Chapter 16 Plant Crisis
The call was made by the ventriloquist, who brought bad news to Chen Tao:
Death Shooter was clamoring to disband and return to Gao Laozhuang - Chen Tao just felt tired.
He once again deeply realized that reality is not an online game, and there is no such outrageous setting as "recruiting soldiers to see loyalty".
The guys he recruited are more troublesome and weird than each other.
Gordon stood by for a while and found that Batman did not leave his front to answer the phone like before, so he consciously walked to the side and shrank.
Chen Tao asked the ventriloquist to give the phone to Death Shooter, then calmed down, thought for a short time, and switched the voice to Death Shooter's own voice:
"OK, OK, even if you don't want money, you have to save your life and reunite with your daughter. I respect your choice and wish you a happy life, but I still have something to say."
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Death Shooter on the other end of the phone looked a little strange. The other party persuaded him with his own voice, which was inexplicably a little scary.
"Listen, Lawton, I've investigated you. Your daughter's adoptive parents are just an ordinary family. They can't afford to give your daughter a good education."
"Your daughter is still in elementary school. Next, she will go to the worst public junior high school in the community, surrounded by hooligans who dye their hair, smoke, get tattoos, and fight. Next, she will go to the worst high school - if your daughter doesn't learn bad things. Then what?"
"One day, get pregnant by some red-neck scumbag hooligans? Then become a single mother, huh? Work as a salesperson in a supermarket, lose your figure, and have loose skin. Is this the life you planned for your daughter?"
"Shut up! Bastard!"
Death Shooter's anger was easily aroused. He shouldn't be such a violent and irritable idiot, but no matter who it is, when it comes to family, it's always impossible to stay calm.
"Ah - yes - that's right - his father is the famous Death Shooter, a murderer wanted by more than 10 countries. The only difference between Zoe and other slum girls is that her awesome father will shoot through the necks of all the bad guys who get close to her, and he also has some wealth accumulated over the years as a mercenary. But what's the use of that?"
"No matter how much money you have, the real upper ladder of those aristocratic schools will not open the door to Zoe, not to mention that if you want to launder your black money, they will evaporate 1/2 directly."
"Your money can be laundered, but what about your identity? Where do you want to take Zoe to live? The Sahara Desert or the Great Canyon of East Africa?"
"Dear mercenary, you don't want your daughter to not be able to receive a good education, right?"
"Enough, stop talking!"
The voice of the Death Shooter has a strange sense of frustration, as if biting his tongue to prevent the sound of his heart from jumping out of his mouth.
"I can get you a letter of introduction from Bruce Wayne or Jim Gordon to the top university in Gotham."
"I can turn the $200 million I give you into Zoe's legal income through financial operations."
"I can plan a perfect life for Zoe."
"..."
Silence.
The Death Shooter on the other side of the phone sighed. He didn't expect that he would change his mind and surrender in just a few minutes after making a decision.
He didn't ask the other party if he could help him clean up his identity. He knew that even if he could, he wouldn't do it for him.
What the other party needs is a combat force that can fight and charge, not a soldier who always wants to retire.
"Okay, I know. I will help you..."
"What did you call me?"
"Boss."
The matter is resolved.
Provide facts, put out bargaining chips, and complete the transaction.
To be honest, Chen Tao was too lazy to think about whether the other party deliberately raised the price, because it was meaningless.
Once Bane is dealt with, his cooperation with these mercenaries will be terminated immediately, the money and goods will be settled, the promises will be fulfilled, and then they will run towards their own beautiful lives and never have any contact with each other again.
At least now, he can completely control the Deadshot, that's enough.
Moreover, now that the National Guard has been dispatched, can Bane still destroy an entire army by himself?
Think optimistically, although maybe Batman doesn't need to take action at all.
Chen Tao turned off the communication and looked at Gordon, ready to discuss with him how to deal with Bane. He still had in his hand - wait, the other party seemed to be answering the phone.
Jim Gordon turned his head, he wiped his forehead, and wiped the sweat from the wrinkles on his brown hair mixed with gray.
The expression on his face was extremely serious.
"Wait a minute, Batman."
He said.
He hurriedly left the rooftop from the stairwell. A few minutes later, Director Gordon came back with a file bag and handed one of the documents to Chen Tao:
"Just watch first, I'll take care of what I'm saying. Three days ago, the Star Lab was attacked, and a living person was kidnapped, Harold Goldblum, a chemistry professor, a leader of the chemical research department of GothCorp, an expert in biological warfare weapons, and a top-notch intelligence in the fields of biology, botany, and toxicology..."
He took out a photo and showed it to Chen Tao. It was a bald man with gray hair, and he looked very smart.
Chen Tao's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
"This was originally a very serious matter, but at that time, Firefly had just set a fire at Elmer's Pier."
Chen Tao followed up and answered him: "And the pervert Firefly was climaxing while watching the pier turn into a torch, and then..."
Chen Tao was stuck for a moment, and he suddenly realized that in the original history, Batman was the first to go to the scene and beat Firefly to a pulp, and he fled in embarrassment.
But at that time he had just crossed over and was still trying to activate the [Alfred Protocol] with the toilet paper in the Bat Cave, so--
"Firefly and the guys who came after hearing the news had a fierce conflict."
(The guys Gordon mentioned were his police officers)
"In addition to Firefly, there are also Almond Brain, Ogre, Two-Face..."
Gordon said a long list of names like a menu, and then said: "Bane released too many people from Arkham Asylum, so the matter of Poison Ivy was delayed."
"But just 10 minutes ago, I just received a report that the people in the Identification Department used technical means to repair the damaged surveillance, and we suddenly discovered that Poison Ivy did not rob the Star Lab alone--"
Chen Tao took the photo handed over by Gordon, and standing next to Poison Ivy Ivy was a scary-looking tree man.
"Then, we found out that Professor Goldblum had just developed a biological weapon with a large range for GothCorp. If Poison Ivy and this inhuman monster intend to replicate this weapon and use it in the city..."
Chen Tao looked at the photo carefully for a while.
"I know him. This guy is the plant master, Jason Wood," he said in a positive tone: He replicated the accident that created the swamp monster Alec Holland, turned himself into a walking plant, and became a low-level spokesperson for the magical power [Green of All Things]. "
"Green of All Things, what the hell is that?"
"An elemental essence, representing plants, and the red of all living things representing flesh and blood animals, and the black of decay representing corruption and death, are called the three basic forces."
"Okay, wait." Gordon said, "You just said magic, right."
"I don't know why the content of our discussion suddenly jumped from police and gangster movies to super-powered magic brawls."
