Chapter 3594: Edge of Tomorrow (Forty)
Harley's heart was in turmoil.
Originally, she was very confident about this plan. After all, she was going to be defeated and captured, not necessarily win. It was difficult to win, but wasn't it easy to lose?
That doesn't look to be the case now.
This is like when you are playing a game and you are paired with a teammate who is amazing, and you don’t want him to win, so you deliberately want to lose, but then you find that the opponent on the other side is even worse. You can’t kill as fast as your teammate can.
In fact, in order to ensure the authenticity of the play, Harley still spent some time on the level design. After all, she wanted Batman to recruit her, so she had to show some ability.
Otherwise, if he loses in one encounter, wouldn't that make him look weak? Then there would be no value in trying to turn him over.
So even though the final outcome was a failure, the process still required a few rounds of fighting. So even though Jack was called in mainly to show off his new car, it was also to increase the difficulty for the gang.
However, the part where the Joker appears in a truck is just for the sake of appearance, not to defeat anyone.
According to the original plan, the clown drove over, and after being dodged by someone, he let out a series of crazy laughs and then drove towards the factory, so as to lure people into the factory.
Unexpectedly, there are people who can’t hide here!
Harry was puzzled. It wasn't a highway, and there was only one other car within a few hundred meters. There were no obstacles to dodge, so how could it not dodge?
But as soon as the car appeared, it killed two members of the team and even injured Batman.
Harley stood on the scaffolding above the factory, sighing in her heart. According to the plan, she and the Joker would team up to fight Batman. Batman had a hard time walking. How bad did she have to be to be captured by him?
Of course, Harley's close combat skills are not very good, basically at the gym level. In order to cover up her shortcomings, she prepared a gun, while Batman does not use guns.
Originally, Harley had the advantage in weapons, while Batman had the advantage in physical strength and skills. The two sides fought to a draw, Harley was physically exhausted, and Batman won. This way, she could show her strength and be captured by Batman.
As a result, Batman's physical and technical advantages are gone. What if Harley rushes forward with a gun and really kills them?
After discovering that Batman was injured, Harley began to hide the gun in a panic. But the factory was bare, and she wasn't going to jump down and make a stunning appearance. There were a few bare poles and boards above, not near the door or the window, so where could she hide the gun?
Harley looked around with the submachine gun in her hand, but couldn't find a suitable place for a long time. Finally, she had no choice but to tie the gun with a rope and hang it on the pole next to her.
Although this place is unreasonable, once I jump down, it will definitely attract Batman's attention and prevent him from looking up. I shouldn't be discovered.
Harley had just finished tying herself up when the task force came in. Harley quickly laughed:
“Hahahahaha! You guys are really here?! Did you bring my little pudding?!”
Harley turned over swiftly, jumped down, and the hook rope swung around the pole in front of her. Then she rolled on the ground, stood up, clapped her hands, and acted as if she was familiar with the process.
Although it seems like this, she actually practiced this set of moves many times. After all, she is not as good at gymnastics as the Harley Quinn in most universes, and she is prone to stepping on other people's feet when dancing. She was able to practice this part thanks to the help of the seniors from the Gotham University cheerleading troupe.
The hardest part was done, and Harley breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you here to save these idiots?! But unfortunately, you don't have a chance. Hahahaha!!"
After saying that, Harley took out a remote control from her pocket. When she pressed the button, the rope hanging those people began to slowly descend.
Of course, because we knew in advance that there was no deadly shooter in the new team, the remaining people's shooting skills were not so good and might not be able to damage the brake device, so the rope descended very slowly. At this speed, it would take about half an hour for the people above to touch the edge of the chemical pool.
Moreover, in order to draw the attention of these people to the brake device, Harley specially made this small box, which was originally only the size of a palm, half a person's height, and painted it in a very conspicuous yellow and purple color scheme, and even drew arrows on the side. With the help of Deathstroke and Pamela, it should be easy to successfully rescue the hostages.
It wasn't that Harley was soft-hearted. The key point was that Batman was a person with a strong sense of morality and a stubborn attitude. If she killed these people in front of him, he probably wouldn't think of recruiting her. So she could only spare their lives.
Sure enough, Pamela stood up and pointed at the brake device above and said, "That's where the brake should be! Hit it there!"
Deathstroke had already aimed his gun. Just as he was about to shoot, Batman shouted, "Wait!"
Deathstroke almost got a cramp in his fingers. Don't you know that you can't stop halfway through this job? It's easy to get a herniated disc!
Pamela secretly looked at Deathstroke with some resentment: You stopped when he told you to? Just beat him. After beating him, can he still beat you?
Deathstroke didn't want to bother Batman, but he felt that his character was not so righteous. If he really shot the brake system to save the hostages, he would look too much like a superhero, which didn't fit the character of an obedient mercenary, so he still braked urgently.
"That's not a brake, that's a trap!" said Batman. "The axle and brake can't be that big to hold so many people. He must have a bomb in it!"
At this time, Jack the Clown, who was eavesdropping outside the second-floor window of the factory, said in the headset: "What did I say? You made that thing so obvious, he definitely won't hit you!"
Harley snorted inwardly. She had expected that Batman's suspicious character would make him not be so easily fooled, so she had two plans.
She winked at Pamela, who immediately turned to Victor and said, "Freeze the hostages first, so that even if they fall into the pool, they won't be corroded by the chemicals!"
Victor raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger when he heard another voice from behind: "Wait!"
Victor's fingers almost cramped. He couldn't help but turn around and glare at the unjust Batman who spoke.
"How can we ensure that the chemicals will not corrode the ice? Many chemicals will generate high temperatures when in contact with water, which can cause serious damage. We can't do this!"
Victor was not happy about this. He stared at Injustice Batman and said, "Didn't I tell you? This is not ordinary ice. This is dense ice. Dense ice does not participate in heat exchange with the outside world..."
"There is nothing in this world that does not participate in heat exchange. This is the law of physics." Injustice Batman said in a loud voice.
"That's because you have limited knowledge and short-sightedness!" Victor did not retreat.
Scientists are like this. They will never allow others to question them in the field they are good at. Dense ice is Victor's proudest invention, and he will never allow anyone to question its effectiveness.
Even from a practical point of view, he has another boss here. What if Batman talks nonsense here and Harley believes it, then what will happen to her work in the League of Tomorrow? !
That’s an annual salary of 50 US dollars!
Inspired by the scientific spirit and money, Victor burst out amazing potential. In order to refute the "laws of physics" of the unjust Batman, he began to explain the principles of dense ice technology on the spot.
Harley couldn't help but frown and tilt her head to the side. Is there anyone else who is normal here?! Can you please understand the situation! Is this class time?!
But at the critical moment, Deathstroke was still the most reliable. The most important thing was that he was the one who needed the most money, and he needed the $50 too much.
Victor and Injustice Batman's quarrel had not yet stopped, and Deathstroke rushed towards Harley. Harley didn't know what he was going to do, so she quickly hid behind him. Deathstroke pretended to fight her in close combat, but when he actually got to her side, he lowered his voice and said, "You pretend to be beaten away by me."
Harley immediately understood what to do. So she started to pretend to fight with Deathstroke, but Harley's close combat skills were too poor, and the fight was just fancy moves. Deathstroke couldn't stand it anymore, so he gestured to her to run away.
"You damn bastard!" Harley cursed and turned to run. Deathstroke was chasing behind her, but he couldn't chase her too fast, for fear that Harley would fall.
Running to the equipment at the back, Harley followed the route she had chosen earlier, climbed onto the highest water pump, and then suddenly lifted the waterproof cloth covering the machine in front.
The machine frame beneath the tarpaulin was filled with bombs.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha... cough cough cough..." Harley, who should have laughed triumphantly, almost choked herself because she couldn't catch her breath after the action just now.
Originally, after they successfully rescued the hostages, Harley closed the warehouse door and exposed the bomb, forcing Batman to come up and duel with her for the remote control, and then pretended to be defeated and captured.
It seems that there is no hope of rescuing the hostages now, but the set bombs cannot be wasted, and Batman must be forced to come up.
So Harley stood on a pile of bombs as in the script, waved the remote control downwards and said, "I will blow you and these idiots up into the sky! If you have the guts, come and stop me!"
Deathstroke pretended to be shocked, stepped back to Batman and said, "This guy is really crazy. So many bombs, enough to raze half of the factory area to the ground!"
Pamela stretched out her hand and the vines wrapped around Harley, but Harley dodged them flexibly. She said anxiously, "I dare not provoke her. If she presses the button, we will all be finished!"
Then she looked at Batman seriously and said, "Batman, now we can only rely on you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Batman was instantly back in familiar territory.
But unfortunately, Amanda and the task force members didn't think so. Amanda's voice came from everyone's headphones:
"The wise man calculated the trajectory of the ballistic missile and used the communicator to transmit it to Dot's combat eyepiece. Dot, use Dot's bomb to shoot her down!"
"Wait!" the two Batmen said in unison.
