I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 129 Gotham at Sea
"Boy! Tell me where the hell is Barbara! How is she now!"

On the kayak, Gordon roughly grabbed Jacques's wet collar and roared excitedly.

"Calm down, first calm down Inspector Gordon, I also want to know this question, at least we agree on the point of wanting to ensure Barbara's safety."

Jacques smiled wryly and patted Gordon's arm. Gordon seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the mobile phone on his waist rang.

Gordon had no choice but to let go of Jacques' collar first, but still stared at him with sharp eyes, and at the same time picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hey, Waller, how did you find my phone number—I'm looking for trapped people outside! Anyway, my command has been handed over to you. Instead of sitting there, I might as well come out and do something practical!"

Disgust and impatience were clearly written on Gordon's face, and at the same time he made a silent gesture to Jacques.

"No—nothing, no one. Got it, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Seeing Gordon hang up the phone, Jacques was also relieved.At least from the current situation, Gordon is on his side.

"So what happened, how did Gotham City become Gotham Sea?"

Jacques looked around. From the architectural point of view, this place seemed to be the Burnley district of Gotham, but now the road was submerged by seawater nearly two meters high.

"You really don't know what's going on?"

Gordon looked at Jacques suspiciously, and after seeing the latter shook his head seriously, Gordon sighed.

"The day the Poison Ivy took over downtown, Amanda Waller characterized the incident as a transhuman terrorist attack and sent a large number of troops to Gotham to arrest you."

To be precise, he wanted to silence me, Jacques complained in his heart, but he didn't speak, just listened quietly to Gordon's continuation.

"You should know what happened next. Waller sent troops to raid residents' apartments to arrest you, causing many casualties—but compared to what happened later, this is a trivial matter."

Gordon's expression became more serious, he held up his black-rimmed glasses, and then continued.

"That night, without any warning, the water level near the coast of Gotham City suddenly rose by nearly five meters, and a large amount of seawater flooded the city of Gotham City. What's worse, the sewers that were supposed to play a drainage role turned into seawater instead. One of the sources of backwatering"

Jacques frowned. He was very clear about the complexity and size of Gotham's sewers. Even if it couldn't be emptied immediately, it wouldn't be flooded by sea water.

"Amanda Waller and the mayor held a press conference, claiming that the flood was a terrorist attack by Batman and his henchmen, the Gotham Knights. And Waller took over the command of GCPD based on this, and took over the disaster relief and search mission."

This is not difficult to imagine, it seems that Waller intends to put all the blame on Jacques and the others.

"So Inspector Gordon came out to help the trapped people after he was robbed of his command?"

With a gloomy face, Gordon turned his head to look at the city flooded by sea water.

"The 'disaster relief force' under Waller's command does not focus on disaster relief at all, but concentrates on search, scientific research, and data transfer of military buildings. Rather than letting me listen to her nonsense and being unable to do anything, it is better to come out and be able to do nothing." Saving one more is one."

"I was trapped in the hospital at the time, but fortunately I was rescued by Inspector Gordon. Since I am still on vacation, I don't need to follow orders. In addition, my body has almost recovered, so I joined in to help."

Jacques looked at Montoya, who took over Gordon's conversation, with admiration in his heart.He is well aware of the serious injuries that Montoya received before, theoretically he needs to recuperate during this period of time.

As if sensing Jacques' gaze, Montoya grinned.

"These injuries weren't considered serious in the first place, and it's commonplace for members of our GCPD Serious Crime Squad. However, I have something to confirm with you."

Montoya's expression became serious,
"This flood that caused a lot of damage and many casualties will not be you"

Jacques shook his head lightly, he didn't intend to take the blame.

"Of course it's impossible. A city submerged by sea water has nothing to do with a peaceful and stable life; let alone being a terrorist is a career that is too much trouble for me."

Montoya and Gordon looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

"I think the same way. I don't say anything else in my life. I have seen a lot of super villains. I don't think you have that kind of temperament."

Jacques's face was full of black lines. Inspector Gordon's words sounded weird, and he didn't know whether it was a compliment or a belittling.

But speaking of the mastermind behind the scenes, Jacques murmured after thinking for a moment.

"Although I am not the instigator, I have some clues about who is really responsible for this, and Inspector Gordon also knows this person."

Gordon frowned, as if thinking of something, his face became gloomy.

"Amanda Waller, I think she's very likely to have something to do with this flood."

After hearing what Jacques said, Montoya opened his mouth involuntarily because of surprise, but Gordon didn't seem to show anything special, as if he had already guessed Jacques' answer.

"Tell me, what did that woman do?"

Jacques sorted out his thoughts, and then briefly described the collusion between Waller and the Owl Court to carry out the resurrection claw experiment under Gotham.

Compared with Montoya with an unbelievable face, Gordon appeared calmer and calmer.I saw him gently resting his unshaven chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.

"Waller wants to have a private army of superhumans, which I and Batman have known for a long time. She has always wanted to intervene in Arkham and take away the prisoners inside, but she was defeated by me and Batman several times. Xia found out in time and stopped it."

So it seems that this is the reason why Harley and Ratcatcher in this world didn't join the Suicide Squad.

"Therefore, the reason why she cooperated with the Court of Owls to create sharp claws can also be imagined. But the problem is that the modified assassin of sharp claws, I have also heard from Batman, it stands to reason that it will not cause this kind of formation that flooded Gotham. battle."

"If it's just the resurrection claw, of course it won't be like this. The problem is, obviously, their use of the technology of summoning souls from another world is not only that."

Although he was also a visitor from another world who was summoned, but thinking of the mysterious woman he met just now, Jacques couldn't help but secretly scolded that group of lunatics for really playing with fire.

To be honest, Jacques almost guessed her identity when he saw her.

"You mean? They summoned other Atlantean superhumans who can control sea water, like Aquaman?"

Jacques sighed softly, looking at the turbid sea water beside him, feeling his scalp numb.

"If that's not a big problem, the problem is that if I'm not mistaken—"

"They probably summoned another Batman."
