Chapter 66 Depp's Toy Factory (Part 3)

The gangsters, caught in the midst of a brawl, didn't initially notice Wayne approaching until someone was thrown at his feet, at which point they finally spotted him.

Upon seeing the entry of a third party, both sides tacitly ceased their fighting.

"Hey, you green-skinned monsters, stay away from us!" said one of the leaders.

For these traditional gangs, the oddballs entrenched in Gotham are more hated than their rivals vying for territory.

The leader of the other side chimed in, "That's right, we don't welcome freaks here! If you don't want to die, get out of here and don't delay our fight for territory!"

The thick, pungent smell of blood emanating from the deep, bone-revealing knife wounds on these men assaulted Wellen's nostrils.

They didn't notice at all that Wellen's eyes were slowly turning bloodshot because of the smell of blood.

"Your territory?" Wellen said angrily, "Bullshit! This is my boss's toy factory!"

After saying that, Wellen strode forward towards the crowd in front of him.

Seeing Wayne rushing over, these gang members who were previously fighting each other suddenly united in perfect unison.

However, for ordinary people like them, Wellen, who could even defend against bullets, was simply an insurmountable mountain.

None of the arrogant guys could withstand Weren's second punch.

Within just ten minutes, all the gang members were curled up on the ground, clutching their stomachs and faces, howling in pain.

Wellen didn't even have a scratch on his body.

Wellen threw these guys out of the factory one by one.

He threw two punches into the air and said to a guy who was already out of his mind, "How's my kung fu? Pretty good, right? The boss taught me!"

Outside the factory, Depp took a picture of the gangsters that Weyren had haphazardly piled up outside the factory with his phone.

Then, after blurring out the overly gory parts of the photo, I sent it to Bruce.

"There are some gangs here that need your help to deal with. Here is the address."

Upon receiving the message, Bruce immediately asked, "My God, what are you doing in the East End? Take care of yourself, I'm on my way!"

"........."

I just wanted you to drive a big truck and help me take these guys away.

Depp felt that Bruce might have misunderstood.

Because Bruce had already sent a message to his Iron Fist number requesting reinforcements and the address of the Bobby Toy Factory.

"My friend is in trouble, please go to the address below to help."

"By the way, his name is Depp, remember not to accidentally hurt him."

"Ding, four million dollars have been deposited into Gotham Bank."

Depp couldn't help but admire the guy's generosity.

They transferred four million to me without a second thought, hiring me to save myself!

“What’s wrong with Bruce just now? Why did he send me to a toy factory in the East End to rescue you?!” Selena also sent a message.

Depp was somewhat speechless, but also touched. Bruce really was...

"Don't worry, I'm fine. If you have enough time, you can come to the toy factory for a quick visit; there's a four million appearance fee anyway."

I may be touched, but when money is offered to me, I'd be a fool not to take it!

After all, Bruce, being a big spender, wouldn't be short of a few dollars.

Selena replied, "Then be careful. I'll pack up and head out. I'll also try on my new suit."

Inside the Batcave, Bruce changed into his battle suit and sped off in the Batmobile toward the toy factory.

In the gray-yellow sky of the East End, dark clouds drifted by, and Bruce had his own calculations in mind.

He had always had a suspicion that the Iron Fist might be Depp.

After all, these two have never appeared together!

Today, I am indeed very concerned about the serious matter that has befallen Depp, after all, he is one of my few friends.

Normally, he wouldn't specifically invite Iron Fist and Catwoman.

The reason Brewster specifically called these two along was to see if Depp and Iron Fist would appear at the same time.

If, in today's situation, for various reasons, only one of them appears before him...

So, Depp might really be an iron fist!

Thinking of this, Bruce unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Unbeknownst to Wayne and Bruce, gang warfare was rapidly decreasing.

Because countless tall, humanoid monsters are attacking the eastern district from all directions, these gangs have no choice but to unite to deal with the sudden influx of monsters.

But how could these gangsters, with their mortal bodies, possibly stand a chance against these modified monsters?

Soon, countless gang members were torn apart one by one by these monsters that appeared out of nowhere.

Limbs and severed bodies were scattered throughout the streets and alleys of the East District, and the stench of blood was so strong that it was almost impossible to breathe.

After Wellen cleared the area, Depp drove to the factory's office building.

This is a rather old office building, with patches of plaster peeling off the mottled walls.

If he really buys this place, Depp will definitely renovate it.

"Wayne, well done. It seems your fighting skills have improved quite a bit."

Upon hearing Depp's praise, Wellen didn't cheer as usual, but instead sniffed the air forcefully.

Immediately, the red light in Wellen's eyes intensified, like a shark smelling blood!

He said nervously, "Boss, something's wrong. The smell of blood here is getting stronger and stronger!"

"The smell of blood?" Depp asked, pointing to the group of gang members huddled together. "You mean the smell is coming from these guys?"

Seeing this, Wellen shook his head and said with some concern, "No... well, not entirely. I can feel a strong smell of blood coming from all directions. This smell of blood coming from outside is much more pungent than the smell on those guys just now."

"It was like... thousands of people were torn apart at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately realized the seriousness of the source of the bloody smell coming from Wellen's mouth.

He believed what Weiren, who possessed the Crocodile God's genes, said, adding that Weiren's senses were countless times stronger than those of ordinary people.

The simultaneous tearing apart of thousands of people is no small matter!

If a scene of thousands of people being torn apart at the same time were to happen before his eyes, Depp felt it would be even more terrifying than a city being bombed by a nuclear bomb.

Depp could only think of one word to describe this extremely bloody scene.

That is... hell!

Regardless of what happened, Depp, dressed in full armor, first created an illusion of himself not wearing armor about two meters away.

Bruce is coming; he needs to be prepared for Depp and Iron Fist to be on the scene at the same time.

Suddenly, Depp and Wellen's eyes sharpened simultaneously.

On the wall of the toy factory, countless monstrous figures, carrying a thick, viscous stench of blood, scaled over!

Chapter 67 Depp's Toy Factory (Part 4)

Looking at the densely packed, monstrous figures surging towards him, Depp felt a chill run down his spine.

I've experienced firsthand just how powerful this thing is.

Furthermore, the monster's physical strength is extremely abnormal. If this thing punches down, an ordinary person's head will be smashed like a watermelon.

Last time, Selena and I almost exhausted all our strength to deal with a dozen or so. This time, at a glance, there are at least several hundred that have already flooded into the factory.

Not to mention how many people are still waiting in line outside the factory!

One thousand? Or two thousand?

As the monster continued to approach, Depp and Wellen immediately got into position, ready to attack.

Depp also discovered that this time the monsters were not only much taller than the ones he had encountered before, reaching nearly seven or eight meters in height, but also seemed to be much more agile in mind and movement.

The fact that these guys can easily scale the wall instead of crashing through it and making a hole is the best proof of that.

Not to mention, many of these monsters were carrying makeshift weapons they'd picked up from who-knows-where.

Just how many people did Hugo Strange, that psychopath, turn into this monster?

What on earth has gone crazy about this guy?

As the monster drew ever closer into his attack range, Depp launched an immediate attack.

These things can no longer be called human, so Depp doesn't need to hold back as he usually does when he's on missions with Bruce.

And for these monsters, death might be the only true release!

The pulse beam in his hand kept firing, and from the missile pod on his shoulder, forty micro-missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, scattered like a shower of flowers, bombarding the monster in the toy factory.

On the other side, the scales on Wellen's body were all contracted and pressed tightly against his skin as his muscles were tense, leaving no gaps.

The metallic claws on both hands were fully extended, nearly twice as long as usual.

Under the full force of the attack, Wellen leaped up and plunged his claws deep into the heart of a monster.

However, these monsters could no longer be judged by ordinary standards. Even with their hearts shattered by Wellen, they continued to smash the road sign they were holding against Wellen's head.

Enraged, Wellen ripped the monster-like man, who was nearly ten meters tall and had monstrous muscles, in two with his hands that were inserted into the other's body.

Even Depp was seeing Wellen in his ultimate battle state for the first time.

If he had to describe it, Depp felt that Wellen was now a terrifying beast exuding murderous intent.

Thankfully, this guy is one of my underlings!

While Wellen was displaying his prowess, Depp declared that he naturally couldn't be outdone by his younger brother.

His eyes rolled back, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a child's arm crashed down on his armor with a deafening roar.
