Rescue Part 1

The cold wind in the night sky was like a knife, making Thea's exposed skin ache slightly, but she didn't have the mind to pay attention to these things anymore. She still didn't understand who was behind what happened tonight.

Can the antidote be found to save Felicity? Are Batman's teammates also trapped on campus? Where is Commissioner Gordon?

So many questions gathered in one place, which made her beautiful eyebrows furrow. At the same time, she became relentless in her heart. No matter who instigated this incident, she must kill them!

Returning to the sky above the campus, she could see with the faint moonlight that the entire area was covered by a layer of light green gas. The busy place from a few days ago now gave people a sense of silence and darkness.

Thea lowered her altitude and observed carefully. In the dim light, she could see several strong men patrolling the camp from time to time with automatic weapons.

"It looks like they're wearing gas masks? This means the poisonous gas spreads through the respiratory system." Thea remembered the behavior patterns of these people and prepared to grab two of them upon retreating.

The skateboard silently passed over the heads of several people and was not noticed by the patrolling soldiers. Many people have this problem. A normal person's vision is a 120-degree angle in front of their eyes.

Movie agents hid on the roof, and Thea took advantage of the night's cover and flew over the heads of several people in an arrogant manner, which was similar.

Thea didn't spend much time looking around and went straight to the room with the brightest lights.

This time she was very careful, controlling the skateboard to float smoothly into the house from the ground. It seemed to be a tiered classroom. Thea instantly saw Commissioner Gordon with gray hair and a khaki coat at the front of the classroom. The red-haired woman next to him seemed to be Barbara. Both were unconscious and tied back to back in chairs.

Perhaps they hadn't realized that someone had escaped and then returned; the guards were very relaxed. There were only two guys sitting, one to the south and one to the north. The guard closest to Thea was complaining from time to time, and the one a bit further away was dozing off.

After looking around and finding no ambushes, Thea did not act hastily. She slowly exited the room, preparing to find the other people first and then rescue them together.

Shortly after, she found Robin in the crowd. The young man had lost his former spirit and was lying on the grass with a group of citizens. Although he was asleep, his face occasionally showed a hint of fear.

After circling the camp for a while, Thea was a bit confused. Where did Catwoman go? Isn't she in the camp?

I hope she is lucky. After counting the number of people, it's fair to say that Catwoman is not here. Gordon, his daughter, Robin, and I, the four of us can barely fit within the skateboard's loading range. If I add another person, it's hard to say if it can still fly.

When she was about to return to rescue Gordon and his daughter and then go out to rescue Robin, she found an unexpected figure in the crowd: Leila? Why did she come here?

Leila's appearance made Thea a little worried. This person must be rescued, but having one more target does not mean that everyone could get on the skateboard. She can only give up on one and take the remaining three. Who should she choose?

Thea felt it difficult to make a choice. Logically, they were all acquaintances and she needed to rescue them all, but reality was cruel, and she could only selectively give up someone.

There were no guards around Leila and Robin, presumably because both were in casual clothes and did not draw attention, so they were placed in the crowd like ordinary citizens. These two people could be considered the easiest to rescue. What if I transport them out first and then come back?

This idea was very tempting, but Thea quickly abandoned the thought. She had entered once and was not discovered twice, but it was impossible for her to be so lucky every time. She was only relying on the night's cover and was not invisible.

This brings us back to the original question: who to abandon? Commissioner Gordon is currently a golden calf and must be rescued. Although his combat power is weak, his position as commissioner is very important. With his presence, he can mobilize the remaining police forces in the city. He had already recaptured a third of the urban area according to the plan. Many police officers were dispersed and not concentrated on the campus. As long as he raises the flag, he can quickly gather many police officers to help.

Next is Leila. As Amanda's deputy and the future leader of the Sky Eye Society, she must be rescued. As the former director, she is the type of person who has weak combat power but great appeal. Through her, he can get a lot of support from the Sky Eye Society, which is very important for him who could not find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Furthermore, he did not want to offend Amanda, a black woman with black hair, black eyes, and not very dark skin. This guy was ruthless and powerful. If he wanted to stay there, he had to flatter her a bit. Rescuing her representative would be at least a great achievement.

Who will take the remaining spots? Even if Thea didn't like Barbara, she still decided to give up on Robin. After all, a single girl with a 70-point appearance would be very dangerous in such an environment. Although outsiders didn't care about it, there were so many perverts in Gotham, who knew what she would encounter.

Robin has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a skinny figure. To be honest, his appearance, figure, knowledge, and conversation do not match the aesthetic standards here. It is truly a blessing that Barbara fell in love with him. I think no perverted gay would like him. I hope he can hold on to what he has, actually, even if he doesn't, it's not a waste of time...

I silently wished Robin from a distance: "Take care. It's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that there's no space on the skateboard."

As the patrolling guards moved away, Thea quickly tied Leila to the side of the skateboard and turned to rescue Gordon and his daughter.

Back in the classroom, the two guards remained the same. Thea got off the skateboard and used the stealth skills of the League of Assassins that Malcolm Merlyn had taught her to slowly walk toward the two men. The walkie-talkies were very close to him, and she would be exposed if she couldn't immediately incapacitate them.

After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of slitting the enemy's throat. First, he was afraid of being covered in blood. Second, stealth was not that incredible. It was just using the visual difference between light and dark. It was not invisibility. It was impossible for him to get close to the enemy without being noticed.

Thea walked to a dark corner, found a good angle, and did not use any high-tech arrows. She took out arrows with anesthetics. The dosage of each arrow was enough to knock out an elephant. She aimed at the guard who had his back to her and was still chattering.

"Whoosh" an arrow flew by, and the guard felt a chill on his neck. He slowly fell to the ground without saying anything. Before falling asleep, he saw a blurred figure behind him. He wanted to warn his companions, but he had completely lost control of his mouth.

His fall startled the guard who was dozing not far away. Before the man could understand what was happening, he saw a white light gradually increasing in his pupils. Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still stabbed in the shoulder. After a moment of numbness, he knew nothing.

After taking down the guards with two arrows, Thea immediately walked over to them and removed their gas masks. After such a short contact, she could already feel the poisonous gas affecting her again, and now she could probably only exert about 60% of her strength.

She picked up the gas mask and looked at it. Although she knew that putting it on would prevent the invasion of the poisonous gas, she felt a bit disgusted when she thought it had been pulled from the faces of two people. After making a quick decision, she decided not to put it on. She put the two masks in her backpack and took them back for testing to see if she could find the composition of the poisonous gas.

Unable to stay there for long, Thea went to Gordon and his daughter's chairs, feeling a bit disturbed. It seemed that these people knew he was an important person. They had tied the old director and Barbara tightly with a large iron chain and a padlock. He couldn't open it with his weak arms and legs, and searched the two guards but couldn't find the key.

Time waits for no one. Thea didn't know if there were surveillance cameras in the room. She controlled the skateboard to float and pulled an iron chain from outside. This thing was originally used for emergency rescue. The iron chain could support a weight of 500 kilos.

I apologized to the commissioner in my mind, took the iron chain that came with the skateboard, and tied it around the chair twice, connecting it to the original chains on their bodies. The crisscross and vertical binding made them more artistic and looked like dumplings from afar.

Controlling the skateboard, Gordon and his daughter slowly floated towards the door. Thea pushed from behind. There was very little space on the skateboard, not to mention Leila was already tied. There was really no place for the father and daughter to stay, anyway, they were both unconscious, so they probably wouldn't mind.

The door threshold was very low, and the skateboard could float out sticking to the ground, but it wouldn't be possible with these people. I didn't want to make much noise, so it was better to come in quietly and leave quietly. Maybe there was still a chance to save Robin.

But Murphy's Law is so magical that when you hope something is never discovered, countless curious people will certainly appear in a few minutes.

"Hurry, hurry...someone is breaking in!" Before Thea even reached the door, she heard the footsteps of no less than ten people.

It seems there are surveillance cameras here; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to be so fast. Without hesitation, I jumped on the skateboard and rushed out the door at full speed, not caring if Gordon and his daughter would get hurt.

There were occasional sounds of "bang", "dong", and "bang" at this distance of less than 30 meters. Thea, like the noble Mongols who executed prisoners in the past, pulled the two people like dead dogs and ran out of the room regardless of anything. In the surprised eyes of several guards who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, she ascended to a height and flew into the sky with a "whoosh".

From time to time, bursts of gunfire "bang bang" were heard from below. At this moment, Thea had already jumped to a height of 300 meters.

Of course, she could continue to pull up. With her fear of death and the performance of her skateboard, she could reach 500 meters, but she was afraid that the two people sitting on the hanging tickets wouldn't be able to hold on. She had a load support suit, but they didn't.

Glancing sideways at Leila, the young woman seemed to feel uncomfortable and twisted her body from time to time. She thought she had been very nice to Amanda. This was first-class treatment for her representative because when you compare with the two below, their situation was beyond description.

At this moment, Gordon and his daughter's heads and faces were covered in blood. Thea was shocked at first, but soon realized it wasn't caused by the high-altitude atmospheric pressure because Barbara had a large bump on her forehead, and one of Director Gordon's leather shoes had fallen off, revealing a half-new, half-old sock. This is the embarrassment of a single old man!

Thea secretly complained about Barbara not helping her father. You didn't even buy a pair of socks for him, and you walked with Robin every day. It was really pitiful that old Gordon had raised you with so much effort.

After dodging a rocket, Thea knew she couldn't save Robin. Spotlights were installed below, and a rough observation showed that there were about thirty or forty people in the group, all holding guns, but they had no experience in anti-aircraft defense and could only shoot into the sky with their guns.

"Oh," Thea sighed. They couldn't kill her and she couldn't descend either. As for Robin, she could only wish him good luck and hope that she and others would come to rescue him later.

When they returned to their temporary residence with some people, they found that Felicity was still in a coma and the antidote was nowhere in sight. Just as Thea was about to go back and capture someone alive to interrogate, Leila slowly woke up.

"Who... tied me up, what's your purpose... I won't tell you anything..." Leila spoke intermittently as she tried to get up but failed after several attempts.

That's amazing! She's the first person besides me to wake up on her own. Does that mean the poison can be cured on its own, without an antidote? Did she wake up because of agent training? She drank coffee and anesthetics every day, which raised her drug resistance to an inhuman level. How did she wake up? Is it relying on strong willpower and abundant physical strength?

Thea wasn't sure, but she still grabbed Leila's shoulders and said, "Look closely, I'm Thea Queen. We met two days ago. You were attacked by poisonous gas. This is the temporary room I found for you."

I don't know if Leila heard clearly, but I could see her adjusting her focus, trying to see clearly the face of the person in front of her.

It would be easy if she woke up, but I was afraid she wouldn't wake up. Thea didn't have any medicine on hand, and even if she did, she wouldn't dare use it carelessly. She could only use the old method, filling a basin with cold water and using a towel to wipe her face.

Maybe Thea had never taken care of anyone, or maybe Leila wasn't used to this passive approach. She weakly pushed Thea, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water basin.

I have to say, her movements are clean and organized, and she really has the demeanor of a female soldier. If it weren't for the wrong timing, Thea would have applauded her. This person exudes a heroic flavor, which is in stark contrast to the yellow-faced woman with a face full of dissatisfaction in middle age. Time is really a butcher's knife...

With a "splash," Leila suddenly lifted her head, wiped the water from her face, and looked fiercely at Thea. It took her a while to realize that the person in front of her didn't seem to be an enemy?

"Are you Thea? Where am I? Where are the others, my men?" Although she knew this person, she didn't know if there was a conspiracy there, so she remained vigilant enough, as if her whole body could launch an attack at any moment.

It seemed she hadn't heard what was said just now. Thea sighed and recounted the whole process. "Here's the thing. There are only a few people here right now. They're all bedridden. Only you and I are awake. When I pulled you back, I didn't see your men. Of course... I wouldn't recognize them even if I did."
