The next two hours of journey were an eye-opener for both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, but when it comes to what they saw, they still have to start with the current situation of the chaotic gangs in Gotham.
After experiencing the initial large-scale war, the gang families reached a strange balance. After the storm, about thirteen families finally succeeded in gaining a foothold and became the most powerful gang families in Gotham. Of course, among them
Contains the Wayne and Kane families.
But precisely because these two families were leading the gangs, the situation began to run in another direction and got out of control.
Again, Batman and the Joker will compete in every field that humans can touch, and the initial confrontation is an arms race.
Technological confrontation is not just a simple competition of military industry background. Everyone knows that for a technologically powerful country, core technology is the biggest trump card in the arms race.
Weapons that look cool but have little use, such as the Firestorm-enchanted bomb with a bonus of 16, cannot be called core technologies. They require more decisive technologies.
But if you want technology, you have to face a problem, that is, creating technology requires talents.
Most Gotham people's academic qualifications start from prenatal education and end at driving school. Occasionally, there are a few super geniuses who have a flash of inspiration, but most of them are too young and have not received systematic education.
For half a month, Thomas and Martha have been like the frustrated fisherman who prepared the pot but couldn't catch a single fish. It's not that they don't have money or resources. Whether it's experimental raw materials or experimental sites, they have long been exhausted.
Get ready, the problem is without scientists it's all for nothing.
If it was still possible to hire talents from other places in the past, the current situation in Gotham means that those who are smart will not come, and those who come will definitely not be smart.
Again, you never know what price Batman and the Joker are willing to pay in order to defeat each other. The end goal for every frustrated fisherman is to drag the net and harpoon. The two of them gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and the eight major sects
Siege of Arkham!
Both were locals, especially Thomas, who certainly knew where to find the most highly educated scientific talent. What better think tank than Arkham Asylum?
At that time, all kinds of monsters in Arkham Asylum were preparing to break out. Originally, they expected that they might encounter gangsters to stop them, or Batman would descend from the sky and take them back. Of course, they were fully prepared for this.
But again, what is scarier than opening your eyes and seeing Batman or the Joker? That is opening your eyes and seeing Batman and the Joker fighting together.
The fight between these two people always had a sense of disregard for the lives of others. In order to grab more scientists, Thomas and Martha ignored everything and used the most manpower and the most sufficient force to surround Arkham Asylum.
A strict one.
These villains have never seen such a battle before. Batman wishes he had a mute device installed on each of his toes, just for fear that others would know that he has caught the criminal. Now it would be better, the life sentence would be changed to five thunderbolts.
In fact, none of the madmen still in Arkham Asylum are considered martial arts sects. Even the physical strength set by Killer Croc is not very high. The super villains among the martial arts sects, such as Bane, are not.
Trapped, Mr. Freeze had already left long ago.
There is nothing these fighting men can do in the face of real guns and artillery. The biggest trouble they can cause Batman is mental torture. When they find that they can't reason with rocket launchers, missile launchers and machine guns, they
Fully understand the significance of contributing to the development of the Gotham gang family.
As a result, the gangster families almost greedily divided up this group of super villains who needed intelligence, strength and intelligence.
Originally, this group of people followed the gangsters as a temporary measure. Their eloquence could fool even Batman, but couldn't fool ordinary people?
They took this opportunity to sneak out of the asylum first. When they got there, they wanted to run away. Who could stop them?
What stopped them was their rigorous scientific spirit.
One thing to say is that although these super villains in Gotham do not do any serious work every day, judging from their outrageous academic qualifications, they are very academic and have high academic standards, and most of them are not completely academic.
His wild style is more or less academic.
The biggest enemy of scientists is civilian science.
As soon as this group of villains arrived at the laboratory prepared by the gang, everyone was dumbfounded. The place was spacious, the equipment was expensive, and the raw materials were plentiful, but the eggs were useless. The last thing the scientists could bear was a waste of funds.
This cannot be blamed on the gangsters. Except for the leaders of a few families who have this knowledge, most of them have no idea about scientific research. They basically buy whatever equipment is expensive and stockpile whatever raw materials are in short supply. There is no systematic structure at all.
The construction of the laboratory is even more inconsistent. An advanced sterilization room is installed outside the physics laboratory. The medical laboratory is two miles away from the procurement for basic operations. What's more, the high-energy laboratory is next to dangerous chemical raw materials.
There is a smelting furnace under the warehouse and cryogenic laboratory.
It can be said that Gotham's gangsters can still have a chance to continue to do business. Their skills all depend on God's favor. The main theme is that a talented artist can only be bold.
How could this group of serious scientists tolerate this? Suddenly, Batman stopped looking for him and forgot about the slogan of taking back the city. All kinds of villains screamed throughout the process, "Clean up your shabby laboratory and put up the safety regulations."
Come on! Hand sanitizer! Protective clothing!”
This is why Amanda couldn't find any villains who made any noise in this city. Everyone was busy clearing out the civil society.
In the Spencer family's underground biology laboratory, Harley Quinn was sitting on a chair, holding a lollipop in her mouth, looking at Poison Ivy who was knocking bottles and jars in front of the experimental table, her face wrinkled with dissatisfaction.
Said: "Xiao Lu, are you serious? Are you going to do experiments here?"
Poison Ivy sighed, looked at Harley Quinn and said: "I am doing experiments here to prevent them from doing experiments here. As long as I occupy the laboratory, old Spencer's crazy nephew will not come here.
Already."
Just as Harley Quinn was about to say something, Poison Ivy interrupted her and continued: "His crazy plan to stimulate Gotham people's madness by polluting Gotham's underground water and thereby improving the city's wisdom should be discussed with that crazy Scarecrow.
Talk about it, instead of preparing those so-called poisons in the laboratory that stink all over the street - he is insulting poison!"
"Okay, okay." Harley Quinn waved her hand and put the ankle of one leg on the knee of the other. She shook her leg and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the talent in this area..."
As soon as she said this, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. After getting Poison Ivy's response, a gang member walked in. With a smile on his face, he said to Harley Quinn: "Quinn
Miss, it’s like this, we will have a fight in about two days, look at the result..."
"Wait a minute." Harley Quinn waved to him impatiently, then stretched out one hand to grab something in the void, stretched her head over it, and looked in one direction like she was stretching out a window.
He glanced at it and said: "If we can't win, there's no chance."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, you are busy with your work!"
Poison Ivy looked at her with a smile and said, "No talent, huh?"
"You don't know yet? I don't have the patience to do this at all! Forget it, tell me what you are doing. It's not like I don't have the patience to listen to you muttering about plants every time."
"Usually you don't." Poison Ivy lowered her voice, but she wasn't complaining. There was a hint of hesitation in her tone, which was unusual.
Harley Quinn saw her hesitation, so she stood up from the stool and came to the opposite side of the experimental table. She put her hands on the experimental table and looked into Poison Ivy's eyes and said, "What's wrong? Little Green, are you still there?"
Are you bothered by botany and biology?"
"A little bit." Poison Ivy shook her head slightly. She picked up a test tube at hand, stared at the liquid inside and said, "I extracted something from the plants in Gotham."
"Is it some kind of darkness?" Harley Quinn asked vaguely, holding a lollipop in her mouth.
"Yes, what I saw and heard in the Sky Fortress gave me some ideas. I always thought that the mysterious dark characteristics of Gotham's plants were due to the rain that also contained mysterious power. Of course, there may be some of it.
Reasons, but not all."
"What do you suspect?"
"Soil." Poison Ivy put down the test tube, looked blankly, and said while thinking: "If there is a problem with all the metals in Gotham, it constitutes a huge magical position, then the person who caused all this wants to control this
The position is that it is impossible to knock every piece of metal, they must have set up a master control room."
"You think that would be underground?"
Poison Ivy nodded, seeming to be happy that Harley Quinn understood her so well, but she had no time to talk about love now. Instead, she focused on academic content. She said: "Look, if a certain president who has gathered dark power...
The control room is buried underground, so it can affect groundwater and soil at the same time, which can better explain why plants are affected second only to humans. Water and soil account for most of the conditions for plant survival."
"So you are trying to deduce the location of the main control room through the density of darkness on the plants?" Harley Quinn's thoughts immediately caught up.
"Just an idea." Poison Ivy calmed down again. She turned to look at the row of test tubes on the test tube rack and said: "This is not the most important work so far. I guess those crazy people have already produced some results.
Already."
At this moment, another gang member walked in and said: "Hello, excuse me, two ladies, we just received an invitation, which seems to invite you to an academic conference."
"Here we come." Harley Quinn gestured "I really have you" to Poison Ivy, and the two left the laboratory together and headed to the agreed upon location.
The meeting location was in the conference room of Gotham University. The entire university was almost undamaged and the facilities were in good condition. As soon as the two walked in, they discovered that most of Gotham's famous super villains were there.
But this time the person presiding over the meeting was not those familiar faces, but a man wearing an Arab robe and the same white mask, whose image was completely unclear. Harley Quinn recalled it and whispered to Poison Ivy: "He
His codename is the Wizard, um... Felix or Felix? It should be Felix Faust."
"He is traveling with Constantine. I heard he is an evil black magician. He was previously working on his evil plans in the Amazon rainforest. He has not returned to Gotham for a long time."
At this moment, Hugo patted the microphone vigorously and said in a nonchalant voice:
"Everyone is invited here today to conduct a round of voting. The content of the vote is - whether all Gotham residents should exercise their legitimate democratic rights and vote to secede from the federal system of the United States of America and the state of New Jersey to which it belongs!"
Harley Quinn's eyes widened, "No, wait a minute, why do we... um, wait, sss... I mean... how to get out?"
Hugo turned to look at the wizard Felix Faust standing aside.
Standing in the sky fortress in geosynchronous orbit, Robins looked at me and I looked at you. Dick swallowed his saliva first and said: "I have a bad feeling..."
"How long do you think it will take for Gotham people to find out..."
The next second, a black spot grew bigger and bigger in their eyes, and a huge city shrouded in a black magic shield rose into the sky like a rocket.
The Robins were stunned to see a brand new flag slowly rising on the tallest building in Gotham City, the megacity on the east coast of the United States that had just flown up.
Then, tens of millions of people cheered together——
