The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 67 19. The code name of the operation is "Operation Rescue Bat Boy"--[250]

(Added update for the "Anlos" brothers)

"Give him a blood supplement every three hours. If the wound cannot heal, make sure that he does not become weak due to excessive blood loss."

When the members of Team K were preparing to set off, Mason handed two boxes of potions of different colors to Alfred the butler who was taking care of Bruce Wayne.

He said:

"He is fighting for control of his body with the water in the Lazarus Pool, and these potions are used to replenish his energy. Drinking the blue vitality potion once every two hours can soothe his spirit.

In addition, I must ask, based on your knowledge, do you think there is anyone trustworthy in the Bat Family at present?"

Facing Mason's inquiry, the old housekeeper pursed his lips and said:

"Master Dick is trustworthy, I can confirm this."

"Well, that is to say, except for the young men trained by Bruce himself, everyone else has reasons to hate or alienate Batman, right?"

Mason curled his lips and said:

"This shows that Bruce should really review his attitude towards the people around him. Ah Fu, I need a mobile phone and access to the Bat Network."

He emphasized:

"I mean the one without the tracking and eavesdropping software, and the pheromone tag on my body that has expired. I don't want to see it appear again."

"You know everything?"

Alfred glanced at Mason in surprise,

The young man pointed at the magic apartment hidden in the suitcase, and he said to the old housekeeper in front of him:

"Do you think I, who can do these things, don't know the little tricks Bruce did on me? I just pretended not to know to show my sincerity.

He really needs to change his habit of not trusting others.

Anyway, because we are about to start taking action, I must ask you three to leave now. Do you still have a stronghold in Gotham that can guarantee safety?"

"have."

The old butler put away the potion, took out an old flip phone and handed it to Mason and said:

"Put us and the young master at the entrance of Crime Alley, Mason. I will take him to a safe place. When you come back, I will use this to contact you and tell you the specific location."

"Well, Gotham may not be peaceful these days."

mason said:

"Try to keep a low profile and don't blindly contact outside support when safety cannot be guaranteed. It will be very troublesome if you are reversely traced."

Twenty minutes later, Mason, wearing an invisibility cloak, appeared in the booth on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar carrying a suitcase. The other three people had already put on their suits and were fully prepared for action.

Among them, Catwoman, who has always been lazy, is particularly murderous.

That indifferent look made Mason not hesitate to ask her to slay a dragon, but she would rush forward with her sword and face the dragon fire without hesitation. This is probably the great power called love?

"The world of Hogwarts is an open world. Everyone, we may meet other members of the Star Society there, so the faster we act, the better."

While Mason put the energy stone into the door of the world, he twisted the brass door handle and said to the three people behind him:

"When we are weak, I really don't want to deal with our 'peers' prematurely. Oh, by the way, Charles, have you told our two friends about the possible dangers of this trip?

About the dragon that almost killed you before."

"dragon?"

Zha Kang, who was playing with a pile of processed cursed gold coins in his hand, widened his eyes. The black magician blew smoke rings and said:

"Let me confirm first, is the dragon you are talking about the kind of fire-breathing, flying lizard I know?"

"It's scarier than that, John."

Charles said coquettishly next to him:

"Not only can that thing breathe fire and fly, it's also a ferocious zombie dragon. Everything in that world has been infected by the damn zombie virus.

I suspect unicorns may also become something that gives us nightmares when we see them.”

"Won't."

Mason opened the door and put on his full-face helmet, saying:

"The unicorn is a pure creature and is naturally invulnerable to all poisons. It may be infected but it will not completely become a zombie like other creatures, which means that the effect of their blood may be weakened.

But it must still be useful.

The more difficult problem now is that we have to find Selena first, and it depends on you to survive."

"Um?"

Catwoman, who was focused on saving her lover, was stunned for a moment. She put on the cat-eared battle helmet and said:

"What do you want me to do? Attract unicorns?"

"This won't work!"

Zha Kang also helped by saying:

"Unicorns are only attracted to pure virgins. Although Selena is very charming, she is definitely not pure anymore. Look at the dirty words she usually says are much smoother than a prodigal like me."

"So you're telling me that before we go out to save Batboy, we have to find a way to kidnap a virgin in Gotham?"

Mason turned back and complained:

"Is there such a thing in Gotham? I'm afraid you have to go to the kindergarten to find it."

Team K passed through the World Gate and entered King's Cross Station.

Mason used the World Key to temporarily store the direction of the World Gate behind him. He did not intend to waste time by taking a magic train every time he came here.

He wants to place the Gate to the World directly in the ruins of Hogwarts.

Then they encountered a "warm welcome" from a group of zombies, but they were surrounded by the Kite Man, who was no longer what he used to be.

Under the swarm bombardment of engineering bombs, the four people quickly entered Station Nine and Three-Quarters. Before leaving, Mason asked Zha Kang to repair the station's magic barrier and add several additional concealment functions to it.

of magic circle.

If there are other members of the Society of Stars coming in and out of this world, then Mason doesn't want to give up to others the good place that Old K spent his life exploring.

After getting on the magic train, Mason went to the locomotive as usual and used character cards to analyze the drawings of the alchemy engine. With both alchemy and engineering improved, the drawing analysis speed was much faster.

But while he was busy studying this unscientific thing, Catwoman's voice sounded above his head:

"What are you doing?"

Mason raised his head and saw Selina climbing down from the roof of the car like a dexterous cat and landing next to him. The young man glanced at her and said:

"We are doing research. Why are you coming here if you don't want to rest? Are you worried about Bruce?"

"A little flustered."

Catwoman didn't hide anything. She pulled up the stool at the front of the car and sat by the window. She fidgeted and took out a pack of women's cigarettes, but was stopped by Mason's eyes.

"I'm a minor."

The young man said:

"Don't do this kind of thing in front of me. Zha Kang is already hopeless but you are still alive."

"Well, you little guy is becoming more and more dignified as a captain."

Catwoman curled her lips and watched silently as Mason tinkered with the strange silver-gray engine in front of her. After a few minutes of silence, Selina said hoarsely:

"If we can't get the unicorn's blood back"

"He will be fine."

Mason said without raising his head:

"The paradise island where Wonder Woman was born contains the knowledge left by the gods of Olympus. I believe there should be medicine there that can save Bruce.

The only problem is finding a way to contact her.

Selena, don't worry too much.

You have to believe that your lover is the son of destiny who is loved by the world. He has escaped death several times, and this time he will not be lost in the hands of a group of guys who hide their heads and tail."

"I wish I was as calm and optimistic as you, Mason."

Catwoman covered her face and said:

"But I have never seen him injured like this. Not only was his body devastated, I could even feel the exhaustion and pain in his soul when I kissed him.

It's just like.

It was as if he himself had admitted failure.

I've never seen him like this."

"Then you should think about what defeated Bruce Wayne?"

Mason's tone remained unchanged.

With the help of his improved engineering skills, he finally succeeded in taking apart the casing of the train engine with a strange-looking engineering wrench.

Amidst the harsh metallic sound, the young man waved his wrench and struck while saying:

"Is it the unknown attacker, or Batman himself? Have you never doubted who attacked him? And who betrayed him at the critical moment?"

"Um?"

Catwoman suddenly raised her head, looked at Mason and said:

"Do you have an answer?"

"I always had the answer, Selena. I even predicted this would happen, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

The young man said in a playful tone:

"Is it possible that Batman will lose so miserably tonight not because he is not as powerful as the attacker? It is because the psychological burden caused by some bad things in the past broke out tonight, making the emotions of guilt and pain precede Defeated his will before his body collapsed?

I'm really not kidding, Selena.

After this incident, Bruce really needs to reflect on the way he handles certain things.

He broke the hearts of his family but was not aware of the resentment and sadness. Perhaps because he lost his parents when he was young, Batman is really slow in this regard.

Deep down he longs for a home.

But he always destroys it with his own hands.

This may be one of the reasons why I don't want to be Robin."

"You said you hated the Riddler."

Catwoman accused expressionlessly:

"But you're turning into the Riddler! Make it clear, Mason."

"No need."

Mason looked up from the complex operation of the engine, showed a smile, and said:

"The answer will be revealed soon. Let's focus on this matter now. The Forbidden Forest is really dangerous. Although Old K helped us get rid of two dangerous creatures, we still have to trek in it. Be vigilant.

There are some things in there that, well, cannot be measured by common sense."

——

Mason soon discovered that he actually had the gift of a "crow's mouth".

As soon as they entered the Forbidden Forest, they were attacked by a group of zombie centaurs. Those tall guys whose upper body was a human and lower body was a horse galloping through the forest with amazing momentum.

But the good news is that as zombies, they have lost the wisdom of hunting and no longer know how to use frightening bows, arrows and spears. At most, they are just a group of fast-moving, powerful alien zombies.

It didn't cause much trouble in front of the prepared K team, but was solved by Mason with bullets.

The noise of the battle also attracted a hippogriff.

But it shouldn't be the one Hagrid tamed.

This flying guy was blown down from the sky by Kite Man with shotguns and bombs, and was cut off by Catwoman with a sword before he stopped.

"Cut off the tails of the centaurs and collect as much mane as possible. These are all excellent crafting materials. Zha Kang, don't take out their internal organs, okay?

The internal organs of the zombie-turned-creature have dissolved.

Damn, that’s disgusting.”

Mason directed his team members to collect the loot, and he took out Hagrid's hunting knife and started trying to skin it.

He inserted the sharp hunting knife into the Hippogriff's abdomen and cut it smoothly, but he was always a little confused on the first try, even if he had read the relevant information before.

"Successfully completed an inferior leather acquisition, the collection skills (skinning) branch is opened, currently Lv0"

Mason looked at the prompt, then looked at the messy and dirty leather that he had peeled off at his feet, and he couldn't help but groan with a headache. This thing was really not as simple as he thought.

But soon, the young man heard some strange sounds.

He raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky of the Forbidden Forest, and saw several black shadows flying towards him.

Those guys are the same as Pegasus, but they are all dark and skinny. Their appearance is already hideous and foreboding, and the effect of zombie transformation makes them look like skeletal war horses.

"Thestrals."

Mason breathed a sigh of relief and raised his blaster shotgun.

Catwoman next to him looked at the sky in surprise and said:

"What are you aiming for?"

"You can't see it if you haven't experienced death. Don't bother, Selina. Look around for any unicorn manes that have fallen off.

It’s easy to spot, white or off-white.”

Mason explained and then pulled the trigger.

Amidst the low gunshots, the sky burst into blood. Four consecutive headshot executions gave Mason a substantial increase in proficiency and gave him four more trophies that he could practice skinning.

"This is for you, John."

Mason took off the little horn on the head of the Thestral that looked like a dragon, threw it to Zha Kang, and said:

"Research how to use it."

"I really like this place, Mason."

Constantine held the cigarette in his mouth and pinched the blood-stained corner. His eyes sparkled with the curiosity of a magician, and he said to Mason:

"I won't go back to Gotham with you. I want to stay here and establish a stronghold! There must be many things in this forest that interest me.

You know, Batboy will definitely be suspicious when he sees me hanging out with you when he wakes up.

And I really don’t like the guy who might have some mysterious past with my ex-girlfriend.”

"up to you."

While Mason carefully peeled off the light and tough leather of the Thestral, he said to Zha Kang without raising his head:

"You can recruit some servants in the Caribbean world. This forest is very large and rich in resources. If you want, I can leave Old K's magic apartment here as your 'Mage Tower'.

Charles, come!"

He called to the kite man who was standing guard next to him, picked up the unique wings of the Thestral and said to Charles:

"Look at this thing. How about using it as a material for your kite upgrade plan? Look at this material. It is much tougher than ordinary materials. It can even be bulletproof after being treated with alchemy and enchantment."

"OK!"

Kite Man also looked at the rather huge wings in his hands with bright eyes. He already had several ideas in his mind. He was about to discuss it with Mason when he heard Catwoman shouting:

"Come here, guys! Look what I found."

The three people immediately moved in the direction of Catwoman. Selina held a very light and beautiful white mane in her hand and pointed to the broken bush at her feet and said:

"If this is the unicorn's mane, then we can follow this path to find it."

Mason took the soft but very tough mane and examined it in his hand. The character card quickly gave an information label:

Unicorn tail mane

Quality: Epic Tailoring Materials Pollution

Item description: The power of darkness is corroding the pure things, you'd better find it quickly

"The good news is, the unicorn is not zombified and Selena doesn't have to pretend to be a virgin to attract it."

Mason put away his tail mane, raised his gun and said to the team members:

"The bad news is, it may not hold up. Quick! Zha Kang, do something. This is your area of ​​expertise."

"If you call me Zha Kang again, I will stuff this magic into your mouth!"

Constantine threatened fiercely and threw down a ball of green fluorescence. After he cast the spell, scattered traces soon appeared in the dark forest in front of him.

Zha Kang observed it, frowned and said:

"No! This footprint is not just one, there are at least two unicorns wandering here."

"The sound of horse hooves! Boss, those zombie centaurs are here again!"

The kite man soon heard a large tremor in the forest. Mason frowned and waved his hand, saying:

"Charles, prepare for swarm bombing! The bat cubs waiting for food are still waiting for us to go back and rescue them. We don't have time to deal with these lingering guys now.

Selena, put on an invisibility cloak to help.

John, maintain the tracking magic, let's go to the front and have a look."

Get ready to go! Happy 2023 and wish everything goes well this year~
