The Death Knell

Originally, this tidal power station was very good. In the early years, Gotham used a hydropower station on the Gotham River. However, as long as water is used to generate electricity, a dam must be built to store water.

The hydropower station is located upstream of the river, on a higher ground. Back then, the madmen in the city would always ask Batman to play games. If they didn't play, they would blow up the dam and drown all the people in the city in their sleep.

The Bat Family has blocked such plans time and time again, but over time, they have become tired of it.

As a rich man, he should be bold in his thinking, so Batman directly bought the hydropower station and transformed it into a sewage treatment facility.

Not long ago, people drowned there. It was next to the sewage treatment plant. It is now called the Gotham Reservoir, but the water level is no longer as high as it used to be.

Bat spent his own money to build a new tidal power station, and at the same time, he also pulled the line of the nuclear power station from the metropolis. The reservoir of the tidal power station is on the seaside. Even if someone blows up the dam, the water will only flow into the sea. Now That's no problem.

Originally, the tidal power station was operating well. Whether it made money or not was secondary, but safety was the main concern.

But in the "Sinking of the Earth" incident, everyone knew that the alien Poseidon flooded almost the entire Earth, and Gotham at that time completely sank to the bottom of the sea.

Since then, the tidal power station has been temporarily suspended and is waiting for maintenance. After all, most technological equipment is not waterproof.

But later, the Laughing Bat came to Gotham for one last laugh, and what followed was a series of events. Recently, Batman became poor, and the date for the power station to be restarted is far away.

Now it seems that there is a smart guy who used Bruce's factory to do some bad things. What a clever little guy.

After finishing her snack, Barbara wiped her mouth clean while several people were talking. After she once again used the Internet to determine whether the power plant belonged to Wayne Enterprises, she put on her hood:

"That's no problem. It doesn't matter even if we blow it up."

"Phew! Look at the prodigal tone." The orangutan smiled and straightened his little hat: "But times have changed. Batman has no money now. What if he blows it up? How can he ask us to pay for it?" manage?"

But Batgirl shook her head, entered the password to lock the computer, turned around with a smile and touched the gorilla's head:

"The concept of 'no money' for rich people is different from that of poor people. Catwoman took away most of Wayne Enterprises' liquidity, but this does not mean that Bruce is bankrupt. For example, the equipment I have here, among which There is a supercomputer, which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is usually idle, and he never said to take it back and sell it."

Damian crossed his arms and added: "He also has hundreds of safe houses all over the world, and each safe house has a similar configuration to this one. To him, this is a fixed asset."

After listening to what these people said, the orangutan's mouth turned completely to one side. Although these two children were just telling the truth, why did Batman's image seem to become less and less human?

Bat-like reasoning brings everyone to the old corner of Gotham City. In history, it is said that the first place where several major families arrived was near the south coast. They built castles and inns here and started their journey to the United States. Dream.

But obviously this dream has turned into a nightmare at this time. Among the heirs of several major families, no one is normal.

The Court of Owls includes most of the old wealthy families. All of them were dead before, and the survivors are other animals, such as penguins and bats.

But bats are also one of the midnight shadows that haunt the city.

"The sewer is indeed the most convenient and fastest means of transportation. The person who invented the subway is really a genius." ** sat cross-legged on the flying carpet, looking up at the death knell tinkering under a manhole cover not far away.

"The person who invented the subway probably just didn't want the rail transit to take up space on the ground." Damian looked like a little adult, seriously waiting for the new order. After listening to the orangutan's words, he retorted in a good mood. .

Under normal circumstances, if others say something wrong, he doesn't even bother to respond.

"It's just a joke, kid." The orangutan rolled his eyes. He patted the boy on the shoulder with his pipe in his mouth and said in an experienced tone: "If you want to often act with Deathstroke, you must adapt to the sewer transportation method. And all kinds of bad jokes, if you don’t even have this sense of humor, you won’t be likable.”

Da Mi narrowed his eyes, pinched his chin with his thumb and index finger, and nodded slowly.

Is that so? Is a sense of humor something this man values? That's right. He can obviously handle many things by himself, but he still has to bring a few people to cooperate. Maybe he prefers to have someone to chat with, right?

understood.

After thinking for a while, the boy nodded politely to the woman and expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

Su Ming asked Hangsha to peek out from under the fence on the side of the sewer street. This place had entered the scope of the power station, but no living people were seen on the dam, and the surface still looked abandoned.

He stepped back and sat on the flying carpet again:

"Let's go. The generator sets of the tidal power station are all at the bottom of the dam. Let's find an entrance and sneak into the dam."

The sewer sewage will first enter some treatment facilities here, and then be discharged into the reservoir separated by the dam in the inland area. When the tide rises, it will generate electricity together with the sea water. The relationship between Batman and Poison Ivy has improved a lot in recent years. Maybe it is Because his environmental protection philosophy has kept up.

However, the sewer is currently temporarily blocked, the power plant is shut down, and the natural sewage treatment plant is also shut down.

Su Ming and his team passed through these underground factories for sewage purification, left the sewers above the sedimentation pool, then found the employee passage of the underground factory, and walked towards the dam.

Soon everyone saw a bright light ahead, and there were signs of human activity here.

Su Ming made a tactical gesture and nodded his eyes with his fingers. Everyone nodded understandingly. Although the conventional gesture is to point two fingers at the eyes to express surveillance, who said the death knell only has one eye?

Putting on their cloaks, the three men and one ape lay down behind a gate and looked at the place where the light came from. There was an elevator and a simple checkpoint there.

Many soldiers with crazy haircuts were busy moving goods. It seemed that they were planning to take the soybeans to the top of the dam in small cars.

However, if it was really a visitor from another world who organized all this, what was his purpose in selling radioactive soybeans? With such a large amount of manpower and material resources invested, selling a low-tech product like canned food for fifteen dollars will definitely not make the money back.

Damian patted Deathstroke on the shoulder and pointed towards the door. There was a strong man there who was an acquaintance of everyone. You can ask him for news later.

When Barbara saw the man, she even snickered, not knowing why.

Su Ming nodded as he watched them move the cans out of the underground passage of the factory and put them on the small truck, which could set off at any time.

Next, the three of them flew out of the bunker and charged, knocking down all the guards one by one.

After all, they are just common Gotham street gangsters, so there is no need to expect them to have any room for resistance. The one who met Barbara was fine. The girl just likes to knock people out, but not if Damian is targeting them. Paraplegia means fractures, and the young man's actions are in a standard dark style.

Within a few breaths, three black cloaks flew up and down, and the soldiers fell one by one. In the end, only the strong man was left, squatting at the door timidly, raising his hands in surrender somewhat comically:

"Don't hit me, I'll say anything!"
