Chapter 3057 Mercury Record (Forty-three)
When Gordon rushed to the beach, the situation on the coast was already very bad. The huge waves had engulfed almost all the docks, and all the moored ships were overturned into the sea.
Fortunately, there was a typhoon, and the fishermen knew that they could not go out in such weather, so they all hid in their homes in the East District. The buildings renovated by the Wayne Group are sturdy and reliable, and no casualties have been found so far.
But if this continues, the sea water will flood the entire East District. Even if the buildings can protect people, they cannot protect the industries on the ground. Gotham no longer has the extra funds to repair the city. Once the already scarce capital chain breaks, the city may fall to the bottom again.
"Can we contact Professor Victor Freese?" Gordon turned around and asked his subordinate. The subordinate looked at his phone and said, "We contacted Professor Freese as soon as we found the abnormality in the ocean. He and his wife are rushing back through the portal. It will take at least 10 minutes..."
"James! James! Here I come!"
Gordon turned around and saw Victor and Nora running towards him. He quickly dragged them under the makeshift awning and asked someone to pour them a cup of hot coffee.
"We two just came back from Mercury. What on earth is going on? Why did a tsunami suddenly appear in Gotham?"
"We don't know either. It could be Atlantis..."
"It's not Atlantis, it's Poseidon." After Victor found out that he knew more than Gordon, he immediately said, "We need to find out why Poseidon suddenly went crazy."
"What about Diana, isn't Poseidon her uncle?"
"Something went wrong. She couldn't come in person. Arthur has already brought people back. Let's solve the problem on the coast first."
"Can you freeze this sea water?"
"That's the problem. I have to go back to my laboratory to get the freezing device generator. You have to send someone to escort me, and it takes time to activate the device..."
"No problem." Gordon immediately began to call the troops. He knew that this operation might be very dangerous, because if the freezing device generator was to be placed where it could freeze the sea water, it would inevitably have to face huge waves, and it would be impossible to do so without sacrifice.
Scientists like Victor are very valuable, and he will be needed to adjust the equipment later, so he must not be the one to go. Gordon has made up his mind to lead the team to set up the freezing device himself.
The police car shuttled through the storm and soon arrived at the Gotham University campus. Victor's new laboratory was built here. When taking the equipment, he was particularly careful and took out two freezing chambers and placed them in the trunk of the police car.
When we returned to the coast, the situation had worsened. The water in the residential area had reached the waist. The cordon was withdrawn again and again, and the police could only stay on the second floor and watch the situation below.
Victor and Nora used freezing guns to freeze the ground solid, allowing the police car to drive up. As soon as he walked into the corridor of the residential area, he actually smelled the fragrance of food.
The police officers gathered in twos and threes to eat. Victor saw that the girl who brought them food was about twelve or thirteen years old. He walked over and said to Gordon, "The equipment is here. Next, I will fix a micro-freezing device on the top of two police cars. You will clear the way for me. After arriving at the designated target location, drop the equipment. I need to observe the operation of the equipment no more than one kilometer away."
"No problem." Gordon responded to Victor's every request. He then turned around, took a sandwich from the table next to him, stuffed it into Victor's hand and said, "No matter how urgent the situation is, you have to eat first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work."
"Did the residents here give it to you?"
Gordon nodded and said, "Yes, they are very enthusiastic. Now the residents of the entire building are making sandwiches, and some are toasting bread. We also borrowed the coffee machine..."
Victor smiled widely and said, "It must feel good, right, Sheriff?"
Gordon also laughed and said, "Yes, there is no one in this world who is not worth protecting."
Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and a purple figure flashed in front of Gordon, and another figure chased after her.
"Rachel! Rachel! Slow down!" Dick grabbed Raven's cloak to make her stop.
"You're here." Gordon was not surprised at all, and Raven said hurriedly: "I brought all the clones I can control. Is there anything I can do with them?"
Dick patted Raven on the shoulder. He knew that during the last investigation of a child abuse case, the clones she controlled accidentally alerted the suspects, and Raven still mind it. As soon as she heard that the police on the coast needed help, she came immediately.
"Great, you are exactly what I need here." Victor interrupted Gordon who was about to refuse and said, "But it's not a clone, but your magical power. I hope you can help me open a path through the waves."
"What are you going to do in there? It's very dangerous!" Raven said hurriedly, "This is not an ordinary wave. I can feel a strong magical force..."
"Yes, that's why I need to go deeper into the waves. The closer the device is to the deep sea, the more solid the ice will be, and the possibility of affecting residential areas will be reduced."
"No problem." Raven agreed immediately. She said, "I'm not sure if my power can avoid all the waves. Give me five minutes. I'll call Sangongmo."
"What a great girl." Gordon walked to Dick's side and looked at Raven's back with him. Although Dick was a little worried, he was more proud of it.
I don’t know what Raven said to her father, but in any case, her devil father agreed to lend her more power. In this way, the freezing plan would have a better chance of success.
Since the last time the Three Palaces Demon came, Raven's mind was opened up under the guidance of Dick and the others. She and the Three Palaces Demon showed a wave of loving father and filial daughter. She would cheat power from her father whenever she had nothing to do, and took the spirit of relying on parents to the extreme. She has become the Three Palaces Demon's spokesperson on Earth.
You know what, Sangong Mo is the type who responds to soft words but not hard ones. When his daughter resisted him, he insisted on forcing her to do something. As a result, his daughter became career-oriented and planned the territory for him to rule and asked him for funds. He began to feel annoyed again and started to be perfunctory in checking the progress of Raven's work and usually ignored her.
"We are still short of a driver." Victor said, "No, James, you can't go. You have to stay here to watch over the situation in the residential area so that you can organize an evacuation in time if anything happens."
Gordon was about to argue when Victor interrupted him again. He said, "More importantly, you're not a good driver. I've been a police officer in Gotham for so many years. I've passed by Gotham University more than a dozen times while chasing fugitives, but I've never seen you catch any of them. Every time you did it with helicopter support. Do you dare to say that this didn't happen?"
Gordon was choked up. He touched his nose and said, "I did catch up with one or two of them..."
"They are all idiots who abandoned their cars and ran away." Another voice sounded at the stairs. The tall Jason walked over first, followed by another figure that was expected but unexpected, the clown Jack.
Jack always looks sleepy, but everyone here has to admit that Jack is the most experienced and best driver among them.
Moreover, although the freezing devices are not large, there are many of them, and it is indeed impossible to drive a car in. Driving a truck and a car are two completely different things. Jack is the only truck driver here.
"Okay, now let's start planning the route." Victor took out a map and began to draw the route on it.
He paused while drawing, and then said, "No, it seems that we have to split into two groups. If we drive inside first and then turn, it will take too long and be too dangerous. It is better to split into two groups, one to the south and the other to the north..."
"I can lead a team on my own," Jason said, "but we can't cut through the waves, and we're short of a driver."
"You can ask Waylon for the driver," Dick said. "When he was running a moving company, he also drove a truck around the streets. He should be quite skilled."
Gordon immediately took out his cell phone and called Killer Croc Waylon. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Killer Croc wailing on the other end.
"Sheriff, my company's storefront was flooded! Can you give me a certificate of insurance?!"
"Okay, of course, but you have to survive first. We are short of a driver here. What are you willing to do?"
"I knew you would have a solution. Of course I'd love to help you. But now there's water all over my house and I'm trapped..."
Gordon gave an incredulous expression and said, "What?!"
"I said there's water outside my house and I can't get out..."
"You're a fucking alligator!!!"
"Oh, wait, I forgot after walking upright for so long."
A few minutes later, amid the terrified screams of a group of police officers, the crocodile's eyes and back emerged from the water, and the killer crocodile roared out, scaring people away in all directions.
He laughed happily, and then a piece of clothing covered his face. Gordon said with disgust: "Hurry up and put on your clothes, or I will arrest you for sexual harassment!"
Soon everyone was gathered, and now they needed to find another existence that could split the waves. Jason thought about it and decided to call Tim. Soon the sound of a helicopter appeared on the roof of a residential building.
Elsa jumped directly from the helicopter, swam her two chubby hands faster than the propellers, and soon swam to the door, running up all wet.
Gordon quickly picked her up, but Aisha waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "I can split the waves with the power of the yellow light, but you have to give me two police cars after that!"
"What do you want a police car for?"
Elsa smiled, showing her sharp teeth.
Although Gordon felt sorry for the police cars, he also knew that he had to act accordingly in an emergency. Besides, Elsa was already asking for them, and based on the amount she spent, she would have needed dozens of them under normal circumstances.
In the end, the personnel were divided into two teams. On one side, the Joker drove, Raven led the way, and Dick was responsible for placing the equipment. On the other side, Killer Croc drove, Elsa led the way, and Jason placed the equipment.
The entire discussion and assembly time lasted only a dozen minutes before the two cars drove into the sea in the midst of a violent storm.
With a small ice-generating device fixed in front of the car constantly freezing the road surface into solid ice, the two cars rushed out in two directions, north and south.
Two rays of light, one yellow and one purple, split the huge waves surrounding the east coast, as magnificent as Moses parting the sea.
Countless freezing devices were deployed, and hundreds of kilometers of Gotham coastline were completely frozen.
As Victor debugged the equipment, the dense ice layer continued to spread into the sea. Even the rain clouds in the center of the hurricane were shrouded in a thin layer of cold mist. In an instant, there was only vastness between heaven and earth.
