Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Gotham is a city built on the coast, and the entire city is surrounded by sea water. It is precisely because of this that it was able to develop in the past with the help of the shipping industry. However, the disadvantage of this terrain is that it is incompatible with land There are only 7 sea-crossing bridges, undersea tunnels, and railroad tracks erected in the air.

The threat of the clown is vivid. Even the great hero of Gotham, Harvey Dent, was assassinated by him. Now his life and death are unknown. After the news came, the confidence of the whole Gotham was severely hit. Although The mayor also announced that he was kidnapped, but returned safely after being rescued by the police. He also transferred 500 National Guard troops to the city in an attempt to save the city's confidence, but these series of measures only made people The city has recovered a little bit from the brink of collapse.

And now, the clown threatened again, this time facing the whole of Gotham... Almost everyone who could move moved, and all the tickets for the ships that were still docked at the Gotham pier were sold out within an hour , Some people even started the business of transporting people away in small yachts, and the train station was overcrowded.

But just the throughput of Gotham port, which has become increasingly chaotic recently, is far from meeting the needs of the city.

There are 8,000,000 people here, even if only one-third of them want to escape from this city, the terrible flow of people is an extremely severe challenge to the construction of public transportation in this city.

Two hours later, the night of Gotham has come, and the forced and helpless citizens can only take the risk of choosing tunnels and bridges, but unfortunately, the mayor has announced that no one can pass through bridges and tunnels... This is of course for their lives For the sake of safety, Mayor Nestor really doesn't want to see the news of someone being injured.

The National Guard was sent by him to bridges and tunnels, using explosives detection equipment, almost inch by inch, to detect danger in every place, two armored vehicles blocked in front of the bridge, and the soldiers pulled up the line of defense with live ammunition. Be prepared to prevent a shock event, in which case chaos would be far more dire than an actual explosion.

The entire city's traffic lines have been completely paralyzed. People who tried to drive out of the city made a big mistake. The crowded traffic flow has been photographed from the port area to the central area. Everyone is honking their horns frantically, knowing that no one will give way to them. There is no way to make way, but the inherent despicableness of human nature is undoubtedly displayed at this moment.

On both sides of the road, there are guys wrestling with each other everywhere, the shadow of death surrounds their heads, laughing wildly, this kind of pressure almost destroys everyone's fragile spirit, only one spark is needed, this kind of destroyed chaos is enough It would turn into bloodshed, and then, like a spark, it would start a prairie fire with more enemies throughout the city.

The whole city was in chaos, and the Gotham Police Department's call to the police was rang within 15 minutes. After Wurtz's death, the gangsters who had been completely terrified surrendered to the clown. Under the order of the boss, they went out in a frenzy and kidnapped everyone who could be kidnapped.

There were gunshots everywhere, and some people took the opportunity to rob, rape, and do things that they would never dare to do on weekdays. The chaos aroused the vile desires in people's hearts, just like adding fuel to the fire.

You see, what the clown said is actually not unreasonable... Under the rapid development of civilization, there are more and more fragile human hearts hidden. You must know that in the barbaric era, there was no such thing as madness. In that era, people like the clown , may be regarded as a prophet-like role.

But when the glamorous cloak of civilization is pulled out in a crazy form, and the real self is exposed to the sun, is this evolution...or degeneration?

This is what the clown wants, to show the ugliest and most ridiculous side of the entire social order in front of everyone, he doesn't need their money, he doesn't need their lives, he just wants to destroy everyone's spirit .

Gotham on this day is like a real hell on earth.

In the dock area, the passenger ship named "Brave" slowly docked. This is a hired ship of the Gotham Port Authority. It was originally used to transport goods and dock workers. Now it has been urgently mobilized to transport these citizens and has been waiting on the shore. Cheers came from the crowd beside them, and they were crowded on the railing of the pier, waving the banknotes in their hands.

The captain proudly said to the first mate,

"It's really hard to get a ticket... I said that when I came to Gotham, there would be good things, and I would dock! Double the ticket... no no no, triple it! We can make another trip before midnight, get off a trip..."

The captain squinted his eyes and looked at the crazy people on the pier, he couldn't even see the side, a sharp light flashed in his eyes,

"Ten times!"

But good things cannot always be occupied by one person. At the moment the "Brave" docked, more than a dozen police cars with live ammunition escorted 7 large prison cars to stop at the port, and the heavily armed police fired into the sky. It took several minutes to clear a path at the pier.

Then the National Guard escorted the mortals wearing orange prison uniforms and chains and ankles out of the prison van. At the front, Mayor Nestor's assistant said forcefully to the captain of the Brave,

"This is an emergency and your ship is requisitioned!"

"Why? It's not legal!"

The captain yelled, he obviously had a chance to make a lot of money, but he encountered such a thing, how could he not go crazy, but the next moment, a major of the National Guard walked over, holding a pistol in his hand, and looked at him indifferently. to the captain,

"We were ordered to escort a group of dangerous criminals out of Gotham. If you don't plan to sail, you can come down. I have someone who can sail... Do you understand? You are not necessary here!"

"But why?"

The captain gritted his teeth and was unwilling to back down. He pointed at the citizens waving their hands wildly on the pier, and at the prisoners who were escorted into the cabin.

"Is the life of a citizen not as valuable as those damned scum?"

"No matter what the clown is planning, he has assembled the remaining power of the entire Gotham gang, and keeping these people related to the gang in Gotham is simply a time bomb..."

The mayor's assistant patted the captain's shoulder and whispered,

"Help, buddy, if all goes well, I can apply for the privilege clause to the Port Authority for you!"

The captain's eyes lit up immediately, he looked up at the dim night, he pursed his lips, the mayor's assistant took out his pocket watch to check the time,

"It's 9:34 p.m. and if we're fast enough, you can come back and do it again... No one's going to have trouble with money, is there?"

"Okay! Let them come up quickly, we will sail in 5 minutes!"

On the other side, a cruise ship full of lucky Gotham locals also left the shore. Everything seemed so normal, except that the government sent the prisoners away first, but left the citizens on the pier Apart from the disgruntled voices of people yelling, everything seemed to be in harmony.

In the basement of the Wayne Building, Lucius is busy manipulating the giant sonar that monitors the entire city in front of him. The large network of ultrasonic and sound collection constructed by mobile phones throughout the city, this middle-aged man is now the uncrowned king of Gotham, As long as he is willing, even the secrets hidden by the mayor can never be hidden from his eyes and ears.

But Lucius won't do that...

"Found it, Wayne!"

Lucius turned on the communicator on his ear, he locked the ultrasonic frequency band in a fixed area, and kept shrinking, finally, he reported a location.

"Fourth Avenue in the dock area, near the construction area of ​​Narrow Island, if I remember correctly, it should be the construction site of Wayne Industries' new Pier 21, he is on the 14th floor... Oh, yes, there are many The hostages are conservatively estimated to be more than 40 people, children, women, and members of the Clown Gang are watching them... No matter what you plan to do, you'd better get them out first!"

"receive!"

Bruce's voice came out, and under the dim night, the Batmobile started in the dark alley and galloped all the way towards the dock area.

Lucius put down the communicator, he looked at the screen in front of him, there was a little struggle on his face, finally, he picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"He's in the construction area on Fourth Avenue in the Docklands..."

Lucius whispered into the microphone, "Serber, Bruce made it past, but I'm afraid he'll make the same choice again, and you're right, Joker... a dangerous figure like him shouldn't be around anymore. "

"Very well, Lucius... this time, I won't give him another chance."

The long knife that was wiped clean reflected Saibo's eyes, which were indifferent eyes. When a person made up his mind, he could see it from his eyes, and his eyes would never lie.

"click"

With the long knife in its sheath, Saibo put down his phone and put the ghost face on his face. He looked back, in the dark living room of the villa, in the mirror, there was a dark red figure reflected in the mirror.

Mottled mask, slender battle armor, trembling dark red cloak, in the darkness, he let out a deep laugh, opened the door, he took a deep breath, and strode into the darkness.

"Are the prisoners still quiet?"

The captain of the Brave took a sip of his drink and looked at the first officer beside him, who nodded, "More than 20 soldiers looked at them, the Gotham government is here for real this time, and the safety of their guns are all on .”

"Well, that's good, let's speed up, I really don't want those scumbags to stay on my boat."

The captain snorted, and he turned the control lever, but the next moment, all the lights on the entire Brave were dimmed, and then turned on again after a while, and the light was much dimmer. The captain froze for a moment, and shouted loudly,

"What happened? Why was the backup power switched?"

As soon as his words fell, the bosun rushed forward with a face full of anxiety,

"Captain! Captain! Our engine failed! Some wires were cut and I saw him jump overboard! That bastard! He's got us here!"

"What?"

Hearing this, the captain suddenly turned his head and saw that the cruise ship that had been advancing side by side with them had also stopped. The lights on the deck were all extinguished. He could still vaguely see several people jumping off the deck. Also encountered the same thing.

"What's going on, who can tell me?"

cried the captain, and the bosun thrust a box into his hands, and he wiped the sweat from his brow, "I found this in the cabin!"

At the same moment, on the Valiant and the cruise ship, the radio was turned on, and the voice that brought terrible disaster to Gotham sounded again, like a bomb that exploded in everyone's heart.

"Hi, ladies and gentlemen...Hello, I'm tonight's game host, you can call me The Joker!"

"Tonight you're going to be part of one of my social experiments, and with the magic of diesel and ammonium dynamite, I'm ready to blow you all to the sky...don't try to find where the bomb is, only I know where it was placed, and who Attempt to disembark, as long as I see it, you will all die!"

"Brave and Flying, you are my chosen subjects to participate in the experiment, listen to me... listen to me patiently, each ship has a detonator, but pay attention, it can detonate another ship, It's 10:17 p.m. and I'm going to blow you all up when midnight hits."

On the Yacht Flying, a young girl screamed, and the whole ship fell into madness instantly. On the Brave, when the first prisoner stood up, the indifferent major aimed his gun at Let him go, open the insurance,

"You! Sit down!"

Before the clown finished speaking, he seemed to feel the restlessness on the two ships. After a few seconds, he spoke again,

"However... But, if one of the ships detonates the other party first, I will mercifully let this ship survive, so, which ship will it be? Who will survive? The damned scum, or Innocent citizens?"

His teasing voice was full of ridicule,

"Look, I said, I want you to participate in the game, now it's up to you to choose the fate of more than 400 people!"

"Oh, yes... Maybe you should choose quickly, because the people on the other ship may not be as noble as you... Putting your life in other people's hands is really stupid, isn't it?"
