Chapter 21: Bane strikes
Burst!
Bane withdrew his large hand, stained with brain and blood, as gently as if he had crushed a soak of horse urine.
He shook the white slime off his hand in disgust, and let the blood-spurting headless corpse collapse to the floor: "Garbage in the gutter." You're stupid enough to try to spy on me. ”
He kicked the corpse into the corner: "What's even more stupid is that I haven't escaped immediately after I found out." ”
"We're sorry, Bane! This guy is an undead zombie, and we obviously sneak up and pierce ......"
"Ah, no more, my friends."
Bane ignored his panting men, and he quickly left the clawed assassins of the Owl Court behind. He relaxed his muscles, his broad chest rising and falling with his deep breaths.
"Take it easy. Feel it with me. ”
Three of Bane's men looked at each other. They felt nothing but the thick smell of blood from the corpses.
"Feel what? Bain? ”
"Look into the street...... What do you see? ”
"It's empty," the caveman and zombie man replied, one after the other, "lifeless." ”
"A city accustomed to its own horrors has tasted fear." Birdman said.
"Yes, that's right, it's Bane's power, you made them feel terrified."
"They're going to mobilize troops against you, but they simply don't understand what they're facing."
They cautiously flattered: "They are only worthy to tremble at your feet." ”
My master.
The men didn't speak, they thought silently in their hearts.
"Nope."
But Bane's answer surprised the two.
"That's not it!" Bane suddenly snarled under his breath, "You didn't feel it at all. ”
"Batman has been hanging over the city for too long. Gotham City was once the largest drug production and trade center in the United States! The largest population trading market! The most prosperous gambling city! ”
He opened his hands, as if embracing darkness that was invisible to the naked eye.
"Gotham is a paradise for criminals! For so many years, the U.S. government has crammed criminals from all over the country into Black Gate Prison.
They are then quickly released on bail, released on medical parole, escaped from prison, and then transformed into citizens of Gotham.
The so-called Gotham was a super prison from the beginning, and they wanted all the scum to kill each other until someone came out to stop them from continuing to use Gotham as a garbage can! ”
He laughed sarcastically: "Before the birth of Batman, the security of the whole United States was ten times better than now!" ”
"You say Gotham is afraid of me? Joke. ”
Gotham is not only not afraid, she is excited! How vicious, she was excited! ”
"Finally someone is going to defeat the bats, finally someone is going to kill the bats, those scumbags, gangsters, villains, can finally return to their old unrestrained criminal life."
"The silence on the street is not because of fear at all, but because of anticipation! They rejoiced and looked forward to it, everyone hated Batman, they wanted Batman dead! The scum hates bats, and the powerful hate bats, even the old women who work in the white powder factory hate bats,"
"Batman trying to save Gotham? Stop shitting, Gotham doesn't want to be saved at all, this bitch just wants to fall forever! ”
Bane felt it, he could feel it.
Gotham was like a cruel mother, egging him on in his ear to murder her only son, the bruised fighter.
This vicious bitch, scratching her head in front of him, striking a queenly haughty posture, demanded that he pass the dirty trials of those ignorant fools, prove to her that he was great and powerful, and then ......
Go and take off the laurel that has never been touched-
Murder of Batman!!
That's a ......
It's an honor.
He sat back on the couch, leaning forward unconsciously in a movement that made his body slump slightly. But instead of detracting from his majesty, it seemed that he was ready to attack like a beast.
"You three, get out of this building as soon as possible. Surrender directly to the army, and I'll come back to you later. You're here, and I can't let go of my hands and feet. ”
Bane's voice was low, but unexpectedly high-pitched, like lava roaring underground.
The light shone across the curtain and on his bulging biceps, making him look like a real iron man.
Three of his men left in a hurry, and they had no doubt or dare to question Bane's decision.
Bane sat on his couch, staring up, waiting quietly.
The long street is dead and silent, and it is deserted.
……
……
……
"Zizizi...... The M1A2 Abrams main battle tank and the M2A3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle are ready to go......"
"Roger."
"The M109A6 self-propelled howitzer and the M777 howitzer are already in place."
"Roger."
Somewhere in Gotham, this is the National Guard Field Command Center.
Mayor Carlo turned his head to look at Jim Gordon, who looked sullen beside him: "Hey, Jim, don't keep looking like you're strained, you won't really take me for a fool." What does that mean? ”
"Strategically contempt the enemy, tactically value the enemy."
"We dispatched close to 40,000 National Guards, tanks, machine guns, heavy machine guns, armed combat vehicles, and even semi-automatic missiles."
Mayor Carlo couldn't help but complain.
"Such a military configuration is enough to capture a small country in Africa, Gordon, you have been working as a police officer in Gotham City, have you really forgotten how terrifying modern weapons are?"
"It's not that we haven't seen those so-called strange people, but in the face of real modern force, everything is rubbish."
Mayor Carlo said proudly: "This is thanks to the exact location provided by Gordon, according to me, as long as we move all the surrounding residents, then we can directly wash the ground, not to mention Bane, even if it is made of iron, it will melt into water, and there is no need to work Batman's driver." ”
"So that's why you're so disparaging about Batman on TV?"
"Oh, come on, Gordon!" Mayor Caro hooked Gordon's neck with a familiar hand: "That's just a means to attract Bane, isn't it the TV signal you personally tuned to make sure that Bane will definitely be able to attract attention by the TV show?" ”
"It's also a means of attracting voters, the strongest way to show everyone that you have a tough image." Gordon pushed his hooked arm away and pierced Mayor Carlo's words mercilessly.
"Well, people need some spiritual sustenance. But Gordon, do you really think it's a sane choice for people to put all their hopes on a masked vigilante? ”
Carlo lay back in his chair without paying attention.
"No matter how strong Batman is, he is just one person, I don't deny his exploits to Gotham over the years, and I don't have any ill feelings towards him at all, but you have to know that in the face of the violent machine of the state, the power of the individual is small, and human beings are essentially collective creatures."
Mayor Carlo spread his hands and made a virtual grasp in the air.
"There are many people, but there is great power."
"People should regain confidence in the government and not put their hopes in individual heroes," he said. Don't you think the current enthusiasm for Batman is a dangerous sign? They don't trust the police, they only believe in Batman. ”
"No matter how much we smear Batman on TV, we have to admit that Batman's influence among the public has gone beyond the normal scope."
"Remember Harvey Dent from the past? Dent Act, hahaha, famous, ha! Then Dent went bad, and the bill ended. ”
Mayor Carlo said: "Only a stable organization like the government can ensure the stability of the city in the long term. Even if I die today, this scorching machine will continue to function normally. ”
"The government's prestige must be re-established, starting with the arrest of all these supercriminals today."
