Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Who wouldn’t be furious?

The ancient bacteria that young Victor used to silence people had disappeared many years ago. Since he wanted to revive the almost dead bacteria from the ice and study them, even if he didn't have an antidote, he at least knew what kind of thing could slow down the activity of the bacteria or even kill them.

When Batman successfully took away the antibiotics from the ancient bacteria, burned down the entire laboratory and all the ancient bacteria samples he could find, and rushed back, he found that there was a boy in a cute pink dress next to Benjamin, and little Victor's freezing posture and position had also changed.

"what happened?"

"My dear fellow, I'll introduce you to each other when I get back," Benjamin said. "Did you find what you were looking for?"

The stranger said, "Whatever you're looking for, you need to leave now. There are always police patrolling this area, and with all the noise going on here, they'll be here soon."

"Everyone, you don't want to be strafed by helicopter gunships, do you?"

Of course no one wants to.

Right now, Benjamin is still in the transformation CD stage, the local Batman who is carrying important antibiotics still has a special fixation device on his broken arm, and there is also Matchstick Malone who has no antidote and may die at any time. It is obviously not a good time to fight with a large number of armed helicopters and armed drones.

Since Benjamin's transformation CD had not yet ended, he did not leave with the local Batman. Instead, he left the scene with Jason, who had undone his transformation, and blended into the crowd before walking back to the temporary base.

After they were safe and clear of outsiders, the two teammates, who had been separated for several days, finally asked the questions that had been pent up in their hearts since they reunited. They said in unison:

"Where's Li Hua?"

Benjamin:?

Jason:?

"Isn't Li Hua with you?"

"I thought he was with you!"

Benjamin:......

Jason:......

I originally thought that I was the only one who was left out of the team, but when I returned to the team and was called out - wow, I actually have to assemble the team myself for this group exam!

Jason: "So, can you use your invincible Kryptonian form in Gotham now to help your lost teammates get home?"

Benjamin shook his head. "Sorry, I used my Kryptonian form when I was checking Aka-M. The buildings in Gotham also contain a lot of lead. I can't be sure of your exact location."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the snow mud shop to leave a message while looking for food during the days when he was checking Aka M.

Benjamin: "Actually, I saw the message you left at the slush shop, and I knew you were looking for me. But I was busy saving people at the time and couldn't get around to seeing you."

Jason: "Human life is important. It doesn't matter if you come to me a few days earlier or later. After all, we have met now, right?"

The two found a secluded corner to compare the information they had learned in the past few days and came to three conclusions.

First, Jason and Benjamin landed in this world at different times, with Jason arriving earlier than Benjamin.

According to this logic, the reason why they couldn't find any trace of Li Hua these days might be because he hasn't arrived at the examination hall yet.

Second, the Batman in this universe is still the Bruce Wayne they are familiar with.

Although Jason was skeptical of the news' authenticity—"You're telling me a civil engineer from an ordinary family could set up dozens of safe houses in Gotham and smuggle a modified mine cart? Are you really sure he comes from an ordinary family?"

But no matter what Jason said, from the information Benjamin got from the local Bruce himself, integrated with the intelligence about the Wayne family found by Jason, and the local Bruce's own understanding, this is the fact.

Third, although 95% of the people imprisoned in Arkham and M are not good people, Arkham is much more dangerous and disgusting than Arkham Asylum.

"I tend to think Li Hua hasn't landed yet," Jason said. "If he had, his first reaction would have been the same as mine: going to various slush shops to see if he could find a slush fanatic like you. But after all these days, neither of us has found any trace of him."

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait here for Li Hua?" Benjamin analyzed the situation from the perspective of the person who set the question. "Azmis wouldn't mess with this kind of time flow. There's a high probability that Dr. Contradiction is among the people who set the question this time."

"Dr. Mao Dun's concept of time is different from that of ordinary people, and this exam is about 'observation'...so he won't let us wait here for Li Hua for months, right?"

For Dr. Contradiction, who has deciphered the laws of time, thousands of years, hundreds of years, and decades are just a drop in the bucket, let alone a few months?

"I'm not sure." Jason rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small string of numbers on the time-jumping device on his wrist. "I've been quite free these past few days, so I decided to take a closer look at this watch. I can guarantee that this thing didn't exist the last time we went out to play in the dungeon. You can ask Crab Armor Mastermind to take a look."

Dr. Contradiction is a slow-tempered person, but Azmis is obviously not one of them.

Also based on the analysis of the questioner himself, Jason reasonably suspected that the grumpy and serious alien old frog who couldn't even wait for Benjamin to wake up from a few hours of sleep would not have the patience to watch him and Benjamin catch fish in this universe for several months.

Jason's judgment proved correct. Crab Armor Mastermind quickly deciphered the code on his wrist, and after reading it, the time-space jump devices on their hands were immediately activated, dropping them to the same place two weeks later.

Back to the present, Benjamin in Kryptonian form used them as the center of the circle and saw through the mud shop, fast food restaurant... all the places in Gotham that could be seen with the perspective eye, but still could not find Li Hua himself.

“But I found this.”

Benjamin showed Jason the three sticky notes in his hand. "These are the notes we left on the message wall at the Snow Mud Shop. Li Hua marked them as read and said he'd met the local Dick. Do you think these could be used to find Li Hua's whereabouts?"

Jason pondered for a moment, then picked up the sticky note Benjamin had left for Aka M. "If you were Li Hua, and you were certain your two companions had arrived but couldn't find them, and the only clue you had was a place name... what would you do?"

"I'll go there to look for clues." Benjamin's mouth drooped. "If that's the case, we have to rush over now."

What's hidden underneath is comparable to K'O'Lu. Those things made from human transformation experiments can be thrown into the set of "False O Knight". However, Li Hua, who lacks a lot of information about Aka M, may not be able to deal with it!

.......

Li Hua felt that his luck was pretty good.

As he approached the local Arkham, he discovered a large number of pipes. When he was thinking about how to find a suitable pipe opening to sneak in, or how to create one himself, he discovered a pipe breach.

Judging from the neat cutting marks and the size that was just enough to accommodate Li Hua, this hole in the pipe was obviously not a gift from nature.

This must be the path Benjamin left behind.

Li Hua was overjoyed and crawled in through the gap. He found that the waterways inside were extremely complicated, like a maze.

For ordinary people, without guidance, they would probably be trapped to death in this maze of waterways.

But for Li Hua, who used the [Water][Land] cards and had been specially trained by the Sea King to swim, these were no problem at all. If he couldn't find the way, he just needed to expend a little more magic power from the dual SIM cards to dig a vertical shaft with magic.

When he emerged from the soil, Li Hua thought he had taken a detour while digging straight ahead and had dug back to Gotham from Arkham.

But Li Hua soon realized that he had not made the wrong move. Although the surrounding scene looked like a city at first glance, it was different upon closer inspection.

There were no streetlights or high-rise buildings here, and not a single light overhead. No stars, no moon, only a maze of pipes.

Li Hua immediately understood that Arkham above the sea was just a cover, and this city hidden underground was the real Arkham, where Gotham's sin and madness gathered.

At the same time, Li Hua also realized that he seemed to have taken the wrong path.

There was no way Benjamin would lead his companions to such a hellish place unless he needed support.

Even so, Benjamin would directly say that he needed support.

Li Hua saw the message at the slush shop. If Benjamin had bothered to run from here to the Gotham slush shop to leave a message, he would have called back immediately! Two weeks later, all the fighting was over!

The information left by Benjamin should be the same as Jason's "Local Batman is on the side of good" and Li Hua's "I have met the local Dick", just a very simple message.

Ultimately...it all comes down to him doing too much reading comprehension.

Although he went to the wrong place, Li Hua did not plan to return immediately.

The task of this exam is to let them "observe". Now that they are here, he might as well take a good look at what secrets are hidden under this underground city.

......

Thanks to the antibiotics brought back by Batman, Matchstick Malone was finally out of danger.

Although... due to bacterial erosion, Match Malone's skin was covered with numerous small, bumpy blood holes, and he had a fever due to being in a cold environment for a long time. But compared with the torture of deadly bacteria and the loss of his life, this minor discomfort and disfigurement was nothing.

After Matchstick Malone's fever subsided, "Penguin" Oz drove a helicopter obtained by special means and sent Matchstick Malone out of Gotham with Bruce overnight.

When the small blood hole on Matchstick Malone's body heals, Oz will immediately arrange for him to undergo plastic surgery, literally allowing Matchstick Malone to change his appearance and avoid being hunted down by JK Company.

Because everyone was quite busy during that time, when they finally caught their breath and received a call from Waylon's mother, they were shocked to find that their other brother, "Crocodile" Waylon Jones, was missing. It was just after the V-Core company created the blizzard.

On the day when Bruce went to V-Core to steal the antibiotics, he sneaked into V-Core disguised as "repairman Pennyworth" but was soon discovered and defeated by young Victor.

Afterwards, he was dragged into the freezing chamber by little Victor, and clearly experienced the feeling of being frozen.

The feeling of being frozen is not as pleasant as people imagine. When the severe cold creeps in, all you feel is pain.

Little Victor said that during the first thirty years of being frozen, people would be tortured by constant pain. But it was after that that he learned to adapt to the pain and even enjoy it.

The "zombies" seen at V-Core that day were the clients of V-Core's human cryopreservation technology. After being frozen, they became zombies that had lost their humanity and ability to think. They were no longer considered living people.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that young Victor didn't take Pennyworth, who was not wearing any equipment at the time and was easily knocked down by him, seriously. After throwing Bruce into the freezer to silence him, he gave him some quick-freezing tips and went to another room to make a phone call.

Little Victor thinks Matchstick Malone is a "nobody" and "Pennyworth the Repairman" is even less worthy of mention.

So Bruce, who escaped the cryostat and retrieved the Batsuit, was able to hear that not only did Little Victor tell the mastermind that Match Malone had been infected with his ancient bacteria and must have died somewhere long ago, but he also didn't tell the mastermind about Bruce's disguised identity.

Bruce also heard that young Victor reported to someone that the recent heavy snow in Gotham would allow the mastermind behind the scenes to obtain the genetic data of 92% of Gotham's citizens so as to mark the citizens he needed.

Considering the human experimentation site at Aka-M and the official police files showing that Waylon was "reasonably and legally" arrested on trumped-up charges and detained at Aka-M, it's not difficult to guess who the real culprit behind the kidnapping of "Crocodile" Waylon was, and what the real purpose behind his abduction was.

Waylon Jones, their good brother, is the next experimental material targeted by the gang.

Just when I pulled a close friend back from the brink of death, another close friend's life or death is uncertain and may have been killed.

Although they had information about the Aka M Underground Biological Research Institute before, Bruce and his friends were focused on how to snatch Match Malone back from the hands of death, and had not had time to look at and analyze the information in detail.

Now, carefully reading the information about the underground city collected by Benjamin, the more he read, the more terrified he became. He couldn't help but wonder if his former brothers had already suffered the same fate... But even if they wanted to find Waylon again, they didn't even know whether Waylon was really imprisoned in Akka M as the files said, instead of being secretly transported out of the city.

Without Waylon's precise location, incomplete intelligence analysis, and inadequate equipment and action plans, Bruce couldn't act rashly. He could only wait for his teammates to maneuver through the underworld, and for his broken arm to heal for the next fierce battle...

The above is what police officer Grayson D said. This is the reason behind Batman’s “inexplicable rage” in the past two weeks.
