Chapter 2209: Battle of Two Cities! (Fifty-One)

Chapter 2183 Battle of Two Cities! (Fifty-one)

The strength of all characters on Earth-1 has generally decreased, especially Gotham, which has been greatly reduced as Batman has been weakened. This is reflected in the lunatics, who are violent enough but not crazy enough.

The old city upstream of the Gotham River is the strongest area in Gotham on Earth-1, but their strength is not reflected in quality, but in their indiscriminate attack on all living things that enter this area.

This has led to almost no one willing to come to this area except themselves, as they have been holding back for a long time.

When a group of fresh prey rushed into the hungry wolf pack, the appetite and desire to kill instantly increased. After the sound on the radio disappeared, everyone rushed out of the house and fired at all living things.

The rapid firepower made all creatures that dared to approach crawl, and Natasha and Stark were no exception.

Soon, countless streets and alleys were engulfed in flames, and the two of them were running for their lives in the ruins. They were not the only ones who were running for their lives, but most ordinary people did not have the ability of Natasha, and they fell into the ruins before they could run far.

The hunters took submachine guns, grenades, and rocket launchers, and poured firepower on everyone like crazy. They didn't care who they hit, but just vented the violence in their hearts.

"Is this what you want?" Natasha said while running and looking at Stark: "Do you know that the poison you put will turn everyone into this?"

"This is not me..."

"It will definitely turn out like this in the end." Natasha said coldly: "You know the side effects of the desperate virus better than anyone else. You know this is courting death."

"That's just a phase one virus. I will optimize it later." Stark was still stubborn, but he was also a little scared in his heart. This city called Gotham is simply too terrible. Their violent behavior is unreasonable, purposeless, and completely unpredictable.

This chaos made people feel terrified, not only because Stark was not wearing a mecha now, but the wolf-like ferocious eyes of the group of people made him feel that no matter how powerful his military force was, he would eventually be eaten by the wolves rushing over.

They were too hungry, which reminded Stark of zombies.

The war spread quickly, and the streets closest to the Gotham Riverbank had completely turned into ruins, and the bombing continued in the streets farther away.

On the big screen in New York's Times Square, reporters were broadcasting news of emergency evacuation. Although the place where the incident happened was a certain distance away from here, this time was different from the past.

In the past, whether it was an alien invasion or an alien invasion, it was all from the outside, but this time it was an internal invasion, and they didn't even know who those who were venting their firepower were.

At present, the mainstream media believes that this is a case artificially created by the government to eliminate protesters, and those who manipulate public opinion behind the scenes have shot themselves in the foot.

They don't know that the thing that can defeat all public opinion offensives is called conspiracy theory. The best way to eliminate a wave of public opinion is neither to manipulate public opinion nor to extinguish public opinion, but to show the people a bigger conspiracy.

How could it not be the government's doing? The protesters only endangered the government's interests. They created this massacre because they opposed protecting the environment, protecting animals or transgenderism. They wanted to shut up all the ideologues.

This time, it was not a wave of public opinion rising in a local area. Such a large-scale attack on a town was rare even in wartime. For a while, the world focused on it.

The Avengers assembled!

Captain America raised his shield, and the superheroes followed him as usual, but this time there were two less capable people, one was Spider-Man and the other was Iron Man.

Captain America didn't care, but the media reporters and the public did. Why didn't these two people stand up when it came to the massacre that the government silenced? Were they already bought by the government?

This speculation is quite reasonable, because Iron Man's identity is public. He is the owner of the Stark Group. Of course, such a person will wear pants with the government and the military.

And many Spider-Man fans know that Spider-Man's financial conditions are average. If the government offers a high price, who can guarantee that he will not be tempted?

But the people did not doubt another thing, that is, is Captain America really on their side?

Captain America has always served the military and the government during the war. His image of giving speeches and recruiting soldiers has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Is he really going to save people this time? Isn't he going to eliminate the remaining survivors to make them shut up forever?

The people spontaneously blocked the entrance of the war zone and wanted to ask clearly. Captain America explained to them very patiently and asked them to leave this dangerous place immediately.

It can be said that as long as the reporters want, anything can be filmed as a conflict. The charm of journalism is fully displayed at this moment. Captain America's action of trying to stop the people from entering the dangerous area was filmed as raising his fist to hit people.

Public opinion was completely blown up, and countless people began to go to the outer area of ​​the incident. Reporters heard the news and moved, and surrounded the place for a while.

Others who wanted to save people didn't dare to move. Now whoever went over would be blamed. It would be good if they could save a few people. If everyone inside died, it would be a murder.

But the hunting in the field continued. The crazy people who were completely ignited by the crazy flames piled up the abandoned cars higher and higher, blocking all the intersections. They obviously didn't want anyone to get out.

The three stealth fighters sent by SHIELD were all defeated. This time even Natasha had to curse. What on earth is the US Customs for? How come these people have anti-stealth devices?

"We have to go to the street next door." Stark, who was hiding in the bank office, looked downstairs and said, "The robots of the Osborn Group and the Hammer Group have been chasing me, but all of them have been paralyzed."

"It was originally just a pile of scrap metal that could move, and the transmission system was designed in a mess, so it was damaged by ordinary weapons, but the energy device on it is still useful. If I can get it, I can provide energy for my mecha."

"And then make it more chaotic here?"

"We will talk about our grievances later." Stark looked down with a serious face and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. It won't be long before the whole New York will be caught in war."

Stark's words came true.

At first, it was just the lunatics upstream of the Gotham River who aimed their weapons at New Yorkers who strayed here, but the range of the bombing was obviously not so precise, and it soon spread to Queens and the Bronx on the opposite bank.

The New Yorkers in these two districts are also full of martial virtues. Although they don't have as much firepower as the people in Gotham, they have a large population. Queens and the Bronx are the two most populous districts in New York, and they cover a large area, have a wide strategic depth, and are open-minded.

So what they did was not to squat at home and wait for the government to rescue them, or they knew better than anyone that no one would come to rescue them no matter what disaster happened, so they simply took up weapons and started to fight against those lunatics.

At first, it was just the armed groups spontaneously organized by the people who piled sandbags on various streets, blocked intersections with cars, concentrated weapons in the hands of some people who could fight, and the other part was responsible for logistics, and launched several short and narrow battle lines.

The advantage of a closed battle line is that it has extremely high defense, but the disadvantage is that it is like the Maginot Line, which can be bypassed if you want. The lunatics are here to hunt, not to gnaw hard bones. Since there are so many places next to it, why do you have to attack?

In this way, the community that reacted quickly and stood up first successfully defended its own territory, but the price was that the neighboring community was attacked more fiercely, and due to insufficient preparation, there were heavy casualties.

So more people began to follow suit and spontaneously organized armed forces to fight.

Some people may say that the population of the upstream gathering area is only tens of thousands, and the number of crazy people who escaped is at most 10,000 or 20,000, and they are all scattered soldiers and fighting on their own. How can they cause such great destructive power?

There are indeed not many crazy people, but many people who have read the history of war know that the most terrifying thing in wartime is the bandits, which is referred to as the people who follow the chaos. The soldiers who are like combs may not be the regular army, but the bandits who want to take advantage of the chaos to rob.

The Bronx and Queens are both crime-stricken areas, with crime rates even higher than Gotham, which means that there will be more such people here. They will go wherever there is chaos and wherever there is an opportunity to make a fortune.

The brains of the crazy people are already burning, and they don’t care about robbing at all. They just turn around and leave after blowing up the house, and the finances in the house naturally belong to these followers.

Later, they found that the place was completely out of order. The government departments did not care and the police were powerless to reverse the situation. So why did they have to follow others to pick up the leftovers? Wouldn't it be enough to organize their own armed forces?

So they also began to occupy strongholds, set up defense lines, occupy one base after another, and then split into smaller bases due to conflicts such as uneven distribution of spoils or mutual suspicion.

The war resources within a region are limited. Later, the people who spontaneously defended themselves became robbers in order to compete for resources, and the robbers set up solid bases and occupied a certain place as their own territory.

The warlord melee belonging to the new city began. At first, it was only Queens and the Bronx near Gotham and upstream, and then gradually spread to the entire Queens - that is one-third of the area of ​​​​the entire New York.

Then it was all Queens, then spread to Brooklyn, and finally approached Manhattan.

After the merger of Queens and Gotham's downtown area, the two sides were mixed together. After the war began, they also fought each other, occupying their own territory and robbing each other's territory.

In order to distinguish the two forces, New York took out the New York flag, and Gotham naturally took out the Gotham flag. They would plant a flag when occupying a street. Over time, the new city had colorful flags flying.

The speed at which this prairie fire spread was beyond everyone's expectations. The media went from fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire at the beginning, to being slightly panicked and trying to calm people's hearts, and finally not even daring to say polite words.

However, various opinions are still circulating among the people, but fortunately, people who were originally influenced by the media and did not know the truth finally found the truth themselves through the subsequent development of the incident.

A group of unlucky New Yorkers mistakenly entered Gotham and clashed with local residents. In order to defend the dignity of their cities, the two sides broke out a protracted war - known as the Battle of the Two Cities.

It was another sunny morning. Batman in the main universe finally finished arranging the strategic tasks of this stage, and he could finally free up his hands to do something else.

What else could he do? Of course, he would find his hometown that had flown to who knows where. He couldn't let it float there all the time.

Fortunately, Batman left a back door when he transformed the power system of the sky island, allowing him to go directly to the place where the sky island was located through the space-time portal.

What he didn't know was that Darkseid would never let go of the clues related to the life equation, and he never forgot the equation in Batman's hand.

The fluctuations generated by Batman passing through the portal were fully recorded by the spy machine arranged not far away and transmitted back to the headquarters of Apokolips. Darkseid pondered for a long time.

The first thing Batman did when he returned to Sky Island was to look down. He wanted to make sure that the power system of Sky Island was still stable enough at the normal working altitude.

Then he was dumbfounded. Why did the scene below seem so familiar?

Batman looked back at Sky Island Gotham, which had not been rebuilt not long after the battle, and then looked at the bustling New City below. For the first time, he had a deep doubt about a question -

Could it be that he was really a disaster?

He was sanctioned for scolding the white left, and changed some sharp words
