Chapter 5 5 What are you doing with a few hundred dollars a month?


Chapter 5 5. What are you doing with a few hundred yuan a month?

In the Batcave underground in Wayne Manor, the old butler Alfred made himself a third cup of coffee and sat in front of the super cool Batcomputer with tired steps.

The twenty-four screens in front of the old man were monitoring various important locations throughout Gotham City in real time.

When Batman went out on night patrol, Ah Fu helped to complete such evil-sounding things as monitoring the city. Of course, when there was Robin in the past, this job would be left to Robin.

"The young master is attacking Black Mask's drug manufacturing factory on Naihe Island. The progress is in sequence. The East District bank was robbed by thugs. Calculate the time and plan the route. The young master will just be able to deal with them on his way back.

There was a gun battle in the Odsburg district. The density of firepower was very high.

Let me see”

Ah Fu pushed up his reading glasses, took a sip of strong coffee and zoomed in on the monitor. After a few seconds, the old man's expression became serious, and he immediately dialed the communication.

"Afu, I'm busy."

Batman's deep voice came.

But the old housekeeper ignored it and said briefly:

"Mason Cooper has been attacked in Gordon's safe house. He is on the run and may need backup."

"?"

The master asked in surprise:

"Lucius helped him build that safe house, and it has a very high level of confidentiality. How could it be possible... Wait! It's not a gang killer who's here?"

"No."

Ah Fu stared closely at the fast-moving men in black on the screen. He pursed his lips and said:

"Master, Lei Xiaogu's assassins have returned to this city."

"Plan the best route for the Batmobile immediately! Send out the Batplane to support Mason and save the young man!"

Batman's voice also rose a few degrees, and Alfred immediately became busy in the Batcave.

On the other side, Mason Cooper, who was in the war zone, didn't know that Batman was already on his way, and he felt like he was really going to die.

These killers in front of them are indeed the Penguin's trump cards.

Their combat literacy is infinitely higher than those of the gangsters. To give the most intuitive example, even if Mason has combat assistance like a bug, it will be difficult to hit them with the configuration of the aiming frame and preset ballistics.

These guys are on the move all the time.

Anyone who has played FPS games knows that hitting moving targets is much more difficult than fixed targets.

In this rarely-occupied four-story apartment, those silent men in black were walking quickly in groups of three, as if they were playing a cat-and-mouse game with Mason, but their attack methods were very brutal and they encountered obstacles. Destroyed directly by explosion.

There were also gunmen with night vision goggles guiding him, making Mason's escape very difficult.

Fortunately, the combat auxiliary free aiming frame can at least mark Mason's movements when the enemy is approaching, just like a small radar, which allows him to barely maintain a slight advantage in dangerous gun battles.

Commissioner Gordon's gun had been loaded with bullets, and Mason used it as a "hidden weapon" to throw it out so that the man in black who was rushing in front of him ducked down to avoid it.

Taking this opportunity, he stepped forward, turned the handle of the umbrella, popped out the fighting spear, and stabbed forward fiercely, showing some style of rifle assassination.

"Successfully performed a melee execution, the fighting skill branch is opened, currently Lv0."

The man in black who was attacked widened his eyes, probably because he didn't expect that this black umbrella was so tricky.

But being pierced through the heart made him fall to the ground instantly, and Mason quickly grabbed the gun in his hand. In the chaos, he had no time to aim accurately. The young man raised his hand and fired a hail of bullets to push back the killer outside the door.

He didn't have time to read the prompt carefully, so he rushed to the window and smashed the glass with the butt of his gun, glancing down.

This is the second floor.

You might die if you fall.

"Dang"

A round object was thrown into the house. Mason only had time to look back before he cursed, grabbed the window frame and jumped down.

There was a loud bang.

The grenade that exploded in the room caused dazzling fire to spurt out from the window, and the impact was like a heavy punch on the young man, causing him to roll and fall on the lawn outside the apartment.

The soft ground allowed Mason to avoid the danger of a headshot, but falling from a height caused severe pain in his legs.

Maybe a fracture?

"Poof"

Mason grabbed the self-administered hemostatic agent that Commissioner Gordon had given Batman before and injected it into his leg.

The cold liquid injected into his blood vessels allowed him to barely regain his mobility after a few seconds, but the darkness hidden in the crisis around him forced him to limp and escape forward.

Those Penguin killers have already come around.

There were several cars parked at the intersection ahead. In the light curtain in front of Mason's eyes, the free aiming frame had locked onto more than a dozen enemies. This situation of ambushes from all sides made the young man feel despair.

But before those guys could encircle them, a familiar sound of bombardment sounded from the dim sky.

Mason looked up and saw that the ghostly Bat fighter was swooping down from the sky. The high-speed rotating machine gun kept firing at the ground, blasting the vehicle in front of him and creating a way for the young man to escape.

"It's you who are the master at the critical moment."

Mason was overjoyed to be saved from a desperate situation. Holding the Penguin's umbrella and dragging a snatched gun, he ran towards the combat cover, while running backwards and shooting casually.

He didn't know that Alfred was controlling the fighter remotely at this time, but Mason knew that the appearance of the Bat-Fighter was his only chance to escape.

He had to run to an open area to catch the fighter plane before it landed.

Behind him, in the darkest night of the day, the bat fighter planes patrolling back and forth and covering the man in black with constant firepower pushed the man in black back into the apartment. The firefight between the sky and the ground behind him had the momentum of a frontline battlefield.

But this is a scene that happened in the main city of Gotham.

I have to say that the fact that gangsters raided a police safe house and had the city's superheroes come to save them is really Gotham-esque.

"I'm here! Come on!"

Mason gritted his teeth and endured the pain and climbed to the roof of a two-story building. In addition to his legs, he had at least two bullet holes bleeding.

Thanks to the injection of analgesic that stopped the bleeding, otherwise the pain alone would have been enough to overwhelm the young man.

But even so, he was already at the end of his strength.

After only seven or eight minutes of fighting with the well-trained killers in black, Mason was exhausted. The little pride he had after beating up the gangsters had long since disappeared.

Defeating the lowest creature on Gotham's food chain is really nothing to be proud of.

He waved his hand in the dark night and watched the Bat Fighter flying down in his direction. A feeling of joy for surviving the disaster made the gray-faced young man smile.

But before the smile dissipated, three rockets flying out from the darkness behind dragged their long tail flames roaring into the ghostly fighter plane.

Afu's control skills were really impressive. He made the Bat Fighter do a classic falling leaf to avoid the first two rounds, but was hit by the last one on the tail.

In the light of the huge fireball soaring into the sky, the Bat Fighter dragging black smoke slanted past Mason's head like a bird with broken wings, and finally crashed into the large square three blocks away. A burning torch in the dark night.

"!"

Mason stared at this scene dumbfounded.

A cold aura enveloped my heart at this moment.

To actually be able to take down Batman's fighter plane, this is definitely no longer an ordinary gang killer!

And now he was being chased by this group of lunatics. Without the fire support of the fighter planes, he was tired and injured, and he immediately felt that his future was bleak.

"Penguin's subordinate Ma Zai is too hard-working, isn't he?

I know he bought you insurance and treated you well, but is it really worth doing this for a boss who is sent to prison?

With so little money every month, what are you trying to do with your life? ”

Mason cursed and got down on the roof of the two-story building. He placed the gun he grabbed on the eaves and pointed it in the direction of the men in black.

His leg was injured, and escaping so rashly was the only way to die. The only hope now was to wait here until Batman's magic weapon came from the sky.

Fortunately, I have distanced myself, and I should be able to delay it for a while with combat assistance.

Bang!

A sudden gunshot made Mason roll to the side with his face covered. The bullet that had just shattered the scope of the rifle in his hand grazed his cheek like a knife, almost killing his head.

"There are snipers!"

This idea rushed into the young man's mind and he immediately held up the Penguin's umbrella. Almost at the same time, the second bullet hit hard and hit the bulletproof surface of the armed umbrella.

As Mason watched, the sharp warhead spun like a dagger, got through a hole in the umbrella, and hit the ground beside him, splashing a stream of sparks.

The Penguin's umbrella can protect against small-caliber bullets, but it can't protect against sniper bullets!

Mason's heart suddenly went cold.

Are Gotham's gangsters so professional? To chase me, an ordinary person, you even use a sniper?

Mason quickly took off his coat, wrapped it around the closed umbrella, and put his baseball cap on the tip of the umbrella. This was a method he learned from film and television works to deal with snipers.

He didn't act rashly.

Instead, he lay down on the ground, took the rifle with the shattered scope, and quietly set it up on the other side of the eaves.

He no longer paid attention to the constantly moving free sighting frame on the light screen, and focused all his attention on the sniper's position.

After taking a deep breath, Mason squinted and lifted up the camouflage item in his other hand. However, the opponent was obviously not fooled and did not use the camouflage. Instead, he calculated the distance and fired three shots at where Mason might be lying.

The random bricks on the eaves beside his head made the young man break out in a cold sweat, but the moment the opponent fired, a small aiming frame finally popped up in front of his eyes.

Judging from the distance, this is at least five hundred meters!

The gun in his hand was a short-range submachine gun. At such a long distance, the preset trajectory even showed a projectile trajectory, but it didn't matter. Mason adjusted the height of the muzzle so that the preset trajectory coincided with the aiming frame.

Pull the trigger.

Bang.

The flying bullet brought up a star point.

There was no indication of execution by shooting, so it seemed like he missed.

Mason was a little disappointed.

But circumstances soon no longer allowed him to remain disappointed. He turned his gun and pointed it at the commandos in black below who had rushed around the building and started shooting.

And at a window of the black-smoking apartment five hundred meters away, a small figure dressed in black clothes frowned.

He looked at the scope of the sniper rifle in his hand that was cracked by the bullet, and then touched the faint scratch on his cheek.

"Such accurate shooting at this distance is close to the category of 'super shooting'. The information from the Penguin Gang is wrong! Is that guy really just a 17-year-old dropout?"

The little man said to the two commanders in black standing behind him:

"The combat goal has changed, capture him alive!"

A few seconds later, Mason, who was under great pressure, suddenly felt that the number of bullets fired from the surroundings had significantly reduced. This made him feel relieved and at the same time felt even greater pressure.

The killers of the men in black have an absolute advantage.

If they stopped shooting now, they would definitely take him back alive and be tortured. The Penguin Gang definitely didn't have any rules about three swords and six eyes, but the outcome of being caught as a traitor would definitely not be good.

"We have to fight hard!"

Mason threw away his empty rifle and grabbed Penguin's armed umbrella.

He breathed heavily, waiting for the first wave of men in black to rush onto the roof, then opened his umbrella and rushed out, emptying all the bullets in the umbrella handle in one breath. When he was surrounded by people, he twisted the umbrella handle to let the green Poisonous gas sprayed out from the tip of the umbrella.

The poisonous gas spray lasted for a few seconds and then changed to flame spray, causing several men in black to scream and fall from the roof of the building, but Mason was also slashed several times.

He was forced to the corner of the eaves, and he twisted the handle of the armed umbrella to the end with all his strength. The hollow and sharp umbrella tip popped out with a bang. At this distance, he directly pierced the heart of a man in black.

Mason couldn't even stand still.

There was even dizziness in front of him. Seeing the people in black surrounding him, he used his last strength to grab the handle of the umbrella and pulled it hard, and the hidden staff and sword was pulled out.

This would be his last act of defiance.

"Buzz"

The low roar of the engine sounded from the other end of the street. After smashing two walls in succession, the black tank with a thick and stylish shape and decorated with bats rushed into the battle zone like a tank.

This is exactly the "magic weapon descending from the sky" that Mason has been waiting for!

Although it was still nearly a thousand meters away from Mason's location, the arrival of the Batmobile still caused the men in black to immediately adjust the focus of their operations.

Especially the short commander.

He seemed particularly excited.

"Batman shows up! He's mine! Haunt him!"

"Batman appears!"

The same thought occurred to Mason.

The young man's tense spirit suddenly relaxed at this moment, and the excessive blood loss caused his vision to go dark, and he just grabbed the staff and sword and fell from the eaves of the two-story building.

This move will definitely result in a headshot.

But just before Mason completely passed out, he felt himself being caught by a pair of strong hands, and what came into view was a face with a strange mask.

"Hello, Penguin Betrayer."

The man inserted a sedative into Mason's neck with a gentle tone, and whispered to the shaky young man:

"What a wonderful performance. It makes me feel that it is well worth the trip tonight. Well, sleep, you will not realize what a glorious opportunity you will get after you become one of us.

Anyway, welcome to join us.

Welcome to the Star Club.”

"Put him down!"

Several killers in black surrounded him from all sides.

Obviously, this guy who suddenly appeared was not one of their people.

Facing the bright sword and the dark muzzle of the gun in the hands of the man in black, the guy holding Mason sneered disdainfully, and with a flick of his hand, a one-handed sword with a golden hilt like a golden eagle spreading its wings jumped into his hand.

He waved lightly.

A dazzling stream of light erupted from the blade of the sword, causing the killers of the men in black who were caught off guard to be blinded. Then the muffled sound of the blade piercing the body resounded in the dark alley.

However, the battle was over in three or four seconds. It was a one-sided massacre. Surrounded by the bleeding corpses, Mason, who was carrying the unconscious man, even helped him take back the tip and accessories of the armed umbrella. The mysterious guy walked quickly When he reached the end of the alley, he opened a door.

He glanced back at the battlefield one last time.

With a little greed and desire, he looked at the black figure in the distance who was beating up the assassin of the League of Assassins with the help of the Batmobile, and then he shook his head with regret and walked through the door and disappeared. (End of chapter)
