Chapter 42 Rescue Operation

The footsteps got closer and closer until they were less than ten meters away from her.

Rong Huan's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat as she waited quietly to determine whether it would be heaven or hell.

When she couldn't help shaking, the footsteps went straight past Rong Huan and went far away, mixed with the laughter of the gangsters.

"Hey, let's go to the bar today. The girl I saw last time was really good. I guarantee you won't be able to take your eyes off her once you see her!"

"Really? I'm going too. Last time the boss insisted on sending me out, and I missed it..."

Rong Huan remained motionless until the footsteps could no longer be heard, then she carefully stretched her body and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

It was too exciting here, and she wanted to find a safer corner. The footsteps came again, and Rong Huan froze. She didn't have time to dodge, and alarm bells started ringing in her head, and she didn't know how to hide.

A familiar voice sounded.

"Bat, I didn't find Xiaorong. The signal here is blocked. I guess the children are all locked up in one place. I didn't find them here."

It was Dick Grayson's voice! Rong Huan's eyes lit up, and she leaned out and called her brother in a low voice.

Nightwing was communicating with Batman when he heard someone talking out of nowhere. He cautiously hid aside and scanned the surveillance to make sure he was not discovered.

He randomly stared at the corner of the corridor, and saw no one passing by. At this time, the mumbling sounded again. He paused, and looking at the empty corridor, cold sweat broke out.

When people are nervous, the last thing they want to remember is what keeps playing in their mind. All Dick could think of was the scary face when he and Tim watched the horror movie.

Nightwing is ruthless when facing criminals, but criminals are also human beings, of course he is not afraid of them, but ghosts are not! He was nervous and even wanted to take out his mobile phone to search what ordinary people would do if they encountered ghosts. At this time, he seemed to hear the little girl's voice.

It’s over, it’s all hallucinations! Otherwise, how could I see Rong Huan in the corner...?

Ye Yi turned his head suddenly and saw a little girl smiling happily in the corner. There was a gray mark on her face from somewhere.

He walked over and picked up the child. After checking that no one was around, he slipped into an inconspicuous little room, put the child on the table, and pinched Rong Huan's cheek with his fingers.

"You're going to scare your brother Dick to death! Why did you run out?"

Rong Huan couldn't say that the system had sent it out, so she blinked and changed the subject.

"I just ran out when no one was around. Brother Dick, why are you here? Where are Jason and the others? Is Daddy here too?"

Rong Huan's series of questions successfully made Dick forget what he was going to say. He gently wiped the dust off Rong Huan's face and carried her out.

"We are all here. Many children have been kidnapped. We are here to rescue you."

Rong Huan nodded and stayed in Dick's arms obediently so as not to cause any trouble to her brother.

Nightwing talks to Batman and tells him that Xiaorong has been found. Jason is also in the channel and after hearing this, he asks Nightwing to hand the headphones to the child.

As soon as Rong Huan put on her headphones, she heard Jason biting his cheek and biting his tongue.

"You little bastard, wait and explain to me how to get on stage."

Rong Huan paused, and the baby fat on her cheeks trembled. Dick pinched her cheeks and spoke to her in a funny way.

"Okay, little wing, why are you threatening our Xiaorong? She's already scared of us."

Red Hood snorted and went offline, leaving Batman and Nightwing still discussing the situation.

In a room two hundred meters away from Batman, Scarecrow and Penguin were facing each other. Next to them was a large display screen, on which surveillance cameras in every corner were faithfully recording the situation.

The Penguin Man held a cane and looked at the Scarecrow with disdain. The villains in Gotham all disliked each other. Originally, Xiao Chou was his rival, but suddenly one day Xiao Chou disappeared.

He didn't believe it at first. Who knows if that madman will come back one day? But as time passed, even the ugly girl began to believe that her pudding had left Gotan, and no one knew where the woman had gone.

Most of the underground kingdom ruled by Xiao Chou was taken over by the Red Hood, a rising alien force in the past two years, and the rest was divided up by them. Even if Xiao Chou appeared, he would be powerless to save the situation.

The Penguin Man, who has become the biggest villain in Gotham, is complacent and cooperates with the Scarecrow simply because this guy happened to be doing an experiment.

It requires a lot of talent. The penguin wants children, and the scarecrow wants people. Their goals are very consistent. Experimenting with children is also an experiment, and the effect may be better! (Here I would like to remind everyone that the plot of the novel requires it. In reality, child trafficking and human experiments are firmly opposed!)

In this way, the Penguin Man persuaded the Scarecrow to make a deal, and after the Hydra people had chosen all the children, he gave the remaining children to the Scarecrow as experimental subjects.

Not only was he able to complete the task assigned by Baron Strucker, but he was also able to sell the remaining children to Scarecrow and make a fortune. Cobblepot laughed in his heart: How could there be such a smart and handsome villain like him in the world? Hahahaha…

The Scarecrow also looked at the Penguin Man opposite with disdain. He had long felt that there was something wrong with this man. He imagined himself to be a peerless villain every day. Look, the expression on his face could no longer conceal it.

No matter how smart he is, he will still be caught and beaten by Batman. He saw it last time in Arkham Prison. The Penguin Man's face was covered with bruises and it was difficult for him to open his mouth to eat.

The Scarecrow's idea was quite simple. He would just sit back and wait for the fisherman to reap the benefits, and turn the remaining children of the baron into experimental subjects for the newly developed poison gas.

Both of them were dreaming of great things when a man dressed as a mercenary pushed the door open. He looked at the villain, Ge Tan, who didn't look very smart, and wondered if his leader had some problems with his vision.

In order to ensure that these children could be safely delivered to the Hydra base, Baron Strucker specially dispatched his capable subordinate to Gotan as "supervisors".

Supervisor Crossbones Rumlow calmly reminded the two imaginary people.

"Gentlemen, the ship is ready to transport Gotan anytime."

The penguin man came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and walked out respectfully behind Rumlow. The scarecrow kept an eye on the surveillance and would immediately attack any suspicious figures like the dark one he spotted.

At this time, the real Black has already ambushed on the ceiling, waiting for the Penguin Man to appear. Red Hood rushes to meet up with Nightwing, and the two of them are going to rescue the imprisoned children.

Red Hood nimbly dodged the patrol team, did a backflip and jumped out of the surveillance range, and found Nightwing and Rong Huan in the room at the end of the corridor.

He strode forward, lifted Rong Huan up in the air and swung her around. He noticed that the little girl's clothes were just dirty and she was not injured, and he finally felt relieved.

Jason pinched Rong Huan's face in frustration.

"Why do you always put yourself in danger? I don't think I'll bring you out next time."

Rong Huan knew she was in the wrong, so she hugged Jason's arm and acted cute with him.

"No, Jason, I want to hang out with you next time!"

Jason Todd still felt sorry for her, so he put her on the table and didn't pursue the matter any further.

Red Hood and Dick checked the map that they had previously simulated by scanning, and guessed where the children might be. They didn't have much time, and if they delayed for a minute, the children might be in danger.

Rong Huan listened to a few words and was shocked. She knew the location! No, the system knew it!

She called the system, thinking that if they could share their location, they could rescue the children faster.

The system's electronic sound starts.

"Host, your location before transmission can tell the bound object, but the existence of the system cannot be discovered."

Rong Huan agreed and asked the system to tell her the location.

"Brother Dick, Jason, they are in the second to last room in the basement. There are guards there."

Jason and Dick stared at the little girl at the same time. Seeing her lifeless eyes, they began to doubt her. But now was not the time to ask questions. The two looked at each other, and Jason picked up Rong Huan and let her hold on.

The two walked quickly in the shadows, without being captured by the camera at all, and arrived outside the basement stairs in just a few minutes.

Dick rushed out first and knocked down four patrolmen with bat darts. The last one saw Nightwing and wanted to draw his gun to shoot, but he was swept by Nightwing's legs and knocked to the ground, unconscious.

Nightwing gestured to Red Hood, who came out holding the child, frowned at the person lying on the ground.

"This is bound to be discovered, let's make it quick."

Nightwing nodded, then ran to the end of the corridor, and saw that the second to last room was full of locked children.
