The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 46
For residents in the coastal areas of the United States, facing the danger of hurricanes is a common occurrence. After the Weather Bureau issued a hurricane warning, various departments in Gotham City began to operate in an orderly manner.

The accumulated water on the city road was knee-high, and the shops on both sides of the road could not be opened at all. Ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars drove by one after another. Occasionally, large trucks drove onto the road, using hooks to lift the broken down Cars are towed away so as not to cause traffic jams.

Housewives and housewives braved the heavy rain and took pictures of long queues outside large supermarkets like Wal-Mart, just to buy the mineral water, cooking oil, and canned food they needed for the next few days. living supplies.

Fortunately, because of the hurricane, many power lines in the city were interrupted and went on strike. Li Ang turned left and right and drove the van to the integrated private storage in the south of the city.

Unlike Huaguo, every household in the United States has the habit of renting a private warehouse. This kind of private warehouse is not large, and it is usually used to store some odds and ends or large objects that cannot fit at home (such as semi-abandoned cars, small speedboats, A medium-sized trampoline for children in the backyard), the United States needs to pay a large amount of "disposal fee" for throwing large garbage, so many people directly put rotten TV sets and refrigerators in the warehouse, and wait until the contract expires. Then pay a fee to renew the contract, and let the storage company take away all the items in the warehouse to cover the cost.

Li Ang went to the countryside and rented a private open-air warehouse in the south of the city. Because of its privacy, no one (even the employees of the storage company or the police) will be able to enter it during the contract period, and the storage company has the right to refuse. Provide owner information to third parties, which is quite reliable and safe.

It happened to be a rainy night, and the place was empty. Li Ang first got out of the car and pulled up the shutter door of the private warehouse, then reversed the car and drove in, and took out dollar bills, gold nuggets, guns, raincoats, latex gloves, and knives from the car. The axes were stacked in the corner of the warehouse, covered with opaque canvas before driving away.

He drove all the way to the outskirts of the city, found a dump for abandoned cars, parked the truck in a remote corner, and then ran back to the city in the rain. motel.

The old TV in the hotel room was still firmly showing the emergency warning information issued by the Gotham City Council. Before Li Ang had time to rest, he rushed into the bathroom, diluted the common hypochlorous acid bleach that can be bought from the supermarket, and dipped it in The floor of the room was cleaned on the towel to prevent possible blood stains on the floor from being detected by the luminol reagent.

After roughly cleaning, Li Ang used his laptop to look up the list of TV programs for tonight, and then lay down on the bed to take a rest.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, he received a call from Domingo, saying that some of Christina's classmates were lying in the hospital now, and asked if Li Ang could go to his house to take Elizabeth and the others to the hospital.

Li Ang readily accepted the request, took a quick shower, changed clothes, took a taxi to Elizabeth's house, rushed to the hospital with the twins, and bought a few cups of hot coffee in the coffee shop outside the hospital.

A large number of tents have been densely set up in the hospital hall. These are the homeless citizens whose houses were flooded by the rainstorm. Among them are sick patients who have been flooded by the rain, have a cold, fever and constant cough, and nurses in white uniforms. The doctor was so busy that he was running up and down all floors.

According to Domingo's instructions, Li Ang went downstairs to the fourth floor. The "surgery in progress" indicator light was on the eaves of the operating room. The student is receiving first aid.

Outside the operating room, Christina was sitting nervously on a green plastic row of chairs. Her father, Domingo, stood with a middle-aged sheriff with an orange beard, asking the girl who was still terrified.

"Son, do you remember that the man who killed many gangsters had any other characteristics besides the mask?"

"I'm sorry, I can't remember." There were still red marks on Christina's neck and wrists, and she choked up and said, "I can't remember anything."

The sheriff hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask something more, but Domingo stood in front of him and said in a bad tone: "Sheriff Gordon, my daughter needs to rest, for God's sake, she I just survived the murderer, if there is any problem, Christina and I will go back to the police station tomorrow to record the testimony."

Gordon sighed, tonight is really terrible, even the hurricane, the disappearance of Rachel Dawes from the District Prosecutor's Office, and the more frightening thing is that all the adult men of the Sapa family were massacred. These things are under the pressure of Sergeant Gordon In his heart, he felt a sense of suffocation.

He didn't even have time to care about whether the remaining Gotham gangs would pursue and retaliate on a large scale after the Sapa family was purged, or happily embezzle the vacuum forces left after the disappearance of the Sapa family.

The most urgent task is to find out who slaughtered the Sapa family, the Assassin Alliance?Radical mutants?Even foreign gangs.

Sergeant Gordon's brows were deeply frowned. At this time, the guardian of the city, Batman, fell off the cliff, and his life was uncertain. The remaining police force had to help rescue the affected citizens.

Li Ang, who was being pulled by the hem of his clothes by the twins, walked over slowly, and greeted Domingo and Christina. Gordon, who had just wanted to leave, seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and said to Li Ang, "Uh, you are going to the time the clown robbed the bank"

"Li Ang." The monk waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "We met in a certain ward of this hospital last time, Mr. Sheriff."

"Oh, is it?" Gordon frowned slightly, and he sighed casually: "The weather is really terrible. Has the power not been cut off where you live?"

"It's okay, the motel where I live has a fairly reliable infrastructure," Li Ang replied with a smile, "But the weather is really cold, and I've been under the covers watching David Letterman on CBS. A late-night show, I just had the Ellen DeGeneres show tonight, and I had to get out of bed as soon as I got a phone call."

Domingo patted him on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, Li Ang, don't complain, I'll give you a little more salary some other day, won't it be enough?"

"Then it's settled." Li Ang nodded, sat down carelessly next to Christina, and handed her the hot coffee in his hand.

"Thank you."

Christina nodded gratefully, took the coffee carefully, took a sip, and rested her head on Li Ang's shoulder in relief.

Gotham is still shrouded in the wild hunting hurricane, and the cumulus clouds cover the sky, pouring severe rain into the world, and at the intersection of the sea and the sky, the sun is rising.
