Chapter 60: Star City
"Whew!! You bastard, on purpose! β
The heavy container grazed the toes of one of the handlers as it was placed in the trailer, causing him to scream and curse from the pain in his heart.
"Hey, why blame me for putting it in the wrong place!"
The scolded person retorted in a bad tone.
"What's the noise, hurry up and load the goods!!"
A stout man came over and gave the two men a head stroke, ending the war that might have happened.
"Hurry up, you guys, you can't ?!! if you want to eat guns."
"But Boss, can such a large shipment be shipped out of Gotham? Wouldn't the bat be aware of it? β
The minions who were carrying it raised a common question. It's not that they think too much, the flying mammal has a superhuman sense of smell for this kind of thing. They had expected that these things would be sold in batches, but they didn't expect Red Hood to find a buyer to wrap it all.
It's nice to sell it all at once, but the question is how do you get this shipment out of the nose of that flying mammal?
"That's not what we should think, hurry up and load the goods and transport them to the designated place without time!"
The stout man gave the guys a kick in the ass, tightening their skins and urging them to speed up the loading.
The man looked at his men who were busy carrying the containers, lit a cigarette and leaned aside to think about the question just now. How to ship it out? He was sure that it would be able to be shipped out, but the question was how.
Remembering the first time he met that demonic man, he just made a robbery as usual. Instead, he robbed a demon with a red hood.
[You seem to be the leader of this generation of gangsters, I have something you need to do, of course it's not free....]
The red-hooded demon grabbed him by the neck with one hand and pushed him against the wall, surrounded by his little brothers, suffocating fear and overwhelming force that made him unable to utter a word. Then he and his companions became the secret transport of the Red Hood.
He didn't know where Red Hood was, and Red Hood would come to him when he needed it. Red Hood never asks them what they are selling, such as drugs or firearms. The only thing they need to do is deliver the stuff to the designated place at the appointed time.
The man was a character, and he had felt so since he first met him, and in just a few months, the whole of Gotham had been overwhelmed by him, the originally stable pattern had loosened, and various forces had begun to raise their heads.
If he didn't know Red Hood, then he would definitely have to get a piece of the pie, but the problem is that he knows the culprit of all this.
Red Hood never told them a reason for what to do, but he had learned a few things in the meantime.
The Red Hood hired them to transport nothing that was uncertain, and he had a lot of drug dealers to drive. Since the Red Hood appeared in Gotham so far, the items they are transporting have never been intercepted by Batman or any other organization.
He wasn't stupid, and soon figured out that they were a convoy that the Red Hood had deliberately hidden. Red Hood has been cultivating his power in Gotham, but he has never cultivated them, and they have always been the occasional ones that Red Hood has only occasionally used, but they are paid handsomely after every successful transport. It can be said that they are a hidden force of the Red Hood.
"What a close-knit man"
But Batman has already set his sights on him, so how can he transport so many arms to Star City this time? He was starting to look forward to it.
"Head, it's loaded!"
The man was in a daze, and his men had already loaded all the goods into the trailer. After taking a look at the containers and the size of the trailer containing them.
"Interesting, let me see how you got out from under the nose of that bat this time!"
The man still wants to see that demon-like guy with a headache, and it's not bad if he can't beat him and see him make a fool of himself. With this hope, he drove to the designated location on the outskirts of Gotham, but when he saw the mixer truck parked behind the red hood, he still felt that he was too naΓ―ve.
"Move things in!"
Red Hood was completely evasive about the fact that they were ten minutes late to the appointed time, as if it were something that didn't deserve attention. An icy mechanical synthesized sound came from under the hood, causing everyone to nervously move the cargo back into the large, modified mixing tank.
Bruce received the news that Red Hood had recently sent a shipment to Star City, and it was not clear what the exact goods were, but according to his guess, it was probably the one that was stolen from Black Mask.
Although he did guess that Red Hood would not give up the goods he had snatched from Black Mask, it was a bit of a surprise to him to sell them to Star City.
Star City and Gotham don't border each other at all, and the amount of that shipment is not a small amount, what does he plan to use to cover up such a huge amount of arms from land to Star City?
Bruce sat in his chair and thought about all the possibilities, but there were so many. Jason knows him, very, very well, and he can predict all of his own patterns of action and judgment methods to camouflage the transport vehicle.
Going to search one by one is not intended to be looking for a needle in a haystack. And to avoid becoming a target, he was confident that Red Hood would drive the transporter away from Gotham during the day.
Batman's movement during the day is limited, and the strong light makes him nowhere to hide, whether it is the Batmobile or the Batfighter, which is too conspicuous in the sun. Unless absolutely necessary, he usually only does his best at night. What's more, it is a question of whether the red hood will choose to be transported by car.
Calling up a map of the United States from the computer and looking closely, it is the most convenient and fast to transport from land, but it is also easy to be stopped by the police during the day. Taking the air route, with the financial resources of the red hood, he should not be able to afford to buy a heavy helicopter transport, if he chooses this route, then he will definitely have to steal a heavy helicopter first. Then there is the sea freight, which takes the longest time but is also the safest. The problem is that the coastline of Star City is not many and very complicated, and there are no suitable docks to facilitate the transportation of such things, the only possibility is to bring goods ashore from the neighboring seaside city and then transport them to Star City by land. With its long, complex coastline and stunning sunny beaches, it is easy for small transport boats to find a no-man's landing.
Bruce wasn't sure which line the Red Hood would choose.
γ... In short, I am very confident that Star City will be ...... from the previous disaster.
The familiar tone of voice coming from the live news about Star City, which had been playing on the computer, gave Bruce some hints.
Maybe he can go to Star City and wait for him first...
"Ah Fu...."
