Chapter 597: Who is the Bat and Who is the Cat (Part 2)

Batman walked slowly forward along the dark sewer.

Before leaving the sewer, he had to do reconnaissance. Just as he said before, it was almost impossible for Batman cat to set up a monitoring network that covered the entire Gotham City without any dead angles.

If Batman were given ten or twenty years, it might be a bit possible. But according to the crocodile-cat, Batman had only come to Gotham for four or five years. Just renovating the city had taken up more than half of the time, so the current monitoring network must still have many loopholes.

By observing the surrounding environment from under the manhole cover, Batman gradually drew a patrol route map of the cameras in his heart.

After initially completing this map, he discovered that there was a small loophole in this patrol route.

If viewed from the ground situation, this patrol route was very perfect, almost without any loopholes to drill. But it just so happened that there was a group of cameras that didn't have a good inspection of the ground, or the ground near the manhole cover, during a certain period.

This was very interesting. Batman was clear that this couldn't be counted as a loophole, because if it were him, he would also value the monitoring of surface building rooftops and terraces more, and ignore the ground parts that weren't eye-catching. Comparing the two, of course, the high point was more important. After all, the high point had always been an important position in all strategies.

However, this just happened to be a gap left for Batman, allowing him to safely transfer to the surface during this gap without being discovered.

And what was even more coincidental was that this patrol route loophole also happened to appear late at night, allowing Batman to use his fur color and the camouflage of the sky to safely transfer to the surface.

Batman felt that all of this was too coincidental, as if someone had intentionally guided him to do so.

However, there was no time for him to hesitate. All his activities on the surface had to be a race against time, watching every gap in the camera switching route, in order to head to his desired destination.

And what was quite coincidental was that the bank where the incident occurred wasn't far from the sewer entrance where Batman came to the surface, separated by no more than two blocks. As long as he was a little careful, he wouldn't be discovered.

At this time, Batman discovered that the cat was indeed a natural hunter, and its hearing was very sensitive. With a little movement, it could react immediately.

This sensitive hearing helped Batman avoid many dangers until he arrived at the bank that was the crime scene during the day.

At this time, a scent entered Batman's nose. A keen sense of smell was also one of the major characteristics of felines. Batman certainly knew this, but his human brain didn't allow him to judge what this scent was.

It could only be said that it smelled a bit stinky and very strange. The things analyzed by the cat's olfactory nerves didn't match the knowledge already in Batman's mind, but he remembered this strange scent. If it appeared next time, he would be able to remember it.

After checking the road surface where the corpse was located at that time, Batman hid in the shadow beside the bank and began to think about how to enter the bank's interior.

This wasn't easy, because every door and window of the bank was under the control of Batman cat, and they were all closed at this time. To get in, he had to destroy the doors and windows.

And destroying the doors and windows would be discovered by Batman cat. With his current equipment level, he didn't think he could beat all the equipment in this entire city.

Batman wanted to know how Batman cat achieved control, so he intended to test it.

He targeted the lock of one of the windows and intended to destroy it. However, he couldn't do it just by relying on claws and sharp teeth. So, he intentionally exposed his tracks, letting an automatic turret at the corner of another building discover his position.

Then, he used his movement to lead that automatic turret to strike that window lock. Under the pouring bullets of the automatic turret, the window lock was instantly shattered, and even the glass was broken.

The building issued a violent alarm, but Batman didn't enter the building's interior. He originally wanted to see how long Batman cat's reaction time was and in what way he would come here, and then decide his own action route.

Thus, he took advantage of the cameras and automatic weapons not paying attention, jumped to the top of another building, lay down his body, let his tail also stick tightly to the ground, and then stared at that direction with his eyes.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Batman cat, but waited for a cat that Batman was a bit familiar with. That was the white cat wearing police equipment that he had seen near the crime scene during the day.

That white cat led quite a few police cats to survey the scene. Suddenly, he started to stick his nose close to the ground and kept sniffing the scent. Batman on the roof felt a trace of nervousness.

He had been a human for so many years and the opponents he dealt with were all humans. He forgot that a cat's actions would leave a scent, and it would be keenly captured by other peers. He couldn't understand these scents, which didn't mean these cats couldn't.

Soon, that white cat followed the scent to the building where Batman was. He looked up. Batman confirmed that this white cat saw him. Just when he arched his body and exerted force, intending to escape, that white cat suddenly lowered his head again, pretending that nothing had happened, flicked his tail, and left.

Batman breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he began to wonder: why didn't this police cat ignore him? Could it be that he had mistaken him for Batman cat?

But that wasn't right either. Cats didn't just recognize cats by their appearance. Looking at this white cat's appearance, he should be an important officer in the police station. He couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with Batman cat's scent. Batman's scent and Batman cat's scent were different. He shouldn't have recognized it wrong.

However, that white police cat not only didn't arrest Batman, but instead took his subordinates to the police car and prepared to leave.

Discovering that he didn't ignore him, Batman cat's courage became a bit bigger. He jumped down from the roof, came to a corner of a balcony, and then he heard the conversation coming from the police car.

"Boss, are we really okay not dealing with that window? And I just seemed to smell a strange scent. Shouldn't we pursue it again?"

"No need. Didn't you notice that Batman cat didn't even come over? To change the lock for the window and remake the glass, we definitely have to go find him. Didn't you notice he's been very busy lately?"

Batman keenly felt that the white cat raised his voice a bit and said: "Just now, I called him, and his smart butler told me that he went out, and he left in a hurry, not even bringing his communication device. Maybe there's some emergency. We'd better not disturb him."

After speaking, the police car drove away. The light flashed by the police lights shone on Batman's face. One could clearly see his narrowed eyes and that suspicious expression.

The police cat who had just left revealed an important piece of information, that is, Batman cat had just gone out in a hurry, not even bringing his communication equipment. This meant that Batman's destructive behavior, even if it was transmitted to Batman cat's base by these monitors, he might not be able to see it now. This was the perfect time for action.

Thus, Batman didn't hesitate anymore, his figure scurried out nimbly, and in two or three steps, he arrived in front of that broken window, and then walked into the interior of the bank building.

In the sewer base, Victor was discussing freeze technology with Freeze cat, and he asked about the details of the technology by asking from the side, but clearly Freeze cat didn't trust him and refused to reveal too much.

(Author's note: ahzww)

The two cats were testing each other with one sentence after another. But just at this moment, an alarm sounded in the base. The crocodile-cat ran in in a hurry and said: "Something happened on the surface! Several monitors we hid were destroyed. We have to go up and see what's going on!"

Clark flew in directly and said: "Go! I'll take you guys up. I can protect you from being hit by automatic weapons!"

In order not to expose their position, the few cats first moved to the vicinity of a manhole cover far from the base, and then came to the ground. But as soon as they jumped up, they discovered that the automatic weapons around them were attacking frantically, and there were several cats' figures shuttling through the rain of bullets.

"That's Bane cat!" Freeze cat recognized the cat leading the way and said: "Batman cat's old rival, a lunatic and criminal. Shouldn't he be locked in the Crazy Cat Asylum? How..."

"Oh no, that's Batman cat!" The crocodile-cat suddenly shouted. He saw the fully armed Batman cat chasing behind Bane and the other few cats. Batman cat was driving a hover saucer, and there were many weapons on the saucer, with very powerful firepower. At this moment, he was aiming at the few crazy cats who had escaped.

To deal with Batman cat, Freeze cat had no hesitation. He adjusted the weapon on his back, jumped up, and after coming to a high point, several ice cones flew out with a "whoosh," freezing the weapons on one side of Batman cat's saucer.

Taking advantage of this gap, Bane escaped from the firepower coverage range. He looked back and looked at Freeze cat, letting out a sharp cry. Clark understood the meaning, which was—"Kill Batman cat!"

Before Clark could persuade him, the weapon frozen by Batman cat thawed. The powerful weapon swept over, and a shell exploded directly beside Clark, singeing the fur of the crocodile-cat who was trying to dodge. Clark had no choice but to protect the few cats on his side first.

Clark flew up and then quickly flew toward Batman cat's saucer. With a "bang," the saucer was knocked flying.

Immediately after, the heat vision fired from his eyes destroyed the weapon on one side. The saucer swayed and crashed down. And before landing, Batman cat ejected from it. He controlled the flight exoskeleton like bat wings behind his back, looked at Clark floating in mid-air, and said angrily: "You damn rat!"

"You can't do this, Batman cat. It's wrong for you to lock up all the citizens. Others may not necessarily need your control. Even if you want to do good things, you can't use this method." Clark said righteously.

"Outsider, you are not qualified to instruct me on how to treat Gotham. Get back to your city. This place doesn't need you!" The wind brought by the steel wings behind Batman cat blew on the few cats, making their fur flutter constantly.

Batman cat snorted coldly, and the wings behind him changed rapidly. Many small weapons were assembled, and drones flew out from both sides of his shoulders, surrounding the few cats.

Crocodile-cat, Bane cat, Freeze cat, and the other few crazy cats who had escaped from the Crazy Cat Asylum stood back to back, arched their bodies, revealed sharp teeth, pressed their ears flat, and hissed at those weapons.

"Freeze cat, after you used ice cones to seal my weapons last time, I added low-temperature freezing resistance functions to them. Last time, I let you go just to fish out that guy who only knows how to laugh loudly. This time, you won't be so lucky."

Freeze cat looked grave. He manipulated the weapon behind his back and fired an ice cone. However, those drones just stalled for a moment, then emitted a vibrating buzzing sound, and the ice shattered in response.

Clark sighed and said: "It seems I must make you stop first, and then we can talk."

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Batman cat turned his gaze to Clark, and at that moment, what appeared in his field of vision was Superman cat's fist, which was the size of a sandbag. ===== CHAPTER 598 =====
