Chapter 027: Chaos in Gotham (2)
Bruce still didn't respond, the elevator took the four people deep into the underground and finally stopped in a dark cave.
As soon as Bruce stepped onto the platform, the lights around him turned on and the dark cave illuminated.
This is the Batcave, Batman's secret base.
Clark and Diana looked around with curiosity at the furniture and surrounding buildings, particularly focusing on those technological products whose level of technology was significantly superior to the market.
Bruce sat in the main control room seat, turned on the computer, and played an intercepted news on the big screen.
It showed a bust of a man with a hood, a mask shaped like a burlap sack over his face, and what appeared to be a breathing mask over his mouth.
He is Scarecrow.
This was a live broadcast five minutes ago. In the bottom left corner of the live broadcast was a small screen showing a massacre at a restaurant.
On the small screen, a police officer shot and killed nearby citizens like crazy.
And citizens were also killing each other, seeming to be dominated by some kind of hallucination.
They saw Scarecrow saying on the big screen:
"This demonstration was done with just five ounces of my new gas, and tomorrow's demonstration will only seem like child's play."
"Gotham guests, you will only receive this warning..."
Clark looked at the restaurant in the news and felt like he had seen it somewhere.
When he saw the police officer arrested for intentional homicide, he suddenly remembered that it was Officer Owens.
And that restaurant was "Pauli's Diner" that he visited when he first came to Gotham a year ago.
It's also where Clark met Jason Todd.
Scarecrow's words quickly caused panic in Gotham City. Ten minutes later, frightened citizens gathered at the entrance of Gotham Police Station.
The wording was harsh and demanded that the police severely punish the killer.
But I'm not bragging, Gotham Police Department doesn't have this ability.
Except for Commissioner Gordon and his subordinates who can do something, the rest can't even make soy sauce.
Not even Commissioner Gordon could figure out how much of his staff was planted by gangsters.
This has caused him a lot of trouble recently and his hairline has visibly receded.
But the operation to capture Scarecrow didn't progress.
In the darkness of Gotham City, there seems to be an invisible hand obstructing the police and escorting Scarecrow.
Seeing that it was about to pass 24 hours, but the police didn't make any progress, and many citizens started fleeing together.
Those guys who are generally good people couldn't stand this crazy city anymore and fled Gotham with their families.
And the villains who are fed up see it as a paradise, and they party.
They were looting all over the city and no one was afraid of Batman, because the bat hadn't existed for a long time.
He must be dead! The villains take advantage of this opportunity to commit atrocities in the city.
Yesterday there were 6.3 million people in Gotham City.
But not so much today...
The only people left on the streets are those who have taken advantage of the riots.
Criminals, scum, and worse, there aren't enough good people left to stop them.
During these 24 hours, the three members of the Justice League witnessed the fall of the city.
Gotham only took 24 hours to go from peaceful years to hell on earth.
"I never thought order would collapse so quickly." Clark couldn't help but be surprised.
"Even I rarely see such a corrupt situation. Is it really necessary to save this city?"
In truth, Wonder Woman has seen more serious scenes than this. The God of Lies' Wishing Stone also caused great problems worldwide.
But that was because there were the black hands of God ruining the situation behind the scenes, and this was the first time she saw a disaster caused solely by an individual.
Everyone turned their attention to Bruce Wayne, the Dark Knight of Gotham.
In fact, after Scarecrow broadcasted the threatening live transmission, Clark proposed letting the three of them catch the criminals, but Bruce refused.
The man was skeptical of strangers, especially Dane's ideas.
He feared that the three of them would help, but Dane would kill the prisoners directly.
Bruce hasn't given up on his "due process justice".
Perhaps aware of Bruce's determination, Dane didn't intervene in this matter.
But he decided to stay on the sidelines, in case Batman couldn't handle the completely out-of-control situation.
The Justice League is now loosely led by Dane, so neither Clark nor Wonder Woman opposed his decision.
Dane told Bruce that if he can't solve this problem in time, Scarecrow will release the new gas on a large scale.
Then the three of them will act directly, they can't just sit and watch the city turn into a dead city like this, right?
So, in the last 24 hours, not only the police were looking for him, but Bruce was also tracking Scarecrow's footsteps.
