Chen Tao's heart began to beat rapidly. The development of the matter was still within his expectations for the time being.
"Batman, we're trying to track the Joker's signal."
Tim's voice rang out from Chen Tao's headset: "If we delay a little longer, we will be able to find him soon... and find the location of the nuclear bomb!"
"Even if the Joker is not with the nuclear bomb, as long as there is any remote control nuclear bomb explosion device around him, we can find the specific location of the nuclear bomb through him... So we just need to delay a little longer!"
"You're not going to nuke Gotham."
Chen Tao said:
"You only want to conquer the city, not destroy it. What use is a pile of rubble to you?"
This is nonsense.
The reason why nuclear blackmail can be called blackmail is that it must have a specific target.
Even if it is not Gotham City, it can be any other city. All Bane needs is a bargaining chip. It doesn't matter which city this bargaining chip is.
Bane knew that Batman would not fail to think of this, and he was also well aware that the other party wanted to delay time, but he didn't seem to care.
"Hello big bat, can you hear me? Eeyore~ Hehehe, shouldn't I be the one holding the big fireworks now?"
The clown yelled on the other side of the communicator: "I'm angry, I'm going to launch the big fireworks!"
"Be quiet," Bane said to him.
So the clown actually became quiet and obedient. He just froze there, just like the video had been paused.
"So I never thought about blowing up Gotham," he heard Bane say. "The bomb was designed to hit Metropolis."
What the hell does this have to do with the Metropolis
Chen Tao's heart sank.
He had previously sent Alfred to try to find Clark Kent in Metropolis, but he had not found him yet.
Due to the huge population mobility in the metropolis, it is not possible to find a foreigner like Clark Kent among the tens of millions of constantly moving people in a short period of time.
But according to the timeline, if Jimmy has already started working as a photographer under Lois Lane, and Clark Kent has not yet joined the Daily Planet, it means that our Kansas boy is most likely in the period where he has just left his small town farm and just arrived in the big city and is busy looking for a job.
Does Superman of this period really have the ability to protect tens of millions of people from a nuclear bomb
If he failed and witnessed such a tragedy, would he let the world develop directly in the direction of "Injustice" or "Lords of Justice"
(Note: The supermen in these two parallel universes are a tyrant and a dictator respectively.)
He also hoped that after everything was over, he would retire as he promised Alfred, and then find Superman to replace him...
He originally thought that even if they were to attack Bane, they would prioritize attacking several cities around Gotham... Never mind, as long as the nuclear bomb flew out of Gotham, there would be rivers of blood, or rather, blood would be evaporated, and tens of millions of people would die. No matter what the result was, he could not accept it.
So he also prepared enough backup plans. Like a real Batman, he kept multiple backup plans.
"Bruce, we're still looking, locating it, we'll find it soon..."
Robin's voice kept coming from the headset: "Wait a moment..."
"If you're going to nuke Metropolis, then Metropolis is going to be nuked."
Chen Tao tried hard to talk nonsense.
"… "
Bain didn't know what to say for a moment. He was about to say something threatening, but his train of thought was interrupted by Chen Tao's nonsense literature.
He shook his head, as if to shake his brain, and then reorganized his words for a while:
"Bombing Metropolis makes no sense to me, and destroying tens of millions of innocent lives is not my intention."
“If life is destroyed, then life dies.”
Chen Tao continued to talk nonsense while urging him in his heart.
hurry up!
"Don't interrupt me again!!!"
Bane snorted, then tried to readjust his voice to its original cold and cruel tone, but failed.
"Ah, hell, I didn't exactly mean to blow up Metropolis—
"Everything I did was for you!"
"you!"
"To defeat you, to conquer your city, to weaken you—"
"Batman, I offer you a way to save Metropolis."
Bane let out a breath and finished what he was going to say: "A chance for self-sacrifice."
He waved to Martha Wayne who was standing next to him, so she walked over and half of her body split apart without any warning.
Bane put his hand into her belly: "Here, after ten months of pregnancy, the miracle of life was born, wasn't it?"
He took out a bottle of liquid that he had prepared in advance from Martha Wayne's body.
"But this place could also be a repository of poisons that could take lives."
Bane placed the bottle of poison in front of Chen Tao.
"This is my gift to you, Batman. You are to drink it."
He said maliciously:
"In order to weaken you, I specially made a poison for you, a good way to corrode your body."
He said, "Since that day I have studied the nature of your body, some tiny nanorobots. Some car and dinosaur transformations. I know you very well now."
He said: "This is specially developed for you. They can destroy your nano body so that you will never have the chance to fight me head-on."
"I didn't know you had the talent for scientific research."
Chen Tao said in a strange tone, thinking:
Does Bain have this kind of setting? To develop something like this in just 4 days
"You can choose to believe it or not. I guess you must be wondering at this moment, how could I have such scientific research capabilities to develop corresponding targeted drugs in just four days."
Bane pointed to the can of venom on his back and said, "But it's also possible. After all, I have fully mastered the skills of making venom. I am a self-taught poison master."
"So you wanna make a bet? Bat? That I'm lying to you?"
"Even if it's true, you won't die. I can tell you very clearly that I don't have the ability to develop a potion that can kill you."
"It's nothing more than being weakened. You are confident that you can defeat me, right?"
Bane's voice whispered.
Tim's voice also rang out: "Batman, I found the place, but there is no one here!"
!
Chen Tao frowned and turned the volume to hands-free mode.
“There are no clowns, no nuclear weapons, no consoles… Wait, there’s no live broadcast, this is just a recording…”
Bane suddenly looked at the communicator on his wrist.
He looked even more surprised than Chen Tao.
"How could that be?" He said, "I clearly asked the clown to..."
Chen Tao whispered into the headset: "Contact Harley and Poison Ivy, we have a backup plan, it's okay..."
But before he could finish his words, he heard a familiar laugh.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”
Chen Tao probably guessed what was going on. The seeds he had planted by instigating the Joker and Bane had finally borne fruit.
He turned around and saw the Joker appear at the corner of the corridor, staring at Bane with malicious eyes.
"How can I... let you take away Batman's favor like this?"
