The Death Knell

?After losing contact with them, Batman immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

If Diana and Arthur lose contact at the same time in some incident, then this incident will undoubtedly be a world-wide crisis, and may even be an annihilation level.

Then, he saw through satellites that countless spacecraft suddenly jumped to geosynchronous orbit.

They have silver metal hulls and engines that emit red light, but at the same time, they still retain their jibs and masts. They look like old-fashioned fishing boats with a very weird style.

The number of ships is overwhelming, like an army of flying insects across the sky, and the entire earth is blocked by them.

From the tails of these spacecrafts, red energy nets were thrown out. These grids merged together to form layers of airtight energy barriers that enveloped the earth.

At the same time, purple seawater fell from the sky, and the sea levels of the oceans on the computer were rising rapidly.

Batman pressed the red button on the control panel.

"The Justice League is calling urgently, the Earth is being invaded, everyone is getting ready."

.............

At the same time, Su Ming was taking two beauties to watch the sea on the top of Wayne Tower.

Barry's cell phone couldn't get through. He probably went to a place with no signal. Although he didn't know if his telecom operator was Wayne Group, the service level was really bad.

"The top of Wayne Tower is safe for now, but my plants..."

Poison Ivy was spinning in circles. Not all plants could survive the flood.

The height of Wayne Tower is over 500 meters. It will take at least ten hours for the flood to reach the top height, but the same cannot be said for Gotham City below.

The tsunami was like a white line, coming from the horizon slowly but really quickly. All you could see was that the huge waves seemed to have no end, as if two worlds were separated.

Batman was prepared.

After experiencing the metal incident and hearing Barry talk about Earth Minus 11, Batman seriously considered facing the tsunami.

He felt he had to be on guard.

So he invested huge sums of money, coupled with some new inventions from Midtown Star Laboratory, to build an energy wall around the entire Gotham City.

When a tsunami comes, some energy generators will rise from the ground in the suburbs to form a hidden line of defense.

This wall uses high-speed flowing air, combined with extremely strong magnetic fields and energy, and the invisible wall will keep the flood out of Gotham City.

But obviously, with Atlantis as the imaginary enemy, he was not fully prepared.

Maybe under normal circumstances, he only needs to block the flood for a while, and Superman and Barry can solve the source of the problem.

But now the whole world is flooded, and both Superman and The Flash need to save people around the world.

The population of the earth is probably less than 7 billion now. No matter how fast they move, it will still take time.

Therefore, Gotham's protection cannot last long, and Gotham's complex sewer system is difficult for Batman to control.

"I see the Bat Family, they're evacuating the citizens."

Through the plants, Ivy saw some masked men taking action in the city. They were putting citizens on planes.

And now that the sun is rising, Su Ming's newly acquired artifact has begun to come in handy. He has seen more than Poison Ivy.

Wherever the sun shines, as long as it is not obscured by magic or divine power, he can see the real-time broadcast as he pleases.

And now he is looking at the situation in various places reflected in the eyepiece.

Perhaps in exchange, Batman obtained the technology from Star Labs and also helped Midtown finance the construction of the 'breakwater', but they chose the Speed ​​Force as the driver.

Several other members of the Lightning family are now like guinea pigs in a roller, running wildly on treadmills to provide energy for the walls.

Of course, there are benefits, because as long as they increase their energy supply, that is, run faster, their breakwaters can be raised.

Nothing will happen to Midtown until they run out of energy.

Other cities are not so lucky.

The metropolis is almost submerged in water, and the water depth has reached the height of a car engine.

This naturally caused car accidents and traffic jams. More importantly, as the purple seawater flowed into the city, humans who came into contact with it almost instantly turned into fish-headed monsters.

"Tsk, if I hadn't seen the Daily Planet building, I would have thought I was looking at Innsmouth. The streets are full of Deep Divers. It's really..."

Su Ming bared his teeth and continued to observe other cities.

Star City was flooded.

Seaside City was also flooded.

Even Washington, D.C., where the Hall of Justice is located, was flooded at this time.

Many guys who turned into fishmen turned around and started attacking others, almost as if they were infected with the zombie virus.

Not eating meat or brains, but dragging others into the water to expand their ranks.

This behavior is obviously dominated by something.

Su Ming sighed. This was what he was most worried about when he was on Earth Minus 11, but now it was a replica of it and appeared in the main world.

The current scale of the attack can rule out the suspicion of Atlantis and the gods. Their power level is not enough.

God can indeed cause a great flood that will destroy the world, but he does not have to turn everyone into fish-men, so this should not be his handiwork.

However, acting together with Poison Ivy and Harley naturally had corresponding benefits. They had no intention of rescuing anyone, which reduced Su Ming's troubles.

Harley even looked at the breakwater with interest, counting how many seconds it held on.

Water has begun to seep in some places. When the water level outside is too high, Gotham's sewers that originally discharged sewage to the sea began to pour back into the city, and a lot of dirty stuff was washed onto the roads.

"This is like a biochemical attack on earth animals." The scene was so disgusting that Su Ming didn't want to watch it. He began to explain to the two women what he had seen before: "No matter what kind of earth animals they are, they will be damaged if they come into contact with this purple liquid." Cause mutations."

"What about the plants?" Poison Ivy asked eagerly.

"You can still contact the plants, which means that the Green of All Things is fine at the moment, but if the sea continues to rise, there is no need for me to tell you, a botanist, what will happen if the plants remain underwater for a long time."

Su Ming told Poison Ivy the truth. She had already decided to act with Harley, but now she was given a reason that she couldn't refuse.

In fact, there is no choice. Now the three of them are at the top of Wayne Tower, trapped on an island in the sea, and only Deathstroke can fly.

Water began to pour out of all the manhole covers in Gotham. It was only a matter of time before the city was flooded. The top priority was to leave here and find a safe place.

Su Ming knew many safe zones, such as Maggie Ken's territory in hell; the Forgotten Bar in the pocket dimension; the magical plane Maia; and even Limbo, the Kingdom of Dreams, and the Land of Death.

These will not be flooded.

But his only magic was fireball, so he obviously couldn't take the two women to those places.

If magic doesn't work, then just take the technological route. Find a spaceship somewhere and hide in space.

"I'm going to find Batman to borrow a spaceship. Please wait for me."

After saying that, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the Batcave, where there must be a way to contact Batman.

He flew quickly through the air and looked at the chaos on the streets below. The mutated fish-men began to attack the residents, and gunshots rang out in the city.

The most indispensable thing in Gotham is gangsters. Some of the gangsters don't want to turn into fish, and the fishman wants to drag them into the water, so they will naturally resist.

Su Ming just glanced at it.

Ordinary people turning into fish will not bring any additional benefits. At most, they can breathe underwater. Ordinary pistol bullets can kill them, which is much easier to deal with than zombies.

But no matter how hard the gangsters struggle, they are only delaying for some time. As the water level rises, they will be soaked sooner or later.

"Madam, hurry into the house and get to the roof."

Gordon and several policemen were patrolling the streets in an assault boat.

An old lady came out to check on the situation with her cat in her arms. She was standing on the steps in front of her house, looking into the water.

Gordon advised her to go home immediately and lock the door. There were more and more murlocs in the water, and these steps were actually not safe.

The heroes' planes have limited capacity and cannot move too many people at one time, so while Gordon stays in the city to maintain order, he also has to notify people to go to the roof to buy time for rescue.

Perhaps it was the sound of the assault boat's engine that attracted the attention of underwater creatures. Some fishmen suddenly appeared from the side of the boat and grabbed several police officers into the water.

Gordon, who was older but experienced in combat, jumped up the front steps of the house before being caught.

And when his men emerged from the water, they were no longer what they were before.

Gordon pushed the old lady through the door and took out his pistol. He planned to guard the door and repel the enemy.

Facing the sudden mutation of human beings, they may have to deal with them as zombies. Although they were all good guys under his command, Gordon had to take action.

However, these fishmen are not completely aquatic creatures, and their combat effectiveness on land is still very good.

They swarmed up, completely ignoring the small revolver in Gordon's hand, and pushed him to the ground, intending to drag him into the water.

But in just the next moment, all their heads fell off.

Gordon struggled out of the pile of corpses and saw a black and yellow armor floating in front of him like a god.

"Director Gordon, I suggest you retreat. Gotham is hopeless."

"Death knell?!"

Gordon's heart skipped a beat. What was this terrifying mercenary doing here?

Was the flood his plan?

Looking at his expression, Su Ming knew that he was thinking wrong, but Gordon was a good hostage. He grabbed Gordon and took him off.

Anyway, you don’t want to retreat, so let’s go together.

Just after he left for a short while, Barbara arrived at the scene of the incident. She only found Gordon's pistol on the stone steps, but did not see where her father had gone.

She's confused as to what to do, when bad news comes over the Birds of Prey communications channel.

Nightwing was shot several times while evacuating civilians, and is now seriously injured and in shock.

"What? Nightwing was shot?" Barbara searched around, but there was still no trace of her father. He might have turned into a fish.

She could only wipe away her tears and continue saving civilians.

She threw out the hook and climbed to a high point, watching the water pouring into the city from the sewers. While letting the civilians board the helicopter in an orderly manner, she asked about Nightwing.

The Huntress on the other side of the communicator told her that it was Nightwing who failed to recognize the gang members he had beaten up when he was evacuating civilians.

After being plotted by several opponents, he was shot several times in the chest and head with short-barreled shotguns.

If the Huntress hadn't happened to pass by, Nightwing would have confessed, but in this situation, he could only find a place for treatment quickly to maintain his life.

Barbara wasn't feeling good.

Who cares about whether the rescued person is a bad person when rescuing someone? And those bastards chose to take revenge at this time, which fully reflects the madness of human nature.

Now Gotham's rescue force is missing two more people, Nightwing, who is seriously injured, and Huntress, who sent him to find a doctor.

Although the Justice League's teleportation device still works, the Hall of Justice is no longer a safe place and is being flooded.

Huntress chose to take Nightwing to Doctor Midnight, whose medical skills could bring Nightwing back from the brink of death with just a roll of bandages.

In this regard, Barbara was helpless. She could only continue to save people, work harder to save people, and take the share of leaving the two of them on her own shoulders.
