I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 158 Returning to the Underground
Plop, clatter.

When Jacques rushed out of the channel with the water, this time he learned from his previous experience, and he had already adjusted his position in the air, and his feet landed smoothly.

However, before it was his turn to rejoice, a burly figure suddenly rushed from the front, instantly crushing him to the ground with powerful force.

"Who is it so hungry?"

What came into Jacques' eyes was the sharp and ferocious fangs, and a pair of light yellow eyes like beasts, full of hunger and bloodlust.

But in the next instant, there was another low buzzing sound of something slipping from the pipe, and then two figures jumped out of the pipe one after another.When they saw the scene of Jacques being thrown down, the two kicked at the same time, and kicked the huge monster that was pressing on Jacques away.

"Wait, wait! Don't do it yet—Killer Crocodile! Waylon Jones! It's me, do you recognize me?"

Jacques took off his breathing mask, ran up to Killer Crocodile and helped him up.Jacques soon discovered that the tall body of the killer crocodile was not as heavy as imagined.

"You are. Jacques Zhou? You are still alive, I thought you were dead."

Seeing the weak appearance of Killer Crocodile, Jacques frowned slightly.

"You're short of food? What about the others? How's Vicky doing?"

Killer Crocodile stood up unsteadily, waved his hands and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about that, she shouldn't be starving to death. At least that's how it was when I saw her last time. Has the flood outside receded?"

Jacques shook his head, Killer Crocodile's pale yellow eyes clearly showed disappointment, then he raised his head and noticed the two Batmen behind Jacques, their hideous scaled faces immediately showed a look of vigilance.

"Who are they? This costume is Batman. Isn't that right? I fought Batman, he's not the build."

"Don't worry, Killer Crocodile, they're not enemies—let's go to the others first, I've found a way to help you."

Killer Crocodile glanced suspiciously at Thomas and Brucey, then walked inside with weak steps lightly and heavily.

Soon, Jacques came to the wide underground space again.As soon as he walked in, a slender and light body flew towards Jacques, hugging Jacques tightly.

"Jacques, you're finally back. I'm so scared. I thought you left me alone."

Jacques caressed Vicky's slightly dry and messy blond hair, patted her back with the other hand, and comforted her softly.

"It's alright, Vicky, I've found a way to get you all out."

Vicky raised her head and looked at Jacques with blurred eyes. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly her feet went limp, and her whole body fell on Jacques.

"You'd better let us go out instead of just comforting us, otherwise we'll be fine, but this lady from the ground hasn't eaten at all for two days."

Hearing the weak voice of the female mouse catcher, Jacques looked up and looked around, only to see her curled up in a corner at the corner, and it seemed that her condition was worse than Vicky.

However, the other underground residents looked much better. When he saw the piles of small animal remains on the ground, Jacques immediately understood what happened.

It appears that due to lack of food, they used the female ratcatcher's pets as food.Naturally, a female mouse catcher would not eat her "friend", and Vicky could not accept eating a raw mouse either.As for the killer crocodile, it is probably because he knows that he has too much food and gives priority to giving food to others.

Jacques sighed. It seems that he came back in time. If it takes another day or two, this place may become a purgatory on earth.

"Killer Crocodile, besides the pipe that came in just now, is there any other way out of here? You said that this place used to be an abandoned subway platform in Gotham many years ago, so there must be a route leading to other places."

Killer Crocodile frowned, and said slowly after hesitating for a moment.

"Yes, yes. The problem is that it's flooded. And what's worse is that the end of the path is the outfall of the Gotham port - now it's a dead end to take that route."

After listening to Killer Crocodile's words, Jacques breathed a sigh of relief, and after closing his eyes for a while, a confident smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay, you will leave from that exit later, and when you get outside the port of Gotham, Amanda Waller's warship will rescue you there"

Killer Crocodile and Vicky both opened their mouths and stared at Jacques in disbelief.And soon Killer Crocodile's expression became angry, and he took a step forward and grabbed Jacques by the collar.

"Are you joking at this hour—"

"Calm down Waylon Jones, it's no good for me to lie to you, believe me, this is the only way for you to survive."

After breaking free from the killer crocodile, Jacques turned to look at Bruce Wayne.

"Brucie, can you help me get them out?"

Brucey frowned slightly, and when her eyes fell on one of the underground residents, a skinny little girl who looked at her with fearful eyes, she sighed softly in a barely audible voice.

"Remember, Jacques, you owe me a favor."

And Vicky clung tightly to Jacques' arm, her voice trembling slightly with fear.

"Waller, isn't she looking for us now? My home has also been blown up by her. If it falls into her hands, it will be equal to me"

"Just trust me, Vicky. When you see Amanda Waller, you can ask her to give you an exclusive interview, whether it's asking her to apologize, or exposing the violent behavior of the bad guys. But Maybe you'll have to sort out the answers for her, but you're pretty good at that, aren't you?"

Just when Vicky seemed to be going to question Jacques further, suddenly from the direction they came in, there was the sound of splashing water, and at the same time, the sound of something falling through the pipe one after another.
"Someone's coming? Who's—"

Killer Crocodile wanted to check the situation vigilantly, but Jacques directly stopped him with his hand.

"You don't have to worry about it, just hurry up and lead the way and leave with the others, and leave it to me here."

As soon as the words fell, Jacques heard a sharp and weird laughter from the passage—this was the scare box he put down when he just came out of the passage.Although it will not cause much actual lethality, it is enough to delay the enemy and issue an alarm.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, if you cherish life, get out of here immediately—"

Jacques gently pushed Vicky towards Brucey's direction, then turned around and shook his hand, a sharp dagger had been summoned to his hand, and he was in a fighting posture.

"This place is about to become a battlefield."
