Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

There is nothing to hesitate about.Joshua aimed his gun at the Joker's head.

Admittedly, the employees he got caught are some kind of hostages in the hands of the clown, but that has nothing to do with him, he is not like those vigilantes or superheroes, he doesn't care about the safety of the hostages, as long as it is not his family, the whole world is destroyed It has nothing to do with him, in fact, he can turn around and leave now, without paying attention to this lunatic.

But the clown here will hinder him from carrying out his plan. If he accidentally breaks any device settings, not only Gotham may be affected. It would be much more convenient if he was still locked in Arkham, but It's the same with death now, purely in terms of force value, the opponent is not his opponent, the only thing to consider is whether it will be interrupted again because of Batman's arrest of criminals, but Batman himself has no influence on him force.

Influential is Peter.

He initially thought that the movement he heard was from Batman, but it was different. This was different from the information judged from the last meeting, which made him hesitate because it was too similar to Spiderman, and the next second he was wearing red and blue The New York hero in black tights also appeared in front of him.

When he came here, Joshua had checked that the equipment was already in normal operation. After a certain period of time, it would execute the pre-set commands, in order to prevent accidents like clowns disturbing like now , he also set up a teleportation device, as long as this guy is settled and the teleportation is turned on, then he will leave here before the program executes the order.

The teleportable device can only teleport one person, and is a one-time use.In order to be concealed and convenient, certain functions need to be sacrificed. In the 23rd century, the settings that can be teleported by one person are very limited, let alone in the current era, and his original plan does not require more people to participate. It is in line with the plan to set it as a one-way trip.

However, when Peter arrived here, the situation changed a little.

Not to mention what kind of image he is in the other party's eyes, he doesn't know what Spider-Man wants to do here, but he can't let the other party stay in Gotham, and he doesn't think that Spider-Man's speed can Leaving the city from the center of Gotham so quickly before the program started, if he could, he wouldn't need to design a teleportation device.

He can also choose to teleport Peter away, but in order to prevent other people from accidentally discovering the teleportation device and misuse it, resulting in the loss of the backup plan in case of an accident, he set in the original design that only he himself can teleport, and Once the verification is successful—it must be an emergency that would take more time—the teleportation will start in the next second, and it is impossible to verify before letting Peter leave.

"Is this your foreign aid?" The clown looked at Joshua who stopped pulling the trigger because of the appearance of Spider-Man, and turned to look at the superhero from New York.

"Oh Joshua, this is not in line with the rules of the game." Saying so, the man who had just escaped from Arkham prison fired a shot at the bound hostage without warning.

This innocent ordinary man lost his life before he could even say a word.

Immediately afterwards, the clown aimed his gun at the standing reformed man, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "This is only fair."

This action is obviously used to restrict Spiderman. Joshua doesn't care about hostages, but these heroes do. He doesn't know if Joshua has any relationship with Spiderman, but even an ordinary person who has nothing to do with him may even Even lawbreakers like thieves and robbers can still restrain these so-called superheroes. Kindness is the biggest weakness of these guys.

The spider sensor also couldn't give Peter time to stop a lunatic's sudden movement, let alone his state at this time became worse after traveling for a long time.

It can't be said that his physical fitness or ability has declined. On the contrary, Peter can now almost clearly feel that he is much stronger than usual.

But there are also some thoughts that are not in line with his past principles that are also stronger. For example, now, a lunatic is pointing a gun at Joshua, he is threatening him, and he is going to hurt his spouse. The clamorous instinct makes him want to To rush up and break the other's neck, he also shot and killed an innocent person, he was completely innocent, no one can hurt his spouse.

But no, reason told him that he couldn't kill, and Joshua was still under the abduction of that man. That man was not an ordinary criminal, so he couldn't just rush forward like this, it would kill his boyfriend.

Joshua began to wonder if he should fight back.

The current scene is very similar to when they met for the first time. The difference is that when he was hijacked that time, the subject was just a novice prisoner who was still a little nervous. After diverting the other party's attention, Spider-Man counterattacked perfectly , and now Gotham's most famous lunatic, a super criminal, and Peter sees him pointing the gun at the Joker, and he looks like he wants to kill the Joker just like he looks.

Another question is, why did Peter appear here?

He knows that Peter has a mission today, and he also knows that the mission location is not Gotham at all. Alien invasions are always serious. He can deduce where the Avengers are fighting today without investigation, but Peter is at this moment. appeared here.

The whole scene suddenly fell into a stalemate, but soon, Joshua knew that he didn't need to think, because judging from the movement he heard, the Batman who the Joker said would come soon was indeed Already arrived.

The biggest weakness of the clown is that among all the people present, he is the only one who has no mutated or transformed physical fitness. He is a dangerous lunatic, but he does not have excellent hearing ability that surpasses ordinary people, nor does he surpass The force value of any one of them.

Bruce kicked over the green-haired prisoner who took out Arkham in his usual way of appearing like a ghost, and by the way, he unloaded the gun from the opponent's hand and subdued the clown.

"Joshua?" Batman's hoarse voice revealed real surprise and doubt.

He found Joshua when he found the hiding place, but he was still surprised that the other party would appear here. Since the last fight, he knew that Joshua and the clown had some intersection and hatred, but Joshua seemed to have lived in New York for a long time since then, and the clown was also imprisoned in Arkham. He didn't understand why the clown would find Joshua after he escaped from prison.

Then he looked at the device with an obviously sophisticated structure, and felt that his doubts had been answered to some extent——Joshua is indeed one of the most cutting-edge scientists in the world today.

"Why don't you explain to your backup what this is all about?" The man who was tied up and lying on the ground spoke to Joshua, his tone full of obvious malice.

The obvious malice caused Peter to be unable to control his instinctive tyrannical emotions towards those who tried to hurt his partner, and perhaps his anger at the clown who killed an ordinary person without hesitation. Throwing it from an empty corner, a piece of the wall was dented due to his excessive strength.

Joshua looked sideways at Peter's behavior, which is somewhat different from his previous personality, but after all, someone just died, and Peter couldn't save him in time. Maybe he was really stimulated, and Peter didn't kill him. Joker, this level of violence can be understood as being stimulated, and Joshua didn't take it to heart.

He didn't refute the clown's words, but opened the program console, and said almost completely frankly: "It will blow up the whole Gotham."

This city is hopeless no matter what measures and methods are used. To establish a real order, one can only try to rebuild after destruction. If that is also hopeless, then it can only be completely destroyed. This is an impossible A cursed land with true order.

Rao Bruce, who has dealt with Gotham's dark crimes for many years, also felt a little unexpected. He knew that the clown was crazy, but he didn't think that the clown would be so crazy that he would blow up the entire Gotham. It is true that this guy doesn't care about his own. Life and death, but this is still a bit too much.

That's right, Bruce completely regarded this as the work of a clown, and Peter did the same. He escaped from prison and threatened a cutting-edge scientist to create a weapon of mass destruction. Hostages can even explain why Joshua pointed his gun at the clown.

For Bruce, this can also explain Joshua's hatred with the clown at the beginning, and even the reason why the other party said "Gotham is too dangerous" when he resigned, has a different explanation until now; for Peter , the Joker can also explain the troubles that Joshua didn't let him know.

"Are you stopping the program?" Bruce watched his former employee's actions on the keyboard and the dazzling things on the screen, and had to admit that he still didn't understand the principle of it.

"Once it starts, you can't stop it." Joshua explained that Peter was here, so he couldn't just walk away. He had to stop the plan. If he couldn't get it done within the time limit, then they They will all die here together, so now he has no intention of hiding it, "I am changing the programming of the shield to limit the explosion to a small enough area so that no one will be killed, but if If it fails, we can only die here together.”

Ordinary guns cannot blow up an entire city, and a weapon that can blow up an entire city will also affect other areas. He only plans to destroy Gotham, and has no plan to cause collateral damage to other surrounding cities, so The range of destruction must be precise. Weapons of mass destruction are not so precise even in the 23rd century. This can only be achieved by using protective measures.

This is also one of the reasons why it takes time and energy to have such a high technical content. In addition to hiding the eyes and ears of some overly powerful superheroes and the necessary lethality, it is necessary to be able to withstand such a protective shield. It is completely a technology from the future, and fortunately with this setting, it will not make things irreversible.

This explanation made Bruce feel a little relieved. Although he doubted whether the shield Joshua mentioned could do this, after all, the current technology should not reach this level, but now he can only hope that Joshua Shuya can solve this, anyway, the other party is also the scientist who knows this best here.

"Spiderman, we... are you okay?" Bruce originally wanted to say that they need to keep Joshua safe now, and it's best not to let him be disturbed by the clown's men or other factors, but the young hero in New York saw It doesn't look right.
