The state of affairs is bad.

It's worse than Dean imagined.

He had thought that the Black Gate Prison had just been breached a few hours earlier, and that the thousands of prisoners who had escaped from it would first go to find a place to hide or take shelter for a while before coming out.

Dean thinks that as long as he is a normal person, he will do this.

But he still underestimated the madness of Gotham criminals.

Not mental madness, but guts madness.

Hundreds of Black Gate fugitives have appeared on the streets of Gotham and vandalized shops and residential buildings.

They carry a variety of weapons in their hands, baseball bats, golf clubs, machetes, hammers...... Everything.

However, most of them are melee weapons, and there are relatively few people who hold guns.

This is probably because they have just escaped from prison and have no connections in the big gangs, so they have no way to get a gun in a short period of time, so they can only find some common things to use as weapons.

They were even wearing prison uniforms from Black Gate Prison.

Only a few of the more fortunate prisoners happened to run into a gun shop, and dozens of people rushed up to get a small arsenal at the cost of two or three corpses, and they had a chance to upgrade their equipment.

This group of people is the most vicious group of fugitives from the Black Gate Prison, they are unscrupulous, bold, and full of hatred for this society.

So when they just regain their freedom, they will only do one thing.

Destruction, never-ending destruction.

Perhaps the only difference between them and Arkham prisoners is not the presence or absence of mental illness, but the severity of their symptoms.

If it were just a few hundred armed thugs smashing and fighting in the streets, it would not seem to be a particularly serious situation.

It won't be hard for GCPD to crack down.

But this is Gotham, and Gotham is a gasoline drum that fries up at a moment's notice.

With hundreds of fugitives wreaking havoc everywhere in Gotham, how could it not attract the attention of local gang gangsters?

The merchants on this street have paid protection fees, and if the store is smashed, of course they will come out and fight back.

The gangs of this street came out to hunt down the fugitives, and the gangs of that street also came out to hunt down another group of fugitives.

So the question is, what happens if there is a feud between these two gangs?

The gang members who killed the red eye didn't think so much, seeing that the rival was over there, and he just happened to kill him at this time, wouldn't it seem like I was cowardly if I didn't cut him twice?

It is also possible that some fugitives from Black Gate Prison happen to be members of one of the gangs, and now they will join forces on the spot and go to the other gang together, and maybe some ambitious gangs will take this opportunity to go out and annex other gangs......

There are countless gangs entrenched in the countless streets of Gotham, and the hundreds of fugitives from the Black Gate Prison have directly or indirectly triggered dozens of large and small gangs to merge.

A massive riot is spreading across the city.

On top of a tall building in Gotham, Dean wears a black tights, a cloak, and a face mask.

A yellow bat logo on the chest.

It looks like a replica of a cape fighter.

It's just that he's a lot shorter, and the suit he wears also reveals a full sense of cheapness.

That's right, he put on that knockoff bat suit again.

It's not that he plans to change his career to become a superhero to set things right, Dean just thinks that in the current environment, it is more convenient to wear this outfit to move.

Looking at the chaos on the streets below, prison fugitives, gangsters, GCPDs, SWAT forces...... All forces were drawn into the melee.

It's not so much the streets as the battlefields where street battles are taking place.

There are even some superpowers, who perform quite brilliantly on the battlefield, and then they are set on fire and beaten into a sieve.

Bang bang!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Gunshots and explosions rang out from all sides of Gotham.

You can still see skyrocketing flames in many directions, and I don't know which unlucky guy's house was burned.

"This is Gotham."

Dean couldn't help but sigh, familiar with a little novelty.

This is not the first time a similar situation has happened, he has lived in Gotham for so many years, and of course he has experienced such moments of great riot.

It's just that when this happened in the past, he mostly hid in the secret room in the basement of his house, listening to the gunfire all night long.

It's the first time I've seen a scuffle outside like this.

I have to say that when Dean first debuted as a monster thief Kidd a few months ago, it was indeed a rare good time, and Gotham was calm for several months in a row, and nothing major happened.

For a Gotham native like Dean, it's actually a bit uncomfortable.

At this point, I finally regained the familiar feeling.

That's the right taste.

"I don't know if my home has been harmed, I have specially reinforced the explosion-proof performance of the wall before, and it should not be too seriously damaged, but the windows are estimated to be unable to be saved."

Dean thought to himself.

"Hmm...... In this situation, I'm afraid that no place in Gotham is safe, what should I do? ”

——

If anything, when most of Gotham City is in turmoil, there is no place that can be called safe.

There is definitely a place for the Iceberg Club.

At this moment, hundreds of Penguin thugs gathered near the Iceberg Club, all wearing body armor and armed with military rifles, and their equipment looked better than that of the GCPD.

No one who doesn't open their eyes dares to come here to spread wild.

Whether it's a fugitive from Black Gate Prison or other gangs large and small, no one wants to touch the penguins.

"Do you want to figure out who made this farce?"

In the conference room, the penguin sat in a high position with a blank face and asked in a cold voice.

Below, more than a dozen senior leaders of the Penguin Gang gathered together, and the expressions on their faces were not good-looking.

Gotham is now in a mess, and if it continues like this, their business will be completely ruined.

"Boss, find out, about a few hours ago, Roman Siannis attacked the Black Gate Prison under the pseudonym Black Mask, and released all the criminals inside, and it was the fugitives from the Black Gate Prison who started a riot in Gotham."

"It's not clear if those criminals are destroying everywhere, whether it was Roman's order."

Below, Ogilvi, covered in bandages, spoke in a solemn tone.

Not long ago, he was kicked by Batman and suffered a lot of injuries, and he should have been recuperating in the hospital, but today such a big event happened, and the Penguins gathered all the boss-level subordinates under him, and Ogilvi came over with his injuries.

As the personal secretary of the penguin people, he has to rely on him to communicate a lot of the time.

"Black Mask? What kind of broken name is this? Roman, that wasted rich second generation, actually had the courage to attack the Black Gate Prison? ”

Hearing this, the penguin man raised his eyebrows.

In his impression, Roman is still the same gentleman with extremely poor business ability, and the company is about to go bankrupt, so he has to come to him to launder money for help.

It also led to the first grudge between the thief Kidd and the penguins, which made the penguins lose a lot of money.

At that time, for the sake of fame, the penguin finally remitted the money to Roman, and he suffered this loss.

"Humph! The release of all the criminals in the Black Gate Prison is simply trying to make everyone feel bad! ”

One of the leaders snorted coldly.

"Black Mask? I'm still on white soles! What is the name of the mentally retarded, who thinks he can control all the criminals in the Black Gate Prison? What a dream, I think he's been torn to shreds by angry prisoners! ”

Another leader said.

"I heard that Black Mask appeared on the territory of the Wayne Group, with nearly a thousand people under his command, and is attacking the Wayne Building."

At this time, Ogilvi spoke again.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience stopped talking.

Attacking the Wayne Group is a bit delicate.

If it was before, they would have dared to bomb Wayne Tower, but when the news of the Wayne Group's public support for Batman and even the Justice League spread, it would have to be weighed.

"Gotham is my city, and I will never allow anyone to stir things up here without my consent!"

The penguin man slapped the table and said with a dangerous look.

"Gather the men, we're going to let that Black Mask know who is the king of Gotham!"
