Chapter 29 Guess who I modeled Penguin on
"Vico, do you understand the habits of the Haigou people?"
"My king, why do you ask this?"
Arthur respected his teacher very much. Vico was the one who taught him to become Neptune. Without him, Arthur would not be where he is today.
"It was my friends on land, you know Vico, the Justice League, Batman who told me that there was a group of Trench people who had targeted someone in Gotham and it was you who taught me about Atlantis. , I think you should know some information.”
"I'm sorry that I can't answer you, my king. Even the people of Atlantis know very little about them. They only know that they are sealed in the depths of the ocean."
Arthur was a little troubled. He had always regarded the ocean as his professional field in the Alliance, but Batman couldn't answer anything he asked.
"Well, if even Vico can't help me answer it, maybe I have to find Mera. She can always answer the questions I ask. Sometimes I suspect that she is more qualified to take over as Aquaman than me."
Vico said humbly: "No, my king Arthur, in my eyes you are the greatest king."
"Okay Vico, my brother Orm is the King of the Sea now. If you want to flatter him, just flatter him. Thanks."
When the communication ended, Vico suppressed the respect on his face and threw the communicator into the sea water.
Along with the bubbles, a flash of bright red rose, and the sea around Vico was instantly dyed blood red.
The golden magical energy condensed into a scepter and fell into Vico's hands, his eyes becoming more determined.
"For my king Arthur to regain the throne, and for the survival of Atlantis civilization, I will do whatever it takes, even if I have to betray you, my king."
A pair of white eyes lit up under the sea, and the smell of blood floated in the sea breeze, which made them extremely excited.
He raised his golden scepter.
"Quiet, beasts, it's not time for you to take the stage yet, be patient, King Om will take action soon."
……
Time returns to the present, and the people of Gotham are taking refuge. Evacuations of tens of millions of people are rare in the history of the United States, and this has attracted the attention of media in major cities.
"Everyone, this geological disaster predicted by Wayne Group caused tens of millions of Gotham citizens to leave their homes. I originally predicted that this was impossible and people would not be obedient. Now it seems that I was wrong."
Daily Planet reporter Louise was in Gotham to witness the scene. Anyone who knows Louise knows that she must have applied for it on her own initiative - and may not have been approved yet.
"People are following the instructions to enter the shelter in batches, and no one even jumps in line. Although there is suspicion of stereotypes, I still want to say, my God, is this still the crime capital Gotham I know?
Could it be that the Wayne Group has a deeper control over Gotham than I thought? Louise warned everyone watching to be wary of capital! ”
As if he noticed the live broadcast here, a short and fat old gentleman squeezed into the camera, pressed the button on the umbrella, and hit the old man in front of him to the ground with a spring fist without leaving any trace.
"Oh, sir, are you okay? Let me help you up. Leslie, come here and take the old man to the emergency medical center."
Penguin called his men to send the confused old man away. His yelling successfully attracted Louise's attention.
"That's one of Gotham's gang leaders, the Penguin! The legendary enemy of Batman, maybe he knows something."
Due to the size of the Penguin, Louise had to bend down and ask: "Mr. Cobot, I saw you and your men rescuing the wounded. Aren't you the leader of the gang? Why do you do this?"
Penguin... Oh no, the humble and courteous Mr. Cobot took off his hat to pay tribute to Louise, just like a traditional British gentleman: "I admire Miss Louise for having the courage to go deep into the scene. In fact, I have been paying attention to the questions you raised. To do this kind of work is just to be deliberately smeared into the role of a gang leader.”
Tears flowed from the corners of his narrow eyes: "I have been ridiculed since I was a child because of my physical defects. When I was a child, they called me "Penguin" because I was short and fat. Now they still call me "Penguin" and say that I have done all kinds of bad things. They are The same people, they want me to surrender.
And I never stop.
If there are any viewers in front of the TV who know the history of Gotham better, they may know the meaning behind the surname Cobot. This city was founded by my ancestors. How could I hurt her? ”
Seeing Louise's suspicious eyes, Cobot changed the topic and finally gave out some useful information.
"Actually, this evacuation operation was initiated by the Wayne family and I. After all, the four major families are in the same boat. Have you noticed that no one is taking advantage of the situation on the street?
That’s thanks to Director Gordon and I. We worked closely together and took the opportunity to rectify the public order in Gotham..."
Louise finally understood. The Penguin was playing the sympathy card again, and bound the Wayne Group and the Gotham Police Department to him, as if he was going to clear his name and go ashore.
She quickly tried to change the topic, her eyes wandering, and suddenly Louise's eyes lit up. She pulled the camera: "Look, that's Aquaman. Legend has it that he is the king of Atlantis. Let's interview him!"
Louise took the photographer to the beach to find Neptune. The Penguin was not angry. Anyway, there were more than just Planet Daily media present. He had plenty of money for marketing, but Louise was a very special woman. She had a special relationship with Superman. relationship, that's why he came over to steal the spotlight.
Penguin looked in the direction of Indian Hill: "I've helped you control Gotham's base, don't let me down, Batman."
A drop of rain fell on his hooked nose. Penguin looked up at the sky and frowned slightly: "I remember that the weather forecast said it was sunny today..."
Neptune stood on the coast, staring at the ocean without a trace of ripples. He felt strongly uneasy. The ocean had never been so calm, which meant that someone had interfered with this sea area.
A microphone was put to his mouth, and Arthur recognized Lois. He had no choice but to make Superman so dazzling that even Arthur, the person around him, was impressed.
"The fish are scrambling to escape from the entire northeastern coast. There is some kind of force brewing. Reporter, please leave here together with others."
How could the reporter be moved by Arthur's two or three words? The more dangerous it is, the more excited she is.
"Danger? Is it a tsunami caused by an earthquake? I heard that animals can always sense the coming of disaster before humans do. Are you going to use the power of Neptune to stage a "Moses Dividing the Sea"?"
In front of the King of the Sea, Louise didn't think she would be in any danger.
Arthur's face became more solemn, and he grabbed the trident: "The king of the sea is not me, but my brother...he is coming!"
Born of the same blood, Arthur sensed the arrival of his brother, Orm... and an army.
The heavily armed Atlanteans lined up behind Orm, silent.
"Brother, you have trained the army very well."
Arthur did not lower his trident as he spoke to his brother.
Orm wears a helmet that only exposes his mouth, and the bright red eyepatch makes him look extremely evil, but Orm's tone of voice is surprisingly soft.
"No, brother, they have always been so good, even if they follow orders."
Arthur smiled: "They were not like this when I was in office."
Louise smelled gunpowder.
"Uh, Neptune? I don't want to disturb your brother's party, but he brought too many "friends". Is today some kind of festival in Atlantis?" She hoped so.
Orm raised his head and looked at Louise with disdain: "Arthur, my brother, aren't you with Mera? What is the relationship between this inhaler who doesn't know etiquette and you, your maid on land? ”
The Atlanteans have always believed that humans are an evil race, and therefore have a very bad attitude. This understanding is engraved in their culture. Only Arthur, who lives in human society, is different.
"She is my friend. If you don't say this, Om, why are you coming to Gotham?"
Orm chuckled: "Brother, you lack control over your kingdom. Humanity launched a missile towards Atlantis, and several of my people died as a result. I am here to confirm whether you know about it.
What I saw was that they had no humility towards their king. ”
Orm's disappointment and anger dissipated a lot. The attack was not his brother's order, which made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
"I bring the most powerful power to Atlantis, let me help you put down the rebellion, brother."
Arthur can hear the sincerity of his brother Orm. He really wants to help him, in the way of invasion, well, this is very consistent with the style of Atlantis.
"Listen brother, I am not their king. That missile was an accident. Based on my understanding of land countries, if they really want to attack Atlantis, they will definitely do it in one step and will not stop until it is flattened.
That's why I made that plan with you, [Atlantis Battle Plan]. ”
Before the Justice League was formed, Arthur's attitude towards humans was far different from now. In order to prevent the attack of humans on land, he and Orm wrote this plan together.
"I remember this, brother, and I am about to activate it after informing you."
Arthur hugged his brother: "No, brother, listen to me, you go back first, that plan is outdated and no longer applicable."
Orm used the helmet's scanning system to read the data of Louise and photographer Jimmy: "But these breath-breathing species are obviously very fragile, you see."
A stream of water swept Louise into it, and she waved her hands in panic.
"I can take her life away with just a move of my fingers."
Arthur disappeared in front of Orm. He got into the water and rescued Louise. After confirming that she was fine, he took a deep breath and looked at Orm seriously:
"Brother, I just saved your life."
Orm was confused.
"Although human beings are very fragile, there are also strong individuals."
A man in a red and blue uniform landed in front of Arthur and took Louise from his hand. His eyes glowed red when he felt the cold skin.
"Arthur, is this your family matter or a diplomatic dispute?"
"Superman..." Arthur stood in front of Orm, "No, Orm has no intention of attacking."
Dachao was not really angry: "I hope you can handle it well."
Orm was very dissatisfied with Superman's attitude towards his brother: "Watch your words, and don't look down on me!"
Superman saw the pleading on Arthur's face, swallowed the frozen breath he was about to exhale, and landed on the ground.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Arthur continued to persuade his brother to leave.
On a tall building in the distance, Vico watched this scene and shook his head: "My King Arthur, diplomacy is certainly a skill that a king should have, but this is what you need at this time."
Vico held his scepter high.
"No need to suppress yourself anymore, Haigou people, release your nature!"
At the same moment, the special car carrying Penguin to the sanctuary suddenly stopped.
The Penguin sitting in the back row almost knocked off his front teeth. Fortunately, his hooked nose was long enough to act as a buffer, but the pain was really painful.
"Give me a reason not to sink you into the sea." Penguin rubbed his nose and opened half of his eyes.
Bang!
The car window was broken, and a claw covered with fish scales reached in, grabbed the driver's head and dragged him out. The Penguin saw that the poor guy was instantly torn into five pieces and ate them.
"Okay, that's reason enough."
The Penguin used his umbrella to open the car door. He was not fat and bulky at all, and his skills were extremely flexible, thanks to his sparring with Batman.
"I'm still far behind Batman than you are."
The Penguin squatted down to avoid the swiping claws. He opened his umbrella, and a rope net was launched from the umbrella head, covering a trench tribe.
Closing his umbrella again, the Penguin fired a cannon at the trapped Trench Clan, hitting it through.
After blowing on the tip of his umbrella, Penguin kicked the Haigou Clan's smashed head.
"I knew about the urban legend about crocodiles living in the sewers of New York, but I never thought there were murlocs in the sewers of Gotham."
He looked at the opened manhole cover on the road, where these fish-man monsters should have crawled out.
"Gala La"
An indistinct roar came from the mouth of the pipe, confirming Penguin's guess. Soon, three more Trench Clan crawled out.
Looking at the Trench people who were eyeing him, Penguin twitched his lips: "Well, I know a crocodile man who also lives in the sewers. Do you know him? He and I are friends..."
"Quack!"
"Da da da da!"
This time the Penguin switched to machine gun mode. The bullets tore these crazy monsters into pieces, and the Penguin easily eliminated them.
But his face was extremely ugly.
The Penguin is convinced that he can make a profit from this incident, provided that Gotham still exists and the Gothamites are still there. Although the number is not yet known, if these bloodthirsty monsters are allowed to rush into the shelter, more than a few hundred people will die. People.
This doesn't fit in with Penguin's plan, unless he stops, in which case he will lose all the chips he has pressed down.
"Gotham's sewers extend in all directions, and some of them built in recent times are even used as escape passages-damn it! Everyone in the Penguin Gang, listen to me and get down the well!"
Unlike the previous use of small and medium-sized gangs to consume each other, Penguin mobilized his cronies this time.
He chose stud.
Batman! You will win every time, and this time, it must be the same!
On the coast, Superman heard the Trench Clan's cry for the first time and sent Lois to a safe place. Arthur understood what this meant.
He could also see the fire burning within Gotham.
"Om, you really are hiding something from me. Those monsters, you let the Trench clan kill civilians while I was being held back by you!"
Lightning danced on the golden fish scales, and Arthur roared at Orm, tasting the bitterness of betrayal.
This time it was Orm's turn to feel aggrieved. He was obviously prepared to take this breath for the sake of his brother and take a step back, but before he could even take a step forward, a scapegoat was thrown at him. Who could resist it?
"I don't know what the Trench tribe is that you are talking about. I am Orm, the King of the Sea, and I am upright. Arthur, if you doubt me, then come on and use the blood of the enemy to rebuild our trust."
A bolt of lightning struck down, split into two branches and landed on Arthur and Orm's trident.
"It's time to fight, brother."
Chuanbao is really a lucky star, my god of inspiration! Ps: I just noticed today that I am on the new book list. I hope everyone can vote so that the book can be in the top ten. I am trying to break through the 6,000 gene lock
