Chapter 3592: Edge of Tomorrow (Thirty-Eight)
Before Amanda could even move away, Deathstroke had already knocked everyone down. To be precise, Amanda was blocking his path, but Amanda didn't see how he passed by, and didn't even hear the sound of movement.
Deathstroke knocked them down very quickly. Currently, only Batman could see clearly. This guy used all his limbs perfectly, and every hit was accurate without any unnecessary movements. It was like a fighting show.
If the lunatics in Gotham are proficient in the elegant art of killing, then Deathstroke represents the ultimate aesthetic of violence. Each action is completed as soon as it is taken, and there is no need to adjust it in the middle. The whole process is like a well-designed action movie.
Deathstroke stood among the fallen bodies with his arms folded, and said, "I won't demonstrate my marksmanship. Anyway, I can use any firearm you have heard of, seen, or that already exists in the world. The same goes for cold weapons. That's about it."
Amanda nodded, thinking that this level of display was enough. The main reason was that Deathstroke's strength was basically public, and they had obtained a lot of paper data, so there was no need to go into detail.
"It's my turn next," said the Polka Dot Man. "You can call me Polka Dot Man. My ability is to shoot colored dots. Like this."
He stood there, pursed his lips as if holding his breath for a long time, then stretched out his hand towards the distance. Countless colorful dots flew over and hit the ground, but they didn't even make a hole.
"What's the use of this?" Pamela asked sincerely. She really didn't see what was special about it. It looked a bit like a paint bomb, and it seemed that it had no other function except dyeing.
"This is a high-dimensional bomb," said the polka dot man. "I don't know if you can understand, but these colorful dots are high-dimensional things. If they touch people, they will devour them."
After saying that, he looked at Amanda with some embarrassment, obviously not wanting to use this thing to hit innocent people. Amanda said a few more words into the intercom, and soon two subordinates came over with a cage. In the cage were two white lab rats.
The polka dot man was still a little hesitant, but at Amanda's signal, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the cage. A red polka dot flew over and hit the mouse, and the mouse disappeared instantly.
"Can I understand this as a miniature dimensional portal?" Victor asked.
"Actually, I'm not too sure. Are they dead or teleported? But I think we can't survive in a higher-dimensional world, so they are probably dead." said the Polka Dot Man.
"This ability also has a drawback," he continued, "I have to release the wave points in my body every once in a while, otherwise it might cause an explosion."
"How long is the interval?" Batman asked.
“Sometimes it’s as short as a few hours, and sometimes as long as two or three days. It’s quite frequent.” The Polka Dot Man said, scratching his head.
"Is it enough to just release it, or does it have to hit someone?"
"Just release it, but the area might be a bit large, so you'll have to avoid it. If you get hit, the consequences will be disastrous."
Amanda waved him back. Next to the polka dot man was the black-haired woman. She looked ordinary, not as eye-catching as the polka dot man.
"You can call me Rat Girl," the woman said, "My power is to control rats. Like this."
As soon as she raised her hand, the little white mouse in the other cage began to gnaw the bars of the cage like crazy. It soon gnawed the bars open, then started to spin in circles on the spot like dancing, and squeaked at the mouse girl again.
Pamela couldn't help but smile. She wasn't laughing at her ability, she just thought the mouse was cute when it got lively.
The Rat Girl seemed to feel that her abilities were a little weak, and she was too embarrassed to introduce herself further, so she returned to the team.
Pamela was next. She said, "My code name is Poison Ivy. My power is to manipulate plants. Like this."
She stretched out her hand, and a tree planted next to the training ground shook. A gust of wind blew, and a few leaves fell, and then nothing happened.
"You'd better show that you have the ability to match your salary." Amanda said threateningly, "Otherwise I won't pay you the full salary."
Pamela sighed and said, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I have a stiff neck. Well, this is my true strength."
She stretched out her hand again, and two thin vines broke out of the ground, grabbed one of the instructors' ankles, lifted him up, and dangled him in the air.
"Then you can only get half your salary at most," said Amanda.
"Isn't this possible?!" Pamela was very helpless. Then she thought again: the secret to getting research funding is to show investors a bright future. As for what is actually going on, they don't understand anyway, so just do it casually when the time comes.
Now we are still at the stage of drawing cakes, so we can't be too lazy. We have to let Amanda see his ability, then he will be more generous with the money. As for the actual combat ability, the battlefield situation is too complicated, and even the strongest ability has weaknesses. If you have anything to say, go and talk to the Green of All Things.
Pamela waved at Amanda, asking her to stay away, and then waved at the people behind her, asking them to move further away.
The people behind retreated about ten meters and stopped moving. Pamela had no choice but to turn around and shout, "Further away! Get to the side!"
Victor, who knew the inside story, ran to the edge of the training ground. The others had no choice but to follow him and retreat into the shadows at the edge.
Pamela took a deep breath. The next second, the entire stadium began to shake violently. If the earthquake rating was used, it would be at least around 8.
Even the ground began to crack as if there was an earthquake. The only difference was that huge vines with a diameter of more than ten meters emerged from each crack, and all the thick vines were intertwined and kept climbing upwards.
In a few seconds, the intertwined vines formed a huge world tree, covering the sky of the entire training ground and even the entire teaching base. It can be seen from dozens of kilometers away.
Everyone stared at this scene in stunned silence.
Batman was also shocked. Because in fact, the Poison Ivy in their universe is not that powerful. Although she can also summon plant vines, she relies more on plant toxins to hurt people, and is a magician.
But Pamela's skill tree was obviously wrong. She didn't study plant toxins at all, and directly broke through everything with her own strength. If she was hit by a vine of this size, no serum would be of any use.
Pamela withdrew her hand. The vines disappeared immediately afterwards. But strangely, the ground returned to normal without any cracks. It was unclear whether the cracks were healed by the compression of the earth's crust or whether everything that happened just now was actually magic. In any case, it was as if the vines had never appeared.
"You are so amazing, aren't you?!" said the Polka Dot Man, "Then can you build the largest and most fashionable tree house in the world?"
Pamela smiled at him, but the polka-dot guy blushed and turned his face away.
When it was Victor's turn, he took out his freezing gun and froze a person inside. Then he began to introduce the various properties and application scenarios of dense ice like a lecture, and finally concluded:
"In short, whether it is in terms of preservation and refrigeration or limiting the enemy's combat effectiveness, dense ice has a very good effect. At present, my team and I have also developed various versions of commercial dense ice. You are welcome to go to our official website to order..."
Amanda rolled her eyes and waved him back to the group.
"I heard you froze Gotham?" Batman asked, crossing his arms.
"Ah, that happened a long time ago." Victor said, "My freezing technology was not very mature at that time, and I couldn't achieve precise control, so it was actually an accident..."
The others were a little shocked. A whole megacity was frozen in one go. Maybe the military liked this immature freezing technology.
Then there is the wise man. He didn't show much, just said that he has strong hacking skills and can calculate almost all the data with his brain and predict every possibility.
This ability really can't be demonstrated. But if he really doesn't have superpowers, but still dares to join this team, then he must be quite capable.
Then there is Katana. She is one of the survivors of Team 1. However, her abilities are nothing special, she is just very good at fighting with a katana, and mainly specializes in close combat.
She demonstrated her blocking skills. When the instructors shot at her with pistols, she was able to perfectly block every bullet with her samurai sword, which meant she was good at both offense and defense.
Then there was the man in the blue vest. He said his name was TDK, which was just these three letters, with no special meaning.
His ability was even more outrageous: his two arms could fly away from his body, fight independently, and elbow the enemy from 800 meters away.
When Pamela saw his arms flying off, she really couldn't help laughing and she almost hurt herself internally from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.
Victor still has the spirit of a scientist. He looked at TDK and said, "Then can you hold a gun with your arm? For example, I give you a freezing gun, and then you fly over and shoot them?"
"I'm afraid not." TDK said with some embarrassment, "The suspension capacity is limited, and it can't carry anything too heavy. The upper limit of weight is probably an egg. If it's heavier, it won't be able to fly."
Victor sighed. All of his freezing guns weighed much more than an egg, and there was no other gun in the world that was so light. At most, some knives made of special materials could reach this weight.
"Then this kind of force is not suitable for direct combat." Victor said, "But it would be good for defusing bombs or carrying cameras for reconnaissance work."
Deathstroke and Batman also nodded. However, TDK was a little unconvinced, and he seemed to want to control his fists and knock down the instructors on the opposite side.
But unfortunately, the opponent was also an elite among ordinary humans. After figuring out the pattern of the flying arms, he pinned his arms under his body in a few seconds.
His arms didn't have enough levitation power to lift the heavy object, so he could only struggle in vain.
TDK, who had no arms, had weak points all over his body. He twisted and turned and ended up falling flat on his face.
Pamela couldn't bear to watch it.
The last one was King Shark. Amanda asked the instructor to leave immediately because King Shark hadn't had breakfast yet.
The strong figure staggered to the center of the field, patted his chest and said, "Nanawei! Very strong! Nanawei can eat well!"
"Okay, okay." Amanda stretched out her hand and said, "I know you are very strong. You can go back first."
The Shark King was obviously a little dissatisfied. He looked around and wanted to show his strength like them. Pamela had to take out a piece of fresh and juicy cactus and put it in his mouth. Only then did the Shark King return to his seat with satisfaction.
The last one is the revenge demon. However, he did not show his ability, and his explanation for this is:
"My fire ability is not infinite. Do you see the tattoos on my body? Every time I use my ability, the tattoos will be a little less. When all the tattoos are gone, I will become an ordinary person again and will no longer be able to use my ability."
"I don't want to waste my ability on a demonstration, because maybe I can use it to save and protect others. That's it."
He nodded as well and returned to the team. Amanda opened her arms and said, "I think you all have a good understanding of each other's abilities now. Then we will start the coordination training..."
At this moment, a subordinate rushed in and whispered something in Amanda's ear. After cursing, Amanda said, "Emergency mission. Follow me!"
