Chapter 3581 Edge of Tomorrow (Twenty-Seven)
The printer made a slight sound, and sheets of paper were spit out one after another. Cobblepot took out one of the sheets, shook his head and said, "I knew that they not only wanted to attack Brainiac Center, but their real target was Gotham's subway."
"As expected," Harley said, "The old building of Brainiac Center has not been demolished yet. Even if something goes wrong now, at most a few people will be killed. But the Gotham subway is related to the survival and employment of tens of millions of people. If there is a mess, Brainiac cannot escape the blame."
"It seems that they mixed the explosive materials into the latest batch of keel materials and delivered them to the construction site. But they are quite cunning, and we are not sure where they want to detonate. Brainiac, can you calculate the most likely place?"
Before Brainiac could say anything, Harley, who was observing the subway map, said, "I guess it should be here." The tip of her finger pointed to the center of the Gotham map.
"This is it." Pamela turned to Waylon and said, "Wait here for a while. I should be back soon."
Waylon nodded. Pamela opened the door and got out of the car, and her figure quickly disappeared in front of a construction site.
"Let me see... we should go this way..."
Pamela waved her hand gently, and vines emerged from the ground, knocking down the scaffolding at the door. Pamela crawled into the dusty subway station entrance.
As soon as he went down the stairs to the first intersection, he saw fresh footprints. Brainiac's voice came from the headset: "The results of the comparison and analysis of the footprints and body shape show that the person we are looking for is here. The subway tunnel in this section is less than 40% completed. The other party should be within 600 meters of you. The other party should have an MP7 in his hand, so please be careful."
"Got it." Pamela's voice echoed in the empty tunnel.
Schiller, who was standing next to the chemical pool, turned to look out the factory window and said, "It looks like someone is coming."
As he finished speaking, footsteps were clearly audible. Judging from the size and frequency of the sounds, there were many people approaching, and they were fully armed.
Jonathan and Victor were visibly panicking. Schiller immediately pushed them toward the stairs and said, "Go upstairs and be quiet. Don't come out if anyone calls you."
Schiller went up to the second floor with them, but he did not enter the room. Instead, he went up the metal stairs to the third floor, where he found a spot and picked up the sniper rifle he carried with him.
Jack was standing on the first floor, as if he hadn't noticed anything. He kept carrying corpses and throwing them into the chemical pool. He watched the flesh and bones slowly disappear in the chemical pool and hummed a little tune happily.
"Om-"
A faint sound of wind came from the window. Jack tilted his head, and a boomerang flashing with cold light flew past his ear. After the boomerang flew to the end, it stopped in the air for a few seconds and flew back along the original path.
Jack turned his head and saw a figure holding a boomerang jumping in through the window.
"boom--"
The huge shutter door of the chemical plant was opened, and several figures walked in. Jack threw the broken bones in his hand high up, and stood there, looking at them with a smile.
Several figures appeared at the door, from left to right: a yellow-skinned woman with long black hair and tattoos all over her body, wearing a crescent-shaped headdress on her head; a black man holding a sniper rifle and a silenced pistol tied to his wrist; a man with tattoos all over his body and Mexican Day of the Dead makeup; a woman holding a samurai sword; a man in a red uniform holding a rope; and a strong, smooth gray-blue skin... shark???
Jack's eyes stayed on the shark. He was not mistaken, nor was he dreaming, the figure on the far right was a shark.
"Waylon, I think I saw your brother! I took a picture of you!" Jack typed frantically.
Soon, the phone vibrated twice.
"Shit! I'm a freshwater crocodile!!!"
Jack curled his lips, put his phone in his pocket, straightened his purple suit, and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Federal Shield, Task Force X." A black man holding a sniper rifle walked up and said, "We have been ordered to investigate the Diamond Street terrorist attack. Now we think you are a major suspect. Put your hands up."
Jack smiled and raised his hands. But just as he stretched out his arms, everyone on the opposite side paused - there were bombs densely packed under the purple suits.
The people downstairs didn't do anything, but Schiller upstairs started laughing first. Jonathan and Victor, who had been hiding in the room on the second floor, also came out and lay on the stairs to watch the fun.
What they were afraid of was the police and the regular army, not this bunch of weird-looking killers. The other party said he was from the Federal Shield, but he was also hired by Brainiac, so who was more regular?
Victor pulled out his freezing gun, and Jonathan had already changed into his scarecrow costume, but neither of them moved until Schiller upstairs signaled them.
The two returned to the room quietly and opened the window. Victor used dense ice to create a staircase, and the two walked down from the window, walked around the factory gate, and came behind Task Force X.
At this time, everyone received information from these people in their communicators: the man dressed like a witch is the witch, the black man holding a sniper rifle is the Death Shooter, the one with fire in his hands is the Demon of Vengeance, the woman holding a samurai sword is the Katana, the man holding a rope is Slipknot, and the shark is King Shark.
"I guess this is Amanda Waller's doing again." Harley's voice sounded in several people's headphones at the same time, "But why would she go against Brainiac? Because he is smarter than her?"
"It's not necessarily that she wants to go against Brainiac, but someone needs her. She needs to work for them to show her ability." Schiller said, "For her, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she can help them kill Brainiac, the future of Federation Shield will be bright."
"She really put together the Suicide Squad." Harley said, "But without me and the Joker, their fighting power would be greatly reduced. Jack scared them all by himself, haha."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Shark King standing at the side of the team roared and pounced towards Jack.
Jack was also startled. He quickly dodged to the side, but the shark caught up with him again, seemingly not afraid of the bomb on his body at all.
As the saying goes, the stupid ones are afraid of the strong ones, and the strong ones are afraid of the desperate ones. This was the first time I saw Jack who was so desperate that he was chased away in a panic - he was carrying real bombs!
"Fuck! Where did they find these lunatics?" Jack roared on the public channel.
"Is there a possibility that he didn't even know it was a bomb?" Schiller said. "You don't have to panic, because his teammates are more panicked than you."
Jack turned around and saw the member of Task Force X who was standing there posing rushing towards the shark like crazy. It took a lot of effort to stop him.
"Are you crazy?!" Death Shooter shouted at King Shark, "If the bomb on him explodes, it will be enough to blow the entire factory up!"
"Boom...boom...uh..." King Shark uttered a few syllables indistinctly.
Death Shooter covered his forehead.
"'Bomb', 'bomb', do you understand?... You! Aaahhh! Him! BOOM! You! Aaahhh!" Death Shooter spread out his hands, tilted his head back, stuck out his tongue and made a death expression.
When Deadshot's early childhood education was over, Jack was gone when he turned around.
Just as they were about to search for Jack's trace, they heard a few "whoosh" sounds and azure blue ice cones flew over.
An ice spike hit the back of the largest Shark King, freezing him into an ice sculpture; another one was supposed to hit Deadshot, but he dodged it; and another one exploded under Katana's feet, freezing both Katana and Slipknot who was closer to him.
"Who?!" The Death Shooter raised his gun and aimed.
But what he didn't know was that Schiller on the third floor was also aiming at him. He knew that in order to deal with Task Force X, he had to subdue the key figure in it. And the key figure in this team was not the one who was the best fighter, but the one who was the most reliable.
The Death Shooter is known as the most accurate shooter in the world. He can basically hit the target with every shot. Of course, this kind of person should be subdued first.
Schiller replaced the freezing bullets Victor gave him, and when the Death Shooter was aiming his gun around, he shot him under his feet. The freezing bullet exploded and froze him as well.
However, because of this shot, Schiller exposed his position. He immediately retreated, and just as he retreated into the room, two balls of fire appeared where he had been standing. If he hadn't acted quickly, he might have been burned now.
"We need support." Schiller said into the communicator, "Death Bell has almost rested. When can he come?"
"One and a half minutes." The sound of the death knell rang out in the communication channel.
Schiller's heart slowly fell, because Mr. Freeze and Scarecrow on the first floor had already pinned them down.
The combined lethality of these two people is not small. Just as a few members of Task Force X were frozen by the freezing gun, they were hit by the fear gas.
Jonathan threw two fear gas bombs, and everyone was dizzy from the smoke, and they were immersed in their most horrifying scenes and couldn't extricate themselves.
Jonathan winked at Victor, and Victor lifted the freezing blockade. But the few people who came out inhaled the fear gas again and began to roll on the spot.
Only the brainless King Shark was unaffected, but his animal instinct made him dare not approach the two guys. Instead, he was knocked down by an elbow from the crazy witch and rolled on the ground, holding his nose.
"Amanda, is she crazy?" Jonathan said, moving forward. "You're going to use this against Brainiac? They can't even take care of me."
"Don't go over there." Victor pulled him.
"What are you afraid of? They have no ability to resist..." Jonathan didn't care at all and even laughed at Victor for being cowardly.
"Didn't you say you were allergic to seafood? How dare you touch a shark?"
Jonathan walked back quickly. "But then again, they let Shark join the team, they must be targeting me, it's so vicious!"
As he was talking, a yellow and black figure jumped in from the window. Seeing the people rolling on the ground, he just silently put away his weapon and said, "I'm glad you're all okay. Let's go."
"What about them?" Victor looked at the people on the ground.
"We are mercenaries now. The first rule of mercenaries is: do what you are paid for and don't meddle in other people's business. We are accepting an order from Diamond Street, and these people are not within the scope of the mission."
Schiller also came down from upstairs and said, "It's still early, we can still play a few rounds of cards when we get home. Let's go."
Sorry for being late
