Chapter 61 Catwoman's Plea for Help
Chapter 61 Catwoman's Plea for Help
He was wearing a black trench coat and his signature burlap hood, his eyes filled with a fanatical fascination with fear.
"Fear! Tremble!" he shouted to the sky, "Gotham! I've returned!"
He was followed by a group of prisoners, all of whom were notorious inmates in Gotham.
At that moment, they seemed to have lost their minds, their faces filled with madness and brutality.
"Follow me!"
The Scarecrow shouted to the prisoners behind him, then led them running towards downtown Gotham.
Maroni's men had prepared vehicles and weapons, as well as some surprises that Klein had specially prepared.
Once they unite, Gotham will tremble at their feet.
...
Under Li Wei's arrangement, the police began their operation, and Li Wei and Gordon led the officers to the prison at breakneck speed.
Along the way, they received a constant stream of police reports from various locations.
During their escape, the prisoners engaged in vandalism, looting, and arson.
They also attacked innocent civilians, causing enormous chaos and casualties.
"Batman, Scarecrow is leading prisoners toward the city."
Levi contacted Batman via communicator, saying, "They're unlikely to walk right into a trap; Maroney's men are probably there to meet them!"
"I'm already tracking them," Batman's voice came through. "I'll intercept Klein on his way to the city."
Batman's words reassured Li Wei considerably; this was Gotham, and Batman was still trustworthy.
But Li Wei was still somewhat anxious; he knew he had to stop the scarecrow as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if he were to join forces with Maroni's men and obtain weapons and supplies, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The key point is that Levi has a strong premonition that Maroni's recent show of weakness might be part of a bigger scheme.
As the police car drove onto a secluded highway, a black figure suddenly blocked the road.
Li Wei immediately braked, and because of the intense friction of the tires, the air was even filled with the smell of burning rubber.
Just as Li Wei was about to start cursing, he took a closer look and was stunned. The person blocking the middle of the road was none other than Catwoman.
She looked anxious, her black leather jacket covered in dust, and she appeared somewhat disheveled.
"Li Wei, I need your help!"
She ran to the car window and said urgently.
"What happened?" Li Wei asked, rolling down the car window.
"One of the children I rescued has been kidnapped by Maronny's men!"
Catwoman's voice was urgent, "They want me to help transport the poison ingredients, or they'll kill the child!"
I had no other choice but to come to you for help.
Li Wei's heart tightened; he knew that Catwoman's cynicism was just a facade.
This woman is very kind at heart, especially towards innocent children.
"Don't worry, the child will be alright," Li Wei comforted him. "Do you know where the child is now, and their temporary base?"
"I know!" Catwoman nodded immediately. "Their temporary base is at the abandoned train station in the east of the city."
I just secretly followed them and saw them lock the child up there.
"Knowing where they are is enough!"
Levi immediately said to Gordon in the car, "Guys, keep going and help Batman intercept Scarecrow."
I'm taking a few people with me to the abandoned train station in the east of the city to rescue the children!
"Hey buddy, watch out!"
Gordon didn't try to dissuade him, but simply warned him to be careful, "Maroney's men are extremely ruthless, and they probably have heavy weapons..."
Gordon glanced at Catwoman, then looked into Levi's eyes, "Promise me, no matter what, your safety will always be your top priority!"
"Don't worry, buddy, I'll be fine!" Li Wei said. "The mission is more important! You guys go and intercept them first, I'll take care of things here and then come back to join you."
After finishing his speech, Li Wei got into the police car behind and sat in the driver's seat himself.
The officer in the passenger seat was very perceptive and gave up his seat early on.
Guided by the catwoman, the group headed towards the abandoned train station in the east of the city.
The abandoned train station is located in the eastern suburbs of Gotham City. It has been abandoned for many years and is surrounded by deserted areas.
The train station windows were broken, and the walls were covered in graffiti.
It looked eerie and terrifying, dilapidated, against the backdrop of darkness.
Li Wei and Catwoman, accompanied by several police officers, cautiously approached the abandoned train station.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they deliberately got out of the car at a distance.
Following the direction the catwoman was pointing, Li Wei saw two men standing at the entrance of the train station.
They held rifles in their hands and occasionally exchanged a few words in hushed tones.
Inside the train station, the faint sounds of children crying and prisoners laughing could be heard.
"We'll split into two groups," Li Wei said in a low voice, looking at Catwoman. "I'll lead two officers to draw their attention from the front."
You and two other officers sneak in through the back door of the train station to rescue the child.
If successful, send the signal immediately, and we'll work together from the inside to subdue these bastards!
Catwoman nodded: "No problem."
Watching Catwoman disappear around the corner with two police officers, Li Wei shouted loudly towards the train station.
"Listen up, you inside! You're surrounded! Lay down your weapons and surrender now, and you might have a chance to live!"
The two police officers following Li Wei were nervously gripping their guns; with so many enemies, they could be killed at any moment.
Upon hearing the noise, the two men at the door immediately became alert and raised their guns, aiming them in the direction where Li Wei and his group were.
But because it was too dark, they couldn't see anything.
In desperation, they fired a shot directly in the direction of Li Wei.
The bullet hit the wall, sending up a string of sparks.
Upon hearing the gunshot, people inside the train station rushed out.
"You filthy cops, we're not afraid of you!"
The leader shouted arrogantly, "If you've got the guts, come out! What kind of men hide and stay silent?!"
His words made his group of underlings realize what was going on.
If the police really had the upper hand, the area outside the train station would definitely be packed with people by now.
The current situation only proves that there are hardly any police officers outside.
Hearing the sound coming from the front door, Catwoman quickened her pace.
She led two police officers around to the back door of the train station, and to her surprise, the back door was not locked, but simply ajar.
Catwoman gently pushed open the back door and slipped directly into the train station.
The train station was dark and filled with a pungent smell of mildew and smoke.
Catwoman, with her keen hearing, followed the sound of the child's cries to the room where the child was being held.
The door was locked with an iron padlock. The two police officers looked at the huge padlock and stared at each other, not knowing how to open it.
Catwoman was unaffected by the police officers and quickly opened the door lock using the tools she carried with her.
The door opened, and in the dim light, a five- or six-year-old boy could be seen huddled in the corner.
He was so frightened that he trembled and even had spasms from crying so hard.
"Rina, it's alright..."
Catwoman stepped forward, hugged the little boy, and began to gently comfort him, "It's all over now, no one can hurt you."
