The only mutant in American comics, Gwen came to my house late at night
Chapter 272
After waiting for a while, when he saw that the contents of the diary were no longer updated, Roddy closed the diary and stood up.
“Would you like to go see this crosser?”
The thought came to Roddy’s mind.
Soon;
He has the answer.
Want!
So the next second;
Roddy’s figure instantly disappeared in place.
He teleported directly from Central City to Gotham City.
The two cities are separated by almost six or seven hundred kilometers, which is not very far.
In fact;
Central City, Starling City, Gotham City, Metropolis, these four cities are quite close to each other.
Among them, Gotham City and Metropolis are the closest apart.
Two cities across the sea!
Then there is the central city and the city of Starling, which are about a hundred kilometers away.
It’s not far apart.
Roddy hadn’t been to Gotham City before.
In fact, on the DC Universe side, he has just been to a central city.
And didn’t walk around the central city very carefully, just checked in an interstellar laboratory and the fast food restaurant where the Flash crush Iris worked.
As for Gotham City, Roddy’s first impression of the city is quite retro.
The architecture here has a Renaissance feel.
It gives a sense of historical heaviness.
And;
It was clearly sunny and the sun was out.
But there is always a feeling of shade.
Especially in some alleys, you can’t see the depths of the inside from the outside, and there is a feeling that sin is constantly breeding in it.
It is said that Gotham City is very chaotic, and Roddy can be regarded as seeing it today.
He had only been in Gotham City for a few minutes, and he had already seen more than a dozen police cars and three fire trucks whizzing past.
This city, even with Batman’s governance for more than twenty years, has not changed for the better.
Roddy feels that this is inseparable from Batman’s no-kill principle.
If Batman directly kills every time he encounters a criminal.
Maybe the city has long become a comfortable city suitable for ordinary people’s life, and when the time comes, it will be rated as one of the top ten most livable cities in the United States.
Of course!
That was just Roddy’s imagination.
Whether specific things will become like this is actually not easy to say.
And;
Batman’s no-kill principle is also impossible to break.
After all, people in their forties and almost fifty years old have adhered to the concept of most of their lives, how can they say that they are broken?
Inherent concepts, how can it be so easy to change!
1075 Main Street.
It is adjacent to Gotham City’s famous Mozambique Street.
Mozambique Street has the highest crime rate in Gotham, shops are robbed an average of 1.8 times a day, and banks on Mozambique Street are equipped with armed forces guards with live ammunition and body armor.
Otherwise, they will have to be robbed!
Even so, banks here are still visited by robbers an average of 1.2 times a month!
Perhaps many people will think, obviously the streets of Mozambique are so chaotic, why do people still open shops here? Why are banks still here?
In fact;
They also have no better choice.
The streets of Mozambique are chaotic, but they are at least used to it.
If moving to another place in Gotham City.
Then they have to face another group of criminals, and they have to adapt again.
And;
The merchant owners here are basically familiar with the criminals nearby, even if they are robbed, everyone will be more restrained and basically will not cause human life.
Anyway, if you are robbed, there is an insurance company to settle the claim, but if the person dies, even if you lose money, you can’t use it, right?
So, instead of changing places and adapting again, it’s better to stay here honestly.
Besides, although the streets of Mozambique are chaotic, business is also very good.
There is a lot of foot traffic.
Even if they have to be robbed every day, but after a month, the owners of these shops still make money.
In Gotham, doing business is not easy.
Some earn well.
Can’t ask for too much!
And 1075 Street, which is adjacent to Mozambique Street, is no better here.
This is the territory of the Dead Fisheye Gang and the Viper Gang.
The Dead Fisheye Gang made countless enemies outside.
So there are shootouts here almost every day.
The Viper Gang is a human snake trader, there are no enemies, but occasionally it will provoke some guys who are not easy to mess with to retaliate against them, so the Viper Gang’s territory is also quite chaotic.
Every third and fifth, a nightclub is bombed or something.
But it’s strange, even so, people’s business is still doing well.
Probably this is the characteristic of Gotham City!
The people who live here have long been accustomed to everything here.
Gunfight? Explode? That’s all the order of the day.
Even ordinary people carry a weapon with them when they go out.
Not intending to hurt who goes.
It’s used to protect yourself!
After all;
No one knows if they will be involved in a gang fight halfway out to buy a cigarette.
In case of such a thing, if you have a weapon in your hand, you can at least resist it.
Don’t be killed, you can only shout a few words such as “let go ~ me”.
Cockroach apartment.
This is a 7-storey townhouse.
The apartments are not expensive to rent, but the rooms are not large, each room is only 30 square meters in size.
However, although the house is small, it is well equipped.
Toilet, kitchen, living room, bedroom, all the same.
There’s even a tiny storage room for some sundries.
But correspondingly, the space is not very large.
However, with a rent of $600 a month, it is already good to be able to rent such a house.
Especially such lots.
If it weren’t for the Mozambican Street next door, a lot and house like this would be at least $900 a month.
There are as many as 1000 upwards.
Is it expensive?
But there are still many people renting! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
At the door of the cockroach apartment, Roddy came from not far away and looked up at the apartment.
“Did you come up with this name with your feet?”
Roddy spat out the name of the apartment.
At this time, a black couple came out of the apartment.
The two looked young, wearing nose rings, large gold chains, and dirty braids, typical black style.
“Hey buddy! Would you like to order something good? ”
When the black man saw Roddy, a strange Asian, he came over with a giggle and pulled up his clothes, revealing a few bags of things stuffed around his waist.
“No thanks.”
Roddy shook his head in refusal.
But at this time something cold pressed against his waist.
“Don’t be afraid, buddy, we won’t hurt you!”
The black man looked at Roddy with a grin.
But the eyes were cold, and Roddy had no hesitation that they would really shoot.
After all;
This is Gotham!
“I know, but I’m going to hurt you.”
Roddy looked down at the gun in the other party’s hand, and then said to the other party.
“???”
The two blacks had question marks on their faces.
Just as he wanted to laugh out loud, a finger lightly tapped on the black man in front of him.
Bang!
The black man instantly turned into flying ash.
Not even a single bit of wreckage remained.
The black woman with the gun against Roddy was stupid.
She subconsciously screamed and shot.
Bang bang two gunshots.
Two bullets hit Roddy’s body, but fell weakly to the ground, making a clanging sound.
Roddy blew at the black woman.
A wave of frost rushed away, instantly freezing the screaming black woman into ice.
With a casual wave of his hand, Roddy exploded with a bang, shattering into countless fingernail-sized ice slag, falling all over the ground.
At this time, other people passing by around seemed to have completely ignored this scene.
Still rushing by on his own.
No one stopped to take a second look.
Until Roddy turned around and walked into the cockroach apartment, a passing black man was slid by the ice slag on the ground, and the people around him seemed to suddenly find the ice slag on the ground, and looked at it one by one in surprise.
“Who poured the ice on the ground? Damn it! My new pants!! ”
The fallen black man got up, cursed and looked at his new pants, while kicking the ice slag on the ground, angry. (Zhao Qianzhao) The people around him only looked away after a few glances.
Keep doing your own thing.
In Gotham, it seems that there is a layer of something between people.
Here, no one cares about a stranger.
Even familiar people, when you are in trouble, most of them will pretend not to know you.
The other side;
Roddy, who walked into the cockroach apartment, had already walked down the stairs to the 7th floor of the apartment at this time.
Sheila lives in room 706 of this apartment.
Outrageously, the apartment on the 7th floor did not have an elevator!
If you live on the 7th floor and want to move something, you must not tire people to death?
In front of room 706.
After a while;
I heard the sound of slippers stepping on the floor in the room.
“Who is it?”
A woman’s voice came from the other side of the door.
“Police, open the door.”
Roddy said lightly.
Police paper?
Sheila in the room looked puzzled.
Didn’t the police just come yesterday?
Why is it here again today?
Could it be that something happened nearby again?!
While complaining about the poor environment here, Ciela unlocked the door and opened it.
PS: The second more to offer!!。
