Chapter 55 Bruce

Rumble!
A block of the house collapsed in an instant, and a masked man with a rocket launcher on his shoulder was shouting loudly on a truck.

The ordinary residents around fled in all directions, and soon, accompanied by the sound of alarm bells, a police car with bright red and blue lights flashing came speeding over.

Soon, a gun battle between the police and the gangsters broke out directly on the street.

George hid behind the door of a police car with a grim look on his face, occasionally poking his head out to shoot.

"These damn lunatics!"

The old detective cursed angrily, and the next moment, his face changed drastically, and then he quickly left the police car beside him.

As a cluster of flames flickered, under the cover of night, a beam of fire rushed straight towards him. In the blink of an eye, there was a violent roar, and the vehicle he was originally in was instantly blown away by the flames.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of the explosion shook the entire block. The police officers who were using their vehicles for cover fell to the ground one after another. One of the closest officers was instantly swept up by the flames.

"Ah!"

There were screams mixed with curses. Compared to the police officers, the criminals cheered one by one.

Just as the situation was escalating, under the moonlight, a black figure was seen walking quickly through the streets, looking at a man standing on the eaves, holding a gun and with colorful graffiti on his face.

Without hesitation, he kicked the man hard.

boom!
The man groaned in pain as his body hit the vehicle. The movement behind him diverted the attention of the criminals.

"Batman?"

One of the men closest to him was about to pull out his gun and shoot, but the man in the black robe grabbed his wrist holding the gun and twisted it hard. With a scream of pain, Bruce kicked the man hard and sent him flying.

He crashed directly into his companions who were about to come to help from behind.

The next moment, he took a big step, swung his hands, and ran quickly towards the street on one side. Gunshots rang out one after another, and bullets fired from all directions flew past, but the man cleverly avoided them all.

A hand stretched out the obstacle, twisted rapidly, and the bat dart flashing with crystal luster instantly hit a man's chest.

"what!"

The man let out a scream and fell to the ground. His partner beside him quickly pulled the dart out of his shoulder.

Looking at the dart that was still buzzing, no one was surprised. Batman's high-tech equipment had long been famous in the Gotham underworld!

"Fuck!"

The man who was carrying the rocket turned his body instantly, and his companions behind him quickly loaded the rocket launcher with bullets. As the loading was successful, a sinister smile appeared on the man's face.

However, the next moment, a silver light flashed, and a vibrating dart instantly pierced his arm holding the rocket.

"Ah, damn!"

The rocket launcher fell to the ground, and the man covered his arm with a pale face and jumped off the truck.

Because the criminals' attention was attracted, the police officers on the other side who had been suppressed by firepower all leaned forward to shoot, and in a short period of time, the originally arrogant criminals dared not show their heads.

At the same time, because of the reversal of the situation, the criminals finally began to panic. Realizing the weakening of firepower, Bruce jumped out from behind the bunker and quickly came to a criminal who was loading bullets.

He kicked him in the abdomen with a casual kick, causing him to bend, and then he punched him with a fierce uppercut, sending the man flying straight into the air.

As he fell to the ground, the criminal fainted instantly. The panicked crowd on the side quickly opened fire, but Bruce climbed up the rock wall at a very fast speed, then jumped down, dodging the bullets one by one, and kicked a criminal on the truck to the ground. At this moment, facing the three criminals at close range, he punched quickly, with a swift and fierce punching technique, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked the three burly men to the ground.

boom!
A powerful punch landed on the chest of the man who tried to shoot.

puff!

Spat out a mouthful of blood, the bald man's body slammed heavily into the truck, and the entire door was instantly dented. He looked at Bruce who was punching him with horror.

However, the fist just grazed his earlobe and hit the vehicle next to him heavily.

The loud roar shook his eardrums, and he subconsciously squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

Whoohoo!
Bruce's chest was heaving violently, with a trace of bloodshot in his eyes. He ignored the criminal who had collapsed on the ground with fright, and quickly moved between the vehicles.

Wherever he went, people and horses were thrown to the ground, and no criminal was a match for him.

Just as he was crossing a car, a baseball bat suddenly came from the side and hit Bruce hard on the head.

Under the strong feeling of dizziness, Bruce's body fell slightly to one side. The criminal, seizing the opportunity, quickly stood up, took out the dagger in his arms, and stabbed Bruce fiercely.

However, the next moment, before the joy on the man's face faded, a pair of strong hands grabbed his wrist holding the dagger.

Click!

Along with the sound of bones breaking, the man let out a howl of pain, but the next moment, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and the next moment, accompanied by severe pain, he fainted instantly and fell to the ground.

Bruce slowly retracted his knees and quickly dodged to the side of the vehicle, as bullets pierced through his body.

His chest was rising and falling violently, and he didn't seem to be in a particularly good condition at the moment.

On the other side, because the criminals were completely thrown into disarray, the police officers who were pursuing them walked out of their shelters and began rushing towards the criminals' convoy.

Soon, accompanied by the police officers' shouting and cursing, the criminals were pinned to the ground one by one.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the masked man looked hatefully at Batman who had just rushed into the alley.

Then, they quickly shot at the police officers amid a burst of gunfire.

His body fell heavily to the ground.

Soon, George came in front of him and looked at the raccoon mask. His face sank slightly. He slowly took off the mask, revealing a face that was burned beyond recognition by flames.

"Damn it! It's the Mask Society again!"

The elderly detective cursed hatefully, while George's face was extremely gloomy. He looked at the alleys deep in the street, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

At this moment, Bruce, who was running quickly through the alley, fell to the ground in an instant, and the blood on his head dripped slowly down his cheeks to the ground.

His old injuries had not yet healed, and he finally couldn't hold on and staggered to the ground. He slowly took off his special bat suit and stuffed it into the trash can beside him. Bruce leaned against the wall exhausted.

His mind became more and more confused until he heard the faint sound of footsteps and finally fell into a coma.

　I wish you all a new year and a new beginning in 2024!!

　　All the best and good health!
