Chapter 593
When the strange crocodile cat and Batman and the other cats looked at each other, both sides were stunned for a moment, because they both felt the other side was very strange.
From the perspective of Batman's human aesthetics, the other side was very deformed, with a body posture between a cat and a crocodile. It was really hard to say that the combination of these two unrelated creatures looked good.
That crocodile cat opposite had raised crocodile-like armor from the top of his head to the base of his tail. The brow bones on his eyes were also protruding. His claws were larger than ordinary cats, and the structure was more like a crocodile. Moreover, his body size was larger than the cats living in this city, almost approaching a cheetah.
And in the eyes of the crocodile cat, the few cats opposite were even stranger. In this world, cats wore clothes, and the vast majority of cats had equipment. Even ordinary cats living in slums would have metal equipment and exoskeletons on their bodies.
In the crocodile cat's view, the few cats opposite him were completely naked and unarmed, without even a gun, which was strange to the extreme.
But after hesitating for a moment, the two sides didn't act immediately. Especially the crocodile cat, he appeared very cautious. He first retreated two steps, approached the shadow of the corner, then raised his tail, extended his claws, and expressed an unfriendly posture.
The few cats opposite didn't know how to understand cat behavior. Even Batman couldn't adapt to a cat's life in just a few hours. He was still looking at cats from a human perspective. He thought this posture of the crocodile cat was the prelude to an attack, so he planned to strike first.
Batman also moved slowly, his body walking into the shadow at the edge. The crocodile cat's pupils stared tightly at his figure. However, Batman hidden in the shadow was the nightmare of all opponents. The crocodile cat almost couldn't see his movement of rushing out at all, and was already slapped on the head with a claw.
Batman was not a cat good at fighting, at least, he didn't quite know how cats should fight. However, his learning ability was almost invincible. The moment he struck, he realized that felines were indeed natural hunters.
Speed, flexibility, agility, and lethality were all impeccable. The moment he realized this, Batman, like a real feline killer, first lunged forward, bit the crocodile cat's ear, and then followed with another claw, scratching the front paw the crocodile cat had brought out.
Immediately after, he raised both claws and jumped forward. Sharp claws pressed on the crocodile cat's abdomen. At the same time, he flicked his tail, turned his body direction, and bit the crocodile cat's neck.
The crocodile cat let out a scream, but the expected pain and death didn't come. Batman didn't bite down hard, just used his sharp teeth to restrain the crocodile cat's actions. But at this time, Clark rushed over and said: "Hey! Don't do this! We can't kill kittens..."
Batman loosened his mouth, but his claws were still pressed on the crocodile cat's abdomen. He looked into the crocodile cat's eyes with his pupils. He saw a very human-like expression of fear on the crocodile cat's face, and then, he turned over, exposing his belly, indicating a posture of submission.
The body size of this crocodile cat was much larger than Batman and the others, but it wasn't as flexible. Or rather, the crocodile mutation imposed on the cat actually weakened the feline's lethality. Not to mention anything else, his front paws weren't as flexible as Batman's, but were more like a crocodile's.
"Who are you? Why do you appear here?" Batman asked.
"I should be the one asking you that." The crocodile cat lying on the ground said somewhat unclearly. Although he made a "meow meow" sound, the few cats could understand what he said.
"How could you appear here? How could you come to Cat Getan's sewer?" The crocodile cat scanned the few strange cats with his eyes. Batman said: "We are from out of town, wanting to come here to find someone."
"Out of town?" The crocodile cat blinked his eyes, sized them up, and said: "You wouldn't be from the Big Apple City next door, would you? Especially you..." The crocodile cat looked at Clark and said: "I smelled that apple scent on you."
Clark extended his paws to sniff without knowing why, but didn't feel any scent on himself at all. Constantine frowned and said: "Stop mentioning scents, it's simply too smelly here. Let's quickly find a drier place, otherwise I'll be moldy soon..."
Batman dropped his gaze onto the crocodile cat's face again. The crocodile cat bared his teeth and said helplessly: "I'm just a stray cat. You've also seen it. Because of my appearance, I can't live on the surface, so I can only stay here."
"Does that murder case that happened at the bank entrance earlier have anything to do with you?" Batman narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Hearing about the murder case, the crocodile cat was obviously stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said: "Although I haven't been to the surface for a while, I know that it's Batman cat's territory up there. Murder case? Impossible. No cat can commit a crime in this city."
"Batman cat?" Batman's eyes narrowed into a slit. Victor, who was more familiar with him, understood that Batman's vigilance had been raised to the highest level.
"It seems you are not only from out of town, but probably also from outer space. You actually don't know Batman cat?! He is the richest cat in the world!"
"Moreover, he rules the entire Cat Getan. Haven't you seen it? There are his cameras everywhere?"
Batman thought for a moment. He slowly retracted his claws and no longer restrained the crocodile cat. The crocodile cat turned over and climbed up from the ground. Batman paced in front of him and said: "Talk in detail about Batman cat."
"What else could there be?" The crocodile cat lowered his head to lick the wound on his front paw and said: "A cat who is the richest in the world, sparing no expense to turn this city into the safest city, sparing no cost to eliminate all criminals..."
"About 4 years ago... or 5 years ago? When I came to Cat Getan, this was still the most chaotic city in the world. But later, Batman cat, who returned from traveling the world, began his career as the Emperor of Cat Getan."
"He first spent a lot of money to become the Mayor of Cat Getan, then bought off the councilors, passed one bill after another, and gradually turned Cat Getan into a city with a strong mayor system."
"He invested a lot of financial resources in scientific research, making Cat Getan's infrastructure lead all cities by a large margin. The citizens tasted the sweetness. They felt that Cat Getan was about to surpass Big Apple City and become the most advanced and developed city."
"Therefore, when Batman cat began to constantly acquire land to renovate buildings and distribute the renovated buildings to citizens for free, everyone praised him as an unprecedented sage..."
"That's right, this sounds simply like a selfless god, spending his own money to renovate all buildings, creating the most advanced residences, and giving these houses to all residents for free..."
"Initially, all cats thought this was a good thing, thinking he was a son of god who brought the gospel to the Cat Getan cat group..."
"But later, more and more cameras, more and more automatic weapons, all the technological equipment in this city obeyed Batman cat's orders. If there was no permission from him, vehicles couldn't start, and spaceships couldn't take off..."
"Every street, every corner, was full of cameras and automatic weapons. It wasn't that no cats protested. They said Batman cat infringed on the citizens' right to privacy, but clearly, Batman cat's determination was greater than any cat's."
"Later, all of this began to become more and more excessive. All the buildings in this city were replaced by steel cages by him, and even furniture, food, and water sources were controlled by him. If Batman cat didn't agree, you couldn't even open your own front door..."
"This fundamentally eliminated thieves." Clark touched his cheek and said: "If you can't even open your own refrigerator to get a piece of fried fish tail, then thieves definitely can't either, right?"
"Hmph..." The crocodile cat snorted coldly and said: "Yeah, if you want to open your refrigerator to get a piece of fried fish tail, you will immediately receive a call warning you that this kind of food is unhealthy and you have to eat cat strips produced by Batman cat."
The crocodile cat walked back and forth, flicking his tail, occasionally scratching the ground with his claws, appearing a bit restless. He said: "Batman cat says this is paying for the safety of this city, but do we really need this kind of safety?"
"However, there are indeed no criminals in this city, aren't there?" Batman asked.
"Is that so? Then how did you get here? And why did I meet you here?"
