"Artificial rain?"

Batman looked up as the cannonball shot into the clouds, making a muffled thunderous sound.

The dark clouds shook and the light after the explosion was faintly visible.

"Thanks to you for having Mr. Fawkes develop the antidote. Prepare for the worst in everything, don't you? Even if the Shadow Warrior Alliance completes its plan, I think this way will be enough to keep Gotham from a deep nightmare. ”

Leo's relaxed voice with a smile sounded in the communication channel, and even in the face of such a grim situation, he did not feel the slightest nervousness.

He was at the top of the Wayne Group building at this time, and next to him stood a middle-aged black male man.

Lucius Fox, formerly head of the Wayne Group's Applied Science Division, is also a shareholder of the company.

After the resignation of the previous CEO, Earle, he was appointed as the new manager by Bruce Wayne.

While Fox is in charge of the Wayne Group, he often provides technical support to Batman, such as the invulnerable combat armor, hook gun, and Batmobile equipment.

And the method of artificial rain is what he came up with.

Leo didn't stay long at Falcone's mansion, he took a helicopter straight to Gotham, and found Fawkes as soon as possible.

Compared to stopping the Shadow Warrior Alliance, or destroying the microwave emitter, the large-scale release of the antidote is obviously the key point.

"It takes about two to three minutes to wake Gotham out of a nightmare. Contact the Gotham Police Department and ask them to come out and wash the floor...... Ahem, pick up the pieces. ”

Almost half of the entire block of Gotham is covered in fear gas, and the impact is significant.

Chaos and violence are spreading like wildfire, and if there is no power to stop them, they will lead to even greater unrest.

At this time, you need to rely on the help provided by the government!

Although the Gotham Police Department has sent a large number of police forces in order to hunt down Batman, riot police and SWAT teams have been dispatched.

However, there were quite a few remaining police officers in the branch, who only did not react for the time being, and in addition to the lack of effective command, they did not know what to do.

"Gordon, please reply to that, at least let me know you're still alive."

Leo looked at Gotham in the night, and called Gordon, who had already entered the island.

He thought that Mr. Detective would not hang up easily, after all, after getting the scarecrow's fear gas, he handed the other party a tube of antidote.

At this time, there must be a commander with leadership ability to step up, and Detective Gordon, who is the nemesis of the gang, is naturally the best candidate.

"Ahem, ahem...... I'm alive. ”

Gordon's voice rang out intermittently in the communication channel.

After entering Nai Ho Island, the detective first noticed that something was wrong.

The central station, where the sky train boarded, was overrun by a group of guys dressed like ninjas in black armor.

He originally wanted to lead the riot police to check on him, and by the way, he could also divert the attention of arresting Batman, but he and his partner Fryce were directly subdued by several shadow warriors.

This also allowed Gordon to avoid the attack of fear gas, but he was knocked on the back of the head, and there was still some pain at this time.

"This ...... What a nightmare night. ”

Gordon staggered out of the station, icy rain pouring down on his face.

The inhabitants of the island were originally infected by fear and poisonous gas, screaming and fleeing, or allowing violence to dominate their bodies and minds.

Now the pouring rain washed over Gotham, and the fog that covered half of the city slowly lifted, and it seemed that everything was over.

"Gordon, do what you have to do."

Leo said lightly, and most of Gotham was in chaos right now.

Even if we wait for the fear gas to dissipate, it will take time to restore social order.

And there must be a police station to maintain law and order, otherwise it is easy to breed more serious evil.

In this invasion of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, Nai Ho Island was the hardest hit area, followed by the Upper East Side and the Old City.

Even if there are areas that are not affected by the fear of poison gas, the broken order and powerless police amplify the evil thoughts in the hearts of criminals and villains, and small commotions are frequent.

Looting, smashing, and violence are all happening all over the city.

Batman can save Gotham, but he can't stabilize the bad situation.

"I'm James Gordon! Call the dispatch station, call the dispatch station, please send all the police to reinforce Naha Island, and maintain law and order in the surrounding area. ”

Gordon has always been very responsible, or people like him are naturally full of mission and responsibility, and can always stand up at critical moments.

"There are a lot of injured people here who need ambulances and emergency medical care!"

In the time that followed, Gordon became a commander-in-chief.

Ambulance lights shuttle back and forth between cities, and due to the lack of manpower, the Gotham Police Department and even mounted police are dispatched to maintain law and order in various neighborhoods.

Riding tall horses, armed with riot shields and electric batons, they patrol the streets and enforce the law.

When the white fog slowly lifted, people looked around blankly, and they were greeted by smoking ruins, weeping and shouting one after another.

The cold rain extinguished the fear in their hearts, as if they had finally woken up from a terrible dream.

Hours later, Gordon was still holding on to the island.

He looked at the wounded as they were carried onto stretchers and into ambulances, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The bad situation has finally been contained, and it has not deteriorated into a worse situation.

The detective fumbled in his coat pocket a few times, but found nothing.

Just as he shook his head and sighed, a cigarette was handed over to him.

"The nightmare is over, Detective Gordon."

It was the Death Shooter who spoke, and he didn't know when he appeared on Nahe Island.

"Thank you. You are...... Mr. Lawton? ”

Gordon took the cigarette and lit it with the other man's lighter.

Take a deep breath, and the nicotine runs down the throat and into the lungs, relieving the tired spirit a little.

He knew this man in a red and black uniform, who was always by Leo's side, and he was supposed to be a bodyguard-like figure.

"It's really like a nightmare, even if you wake up, you will feel haunted by this terrible disaster."

Gordon muttered under his breath, he looked at the devastated island of Naiha, how many innocent people would die in the chaos that spread tonight?

The string of constantly beating numbers in the depths of his mind was like a bloody unfamiliar face, which made Mr. Detective dare not think about it anymore.

"Where's your boss and Batman?"

Gordon asked softly with a lit cigarette between his fingers.

Although he was not directly involved in this disaster, it is believed that the reason why Gotham survived should be due to Leo and Batman.

"Just like in the movie, at the end, the real protagonists always have to chat with each other for a few words, and then the subtitles of 'end' will be released."

The Death Shooter smiled and looked up at the towering building in the distance.

…………

"You called the National Guard?"

At the top of the Wayne Group building, Batman stands like a statue.

The icy night wind tore the cloak, and the rain hit the black armor, turning into smaller droplets of water and sliding down.

He looked down on the city below, and although the Shadow Warrior Alliance had been wiped out, it was not so simple to restore order.

A few minutes earlier, the National Guard had begun to settle into Gotham, setting up sentry posts in the streets to form a complete line of defense.

The ambulances shuttling back and forth and the police maintaining order have brought a sense of security to the innocent citizens who have been tormented by fear.

"It's easy to create chaos, but it's hard to restore order."

Leo looked down and said, as if full of meaning.

"The devastation that this disaster has caused Gotham is much more than that, those who have faced their inner fears in the dark, those whose hands are stained with blood and cannot be washed away...... They will recall this moment for countless nights to come. ”

"Violence, killing, madness...... Once the beast inside breaks the cage, it will be difficult to get it back in again. ”

Batman was silent, he knew Leo was right.

It is far more difficult to restrain anger and stick to the bottom line than to indulge oneself and become a slave to desire.

It is very simple to let go of the moral shackles in your heart, kill ruthlessly, and counter violence with violence.

But always stick to the principles of the heart, no matter what, never waver, but few people can do it.

Batman doesn't dare to guarantee that he won't fall, and once he crosses that line, there's a good chance he'll become just like a real violent.

"But the long night is finally over, isn't it?"

Leo threw his head back and took a deep breath, and the moist air rushed to his face.

When he turned around again, Batman was gone.

"Damn!"
