Black Manta was not a kind person either when he was a human or when he was "a fish".
Having been surrounded by violence and killing all his life, he had some clear understanding and understanding of the situation he was facing at this time.
If the city isn't collectively descending into some kind of madness right now, someone is putting a big price on his head.
However, Black Bat Ben has many enemies, both on land and in the water. He couldn't figure out who could mobilize such a large amount of energy and mobilize so much money to mobilize the gangsters in the entire city. Let's look for him together.
However, these are not important for now. The important thing is that it is extremely unwise to rashly expose one's position and engage in any battle with the opponent without knowing the details and information of the opponent.
He is a black bat, not a lazy dog.
While packing his things, he was thinking quickly in his head. The only thing that Black Bat Ben was glad about now was that the other party only knew that he was in Star City, but did not know his specific location or other information.
Otherwise, he might have been ambushed when he returned to this house. Or, when he walked out of the old captain's house, there might have been dozens of guns pointed at his head outside the door.
With that suit and that helmet, Black Manta is a terrifying supercriminal. Without it, he's just an ordinary human named David, who can be shot and killed.
Therefore, despite repeated hesitation, no matter how much he hesitated whether he would be discovered because of this iconic battle suit, the insecure Black Manta directly put on his battle suit and buttoned up the one that would make his head appear visible. Very big helmet.
At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little safer.
only……
There was a crash, and when the window glass shattered, a small brown-green, smoking metal jar entered the room along with the cold wind.
"Farke!"
Those guys finally found him!
The sofa was overturned and buckled on the bomb. With a muffled sound that was not clear, a violent fire broke out under the sofa, and raging smoke came out.
"Um?"
With some doubts in his heart, Black Bat Ben thought this would be...
Before he could think too much, the windows were broken one by one, and more smoke bombs and tear gas were thrown in from outside.
For a moment, the room was even more terrifying than a fire. It was filled with thick smoke and it was hard to see even one's fingers.
Fortunately, the battle suit Black Manta wears is actually a diving suit, which comes with breathing equipment and protective goggles. Otherwise, this concentration of smoke would be enough to make people lose their combat effectiveness.
"wrong!"
While thinking about countermeasures, Black Manta, who was looking out the window, suddenly realized something and yelled: "Fake! Those guys want to capture me alive! They want to try me again and lock me up!"
From beginning to end, Black Manta never felt that he was a real mental patient. He always believed that it was those unscrupulous doctors who murdered him for some dirty reasons.
And Black Bat Ben, who has experienced countless ups and downs since childhood and suffered countless hardships in life, has always believed that the days he was imprisoned in a mental hospital were the darkest and most depressing days in his life.
At this moment, looking at the smoke filling the room, Black Bat Ben seemed to see himself returning to the ward, putting on a straitjacket, being fed a lot of medicine, and having a pillow covering his face and almost falling asleep. Pictures of death.
"No... never!"
Outside the window, after a long period of silence, someone holding a gun cautiously walked towards the door and window.
Black Bat Ben looked over there. The eyes of the huge mask gathered energy and silently shot out a red energy beam.
The broken wooden wall looked like paper that had been punctured, and the dead person looked like he had been hit by a cannonball, losing one-third of his chest and abdomen. His death was extremely miserable, but there was no trace of it. pain.
"Farke! He didn't faint! He's really here!"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The miserable death of his companion who died right in front of them greatly stimulated everyone else. These gangsters, who had no cooperation or tactics to begin with, were very courageous to be able to resist turning around and running away.
Screaming and running around, these guys completely carried forward the essence of street combat: wherever the enemy is, shoot all the bullets there until they are empty.
Therefore, for a while, the area around this remote single-family house was also filled with smoke and fire, lighting up the dark night like fireworks.
Maybe they were worried that the firepower of these guys was not enough, so they wanted to have fun together, adding a sense of romance and warmth to this cool night.
In the room, thick red pillars of fire broke through the wooden walls from time to time. While burning through the wood, they also burned through one or two unlucky people from time to time, making them dance and laugh happily.
…………
The battle started abruptly and ended very quickly.
After only a minute or two, a large number of deaths caused heavy losses to these improvised search teams, and they had to flee in a hurry.
And Black Bat Ben didn't care whether he was exposed or not. The fact that these guys came to his door already showed that he was completely exposed in the eyes of others. It really didn't make much difference whether he wore these clothes or not.
He knew that the top priority now was to run quickly, to the dock, to the river, to the sea.
As long as he can get into the water, I believe that with his ability and flexibility, he will be able to escape.
If he keeps this life and is free, he will naturally come to take revenge when the time comes.
…
"Huh...huh...damn...bitch!"
When swimming in the sea wearing this suit, Black Manta is worthy of his title and really will not lose to a real fish.
But similarly, when he was running in the snow at night wearing this suit, he was indeed like a landed fish, not only clumsy, but also extremely energy-consuming.
In the battle just now, he failed to kill everyone. Now his news must have been learned by the messenger behind the scenes. A new round of pursuit may come at any time, and he can't help but let go now. Come, thinking that you are safe and sound.
After a brief rest, Black Bat Ben continued running in one direction.
He now regrets why he wanted to take revenge so eagerly. He chose to come here to take revenge in a winter when the rivers were frozen and the ground was covered with snow. It was obvious that spring was not far away, even if he had to wait another month or two. OK.
While he was thinking, a light lit up behind him.
Along with the roar of the car engine, there were also some complicated and disturbing conversations that reached his ears.
The pursuers are coming.
And...there are not a few people.
"Shet!"
Black Bat Ben wanted to spit hard, but considering that he was currently wearing a mask, he gave up the idea.
With his back against the cold tree, Black Bat Ben faced his pursuers, the two big eyes on his mask glowing red again.
Okay, chase me, I will kill you all! If a batch comes, kill them all! Let's see how long you can catch up!
"Fake! RPG!"
The thin tail flames and the movements on the shoulders made Black Bat Ben recognize what it was even from a long distance away.
His combat uniform indeed assembled some black technology and cost a lot of money. But it can withstand ordinary bullets, but it may not be able to withstand sniper bullets. It certainly can't withstand something like an RPG anyway.
He panicked and fell to the snow beside him. The RPG with a harsh sound in the air flew past him and hit a big tree not far away.
While the sawdust was flying, Black Bat Ben's eyes were red from the inside out.
"ah--!!"
He shouted loudly and attacked everyone.
In the light of the fire, this small forest became lively.
…………
"Ahem...Fake, raised by these cousins..."
Even scolding people seems a bit weak, and Black Bat Ben's current situation is not particularly good.
After escaping from that temporary residence, he experienced several passive group starts, often just after a battle, before taking a break and running a few steps. Not long after he arrived at another hiding place, Someone caught up with me again.
The continuous fighting forced Black Manta to abandon his originally planned route, and he could only fight and retreat based on the actual situation, and act according to the opportunity.
Now, Black Manta really no longer doubts his previous judgment. He must have really offended some powerful person or organization. The entire city's social groups are really looking for him!
Moreover, after all, he was just an ordinary person wearing high-tech armor, and he was not able to fight in the water, which he was good at. The long-term consumption made him exhausted physically and mentally, and he also suffered a lot of injuries.
Even the energy in his battle suit was almost gone.
It was because of his powerful battle suit with quick and simple attack methods that he was able to survive until now. If there was something wrong with the battle suit, even if he could really break out of the siege, he would not be able to dive away.
However, the only good news is that because of his madness and because he is not being hunted by orthodox official forces after all, those people do not dare to go too far and are secretive, let alone fight the RPG into the urban area. put.
Therefore, after escaping towards the city, the strength and number of people chasing him were obviously much smaller. After being killed by him, they were basically thrown away.
But...it's almost dawn.
Wearing this pitch-black diving suit, although his head looks a bit bigger, with the cover of the night, he can still avoid others' attention, whether he escapes or hides.
If it were daylight, with his outfit, he would be spotted at a glance.
"You can't have too much rest time, I have to get out of here quickly!"
At this time, Black Manta will no longer look down on ordinary people because he possesses super weapons and has hunted down superheroes.
Facts have proved that at certain special moments, a gangster who pulls out a gun from his belt can kill a person a hundred times more powerful than him.
The gunfire can prove this.
…
Taking off the helmet and holding it in his arms, Black Bat Ben leaned against the wall in the alley, walked to the corner, and looked outside carefully.
This kind of messy place doesn't attract too many people's attention and is often a neglected place in the city. But because of this, it usually becomes a gathering place for some unscrupulous gangsters.
At this time, there were some gangsters outside, sitting on the steps under the street lights, riding skateboards, talking unscrupulously about this ruthless person they knew.
He frowned and glanced behind him, hesitated, and then looked at the helmet in his hand. Black Bat pulled a bicycle next to him and broke the chain, put the helmet on the back seat, and rode with a calm expression. go out.
"hey~man, where are you going~"
Of course, the little gangster couldn't miss him. He stood up very arrogantly and laughed at him with a few words, such as the clothes were good, were they stolen at the swimming pool?
If it were normal times, these boys' lives would have been lost.
But now, Black Bat Ben doesn't want to pay attention to them, and escaping is the key.
However, there are such people in this world who specialize in doing things that others don't like, hate, and won't do, in order to show off their "ability."
The butterfly knife flew up and down, and the gangsters blocked Black Bat Ben's path.
"roll."
Black Bat Ben stared at the other person with murderous intent in his eyes: "I will only say it once."
"Damn it, Fake, let me tell you this straight, you must crawl out of here today. Hahahaha!"
The other gangsters also laughed happily, but one of them looked at the things placed on the back seat of Black Manta's car and felt that they looked familiar and felt that he had seen them somewhere.
After a difficult search in his barren brain, he opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly: "It's him! It's the one million!"
"What?"
"One million! That fish! That bounty!"
Both parties were obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly backed away. Just as Black Bat was about to turn around and get his helmet, there was a loud gunshot.
Falling off the bicycle and falling to the ground, Black Bat Ben covered his abdomen with a look of disbelief.
I would actually die...what a shame...
He closed his eyes, almost in tears.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all. I heard a few inexplicable sounds... the same sound of falling to the ground.
At the same time, there were footsteps.
So, when he opened his eyes again, Black Bat Ben saw the figures of the gangsters lying on the ground, Robin Hood standing in front of him, and an arrow aimed at his head.
"Huh, Green Arrow?"
Black Bat Ben seemed very happy and suddenly became energetic: "You killed them! Right!"
"No."
Green Arrow spoke slowly: "That's just a powerful tranquilizer arrow."
"Ah."
He lay back on the ground: "Okay."
Green Arrow kept moving, kicked the helmet to his side, and asked again: "Do you know how much trouble you have brought to this city?"
"Huh, me? I'll give it to...you have the final say, boss."
Frowning slightly, Green Arrow asked again: "Why are they chasing you? What exactly have you done? Who is instructing them to chase you?"
"Fake!!"
Black Bat Ben suddenly became very excited. Regardless of his collapsed abdominal wound, he struggled to stand up and yelled: "Fake, Fake, Fake! I want to know too! I also want to know which bitch did it!
Better not let me catch him! Otherwise I will definitely cut off his eggs! "
Black Bolt's voice was too loud, and Green Arrow felt that it would attract more people and create more uncertainty.
Therefore, the arrow moved down slightly, came out of the string, and shot Black Bat Ben on the shoulder.
"you……"
"Don't worry."
Green Arrow stood up: "It's just a tranquilizer arrow."
Black Bat Ben slowly fell to the ground.
