Chapter 2451 Battle for the Cloak (7)
Just about ten minutes ago, Poison Ivy and Schiller arrived at the ACE Chemical Plant, which is the largest chemical plant in Gotham City. Although Poison Ivy has been here several times, she has never walked through any of the areas.
.
And because this chemical plant was built relatively early, its internal facilities are not modern enough, the architectural design is not scientific, and the various areas are not clearly divided. Even their own workers occasionally get lost in other areas, so Poison Ivy
I always can't tell the difference between east, west and north as soon as I come in.
But she just watched as Schiller walked freely inside as if he had returned to her own home. First, he passed through the reception office area at the front and went to the archives room at the back, where he found the files for storing raw materials.
Then according to the number on the document, he passed through most of the factory area and found the warehouse where flammable and explosive dangerous goods are stored. Then he found the control room in a corner on the opposite side and successfully opened the safety lock of the warehouse.
The raw materials needed for explosives were successfully obtained.
Poison Ivy didn't see clearly what happened after that. Anyway, Schiller mixed various strange ingredients together in an even stranger way to make a bomb that didn't look like a bomb at all.
They detonated the bomb in the chemical plant. Looking at the smiling face made of the bomb's smoke, Poison Ivy couldn't help but ask a question - are you a little too skilled?
Poison Ivy has not seen the entire process of the Joker's explosion, but she has heard a few words from Harley that it is impossible to compete with a master like Batman on the same stage without being fast.
But Poison Ivy also has a background in chemistry and biology. She knows that making explosives is a very troublesome task. Even the simplest homemade explosives must be prepared multiple times based on the properties of the raw materials before they can be successfully detonated.
But Batman will not give the Joker enough time to prepare, so Poison Ivy has always been a little confused. How did the Joker create explosions one after another when Batman was chasing so closely?
Now she understands that there is no other skill in this thing, just familiarity.
Not counting the time spent traveling inside the chemical plant, the entire bomb-making process only lasted two minutes. Even if all the time for searching for information and transporting raw materials were included, it was less than 10 minutes. Let alone making an explosion. Let's go.
It's not as fast as going to the security booth to steal a pen.
Knowing that Batman would be here soon, the two got back in the car and drove towards Wayne Tower. Poison Ivy asked while driving: "Didn't you say you were a university professor? Do you often create bombings?"
?”
"Not very often," Schiller said, adjusting his tie.
Poison Ivy turned her head and glanced at him with doubtful eyes. She opened her mouth to ask something, but her eyes were soon attracted by other things. The sparse plants on the green belt outside the car also began to turn to look at her.
.
"What the hell, this place is obviously far away from the portal." Poison Ivy's face became serious, and she said: "A few dozen minutes ago, the pollution was far from spreading here, how come it happened so quickly..."
"Is it possible that these plants can be saved?" Schiller asked.
Poison Ivy shook her head and said: "The metabolic system of plants is too slow. Even if we find a way to completely eradicate pollution, it will be difficult for them to completely metabolize these pollutions, and their fibers and cells cannot withstand this.
The tossing.”
Schiller heard the faint sadness in Poison Ivy's voice and knew that these contaminated plants were probably hopeless. This was the same answer he got from Gray Mist.
Gray mist can perfectly replace the polluted energy in plant cells. The problem is that the cells of small flowers and grass are too small and are generated slowly. After such replacement, the cells without an energy source will quickly shrink, leaving the remaining
Those cannot support new cell reconstruction.
"From your perspective, is this a horrific massacre?" Schiller asked knowingly.
"It's worse than that." Poison Ivy looked away and said, "Plant extinction is not uncommon. Whether it is several mass extinctions in the history of the earth or local extinctions caused by various types of pollution after the emergence of humans, it can be called
It’s a natural selection.”
"No matter how many times they become extinct, and how tragic each time is, eventually the oldest indigenous people on earth can always come back to life and grow everywhere again, while all the animals that have experienced extinction with them have disappeared.
In the long river of history.”
"You may find it a little strange why, as an extreme plant conservationist, I am so indifferent to this matter, but in fact I regard plants as a whole, and everything they experience in the cycle of nature is
Their fate, as long as they can regrow new shoots next season, it is not a disaster."
"What annoys me most about this is that the person who released the pollution is trying to use this pollution to transform plants and make them go against their instincts." Poison Ivy looked at the stems that were constantly trying to extend themselves.
The plant that came from the car to hit her, anger gradually rising in her eyes.
"The evolutionary process of plants is a masterpiece of nature. Everything about them serves their survival. This is the only reason why they can survive the extinctions again and again."
"But the damn energy this guy injected into them allowed them to attack me with torsos, leaves and flowers that were not suitable for attack at all. If they couldn't do it, he transformed them into weird and twisted looks. This is really
It’s disgusting.”
Poison Ivy was at a loss for words at the end, and Schiller nodded, indicating that he completely understood what she meant.
Poison Ivy is able to understand the beauty of plants from another non-human aesthetic perspective. Those natural plant structures are the source of this beauty, and the functions they can play are naturally part of the aesthetic process.
But in order to allow them to have some functions that they should not perform, to destroy this body structure, from Poison Ivy's perspective, may be like ordinary people looking at those modified people who have been transformed into tumors and cysts.
The same, as disgusting as you want.
"You know who did it, right?" Poison Ivy suddenly asked, "You came with the answer."
"But I only have one answer, here we are."
The two got out of the car. It was very quiet near Wayne Tower because there were no plants at all.
It's obvious that Batman also used intrusion to destroy the security system when he came here, because his face and body data are different from Arkham Batman's, so there is no way he can get away with it.
He left in such a hurry that he would not have time to repair the security system in detail. Being able to restore the security system near the portal before leaving was already the limit, so Schiller and Poison Ivy quickly took advantage of the loophole and entered.
Wayne Tower.
Poison Ivy was not familiar with the internal structure of Wayne Tower. When she was still thinking about where the replacement liquid storage tanks for the weather control center would be stored, Schiller had already taken her all the way to the special chemical supplies storage through the internal elevator.
Time.
"What on earth is going on?" Poison Ivy was obviously asking Schiller. She even stood there and stared at Schiller in confusion and said: "What is your relationship with the Batman and Joker in your universe? Why do you treat them so badly?"
Do you know your favorite places?"
"I have some relationship with them all." Schiller said while checking the liquid storage tank. To Poison Ivy, this sentence probably meant that I had been involved in the relationship between these two madmen and escaped unscathed.
.
The liquid storage tank that Schiller found was very small, slightly larger than a handbag, and could be carried in his hand. After he opened the storage tank, he asked Poison Ivy to confirm that it was indeed a concentrated neurotoxin.
With reasonable dilution, it can basically bring down everyone in Gotham City.
"The weather control system is no longer working." Poison Ivy said: "Since Peter easily cracked the protective lock last time and used this thing to anesthetize the whole city, Bruce Wayne simply removed the core components inside
Once it is dismantled, how do you plan to release the toxin?"
"This is quite simple." Schiller opened the opening of the liquid storage tank. Under Poison Ivy's gaze, it turned into a mist. When this mist came into contact with the liquid in the storage tank, the liquid began to react with the naked eye.
Visible speed becomes less.
Poison Ivy's eyes widened again. She made this thing, so she knew how powerful it was. After all, half a can of such a small thing could still anesthetize the entire city after being diluted. This shows how poisonous this neurotoxin is.
As a result, Schiller drank it down like a drink. Poison Ivy even suspected that the burp she just heard was an illusion.
Soon Schiller's figure disappeared into the room. Poison Ivy walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to see where Schiller had gone, but she saw nothing. However, after a while, she found that the outside of the glass was fogging again.
The thick fog spread along Wayne Tower and spread out of the city at an incredible speed. Poison Ivy saw that the entire Gotham was being covered with a foggy filter, and the billowing gray fog passed through it.
Every street and alley.
Although it is obvious from directly above, for pedestrians walking on the road, the thin fog is not that easy to notice, and it is no different from the usual bad weather in Gotham.
The main universe Nightwing, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Wayne Manor, just glanced at the gradually fogged glass and returned his attention to the matter at hand.
But Jason and Tim, who were putting their luggage on the second floor, opened their eyes wide. They rushed downstairs like flying and shouted to others: "Quick! Find a sealed room or wear a gas mask!!"
Now there are Robins from two universes gathered in the living room of Wayne Manor, namely Robin from the main universe and Robin from the Arkham universe. Now they are all stuffing food into their mouths, and some are still pouring nutrient solution, because
They knew that they might not have time to eat in the next few dozen hours.
Hearing Jason's shout, they were all stunned for a moment, and turned to look at the two people running down.
"Gas mask! Hurry!!!!"
Dick also ran out of another room and shouted. Seeing their attitude, others instinctively began to look for protective measures.
"It's too late, enter the Batcave and close the door!" Jason waved his hand towards them and said.
All the Robins rushed into the Batcave with cheers. After entering, their eyes widened, and finally all their eyes were focused on Jason.
Jason breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the disaster.
