Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 227 The Undead

"He's here to find Batman, too."

Staring blankly at the blood-stained map, then moving his gaze to James Gordon's body, Su Ze's expression was a little complicated.

"From the degree of decay, this guy has been dead for some time. However, this place is deep underground and the temperature is relatively low. I can't tell the exact time of death of these people."

Rocket Raccoon examined the bodies in the room and spoke, "But the cause of death is still easy to guess. These guys all committed suicide."

"Suicide" Su Ze frowned.

Based on his understanding of Commissioner Gordon, he has worked with Batman for such a long time and has encountered many horrific things. It is impossible for such a commissioner to commit suicide no matter how you look at it.

"The path of the bullet is easy to trace. I taught you before that the sheriff and two other detectives all chose to shoot each other out of extreme fear."

Rocket Raccoon held his chin and continued.

"Although I don't know what they saw, from the scene, it seems that they were forced into this room by something and tried to block that thing outside the door, but in the end they didn't hold on."

Listening quietly to Rocket Raccoon's story, Su Ze looked around and found that the scene was indeed as Rocket said.

The fear on their faces before death, the tightly grasped pistols and the bullet holes on their bodies showed that these people were under tremendous psychological pressure. They eventually collapsed and killed each other, and all died here.

But for some reason, Su Ze always felt that something was wrong.

"What? Do you think there's something wrong with them?" Seeing that Su Ze remained silent, Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but ask.

Su Ze pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. "We don't know enough about this universe, not to mention this is Arkham. I think it's better for us not to draw conclusions yet."

Superman inexplicably became the enemy of the Justice League, Batman was locked in the depths of Arkham Asylum, and now Sheriff James Gordon was suddenly murdered. All these situations made Su Ze feel a sense of weirdness.

After carefully checking the marks on the map, Su Ze said, "Our primary goal now is to find Batman. Only he can answer all our questions."

Rocket Raccoon had no objection to this, as this was their original goal.

The expression on his face relaxed a little, and Rocket Raccoon called Su Ze and prepared to leave here and look for a way to the next level somewhere else.

In the dim room, only the light from the corridor shone faintly.

Just as it raised its head, Rocket noticed out of the corner of his eye that James Gordon, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly moved his eyes.

If other people were here, they would definitely not notice such subtle movements, but Rocket Raccoon is not a human, and his eyes are enough to see the surrounding environment clearly even at night.

Looking at this scene with astonishment on his face, Rocket Raccoon raised his hand and pointed behind Su Ze.

"Suze, be careful!"

From the moment Rocket's expression changed, Su Ze had already reacted.

Although he didn't know what was happening, the muscle memory he developed during this period of adventure made him subconsciously turn around and launch an attack.

"Avada Kedavra--"

A dark green lightning burst out from the tip of the bone wand, instantly covering James Gordon who suddenly jumped up behind him.

Powerful magic power poured out, and James Gordon's entire body was blasted against the wall and fell heavily to the ground.

"Su Ze, be careful on the left!"

Rocket Raccoon screamed, and the two detectives who had been lying on the ground staggered to their feet.

Su Ze's face darkened, he raised his foot and kicked one of them away, then pointed the bone wand at another detective who was farther away.

Just as Su Ze was about to recite the spell again to release the killing curse, what happened before his eyes made him freeze in place.

James Gordon, who was knocked away by Su Ze at the beginning, suddenly started moving again. He opened his mouth unnaturally, stared with bloodshot eyes, and climbed up the wall tremblingly.

".Now this universe also has a boy-who-lived." Rocket Raccoon stared blankly at James Gordon who was growling, and could not help but mutter to himself.

But Suze was in no mood to take on Rocket Raccoon's burden in this world. As far as he knew, Harry was the only one who could get up after being hit by the killing curse, and the Sheriff Gordon in front of him was obviously not a normal person.

"Rocket, we should go."

"I think so too." Hearing Su Ze's voice, Rocket Raccoon opened the door and rushed out without saying a word.

But the situation outside the room was even more terrifying. In the corridor, those thugs who were knocked down by Su Ze were actually getting up one after another.

Even those who were killed stood up.

"Oh shit"

Rocket Raccoon paused, and now he didn't know what to do.

Before he could react, Rocket suddenly felt a large hand grabbing the back of his collar. Then his perspective began to shake violently, and the entire corridor became lively.

Those maniacs were like zombies. When they noticed Rocket Raccoon, they immediately roared and charged towards this side.

Holding the rocket in one hand and putting the bone wand back into his waist with the other, Su Ze quickly ran through the chaotic and twisted corridor and rushed towards the deeper dark area.

"What's wrong with these guys? Why doesn't the Killing Curse work on them at all!?" Rocket Raccoon exclaimed. "You ask me?"

Su Ze was also a little confused. You know, Avada Kedavra is the black magic at the top of the pyramid, with a mechanism that kills with one hit. Even a creature like a corpse would not be able to get up if hit.

But these weird guys seemed to be completely unaffected, as if they had become immune to the mechanism of the Killing Curse.

"I think we'd better leave here first and talk about it next time, what do you think?" Rocket Raccoon looked back at the monsters that were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but speak.

"Just treat this as a dungeon. You can come and go as you please." Su Ze did not stop and made a grasping gesture towards the void with his right hand.

"Then what do you say we should do? Those guys are about to catch up with us!"

Hearing Rocket Raccoon's scream, Su Ze slammed on the brakes, turned around, stretched out his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Mjolnir!"

Click! !
Blue thunder instantly penetrated the entire corridor, and a huge light bloomed in the blink of an eye, becoming the only color in everyone's vision.

The cracked Thor's hammer appeared in Su Ze's palm at this moment, and the terrifying destructive power poured out, sweeping out with countless lightning snakes, and instantly overturned the group of monsters covered in human skins with incredible ferocity.

A flash of white light appeared, and the entire corridor seemed to have been hit by a tornado, leaving hideous cracks on the ground and walls.

The light bulb on the ceiling was completely blown up by the electric current, and the entire corridor was plunged into darkness. At the same time, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet.

Breathing slightly, Su Ze tightly grasped Thor's hammer, staring at the scene in front of him with an uncertain look.

The night vision capability brought by the Vanguard came in handy at this moment. Although it was pitch dark around him, Su Ze could still see most of the appearance.

The monsters were torn apart by the thunder one by one, and fell to the ground with their bodies burnt. Electricity was flashing on the surface of some of them.

Rocket Raccoon and Su Ze stopped what they were doing at the same time, staring at the corpses without blinking, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

In the strange environment, the man and the raccoon didn't dare to breathe.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard, and in Su Ze's sight, a guy with a charred body crawled up tremblingly.

First one, then the second, and soon more and more maniacs stood up, their eyes red, like evil spirits from hell.

"Rocket."

"What?"

"run!"

The words fell.

Without any hesitation, Suze and Rocket Raccoon turned around and ran.

The ground beneath my feet seemed to be shaking, and the monsters behind me, which had fallen into extreme madness, made creepy growls. The lights flickered and shadows danced eerily on the walls.

Su Ze and Huo Jian didn't dare to stop for a moment. God knows whether those immortal monsters might have other more bizarre abilities.

The corridor seemed to have no end. Su Ze was extremely nervous, fearing that a monster would suddenly appear and attack at every corner.

The stench of decay and blood in the air became increasingly stronger, and the footsteps of the monsters continued to follow.

Rocket Raccoon had already started running on all fours, nimbly moving through the cabinets that had collapsed in the corridor one after another, his brain working rapidly, recalling the route marked on the map.

"Go this way."

Hearing Rocket Raccoon's voice, Suze quickly followed in his footsteps, making a sharp turn and running towards a new dark corridor.

The monsters behind him were unable to turn in time and crashed into the wall, causing gravel to fly everywhere and making a series of dull sounds.

Bursts of roars echoed in the narrow space. Su Ze looked back from time to time to see the distance between himself and the monsters. Sweat broke out on the palms that were holding Mjolnir.

After passing through a twisted passage again, the next moment, a tightly locked door appeared in front of Su Ze and Rocket.

"Rocket, get out of the way."

Without time to think, Suze raised Mjolnir and smashed it hard at the locked door.

With a loud sound of metal tearing, a hole was instantly smashed in the iron door, and the entire door panel fell downwards.

It was only then that Su Ze discovered that there was actually an elevator shaft behind the iron door. It was dark below, with gusts of cold wind blowing in his face, like an abyss that swallowed everything.

"Is this the only route to the lower level?"

"Why do you want to go back and take a detour?!"

"Ok."

Su Ze lost his temper. Listening to the footsteps getting closer behind him, he jumped down into the elevator shaft.
