a vegetable. After that, it was Sherry-Birkin who led the rapid development of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group and became one of the largest companies in our country."
"So, she's quite powerful." Shepard raised his eyebrows.
He Ru affirmed, "So I am really surprised that such a ruthless character actually came to Unknown Regions in person to participate in the research of this unknown... Meng Gal-Meng Gal. Do you think she is hiding something from us?"
"Purpose. Sherry-Birkin must be thinking of taking Meng Gal-Meng Gal as their own. They are already studying T-Virus and Veronica Virus. Not satisfied..." Shepard said in a deep voice, "But what worries me the most is this - they may not know more about Meng Gal-Meng Gal. If they act rashly, they may cause a big mess."
"Sherry-Birkin... Her aggressive attitude also prevented us from telling her more." Lieutenant General He Ru shook his head and sighed.
"This is not unexpected. She just wanted to kick us away. Thinking about the human battery technology that we destroyed, you can understand why she did this." Shepard said, "I think it is also because of me that Dawn Star Planet no longer trusts us."
"It's not your fault, Shepard. You did what you should do..." Lieutenant General He Ru looked into the distance through the window, "Actually... even if I voted in favor of exterminating Xilu people, it doesn't mean that I think it is the right thing to do. Ten billion lives... No matter how heinous Ssi-ruuvi Imperium is, it absolutely cannot be a reason to exterminate a race like this."
He looked back at Shepard and then said, "I voted in favor from the standpoint of being a Fleet Commander. If Xilu people is not exterminated, we will never have peace in Levik planet. Sometimes, you have to go against your own conscience to make the decision you should make."
He sighed again and continued, "For me, I can only keep telling myself that the race that was slaughtered by Xilu people is far more than 10 billion. Maybe this will make me feel better."
Shepard nodded, and she said to He Ru, "General He, I want to follow Normandy and continue to investigate Unknown Regions in depth."
He Ru frowned, "Do you know how dangerous it is here now? The remnants of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, and the unknown Meng Gal-Meng Gal, these things are huge threats. What's more, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium destroyed a lot of their files, and we don't even know how big their the Empire territory is."
He clicked on the star map of the holographic projection, and there was darkness everywhere on it. "It is very likely that you will bump into it and find that you are in front of a planet that is still loyal to Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Moreover, the repair work of the Eternity super carrier... We need to build a new Space Shipyard for Eternity before we can start repairs, which will take at least six months."
Shepard said, "This is a risk that must be taken. If you stay at Levik planet, you will never find the real information about Gal-Meng Gal. You should understand that from the information we have received so far, at least Ssi-ruuvi Imperium has done an excellent job in containing the invasion of Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal. In other words, the real threat from Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal will not be reflected in Xilu within the Empire."
Lieutenant General He Ru nodded, "What you said does make sense. Then, at least let a few Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers cooperate with you."
"Hell Angel-class is a battleship after all, not an exploration spacecraft. It cannot support continuous exploration in an environment without supplies for a long time. Bringing Hell Angel-class is just a burden. Normandy is enough." Shepard said.
He Ru had no choice but to agree, "This trip is very dangerous. I will give instructions to Ashley Williams and the others."
Shepard shook his head and said, "I'll tell them that this trip is indeed very dangerous after all, so if they don't want to go, I won't force them."
