The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 11 Desperate
The orange school bus ignored the red lights, left a mess of three or four cars colliding at the intersection, and drove towards the edge of the city.

In the compartment, a group of clowns put plastic anti-falling self-locking pull ring rope buckles on the wrists and ankles of the five hostages, including Li Ang, which they could never untie by themselves.

Without even thinking about it, most of the surveillance cameras in Gotham City were urgently called, and countless images were transmitted to the big screen of the police station through cables, closely monitoring the direction of the school bus.

It was impossible to escape. Although there was no police car in sight, Bucky knew that those cops had already set up roadblocks at the exits of the surrounding roads, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.

"Go to Sullivan's Island," Bucky ordered.

The driver speeded up silently, and the street view outside the car window receded rapidly. The high-rise buildings reflecting the setting sun gradually faded away in sight, and finally came to a cross-sea bridge.

As we all know, Gotham City is a natural port city, consisting of several islands, and each island is connected by bridges and underground tunnels.

The natural terrain of these islands is divided into different urban functional areas. From north to south, they are New Town and Shelton Park where the rich live, Narrow Island where Arkham Mental Hospital is established, Upper East Side, and fashion controlled by Penguin. District - This place is labeled Boutique Business District, Gotham Old Town, Civic District, and Financial District.

The Gotham Police Station built on the Cape Triangle is located in the southwest corner of the city, separated from Sullivan's Island, and across the sea from Herman Island, where serious criminals are held.

Sullivan's Island is an important passage to the port on the south side of Gotham. Gangsters rule the island like an emperor, constantly smuggling tobacco, alcohol, cars, and even sex powder, child prostitutes, organs, guns and ammunition.

No one dared to touch this lawless place. Even the police officers of the Gotham Police Department could only hide in bulletproof cars when they were on patrol, for fear that bullets flying from nowhere would explode their skulls.

If you have to add an adjective, then Sullivan's Island should be able to be linked with "criminal rampant", and its appalling degree is close to that of a Mexican city where drug lords are everywhere.

"Stop them before entering the island," Gordon, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the police car, said into the intercom.

A dozen police cars had already parked in front of the bridge, blocking the entrance airtightly. Those policemen who hid their figures behind the bulletproof doors watched nervously at the school bus that was slowly parked by the side of the road.

"Hey superhero, what do you think those cops will do?"

Bucky smiled and pressed the gun to Li Ang's cheek, and asked in a classical opera aria.

Li Ang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still said calmly, "Sorry, I've only been in Gotham for a few days, so I don't know much about the local police's behavior."

"Based on what I know about the Gotham police, these civil servants who receive dead wages must not go forward in person, and they will turn around and call SWAT (meaning Special-Weapons-Attack-Team Special Weapons Attack Team) for support."

Bucky pointed his forehead with a pistol, and talked eloquently: "So how does SWAT solve this situation?"

There was no sound in the carriage, and out of the corner of Li Ang's eyes, he saw a white girl beside him who was also being held hostage, with her head bowed and sobbing silently.

"No one answered? What a pity."

Bucky rubbed his hands together, and said, "They will hide in the grass, yes, that grass, carrying battering rams with long guns and short cannons, bowing their waists, waiting for the opportunity like those lionesses on the African grasslands."

With a trailing sound, he unzipped a package under his feet, and took out two cans of spray guns commonly used by American youths for street graffiti.

What is this for?
Li Ang frowned slightly, but saw Bucky inserting the gun back to his waist, holding the spray gun on both sides, and applying black spray paint on the car window.

In a few seconds, all the windows of the entire school bus were completely covered with spray, and the Gotham police outside could no longer see the slightest thing clearly through the binoculars.

Bucky threw the spray canister on the floor of the car, stood up and stretched himself, and said, "When all the images are blocked, those special police officers are like kittens covered by plastic bags at a loss—you will Do you watch those cute pet videos on Youtube?"

No one answered, Bucky shook his head and sighed, and took out five pairs of gas helmets with pig-nose respirators from the package.

Li Ang's pupils shrank suddenly. Having collected information on the Internet for a long time, he recognized at a glance that this is the British S9 mask body. Seams are closed to minimize the infiltration of dust, heavy smoke, mist, poisonous gas and poisonous vapor.

In addition, the window of this mask is also made of impact-resistant polycarbonate material and coated with anti-fog and anti-scratch ink color rubbing coating, which not only ensures light transmission, but also reduces the damage of strong light to the wearer.

Is it necessary for a mere bank robber to get such a thing?

Li Ang's thoughts changed sharply, and he saw that Bucky distributed the anti-virus helmets to several other clowns, and after they all put them on, he continued in a low voice: "First of all, SWAT, which has lost its source of information, will use stun bombs to fight with you in a hurry. The first wave of tear gas impact can not only dispel the fighting power of the gangsters, but also protect the hostages.

Second, wearing gas masks like us, they would climb engineering ladders, smash car windows with cone hammers, and file in.

In the end, the SWAT police used rubber-coated batons to sweep down the gangsters who had lost their ability to resist, successfully rescued the hostages, and became the headline of the Gotham Times the next day. "

Bucky clapped his hands happily, and laughed wantonly like a child amused by a talk show: "Unfortunately, I am a clown, a unique and distinctive clown, and an indispensable sycophant on the stage forever!"

Finally, he took out a silver tray commonly used in luxury hotels from the package, handed it to the girl next to Li Ang, and said, "Guess what's inside?"

The blond girl sobbed and shook her head wildly, Bucky laughed wildly and opened the lid of the tray.

Tick, tick.

A time bomb wrapped in black tape with a scarlet digital panel on it.

"Let me set a time for it first, don't start it now, and wait until the time is up before starting the timing."

Bucky smiled and set the time bomb to 20 seconds, and glued the bomb firmly to the girl's skirt.

"Do you really think that I am trying to rob the Gotham National Bank of hundreds or tens of millions of dollars?"

He reached out and pinched the red foam clown ball on the tip of his nose, shook his head and said, "No, I want more, I want to tell the world in front of the 800 million citizens of Gotham City, with US dollar bills, hostages and SWAT ashes, brother The Tan Port renovation plan is doomed to fail. Those officials who want to achieve political achievements, as long as they dare to stretch their hands to Gotham Port, they are destined to be hit like a thunderbolt."

Li Ang asked blankly: "If this is a bomb, how do you escape?"

"Well that's a good question."

Before he finished speaking, a tiny injection syringe suddenly fell out of Bucky's sleeve, and injected a whole tube of medicine into Li Ang's neck with lightning speed.

"It's packed with high doses of barbiturates (hypnotics) and chlorzoxazone (muscle relaxants). I'd better be wary of a teenager with a broken arm who's still calm."

With just one breath, Li Ang felt that all the strength in his body was pulled away, and every muscle could not gather strength, so he could only slump on the ground and stare blankly.

"As for how to escape, you don't have to worry about that." Bucky smiled and kicked away a large stack of canvas bags, revealing the steel plate in the center of the carriage.

The steel plate was inlaid with a pull ring handle, and when Bucky bent over and pulled it, the steel plate was lifted up, revealing the sewer manhole cover that had been opened under the school bus.

"You see, the ancient oriental sage is called 'Sun Tzu'. He once said: 'Make a decision before you act, and you will gain when you know it'."

Bucky shook his head and said, "According to the plan, now as long as those special policemen shoot the shock bombs into the car windows, I wear a gas helmet and press the timing button of the time bomb, and jump into the sewer to escape with my men. You see, those SWAT police who just rushed into the car, your hostages, and these dollar bills will be blown into the sky with a bang."

As if following the script, the SWAT police who were ambushing in the grass beside the road climbed up, carrying the cylindrical launcher on their shoulders, and the shock bombs fired from the black lacquered barrel spun through the window of the school bus.

The fuze adapter strikes the safety lever, squeezing the charge support and cap plug, triggering the magnesium stun charge.

Li Ang, who lost his ability to control his body, was attacked by the strong light of 800 million candles and the loud noise of about 170 decibels. Because of the image retention effect of human visual cells, he will lose his vision for about 5-10 seconds, and because of the noise , the tympanic membrane ruptured and hemorrhaged, both ears lost hearing, and the semicircular canal was impacted, and the body could not maintain balance.

The shock bombs did not have much impact on the clowns. Bucky's men jumped into the sewer pipe through the steel plate at the bottom of the car. At the same time, tear gas was also thrown into the car, and the special police outside the car had already begun to charge.

"Hahahaha, the game has started! The game has started!"

Bucky laughed wildly, pressed the time bomb stuck to the girl's skirt amidst the smoky tear gas, and immediately jumped into the sewer.

Countdown, 20 seconds.
