Chapter 158
Barbara Gordon first checked the squad's member information.
Benjamin Turner, codenamed Bronze Tiger, is a top Martial Arts Master and a world-renowned mercenary. After being captured and imprisoned in Dream Prison, he became a member of the Suicide Squad.
George Harkness, codenamed Captain Boomerang, possesses top-notch fighting skills and superb Boomerang throwing techniques. He was captured during another diamond robbery and imprisoned in Dream Prison, where he became a member of the Suicide Squad.
Erik Needham, codenamed Black Spider, is a skilled fighter and sharpshooter who was originally a professional assassin.
Mark Desmond, codenamed Bomb, was originally a chemist who developed a potion to enhance his physical strength. This potion gave him superhuman strength and endurance, but also damaged his intelligence, turning him into a simple-minded strongman.
Louise Lincoln, codenamed Killer Frost, can Control Ice and Heat Absorption. After being captured several times for using her abilities to create chaos, she joined the Suicide Squad.
Pamela Lillian Aisley, codenamed Poison Ivy, was originally a shy college student who loved plants. She was chosen by botanist Jason Wood as a test subject and injected with plant toxins. She survived the ordeal, and almost all of her blood turned into chlorophyll. She also gained the ability to control plants and secrete hormones to control others. She is an extreme environmentalist.
Barbara Gordon remained outwardly calm after seeing the team members, but inwardly she was extremely shocked.
Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Black Spider, and even Heavy Bomb are all fine. No matter how strong their fighting ability, shooting ability, physical fitness, etc. are, they are still within the range of 'ordinary people'.
But Killer Frost and Poison Ivy have transcended the realm of ordinary people; they are true Superman with superpowers!
Poison Ivy, in particular, was born and raised in Gotham, yet I had never heard of her.
What does this tell us?
This demonstrates that Amanda Waller's intelligence network is extremely powerful, not only being able to learn about Poison Ivy's information and abilities immediately, but also being able to quickly block related information afterward.
After the initial surprise, Barbara Gordon felt even more confident about the operation.
After a brief moment of thought, the action plan was immediately put into action.
"Poison Ivy, use your plants to scout out the amusement park, especially James Gordon's location."
"Black Spider, Bronze Tiger, you two sneak into the amusement park, but be careful not to get spotted by the Joker."
"The rest of you stay put and be ready at any time."
"Who are you?" Black Spider asked in the team channel.
Barbara Gordon said, "The Oracle, the commander of this operation."
"Oracle? Never heard of it! Amanda Waller, are you sure you want this guy in command? He's just a crazy Joker. If you ask me, we should just charge in. With so many of us, surely we can rescue a police chief?"
Black Spider's dismissive attitude actually reflects the attitude of the other members of the team.
To them, the Joker was just a crazy, pretentious Joker with no real skills, and there was no need to make such a fuss.
Even Poison Ivy, who was born and raised in Gotham, didn't take the Joker seriously. After all, before becoming Poison Ivy, she was a good student. She was captured not long after becoming Poison Ivy, and she wasn't interested in anything except plants.
Amanda Waller did not respond to Black Spider, but looked at Barbara Gordon with an air of detachment.
Barbara Gordon curled her lip inwardly and said directly, "Black Spider, this is the first and last warning. I want you and all of you to understand that I am the commander of this mission. There is only one thing you need to do: obey orders."
"Otherwise—how did you know the result?"
Members of the Suicide Squad are implanted with Bomb Chip when they are selected.
Forced demolition, explosion!
Disobeying orders? Explosion!
Run! Explosion!
In short, once they join the Suicide Squad, their lives are no longer in their own hands, but are decided by the remote control in Amanda Waller's hands.
With just a light press, the Bomb Chip is activated.
Whether you are Martial Arts Master, a sharpshooter, or even Superman with superpowers, the result is the same.
Bang!
His head exploded!
All beings are equal, except for Amanda Waller who is high above!
Black Spider scoffed softly, unwilling yet forced to comply, and quickly slithered towards the abandoned amusement park.
Bronze Tiger was also involved in the operation.
Meanwhile, Poison Ivy had figured out what was going on in the abandoned amusement park by looking at the underground plants.
There were only two people in the entire abandoned amusement park: James Gordon, who had been kidnapped, and the Joker who had kidnapped him.
Poison Ivy relayed the message to Barbara Gordon, Barbara Gordon then ordered them to remain hidden and await her command.
Five minutes later, Black Spider and Bronze Tiger reported back that they had successfully infiltrated the abandoned amusement park and reached the vicinity of the circus tent where the Joker and James were located, so they could rush in to rescue the hostages and kill the target.
Barbara Gordon's answer was concise and to the point: just one word, wait!
The members of the Suicide Squad were somewhat resentful. They said, "We can wait, but you have to tell us what we're waiting for!"
They were all arrogant and unruly individuals, and they had no choice but to submit to Amanda Waller's command, whether they liked it or not.
But this Oracle was clearly a new addition or someone temporarily recruited, since Amanda Waller's people don't give themselves code names when they're in command.
In other words, this Oracle might also be a criminal!
We're all criminals, so why should we take risks while you can direct us from behind the scenes?
Even if he's not a criminal, this guy has no right to command them, much less to control their lives.
When it comes to one's own life, who would willingly entrust the decision to a stranger, someone whose background is unknown?
It was still Black Spider. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly heard the roar of a motorcycle coming from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a strangely dressed woman rushed in, almost lying on top of a uniquely shaped motorcycle with huge tires, laughing the Batman Who Laughs.
"Call out--"
The motorcycle leaped high into the air, and its two huge tires mysteriously reversed direction, causing the motorcycle to come to a stop sideways after landing.
"This feels amazing!"
Harley Quinn patted the Bat-cycle with a grin, hopped off with her long legs, and casually picked up a long gun that was on the motorcycle!
The motorcycle was temporarily lent to her, but the long gun was a gift to her. It was said to be made of Vibranium from Wakanda, not only priceless but also extremely powerful, almost impossible to destroy!
"Joker, Joker, I know you're in there! Come out now, I'm coming to kill you!"
Harley Quinn, carrying a gun, swaggered toward the circus tent.
"Who is this girl? Should we take her out?" Bronze Tiger asked in the Suicide Squad's channel.
"Her name is Harley Quinn. She was originally a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, and also the Joker's attending physician. She's here to kill the Joker, but we can't rule out other motives. Let's ignore her for now and keep waiting!"
Barbara Gordon's command rang out on the call channel.
"Are you still waiting?"
"What are we waiting for?!"
The Black Spider couldn't hold back any longer.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a person flew out of the circus tent.
Harley Quinn gracefully jumped aside, dodging the attack.
"Bang!"
A naked man fell heavily to the ground.
"Now!"
"Bronze Tiger, Black Spider, take James Gordon away immediately. The rest of you, quickly provide backup and carry out the new mission: capture Harley Quinn and kill the Joker!"
After Barbara Gordon finished speaking, she glanced at Amanda Waller out of the corner of her eye; Amanda Waller still had that calm, indifferent expression.
"Is that James Gordon?" Black Spider glanced disdainfully at the bald man, wondering who had thrown him out.
Joker?
Or someone else?
Despite his disdain, the mission still had to be carried out. Black Spider ran towards James Gordon, preparing to lead him away.
Just then, a strange man's voice suddenly came from the direction of the circus tent behind them.
"Get out of the way! It's going to explode!"
As soon as the sound faded, a deafening roar erupted, and towering flames instantly engulfed the circus tent. A massive wave of heat and intense fire swept rapidly outwards.
The other members of the Suicide Squad who rushed to provide support were instantly stopped by the heat wave.
"Whoosh!"
The Killer Frost raised his hands, a chilling aura emanating from them, and in an instant, a thick wall of ice appeared before them.
With two loud bangs, the Black Spider and Bronze Tiger, which had been thrown into the air, crashed into the ice wall!
"No!"
"Quickly, go save James Gordon!"
Barbara Gordon anxiously issued new orders.
The circus had been razed to the ground by the explosion, and the surrounding area was filled with smoke and chaos.
"Cough—cough cough—" A figure stood up from the ruins.
