9. The Kuroshio Tide is coming
"You'd rather be deceived by a fool than focus on what really matters, Gotham would be ruined by you!
If you just listen to this sentence, then Director Lauber is definitely one of the people who moved Gotham, but the fact now is that he and his unjustified arrogance and arrogance are affecting the progress of what really matters, so he is finally "invited" out.
"Lauber is not such a stubborn person. "It's just that Falconi's death has put his position in jeopardy, and he now desperately needs to do something to maintain his current position, and that's it." ”
"Listen to what you say, old man. ”
"So for that fat man's position, the whole city, including you, is going to have his head cut off with his hands tied?"
He propped his hands on the table, his head on the palms, and he looked at the people in front of him, "I actually doubt how such a person could have sat in the position of police chief, and doesn't such a position need a righteous and capable man to fill it?
"Ahem"
Of course, Gordon knew who was behind the mask, but he was really embarrassed by such an ingenious "recommendation", he coughed lightly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the mayor's assistant, and Nestor, who looked quite young and capable, said bluntly,
"That's a legacy question, and we'll talk about it later, but now let's talk about you, Mr. Mysterio, although I don't know the sign myself, but from Major Thomas's opinion, your news is trustworthy, so let's get down to business, who are they, why are they attacking Gotham, and how are they going to attack Gotham?"
Cyber turned to look at Alfred, who nodded at him,
"I'll introduce this, after getting a warning from Mr. Mysterious, the Wayne family spent a lot of effort to gather information about them, that organization is called the Shadow Warrior Alliance, yes, it sounds silly, but it really exists, and the history of existence is far beyond our imagination, the Great Fire of London in 1666 was from them, including after entering modernization, the several horrific massacres in Europe have something to do with them. ”
Alfred pronounced the words clearly, and in just a few words, he rendered the terrible Shadow Warrior Alliance, and then accentuated his tone, attracting the attention of everyone present,
"As for why they are targeting Gotham, unfortunately, we don't know the specific reason, but judging from their internal situation, it is very likely that this is an operation related to evil beliefs, you can think of them as armed cultists, fighting hard, and most importantly, they have undergone rigorous training, they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary soldiers, and they are extremely strong in execution, which is why I found Battier!"
Alfred looked at Nestor, his face full of white hair revealing a solemnity,
"We can't put all our hopes on the Gotham Police Department until the National Guard arrives, and I'm sure Mr. Gordon agrees!"
The two of them nodded slowly, the Gotham Police Department is no longer rotten to be described, Major Thomas is a soldier, he is more concerned about the other side, after Alfred finished speaking, he knocked on the table and asked in a low voice,
"And what about the pattern of organizational offense they might have?"
"They can dispatch 300-500 people. ”
Alfred said that this number was what he had learned from his young master, and that the Shadow Warrior Alliance was a huge organization, and such an army could even be called an army.
"As for the offensive mode, we have received confirmation that they have held hostage off the Atlantic Ocean a device to be sent to the Desert Nevada for military experiments, which Wayne Industries designed for the U.S. military's desert operations program, which can quickly evaporate all liquids within a five-block radius. ”
"It doesn't sound threatening, but can it evaporate human water?"
Major Thomas asked with a frown, and Alfred replied in a low voice, "Yes!" but I don't think they're going to use it to vaporize anyone's blood. ”
The expressions of the crowd were a little puzzled, and Lucius, who was leaning against the door, stretched out a finger,
"Mr. Major, what if the evaporated water contains psychotoxins?"
"Bang"
Thomas instantly stood up from his chair, his hands propped up on the table, and looked at Lucius and Alfred with a solemn face, "Are you sure?"
They didn't answer, but the expression on their faces spoke for themselves, and the Major turned his gaze to Nestor and Gordon, and from their ugly faces, the Major already knew the answer to the question, yes, Nestor and Gordon immediately thought of the poisoning incident in the Arkham Asylum on the Narrow Island a few days ago.
"I'll contact the National Guard command in this state immediately!"
The Major left his seat, and he hesitated, "But with all due respect, it will take 3 hours for the nearest National Army Guard unit to Gotham to arrive, plus the time for communication and reporting, it is very likely to exceed 4 hours, is that enough?"
"Of course... Not enough!"
Cyber moved his shoulders to his feet and spread his hands, "Guys, don't be under any illusions, they're already here! My assistants have been attacked by them on the narrow island, yes, they've already touched your house, and maybe they'll be slashing at your neck the next moment." ”
"I immediately returned to the town hall and advised the mayor to evacuate the people. ”
Nestor was a true man of action, he stood up, his coat in his hand, and Gordon stood up, "I... Hey, I can muster the cops, the mounted cops, and the heavy cops who are still willing to act, but I don't know where to take them?"
"To the Narrow Island!"
Lucius, who had been standing in the doorway, took out a monitor from his pocket, it was a high-altitude aerial view of Gotham, and a red circle was displayed on that map very clearly, surrounding the center of the entire Gotham,
"This is the only means of transportation that can cover the entire city center in the shortest amount of time, if I were those shadow warriors, I would put that instrument on it, just need to walk around once, in 30 minutes, 40% of Gotham will be completely covered by the fear gas rising into the air, and the water system of the whole city is centered below the Wayne Tower, there is the end, once they get there, the water supply system of the whole city is finished, it will be the beginning of the second wave of chaos. ”
Lucius glanced at the crowd and whispered, "Yes, I'm talking about the air-rail train, which starts on the Narrow Island, and they don't want to destroy, folks, they want chaos! ”
"Got it!"
Gordon nodded, and under the black-rimmed glasses were a pair of determined eyes, "I will do my best to hold the road to the narrow island, I will not let them pass so easily!"
"Very well, let's do it, guys!"
Alfred clenched his fists, "Time is out of our side, seize every minute and every second." ”
The crowd left, but Sebo did not take off the black mask, and he said angrily,
"I told you the news last night, and you didn't start acting until tonight, Old Man Afu, your efficiency is too poor!"
"You can't blame Ah Fu for that, Seibo. ”
Lucius sat next to him a little tiredly, took off his gold-rimmed eyes, and rubbed his eyes,
"Falcone has corrupted the entire city's conquest department into a sieve, and it takes us a long time to tell who is a friend and who is an adversary, do you really think that the Shadow Warriors didn't install their own people in the Gotham City government?
"Oh my God, I feel more and more like I'm on a sinking ship. ”
Cyber complained maliciously, "Maybe I can save my life if I join the camp of the Shadow Warrior now, with such teammates here, can we really win?" Look outside, they are still brightly lit and ready to carnival until dawn!"
"It's not their war. ”
Battier, who had not spoken, the old man in his 50s, who was probably in his 50s wearing only a training vest on this late autumn night, said, "Ah Fu never expected them to help, Mr. Mysterious, didn't you ask Old Ah Fu how many mercenaries he found?"
"Huh?"
Cyber was instantly interested, and he turned his head to look at Alfred, who was sitting there resting, who noticed Cyber's gaze, and three fingers from deep in his eyes dangled in front of Cyber's eyes.
"300 people, the best we can hire!"
"Hah!"
Cyber stood up abruptly, and he finally heard the good news, "I take back that sentence just now, I have finally found a trustworthy teammate, Alfred, if we win, you must be the biggest hero... Wait, who are those people?"
Ah Fu followed Cyber's finger and looked out the window, where an orange pickup truck with his father's old pickup truck stopped in front of Wayne Castle, and out of it came an elderly gentleman dressed in black dress and carrying a cane, and five or six other people in various costumes, who strolled into the castle and seemed to be blocked, but soon the guards at the gate let them in.
"I'm not very familiar with the high society of Gotham, old man Ah Fu, have you seen them?"
Cyber turned his head to look at the old butler, who had an ugly look on his face, and he shook his head,
"Something isn't right! Battier, get your men ready!"
The mercenary leader grabbed a baseball cap from the table, put it on his head, and strode out, Cyber also took out his mobile phone and dialed Kevin's number, 1 minute later, the conversation was smooth, and then Cyber heard the girl's coquettish voice and Kevin's violent gasp,
"Wh. I'm busy..."
The voice almost immediately caught the eyes of Ah Fu and Lucius, and looking at the strange eyes of the two old guys, Cyber's face under the mask also became embarrassed, but fortunately the mask was not removed.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his desire to roar, and said in a low voice of indifference,
"Go drive, pick up something, Kevin, here's the chance you want!"
“...... Good!"
There was a sound of chickens and dogs jumping on the other side of the microphone, and a few seconds later, Kevin's voice came again,
"Head, I'll go over at once!"
On the other side, Bruce Wayne, who was standing bored in the hall and communicating with people he couldn't even remember by name, felt a wave of boredom, and he felt helpless to be distracted by these troublesome people when the big war was approaching.
But his other layer of identity is destined to make him unable to join the small meeting that is being held, he can only stay here, play his playboy image well, life is enough troubles, if you add another layer of identity that needs to be concealed, then life is really no fun.
Bruce drank the sweet and greasy wine in his hand, put the glass in his hand aside, and then the sweet voice of the maid sounded behind him,
"Master Wayne, there's an unbooked visitor here, and he says he's an old friend of yours. ”
"Oh?"
Wayne soothed his shoulder, and he turned around, "My friend is very..."
He saw the tall man who was looking at him with an indifferent face, his beard was groomed like a tiger's beard, grayish-white, spreading around his mouth, Bruce's second half of the sentence could not be said, and the handmaid with the wonderful figure was still introducing,
"He said his name was Lars..."
"Lars El Gul. ”
Bruce rested his left hand on the shoulder of the maid he had never seen before, and whispered, "Go down and get Ah Fu ready to entertain guests." ”
The maid gave Wayne a wink, but Wayne didn't notice her, but locked his eyes on the tall, silent man in front of him, so the maid could only turn away helplessly.
"No, you're not him! You're not Lars El Gul! I'll kill him with my own hands!"
Bruce stared at the tall guy, he whispered, and the next moment, another familiar voice sounded behind him,
"But isn't Lars El Gul immortal?"
"Isn't his will beyond reality?"
When Bruce Wayne heard this voice, his whole body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the familiar and respectful figure behind him,
"Of course, a famous son of Gotham who goes out in the middle of the night to do chivalrous righteousness has a dual identity, and you shouldn't complain about the dual identity of an old friend. ”
"Ducad! It's you!!"
The old gentleman put down his cane and held it in front of him, his harrier-eagle eyes resting on Bruce, his moustache was white, parted on both sides, and spread over his mouth, and was groomed like the beard of a real tiger, which made him look like a very dignified figure.
"Call me Lars El Gul, Bruce Wayne, my best disciple!
