Volume 1: Welcoming Gotham Chapter 31 Gordon's heart skipped a beat
"Director, the prison guards and guards of Blackgate Prison have all been evacuated. They have formed a temporary defense line behind us to defend against possible attacks from outside the prison!"
The fully armed SWAT commander of the Gotham Police Department reported the current situation to Chief Gordon, who was wearing a bulletproof vest. Gordon, who had served in the army and performed dangerous missions in his early years, seemed to have regained his youth. He took an automatic rifle from his colleague and said to the SWAT commander:
"What about air power? Are three helicopters enough?"
"That should be enough."
The commander said:
“The Black Gate Prison was designed with prison break-in in mind. With all the reserve facilities activated, the enemy cannot even get through the first gate unless they use military-grade firepower.
We have also installed detectors near the sewers, so we will be able to detect any intruders as soon as possible.”
"very good!"
The director was slightly relieved.
He stood in the command vehicle and looked around the Blackgate Prison, which was under complete martial law, but did not find any obvious loopholes. He looked at the time at his watch and personally led a SWAT team into the prison.
Since he already knew that the jailbreakers came for the Penguin, he could only feel at ease if he personally stayed near the Penguin's cell.
At the same time, in the sky above Blackgate Prison at night, the flying motorcycle driven by Mason also landed silently in a remote area that was not easily detected. The young man and the kite man jumped off the car and threw the motorcycle back into the suitcase.
He turned around and threw a black headset to the kite flyer who was preparing, and said:
"Wait until the Assassin's League messes up this place before taking off. You guard the prison entrance and exit. After the jailbreak begins, whoever comes out will be killed!
Remember to put on this pair of headphones, I made them myself, they only have the frequency band for the two of us.”
Lv2's engineering transformation of a pair of headphones was easy, after all, the following facts were not suitable to be said publicly in the Bat Network.
"I'll try, Boss."
Kite Man put his pistol on his back with a special sling and started the swarm mode of the flight engineering bomb. He looked at the prison in the dark night and said:
"I can't blockade for too long by myself. After all, my flying backpack can only carry a limited amount of ammunition."
"don’t worry."
Mason put on the invisibility cloak, picked up the suitcase , and said to his younger brother:
"After the news of the massive zombie appearance is sent out, the Batfighter will definitely come to support you, and your mission will be completed at that time. Remember to take your camera and walk around the area a few more times. I received news that someone will 'rob graves' nearby tonight.
It’s best to take pictures.”
"Um?"
The kite man who was putting on the tailored "bulletproof flight suit" was stunned. He looked at the boss who disappeared in front of him, scratched his head and said:
"Are there any ancient buildings nearby? Who comes here to rob tombs? The boss's serious joke is really funny."
But Mason wasn't kidding.
If Charles could have taken a photo of Zack happening to be near Blackgate Prison doing bad things when the zombie crisis broke out, he could have saved himself a lot of trouble in finishing up.
With the help of the invisibility cloak, Mason easily entered the heavily guarded Blackgate Prison.
He did not doubt the determination of the Gotham police tonight. Even though the organization was rotten, Gordon brought them here and once the war broke out they would have to be brave for their lives.
Mason just felt that the police didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Although he couldn't guess how the League of Assassins planned to break into Blackgate Prison, judging from the fact that those black-clad killers had blatantly used heavy firepower to hunt him down in the city, their offensive was bound to be far beyond the expectations of the Gotham police.
that's the truth.
Five minutes after Mason took his position, the bat headset in his ear sounded an alarm, and Barbara Gordon warned in a hurried tone:
"A transport plane took off from Gotham Airport and suddenly turned back to fly towards Blackgate Prison. It is expected to arrive in one minute, where the Assassins will drop.
The plane is suspected to be equipped with heavy weapons!
Dad!
Evacuate the ground! Find cover! "
Mason, who was hiding in an office in Blackgate Prison, immediately saw several sheriffs rushing out of the prison. But a few seconds later, Kite Man's somewhat shocked voice also sounded in the makeshift bat communication network:
"Hey! Can you hear me? Is this how this thing works? Never mind. There's a mole in the Gotham Police! I saw those guys attacking their people outside.
There are also people in SWAT shooting randomly!
Damn it, that infantry fighting vehicle is shooting at its own people, it’s chaos outside!
There was something in the sky, the transport plane was coming down.
etc!
It opened the hatch…”
There was no need for Kite Man to do a "live broadcast of the battlefield" for what happened afterwards. Even though Mason was hiding inside the prison, he could still hear the roar of some terrifying weapon in the air that could fire at a rapid rate of at least 6,000 rounds per minute.
The vibrations and sharp explosions caused by the flying bullets hitting the ground made it easy to imagine what a hellish scene it was outside the prison at that moment.
The terrible roar even caused chaos in the prison.
"The League of Assassins assembled a civilian version of a gunship? How creative!"
Mason shook his head, watching as the prison inside and outside became chaotic because of the unique raid. When the first helicopter of the Gotham Police Department was shot down on the top of the prison and exploded and burned, and the black-clad killer of the Assassin's League began to descend rapidly in the air, he also started to act with the box.
"boom"
A running policeman was hit on the back of the head by the butt of a swung gun, and fell to the ground while still running. Mason bent down and took a bunch of keys from his belt, then took a step forward and opened the nearest cage in front of him.
The chaos outside the prison had alarmed the prisoners inside. The moment the cage was opened, a fierce big man in an orange prison uniform was ready to rush out and "do something."
It is necessary to introduce this peculiar place, Blackgate Prison.
This place is not only the highest-security prison for serious criminals in Gotham City, but also the product of a special law promoted by Prosecutor Harvey Dent, once known as the "Bright Knight of Gotham", before he became the criminal boss "Two-Face".
The criminals who can be imprisoned here are truly vicious and evil elements who will not be eligible for parole for at least ten years.
In other words, it is impossible for the prisoners in this prison to be wrongly accused. The reason why Kite Man was imprisoned here after robbing the bakery was because of the "blessing" of his former boss, the Joker.
Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum are the veritable "dragons and phoenixes" of Gotham City's criminal world. Any guy picked out of these two places is a "strong man" who can get VIP treatment in the Nine Levels of Hell.
Therefore, when facing the bald man in front of him, Mason had no psychological barriers to attack.
He stood at the doorway under the cover of his invisibility cloak, raising his hand cannon and pulling the trigger as the guy approached.
With a bang, the bald man's leg was blown off and he fell to the ground. As he screamed and blood splattered, a tall and thin young man in a gray windbreaker suddenly appeared like a magic trick.
The guy squatted on the ground and opened a shabby black suitcase, then looked up and gave him a gentle smile.
"Damn yellow monkey!"
The prisoner who was shot roared in anger.
Mason shrugged his shoulders and didn't get angry about the racist abuse. After all, the man was about to die, so let him vent his anger.
He pressed the switch of the suitcase's traceless extension spell, then picked up Old K's voodoo birdcage and fished inside.
When the black bird cage that looked like an ornament was taken out of the box, there was already a tabby cat inside, meowing loudly at the smell of blood.
Professor McGonagall was blown into two pieces by a bomb before, but she was still alive because of her zombie attributes. Mason threw the broken Resurrection Stone into her wound, and under the effect of the Deathly Hallows, she has now recovered.
Not only has the body that was injured by the explosion healed, but even the horrific scars and disgusting sores on its fur have been removed, making this zombie cat now look no different from an ordinary tabby cat.
Except for those creepy scarlet eyes and the dry and hoarse cry that could scare an adult to pee in the night.
It stared at the big man lying on the ground and cursing in front of it. The smell of fresh flesh and blood stimulated it to turn around in the birdcage angrily, scratching the cage with its alienated claws filled with zombie toxins.
Mason placed the birdcage on the ground and enlarged it to normal size, then held the door.
He comforted:
"I know you are hungry. You don't have to hold back your claws. Everyone here who is scratched by you deserves death. What they need is not a cage, but a bullet to free themselves from the darkness of life.
The people here are very ill.
You, little cutie, are the medicine I give them for their miserable lives.
Go ahead.
Enjoy the sinful delicacy."
"Click"
The door of the birdcage was opened, and the zombie cat Mag turned into a swift lightning and pounced on the villain in front of him with a shrill roar. The latter waved his arms to try to stop him, but soon he screamed.
Mason didn't even look at him as he put away the birdcage, picked up the box and left. He then threw the knocked-out policeman into the utility room and locked the door, then, in stealth mode, opened a row of cages in the prison area.
The prisoners were dumbfounded.
They could not see anyone but could hear the door unlock.
But these bad guys did not want to miss this opportunity to run towards freedom, so they all ran out without much hesitation, but found that the heavy iron door leaving the prison area was still locked tightly.
Standing behind the door, Mason, wearing an invisibility cloak, listened expressionlessly to the guys dancing and shouting wildly. There was no unusual fluctuation in his eyes.
He opened the cages.
However, those who truly repent in prison are unlikely to step out, so those who feel pain for their past actions and seek to repent will survive the impending disaster.
It's like an invisible line; anyone who crosses it deserves death.
As Mason turned to leave, shrill cat calls broke out along with the roar of the crowd in the prison area where there were nearly two hundred prisoners. Along with the rising smell of blood and the sporadic banging sounds of several cell doors being closed again, there were also bursts of anger.
Well, Miss Magg will certainly enjoy this sinful and decaying feast tonight.
——
"boom"
Violent explosions continued to ring out on the walls of Blackgate Prison, caused by armed men outside bombarding the reinforced walls with heavy firepower.
The machine guns in the sky outside were no longer roaring, probably because the assassins from the Assassin's League had completed their airborne landing and took control of the situation.
Inside the prison, the police trapped there could look up and see the still-burning wreckage of the helicopter on the roof, like a pillar of fire in the dark night, highlighting the ominousness of the night.
"Run, Gordon, while you still can."
Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, wearing prison clothes, was guarded by ten fully armed special police officers, with seven guns pointed at him.
It only takes one bullet to kill this short and fat guy here.
But he, who should have been a prisoner, was now sitting in his chair arrogantly with an attitude of being in control of the overall situation. Although his hands were still in shackles, his face did not have any loneliness that a prisoner should have, but instead had an expression of relaxation and complacency.
Commissioner Gordon was sitting opposite him, staring at him with a gun in his hand.
The Penguin didn't care.
He waved his hand, ready to have a good talk with Gordon, but the two missing fingers on his left hand made this action, which should have been full of deterrence, a little funny.
"Unlock my handcuffs, Gordon, and I'll make sure you and your men leave this prison alive tonight."
Oswald listened slowly to the gunshots that were getting closer and closer. He grinned , and seemed to have returned to the posture of that powerful gangster boss.
He said:
"There's nothing unspeakable between us, Gordon. You know, I'm different from the rest of the town. I can even come to an unspoken agreement with that bat.
I just want to make money, unlike those crazy people who want to turn the world upside down.
You see, the fact that Batman sent me to Blackgate Prison instead of Arkham already speaks volumes, Gordon, and tonight's events will have a dignified end.
But if you delay any longer, it will be difficult to resolve this matter.”
The stubborn chief said nothing, but several sheriffs around him began to exchange glances.
A few seconds later, several grenades exploded in the corridor near Oswald's prison area, blowing the heavy black iron door off on the spot. Then, fully armed killers in black filed in.
They were all wearing black bulletproof vests, carrying guns and knives, and wearing uniform style helmets that only revealed their eyes.
Their actions were swift and extremely cold. Behind them were police officers and even prisoners blocking their way, and thick smoke was lingering in the air.
This is the elite!
Unlike the black-clad killers who were hunting down Mason, these black-clad warriors who broke into Blackgate Prison with a clean and efficient armed assault were the true backbone of the Assassin's League.
While this team was breaking into the Penguin's cell, five other action teams had already entered other wards of Blackgate Prison. They wanted to release those prisoners and form a team that could cause a large-scale riot in Gotham.
Just like planning ahead.
But this is not the end.
This riot was just a prelude to a larger action.
They need the financial and network support of the local boss, the Penguin, so Oswald can't spend the rest of his time leisurely in prison.
“Stop!”
Commissioner Gordon grabbed the Penguin, put his gun to his forehead, and shouted to the indifferent black warriors in front of him:
"Or I'll kill him!"
"You should probably just do it, Gordon."
The held Penguin Man was not afraid at all , and even his tone of voice did not change.
He grinned and jokingly said:
"When threatening others, you should just do it directly. Talking a lot will only make you look weak and guilty, especially when my friends are all tough guys.
Let me tell you a secret, Gordon.
Even if I die, they can revive me.
I saw it with my own eyes.
You've already lost!
Now, be respectable.”
"Click"
In response to the Penguin's request to surrender, it was Gordon who pulled up the hammer with his fingers. The director's finger was already on the trigger, and the more than 30 black warriors in front of him also stopped at the captain's instructions.
The confrontation inside and outside the cage made the remaining police officers dare not breathe. Just as the smell of gunpowder became thicker and thicker, a strange roar broke the silence.
It sounded like the growl of some large dog in an open space.
But the sound was so dry and shrill that it made people feel creepy, and along with the barking of the dog, there were screams that were getting closer and closer.
The Penguin was stunned.
The police were stunned.
The black warriors were also stunned.
Commissioner Gordon's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. Then, he heard Mason Cooper's uncontrolled screams from the bat earphones in his ears.
The boy seemed to have seen something horrible, and he shouted with an uncontrollable scream:
"Gordon! Run! Monsters are breaking out of the prison!"
Then, the next second, Gordon and the others in the cell saw the terrifying black shadow chewing a half-human and rushing towards them... Oh my God! Is the gate of hell opening here?
What the hell is this?
