Chapter 466: Midway City
Chapter 466: Midway City
Midway, first founded in 1618, was founded by a French explorer who came here as a small fur trading post, but the trading post soon expanded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Named Brulè's Landing in 1620, it became a city in the 19th century and was officially named Midway on the eve of the 20th century.
It is very prosperous, economic, sports, humanities and education in the United States is considered to be in the upper middle, in addition, it also has the largest underwater tunnel in the whole of the United States, and the very famous Midway City Museum.
At the same time, Midway City is also a city that many superhero teams or supercriminal teams prefer to use as a base.
It's not as good as Gotham City, but in the United States, Midway is a good city.
It's just that Midway City is very desolate today, and there is no trace of prosperity in sight.
The streets of the city were empty, and it was clear from the items scattered on the roads and the appliances that the surrounding buildings had not had time to turn off, that everyone left in a hurry.
All this came from an accident, no one thought that at noon, the sky of Midway City was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, lightning and thunder in the sky, thick lightning bolts straight into the sky, seven or eight huge gears that couldn't tell what kind of material they were making, just floating in the sky and turning.
This caused panic among most of the people of Midway, and considering the tragedy in Gotham City a few months ago, this vision instantly alerted the residents of Midway.
So in less than half a day, this originally prosperous city instantly became an empty ghost town, as for those who were not alert? Or is it a fluke? They're either dead or monsters now.
In this chaotic world, if you don't have enough strength to resist the fate of this fucking thing, then you'd better recognize your own situation, otherwise even if you die, you can't blame others, Superman, a once-in-a-century good person, is dead, who else can you rely on?
As for Tony? It's true that he's Iron Man, but Tony isn't ready to be a superhero right now, and even if Tony becomes Iron Man, he won't necessarily care about these things.
Therefore, the sane people left Midway early, and only those fools who couldn't see the situation clearly and thought they were smart are still staying in Midway.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no smart people in this city, in the interior of a high-rise building near the city center, there is a smart woman, her name is Amanda, she is a rather ruthless and selfish woman, she is from the Tianyan Society, and she is also the administrator of a prison.
Now, of course, her main goal is to assemble a team of all-supernatural abilities, Task Force X.
It's just that this plan ran into a big problem at the beginning.
In this superpower team, there is an ability called the witch who has high hopes for himself, who is Amanda's most valued hole card, and also a member with the most complete security measures, not only Colonel Fleg, who graduated from the West Point Military Academy, is guarded 24 hours a day, but also has the heart in his hands that can decide the life and death of a witch, compared to other team members who put a nano bomb in their necks and did things hastily, the security measures of witches are much more advanced.
It's just that the accident still happened, Amanda never thought that the witch was not a person, this old woman who had lived for thousands of years, and had a brother who was as terrible as her!
On the eve of the formation of Task Force X, the witch secretly freed her brother, causing an accident that enveloped Midway, and the witch finally escaped from her control with her brother's help.
Although he later pierced the witch's heart, this method did not seem to work.
Amanda was also very helpless, she didn't have time to make too many layouts, because the witch and her younger brother, the strength of the two people was too terrifying, and in less than half a day, the entire Midway City had been occupied by their sister and brother.
Amanda didn't want to leave here quickly, but as her headquarters, there are a lot of materials that need to be destroyed, and the destruction of these materials requires a certain amount of authority and the most important confidentiality, that is, when these materials are destroyed, she must be ready to kill people, so Amanda has to wait here.
It's just that what Amanda didn't expect was that the witch would rule Midway City much faster than she thought.
After destroying the materials and killing everyone, it is already quite dangerous to escape Midway.
This forced Amanda to activate a backup plan to serve as temporary members of Task Force X with a group of supervillains who should all have been shot.
Amanda doesn't want to start her own backup plan because none of these criminals are under her control, or the only thing she can control them is their lives, but for these super criminals, Amanda is well aware that the threat of death is not that effective.
But Amanda can't help it, because there is a very important person in Midway who must be rescued, and even if the entire Midway City falls, this person trapped in Midway must be rescued no matter what.
Of course, Amanda didn't tell the members of Task Force X that this very important person was actually herself.
It's not that Amanda doesn't want to say it, it's that Amanda can't say it.
Do you want to tell these people yourself that you people desperately came to Midway City, risking your life, in order to save me, the one who holds your life and death in your hands?
Don't make a fuss?
These guys are all super criminals, all of them are monkey spirits, otherwise how could they commit a super big crime? If they knew, the person who would have been saved in the end by this adventure would have been themselves.
So from their point of view, it is better to let yourself fall with Midway City than to save yourself, a person who can control their life and death.
After all, no one wants their lives to be in the hands of others.
And Amanda believes that these bastards can definitely make it.
Because whether it was the first meeting at the beginning, or the later entry of these supercriminals into Task Force X, the methods they used were not very glorious.
These supercriminals are either Batman, or Flash, or other superheroes caught, from a psychological point of view, these days are not afraid of the unafraid of the mess, from the bottom of their hearts they don't look down on themselves as a prison warden.
The reason why they will be put in prison is not because of how strong Amanda's power is, but because they are unlucky enough to meet someone they can't beat.
This is a typical face of convincing.
And later, in order to polish the temper of these super criminals, he made these guys suffer.
In the end, in order to use these guys, he came up with a lot of disgusting things to threaten these people, such as the reason why Death Shooter agreed to join this team that is no different from suicide is because he threatened him with his daughter.
Speaking of which, you may not believe it, if the Death Shooter did not agree to join this team, he would definitely use his daughter to threaten Death Shoot every minute, and Death Shooter should also know that he would definitely do this kind of cold-blooded thing, so he would agree to his request.
But even so, at the moment before these guys went on a mission, Amanda ordered a nano bomb to be installed in the body of each of them.
For these super criminals, Amanda has to be guarded against, especially with the experience of witches, Amanda will not be careless.
As for why this group of Task Force X, which is made up entirely of super criminals, their first mission is not to kill the witch and ultimately save the fallen Midway?
But to risk her life to save such an old woman as herself?
Although Amanda didn't want to admit it, and Amanda felt that it was more ruthless to say this, Amanda had to say: "Compared to this halfway city that doesn't exist, I'm worth more." ”
Amanda is a very rational, or indifferent person, in Amanda's eyes, everyone has everyone's value, the difference is only in the size of the value.
Compared with the entire Midway City, including the witch and the witch's younger brother, as well as those grassroots people who are controlled by witches, his value is obviously greater.
Do witches die? To fall or not to fall in Midway? It has nothing to do with me! Although everything was caused by her own carelessness and imprudentness that caused the witch to get out of control, but now that the witch has lost control, and most of the city has fallen, the sky has fallen and there is a tall man on top, so there is no need to take an Amanda to accompany the funeral.
As for letting these super-criminals of Task Force X risk their lives to save themselves?
Although Amanda also admits that the value of these super criminals is very large, in Amanda's opinion, these super criminals deserve to die, and since they deserve to die, their own value is greatly reduced.
Now that they can trade their risk for their own safety, this transaction can be described as a sure profit.
That's right, in Amanda's opinion, his own value is very great, and for the whole of America, his value is immeasurable, so he can't die, as for those grassroots people, and super criminals, or the entire Midway? If it's gone, it's gone, and anyway, the value of these things is not as big as its own!
It's just that Amanda ignores a problem, that is, there is a very special existence in Task Force X, and many people underestimate this person, especially Amanda, she is the Clown Queen - Hallie!
Hallie is scary not because of Hallie herself, but because Hallie's boyfriend is a clown!
Jokers are scary, and if there is a list of the most feared supercriminals in the world, the Joker is definitely at the top of the list.
The power of the clown is not strong, and there are not a few people in the United States who can fight better than the clown, so to speak, you can pick any one from the super criminals, and no matter how bad it is, you can tie with the clown.
But if you talk about madness, if you talk about criminal intelligence, if you talk about the understanding and torture of human nature!
The evil of the clown is definitely beyond everyone's imagination, and many people would rather face enemies that are countless times stronger than the clown, rather than face the clown, because the clown can always find your human weakness from a tricky angle, and then just like the big devil, through the loopholes of this point, grasp the most vulnerable point of your human nature, and then torture your soul little by little.
What normal criminals think about in their minds is crime, and they only have the benefits of crime in their minds, and they are completely careless about the end of the crime.
Good criminals, they are planned and regulated crimes, although they can also be impulsive, but at least they have a plan. When the Joker robbed the Gotham City bank, the subordinates he found were criminals of this level.
Serious crimes, not only planned, but also carefully considered all the circumstances, this kind of criminals are very terrible, because even if they commit crimes, you don't know, even if you know, there is nothing you can do with them. For example, in Iron Man III, Jillian, who has a desperate virus, he is a pretty powerful criminal.
The most terrible criminal is the clown, whose goal is not for the benefit of sinning, but for the pleasure of sinning, and committing crimes purely for the sake of sinning. And the clown is the absolute best among criminals of this level.
Why did the Righteous Knights of Gotham City end up being Two-Face? Not because he has a point of light that the Joker sees, but because the other party has something that Batman believes in!
Batman created the Justice Knight and made the Justice Knight the faith of Gotham City's Justice, but the Joker twisted the Justice Knight and turned him into an evil criminal two-face!
How hard does this hit Gotham City? The Joker doesn't care, but how big the blow to Batman is, that's what the Joker cares about.
Although Batman finally used the excuse that he killed the Justice Knight to redeem the faith of justice in Gotham City, his image as Batman completely collapsed.
In that duel between Batman and the Joker, although in the end the Joker was sent to the insane asylum, it seemed that Batman won, but if you think about it carefully, it was actually a miserable victory, and if you think about it carefully, you will find that in fact, Batman lost.
This shows how much you will bear in the face of a terrible madman like the Joker.
is as witty as Batman, but in the end he had to fail miserably, from beginning to end, he was played by the Joker, and in the end the Joker was caught, and Batman was still tripped by the Joker.
Normal people can only see one step, and the sky can only see three steps, but the clown can see all of them.
In addition, the clown also has a very terrible characteristic, that is, the clown is invincible, and this invincibility is not material invincibility, but spiritual invincibility.
The Joker is the only one Amanda has seen in all the people she has met over the years, a guy who is more extreme than herself, the Joker's spirit has no weakness, he doesn't like money, he doesn't like power, he has no friends, and he has no relatives, and his only known preference is to play with Batman, or crime!
This is a very terrible existence, which makes Amanda deeply jealous, Amanda wants to kill the Joker countless times, because the Joker is too dangerous, but in the end she gives up, because Amanda doesn't dare!
As for Hallie? Although everyone calls Harley the Queen of the Joker, in Amanda's view, Harley is just a substitute, a toy to replace Batman's polishing time.
Otherwise, why didn't the Joker come to Harley's rescue after being in jail for so long?
If the clown really cared about Harley, the clown queen, according to the clown's IQ and ability, she would have come to rob the prison a long time ago, so why wait until now?
But Amanda forgets that there is a kind of person in the world who is slow to respond to feelings, and this kind of person has never been lost, and he will never know to cherish it.
Clowns are of this type.
When Harley just left the Joker, the Joker felt refreshed, felt that his surroundings were finally quiet, and that he was redeemed.
But after a while, the clown starts to get irritable, as if something is missing in his life, and the clown doesn't know what he's missing! So the clown is irritable.
In the end, when the clown was lying in the dagger alone, feeling the dead silence and coldness around him, and his heartbeat could be heard in the air, the clown finally understood what he was missing.
The king's side cannot be without the queen!
Amanda doesn't understand this, because in Amanda's opinion, the Joker is invincible, and invincible doesn't need to have feelings, because these feelings will eventually become a burden.
So she doesn't care about Hallie, in Amanda's opinion, Harley is just a crazy woman.
But Amanda didn't think that it was because of her faith that the witch would escape from his grasp, and the next moment it would be Harley.
Midway, after surviving three waves of monster attacks, Harry's Task Force X finally came to their target this time, a building with the only city center, and it is said that the target of their mission this time is in this building.
Everyone is curious, how many heavyweights will let so many soldiers and super criminals make a move?
But Harley didn't, Harley at the moment, all she was thinking about was her Hani.
According to the news that Harley gets, the Joker is coming to save her!
Although for Hallie, even if she gives Hallie some time without the help of the Joker, she can happily escape from here, but the Joker comes to save her, this meaning is different, for this crazy woman who fell in love, the message that the Joker sent her excites her.
However, to the consternation of Hallie and the surrounding members of Task Force X, as the leader of their team, Amanda's lackey, the unpleasant Colonel Fleg, came out of the secret room, a person who surprised everyone appeared in front of everyone's sight.
This person is Amanda, who controls everyone's life and death!
A strange atmosphere spread through the ranks.
Looking at the instantaneous changes in the eyes of these guys around her, Amanda sighed in her heart, things are the same as she thinks, the country is easy to change and difficult to change, criminals are criminals, these super criminals really have a strange heart after seeing themselves, Amanda is very glad that she didn't tell these guys before, this time the goal is herself, otherwise the ghost knows what will happen halfway, but now?
A sneer appeared on Amanda's face.
Since he dares to appear in front of everyone's eyes, he is sure that he can let these super criminals honestly obey his command!
This is Amanda's confidence!
