"For me, for Bruce Wayne, how can I use just one word to describe...what Gotham City is?"
"Home? Family? Goal?"
"But actually, the real answer is: I can't answer that question."
Amid the melodious music, Chen Tao stood in the middle of the brightly lit hall in a formal dress.
The elites of Gotham City's upper class society gathered together for this charity dinner, which was finalized three months ago and originally scheduled for March 29. It was hosted by Gotham's famous super rich man Bruce Wayne.
After being postponed for six days due to Wayne's health, the event was finally held.
"...At this moment, most of you here know that I lost my parents when I was a child..."
"...Deep in my heart at that time, I knew that even though the pain was so deep, things would get better...
My point is that when we are in challenging or daunting circumstances, it makes no sense to ask ourselves what our cities 'are' because when we look around at the streets and buildings built around us, they are all things that scare us.
Heart and our frustration——"
"The devil within us."
"And if we no longer look at the present, nor look back on the past, but look to the future——"
"We ask ourselves what tomorrow can - will - become... Then, we ask the right question. Because embracing hope, cherishing dreams, and meeting the future means shaping the city with one's own hands, rather than being shaped by the city."
Chen Tao glanced at the people in the audience. They were judges, congressmen, and entrepreneurs. They were the righteous force of Gotham that Bruce Wayne had accumulated over the years before he was transported back in time. Bruce had almost
The plan has advanced to this point...and Chen Tao must continue to stabilize their military morale.
Damn it.
Chen Tao thought so. In order to completely revive the rotten city of Gotham, Bruce Wayne almost relied on a long period of time and financial resources to build a new system for this dying old man bit by bit from scratch.
Digestive system and life-support system. With these conscientious judges, congressmen and entrepreneurs in front of us, even if all the corrupt officials in Gotham die...
Hey, Batman wouldn't kill someone so brutally.
Alas. Chen Tao can completely understand how difficult it is to build such a system. The energy and effort involved are simply unimaginable. This is the life-saving solution prepared for Gotham by the Bruce Wayne who was transported by him.
.
And can a time traveler like him really overcome all difficulties and continue Bruce Wayne's plan?
This kind of responsibility is the most unbearable. But at least, until he successfully finds a successor, he has to maintain this plate until Superman or Wonder Woman comes to take over the city.
Chen Tao calmed down and continued reading the manuscript written by Bruce Wayne:
"I know that everyone here may be skeptical, because our city has been shrouded in violence, and countless criminals have even reached the point where the army needs to be mobilized to suppress it. Public security has been destroyed to the point of being unsustainable, but we know that this
Everything will pass eventually...
What we have to do is to prevent such riots and the breeding ground for evil in Gotham from the root..."
"... I will put money behind what I say. After the riots subside, Wayne Enterprises will boldly and quickly begin investing in the future of Gotham. We have joined forces with multiple local design firms to develop a redevelopment plan aimed at rebuilding
Gotham's most dilapidated industrial residential area..."
...Based on this, we plan to drastically expand Gotham's public transportation system and make it more modern. These plans make me full of hope and excitement. I can't express my feelings to you in words. In the next few days,
We will reveal more information, but at this moment I ask you to look beyond what Gotham was and is now, and just take a moment to imagine with me..."
"Gotham's 'future is'."
"Thank you. Now, friends, I ask you to join me in investing in Gotham's future. I promise you that if we join hands, if we work together, then..."
"A better, brighter Gotham... is only one step away."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Amid the melodious banquet singing, Chen Tao picked up a glass of champagne and hid himself among the eager crowd.
"Well done, Bruce, inspiring."
Chen Tao never looked back.
"Tim, how's Solomon Grundy doing?"
Robin in formal attire was holding a glass of juice and shrugged:
"It's done. Our gray-white friend is living well in the Slaughter Swamp now. The locator is in place. We also provide him with his daily food. We can give him a sufficient amount of powerful anesthetic at any time, and then throw it into
Any battlefield needed. So now he is our human bomb."
He continued: "Poison Ivy and the Suicide Squad are placed together, and as you might expect, Ivy can't resist the opportunity to save those cherished plants, plus she and Harley are always tired of being together-" p>
"According to Ivy's explanation, plant master Jason Wood has been basically severely injured. Her original sentence was, 'Jason may be powerful, but he is by no means a swamp monster. He will not be able to return to his previous state for at least half a century.
To the extent.' In other words, the super tree spirit can only be used as a real piece of wood now."
"The other members of the Suicide Squad are maintaining law and order in Gotham - I have to admit that they have two skills."
Tim frowned slightly, and then said: "At least they are more than enough to deal with those third-rate villains, especially Deadshot. Although Poison Ivy's ability is easy to be targeted, as long as she doesn't encounter particularly powerful characters, there won't be any big problems.
.But if it’s the Joker, Two-Face, Riddler, etc…”
"I didn't expect them to deal with these freaks." Chen Tao answered him: "Continue to report."
"Bane is missing, and we are still unable to locate his location. He deliberately avoided our bat camera. The house is not an obstacle to him at all, so he will not be bound by roads in the traditional sense." p>
"The result is as expected." Chen Tao said: "Continue."
"The National Guard's establishment was basically disbanded, and the fighting situation was horrific." Robin paused: "The Joker hijacked Mayor Carlo, and at the last moment threw a super-double clown gas bomb into the center of the position."<
/p>
"About 1/3 of the soldiers died on the spot either from Bane's attack or from the Joker's venom, and even the ambulance could not wait."
Robin said: "And the other survivors were not much better. Mayor Carlo - well, it was Mayor Carlo who was controlled by the clown who issued a crazy order, which caused the army to stop cooking.
The army went to the battlefield."
"With the bombs exploding and the wounded almost filling Gotham's hospitals, they will endure for three or four months the aftermath of continuous laughter and uncertainty about whether they will recover, and the state government refuses to provide any further support to the city..."<
/p>
Tim paused.
"In other words, Gotham has been abandoned."
"And there's one more thing."
Tim said: "Do you really want to ignore the challenge sent to you by the clown?"
