Chapter 3593 Edge of Tomorrow (Thirty-nine)
Pamela withdrew her thoughts and looked at the screen in front of her again. Amanda said, "We have seen from the background of the other party's live broadcast that it is an abandoned factory in the West District, which is where Team 1 encountered the clown before."
"The intelligence we got before we went there showed that the liquid in the chemical pool is highly corrosive. If you fall in, you will definitely die. We can't expect this madman to have any mercy, so it's best to rush over and rescue the people. This will also consolidate the confidence of investors."
"Now I will arrange the combat mission..."
Amanda took the floor plan of the factory and began to describe her tactical layout, which made the real tactical masters Batman and Deathstroke frown frequently.
To be honest, Amanda's tactical ability is really not that good. She obviously used the kind of assault plan she learned in the secret service school, which is to simply kick the door directly, then suppress the fire, kill everyone who breathes, and then send in the agents to finish it off.
Even without a tactical master, any normal person with a sharp mind can tell that this tactic is not working. Not to mention whether Harley Quinn has any other conspiracy, just emptying the magazine is not feasible.
Although the factory was empty, there were still some other equipment. What if it was blown up? What if the sparks from the bullets ignited the combustible materials?
Moreover, the ground is hard concrete and the walls are iron sheets. How many stray bullets will bounce back after such a volley of bullets is fired?
The hostages are all fragile and fragile. If a stray bullet hits their heart, lungs or brain, wouldn’t the rescue operation be in vain?
Just as Deathstroke was about to speak, he was pulled back by Pamela, who shook her head gently at him.
He thought about it and decided that it was true. Harley wanted to be caught anyway, so she would definitely show a flaw and then admit defeat. There was no point in having such a sophisticated battle plan.
The second rule of mercenaries is "whoever pays is the boss". You have to do whatever the employer says. If he thinks this plan is good, then use it. After all, it's not you who will die. If you keep opposing him, he might get angry and stop hiring you.
So the bell stopped talking.
As expected, Batman and Amanda had a quarrel. Batman believed that they were a group of superpowers and should not be treated the same way as ordinary agents.
Amanda believes that the demise of Team 1 was due to their over-aggression. They thought they had super powers and didn't do a good job of basic defense, which resulted in them being wiped out. Batman is also responsible for this, so Batman's opinion should not be listened to.
Batman was indeed a bit at fault in this regard, after all, he was there when Team 1 was destroyed, and he was unable to save anyone. Amanda accused him of this reason, and he couldn't refute it.
But he thought about it and decided that he could just command the situation when the time came. Unfortunately, Amanda had already anticipated this.
He took out a box from behind the table and said, "This is a combat headset for you. I have organized a professional and mature command team to convey combat orders to you in the command center. I have only one request, that is, you must resolutely execute my orders, otherwise even if the operation is successful, I will send you to a military court!"
No one else had any objections, so they put on their headphones and prepared to leave. Only Batman wanted to struggle a little more. Unfortunately, if Amanda was the kind of person who listened to advice, she wouldn't be like this now.
Batman has no choice, and they even think that Amanda in this universe is already cooperative enough. If it were Amanda Waller in their universe, it would be completely unreasonable.
Basically, Amanda in every universe is a pure troublemaker. Other villains at least have some difficulties and reasons, or they must have an overall goal, such as ruling the world.
Amanda didn't. Amanda was just a troublemaker. She did it even though it didn't benefit her, as if she was born to cause trouble for others.
At least Amanda in this universe is still trying hard to fight Brainiac. She can be called an unexpected helper, and we can't ask for too much.
Just like that, the two Batmen also put on headphones and got on the helicopter with the task force members and flew towards the West Side of Gotham.
Even though they have seen the difference in this Gotham, it still feels different looking down from the sky. Batman even said somewhat sentimentally: "I don't think we should disturb their peaceful life."
"Their peaceful life was destroyed not because of us, but because of Brainiac. Although he is not doing anything now, you know he can't keep up the pretense forever."
"Sorry, I forgot that your universe is being invaded by Brainiac. You are right, that evil artificial intelligence is not a good thing. We really need to take precautions early."
After getting off the helicopter, several people walked along the factory road to the edge and came to the abandoned factory area overgrown with weeds.
This is not an uninhabited area. A new factory is already under construction next to it, and the buildings here seem to be demolished to build a new factory. Construction vehicles are coming and going nearby, and many trucks are heading towards the construction site.
Some concrete mixers were heading east, cranes and other construction equipment were heading south, and a truck was heading towards them.
When Batman saw the purple suit of the driver sitting in the truck, he instinctively felt something was wrong. But by the time he confirmed that it was the Joker driving the car, the truck was almost in their faces.
"No! Disperse quickly!!!"
As soon as he said this, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts, but each had his own way of hiding.
Pamela was lifted up by the vines, far higher than the truck, so it couldn't hit her at all, and Victor was pulled up with her as well.
Deathstroke had the fastest reaction. Before the Joker even stepped on the accelerator, he had already run to the side. When the Joker hit him, he was already completely out of the collision distance.
Charles, who played the wise man, had telepathy and naturally knew that the man was going to hit him. He also pretended to have expected it and ran in the same direction as the bell. Although he did not run as fast, he also arrived at a safe area.
The others were in bad luck. Batman stood in the middle of the team. Although he reacted quickly, he was surrounded by teammates. When he was about to run out, he was blocked by the polka dot man next to him.
Injustice Batman ran in the opposite direction, but saw Rat Girl standing there motionless as if she was scared. In order to save her, he had to run back.
The samurai sword and TDK are even more outrageous, just like the NPC in the game who only knows one action, one holding a sword to block, and the other crossing his arms to block in front of him.
As expected, these people were all knocked out.
Fortunately, the road leading to the abandoned factory was not that smooth. The truck rushed down the road again, but at a low speed, it only knocked them about three meters away.
But the results were still impressive. The two Batmen had several ribs broken in order to protect their teammates. Katana and TDK were hit so hard that they vomited blood.
The Polka Dot Man and the Rat Girl were protected, so nothing would happen. But as luck would have it, the Polka Dot Man was about to be released.
The man who was hit was rolling on the ground, and he was about to explode. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pamela quickly picked him up from mid-air and threw him aside, but the height was too high and his leg was broken.
Jack the Clown sitting in the driver's seat opened his mouth, while Harley, who was standing on the roof of the abandoned factory looking over here, was even more stunned.
"Are you sure you want to be caught by them?" Jack held the intercom and hesitated, but finally said, "Let's not talk about whether it's embarrassing to be caught by these people. Is your life really safe if you join this kind of organization?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deathstroke had already pulled out his gun. After all, the enemy had already appeared, and he was still standing there in a daze, which was indeed a bit unprofessional. For the sake of his salary and expense report, he had to react faster.
Batman beside him was moved, and quickly straightened his upper body and looked over here. Sure enough, he must be the world's number one mercenary!
Deathstroke did a tactical roll, approached the truck, pulled out his submachine gun and fired a burst of shots - then knocked himself out.
“Hahahahahaha!” The Joker quickly rolled down the car window. A furry green head stuck out from the window and said to the fallen Deathstroke, “You didn’t expect that! Bulletproof glass!”
Of course, Deathstroke knew that Jack's car was equipped with bulletproof glass. Besides, the range of the submachine gun was not that short, so he didn't have to run up to the front to shoot. He did this just to let the rebounding bullets hit him. How could he show his hard work without getting hurt?
Deathstroke is a cyborg, and he is not afraid of bullets at all. The force of the rebounding bullet is not that strong, and at most it will hurt the flesh. If the medical expenses can also be reimbursed, he can also buy more painkillers and adrenaline to save for future missions.
Deathstroke lay peacefully on the ground, calculating the amount of medicines he would consume for future combat missions.
Batman, who had just straightened his upper body, lay down again weakly.
The Joker obviously didn't expect that his one collision could produce such a big result, and he was a little overwhelmed. If this continues, won't Task Force X be wiped out? Isn't this a bit too hurtful to Amanda?
The main thing is, wouldn't this be a bit too costly?
The clown hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be disdainful and reversed towards the factory.
Fortunately, Batman knew that all Jokers in this universe were abnormal, and he was prepared for the fact that the Joker had no interest in Batman, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about the Joker's actions, and thought he was in a hurry to torture the hostages.
Amanda saw this scene through the cameras on their bodies and roared wildly in her headphones.
The few who escaped unscathed came to check on their teammates. The ones who were hit hardest were Katana and TDK, who were unprotected and knocked away. They were basically unable to move.
Then came the polka-dot man who suffered secondary injuries, but the colorful polka dots in his body seemed to have the ability to heal wounds, and in a short while his broken leg had turned into a man who could limp but could still walk.
The Vengeance Demon was also hit, but the god in his body protected him, so he was fine. Rat Girl was unharmed under the protection of Batman. King Shark was in good health and was fine.
Both Batmen had broken ribs, but were able to move. However, they were unable to do any strenuous exercise and could only take on a commanding role.
In the end, Katana and TDK, who were the most seriously injured, stayed where they were and waited for helicopter rescue, while the others continued to move towards the factory.
The others still marched forward with a heroic and confident step, but Batman, whether because of injury or something else, had a bleak and bleak future.
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking about what would happen if Batman joined the Suicide Squad, hahaha
