Chapter 106 Chapter 106 [VIP]
The power supply to the port has been cut off, and the only lights that can illuminate the darkness are the emergency lights, but many of them have been broken. This makes it easier for the members of the Joker Gang to hide their tracks and prevents people outside from knowing their exact number and ambush layout.
There was only one building in the entire port that was an exception. It was brightly lit, and from the windows one could see figures of people inside, but the distance was too far, and it was impossible to confirm the specific situation inside the building. It was obviously a well-prepared trap.
The port is quite large, and the explosion occurred in the abandoned warehouse area on the other side. Although some surrounding buildings were also affected, the overall damage was not great. After all, when the Joker Gang members were dispatched in large numbers, in addition to creating chaos, they would also take away high-value goods to sell. After all, that's what gangs do.
The Joker may look down on those things, but the gang needs a source of funds, and he has never been a stingy person. As long as his men can complete the task, he doesn't care if they burn, kill and loot. In addition to his personal income from the operation, there is also a group of people in the gang who are specifically responsible for this.
The impact of their action was not small. From the first gunshot and the ignition of the bomb, various forces paid attention and rushed to the scene. The departments responsible for maintaining social order were no exception. For example, the GCPD, while dispatching, also sent messages to the Coast Guard to inquire about the situation.
After all, it is a large port with a constant stream of ships coming and going on a daily basis. When it is attacked, the coast guard needs to be dispatched, and by the way, it is also necessary to check whether there are any contraband entering the country. If there are dangerous chemicals or raw materials, the importance and danger of the incident will continue to increase, attracting the attention of all parties and even all walks of life, and Congress will also put pressure on it.
We don't know what other cargoes are on board yet, but it's just one tanker. If the fuel leak is accidentally ignited...
The entire port could be reduced to ruins, which would become a large-scale terrorist attack that would shock the world.
As for the Coast Guard, they had already attacked the port before they decided to do so. The first thing they did was to cut off communications. Then the Joker Gang members changed into guard uniforms and obtained a lot of equipment. Now the speedboats and guard boats floating on the sea are all filled with Joker Gang members. They even launched a helicopter and hovered over the port.
It looked like the guards were the first to rush to support and try to control the situation. Since the restored communication indicated that 'everything was normal', and they were also waiting for orders, they needed someone to provide an analysis of the port situation before they could enter the battle. Now they were just blocking it to prevent people from smuggling goods from the sea or fleeing to pose a threat to the surrounding civilians. This was normal.
The people on the helicopter were holding a tablet and saw the infrared imaging on it. Of course, they discovered the drone with the bat logo, but they did not shoot it down. The Joker had an arrangement. He allowed the drone to discover his tracks and transmit them back. He also took off his top hat to indicate that he knew the other party had discovered him, so he asked his men to shoot it down.
The clown's leather shoes were exquisitely crafted, even with white overshoes. He stepped lightly over the drone debris, leaning on his cane and smiling, "They're almost here, and the show is about to begin."
He has capable subordinates around him. They turn on the intercom and inform the groups of the arrangements made at the beginning. Then they have to change positions. You know, waiting is risky, especially for Batman - he is a master of concealment. He can always sneak deep into the enemy team and suddenly launch an attack to cause panic. This is also his forte, and the Joker needs to avoid this risk.
And where was the good child he brought with him? She was only allowed to stay at a distance from the port. Of course, she was unwilling to give up and did not want to obey, but her good father had a way to deal with her -
"Meghan, if you don't stay here, I can make sure you never see me again." When did he learn to threaten so tenderly? It was all because of Megan. If he threatened her in other ways, she might be more than happy. This was the only way to get her to behave herself.
So Megan stayed outside the port, huddled in a corner and not daring to move at all, finally acting like a good child.
She heard dense gunfire in the harbor, heard huge explosions, and then police cars drove in one after another. But before the GCPD people arrived, she saw a black Batmobile that ran past in a flash.
Megan had no idea what was going on in the port, but she had a cell phone in her hand. She didn't know how to use this 'new toy' yet, so she played with it randomly. Finally, she somehow pressed the dial button and dialed a number.
The phone beeped, and Megan just stared at it in a daze. She didn't know what was going on, but she held her breath carefully. She heard a voice coming from the phone, but it was like the voice of a host on TV, speaking in a straight tone, and it was a little difficult to understand when she heard it for the first time.
Then the screen went dark for some reason and the voices disappeared.
Megan was originally squatting in the corner, but her legs were tired, so she stood up and stretched, and then simply sat down. She was placed here by the clown. There was also a fast food paper bag next to her, which contained hamburgers and orange juice. The reason was that she had been following the clown like a little tail in the afternoon and had not eaten dinner. Finally, she was brought here, and the clown asked Nelson to buy her a fast food meal.
She sat down, stretched her legs, and swung her toes left and right. She thought this was just for fun, to pass the time. She still couldn't figure out what the danger was. That's why her father didn't let her follow. Suddenly, the cell phone in her arms vibrated and rang.
Megan was startled, then picked up the phone, saw the "Incoming Call" on it, studied the interface for a while, and tentatively pressed the communication button. Before she knew what was going on, she heard a sound from the phone.
"I wish you were still there, child." The person opposite sighed pretentiously, as if he really couldn't do anything to her.
The sound was distorted by the hum of electricity, making it almost impossible to tell who was speaking. Megan was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, then she tried to think about what the other party had said, but her mind was blank. So she leaned in to the phone and asked, "Hey?"
The Joker has moved to another location, this place is safe—
There were men disguised as Coast Guards watching the sea, fully-armed helicopters in the sky, and members of the Joker Gang were waiting in ambush points on the port. He was in an office building, and the port staff were on the first floor. When the attack was launched, some of the people who were not killed were gathered here, but their weapons were taken away, and there were people guarding them, using them as hostages.
Now he is in a closed room, which is designed to block signal detectors, but when Batman comes, he will need a shielding device, but suddenly he receives a call.
His number was the only one in the phone he prepared for a certain child. He didn't answer the call request just now. After a while, he called back and asked, but found that there was no response from the other party. The clown was not surprised.
"Megan, it's me." He said in a flat tone.
The child opposite was suddenly surprised, and immediately pressed himself against the phone receiver and rubbed it, "Dad, I want to come over!" His true colors were revealed immediately, and he was still thinking about being with him.
The clown's smile was slightly mocking, as he felt she was a troublesome child, but his words were still soothing. "I called just to tell you to stay there and not run around. Also, did you encounter anything?"
He showed some concern for Megan, and when he heard that she was fine, he told her to eat dinner. His last words were, "I'll occasionally save my number in your phone, but you only have one chance to call each number, and then it's scrapped. By the way, Megan, you may have to go back by yourself tonight."
The drama between him and Batman, how it will end is easy to predict, because it has been repeated countless times. He will successfully create some events, but Batman will sometimes destroy the plan, arrest him after he succeeds, and put him back in Arkham Asylum, and so on...
To the Joker, the whole world is just a game, and Gotham City is his favorite paradise. He has already understood the rules of the game, knows how the world works, and knows all the secrets of Gotham.
After hanging up the phone with Megan, he glanced around and did not stay in this closed house. Although there were no windows, Batman and Robin could not break in through the windows, but staying here all the time would not be conducive to him obtaining more information from the outside. Sometimes some of his men were as useless as blind men. Only he was most familiar with the tactics of his 'old friends'.
Before going out, he straightened his clothes, stood on a high floor and looked down at the area. He raised his hand slightly backward, and one of his men handed him a night vision telescope. He took the thing and looked around, but knew that it was of little use.
You have to know that Batman's gadgets always use the most cutting-edge technology. Even with a three-in-one light device, Batman has a way to evade tracking and hide himself. He only needs to add some small functions to his equipment, just like his Batmobile and Batplane, which have optical coatings and can avoid radar response.
The Joker can even tell where the technology used by Batman comes from, who originally proposed the theory, who realized the actual technology, where his parts come from, where the paint is purchased, and on which production line the machine is manufactured...
He's well aware of these things, but rarely uses them to attack Batman. After all, if he wanted to, he'd just go into the Batcave. Why would he play these little games with Batman? Maybe he's bored, or maybe he's the one who thinks he's in control of Gotham and enjoys the feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk?
The clown's smile on the glass window gradually faded, but he didn't like games. He was keen on committing crimes, just like tonight, creating big events that were crazy enough to make the ground beneath his feet stained red with blood.
On the other hand, it was noticed that almost all the members of the Joker Gang had come out, and there were too many of them. Even if the Coast Guard and GCPD arrived at the scene together, they still had to rescue the hostages. After all, there were enough staff members in the port and it was impossible for them all to be killed. The Joker also liked to leave hostages as bargaining chips and then deal with them.
The tactic adopted by Batman and Robin was to sneak in first and find out the situation of the port before making a plan. On the way there, Batman had a hunch that the Joker would not act rashly and would definitely make some preparations before attacking Gotham Port.
The Joker's actions have always been unpredictable. He is a real madman, but his plans are meticulous and bold. He would never launch a large-scale attack without any support. It is very likely that he has other backup plans, and that is the most critical part of this incident. Otherwise, it would be like his usual nesting doll trick. He solved the problem he put on the surface, but in the end there were still places destroyed by bombs.
The current situation seems to be that the Joker Gang members are blocked at the port. No matter what they want to do, they cannot escape the blockade. They can only negotiate with them using hostages, but the Joker's purpose will not be so simple.
So Batman asked Commissioner Gordon to send someone to find out the situation in the Coast Guard building and not to trust what they communicated in the communication.
So Gordon sent out a team of police officers, one team went directly to the port, and the other team, with a small number of personnel, quietly rushed to the Coast Guard building. Their mission was to investigate the internal situation of the guard and ensure that the personnel had not been replaced, and to immediately send a signal if they found any situation.

In fact, I have always felt that the rhythm of this article is very problematic (autism). It is mostly daily, and then there are some serious plots occasionally, and major events are also mixed in but not too conspicuous. It has a weird feeling (ba) (autism)
