Chapter 13: Crushing
The dizziness penetrated deep into the cerebral marrow, the eyelids were as difficult to open as if they had been filled with lead, and the viscous touch of the clothes soaked in blood came from the back of the spine.
Leon struggled to his feet against the wall, and through the dim old lights of the curved dome of the sewers, he realized that the passage to the surface had been completely blocked by the collapse caused by the explosion.
The foul-smelling sewage floating in the dark ditch gradually accumulated up the steps, and occasionally a few thin and weak black dirty rats emerged from the corners of the stone wall, and someone hurriedly retracted his head, sticking out the tip of his nose and sniffing lightly.
The harsh environment didn't affect Li Ang much, and he held his breath and retreated into the sea of knowledge, checking his own situation.
Hundreds of points on Zhou's body have been opened, and the vortex of aura runs on its own like an engine, restoring the muscles that have been anesthetized by relaxants.
"This "Human Immortal Refining Method" is really a bit unusual, just a superficial deduction of the first layer of performance, there is a faint sense of natural circulation of the body."
Li Ang thought to himself: "If I had changed to another method, I am afraid that I would have been paralyzed by this muscle relaxant and would have suffocated to death in pain." ”
At this moment, the blonde girl who fell to the ground also woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes and nose damaged by tear gas, and asked in confusion, "Where am I?" ”
"If you need to explain, you're now under the highway a hundred meters in front of the bridge on Fifth Avenue to Sullivan Island in Old Gotham."
Leon whispered without a hint of emotion, "As for you, you should now express your gratitude to me for being able to breathe the turbid and rancid smell of the sewers, instead of becoming a puddle of minced meat in the explosion." ”
“..... What the? ”
The gray-faced girl obviously failed to figure out the current situation, and was even more at a loss.
Leon didn't explain anything, bent down, and pulled at the leg of the girl's jeans with the sharp stone he picked up.
"What are you going to do?!"
The girl screamed in horror, but was instantly covered by Leon's mouth.
"Shut up, idiot, I'm not the kind of teenager who can't walk when I see a beautiful girl, and I'm not a gentleman with a gentleman, I saved your life, every breath and every beat of your heart is due to me, if you shout again, then I swear that in the next second your face will be pressed by me into the ditch next to me, drinking the foul smell and sticky stream of putrid water to choke to death."
Leon's tone was cold and cruel, as if he was explaining an inconsequential matter.
The girl was frightened, she had seen the beastly predator look in her banker father, who had bankrupted hundreds of low-class families in the midst of her father's bargaining contracts and laughing.
"Good, don't make any noise." Seeing that the girl no longer resisted, Leon nodded in satisfaction and tore her trouser leg completely with a hissed with the edge of the stone.
With his right hand, he knotted the corduroy jeans leg in a circle, passed it through his left shoulder, and wrapped his broken left arm so that it would not fall to the ground.
Seeing the happy expression on the girl's face, Li Ang said mockingly: "Please relax and respect lady, I have not the slightest 'interest' in your vulgar body decorated with expensive cosmetics, except that one of your trouser legs can help me fix my arm, you have no use for me." ”
After that, he adjusted the position of his left arm, turned around and left without looking, leaving the girl behind.
"Wait a minute," the girl cried softly behind him, "where are you going?" ”
Li Ang didn't look back, just waved his hand and said, "Escape." ”
"Huh?"
"If you've ever looked at a map of Gotham's sewer system from 1920, we're at the end of the sewers on the coast of Old Town, the road behind us is blocked by stones, and the only exit in front of you is the sewage center, from which the clowns probably escaped."
Leon paused for a moment, then replied: "The sewer pipes with a structure like a megaphone can transmit the sound of explosions to half a city, even if those clown gangs have intelligence lower than the average Gotham bandit, they should have reacted by now that the explosion did not destroy the dollar money, hostages, and police on the school bus as they expected." They may come over at any time to check on the situation. ”
As if to confirm what he had said, a rush of footsteps echoed around the corner ahead.
"Boss, I think we should get out of here right now, those strips are probably going to be..."
According to memory, this should have been the voice of the clown nicknamed Pennywise Wise.
"Shut your dog's mouth," Bucky's voice grim, "damn it, what went wrong?" ”
The uneven shadows of the clown gang were pulled and distorted by the light, and Leon tapped back to the girl's side on tiptoe, pressed her against the dark corner, and said in her ear, "Don't make a sound." ”
Leon silently took off his shoes, gently lowered them into the sewage ditch, moved his body slightly, and leaped suddenly, his toes and fingers pressed deep into the gap in the stone wall, and the whole person hung like a gecko on the curved dome, slowly moving towards the corner of the sewer.
Bucky and the others did not take off the gas helmets they wore on their heads, the boots on their feet kicked on the steps, and the flashlight lights reflected brightly on the water.
Finally, the corner arrived.
Leon let go of his fingers, twisting his body to keep his balance as he fell, and his feet slammed into the sewage, the splash of water obscuring the clowns' vision.
With a sweeping palm of his hand, he slammed his opponent's Adam's apple, causing his breathing to stagnate and exhaust, and as he staggered backwards, he clenched his fist and struck him with his middle knuckle in the middle of his ribs from the bottom up, causing him to arrest his heart.
Turning around and clenching his fist, he struck the other man's temple with the knuckles of his thumb – where the parietal, zygomatic, sphenoid, and temporal bones meet, and the bone plate was so thin that it ruptured the posterior middle meningeal artery and tore it in the bone canal, causing him to lose his will in an instant.
The aura vortex with hundreds of tricks up and down his body was running rapidly, squeezing the last trace of potential, and instantly knocking down the two was already the limit of Li Ang, he gasped and rolled on the ground to avoid the opponent's random gunfire, and at the same time stomped on the ground, supported it with one hand, and the moment it rose into the air, the moment it rose into the air, and then the force of gravity hit the third person with his elbow on the top of the head.
The cervical vertebrae snapped in response, and Leon pinched the clown's neck with his backhand, first using his body to block the pistol bullet fired by Bucky,
Then he slammed a diagonal upper-hook into the jaw of the fourth clown, causing his vestibular organs to concuss, unable to maintain his balance, and watching him fall towards the ditch.
There's Bucky the Clown left.
