A municipal transport boat, shaped like the word "concave" turned upside down, arrived over the street.
The shipping boat arrived directly above the old-fashioned car, aimed at it, landed, and successfully adsorbed the car into the gap with the word "concave".
Then the cargo boat took the old-fashioned car and slowly took off in the air under the eyes of the afro-headed driver with reluctance and complaint.
From the time Afro paid to buy the car and took it on the road to the time it was towed away by the municipal government, it took less than an hour.
Due to my parents not supporting buying a car, my own funds on hand are not rich, and other factors.
Afro bought this second-hand car with cash from a car dealer who guaranteed that "carbon emissions meet the standard", "the procedures are complete" and "will definitely be entered into the system".
Since the advent of Umbrella hydrogen engine vehicles, they have gradually replaced traditional vehicles due to their reliable performance and low-cost energy.
At the end of 2019, UGE official data showed that the market share of hydrogen engine vehicles reached 89%.
So on November 1, 2021, UGE promulgated a "Carbon Emissions Law" to prohibit the sale of traditional vehicles that do not meet carbon emission standards.
The promulgation of the carbon emission law is a matter of course. After all, this is a decision made by the public themselves.
Following this, the prices of traditional vehicles plummeted, but for car dealers who saw business opportunities, there was a short-term "spring".
Now, it is "late spring".
As of today, February 4, 2022, in just three months, through the cooperation and efforts of the police, customs and other departments, the phenomenon of buying and selling has been effectively controlled.
Due to luck, I blindly trusted the car dealer's afro, and had to follow the police back to the police station to make a record, and then accept the penalty for dangerous driving.
However, the car dealer who specialized in cheating for money came to the police station half an hour earlier than Afro.
After the police airship took off and the streets returned to normal, tourists continued to enjoy the summer in the southernmost tip of Africa.
This extremely modern city is the second-largest Elizabeth City in Africa. Located in Port Elizabeth on the seaside, it is also the second-largest star port in Africa.
The various engineering ships, mining ships and large cruise ships hovering above the coastline are one of the reasons why Elizabeth City has so many tourists.
On the desert plain twenty kilometers northwest of Elizabeth City, there is a UNSC base large enough to accommodate 30,000 people.
On the airport of the base, there are parked a large number of dark green painted Pelicans, Gladius bombers and other transport boats and attack aircraft, as well as many small assault boats in the atmosphere.
Overlooking the entire base from the air, in addition to a wide range of aerial vehicles, most of the ground vehicles are off-road vehicles and light armor, but there are a few Scorpion main battle tanks.
At this moment, in the open space and playground to the east of the base, a large number of soldiers wearing black short-sleeved shirts and desert-colored combat pants were undergoing high-intensity training.
On one of the playgrounds, soldiers were seen running in groups of five or five, carrying a solid log and running around the playground.
On the three flagpoles in the center of the playground, there were the flags of UGE and UNSC, as well as a military flag with an upside-down dagger burned by fire.
The words "UNSC 9th Airborne Division" are also printed around the dagger.
Counting ground support, civilian and various personnel, the UNSC 9th Airborne Division has a total of more than 36,000 personnel.
However, the actual number of people in the base is around 21,000, most of whom are "new recruits" who have failed to meet the standards. The other 15,000 are deployed to UNSC naval ships.
Although they are new recruits, their physical fitness and reaction speed are far superior to those of ordinary Marines or Army soldiers.
After all, the duty of the airborne troops is to board a drop cabin that can accommodate four people, leave the naval ship's atmosphere directly, and carry out rapid strikes against ground targets.
Essentially, the same as Umbrella's Helltrooper Company.
Therefore, the nine airborne divisions under the UNSC are the most elite after the Special Command.
The office building in the center of the base.
In an office on the fifth floor.
A gray-haired officer in his early fifties with the rank of colonel sat behind his desk.
As if he doesn't like high technology, the colonel is reading paper documents to learn about the current situation of the airborne division.
"Shua~——."
At this moment, the sound of the automatic door opening and closing resounded throughout the office.
When the colonel heard the noise, he said without looking away from the document: "Is there something important, Second Lieutenant?"
However, a few seconds after the words fell, the "Second Lieutenant" did not reply.
Sensing that something was not right about the situation, the colonel raised his head, but did not see the second lieutenant who assisted him in his daily work at all. He was still alone in the office.
See this.
The colonel frowned and became wary. He didn't bother to consider personal preferences and directly called up the holographic screen on his desk and contacted the second lieutenant.
When the second lieutenant's figure appeared on the screen, the colonel said: "Second lieutenant, ask the maintenance personnel to come to my office."
"Yes, sir."
Within two minutes after ending the communication, the automatic door opened again.
But this time, it was not as "haunted" as before. Instead, the second lieutenant led two maintenance personnel also wearing military uniforms into the office.
"Check the door to my office," the colonel said.
"yes."
Two maintenance staff began to check the automatic door and the terminal installed on the wall. Finally, a maintenance staff reported:
"Colonel, the circuit of the automatic door is indeed a bit old. Do you want to replace it with a new one now?"
"Well, let's change."
The colonel nodded in response and felt ridiculous for making such a fuss about the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door.
But in fact, a "ghost" who could not be observed with the naked eye took advantage of the gap between the second lieutenant and the maintenance staff to open the automatic door and left the colonel's office.
If there were an outline to outline the "ghost", it would only highlight the almost perfect proportion of the figure, and she was the first batch of ghost agents who were personally taught by Sui Bian——
Nova.
The purpose of her coming here is to assist the Red Queen to fully grasp the detailed information of the UNSC's newly established 7th Airborne Division and all officers of the rank of lieutenant and above.
For example, whether the mood is irritable, whether the behavior is cautious, etc.
The Red Queen can use big data for analysis, but on-site investigation confirmed that ghost agents with psychic perception like Nova are still needed.
After obtaining accurate information, once the Red Queen detected that there were combatants from the 9th Airborne Division near the place where the abnormal event occurred...
Then the Red Queen can rely on the personality of each officer and give them different instructions to assist Umbrella in handling the incident more efficiently.
Investigation tasks like this are equivalent to relaxation and entertainment for Nova, who has extremely strong psychic abilities.
She came to the central hall on the fifth floor and used the walking stairs to prepare to leave the office building.
"Beep——!Beep——!"
"Attention all personnel! Elizabeth City is under attack!"
But suddenly, the entire base sounded the alarm and broadcast reminders, but Nova was no longer in a leisurely mood.
