Chapter 5: Bats have plenty of strength and power' Dressed in black...
"Dressed in black, like the embodiment of darkness, Batman broke into this place sealed off by terrifying machinery. After a loud noise, we were able to escape..."
This self-narrated article immediately made headlines upon its release. Even without photos, the text alone brought in a huge amount of traffic.
"I never thought that Batman would have something to do with fairy tales one day." Tim read a newspaper over and over again. He hung it on the back of the sofa where Bruce was sitting and pointed out the word "Pied Piper" in it.
"..." Bruce held the teacup and nodded helplessly, "I'll leave Dr. Needham's past to you to investigate."
"Of course, I'll go now." Tim left with the newspaper and took a plate of snacks from the tea table before leaving.
Bruce, who had lost his snacks and newspaper, looked at his reflection in the cup and had to drink some tea.
He stood up and headed to the Batcave.
At night, sounds of conversation were heard from an abandoned building in the suburbs.
"We can rely on them to control the entire city. Even though Batman killed so many of them last time, as long as the 'hive' is there, they can still independently collect materials and create more of their kind. That doctor's achievements are really impressive."
"Yeah, he's just a bit stupid. Lock him up for a few days and don't give him any food. See when he's willing to attack the system. But I don't understand why you locked him up so far away..."
The door to the basement had been opened by Batman. Hearing the sound of the iron lock falling to the ground, Dr. Needham stood up in surprise in the darkness.
"Batman!" His face was filled with urgency. "Go and destroy the hive."
Batman first confirmed the physical condition of the doctor in front of him. It looked like he had just been imprisoned for a short time. Then he said to him word by word: "You have to come with me."
"No, I..." He took a step back and refused instinctively. He didn't want to see his children kill again.
"If we want to get close to that thing, we must be led by you. You are the one who knows it best." Batman took out a damaged mechanical bee and placed it in the palm of Dr. Needham's hand.
Those people, like the evil assistant, wanted to use them to realize their own ambitions, but Needham only wanted to develop autonomous bee colonies and bring them to the farmland.
"..." The haggard middle-aged man looked at his research results. After a long while, he nodded gently and gave a reply: "I understand."
"And that Batman, haha, even though he just wanted to test the swarm last time, he was able to kill so many of them, it's really hateful." A man with a scar on his face shook the cup in his hand with a gloomy face.
After seeing so many powerful opponents who are confident and confident, this kind of incompetent and furious villain is a bit funny.
Liu Shu squatted outside the window with his Yanou on, listening to the conversation in the room in the blind spot of their sight.
She studied the news today and found out that when the doctor escaped from prison, other people also escaped, including the person who had previously held her hostage.
She felt it was strange at the time, so she left a mark on the man to prepare for a rainy day. Unexpectedly, she really caught him. She guessed that the man tried every means to enter the prison just to capture the doctor in prison.
It seemed like someone was approaching, so Liu Shu jumped into a room upstairs. A slight buzzing sound came from behind her. She turned around and took a look at the dense swarm of mechanical bees.
They continued to operate normally as if they didn't see her. This was Xianzhou Technology.
She stood by the window and looked out. It was Batman who came, and he brought that doctor with him.
Batman quickly looked up, but didn't see anyone. He only saw wave after wave of mechanical bees patrolling. Did the controllers see him?
The controllers didn't notice the intruder upstairs, nor did they notice Batman about to break through the window to attack the Hive. They didn't notice even a hint of something amiss, and were completely focused on making the poison. "Let's feed them those poisonous ingredients first, at least to make their attack more powerful."
"Give me a hand." Two people carrying a box of unknown liquid began to go upstairs.
After climbing the last flight of stairs, a dark figure appeared in front of them.
"Why is Batman here!" They looked at the uninvited guest and were so scared that they dropped the things in their hands. Bottles and jars shattered and flowed all over the floor. Fortunately, this was not some highly toxic liquid that evaporated very quickly, otherwise they would have died on the spot.
"Needham!!!" One of them was even more surprised by the doctor's appearance.
The person who knew more stood where he was, while the other person took out a controller from his pocket.
Batman, who came in with the doctor, raised the batarang, but he thought of something and put it down again.
The controller is useless.
The mechanical bees all hovered beside the hive until—
"Wait!" Scarface wanted to stop his accomplices, but modern people press buttons too quickly and he didn't have time.
As his accomplices ordered an attack on Batman and Dr. Needham, the Robobee swooped down on them.
"Again..." Dr. Needham saw a familiar scene. He stretched out his hand to stop it, but the swarm of bees had already poured out and only a part of them stayed to protect him, while the rest attacked the two people who were hostile to him.
Batman threw an electric net into the air, and large swarms of mechanical bees were stopped by this professional device.
"You know how to do it, right?" After all, he is the creator, so he must have kept the destruction program, Batman said to him without turning his head.
He could hold out for another eight minutes, not because he didn't have enough equipment, but because he calculated that after eight minutes the swarm would call back all the mechanical bees, and then the entire building would be filled with them.
Not everyone is Batman's. Liu Shu stood farthest away from them, raised his sword and prepared to attack.
But the doctor seemed to have a way. He walked through the swarm of bees and reached the hive.
The mechanical bees nearby retracted their stingers, looking like harmless insects.
He fumbled around on the hive, time ticking by.
In the sixth minute—
“Found it!”
Because of the large number of mechanical bees gathered, it was impossible to see its true appearance. When he took action, all the mechanical bees blocking the hive fell down one after another, as if they were sprayed with insecticide, and the ground and the people present were covered with them.
This honeycomb only has a partial hexagonal structure on the outside, and most of it is made up of tiny metal tentacles that look very strange, but it is very large and almost fills the entire room.
Without the swarm of bees, the two lying on the ground seemed to want to sneak away, but when they looked up, they found that their legs were tied together.
It ended just like that. Unable to bear watching a bearded old man crying while holding a machine, Liu Shu quietly left and stood at the highest point on the top floor.
"Who are you?" Batman indeed discovered her.
A little white-haired girl in strange clothes stood where he usually stood.
In front of her was a still-running mechanical bee, which spun a few times in the air before landing on her fingertips.
"They don't seem to be able to program emotions yet," Liu Shu said, gazing at the tiny, remaining creature. She thought of the omnics from another universe, "but they already have a beginning sense of loyalty."
She should be just in her teens, but something just doesn't feel right. Batman looked at the little girl standing steadily on the high ground, and he could sense that she was different from ordinary people.
Is she breathing? If she isn't breathing, isn't she a human?
Liu Shu ignored Batman's powerful gaze. She lowered her hand and watched the little creature fly downstairs. If that was the case, she should leave. What? With Batman here, there's nothing to worry about. This trip today wasted.
She didn't do anything, she just helped them save a little mechanical bee. It shouldn't attract much attention, right?
Gotham at night was as restless as usual, with figures flying back and forth across the rooftops.
It was all that robber's fault. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have come to this place, wouldn't have seen Batman, and wouldn't have been chased all over the city by him.
Liu Shu looked back at the person who was chasing her relentlessly. She was not tired at all now, but could the person behind her be tired too?
"As expected of Batman." With plenty of strength and power, Liu Shu stood at the end of the alley, looking at the person who blocked her.
Before Batman could say anything, she decisively turned off the phone and logged off.
A white-haired little girl of about eleven or twelve years old was lying on the ground with lifeless eyes. There was only a black figure standing next to her. This picture seemed wrong no matter how he looked at it. Although Robin knew what kind of person Batman was, he still couldn't help but worry.
"What happened to her?" Robin approached quickly. At the same time, Batman squatted down and began to check the condition of the doll.
"I don't know, but she's not human."
"She just ran away for one night, that's not serious." Swearing is not nice, Robin patted Batman's shoulder.
"?"
It was gradually getting brighter here, and Batman picked up the puppet from the ground. He didn't plan to take it back to the Batcave, but to go to a hidden safe house that he had set up so he could do a basic inspection.
As they were driving the Batmobile, Ryushu came back.
"Don't pick up random things." She came back online and lay down behind Batman and Robin, speaking like a ghost. She tore off the ropes and iron shackles on her body.
The Batmobile came to an abrupt stop.
Liu Shu was thrown out and turned several times in the air, then landed smoothly and disappeared at sunrise.
This is my escape route.
Liu Shu jumped twice on the spot, shook out a bunch of trackers, and then pulled out the bun on his head and the decorations on his body.
After making sure that nothing was missing, she sat down high above the city and waited until noon to go home.
"Thank you. This is the first time I've seen such exquisite pastries." Winnie took the pastry that Liu Shu handed to her and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"You're welcome." He just cooked too much. He hadn't cooked by himself for a long time and didn't control the amount well. He added more water and more flour. The ingredients were also used up. Liu Shu gave a piece of cat cake to a classmate who passed by.
I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, and since it's a holiday, I can still go out for a walk. She looked at her classmates' expressions of pity for the snacks she made, and felt a little happy. It seemed that everyone was like this, except for one classmate who had asked for leave and couldn't eat these red bean paste cat cakes.
Tim said he wouldn't come and he really wouldn't come. He wouldn't still be checking on her偃偶, would he?
