Chapter 88: The Clown Appears (Seeking to Follow-up)
Chen Tao's heart was pounding, and the development of things was still in his expectation for the time being.
"Batman, we're trying to track the Joker's signals."
Tim's voice sounded from Chen Tao's headphones: "A little more delay, and we will find him in no time...... Find the location of that nuclear bomb! β
"Even if the Joker is not with the nuclear bomb, as long as there are any remote-controlled nuclear bomb explosion devices around him, we can find the exact location of the nuclear bomb through him...... So we just need to delay a little longer! β
"You're not going to nuke Gotham."
ιι¬ says:
"You only want to conquer the city, not destroy it. What does a pile of broken bricks and tiles do to you? β
This is nonsense.
The reason why nuclear blackmail can be called blackmail is that it must have a specific target.
Even if it's not Gotham City, it can be another city, and all Bane needs is a chip, and it doesn't matter which city it is.
Bane knew that Batman's mind wouldn't fail to think of this, and he knew that the other party wanted to stall for time, but he didn't seem to care.
"Hello big bat, can you hear me? Roar~ Hey, hey, shouldn't it be me who is holding the big fireworks now? β
The clown yelled across the communicator: "I'm angry, I'm going to launch a big firework!" β
"Be quiet." Bane said to him.
So the clown was so obedient and quiet. He froze right there, exactly like the video pressed pause.
"So I never thought about blowing up Gotham." He heard Bane say, "The nuclear bomb was supposed to target the Met. β
Hell, what's going on with the metropolis?
Chen Tao's heart sank.
He had sent Alfred to try to find Clark Kent in the Metropolis, but he couldn't find this person yet-
Due to the huge population flow in the metropolis, it is not possible to find a foreigner Clark Kent in the tens of millions of non-stop floating population.
But if Jimmy had already started working as a photographer under Louis Lane, and Clark Kent hadn't joined Planet Daily at the time, it would be very likely that our Kansas boy was still in a period when he had just left his small-town farm and just arrived in a big city and was busy looking for a job.
Is Superman in this period really capable of protecting tens of millions of people under a nuclear bomb?
If he misses, will he, who has witnessed such a tragedy, let the world develop directly in the direction of "Injustice" and "Lords of Justice"?
(Note: One of the supermen in these two parallel universes is a tyrant and the other is a dictator.) οΌ
He also hoped that when everything was over, he would retire as he had promised Alfred and find Superman to replace him......
He had thought that even if he wanted to attack Bane, he would prioritize attacking several cities around Gotham...... Forget it, anyway, as long as the nuclear bomb flies out of Gotham, it will be a river of blood, or it should be said that the blood is steamed dry, and tens of millions of people will die. Whatever the outcome was, it was not something he could accept.
So he also has enough backhands ready. Like a real Batman, he kept multiple backup plans.
"Bruce, we're still looking, we're locating, we'll find ...... soon"
Robin's voice in the headphones kept coming: "Wait a little longer......"
"If you're going to blow up the Metropolis with a nuclear bomb, then the Met will be blown up."
Chen Tao tried hard to talk nonsense.
ββ¦β¦β
Bane didn't know what to say for a moment. He just wanted to say something threatening, and then his train of thought was suddenly interrupted by Chen Tao's nonsense literature.
He shook his head, as if to shake his brain, and then reorganized the language for a moment:
"It doesn't mean anything to me to blow up the Metropolis, and it wasn't my intention to destroy tens of millions of innocent lives."
"If life is destroyed, then life dies."
Chen Tao continued to talk nonsense, urging in his heart.
Hurry up!
"Don'tβInterrupt me again!!"
Bane snorted, then tried to readjust his voice to his original cold, cruel tone, but failed.
"Ah, hell, I didn't mean to blow up the Met-
"Everything I do is for you!"
"You!"
"To defeat you, to conquer your city, to weaken youβ"
"Batman, I offer you a way to save the Met."
Bane let out a sigh and finished everything he was meant to say: "An opportunity for self-sacrifice." β
He beckoned to Martha Wayne, who was standing next to her, and she walked over, and half of her body cracked without warning.
Bane put his hand into her stomach: "Here, October conceived, the miracle of life was born, didn't it?" β
He took out a pre-prepared bottle of liquid from Martha Wayne's body.
"But this place can also store life-stealing poison."
Bane placed the vial of poison in front of Chen Tao.
"This is my gift to you. Batman. You're going to drink it. β
He said with malice:
"In order to weaken you, the venom I specially created for you is a good recipe to eat away at your body."
"After that day, I studied the nature of your body, some tiny nanobots," he said. There are also some car and dinosaur transformations, and I know everything about you by now. β
"This is specially developed for you, and they are able to destroy your nanobody, so that you will never have a chance to confront me again," he said. β
"I don't know when you're still talented in scientific research."
Chen Tao said a little strangely, he thought:
Does Bain have this premise? Developed this kind of thing in just 4 days?
"You can choose to believe it or you can choose not to believe it, I guess you must be thinking at this moment, how can I have such scientific research ability to develop corresponding targeted drugs in just 4 days."
Bane gestured to the jar of venom he was carrying behind him, "But it's also possible." After all, I've mastered the art of making venom and am a self-taught poison master. β
"So take a gamble? Bat? Bet I'm lying to you? β
"Even if it's true, you won't die, and I can tell you very clearly that I haven't developed the ability to develop a potion that can kill you."
"It's nothing more than being weakened, you have the confidence to win against me, right?"
Bane's voice whispered.
Tim's voice rang out, "Batman, I've found a place, but there's no one in this place!" β
οΌ
Chen Tao frowned, and he directly turned his voice to hands-free mode.
"There are no clowns, no nuclear weapons, and no consoles...... And so on and so on and there is no live broadcast, it's just a video ......"
Bane jerked at the communicator on his wrist.
He looked even more surprised than Chen Tao.
"How so?" He said, "I let the clown ......"
Chen Tao whispered into the headset and said, "Contact Hallie and Poison Ivy, we still have a backhand, it's okay......"
"Hahahaha
Chen Tao probably guessed what was going on. The seeds he had planted with the Joker and Bane had finally come to fruition.
He turned around and saw the Joker appear around the corner of the hallway, staring at Bane with malicious eyes.
"I ...... How can you just take Batman's favor away from you? β
