Time flies like a river, day and night, and in a flash, a long time has passed since Bruce Wayne's spine was broken by Bane.
Bane stole the weapons developed by Wayne Group and the nuclear core of the nuclear energy equipment, and announced to all Gotham citizens in the stadium that if anyone attempted to leave Gotham City, he would detonate the nuclear weapon.
Gotham City's stadium was bombed, the roads on several streets collapsed, and the bridges and other entrances and exits to Gotham City were all blown up or sealed off.
Bane gave a speech in front of Blackgate Prison and exposed the true cause of Harvey Dent's Death, clearing Batman's name.
And released all the prisoners in Blackgate Prison who were arrested because of the Harvey Dent Act!
On this day, Gotham City, which had become a no man's land, completely fell into chaos.
Earth-shattering changes, like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.
Gotham City, which was originally known for its simple folk customs, seemed to have turned into a primitive hunting ground, where only the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, was practiced!
The poor had only two options: either stay locked up at home with windows and doors tightly shut, or go out and join the ranks of criminals, following them in zero-dollar shopping sprees.
Compared to the poor who still had choices, the rich suffered.
Their homes became playgrounds for criminals, who smashed, looted, burned, and wantonly destroyed. They were even taken to face a public trial by Jonathan Klein, also known as Scarecrow.
Scarecrow held a show trial, in the form of a sentencing hearing, to give Gotham City's wealthiest citizens a choice between Death and exile.
Those who chose "exile" would be required to cross the thick ice on the frozen river connecting Gotham City and the other side, which would almost certainly cause them to fall through the thin ice and drown.
Yes, Gotham City had entered winter and was starting to get cold!
"Bang bang bang -- bang bang bang --" The chaotic gunshots disturbed peaceful sleep.
Samuel stretched, opened the system, and looked at the detection range column.
[Detection Range]: 2100 meters (Upgradeable!)
He casually clicked upgrade, and it instantly became:
[Detection Range]: 2200 meters
Although this World, or rather Gotham City, doesn't have various interesting or powerful abilities, chaos and battles are happening here almost all the time.
Especially after the prisoners in Blackgate Prison were released, the sporadic battle rewards have almost never stopped.
Getting up, getting dressed, and walking out of the bedroom, Samuel greeted the figure making coffee: "Why didn't you sleep in?"
Miranda turned around, smiled, and handed the freshly poured coffee to Samuel.
"Bruce Wayne is back."
"Huh?"
"Last night, Bruce Wayne rescued Commissioner Gordon and several other Police officers who were betrayed and exiled."
"Half an hour ago, he came here to seek help from Selina, hoping that Selina could use the Batpod to clear a blocked exit, and Selina agreed."
Miranda's tone was very calm, seemingly not surprised by Bruce Wayne's return, nor angry or worried about Selina's help.
Looking at Samuel's probing gaze, Miranda smiled confidently and said, "Bane can defeat Bruce Wayne once, and he can defeat him a second time. Even if he comes back, it won't change Gotham City's fate of being destroyed."
"According to the plan, in a few days will be the day to activate the nuclear weapon and flatten Gotham City!"
As for Selina agreeing to help Bruce Wayne, Miranda didn't care, because Selina was also a Gothamite, and it was normal for her not to want Gotham City to be destroyed.
Besides, Selina also said that she would only use the Batpod to blast open the passage and would not participate in the battle.
With Super Catwoman, who was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, not participating in the battle, the time to detonate the nuclear weapon is close at hand, and there is also himself, the 'undercover' whose identity has not been exposed. How can Bruce Wayne win alone?!
Samuel took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "So confident?"
Miranda smiled charmingly: "Anyway, even if I lose, I've already paid the bet in advance, so now I'm only thinking about one thing, and that is to win!"
"Then I wish you good luck!"
"I will."
Miranda, who was convinced she would have good luck, left. Samuel drank his coffee, waved his hand to open the portal, and walked in.
On the other side of the portal.
In front of a tunnel entrance firmly blocked by various discarded materials, Selina, wearing her Catwoman costume, sat on the Batpod, her two long legs propped on the ground, waiting for the agreed-upon signal to act.
Seeing Samuel appear with a coffee cup, Selina quickly wanted to explain, but Samuel smiled and shook his head.
"I don't need puppets or dolls without their own will. As long as you don't betray me, don't go against my will, and complete the tasks I assign, it's your freedom to do whatever you want in your spare time. I won't blame you..."
As long as they did their part, Samuel would not blame them for what they did in their 'personal time'.
After all, only free and vibrant people can be charming, otherwise they will be like an uninteresting game, and once the novelty wears off, you get tired of playing it after a few days.
Selina breathed a sigh of relief gratefully: "Thank you, Boss."
Suddenly, a chaotic and noisy shouting sound came from afar, mixed with gunshots and explosions.
"It's started."
Selina whispered softly and glanced at Samuel, confirming that Samuel really didn't mind, then directly fired weapons at the blocked tunnel entrance.
"Boom!"
The missile directly blasted a large hole in the tunnel entrance.
"Done!"
Selina got off the vehicle, used the Pym Particles palm cannon to shrink the Batpod back down and put it away, then quickly ran to Samuel's side flatteringly.
"Boss, You are so good."
Samuel reached out to pet the 'cat', and his Mind Manipulation Ability circled in her mind, letting him know the reason she was helping.
Just as Miranda thought, Selina's only reason for helping was that she was also a Gothamite.
If Bruce Wayne hadn't appeared, things would have just ended there.
But since even the Batman whose spine was broken had returned to save Gotham, Selina thought she could also contribute.
Regardless of whether Gotham was destroyed in the end, at least she did her part, and even if she left and had no chance to return in the future, she wouldn't feel regret in her heart.
Speaking of which, this could be considered a tradition of Gothamites, right? Normally, You hit me, I hit You, You want to destroy Gotham, I also want to destroy Gotham.
But when outsiders are actually preparing to destroy Gotham, they can put aside their grudges and join forces to save Gotham!
"Let's go, Bruce Wayne and Bane's second match is starting."
Samuel smiled and opened a teleportation portal.
The two stepped in and appeared in front of a window of a house facing the street.
On the street, the large-scale melee of at least several thousand people was dazzling to watch.
The Police, the criminals from Blackgate Prison, were fighting in a chaotic mess, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
In the crowd.
Bruce Wayne, who had returned in his Batman suit, was engaged in their second battle with Bane!
