Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1331: Federal Assembly (2)

The secret base was located in the belly of the mountain. After entering from the dock, one needed to take an elevator to the center of the base. This entire process required fifteen defensive armors. Judging from the defensive capabilities of the base, even if the main cannon of the Nelm people were to directly attack, it would still be very difficult to pierce through the base with one cannon.

After getting out of the elevator, the federal lieutenant brought Roddy and his group up the escalator, which took them to the conference hall. The base was brightly lit. People came and went, and they even saw soldiers pulling carts and carts of strategic goods passing by from time to time. The entire base showed a busy scene.

A few minutes later, Roddy arrived at his destination. After the federal lieutenant presented Roddy's identity card, a female lieutenant in charge of the reception in the conference hall was introduced into the hall. As the meeting had yet to begin, twos and threes of the people in the hall stood in the corners of the hall and whispered to each other. This scene was a little like the social events before the banquet of nobles, except for the lack of fine wine, food and music.

"Roddy."

Just as he entered the hall, he heard someone greeting him. Roddy looked at the old Kate, who was wearing a dark suit and a white scarf. The old man seemed to be in good spirits, standing beside him was William's head, Wallace, and his son, Ellen's friend Leon.

Roddy winked at Captain Black Hawk. The latter left with two guards. Roddy walked forward happily and greeted Old Kate and Warren. At this moment, someone whispered Hua Lao Si's name, and the elegant middle-aged man smiled and nodded, saying goodbye to Roddy.

"Uncle Roddy, have you heard from Alan?" Leon had been fighting on the surface all these years, and his entire body emitted a cold murderous aura from the inside out. Even though he concealed it well, Roddy could still see through it at a glance.

Roddy spread out his hands and said, "I only know that Alan went to Agares. As for the news, let alone me, not even Marshal Windsor Belo."

"He went to Agares?" Leon was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "I've already heard about him from my father. I only hate that I didn't know anything about him when he was trapped in the Iron Prison. Otherwise, why would I have to take part in the trip to the Iron Prison?"

Roddy patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's enough for you, and Alan wouldn't want his best friend to take such a risk."

In the distance, Warren shouted Leon's name. Beside him stood a few men and women with excellent manners. It seemed like they were going to introduce Leon to their friends. Leon nodded and said to Roddy, "If you have the chance to see Alan, please tell Alan for me. Even if he is some kind of son of twilight, he will always be my brother. If you need my help, you must come to me, or I will beat him up."

Then he grinned and said, "Even if I can't beat him now."

Then he waved his hand.

Roddy smiled and said, "I'm so happy for Alan to have such a friend."

"Indeed, we can have many friends, but we definitely don't have many sincere friends." Old Kate winked.

Roddy looked at the door and a group of people came in from outside. The leader was an old man in flower armor, leaning on a walking stick. He looked like those old men on the surface who had reached the age of candlelight. However, his eyes were still sharp, and there was a faint smile on his lips. He could not see the slightest twilight on his face. Just this appearance alone could tell that this old man was definitely not simple. What was worth noting next were two other people, one male and one female, walking on the left and right sides of the old man.

The man on the left side of the old man was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a beard. He had deep facial features and pursed his lips. He looked like a man who did not dare to laugh. What made people even more concerned was his movement posture. No matter which movement it was, it emitted a strong and domineering aura. One could tell that he was not a weak person at a glance. As for that woman, she was an ordinary person with a warm smile on her face, as if she was kind and generous to everyone. However, the faint coldness in her eyes told Roddy that she would not be a simple woman.

"Those are the people from the Gate of Freedom." Old Kate looked at the old man. The latter's gaze swept over as well. Old Kate bent down slightly to show her respect before saying, "That's Wally, the leader of the Gate of Freedom. The old man's mouth is sharp. You have to be careful when you talk to him." Otherwise, you wouldn't know what happened if he sold it to you. Did you see the man beside Wally? That was Commander-in-Chief Negan of the Gate of Freedom. This man's strength was not bad. I heard that he came from a grassroots background. He had served in the army before, but after he retired, he somehow gathered them for Wally.

'"Speaking of which, Wally wanted to set up the position of Marshal in the army of the Gate of Freedom. Naturally, Negan would be in charge of this position. However, Negan's strength was at the general level. If he were to hang up the position of Marshal, he would inevitably be laughed at by the Federation. Thus, he changed the title of Commander-in-Chief."

"What about that woman?" Since Old Kate had opened her mouth, Roddy didn't mind learning more.

'"Alex? This woman has an unclear relationship with Wally and Negan. On the surface, she is the purchasing officer of the Gate of Freedom. This woman is smart. I've dealt with her a few times and I can't make much money."

Roddy looked at the old man and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Kate still makes a deal with the Gate of Freedom? I'm not afraid that the Federation will have a hard time with you."

Old Kate chuckled and said, "If you don't do business, you can't eat. You're not allowed to do that. Could it be that the Federation has raised my entire family?" Our Morsen Clan isn't like you guys. We don't need to worry about food and clothing if we casually shoot down one or two colonial planets. Besides, of course, we won't sell the strategic goods that are strictly controlled by the Federation. We'll just do some food business. "

Roddy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who doesn't know that the Morsons are rich? You guys have a way of doing business. How can you risk your lives like us?"

"Alright, when did you become so sharp-mouthed?" Old Kate shook her head and asked, "Where's Mr. Horn?"

"We lost contact the night Babylon fell."

Old Kate sighed, "He came to me when he came back to Babylon. He said that there was a change in the Federation, and that it was a big change. He told me to prepare for it. Fortunately, he reminded me that I left Babylon overnight. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. Your father is a capable man. You and I both survived, and I'm sure he'll be fine."

"Of course." Roddy laughed.

At this moment, a series of low shouts rang out in the hall, and another group of people entered the hall. Old Kate and Roddy looked up. The former said "Oh", "It's the leader of Light Concealment Society."
