Chapter 421 Reunion of ‘Old Friends’
This camouflaged tunnel buried deep underground is just one of the many passages in the network of camouflaged escape tunnels underground in the federal capital.
During a Capitol riot decades ago, this camouflage tunnel was used once. The user at that time was the Secretary of State who was at the center of the riot.
Today, after being sealed for decades, this passage has welcomed a new user after a long absence.
Van Fleet held the steering wheel of the military jeep with some unfamiliarity. He could no longer remember how many years ago he last held the steering wheel and galloped.
And in order to prevent the vehicle's control system from being cracked by electronic attacks, all vehicles parked at the starting point of the camouflage channel do not have automatic driving functions.
However, except for some intersections, most of the routes pretending to be escape tunnels are straight, so this is not a big problem.
The maintenance of the vehicle is completed by a group of autonomous machines. Except for a secret inspection once a year, no other humans will come here at other times.
Van Fleet drove the vehicle along the tunnel. Although he basically kept going straight at high speed, he still felt that the long tunnel seemed to have no end.
He couldn't help but think of the attack he had just suffered. The military-industrial complex was more courageous than he thought, and even dared to attack an active federal army lieutenant general directly in the core area of the capital.
"No, they dare to attack me. Guterres's bar is in a more remote location. There is no reason why they won't attack me."
An unknown premonition flashed in Van Fleet's mind, and at the same time I also began to worry about my only 'fellow traveler' on this road.
"That guy is so rich, the bar's defense should not be bad, and he can hold on for a while anyway, right?"
Van Fleet kept thinking in his mind, and at the same time Many other messy matters have been passed through, and the journey that originally did not take a lot of time has come to the end.
Seeing that he was about to escape temporarily, Van Fleet always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if everything had come to an abrupt end very abnormally.
But the speeding vehicles and the passing time didn't leave him much time to think. It didn't take long for the vehicle he was driving to reach the end of the disguised passage.
Van Fleet made some operations on the center console, and the appearance of the vehicle quickly changed from a tough military-style paint to a low-key black civilian paint.
After all, if you continue to drive a military vehicle on the road, it won’t be long before you are discovered by the military-industrial complex, which is full of informants in the capital.
Several closed heavy alloy doors directly ahead rose quickly after detecting the approach of authorized vehicles. When the outermost camouflaged door also rose, the outside sunlight finally shone in. In the tunnel.
And Van Fleet also saw the 'emergency response team' who was waiting for him at the door, as well as his wife and daughter who were being controlled beside them.
"Scoop!!!"
The harsh sound of braking sounded in the passage. Under Van Fleet's heavy braking, the military jeep finally stopped less than 15 meters away from the gate.
No matter how reckless and stupid Van Fleet was, he had already realized that something was wrong and quickly realized that he might have been betrayed by his most trusted lieutenant.
"When did Lieutenant Colonel Modres join you?"
"This matter is no longer important, isn't it? Lieutenant General Van Fleet."
< br>
A man who looked like a leader among the armed men said:
"You'd better come over and reunite with your family first. You see your daughter is almost scared."
>"What do you want? If you just want to get rid of me, you have countless methods you can use just now."
"It seems that you are not completely confused. As long as you go with us honestly, Go meet a few guests who are interested in you, then I can completely guarantee the safety of you and your family."
"What if I say no?"
As soon as Van Fleet said these words, the atmosphere became tense instantly, but the commander of the armed personnel seemed to have expected this, so he was not surprised.
“You can give it a try.”
“Boom!” A figure falling from the sky directly trampled the armed man to the ground and turned him into a puddle of exploding minced meat, while also interrupting The second half of his sentence.
——
“The transfer of character consciousness is completed, the combat body B4776 ‘folding knife’ is being activated, and various subsystems are completing adaptation”
"The combat body No. B4776 has been activated, and the synchronized activation of the 'puppet' combat team under the body has been completed."
"Transmitter, please synchronize your consciousness."
The familiar yet unfamiliar voice woke Baninger up, and he quickly realized that this was the standard voice of the combat assistance AI.
When he saw the world in front of him clearly again, he found that he was in a material transport box that was about to be opened.
At this time, the combat body that he was 'possessed' was folded and stored in the supply box together with the attached weapons, accessories, and ammunition.
"Captain, how does it feel to transmit consciousness over a long distance for the first time?" Lilith's voice
"It feels like sleeping. It's still not very comfortable." While feeling this new body, Baninger tried to unfold the folded state and stand up from the material carrying box.
“You will get used to it next time, now let’s do some business first. The federal lieutenant general that Master is concerned about is about to fall into the enemy’s trap, so we need to come forward to help him, otherwise The long-term surveillance will be in vain."
As Lilith said, she transmitted the relevant combat information, and Baninger, who had transformed into a digital life, also read the information in an instant.
"What do I need to do? What support can I get?"
Baninger walked out of the supply box and looked at his environment while adapting to his new body. This seemed to be the inside of a building somewhere, probably It looks like four or five floors.
The supply boxes painted in the style of large express delivery are placed in the warehouse on this floor.
“At a sewage treatment outlet near the river below the south side of the building - or the exit of the disguised escape tunnel, there is a group of armed men from the military-industrial complex. They kidnapped Van Fleet’s wife and daughter. Here Waiting for him to fall into the trap."
After hearing the name 'Van Fleet', Baninger also felt a strange feeling in his heart.
As the federal commander who commanded the troops to destroy the teaching team, Baninger should have hated him to the core, but after becoming a digital life, he felt that he could no longer hate him.
But the scene of preparing to rescue this guy still made him feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he didn't need to introduce himself.
While he was having these strange thoughts, Lilith was still explaining the situation at the same time.
“Since this operation is in the federal capital, we cannot use heavy equipment. Your current ‘body’ is smuggled in as a civilian robot.
Then again It is quietly modified for combat by worker bees, and it only has relatively basic combat effectiveness, but if it is controlled by you, it is not something that the following miscellaneous fish can fight against.
By the way, there are also five combat puppets, which you can control through the ‘Clone’ ability you just learned~”
“Were these things shipped in a long time ago? Baninger asked curiously.
“It may be earlier than you think. Master’s layout here should have started before we put the two generals back.”
Lilith paused for a moment, then said seriously:
"Get ready to fight, our protagonist is about to appear. ”
Harsh brakes, angry Van Fleet, and armed men with a guaranteed victory
When the armed men of the military-industrial complex began to ask Van Fleet to surrender and move closer, Ba, who had already calculated the jumping distance, Ning Ge suddenly started sprinting with the battle puppet.
At this moment, the exterior glass on his floor had been removed in advance and replaced with a transparent polymer material used for camouflage.
After completing the last step of acceleration, smashing the disguise and rushing into the air, Baninger returned to this world in another form and entered the fighting state as before.
"Immortal, start taking action."
