Chapter 479: Arkham Emerges in Abundance! (Medium)
"Crazy! Lose your marbles! How come there are all crazy people in this city?! ”
Clutching her injured shoulder, Carol and the Green Lantern weave their way between Gotham's high-rise buildings, using the green light's energy to fly low.
And the reason why they do not fly high is because there are Batfighters patrolling the sky full of missiles.
Huge high-rise buildings are lined up, green points of light fly past like fireflies, and the huge screen on the wall of the high-rise buildings is full of color, and when the green light dots are crossed, a smiling face painted in a clown costume on the screen says to the camera:
"Here's the late night weather forecast brought to you by Jack the Clown, it's sunny today, there may be heavy snow at night, and a magical creature called Green Lantern will appear in the sky......"
"Okay, that's all for today's weather forecast, because Jack, as the host, is getting off work...... What? You ask me what I'm going to do after work? Of course, I took this opportunity to drive well! ”
"After all, today is going to be the most green night in Gotham, hahahahahaha!
”
"Boom!"
After flying across the screen, Hal dodged a rocket, and when he turned back, the huge screen had been blown up in sparks.
He picked up his speed and came to stand shoulder to shoulder with the leader Carol, and said, "This can't go on like this, we will be beaten down sooner or later!" ”
"What the hell is going on in this city? Why so many madmen?! Carol was puzzled, he looked down and saw that the ground was full of gangsters chasing them, each armed with an armed truck full of various weapons, chasing them at this time.
The ring can indeed help the Lantern Man resist bullets and explosions, but it also requires energy, and flying and dodging also require energy, once the energy is exhausted, Carol can't imagine what the consequences will be if he falls into the hands of this group of madmen.
"Aren't you here for a while, Hal? Is there a safer place for us to trim up? ”
Carol glanced at the Green Lanterns, who were already a little unable to fly, and asked Hal.
Originally, most of the members of the second squad were novices, and although they had been trained, they rarely participated in high-intensity missions, and the experience in Gotham could no longer be said to be high-intensity, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to start with hell.
Green light energy is just a tool, there is no self-awareness, and there is no way to control the actions of the lantern man, all the actions of the lantern man are thought by themselves, and then controlled by the limbs, that is, although they can fly, but how to fly, they need to think by themselves, and what actions to make, they also need to adjust their limbs.
Now, the density of Gotham's firepower network forced them to concentrate their attention at all times to deal with stray bullets and explosive fragments coming from all directions.
The average of one difficult air maneuver every three seconds made Hal, who used to be a test pilot, a little unbearable, let alone those novice Green Lantern who had no experience in aerial work.
With a "boom", it was another explosion of a fighter missile, and the young Green Lantern who landed at the end of the team was directly blown away.
His reaction was a little slower, and he didn't dodge the aftermath of the impact, and his teammates next to him just tried to fly over to save him, but they were also shaken by the flashbang, and then they were beaten down.
Hal and Carol, the two Green Lantern with the best flying skills, hurriedly turned back to the rescue, and it took a lot of effort to get the two people back.
Hal used his green light energy to connect with the exhausted Green Lantern, flew with him, and then said to Carol, "There are almost no safe places in this city, let's get out of here first." ”
Hal glanced up at the three Batfighters flying in a loop in the sky, and said, "Somebody has to lure them away, I'll go." ”
Looking at his resolute look, Carol couldn't help but be a little moved, and he said, "Even though I've been in the Green Lantern Legion for so long, you're the best newcomer I've ever seen. ”
Hal turned to look at him and said, "For justice." ”
Just as Carol was about to leave with the other Green Lanterns, Hal stopped them again, saying, "The city's troubles have not been resolved, you better move to other cities on Earth and wait for the support of headquarters." ”
"I'm afraid we'll have to do that too, because the ring's remaining energy isn't enough for us to teleport directly back to headquarters, you're a local, do you know where it's safer?"
Hal thought for a moment, then pointed them in the right direction, Carol nodded, and then said:
"Once we've found a safe place, call for backup, and then we'll be back to meet you right away."
Hal saluted him, then turned his head and flew away, and the other Green Lantern looked at his back as he left, their hearts full of solemn emotion.
In their opinion, it takes a lot of courage to stay even a second longer in this chaotic and crazy dangerous city, and Hal is clearly the lone brave who knows the difficulty.
Hal flew near a Bat fighter, and he didn't know what he said to the people in the fighter, but the fighter chased him away, and then the remaining two fighters were also lured away by him, and the Green Lantern took the opportunity to fly away from Gotham City.
"The Evil God"
It wasn't until they were far away that Hal stopped, and he vanished instantly, then appeared in the passenger seat of the Batfighter, and Batman turned his head and squinted at him.
Hal also turned his head to look at Batman, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think you should know who to go to." ”
Batman turned his head back and pressed the button on the control panel, and the navigation voice made a pleasant sound: "Navigation, destination...... Rodriguez Manor. ”
By the time Batman stepped into the Rodriguez manor, Schiller and Constantine were already sitting on the couch drinking.
The glass crashes against the surface of the coffee table with a crisp sound, and the golden liquor falls into the glass, splashing with brilliant water.
Batman raised his glass expressionlessly, but he didn't drink, and Hal, who was sitting next to him, poured the whiskey into his mouth without hesitation.
The cold liquor cleared his brain a lot, and also relieved the fatigue of the flight just now, Schiller opened his mouth to speak, Batman said: "You don't need to explain to me why you want to deal with Green Lantern, in this regard, I am in the same position as you." ”
Schiller took a sip of wine, then stroked his chest with his hand, raised his glass at Batman and said, "That's why I like to talk to smart people, let's skip those unimportant big truths and excuses, this has to start from the last time Konstantin called me and said that he was going to be hospitalized in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital......"
Konstantin took a long sip of his glass, then picked up the bottle and filled his own glass again.
He leaned on the back of the sofa relaxedly, put his hands on the back of the chair, shook his head and said: "No way, my personal charm is too strong, a little boy named Bruce chased me all over the city, he was not satisfied that I went to the red light district, so he made a big fuss there, even if I went to relax for a while, he would stick to me......"
Hal squirted out a sip of wine, and Konstantin caught a glimpse of the sharp light of the batrang in Batman's hand, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, no kidding, originally, I called Schiller, just to find a place to hide." ”
"But this damned miser, the abominable Grandet, will let me be admitted to the hospital unless I do something for him."
"So, you provoked the gangsters in the hospital?" Batman asked.
"According to the original plan, I really did it, but I didn't expect that there were two guys in the hospital who were about to make a mess, and then take the opportunity to get out, so I simply planned and expanded the chaos a little."
"What's the green light on?" Batman looks at Schiller again, but Schiller turns to look at Hal, who shrugs his shoulders and explains to Batman how he went to O'Astar to ask for backup.
"You started the gangsters and let the Green Lanterns fall right in the middle of the chaos, in order to make the Green Lanterns aware of the danger of the Earth?"
"But I'm afraid, this will not be enough to deter them, nor will it keep them away from the earth, but may make this group of green flies brainwashed by a sense of justice buzz around the earth." Batman gave an evaluation.
It can be heard from his wording that Batman has no good feelings for the Green Lantern Corps, but it is understandable that he is the only Gotham native among the four people present, and just now, this group of guys with green light swaggered around Gotham, which not only caused many car accidents, but also caused the gangsters to blow up many buildings.
What's more, Batman has always regarded Gotham as his own territory, and he has an almost perverted desire to control Gotham, and this group of people broke into here without anyone's consent, if it weren't for Hal just now to stop Batman from driving a fighter plane to catch up, Carol and they haven't run out yet.
"I didn't mean to deter them." Schiller put his glass down.
"So what are you going to do? This series of actions of yours will only make them target the Earth and draw them all over. ”
"My purpose is to lure them in."
As soon as Schiller finished saying this, he heard the phone ring, Merkel walked down the stairs, picked up the telephone receiver and said: "Hey, hello, this is the Rodriguez estate, yes, he is ......"
With that, he took the phone to the coffee table and handed the receiver to Schiller, who said, "Oh, yes? Are you already on your way? …… Okay, I'll wait for you. ”
Batman stared at Schiller, as if he had a premonition, and at this time, he heard Schiller say to the other end of the phone:
"See you later, then, Clark."
