Chapter 837 The Children's Struggle (Part 2)
Jason left the Blue Jackets' headquarters building with a nervous mood. He did not take action because now he had more important things to do.
As he expected, the gangsters were not stupid either. Some people saw that this was a trap. Although they may not be as far-reaching as they thought, they did not want their influence to be weakened.
Jason knew that he had more important things to do now than killing people. He had to ensure that the transformation project could continue.
For the upper echelons of the gang, this may reduce their influence and make their lives worse, but for these children, as long as the building can be built, life will definitely improve, and at least they will have jobs in the future. It won’t rain anymore and the chance of getting sick will be reduced.
It’s not like Jason didn’t think about it. He rushed in and asked for the location of the bomb, but this was actually more difficult than killing. Killing only took a few seconds, but if he asked, he would probably make a sound and be discovered by other members. He I can't leave anymore.
From what he overheard, he heard a more important message: Wayne Group has ways to ensure that everyone lives in a suitable house.
Although Jason didn't know what this method was, he knew that since Bruce Wayne dared to say this, he would definitely be able to do it. Batman is not a person who likes to exaggerate.
In this case, it meant that all the children could have a room, and Jason was willing to do anything to achieve this goal.
He hurried back to the base, then called all the children over and said to them: "Go quickly! Call the other children's gangs and ask their boss to come here. I have something to say to them." explain!"
All the children didn't know why, but in the past few days, Jason's actions made them more convinced that they were not driven out by the gang, but returned to their homes. The gang members fell apart and everyone dangerous, but they are still alive and well.
Therefore, the children trusted Jason very much and did not ask any questions. They all ran out. After a while, the sleepy-eyed children's gang boss came here. One of them rubbed his eyes and said, "Jason, you If you can’t talk about anything tomorrow morning, why are you in a hurry?”
"I'm really anxious. I want to tell you two news..."
"The first news is good news. According to reliable intelligence, the Wayne Group has a way to let everyone live in the houses they are assigned. The gang cannot interfere with us."
In an instant, the children below were in a panic. Some people asked: "What? How is it possible?! How could he do this? Does he want to start a war with the gangs?!"
"Even if there are no small gangs, there are still big gangs, even if there are no big gangs and there are twelve families, how can he attack all the gangs?!"
"How can he let us move in? What if the gangsters force us with guns? We can't beat them?!"
"Is this really reliable? Jason?" One of the kid kings said, "I know you don't like to lie, but this is really outrageous!"
"I'm not sure, but if it's possible..." Jason didn't finish his words, but the whole place fell silent.
Jason saw a light emerging from their eyes, which was particularly bright in the dim room.
Perhaps, it's not that these children have no hope for the world, but they have been disappointed too many times, but even so, after hearing such news, they still couldn't help but dream.
A warm, rain-proof house, a soft bed, and windows that let in sunlight. No child can refuse such a dream.
"There's another piece of news, it's bad news..." Jason's tone dropped, and he said, "The gangsters on Elizabeth Street did not want this project to continue, so they planted bombs near the foundation."
"As long as the bomb is detonated, the foundation will be destroyed. Once the workers are killed, the Wayne Group will have to pay compensation. The lawsuit surrounding this matter will last for several years, and the gangsters can use this time. Let the Wayne family By sitting down and talking, they can regain the initiative and let the Wayne family leave the arrangement of the property to them... ·
"And once they get power again, no one will care about us."
As soon as Jason finished speaking, he saw light emerging from the eyes of all the children again, but compared with the previous light, this time the light was full of murderous intent and had even been dyed blood red.
Even teenagers understand the truth that as long as there is any possibility to get the life they dream of, they are willing to pay any price.
"Where is the bomb?" asked one of the children. She said: "I have more than 30 people under me. As long as it is within the scope of these three streets, there is nothing they can't dig. No matter where the bomb is hidden, we can find it." Dig it out!"
"That's right, the little bastards in my gang have drilled through all the dog holes here. There is no way they could detonate a bomb under our noses..."
"We didn't pay attention before, but it's impossible for them to escape our eyes..."
Several kid kings looked at each other and saw the confidence in their eyes. They were right. If the gangsters are the local snakes here, then the kid gangs are the insects here.
There are still places that snakes cannot reach, but there is no place that ants, bees, and moths have not visited. These children can survive in the streets and alleys by relying on nooks and corners and hidden tunnels.
They touched every inch of the place, just to expand an inch of space for their own survival.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, this has become their weapon. It is impossible for gang members from other streets to be more familiar with this place than them.
As young voices sounded, thin figures emerged from the ground one by one, like the tips of bamboo shoots emerging from the ground after the first spring rain. They turned into streams of light and touched every corner of the streets and alleys.
Whispering, whispering, coming and going, in all directions...
In this sleepless night, Jason didn't feel angry and helpless for the first time, and all the child kings felt a strange excitement. They had never been so united as they were today.
Perhaps in the future, they will still become gang bosses in various regions, but they will eventually understand that the excitement in their hearts today comes from the freedom to decide their own destiny, from the rebellion of resistance, and from being like-minded and achieving common goals Ideal friendship.
Clusters of small sparks were ignited, and when they were blown into the cold night by Gotham's night wind, whether society would condense into a larger flame or just extinguish it, Jason didn't know. He only knew that this night The thrilling experience he will remember forever.
Within two hours, several children came over to report. Some said the soil in the corner had been dug up, some said there were strange lights next to the construction site, and some said they had seen strangers recently...
After checking one by one, we finally identified three problematic locations, basically all next to the construction site.
The first is that there are strange ruts in the mud next to it, which don't seem to be left by nearby cars.
The memory of these children has reached such a level that they know exactly what the tire tracks of the nearby residents and gangsters' cars look like. This is how they make a living at the bottom of Gotham.
Another person dug up bullet casings not far from the construction site. It didn't look like the guns used by the small gangs here, but rather like the guns of the big gangs.
The third thing is that there is often a strange black shadow on the roof of a building near the construction site, as if someone is staring at the construction site.
The children were divided into three groups to check out these three different locations. Jason went to the most dangerous location, which was the filter on the roof of the building near the construction site. It was possible to hit the enemy head-on, while the other two There are just clues everywhere.
Jason arrived at the building with ease. Jason didn't find any suspicious figures here, so he walked into the door of the rooftop and waited behind the door of the rooftop to see who was here.
As the night went on, Jason heard the wind blowing outside the door. It seemed like there were two footsteps falling on the ground. Jason looked out along the crack of the door, and then saw two people, one tall and one short. A dark shadow.
Looking at it, Jason felt that these two figures were a bit familiar, especially the tall black figure on the right. Isn't this Batman?
Jason pushed the door open and walked out. Dick beside Batman turned his head warily, but Batman did not move. Instead, he turned slightly to look at him and said, "Jason, why are you here now?"
"I've been waiting here for a long time." Jason stepped forward, stood next to Batman, and looked down. From this angle, he could see children running around on various streets. Everyone was looking for these things.
"You wouldn't allow someone to plant a bomb next to your construction site, would you? You wouldn't give them that chance, Batman." Jason started, but then he asked, "Then why don't you just put the whole Protect the construction site?”
Batman shook his head and said, "You'll protect it, won't you?"
Batman looked at the shining lights on the construction site and said: "Someone told me, don't pity them, don't give everything to them like God, but let them fight for and defend themselves."
Jason stood on the edge of the roof and said: "Now, they have learned this. Once they start dreaming, they will never go back to the numb life before."
"Once they start to imagine the good life they should have, they will never allow anyone to destroy it, and they will never be able to tolerate that kind of exploitation..."
Dick next to him was a little confused. He didn't understand what Batman was talking to Jason. He wanted to talk, but he didn't know where to start. After Jason left, he asked Batman: "What are you talking about? "
"We were talking about the book we just read," Batman replied.
"The book you just read?" Dick frowned and said in confusion, "What did you read and what was written in it?"
Batman turned to look at Dick, his eyes filled with tenderness that he didn't realize he had.
As the children near the construction site cheered for finding the bomb, a low voice floated in the night sky of Gotham. With a hint of coldness that does not belong to this season.
"There is a story written in the book, a shocking story that happened in the heavy snow..."
"If you really want to hear it, just ask Alfred."
