Chapter 408 I Won’t Tell You Who Will Be in Trouble (Part 2)

Gotham's traffic has improved more in the past year than in the past ten years combined.

First, the new mayor's first move was to solve the traffic problem. Although the traffic civilization day for several consecutive days almost turned Gotham's central roundabout into a ruin, it further demonstrated the new mayor's determination to control traffic even if it meant destroying the world.

Then, the phenomenon that logistics problems affect the development of the gang industry has made most of the gang bosses realize that they cannot kill the pond to catch fish, and they must build first to make profits. If no one is willing to contribute money and effort, the final result will be that everyone will be blocked together and no one will make money.

Although these gang bosses have not read much, their desire to make money is very high. Driven by interests, they not only actively participate in the traffic civilization day, providing sufficient firepower support for traffic police and police, but also spend a lot of money to hire various professionals to reorganize Gotham's traffic network, and even sincerely invite some excellent traffic police to come to this city to help them maintain traffic.

The drivers who were originally bad-tempered and uneducated also found that only when the roads were unblocked would they have more opportunities to choose from. With the development of logistics, there would be more cars, and they would no longer have to work rigidly for a low-wage gangster, but could go and find better jobs. So although they still cursed, most people finally learned to abide by simple traffic rules.

With so many measures in place, Gotham's traffic has improved a lot, but if you have to pick a typical example, the most chaotic is the central roundabout area.

This transportation hub has a long history. It was built by the first group of Europeans who landed here. At that time, it was just an ordinary town square. Later, some families in Gotham retained the original structure when they built it, and built it into the largest roundabout hub in the central area of ​​Gotham with the most traffic.

The problem is that when the Europeans built this place, they assumed that only they would go here and they all understood traffic rules, but the later users were not these Europeans, but the vast majority of uneducated but bad-tempered truck drivers.

Because the traffic situation here was so bad, Gordon had to borrow Batman's high-powered bat light to act as a traffic light. Later, Schiller found a group of Marvel heroes to increase the power of the traffic light, turning it into the brightest light ball that could illuminate Gotham.

Coupled with the traffic police holding bazookas on the central watchtower to supervise traffic rules and the interns from Gotham University who were responsible for issuing tickets and towing, the traffic situation at the central roundabout finally improved.

Drivers can finally see the huge four-way traffic light clearly and basically understand what the different lights on it mean, such as stopping when you see a red light and going when you see a green light, and when you can turn when you see a green light, and when you must stop and wait.

This is indeed a good phenomenon, but it cannot cover up the irritability of drivers. They always feel that the green light time in the direction they are going is too short, while the green light time for others seems to be very long, so you can often hear all kinds of verbal battles in the central roundabout area, which even promoted the development of Gotham's hip-hop rap culture circle.

After all, you don't even need to buy a ticket, you just need a car and the courage to dive into the congested area of ​​the central roundabout, and you can listen to a rap concert with witty remarks and all English slang and swear words for free.

But fortunately, even if the green light time is short, there is still a green light. Waiting will only make them irritable and impatient, and will not make them fight. This situation lasted for a long time, and the overall traffic situation was developing in a benign direction.

Until one day, a large green light bulb that Yizhan could see very clearly from all four directions fell on top of the entire traffic light.

If you look down at the central turntable from a high altitude, you will find that when this huge green light bulb suddenly lights up, all the cars almost step on the accelerator without thinking, and in an instant there are "clicks!", "clicks!", "bangs!", "booms!"...

Then there is the rap concert, and da da da da da da...

In fact, the central turntable has also been reduced to ruins. Most people shoot a few shots at the cars to vent their anger. If they really attack other people, it means that the two parties have a long-standing grudge and just use this as an excuse to rage. Once the police enter the scene, the riot will soon subside.

But the only problem is that, unfortunately, there is a very innocent university professor who participated in this chaos, or was forced to participate in this chaos, and that is Schiller.

Originally, Schiller was in a good mood when he returned to DC again, because university professors have vacations. He didn't take his vacation last year, so he could take it this year. He originally planned to finish teaching the part he is currently teaching, assign a paper, and then go on vacation.

Today is his last day of work before his vacation.

Schiller didn't have any grand vacation plans. He just wanted to go to nearby Blüdhaven to see the scenery. It has now become a new tourist destination on the East Coast. Staying there for a few days is the choice of many middle-class people in Gotham.

However, there is no room for taking a train or a plane at this distance. Americans also prefer to travel by car, so Schiller originally planned to drive there by himself.

But now, he stood on the side of the road, looking at his old Ford car whose front bumper was almost completely smashed and both rear wheels completely flying off, and he sighed deeply.

The thing is, when all the drivers saw the green light turn on, they all stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, because these drivers were already impatient to wait, and they were unwilling to judge the light on the lamp post. Whether the light was really green or not, Schiller knew that it was not really a green light, so he did not step on the accelerator immediately.

As a result, the car behind him that stepped on the accelerator directly hit his car and hit the pickup truck in front.

As we all know, in such rear-end collisions, the car in the middle suffers the most serious damage. If Schiller hadn't had his spider sense and teleported out at the moment of the car accident, he might have been hit by the airbag at this moment. Pressed on the seat.

Just when Schiller was thinking about who to call for such a thing, a very familiar figure came over. Evans said hello to Schiller, glanced at Schiller, and then looked at Schiller's car. , stopped wanting to come over, and silently took two steps back.

He said, "Good morning, Professor."

"Why are you standing so far away?" Schiller looked at him and asked, then waved to him and said: "Come here, who should I call in this situation? You know, I am a foreigner, there is a tow truck company here and so on ”

Evans had no intention of stepping forward. He just stood there and pursed his lips and said, "Yes, yes, it's just..."

At this moment, another group of people came over. A man in a suit held a notebook. He looked Schiller up and down, then looked at his car and said, "Severely damaged vehicles, there will be an additional 20 towing fee." % of the cost, Bol, go get his car taken care of, Doyle Towing Company thanks you for your business.”

Schiller sighed, reached into his suit pocket, took out his wallet, and said while thumbing through, "Okay, how much does a tow cost?"

"$120, sir."

Schiller looked him up and down and said incredulously: "What did you say? 120 US dollars?"

"The situation is special, sir, can't you still see it? We are waiting for someone now. If you don't come to us, that guy from Layton will charge more money. He dares to ask you for 200 US dollars!"

Schiller shook his head. If this were New York in the 21st century in the Marvel world, this price would be acceptable, but now it is 1988, and most consumer units are still cents.

At this time, Evans came up and wanted to help Schiller, but Schiller gave him a look to stop him, took out two bills from his wallet and said, "Here."

Doyle took the money and whistled, because he found that he had received an extra ten dollars. He immediately waved to the other side of the car and said: "Boll, be gentle, this is our big customer!"

He flicked the banknotes with his fingers and said: "In Gotham, there are not many people who tip. Thank you, sir. We will ensure that your car reaches the designated location safely. Doyle Company is the most professional towing company. We will see you next time." If you need it, come to us!”

"The Great Luo of All Worlds"

Evans looked at Schiller, shrugged and said, "At least the service attitude is pretty good, right?"

Schiller calmly put away his wallet and put it back in his pocket, then looked around at the chaotic situation. Just as Doyle said just now, most of the cars on the field are broken down. The central carousel was blocked again, and the roundabout in the middle was reduced to ruins.

Then Schiller raised his head and looked toward the sky.

So, where is the Green Lantern, or Green Lantern Hal, who just landed?

He was now floating several hundred meters in the air, watching everything happening below in horror.

Before, he thought that Gotham's folk customs were simple and honest. Now, he knew that Gotham's folk customs were truly simple and simple.

He wanted to do something to remedy all this, but his hunch told him that it was better not to go down now.

It turns out that Hal's intuition was very accurate, because it was not just Schiller who suffered this time, but also the Batman family.

Before Green Lantern stopped at the lamppost, Bruce drove Selina, Elsa, Dick and the old butler Alfred, who wanted to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

It's not that Bruce wants to give them a physical examination, but that the old butler Alfred wants to make sure that Bruce's strange life trajectory during this period does not cause any trouble to his body. Although it is okay to invite a doctor to the house, Alfred hopes Everyone is getting a more thorough check-up, so it's better to go to the hospital.

They made an appointment for a physical examination in the morning, so early in the morning, Bruce drove everyone to the hospital. Originally, they were prepared to be stuck in the center carousel for a while, but they didn't expect that the jam would last for a whole day. sky.

Bruce's experience was the same as Schiller's. When all the drivers thought it was a green light, he discovered that it was not actually a green light, but Green Lantern Hal, so he did not step on the accelerator.

But fortunately, the cars he drove were all safety vehicles, which were much better than the old Ford car, so the two cars in front and behind him suffered more heavy losses, while Bruce's car was unscathed.

But that didn't mean he wasn't angry. Bruce was proud of the improvement in Gotham's traffic situation, which also provided him with a lot of convenience. But why did this guy with a green glow all over his body couldn't figure out why he had to come? Making trouble here?

The one who was even more angry than him was the old butler Alfred. At that moment, Alfred also saw Haier's appearance.

A few days ago, he actually discovered this guy with green light all over his body. Not only was he suspected of following Elsa, he also seemed to be following Batman.

The old butler squinted his eyes and looked up into the sky. Among the dense clouds in Gotham, he keenly captured the inconspicuous green light.

At this time, Hal shivered violently.
