"I was amazed that the new generation of the city, far from being as chaotic and vicious as they might seem, had a calm, far-sighted heart beneath their pretended ferocious exteriors, and that would be the future of Gotham."

"I was shocked by what they did, and it all started with the storm that night......

The tip of the pen was raised, and Bruce gently stroked the side of the pen with his fingers, and he looked up at the heavy rain outside the wooden curtains, the raindrops lapping against the glass, leaving dense droplets of water.

The water droplets slid downwards and disappeared to the bottom of the windowsill, while on the table, in the dim light of the lamp, saw the teeth of a page of the calendar torn off, on which the date numbers were circled, and a few words were written: "Two days to be handed in."

Catching a glimpse of this date, Bruce looked at the progress of the article in his hand, and he knew that he should speed up,

The rain outside the window reminded him of the day when the storm came when he was in the middle of the children's gang when the exam had just begun.

The heavy rain in Gotham not only brought a good night's sleep to the residents of the wealthy area, but also brought an unwarranted disaster to the children struggling in the streets and alleys.

The house leak coincides with the overnight rain, this sentence is not just a common saying, the rain leakage in the residence is a very terrible thing for children, because everyone knows that the cold is the most terrible terminal disease, and the fever is the notice of death.

Therefore, after discovering that the originally safe base was leaking, the first thing that hit here was panic.

"Don't do that! Don't bark! Bruce shouted, "Calm down, as long as we fix the leaks during the day, there will be no water at night!" ”

"You know, outsiders, we have to drain the rainwater out of the outside first, and we'll go out and find the water pipes first......"

"No, we need to go upstairs first and let them check their drainage, the problem must be with them!"

"But if the water on the street doesn't drain out, it will still leak if it rains tonight, and we should go to the adults......"

"But the gangsters won't listen to us, they will only give priority to draining the water at the gate, they won't take care of us, we have to figure it out ourselves!"

"I also promised someone to send something today, I have to hurry over!"

"You can't go, don't you want our home?"

"But if we don't make money, are we all going to go hungry?"

The room was filled with a jumble of conversations, some children were proposing solutions, some were refuting solutions, some were going out, some were holding back, the younger children were terrified, the older children were comforting them, the whole scene was a mess, and Bruce didn't know where to start for a while.

He wanted to reason with these children, but no one listened to him and wanted to propose a solution, but many people thought that he didn't understand anything, and he wanted to soothe their emotions, but Batman really didn't comfort people.

Bruce knew very well that if he couldn't get the water out of the house and fix the leaks when the temperature was at its highest, it would be harder to do the job once the night fell and the temperature became colder.

These healthy children may have a cold and fever, and Jason, who is already injured, may die if he catches a cold again.

Bruce took a deep breath and looked around, then he found a tin bucket, picked up a stick from the side, and knocked on the bucket vigorously.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!! ”

A few loud noises with concussions rang out, and all the children looked at him, and Bruce let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm an adult, and you're children, all listen to me!" ”

There was another whisper from below, and Bruce had to take the stick, point it at the child, and say, "If you have any opinions, come and ......."

Looking at the stick in his hand, the child muttered and cursed in a low voice, but still did not say anything more.

The anxiety in Bruce's heart urged him to solve this matter quickly, so he didn't pay much attention to the wording, and he was very straightforward, he said: "Now, everyone is divided into three groups, which are the ground group, the indoor group, and the normal life group......

"The ground group is made up of older kids, who go to the ground to check the drains and communicate with the gangsters, you, you...... And you, you guys look stronger, and you're in the ground group......"

"The people in the indoor group took buckets, scooped out the water that had leaked out of the house, and then patched up the leaks......"

"All those who have work to do today are assigned to the normal life group to earn money and buy food......

"Alright, now, let's get to work!"

Bruce slammed the bucket twice harder, all the boys, look at me, I look at you.

They also know that Jason is injured and needs to rest, in case he doesn't care well, the consequences will be more serious, since he let this weirdo temporarily lead the gang, it means that he is still trustworthy, in that case, let's work.

Finally, getting everyone moving, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, but within two minutes, the problem arose.

The indoor children came back to report that there were no buckets, and Bruce noticed that there were plastic gasoline cans in the warehouse room next to them, so he asked them to use them instead of buckets.

However, the opening of the plastic oil drum was too small to fill with water, so Bruce wanted to cut it open, so that the upper and lower halves became two containers with larger openings.

But the problem is that there are no tools to cut it, the dagger in the warehouse is okay to stab people, there is no cutting ability, but the quality of these gas and oil drums picked up is not bad, and it can't be cut for half a day.

Eventually, Bruce finds a rusty axe and splits the gasoline canister open, thus solving the container problem.

After a while, the ground team came back again, saying that the gangsters really only cared about their gates, completely ignoring the inside of the street, the drainage facilities were overloaded, and the water could not be drained at all, and it was useless to count on dredging.

In this case, the only way to do this is to seal up every possible leak in the basement and turn it into a can to keep out the rainwater.

However, the sealing material became a problem again, the paper shell and wooden board could not be sealed well, and the cracks and steps of the door were full of leaking water.

Bruce didn't dare to go away to get the material, after all, although these children were strong on the surface, they must be worried inside, Jason was injured, he was gone, and these children would definitely be in chaos like headless flies.

Bruce stepped forward and checked the door of the basement and found that there was no sealing condition here at all, and there were two corners of the basement leaking.

Bruce thought about it for a moment and made the wisest choice, saying, "Get out of here and go out and find somewhere else to escape." ”

"No way!" The six-fingered eldest sister raised an objection first, she said: "This is our home, and we can't give up here." ”

"It's not that I'm giving up here." Bruce said calmly: "It's just that I encountered some unexpected disasters, and I need to find a place on higher ground to take refuge, and after staying for a night, I will come back." ”

"But......" The six-fingered eldest sister still frowned and said, "Is there any place here that is a little higher?" Even if there were, it must have been taken over by other gangsters, and we can't rob those big gangsters.

After speaking, she looked around, and after the children who could go out to work left, the remaining children here were all thin and young, not to mention grabbing land, even scolding the street, and they couldn't be counted on.

"When I came here before, I saw a wasteland in the back street, the terrain is high, there is a hillside, it can be drained, and it should be safe from danger......" Bruce muttered for a moment, and said, "The soil under Gotham is very suitable for water, and if you can set up a temporary camp there, you should be able to survive tonight." ”

"Oh!" The six-fingered eldest sister suddenly exclaimed, and said, "That's right, you can go there, and we have a natural camp!" ”

Everyone looked at him, and the six-fingered eldest sister said, "Do you remember the truck we got back earlier?" Just park around there, and as long as we put a roof on the carriage, we can get together there for the night and come back tomorrow during the day to clean up. ”

Bruce's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You got a truck, do you have an engine?" ”

"Yes, but it's broken, it's not repaired yet, and the car is very badly broken, we asked the little slipper head to come before, he repaired it for a long time, and it wasn't completely repaired, I'm afraid it's hard to drive out......"

Bruce nodded and said, "Okay, now the priority is to find a place to stay, I'll go to the truck first, if you can, you can find a few people to carry Jason, and we'll move there first." ”

A few of the older children nodded, and Bruce was the first to walk out of the cellar door, although he didn't bring any equipment this time, but he did wear a more practical outfit, the boots were absolutely waterproof and very warm, and the jacket could also be used as a raincoat.

It was still drizzling outside, and as the kids had said, the streets were full of water, and Bruce felt a little chill on his feet as he walked through the puddles in his boots.

Bruce looked into the distance, and in the distance he could see some gang members cleaning up the intersection, but they didn't care about it, after all, the avenue they were on had more potholes, more water, and the building they were in was relatively old, and many places were cold and wet, and they had to be busy blocking it.

Bruce didn't see the other kids, but he did see a basement top window where a small hand with half a water bottle was sticking out, scooping water out.

It seems that most of the children's gang are in a similar situation, after all, everyone's base is underground, and this is an old residential area, and water leakage is inevitable.

Bruce walked around to the back of the building, saw the wasteland, saw the truck, and then he noticed that the truck was a little familiar.

Isn't this the one he abandoned before???

"When I saw that truck, I was very surprised, before, I never believed in fate and chance, but some things are indeed such a coincidence, that failed truck driver career left me the only precious relic, which became my Noah's Ark across the flood of destruction......"

In the manor's study, Bruce moved his somewhat stiff neck for a moment, and then continued to write:

"During this time in my life, I was surprised to find that my emotions became more positive, and I even felt pleasantly surprised to find a broken truck."

"At first, I didn't know if it was a good thing, but I heard the cheers of the children and they were really happy......

"And this rainy night adventure has just begun......"
