Chapter 1736 S: The Great Event of Apocalypse (Part 3)
The next two hours of the journey opened the eyes of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, but to talk about what they saw, we have to start with the current situation of the chaotic gangs in Gotham.
After the initial large-scale war, the gang families reached a strange balance. After the great waves, about thirteen families finally successfully gained a foothold and became the most powerful gang families in Gotham, including the Wayne and Kane families.
But because the gangs were led by these two families, the situation began to run wildly in another direction and was out of control.
Again, Batman and the Joker will fight in any field that humans can get involved in, and the first confrontation is the arms race.
Technological confrontation is not just a simple competition of the foundation of the military industry. Everyone knows that the core technology of a technological power is the biggest killer in the arms race.
Weapons such as bombs enchanted with a firestorm plus 16 that seem very cool but not very useful cannot be called core technology. They need more decisive technology.
But if you want technology, you have to face a problem, that is, creating technology requires talent.
Most of the education of Gotham people starts from prenatal education and ends at driving school. Occasionally, there are a few super geniuses who have a flash of inspiration, but most of them are too young and have not received systematic education.
For half a month, Thomas and Martha are like the frustrated fisherman who has prepared the pot but can't catch a single fish. They are not without money or resources. Whether it is experimental materials or experimental sites, they have been prepared long ago. The problem is that without scientists, everything is in vain.
If it was possible to hire talents from other places before, with the current situation in Gotham, those who have brains will not come, and those who come will definitely not have brains.
Again, you never know what price Batman and the Joker are willing to pay to defeat each other. The destination of every frustrated fisherman is the landing net and the harpoon. The two gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and the eight major sects besieged Arkham!
Both of them are locals, especially Thomas. Of course, he knows where to find the most educated scientific talents. What better think tank is there than Arkham Asylum?
At that time, all kinds of monsters in Arkham Asylum were preparing to break out. They had expected that they might be blocked by gangsters, or Batman would come down from the sky and take them back, so they were certainly fully prepared for this.
But again, what is more terrifying than opening your eyes and seeing Batman or the Joker? That is to open your eyes and see Batman and the Joker fighting each other.
These two people's fights have always had a kind of beauty that disregards the lives of others. In order to grab more scientists, Thomas and Martha didn't care about anything at all, and took out the most manpower and the most sufficient force to surround Arkham Asylum tightly.
These villains have never seen such a scene. Batman wanted to install a mute device on each of his toes, for fear that others would know that he had caught the criminal. Now, life imprisonment has been changed to a thunderbolt.
Actually, the lunatics who are still in Arkham Asylum are not considered as force-fighting people. Even the physical strength of Killer Croc is not very high. The super villains among the force-fighting people, such as Bane, were not trapped, and Mr. Freeze left long ago.
These literary fighters have no way to face real guns and cannons. The biggest trouble they can cause to Batman is mental torture. When they find that they can't reason with rocket launchers, missile launchers and machine guns, they fully understand the significance of contributing to the development of Gotham's mafia families.
So, the mafia families almost greedily divided up this group of super villains who have intelligence and force.
Originally, it was just a stopgap measure for these people to follow the mafia. Their eloquence can fool even Batman, so why can't they fool ordinary people?
They took this opportunity to slip out of the asylum first. When they got there, who could stop them from running?
It was their rigorous scientific spirit that stopped them.
To be honest, although these super villains in Gotham do not do their work every day, judging from their academic qualifications, which are more outrageous than one another, they are very academic and have a high level of academic skills. Moreover, most of them are not completely unskilled, but have some academic background.
The biggest enemy of scientists is amateur scientists.
When these villains arrived at the laboratory prepared by the gangsters, they were dumbfounded. The place was spacious, the equipment was expensive, and the raw materials were sufficient, but they were useless. The thing that scientists can't tolerate most is that the funds are wasted.
This can't be blamed on the gangsters. Except for the leaders of a few families who have knowledge in this area, most of them have no concept of scientific research. Basically, they buy whatever equipment is expensive and stock up whatever raw materials are scarce. There is no systematic structure at all.
The construction of the laboratory is even more irrelevant. There is an advanced disinfection room outside the physics laboratory, and the medical laboratory and the equipment are separated by two miles and are all basic operations. What's more, the high-energy laboratory is next to the dangerous chemical raw material warehouse, and the smelting furnace is placed under the low-temperature laboratory.
It can be said that Gotham's gang still has a chance to continue to roll, and their skills all depend on God's blessing. The main point is that a skilled person is the only one who is daring.
How can these serious scientists tolerate this? Suddenly, Batman no longer looked for the slogan of taking back the city and forgot about it. All kinds of villains shouted throughout the whole process, "Clean up your shabby laboratory and put the safety regulations on it! Hand sanitizer! Protective clothing!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is why Amanda couldn't find any villains who made any noise in this city. Everyone was busy clearing out the civil affairs.
In the Spencer family's underground biology laboratory, Harley Quinn was sitting on a chair with a lollipop in her mouth. She looked at Poison Ivy who was knocking bottles and jars in front of the experimental table, her face wrinkled with dissatisfaction. Said: "Xiao Lu, are you serious? Are you going to do experiments here?"
Poison Ivy sighed, looked at Harley Quinn and said: "I am doing experiments here to prevent them from doing experiments here. As long as I occupy the laboratory, old Spencer's crazy nephew will not come here. ”
Just as Harley Quinn was about to say something, Poison Ivy interrupted her and continued: "His crazy plan to stimulate Gotham people's madness by polluting Gotham's underground water and thereby improving the city's wisdom should be discussed with that crazy Scarecrow. Instead of preparing those so-called poisons in the laboratory that stink all over the street - he is insulting poison! "
"Okay, okay." Harley Quinn waved her hand and put the ankle of one leg on the knee of the other. She shook her leg and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the talent in this area..."
As soon as she said this, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. After getting Poison Ivy's response, a gang member walked in. With a smile on his face, he said to Harley Quinn: "Quinn Miss, it’s like this, we will have a fight in about two days, look at the result..."
"Wait a minute." Harley Quinn waved to him impatiently, then stretched out one hand to grab something in the void, stretched her head over it, and looked in one direction like she was stretching out a window. He glanced at me and said: "If you can't win, there's no chance."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, you are busy with your work!"
Poison Ivy looked at her with a smile and said, "No talent, huh?"
"You don't know yet? I don't have the patience to do this at all! Forget it, tell me what you are doing. It's not like I don't always have the patience to listen to you muttering about plants."
"Usually you don't." Poison Ivy lowered her voice, but she wasn't complaining. There was a hint of hesitation in her tone, which was unusual.
Harley Quinn saw her hesitation, so she stood up from the stool and came to the opposite side of the experimental table. She put her hands on the experimental table and looked into Poison Ivy's eyes and said, "What's wrong? Little Green, are you still there?" Will you be troubled by botany and biology?"
"A little bit." Poison Ivy shook her head slightly. She picked up a test tube at hand, stared at the liquid inside and said, "I extracted something from the plants in Gotham."
"Is it some kind of darkness?" Harley Quinn asked vaguely, holding a lollipop in her mouth.
"Yes, what I saw and heard in the Sky Fortress gave me some ideas. I always thought that the mysterious dark characteristics of Gotham's plants were due to the rain that also contains mysterious power. Of course, there may be some of it. reasons, but not all.”
"What do you suspect?"
"Soil." Poison Ivy put down the test tube, her eyes were blank, and she said as she thought: "If there is a problem with all the metals in Gotham, and it forms a huge magic base, then the person who caused all this wants to control this The position is that it is impossible to knock every piece of metal. They must have set up a master control room. "
"You think that would be underground?"
Poison Ivy nodded, seeming to be happy that Harley Quinn understood her so well, but she had no time to talk about love now. Instead, she focused on the academic content. She said: "Look, if a certain president who brings together dark power... The control room is buried underground, so it can affect both groundwater and soil, which can better explain why plants are affected second only to humans. Water and soil occupy most of the conditions for plant survival. "
"So you are trying to deduce the location of the main control room through the density of darkness on the plants?" Harley Quinn's thoughts immediately caught up.
"It's just an idea." Poison Ivy calmed down again. She turned to look at the row of test tubes on the test tube rack and said, "This is not the most important work so far. I guess those crazy people have already produced some results. ”
At this moment, another gang member walked in and said: "Hello, excuse me, two ladies, we just received an invitation, which seems to invite you to an academic conference."
"Here we come." Harley Quinn gestured "I really have you" to Poison Ivy, and the two left the laboratory together and headed to the agreed-upon location.
The meeting location was set up in the conference room of Gotham University. The entire university was almost undamaged and the facilities were in good condition. As soon as the two walked in, they discovered that most of Gotham's famous super villains were there.
But this time the person presiding over the meeting was not those familiar faces, but a man wearing an Arab robe and the same white mask, whose image was completely unclear. Harley Quinn recalled it and whispered to Poison Ivy: "He The code name is the wizard, um... Felix or Felix? "
"He is a fellow traveler with Constantine. I heard he is an evil black magician. He was previously working on his evil plans in the Amazon rainforest. He has not returned to Gotham for a long time."
At this moment, Hugo patted the microphone vigorously and said in a nonchalant voice:
"Everyone is invited here today to conduct a round of voting. The content of the vote is - whether all Gotham residents should exercise their legitimate democratic rights and vote to secede from the federal system of the United States of America and the state of New Jersey to which it belongs!"
Harley Quinn's eyes widened, "No, wait a minute, why do we... um, wait, ssss... I mean... how to get out?"
Hugo turned to look at the wizard Felix Faust standing aside.
Standing in the sky fortress in geosynchronous orbit, Robins looked at me and I looked at you. Dick swallowed his saliva first and said: "I have a bad feeling..."
"How long do you think it will take for Gotham people to find out..."
The next second, a black spot grew bigger and bigger in their eyes, and a huge city shrouded in black magic shield rose into the sky like a rocket.
The Robins were stunned to see a brand new flag slowly rising on the tallest building in Gotham City, the megacity on the east coast of the United States that had just flown up.
Then, tens of millions of people cheered together——
“Long live freedom!!!!!”
