Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1564 Charged In, Surrounded and Killed

Jarvis said, “The government has taken control of F2F and other communication apps. Most of the communication in Grand Rapids has been cut off.”

Tony frowned.

That meant that this wasn’t a small matter, or the government wouldn’t casually touch Titanium Phone Company’s channels. To put it another way, Titanium Phone Company hadn’t said anything, which meant that the situation was really serious. But a news blackout by the government was meaningless to Tony.

Jenny had “lost” some of the back doors to Titanium Phone Company’s F2F and Messenger to Pepper long ago.

It was nothing more than a mutually and tacitly acknowledged “oversight.” Thus, Tony had much more authority than the American government in these two most popular social media apps. Jarvis could still monitor the news coming out of Grand Rapids online.

“Send a message to Bruce and ask if he wants help,” Tony instructed as he read the intelligence on Grand Rapids.

Less than two seconds later, Luke replied, “Up to you, but we’ll try to wrap things up in 20 minutes.”

Tony snorted and gulped down the energy drink he was holding. ….An old trick! You’re trying to provoke me again. Do you think I’ll fall for it?

30 seconds later, a long trail of flames streaked through the night sky and headed west.

As Luke and the others advanced, the police and the National Guard finally caught their breaths.

The moment the team started to advance, Luke hacked into the two parties’ wireless comms and started giving them orders.

While the highest-ranking officers didn’t say anything, most of the mid- and low-level officers listened to the orders because it was the Dark Knight and Black Cat.

If it were last year, the National Guard wouldn’t have shown up so quickly. After the Battle of New York, various states passed emergency legislation to give the National Guard the right to act quickly in the face of major events.

When it came to non-humans, the National Guard could act accordingly and didn’t have to worry about being held responsible for taking risks.

Today was just not their day.

The troops closest to Michigan entered Grand Rapids two hours ago.

Then, they were soundly routed.

Half an hour after the battle started, their command center was wiped out.

At that time, the various troops in contact with the command center only heard screams and cries of alarm. Then, there was no longer any activity on the other side.

The soldiers’ morale plummeted.

They had lost their leaders in one go, and were surrounded by humanoid monsters.

In less than an hour, they had been beaten to a pulp by the terrifying monsters. If it wasn’t for the police, who were familiar with the local terrain, they would’ve been wiped out long ago.

Even then, before Luke took charge, the police officers and the soldiers could only hide in solid buildings and do their best to fend off the humanoid monsters.

Without reinforcements or orders, nobody knew what to do. Everybody felt that they were going to die here.

The sudden appearance of the Dark Knight and his orders embarrassed many people, but it also gave them hope.

Most troops still hesitated and didn’t take action right away, but the braver troops decisively followed orders and managed to reconvene with the remaining troops.

These troops were all on the Bat Squad’s route. It was understandable that they were braver.

After all, they saw with their own eyes how the Bat Squad charged over and shot and killed all the monsters around them.

If they didn’t move now, when would they?

Even if the humanoid monsters immediately counterattacked, there was still the Bat Squad in the front.

The soldiers weren’t the monsters’ match, but these monsters weren’t the superheroes’ match either.

After some soldiers sent images of the scene to their allies via F2F and Messenger, the other troops started moving.

In fact, the situation they were facing wasn’t as bad as they thought. In most areas, their numbers and firepower were enough to take down the enemy. Luke told Alfred to calculate the route, and told the remaining troops to reconvene before retreating steadily with the civilians.

As long as they didn’t panic, they weren’t in too much danger for the time being.

It couldn’t be helped.

Just as Luke sent a casual reply to Tony, the Big Dipper clone sent intelligence back to the team. “Something’s up. The monsters are rounding up civilians and sending them to the city center. Some officers and the National Guard who haven’t been killed have also been sent over.”

Frank: “Are there a lot of them?”

Big Dipper said, “Anyone who is not dead is escorted to the city center by the monsters, and the number of monsters is still increasing.”

Frank: “Switch to prioritizing stopping the incident at the source. Any questions?”

Everybody said, “No.”

Frank said, “Knight, Bastet, attack the city center. Don’t go too fast and try to distract the monsters. Deathstrike and Iron Cage will slow them down and cover the left and right flanks. Big Dipper, try not to attack. Find an opportunity to sneak into the city center and check the enemy’s situation.”

He then said to Luke in private, “Can you set up two firepower support units? For you and Bastet.”

Luke said, “Okay. Give me 30 seconds.”

Luke and Selina entered an underground carpark.

A moment later, two firepower support units that looked like mobile gun turrets appeared.

They could reach a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Coupled with ample muzzles and launchers, as well as a huge amount of ammo, they couldn’t be any more practical.

The sound of the machine guns was a nightmare for the humanoid monsters, but to the officers and the soldiers, it was the sound of heaven.

The National Guard had also arrived in armored vehicles, which had been besieged and wiped out in 20 minutes.

However, the soldiers were certain that the two “Bat tanks” in front of them, which had been a highlight in the Battle of New York, were definitely different from the garbage used. They were not disappointed.

With Alice and Angel protecting the sides, the two tanks cut through the increasing number of humanoid monsters like a hot knife through butter.

Four chains of fire swept back and forth, blowing up the monsters that dared to attack them.

Luke and Selina didn’t go at max speed, but advanced steadily at 30 kilometers per hour. The humanoid monsters’ attention was mostly focused on the powerful tanks, which gave the people in the city precious time to escape.

At the same time, with the squad protecting them, the tanks weren’t surrounded by the monsters, and the damage output was much higher.

Big Dipper also took advantage of this fierce battle to sneak into Grand Rapids’ central station via an underpass.
