Chapter 45: Coincidence I

Unbeknownst to Robin and the others who left the neighborhood, shortly after they left, Alston and Bancroft had reached a dirty deal full of intrigue not far from them.

At this moment, Robin and the others, each carrying a toolbox through the flow of people, looked like a group of mechanics who were about to repair a large machine. And with Robin and Li taking the lead in hinting, Zhuo Luo and the others also hid their actions and eyes very well, so that they didn't show any flaws along the way.

Arriving at the traffic station in the industrial zone, Robin stopped a multi-person maglev car, and after putting a sufficient amount of coins in the coin slot, the door of the automatic maglev car slowly closed, and the automatic navigation system in the car immediately prompted passengers to choose the destination and path with an electronic sound.

The maglev vehicles used by the Raymond Federation are roughly similar in function to the maglev vehicles produced by the Republic, but the payment card used by the Republic is an electronic card with a personal identification system, while the Raymond Federation uses the ancient way to directly insert coins and does not have an identification system. This feature avoids the identity troubles of Robin and others to a certain extent, but it also represents the biggest feature of the Raymond Federation: as long as you have money, no one cares who you are.

Robin set the destination as the air base, and after glancing at Li and the others, he gritted his teeth and pressed the confirmation button.

Immediately, the maglev car slowly floated up under the impetus of the engine, and after reaching the safety line of 60 cm, the maglev car violently sprayed two dazzling tail flames, pushing the car body to speed into the distance like a slide.

After driving for a while, the maglev took Robin and the others away from the crowded streets of the industrial area and drove onto the first-class traffic road leading to the headquarters of the Federal Army. Gradually, the vehicles that appeared on the road began to crowd.

"Oh my God! How many models of maglev vehicles are there in the Raymond Federation? Why does it look different for each one? Looking out the window curiously, Li looked at the rapidly reversing scenery while looking at the various types of maglev vehicles that were overtaking around him from time to time.

In the Nine-Star Republic, any planet and any large space station is the same type of maglev vehicle that resembles an egg. Moreover, this kind of public maglev vehicle does not have automatic driving function, and all of them use automatic driving. Therefore, except for the army soldiers who fought in the border areas, basically the citizens of the republic could not enjoy the thrill of driving their own cars and speeding through the wind.

This is not the case with the Raymond Federation, where everyone has their own maglev vehicle, except for the economically poor who are in financial difficulty. In the eyes of federal citizens, maglev vehicles have to drive themselves to feel it, although this has led to frequent traffic accidents in the Raymond Federation, but considering the huge profits made by maglev manufacturers every year, the federation has not forced the use of autonomous driving with a higher safety factor like the nine-star republic.

Now, these various types of maglev vehicles that are speeding on the first-class traffic road are the products of this mode. And compared with the slow and slow-driving public maglev cars, the surnames of those private maglev cars are significantly higher. Not only is it strange in appearance, but it is also much more powerful in terms of engine power, and even the most expensive high-speed maglev can reach an astonishing speed of two times the speed of sound, which is almost enough to catch up with some of the older models.

"Tut-tut...... I really envy the life of the people of the Federation, what do you want...... Like us, life is as plain as boiled water. Looking at the high-speed maglev car that quickly disappeared at the end of the field of vision, Angus, who was accustomed to flying at extreme speed, couldn't help but say to himself with envy.

Robin glanced at Angus when he heard this: "What, you want to be a traitor?" ”

"Phew! ~Don't take me so badly. Angus patted his chest hard: "I am a noble republican [***]." ”

"Cut! ~”

As soon as Angus said this, disdainful laughter suddenly sounded all around.

"There is a car accident ahead, the path is changed, and the ...... is avoided"

At this moment, such an electronic sound suddenly sounded in the car. Immediately, Robin and the others felt that the car began to tilt slightly and drove into another lane. Soon, two crashed high-speed maglev cars appeared in the field of vision of Robin and others, and the two young people who ejected from the car stood on the side of the road and scolded each other angrily, looking about to make a big move.

Seeing this scene, the imbalance in everyone's hearts couldn't help but be much less. Although Robin didn't say it, everyone was young, who didn't yearn for this kind of free and easy life, but now seeing this scene, at least there was an excuse for them to comfort themselves.

"It's almost there, get ready to get off."

More than an hour later, Robin pressed the stop button before the automatic maglev reached its destination. The group got out of the car not far from the Federacy headquarters traffic station, found a secluded path, and began to approach the air base on foot, which was located on the outskirts of the Federalist headquarters.

Since the place where Robin and the others are located is already a real federal military area, there are more and more federal soldiers passing by along the way, but fortunately, there are many civilians in overalls like Robin and others, and many federal soldiers sneak out of the barracks to have a tryst with lovers, so Robin and his party don't look too strange.

However, after walking for a while, Robin noticed a problem and immediately found a corner to hide.

"Hey, Zolo, you can't relax. Damn, the murderous aura on your body is too heavy, and several groups of people have been looking at us just now. Robin looked around, and when he saw that no one was following, he yelled at the murderous Zolo.

"I can't control ......" Zhuo Luo rubbed his face vigorously, trying to make his expression a little kinder, but the smile that seemed to be a smile made him look even more terrifying.

"No, sooner or later we'll be discovered." Robin rubbed his chin and pondered, but his eyes inadvertently skimmed to a vending machine not far away.

"Maybe a hat would be better."

Robin walked over to the vending machine and bought a baseball cap for Zoro to put on, lowering the brim to cover Zolo's scarlet-blooded eyes.

After putting on the hat, Zhuo Luo did feel better, but that kind of anger was obviously too heavy.

In desperation, Robin shaved off a handful of Lee's hair, sticking three upturned mustaches on Zoro's lips and chin. This retro-style funny beard immediately diluted Zhuo Luo's arrogance, although it still looked uncomfortable, but fancy clothes and strange surnames are common among young people in the Federation, so they will not be as noticeable as before.

"Alright, we're going to go in next." In order to successfully disguise Zhuo Luo, Robin turned to Li and asked, "Lee, where is that place you are talking about?" ”

"The soldiers who were holding the girl just now came from that direction, I thought, it must be there." Lee rubbed his chin and pointed in a direction that looked particularly dark.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Let Lee walk in front alone to explore the way, while Robin and the others follow from a distance, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

As soon as he walked out not far away, Li at the front suddenly made a 'hidden' sign language, while Robin and the others in the back immediately hid and slowly moved closer to Li's position.

Gradually, Robin vaguely heard the sound of many girls frolicking. He looked out and saw several girls dressed in ** standing on the side of a path, and some of the GIs who seemed to have drunk too much were hugging them and frolicking loudly, as if they had just returned from a party.

Pointing to the crevice-like path to Lee, who was also observing, Robin slowly retreated into the dark shadows.

The GIs seemed to have had enough of the trouble, and ordered a companion who seemed more sober to send the girls back, and the drunken GIs turned shoulder to shoulder and walked into the path.

At this moment, Robin and the other six hid their aura and hid in the shadows, and the soldier who was surrounded by many warblers and swallows seemed to have completely lost his vigilance, not realizing at all that there were six murderous Republic soldiers hiding in the place he had just passed.

Soon after, the roar of the engine start sounded and faded away. Robin listened intently for a moment, and after confirming that the men were far away, he gestured to spread the formation. And he leaped out of the shadows with an arrow step, and quickly approached the path like a shadow close to the ground.

The trail is actually a gap between two huge buildings, which are walled on both sides and are defended by surveillance devices and power grids.

"We've come to the right place, this building is an airport signal tower." Angus, who was a pilot, recognized the two huge buildings at a glance and whispered into Robin's ear.

"I'll go in first, and I'll come in when I hear my signal."

Robin nodded at Angus and quickly dodged into it against the edge of the wall.

After walking a short distance, Robin saw a metal wall that was not tall. This section of the fence appears to have been cut off by someone, so it looks lower than the rest of the city, and the power grid and surveillance devices installed on it have been secretly torn down.

Robin quickly leaned to the wall, listened attentively, and felt that there was no one behind the wall, so he deftly climbed over the wall.

Climbing over the wall, Robin found that it seemed to be a place to pile up debris, and the soldiers who had sneaked back to the barracks didn't seem to have gone far, and Robin could still hear them talking.

Robin made a few strange noises in his tongue and stood guard around a corner. Subsequently, Zhuo Luo and the others climbed over the wall one by one and quickly converged beside Robin.

Colin turned on the tactical radar and looked at it, frowned, and said, "Robin, there is signal martial law here, and my radar can't be used." ”

"Now that we're in, we're afraid we won't find a place. But we'll have to get out of here right away, and if any more soldiers come back, we'll be in trouble. ”

Robin looked out and saw that the soldiers had already walked away, so he rushed out first, taking advantage of the shadows formed by the building from time to time, and followed the soldiers walking in front of him.

During the time that Robin followed these GIs, they were equivalent to having an artificial radar. Because these GIs would stop to say hello whenever they encountered Union soldiers patrolling the base, and the movement they caused in front of them allowed Robin, who was following them, to anticipate and conceal them.
