Chapter 79 31. Congratulations to Gotham successfully promoted from the city of chaos to the land of no man! --【1450】
"Where am I?"
A few minutes later, Dick Grayson opened his eyes dizzily, and then vigilantly turned his head and looked around with the posture that a "retired Robin" should have.
Then he also saw the Wayne Building, which was almost set on fire.
Especially the flaming bat logo, bringing an angry look to Nightwing's face with his bat-like mask covering only his eyes.
"It's the Wayne Building that was fired and not the Batcave. Why are you so angry?"
Mason, who was driving a flying motorcycle, said something faintly, which instantly brought the young master back to his senses. He laughed twice and said:
"Because Bruce Wayne is Batman's friend, they've always been"
"Because Bruce Wayne is Batman!"
Mason yawned, and casually told the truth, so startled that Grayson almost jumped up in the car, and then he heard the wicked young man say slowly:
"I just picked him up from the trash can with my own hands the day before yesterday, you want to know what happened to Batman?
Simple, he was attacked.
Although the cause and effect are not very clear, I can probably guess that it was an action against him, and everything you see before your eyes is the aftermath of that action.
The League of Assassins was really afraid of him to death, and they dared to take such a large-scale action only after confirming that Batman would not come forward to disrupt the situation. "
"Is that so?"
Nightwing calmed down and said:
"Then all of this makes sense. Where are you going now? We should go to the Gordon House and find Barbara to contact other people to gather. This situation has surpassed the limit of fighting alone."
"That's the problem, Grayson, we can't go to Barbara."
Mason drove the flying motorcycle around in the air a few times, and flew towards the direction of the iceberg bar.
He whispered to Nightwing:
"I thought you would be more perceptive. When you heard that Batman was attacked, you should have guessed the second meaning I wanted to express. There is a traitor among you!"
"impossible!"
Ye Yi immediately retorted:
"There are no traitors in the Bat-family! We have no secrets! We are forever. Us"
His voice slowly sank.
Obviously reason is gaining the upper hand.
Mason glanced at him and didn't intend to speak out a dark guess in his heart, but accelerated across the street that was already congested below.
On some overpass near the light rail below the two men who were riding across the city, two gangs were shooting guns at each end of the street.
Several overturned vehicles are burning, while screaming crowds are everywhere around them.
Rao is Gotham City's "folks are simple and honest". The citizens here are well-informed, and it is difficult for them to maintain calm in the face of such an explosive situation tonight.
What's more terrible is that a group of prisoners riding motorcycles are running back and forth on the street screaming.
These guys were still wearing prisoners' hands and holding weapons they didn't know where they came from, and they were reveling and wantonly firing at the refugee crowd.
This kind of chaos didn't just appear before Mason's eyes. Looking around, there were similar fires rising everywhere in Gotham, as well as the piercing gunshots across the night sky.
"I'm going to confess something to you, Grayson."
When approaching the Iceberg Bar, Mason said softly:
"I've done some 'bad things' in the past, but at the moment it looks like a good thing by accident. You can't do what you want to do when you come to Gotham alone and don't bring any heavy equipment Even if you're a serious superhero.
Considering that the Batcave may have been captured by now, and I trust your skills, I will get you some extra equipment. When you are ready, we will go to Batman.
But please stop asking me where I got them, OK? "
"Um."
Ye Yi, who was thinking about the terrible question in his mind, nodded, and soon the flying motorcycle approached Glacier Avenue, but the scene that came into view made Mason frown.
A fire was lit on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar.
A large group of **** who don’t know where they came from occupied the entrance of the bar and patrolled with guns. There was still an aftermath after the explosion on the third floor, and the row of lavish floor-to-ceiling windows was almost completely blown apart.
Mason took out his cell phone and dialed a number, but no one answered.
Something happened to the kite man?
This was Mason's first thought.
TMD eat bear heart leopard dare dare to touch my people!
This was his second thought as the captain of Team K.
"Sit tight!"
Mason threw the invisibility cloak to Ye Yi and said in a cold voice. Before the young master could react, the flying motorcycle suddenly accelerated towards the third floor full of broken glass and rushed in.
A few young men who were standing by the broken window smoking a cigarette were knocked out by the motorcycle rushing towards them before they could react.
Amidst the piercing sound of brakes, the blue motorcycle came to a sudden stop and swung its tail on the luxurious marble floor, and Mason, who was wearing a full gray suit, jumped out of the car.
The young and old wanted to keep up but were stopped.
There was a light "click", and the critical shotgun loaded with the under-mounted grenade launcher was drawn backhand.
More than a dozen flight engineering bombs were also released to form a swarm, and Mason manipulated the built-in controller of the suit to fly silently into the hall in front of him.
He stretched his neck and said to the young master:
"Go to the office on the top floor, and watch out for any dogs there! I'll go there right away. Don't follow, Grayson. What's going to happen here may not be in line with the Bat-family's code of conduct."
"Boom"
The first explosion sounded in the closed space, and a group of minions who were blown up amidst the flames were crying for their parents.
Mason strode forward stepping on broken glass, took out a bottle of petrochemical potion from the ammunition belt on his chest, and threw it towards the ceiling in front of him. When the enemy rushed out, he exploded the potion and petrified a dozen people in front of him. .
Then several deer bullets hit the past and smashed the stone statues in place.
This ferocious offensive quickly reached a climax as engineering bombs were detonated one after another.
Yeyi twitched his eyes and looked at Mason who suddenly went berserk, but he didn't try to stop him, because the person in front of him was not a member of the Bat Family.
There is no need for people to abide by Batman's set of no-kill theory.
The young master wore an invisibility cloak and took one last look at the third floor of the bar where the bullets were flying and howling, and he shook his head and quickly rushed to the top floor along the stairwell.
"The Falcone family?"
Mason squatted on the ground and looked at the minions who had just been killed by him.
The other party had a blood-stained top hat on his hand, which was an obvious symbol of the mafia family, and only these "underworld nobles" would care about these meaningless decorations.
Probably trying to improve your style?
After figuring out who the enemy is, Mason relaxed a little.
Although the kiteman is weak, he is still a team member who has experienced two world expansions. He has killed dragons, slaughtered zombies, and talked and laughed with legendary pirates. He will not be killed by these ordinary minions.
He was about to go up to the top floor to see who was in charge of the capture of the bar, but the noisy explosion on the third floor soon attracted the minions below and above to come to support.
A few seconds later, as soon as they rushed into the hall full of gunpowder smoke, the engineering bombs that had been ambushed in advance detonated in unison.
The whole building was shaken by the horrible movement and static.
The "bang bang" gunshots echoed in the smoke and scorched air of the explosion, and all gang members who did not die in the explosion were shot.
It is conservatively estimated that the Falcone family will have to recruit a large number of people from the Minion Union after tonight.
"Ding"
A few minutes later, the golden elevator opened on the top floor.
Mason stepped out of the elevator with a gun in hand, and the downed gang members were full of downed gangsters before his eyes.
It looked like Ye Yi's handwriting.
The young man put the gun back into the weapon slot behind him, and pulled out the double-barreled hand cannon from his waist.
While walking towards the office with **** footprints, he sent a slug burst as a farewell gift to all the guys lying on the ground in his sight.
It’s actually not a big deal to break into the secret base of Team K so boldly, just pay attention in the next life.
Besides, this is not venting anger.
The guys lying here will all become "soldiers" for the Assassin League to destroy the city. This is a war that has already begun, and being soft-hearted at this time is just asking for trouble for yourself.
Tips for improving shooting skills floated in front of his eyes like swiping the screen, but the translucent light curtain did not affect Mason's vision. He kicked open the office on the top floor and walked into it full of blood.
Yeyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the burning Gotham in the night.
This guy looks like the leader.
"Maroni, the 'general' of the Falcone family."
As Mason approaches, Nightwing turns to him and says:
"I asked him when you slaughtered those minions, and he said that Falcone had long been in contact with the League of Assassins, and that after the death of the Penguin, the Mafia became the first choice for the Assassins.
The League of Assassins promised to hand over control of Gotham to Falcone after tonight.
But I suspect the mafia boss has lost his mind.
Who would want to rule over a post-war ruin? "
"If what they promised was a ruin without Batman messing around, then I guess a lot of people would be tempted to try it. What about my people?"
Mason asked, Ye Yi shook his head and said:
" Maroni said he didn't see it, he said that when he rushed here with people, there were only a group of boys left in the bar, and the kite man seemed to have left early.
But I found this in the office. "
The major handed a strange withered leaf to Mason, who held it in his hand, looked at it, nodded and said:
"I see. I hear this is the guy who threw acid on Harvey Dent's face and body and turned that promising prosecutor into a coin-obsessed lunatic?"
Mason looked at the unconscious Maroni and asked.
The young master sighed and replied:
"No, the rumors are not true. Before Maroney poured acid on Harvey Dent, that guy's thinking was not right. Although he created the double-faced man himself, the birth of the double-faced man and He doesn't matter."
"In other words, even if Maroni is handed over to the double-faced people, he won't be able to get help?"
Facing Mason's question, the young master nodded.
"boom"
A decisive bullet flew out along the muzzle of the gun.
The injection from the temple of the comatose Maroney caused the entire head to explode, blood splattered everywhere, and made a good chair extremely disgusting.
"There's a secret compartment next to the wall, open it."
Mason opened the double-barreled hand cannon and replaced it with a golden cursed bullet, and said something to the young master who turned his head. The latter hesitated, but before he could speak, the young man raised his head and said to him:
"The thugs who broke into my house without permission deserved this! You know I'm usually gentle, Grayson, but I have my limits.
Gotham is your home too.
is where you were born and raised, you've spent the past ten years trying to make it better with Batman, and now a mob wants to destroy your home.
I'm curious what would you do? "
Mason opened the drawer, took a few bottles of potion here and put them on the belt of the battle suit, glanced at the young master's expression again, and said:
"Are you going to stay in a daze here, or change your clothes and follow me to see Batman?"
Nightwing sighed, turned and walked to the indicated wall to fumble for the switch of the secret compartment there.
"唰"
The door of the compartment was pushed open, and what Yeyi saw was a wooden door fixed to the wall.
This unique decoration surprised the young master, but soon, a whole row of bat suits of various colors placed on the wall attracted his attention.
"Where did you get these?"
Grayson exclaimed.
Mason stepped forward and opened the cabinet, and put all kinds of medicines, engineering bombs and accessories stored in it into his suitcase. While picking up a few modified engineering bombs, he said quietly:
"You promised that I wouldn't ask! Go and put on that titanium alloy concept bat suit, which is enough to protect against bullets of any caliber and is very suitable for the current situation.
I have some Batman combat accessories here, you can pick your own.
I'll give you five minutes to pack up, and I'll wait for you in the underground garage. "
Speaking of which, Mason emphasized with emphasis:
"In order to prevent you from making a fuss again, I want to tell you in advance that there is an unpainted prototype Batmobile parked there. Don't ask me where I got it!
Otherwise I will petrify you and throw you down from here!
and this! "
Mason took out four golden bat darts that could be used as fighting knives from his suitcase, and carefully handed them to Master Nightwing.
He said:
"Weapon with cursed metal can quickly weaken the cut enemy, I lend it to you. Remember! Don't let your own blood get on it!
Otherwise, in the rest of your life, when people are neither human nor ghost, don’t say I didn’t warn you. "
"Thanks."
The young master did not reject this "magic weapon", watching Mason turn and leave, he whispered:
"Although your style of doing things is far from ours, I have to admit that having a helper like you in this situation is really reassuring.
You didn't have to do this for Bruce and us. "
"Don't be silly, it's not for the Bat-Family."
Mason walked out of the office full of corpses without looking back. He said:
"I just hate idiots who step into my new life without permission and make no secret of their malice. Also, don't forget, Grayson, I'm a Gotham native too.
This rotten city is undoubtedly a cesspit!
But it's our cesspit.
It's up to us to make it go away, no one else's turn to intervene. "
Five minutes later, with a low roar, an unpainted military-style desert camouflage Batmobile rushed out of the underground garage of the Iceberg Bar.
This vehicle, like a tank, slammed into the vehicles left by the gangsters in front of it. It can be seen that many places on its shell are not even equipped with composite reactive armor and various combat modules.
The main reason is that Mason has only had it for a short time, and there are so many things that it is too late to do more modifications. Even the positioning device hidden in it has just been removed.
But its powertrain is intact.
This means that Mason and Nightwing can cross the entire city in less than half an hour.
Mason, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had been observing Nightwing.
Even though the latter has already put on the very cool and mechanical titanium alloy concept bat suit, he can still see a trace of indelible worry on the half of his face exposed under the helmet.
In the process of driving the Batmobile like a land monster and smashing through the roadblocks and those crazy **** on the chaotic burning street, Mason suddenly said to the silent Nightwing:
"Are you worried about Barbara Gordon?"
"I'm fine, I'm really worried about my girlfriend."
The eldest son didn’t keep his mouth shut, he said:
"Look around, Mason.
Wouldn't you worry if your girlfriend was in the city too? Gordon's police station was among the first to be breached, and he was nowhere to be found. "
"I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't even have female friends, so I'm sorry, but I can't understand your feelings."
Mason shrugged and said:
"But it's too hard for you to do other things when you look out of your mind, so the plan changes! You pick up Barbara Gordon, and I'll send a secure comm to the Batmobile's separate system at the rendezvous point.
Don't use batnet anymore.
That thing is now estimated to have been fully taken over by the Assassins. "
The young man put his hand on Young Master Grayson's shoulder, and said to him in a deep voice:
"You must bring Barbara back, understand?"
"What about you?"
The pure love Ye Yi young master was a little moved by this, he said softly:
"How do you go through the city without the Batmobile? Look here, it's like the end of the world."
"No, this place is far worse than the doomsday, Grayson. In the face of the real doomsday, the joy of Gotham now is as relaxed and happy as the crazy playground."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Put me down at the intersection in front, I have a motorcycle that can fly, and my speed is definitely faster than you. In fact, you are dragging me down along the way.
Be a little self-aware, young master.
Finally, I would like to remind you that Barbara Gordon is really important, and she must be brought back safely! Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life. "
