Chapter 3609 The Edge of Tomorrow (Twenty-Nine)
Chapter 3583 The Edge of Tomorrow (Twenty-Nine)
"Is this the construction site of Gotham University Metro Station?" Victor sat in the car and looked outside, but saw only a circle of walls and some scattered mechanical equipment.
"We are far from the city center and the construction speed is not that fast. Only the underground tunnel near the site has been completed, and it is not even connected to the nearest factory station." Schiller said looking at the map.
"Do you want to go down and have a look?"
Schiller nodded, put away the map and pushed open the car door. The two walked towards the construction site. It rained lightly in the morning, and the workers had not resumed work yet. The entire construction site was empty and there was no security personnel.
"The security situation in Gotham has improved a lot. They dare not send people to stay here." Victor stared at the excavator next to him and said, "If it were before, there would be nothing left here in less than an hour."
"Thank James' blessing. The kind of master who can take the excavator away in batches within an hour is now in prison."
Schiller walked in first, and Victor followed him. He took out his freezing gun and had two frozen grenades on his waist.
"How is your night vision?" Schiller asked.
"Not very good." Victor shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly if it's a little darker."
"There should be no electricity here, and we two don't have flashlights. Otherwise, you stay outside and I'll go in and take a look."
Victor was a little hesitant, and he also knew that his biggest weakness was that his body's force was too low. If the frozen gun was not shot and was approached by the enemy, he would have no ability to resist.
The light below is dim and there is no lighting equipment, so it is difficult to hit the frozen gun. If it is really taken hostage, Schiller will be dragged down.
So Victor handed the freezing gun to Schiller and said, "Press this key to freeze the ice cone at a rate of fire. If the other party has a gun or a bomb, press this key to quickly freeze an ice wall as a cover..."
Schiller nodded. But even if there were people inside, he would just take a look and would not have a head-on conflict with the other party.
If the other party is a killer, then kill it; but if it is a terrorist who intends to create an explosion, then the police must be arrested, and it is best to be able to capture it.
Schiller walked down the already built subway entrance. Maybe it was because there were many underground water veins here, and the bottom was relatively humid and there was not so much floating dust. However, it could not be said to be dim, but there was no light.
Schiller's eyes quickly adapted to the darkness. He continued to walk forward with the very faint cold light emitted by the frozen gun. The passage was not long and he soon arrived at the construction site that was still under construction.
Because it is connected to the factory area further west, the subway tunnel passes from below Gotham University. Schiller speculates that his current location should be in the middle of the girls' dormitory and the A13 teaching building.
This place is already considered the central district of Gotham University. Because it is a must-pass way to the cafeteria, there are many students coming and going, and if you enter the school from the main entrance, it is also a must-pass way to register for freshmen.
Standing at the end of the passage for a while, Schiller was able to confirm that there was no one here. However, he found some strange materials at the pile of building materials in the corner, which seemed to be assembled into bombs.
Schiller took out his cell phone, turned on the flash, and took a few photos. Just as he was about to leave, he heard something coming from the entrance.
Schiller immediately walked inside and hid behind a load-bearing pillar. But as the sound got closer, he heard that it was not the sound of one person's footsteps, but several people, and there were men and women.
"God, it's too dark here, hurry up and turn on the flashlight."
"My head still hurts a little. What did that damn guy who looked like a scarecrow that day sucked me in?!"
"You can speak quietly, if someone finds it, it will be troublesome."
"Where are there anyone here..."
Task Force X? Schiller, who was hiding behind the pillar, frowned slightly. How could they come here? Could it be that they are the terrorists who came to detonate the bomb?
No. Schiller thought that if these people wanted to make a big noise, there was no need to make bombs. Moreover, Amanda helped politicians to improve the status of the Federal Shield. If she had a terrorist attack, her organization would be over.
Especially the employees she is looking for are more distinctive than the other. If someone photographs it and is related to a terrorist attack, she will definitely find her head. Amanda cannot be stupid enough to cause such trouble.
Schiller guessed that someone might want to frame Amanda. To be precise, he wanted Amanda to be the culprit of this horror incident so that he could take him out. When this group of people appeared near Gotham University, they might have been photographed.
This group of people looked strange in shape. An explosion occurred where they appeared. They said it had nothing to do with them and no one would believe it.
Schiller turned to look at the pile of explosive materials. The thing has not been assembled so far, so it should not explode immediately. He has to find a way to get out of here first.
Although this X Task Force has no clown girl and clown, it is not that easy to deal with. The revenge demon who can control the flames is almost invincible in such a small space, and there is no chance of winning head-on.
At this time, the members of Task Force X began to walk towards Schiller. Schiller went around the other side of the pillar and did not appear in their sight.
He thought about it, and simply took advantage of the darkness to come to the wall on one side, and rushed towards the passage as quickly as possible.
When he ran, he was naturally heard. But the people from Task Force X just looked at this side, and when they found Schiller, Schiller had already run into the passage.
"Chasing!" is the voice of the Death Sagittarius.
But Schiller did not run out in one breath. He came to the other side of the passage, raised his freezing gun, and pressed the button of the ice wall. In an instant, a device was shot out, and the moment it landed, a cold mist rose up, and then condensed into a thick ice wall.
It is not so much an ice wall, but rather a huge ice cube, with a thickness of more than two meters, which directly blocks the passage without a trace of gap.
When Schiller went in, he found that the tunnel was not completed and the inside was not ventilated. If the passage was blocked, there would be a confined space. Humans would not stay in it for long.
Task Force X has at least five or six people this time, and the time it can be shorter. If you don’t want to suffocate yourself, you have to find a way out.
Schiller trusts Victor's dense ice quality. Since the other party said that he could withstand the impact of a bomb, it would definitely be possible. But if he could withstand the impact of a bomb that could blow the subway station into the sky, he would definitely be able to withstand the attack of Task Force X.
If the ice cubes cannot be run, then they will have only one way to leave the small space underground, which is to dig out the ceiling above their heads.
Although this may also ruin the subway station, after all, school has not yet started and there is no one nearby, so the impact can be minimized. Moreover, there is no large-scale explosion, which is not a terrorist attack and will not attract too many people's attention.
More importantly, the place where they were trapped was already in the area of Gotham University. If a hole appeared on the ground, it would definitely be repaired. At that time, the maintenance personnel could see the situation underground through the hole, and it would be difficult for the terrorists to do something.
After leaving the ground, Schiller and Victor went to the principal's office. As soon as they arrived, they felt the tremor on the ground.
Shivana was startled and was about to issue an earthquake alarm when Schiller stopped him.
"It's not an earthquake. Someone wants to make trouble in the subway station tunnel. I'm trapped there. They should be trying to dig it up now."
He explained the causes and consequences to Shivana, and then said: "You can call the police now and say that someone found that they were illegally doing underground work, causing the ground to collapse and damage to the road surface and teaching buildings, and then sued them for compensation."
Shivana immediately called the police. Schiller called Harvey and said, "Stander Dante, there is a case here, which is about damage to public facilities. Can you please come to Gotham University?"
After hanging up the phone, Schiller and Victor drove to the base of the Tomorrow League. Copper and Halle had already received the photos taken by Schiller. When they arrived, the others were discussing it in full swing.
"How did that guy attract Task Force X? You can't send them a message saying that you were going to make trouble there, so Amanda asked all Task Force X to be dispatched, right?" Coppert asked.
"Amanda is not so kind." Halle curled her lips and said, "If she knew someone was going to blow up the subway station at Gotham University, she would not think about helping. Instead, she would let Task Force X make something else when the police were attracted."
"How do you think of the leadership of Death Shooter?" Schiller asked after sitting down.
"Of course not very good. I can still play POSE for half a minute when facing the clown, so I can only say that my leadership skills are slightly stronger than my cat."
"That's it." Schiller said, "Although Amanda is not smart among smart people, she is far better than ordinary people's ability to support such a big stall. But Death Sagittarius is not, they are just a group of mercenaries, how smart can they be?"
"Hey!" shouted the death knell, who was playing billiards next to him.
"I didn't say you," said Harley, "but they weren't that stupid, right? They went there as soon as they seduced them? There wasn't even anything there."
Schiller sighed and said, "This is what Amanda is stupid. She is strictly guarding Breniak and firmly refuses to allow these people to use Breniak's power. If they also install super housekeeper software, they will not be fooled by such a mentally retarded."
"Well, then, smart Brenniak," said Halle. "The bomb found at the Gotham University subway station is also a semi-finished product. Do you have any ideas?"
"Scatter a wide net and catch more fish." Breniak said very concisely, "you can change different detonation positions according to the situation we searched. This only means that they are not short of raw materials."
"Don't say some obvious facts. You know what I'm asking. We've photographed a lot of bomb raw materials. Where do so many materials come from? You have to give us an explanation, right?"
"I'm investigating," Brenniak said. "There are currently locked in three cheap chemical plants, all of which have recently had bulk raw materials transaction records, but the procurement process is very formal. What I need to query now is who misappropriated raw materials that should have been used in other ways."
