American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

Are you conducting a biological experiment?

"It's somewhat similar, but I won't do much more."

Lei Xiaogu's words made Ms. Shiva silent for a moment, and then she continued:

"Hmm... how strong is Robin after your resurrection experiment?"

Ms. Shiva was very concerned about whether resurrection would affect her combat strength.

"Hehe, you can rest assured!" Lei Xiaogu's lips curled up. "After being resurrected, apart from losing his sanity, he will be the same as he was in life, including his combat power."

Moreover, losing one's temper is something that can be corrected; one just needs to get through that period of irrationality, and then he will be just like a normal person!

What Lei Xiaogu didn't say was that resurrected people are prone to irritability, anger, and mental instability.

Only frenzied killing can suppress that impulse, or like Lei Xiaogu, one could soak in the pool every now and then to fully adapt to the side effects. (Completely controlled by the side effects, becoming an extremely cold-blooded being.)

"Of course, if you are killed by Robin in your battle, don't worry, I will revive you!"

Lei Xiaogu's provocation worked. Shiva confidently agreed. No matter what, she had to see just how strong Robin was after her resurrection!

"Get ready, we're leaving Gotham! Heading to the League of Assassins headquarters. There are no resurrection potions here."

Ms. Shiva nodded, changed her clothes, and said, "I don't need to prepare anything, just go!"

………………

Gotham is unusually normal today.

No one robbed or shot anyone.

They're all looking for Kryptonians who can make them instantly rich.

How much money can you make from robbing someone? If you catch a Kryptonian, you can make money faster than robbing a bank, and it's all legitimate.

Metropolis officials have already released photos of the Kryptonians, thoughtfully showing everyone what they look like.

This greatly boosted the confidence of the gangs searching for the missing people. They had a lot of people, and they had heard that special bullets had been injected into the bodies of those Kryptonians, making them as weak as ordinary people.

This emboldened everyone by 100 times!

Working yourself to the bone in a gang, you only make a few hundred dollars a day. What's the point of risking your life? Now, a chance to get rich overnight is right in front of you. Who can resist?

The GCPD officers are also extremely busy, because quite a few people with unusual ideas are arresting people who look similar to those in the photos and sending them to the police station.

The innocent people were released by the police, while some were serial killers or robbers who were successfully put in police custody.

Although those "helpful citizens" who made the arrests didn't get the Kryptonians' 200 million, they did get a considerable amount of the police reward money.

Suddenly, bounty hunters were back in action. Gotham was back to where it was a month earlier, with those bounty hunters roaming the land.

A certain Superman also sneaked over, scanned the area with his X-ray vision, but found no trace of Kryptonians, so he sneaked away again.

………………

Batman was watching them from inside the Batcave.

With so many people involved, safety was naturally impossible to guarantee. He needed to keep a close watch on them to prevent the aliens from resorting to desperate measures.

Their own factories are already producing those special warheads.

That was the raw kryptonite ore he bought from LexCorp that morning. The amount of kryptonite that could be refined was rather small, enough to make only a dagger and ten kryptonite bullets.

The excess kryptonite fragments will be made into kryptonite paint to color the normal bullets.

Although he hasn't even confirmed whether Kryptonians are present in Gotham.

But just in case, it's always good to make some weapons to deal with them; he may not need them, but he can't be without them!

………………

Human enthusiasm is easily worn down.

Half a day later, with the entire gang mobilized, they had almost turned the entire Gotham City upside down. They had captured not only Kryptonians, but also almost all the criminals hiding in the slums.

"Damn it! Could it be a scam?"

"I don't know. So many bosses have said so, they probably wouldn't lie to us, right?"

"Hey, where are those damn Kryptonians?! My money!"

"Stop complaining, bro. If we actually find it, that'll be a real fortune!"

"Yes, there are over 100. The sooner we find them, the sooner we'll get rich!"

The group agreed that this made sense and began searching in more remote areas.

………………

In the underground cavern, the Owl Court resumed its meeting.

The topic of this meeting was: whether aliens have appeared in Gotham.

To be honest, they can't say for sure either.

As an ancient organization, they are well aware that there are demons, aliens, monsters, and zombies in this world, so it is not surprising that aliens would appear in Gotham.

But because of these aliens, the winds of change in Gotham are shifting a bit. Is that a good thing? No, it's not!

Gotham needs chaos!

The purpose of the Court of Owls is to make Gotham obey their orders; those who disobey are killed, and those who remain are obedient.

"I have found out the cause of this matter."

The man in the owl mask standing by the conference table turned on the projector and projected pictures of the port onto the conference room wall.

It was a top-down view, and it looked as if that area had been crushed by a huge object.

"These are pictures we took with a satellite. I think you've all seen them. I can't think of anything other than an alien spaceship that's this big."

I think you all agree with that.

The owls on the seats nodded.

The man in the black and white owl mask continued:

“Our people found a picture from the Metropolitan government.”

The screen then switched to show the image of a Kryptonian spaceship.

"This is the spaceship the aliens used when they first appeared! The appearance of this spaceship matches the damaged images of the port perfectly! It's confirmed that there are aliens in Gotham!"

The people below were shocked. "Fuck, is this for real? They can't beat Kryptonians!"

"Everyone, don't worry."

After the masked man finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and dozens of Claw Assassins came in carrying boxes and placed them in front of them.

The owls present curiously opened the box, inside which were a series of exquisite Colt revolvers.

The masked man introduced:

"These are the weapons we purchased from LexCorp, capable of dealing with those aliens. One for each person, one gun and six Kryptonite bullets. Keep them for your self-defense."

Some of the owls, whose marksmanship wasn't great, said angrily, "Why are there so few bullets? What if we run out of bullets?!"

"OK, Mr. Lex Group's explanation is that as long as your bullet hits the alien's body, it can cause them considerable harm! It doesn't have to be the head, it can hit the body! I think this gentleman's marksmanship is such that he can't even miss the body, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"……

The masked man's taunts drew laughter from those around him. They knew that even if they weren't good marksmen, they always had a few exceptionally skilled marksmen under their command; as long as they had enough supplies, that was sufficient.

"Alright, everyone, now I have the second thing to say."

Batman is meddling too much; it's brought our business to a standstill, which isn't good. Any suggestions?

"Kill him..."

"Win him over..."

"Assassination..."

……

Chapter 70 The Unchanging Chaos of Gotham

"Gordon, are you sure the information is accurate?"

Harvey Block wiped the sweat from his brow; even with the air conditioning on in the police car, his forehead was still sweating with tension.

Within just one day, Gotham discovered that the Kryptonian situation was starting to spiral out of control.

Besides the locals in Gotham, people from other cities also come to Gotham to "hunt for treasure".

With the increase in population and the influx of outsiders impacting local gangs, friction is already escalating, and mass brawls are imminent, potentially even turning into street gunfights.

Gordon was also very nervous. There were too many people, and their police department was completely short-handed! If a fight broke out, the losses would be significant.

"I...I don't know, Harvey. I'm just trying to figure out how to solve it!"

Harvey: "Can Batman solve this?"

Gordon: "That's impossible. He's just one person. In this situation, the military needs to intervene, otherwise we really can't control him!"

"I'll contact the military, you contact Batman. If Gotham gets into chaos, we'll need their help!"

Harvey Block walked to a quiet corner and started making a phone call, as Gordon reminded him from the car:

"I understand, Harvey. Remember to tell them to bring plenty of men and weapons; the people of Gotham are not easy to deal with!"

"I understand!"

........................

With a large number of people, there will naturally be both good and bad aspects.

The influx of outsiders stimulated Gotham's restaurant economy, as well as various robberies.

There was no way around it; the thugs and small gangs of the past looked down on those meager restaurants, and at most, they would just go there to eat for free.

Those people are more interested in selling drugs and weapons, and of course, some gray-market activities as well.

But now, their daily catering business can earn as much as other industries do in a month, which is enough to tempt those penniless foodies and shady characters to take action.
