Chapter 3584 The Edge of Tomorrow (Thirty)
"This is too passive," said Halle. "If the terrorists put bomb materials at every subway station in Gotham, and it only takes more than ten minutes to assemble and explode, then there is no way to prevent it unless we carpet-style search."
"Carpet-style search is of course necessary. After all, there is Brenniak. He can find someone to search. Moreover, the raw materials used by the other party are relatively safe and ordinary people can also remove them. However, once the other party finds out that we take action, they may advance the detonation time."
"So what if you send someone to guard all subway stations at the same time?"
“What if it’s not just subway stations?”
Harley rubbed her temples and said, "Powdered explosives are even more difficult to deal with than liquids. And if they can get TNT, they may not be able to get plastic bombs. That thing will not be found by the security machine, and it will be even more troublesome."
"You're right. If it's just a tracing and blockade, it's really passive." Schiller said after a pause. "Our ultimate goal is to get them to terminate the plan. Maybe it's the same if it's just blowing up Diamond Street."
"Will this be a little...ah, wait a moment. We are the bad guys alliance!" Harley's eyes gradually lit up, and she said, "Yes, we are not policemen. Since we know who is causing trouble, then just kill them all?!"
She turned to look at Jack and gave Jack a big smile.
"The clowns have been quiet for too long, making some people think they can rule the city. Now we have to prove that they are very wrong!"
"They only did one wrong thing." Jack played with a big ace in his hand, stood up and moved his shoulders, and smiled crazyly, and said, "They should never... shouldn't play bombs with the clown! Hahahahahaha!"
Gotham Diamond Street, 5:00PM.
When the whole street is overwhelmed and it is difficult to move. The office buildings are still brightly lit, and the majority are those who do not get off work.
The delivery guy rang the bicycle bell and rode quickly over the pedestrian, but was soon stopped outside the cordon.
"What's wrong?" he asked, stretching his neck.
"Investigate the securities company massacre. Witnesses said that the person who started the fight was the famous mercenary death knell. At noon today, someone said he was seen again. In order to catch this cruel guy, we blocked the entire Diamond Street."
"During the investigation, employees and employees' vehicles must have work signs before they can enter. Idle people and others are not allowed to approach. I hope you can cooperate with our work..." A policeman said to the reporter's camera.
"Are you here to deliver food?" A young policeman came over, took the bag from the delivery guy, and said, "Give me the address, we'll find someone to deliver it to you. Don't go in, the mercenary may not have gone far."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Police Officer." The delivery guy smiled at him, turned the front of the car, and rode back in the direction he came.
The young police officer was carrying the takeaway bag and was about to walk inside. The policeman who was standing at the door of the blockade line was in charge of the inspection and looked at the address on the takeaway bag, and then looked at the colleague next to him.
"Let's take it off later." The old policeman with a white temple said with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's now the traffic jam. If you want to walk from here to this address, you have to walk for more than 20 minutes. Why not wait until the traffic jam is blocked and drive over."
"That's right." The young policeman nodded and said, "Then I'll put it there first."
He carried the takeaway bag and walked to the police car. There was a parasol and a table full of coffee. On one side of the table were several other takeaways.
The takeaway bag was put down. The police glanced at the addresses on several other takeaway bags. No exception, the addresses on all the takeaway bags that stayed here pointed to the same building - "Tags Financial Building".
Just as he turned toward the police car, he suddenly saw a purple light reflected on the window of the police car. He suddenly turned around and saw that all the electronic screens on the office building were lit up at the same time.
A figure of green hair in a purple suit appeared on the screen. He made no sound, but just compared a number with his hands.
“3…”
“2…”
“1…”
"boom--!!!!!!!"
The violent explosion smoke rose into the air, and a small cloud of mushrooms rose up on the Gotham skyline. The police hid behind the police car at the moment the purple figure appeared, and the splashed debris left deep marks on the body of the car.
Screams and cries were endless. Fires soared into the sky and smoke filled the sky. This street, often called "the most tragic financial battlefield", finally became a real battlefield.
The Taggs Building, located in the center of the explosion, slowly fell down, and the two buildings next to it were also smashed. Countless cars on the ground were damaged, and people who were not within the explosion range fled in a hurry.
On the distant skyline, Batman, who had just jumped from the helicopter, looked solemnly in the direction of Diamond Street, and slowly spit out a word: "Joker..."
"Is that a clown?" Batman, who fell behind him, frowned, but swung down from the roof faster than Batman injustice, and rushed towards Diamond Street as fast as possible.
By the time they arrived, the aftermath of the explosion had subsided. But just from the state of the scene, you can see how tragic a big explosion it was - half of the street was razed to the ground and the entire street was affected. No one up and down the three buildings could escape the disaster.
Batman, who felt something, suddenly looked up. On the tallest building, he saw the purple figure.
A playing card slowly fell down and just in front of Batman. After landing, it faced upside down. The upside down Joker and "JOKER" were ignited by Mars on the ground and gradually turned into charred ashes.
What made Batman feel most frightened was that the Joker just left like that.
There was no crazy laughter to attract Batman's attention, no jumping in front of Batman and letting him beat him up, nor did he boast about his work and let Batman give him a comment.
He came in silence and disappeared silently, leaving only the playing card representing his identity, but it was more like a cruel and accurate - a fatal joke.
Who is the best criminal in this world?
Is it a clown?
No. Batman thought, the best criminal in this world is the Joker who is not interested in Batman.
Survivors started cars that could still be started and left the dangerous explosion scene as fast as possible, but in such a scene, there were still people going against the road - of course, it was not the police and doctors who came to save people, but the reporters.
A Chevrolet with Gotham TV's logo drifted and flicked its tail in front of Batman. The reporter and the cameraman rushed towards the explosion center with long guns and cannons. The reporters from New Jersey TV behind were no less than that, and they could sprint for a hundred meters with amazing camera equipment.
What Batman didn't know was that Bleniak's voice sounded in their headphones at the same time: "According to Bleniak's estimate, this is the largest urban explosion disaster in the century. And the current situation in the disaster center is stable. If you can get first-hand reports, it will definitely be the best news of the year."
The reporters rushed in like blood, in order to be the first to take pictures of the information about the explosion area. The air force was not willing to fall behind. The helicopters of major TV stations arrived at the scene as quickly as possible, and took telephoto lenses and shot at every corner.
"Hello, Batman. We see you at the scene of the bombing. Have you seen the murderer? According to rumors, the Joker gave a warning three seconds before the explosion. Do you think this is the provocation of this vicious criminal on Diamond Street?"
"Hello, Batman. When did you arrive? Have you recorded the entire process of the explosion? If you want to sell the scene of the explosion, please contact us..."
"Hello, Batman Bleniak said that this case is the most important city bombing of the century, far beyond the Twin Towers terrorist attack. How likely do you think the Joker is the murderer? Can we call him terrorists?"
The two Batman were squeezed to the wall by countless reporters and could not get out. Batman shouted: "Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Let's go out to save people! There are still many people in the ruins..."
He looked at the explosion scene. Logically speaking, the reporters have arrived, so the police must have arrived soon.
But when Batman got rid of the reporter's entanglement and ran towards him, he realized that the police had arrived, but he just pulled a blockade at the explosion site and had no intention of saving people.
Batman wanted to cross the blockade but was stopped. A policeman waved his stick and said, "Don't go over, don't go over! The building is still collapsing! It's very dangerous there, don't go over!"
Batman was about to say something when a reporter rushed to the building was smashed by falling building fragments and was carried into an ambulance by his colleagues.
"There are still many people in the building!" Batman said in a deep voice. "They may not be dead yet, we have to rescue them!"
"Sorry, but the situation in the building is too dangerous now. We can't let anyone in." The police said unyieldingly, "Let people in for rescue may only hurt more people."
Batman couldn't care about that much, so he crossed the blockade line and rushed into the disaster scene. The collapsed debris of the building piled up into a hill. Just as he was thinking about where to start, he heard the sound of wheels rolling in the distance.
A row of police cars drove over from the other side of Diamond Street, followed by heavy machinery, excavators and cranes. Gotham Police Chief Gordon walked out of the car and directed the machinery to remove construction debris.
Batman breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Gordon. Who knew that Gordon didn't give him a good look at all.
"James, I just saw the clown upstairs..."
"You have the nerve to say it?" Gordon said irritably, "Since there is no Batman in our universe, the Joker has never come out again. As soon as you come, the Joker starts committing crimes again. What do you think is going on?!"
"Uh..." Batman was a little embarrassed because he knew what Gordon was saying. He has been in this universe for a while, and it was the first time that the Joker committed the crime. Is it really because they came to Gotham that the Joker appeared?
"Okay. You can't save many people here alone, so don't mess with each other." Gordon waved his hand at him and said impatiently, "I warn you that if you want to chase the clown, it's better not to ruin anything. Otherwise I will make you look good!"
What Batman didn't know was that not far away, a reporter truthfully recorded everything Gordon said, and his mind was circling with what Brenniak said to him.
"There will be a lot of news about the explosion tomorrow morning. But most of them are just reporting the number of casualties. If you can extend other topics from this, you will definitely stand out from a huge amount of reports."
"I've thought about the title of the news." The reporter told Brenniak, "Just called Gotham Police Chief James Gordon revealed: The Diamond Street terrorist attack was actually a clown to intimidate Batman again."
