- Chapter 568 - Gotham is destroyed and Borderlands is opened
While Peter was thinking about the problem of Boom and Catherine, Zu and Clark returned to the farm.
Seeing the strange girl Catherine, they were a little surprised.
“Dad, I just met a guy.”
Zu looked at Catherine, walked over and said to Peter: “He said his name is Oliver Queen, and he is a billionaire in Star City.”
“Star City? Oliver Queen”
Peter was slightly stunned when he heard the name.
“Yes, that’s the guy who wears a hood and shoots arrows at criminals at night.”
Zu complained to Peter: “To be honest, I don’t quite understand what the purpose of such a guy is, and I don’t understand what kind of guy would like to come out at night as a ‘justice law enforcement officer’.”
Peter listened to Zu’s complaints and looked at him.
You don’t know that Oliver Queen is the hooded man.
“He wanted to investigate the farm, but I beat him up.”
Zu told him about his beating Oliver up.
“Why did he investigate the farm?”
Peter asked Zu.
“He said he had a vivid dream and wanted to know if the dream was true. I think it should be about ‘Flashpoint’.”
Azu said his guess.
“So you beat him up because he wanted to investigate me and the farm?”
“Yes, Dad, usually rich guys like this are malicious and self-righteous, so it’s not unfair to be beaten up.”
Azu said confidently: “Just like Bruce Wayne.”
Peter: “.”
He didn’t realize that this kid still holds grudges.
The conflict with Bruce when he was a child is still remembered and brooding.
“Next time when he comes, don’t do it. The purpose of this guy’s investigation should not be malicious.”
Peter asked Azu to be more friendly.
However
Peter stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Azu was right about one thing. Oliver Queen was indeed a bit perverted.
Every time before executing a bad guy, he would say to him, “You have failed this city.”
Such a guy is not only perverted but also a middle school student.
Every night, Oliver comes out as a superhero.
He decides the life and death of others based on what he believes to be justice.
When it gets dark, a bunch of bad guys die in Star City; when it gets light, Oliver Queen has a few more lives on his hands.
“The Godfather.”
Peter was thinking about Oliver, Clark came over and asked him: “Do you think the behavior of the hooded man in Star City is correct? He killed many people.”
“Well, this is a complicated question.”
Peter thought for a while and said: “It’s complicated, Clark, this world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray. Who he is does not depend on whether he kills people.”
“Every time Green Arrow kills a criminal, the city seems to have one more corner welcoming the long-lost sunshine… But things will not always develop in the direction you hope. When you fight against the dark forces, there will always be someone coming out of the dark to give you a taste of color. You use anger to fight evil, and it will return it with hatred.”
“A superhero driven by anger and responsibility can only use violence, and this violence will eventually lead to death.”
He remembered the ending of Green Arrow, which ended in death.
After his death, the people of Star City erected a statue for him.
The man in the statue wears a hood, holds a bow and arrow, and looks down at the city.
However, that might just be one of the endings of many parallel worlds.
Peter shook his head and pulled his thoughts back.
After lunch, Peter turned on the TV to watch the news.
When he turned on the TV, a piece of news caught his attention.
“Gotham City has an outbreak of a filovirus epidemic. It is said that the origin of this virus comes from the mixing of Ebola virus and ‘needlehead’ virus. So far, the virus has caused more than 600 deaths.”
After hearing the news broadcast, Raven, Wei and Caitlin also came over.
Caitlin, who had a sumptuous lunch, looked at the TV screen in surprise.
It was the first time she saw such a machine with people moving inside.
She quickly realized that this machine should be a tool for recording images.
“Mr. Padrick, where is Gotham? What kind of city is that?”
Catherine asked Peter curiously.
“A city separated from Metropolis by a river.”
Peter kept his eyes on the TV and replied to Catherine: “That is the city of hope in darkness and chaos.”
“Little Cake” asked curiously: “The city of hope in darkness and chaos?”
“Yes.”
He reached out and touched Catherine’s long hair, “It is also a city full of drama and tension, always shrouded in haze, with towering steel buildings, and the smell of decay and sin permeating the streets.”
“It is a hotbed of crime, and all kinds of evil forces are growing and spreading in dark corners.”
Catherine frowned slightly when she heard this, “Is it a city like Zaun?”
“Yes, it is as chaotic as Zaun.”
Peter continued: “In the night of Gotham City, gang fights and crime sprees are common, and the gloomy alleys may hide countless unknown secrets and dangers, but.”
Peter paused and continued: “This city also breeds hope – Batman, a knight in the dark, guarding justice under the night of Gotham and fighting against the so-called evil in his own way. “
“Dark Knight?”
Catherine was stunned for a moment and asked Peter: “Is he the law enforcement officer of Gotham City?”
“No, he’s not a law enforcement officer, he’s just a vigilante.”
Peter shook his head and said: “But he, like the law enforcement officer, protects his city in his own way.”
He thought for a moment and looked into Catherine’s eyes.
Caitlin wants to learn from her the combat experience of a law enforcement officer. Compared to herself, Bruce is obviously more suitable to be “Little Cake”‘s teacher.
Imagine if the “Piltover Policewoman” in the future could carry a long sniper weapon, fight crime with Bruce in Gotham, and kill criminals with one shot from a thousand meters away.
This picture is a little weird.
After coughing, Peter put back his random thoughts.
After seeing the news reported on TV, Peter took out his mobile phone and dialed Bruce’s number.
“Bruce, is there an epidemic in Gotham?”
Please…you…Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\Nine\Book\!)
“Yes, sir, a new type of filovirus with a higher fatality rate has hit Gotham. More than a thousand people have died so far.”
“When did it start?”
Peter asked Bruce with a frown.
“Three days ago.”
Bruce’s voice came from the microphone.
“But don’t worry, sir, I’ve found a similar antibiotic.”
Bruce said that the epidemic in Gotham has gradually stabilized, and more and more people are beginning to be cured and recovered.
“Although this epidemic is a bit sudden, everything is under control.”
“Well, if you need help, Bruce, feel free to contact me.”
After hanging up the phone, Peter exhaled.
Since Bruce said it had been resolved, he naturally believed the other party.
Afternoon, Gotham.
Bruce, who had been up without sleep for three days, sat on a seat in the Batcave and stared at the big screen in front of him.
“Master, you should have a good rest.”
Alfred the butler handed over a cup of coffee.
“As long as I get this sorted out, I can have a perfect vacation.”
Bruce shook his head and said.
“If you told Mr. Peter this, you might not be so stressed.”
Alfred said with some distress.
Bruce stood up and was about to speak when the ground suddenly shook violently.
The ground in the Batcave shook, and countless experimental instruments fell from the shelves to the ground, making dull sounds.
And the monitor equipment in front of him was all turned off with a “swish”.
The lights above the two of them also flickered.
On the streets of Gotham.
There was a deafening roar in the distance, as shocking as thunder.
The sound is getting closer and closer, heading towards the city.
At first, there was a low roar from the ground, like thunder in the ears.
As time went on, the roar grew louder, the ground began to shake violently, and deep cracks appeared in the streets.
Gotham’s tall buildings collapsed in a matter of seconds, dust filled the air, and it instantly turned into a purgatory.
A sudden earthquake caused chaos in Gotham.
In the epicenter of the earthquake, the situation was even more serious. Some old or structurally weak buildings collapsed directly and became ruins.
Store shelves collapsed in the shock, and merchandise was scattered all over the floor in a mess.
Food and daily necessities in the supermarket were shaken to pieces, and some were even shattered.
Tableware and kitchen utensils in the restaurant were not spared, and fragments were scattered everywhere, accompanied by people’s screams and cries.
Panic-stricken citizens ran through the streets in search of safe shelter.
Some were holding children, and some were supporting old people. Their faces were all full of fear and anxiety.
The vehicles on the road have also lost their usual order. Some are parked on the roadside, while others are driving away in a hurry, trying to stay away from this dangerous place.
However, many vehicles were stranded on the roads due to road damage and traffic congestion caused by the earthquake.
“what happened?!”
In the Batcave, Alfred asked Bruce in shock.
“It should be an earthquake.”
The expression on Bruce’s face turned a little ugly.
“There was an earthquake in Gotham City. Many buildings were damaged. It is estimated that thousands of people will die.”
Sit down, Bruce said while working on the computer that was not finished yet.
“The earthquake was about 7.6 on the Richter scale.”
As he spoke, he operated the computer and said to the butler: “Gotham has suffered a lot of trauma, and it is very likely that there will be greater trouble later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a “click”, the lights in the Batcave went out, and it suddenly fell into darkness.
