Chapter 59 Inertia of Thinking
Chapter 59 Inertia of Thinking
Catwoman's words made Li Wei's heart tighten: "Hold on! I'll send reinforcements for you right away!"
"No need!" Catwoman said urgently. "I've already set a trap along their route, which will delay them for a while."
"You all focus on dealing with Klein; you must capture him!"
Li Wei knew Catwoman's temperament; once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it. He could only tell her over the walkie-talkie, "Be careful, and notify me immediately if anything happens!"
The only response he received was static from the walkie-talkie.
In the pitch-black factory, Batman had cornered Klein.
He was covered in dust and sweat, breathing rapidly, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
"Do you think you've won?"
Klein's voice was laced with a maniacal laugh. "Maroni's men will be here soon. Even if they capture me, someone will rescue me!"
"No one can save you," Batman's voice was icy. "This must end today!"
Batman walked step by step toward Klein, his footsteps echoing through the factory.
Seeing Batman's posture, Klein knew there was no way out.
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
He suddenly pulled out a syringe filled with green liquid and stabbed it directly at Batman.
Batman reacted quickly, immediately firing a batarang that struck his wrist.
The syringe fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Green liquid splattered all over the floor, and a small amount evaporated into gas that lingered in the air.
Klein inhaled a small amount of the toxin, and his eyes suddenly went mad.
He lunged directly at Batman, intending to take him down with him.
Batman dodged to the side and landed a heavy punch on Klein's face.
Klein groaned and fell to the ground. Batman immediately went over and tied him up with a special rope.
"It's over," Batman said calmly.
...
Plant entrance.
Batman slowly led the bound Klein out of the factory.
Looking at Klein, who was being carried like a dead dog by Batman, Levi finally felt a weight lift from his heart.
We finally caught that damn guy!
"Take Klein to the police car and send him to the high-security area of Blackgate Prison. Keep a close watch on him!"
Levi instructed the officers around him to take Klein away.
The officers immediately stepped forward and put Klein into the police car.
Just then, gunshots and explosions rang out in the distance.
Li Wei knew that Catwoman and Maroney's team had started fighting.
He immediately led several police officers and ran in the direction from which the gunshots came.
When Levi arrived, Catwoman was hiding behind an abandoned car, exchanging fire with Maroney's men.
Maroney has a large number of men, some of whom are armed with heavy weapons, and Catwoman is gradually losing ground.
Looking at the rocket launcher that the guy opposite him was carrying on his shoulder, Li Wei felt a bit absurd.
Judging from the heavy firepower configuration, he couldn't tell for a moment which were the regular troops.
"Fire!" Li Wei shouted, leading the officers in an attack.
Maroni's men were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of police officers and were thrown into disarray.
They were attacked from both sides, and their fighting capacity was greatly reduced.
Catwoman perked up when she saw Li Wei arrive.
He rushed out from behind the car, whipping it out rapidly.
He grabbed a gangster's wrist and snatched the submachine gun from his hand.
Under the combined attack of Levi and Catwoman, Maroni's men were quickly routed, throwing down their weapons and scattering in all directions.
Li Wei did not give chase; the most important thing now was to control the situation in the slums, not to pursue the fleeing gangsters.
After the battle, Catwoman walked over to Levi, her face weary: "Klein was captured?"
"Yes, they've already been sent to Black Gate Prison."
Li Wei nodded, looking at the wounds on the catwoman's body, feeling a pang of guilt. "You're injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," the catwoman shook her head. "Now that it's all over, see you next time."
Li Wei looked up at the catwoman, wanting to say something, but the catwoman had already turned around, leaped into the alley next to her, and her black figure quickly disappeared.
Watching the direction she disappeared in, Li Wei unconsciously smiled and turned to devote himself to the subsequent cleanup and evacuation work.
The chaos in the slums was gradually brought under control, injured citizens were sent to hospitals, and trapped people were evacuated to safe areas.
Gordon led his officers in a thorough cleanup of the slums, arresting rioters and gangsters who took advantage of the chaos.
Standing on the street in the slums, watching the streets gradually return to order, Li Wei was filled with emotion.
Although the crisis had temporarily passed, he knew that this was only part of the battle against Maronny and Klein.
Maroni has not yet been captured, and his remaining forces still exist.
Although Klein was imprisoned, the threat of the fear toxin was not completely eliminated.
After Scarecrow was imprisoned in Blackgate, the chaos in Gotham was temporarily relieved.
Levi remained vigilant, knowing that Maroni was definitely operating in the shadows.
A dangerous person like Klein would never settle down easily.
Given the chance, they will definitely make a comeback.
...
"I suggest intensifying the crackdown on the remaining forces of Maroni."
In the police station's conference room, Li Wei stated his views: "Focus on investigating their strongholds and weapons depots."
Although Maroni has temporarily disappeared from public view, his influence remains immense.
We must eradicate them completely as soon as possible to prevent them from resurfacing.
Two days have passed since the chaotic night, and Levi still vividly remembers the rocket launchers that Maroni's men carried that night.
Thinking about the security situation in China before his time travel, Li Wei made this suggestion.
"I have another suggestion," Li Wei said, looking at Gordon. "Arrange for someone to monitor Blackgate Prison's communications and visitation records 24 hours a day, and keep a close eye on Scarecrow's every move."
This guy is very cunning and skilled at psychological manipulation.
He is likely maintaining contact with Maronny through various means, plotting a prison break or other conspiracy.
"Dude, your suggestions are all excellent."
Gordon rubbed his temples, but didn't immediately agree. "But you know, this is Gotham..."
The police can't do whatever they want; we can't search all of Maroney's properties, and the mayor wouldn't allow us to do that...
As for monitoring Blackgate Prison... listen to me, we don't have the authority to do that.
Gordon's words surprised Levi; he hadn't expected such an answer.
But he quickly realized that he had brought China's system into Gotham.
Even on a global scale, China's security environment is in a league of its own for a country of similar size.
"Dude, I understand what you mean."
Li Wei said, "Since the system doesn't allow us to do this, I'll take the police officers and do it!"
At this level, I believe no one will interfere with us.
Li Wei's idea was simple: to make progress one step at a time.
If things get a little better every day, Gotham's security will improve one day.
"Buddy, do it your way, I believe you can do it!"
Seeing that Li Wei understood what he meant, Gordon patted him on the shoulder.
He was once an idealist, but the quagmire of Gotham made him face reality.
In Gotham, justice doesn't always prevail over evil...
