Police Station Explosion (Please Bookmark! Please Follow!)

Bai Lang's abandoned factory training ground.

Inside one of the abandoned warehouses.

"What did you say? Mark at the police station was killed by Batman, and even the Red Rose Gang we had just established contact with was wiped out by him?"

A man covered in bulging muscles, abnormally powerfully built, sat in a chair with his brows tightly furrowed.

He wore a breathing mask over his face and a specially made black combat suit.

A large venom tank was mounted on his back, connected to the mask by tubes.

Splinter looked at Bane, who radiated a savage aura, and nodded. "That's right. Batman killed them!"

"Batman! You ruined our plan. I swear I'll kill you!"

His plan to rule Gotham had been destroyed by Batman before it had even begun, and Bane was beside himself with rage.

"Boss Bane, this is the information we've recently gathered on Batman."

Splinter took out a stack of freshly printed documents and placed it before Bane.

Bane quickly picked up the documents and began reading.

They showed the physical capabilities they had recently gathered on Batman, Bruce Wayne.

Strength, speed, and endurance that were nearly at the limits of human potential.

Bane's eyes were full of disdain. If that was all the other man had, then he was no match for him at all.

After all, he was a man capable of lifting a ten-ton car outright.

Not to mention that he had so many subordinates. As long as the police were tied down, he could handle Batman with one hand.

"Not only that, but the police station seems furious that we killed one of their detectives. They've sent a lot of police officers to investigate us."

While Bane reviewed the documents, Splinter gave him this reminder.

Bane's gaze turned icy, and he snorted.

"Hmph! Then we'll blow the police station to pieces!"

Early the next morning, Bai Lang arrived at the police station. He planned to go to the archives room and print out and organize the case files he had looked through yesterday.

The case appeared to be a simple robbery, but after taking the money and valuables, the robbers had also killed someone.

However, Detective Ant had suddenly died in the line of duty while investigating the case, which caused Director Gordon to attach great importance to it.

He had even declared that whoever found the culprit in this case could take Detective Ant's position.

As a result, all the police officers in the station became fired up and began investigating the case.

Four burly police officers were already crammed into the small archives room.

Besides Bai Lang, there were two Black officers and one white police officer reviewing the files.

Bai Lang stood behind them, waiting for them to finish with the files so he could print himself a copy.

But after waiting for nearly an hour, he still saw no sign of the three men ending their discussion.

"Hey, guys, when are you going to be done? I've been waiting for an hour."

Bai Lang walked over impatiently, but one of the Black officers turned around and cursed at him directly.

"Fuck you! We were here first. Stand in the back and wait properly!"

The two white police officers beside him wore mocking smiles as they looked at Bai Lang.

"You want to crack this case too, right? But we've already found enough evidence. We're working out a plan now. Once we catch the killer, the case will be solved."

The Black officer looked at Bai Lang teasingly and said with contempt.

"I'd advise you to give up that idea. Detective Ant's position is definitely going to be mine, Aude Biao's."

Bai Lang wanted to say something, but the few of them turned around and resumed their discussion.

Before he could step forward, a strange sound reached his ears.

"Tick... tick..."

It sounded as though something was counting down.

He looked suspiciously at the clock beside him and listened closely.

That's not where it's coming from.

A sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in his heart.

Bai Lang turned around, held his breath, and carefully listened for the strange ticking sound he had heard just now.

It did not sound like dripping water, nor was it like the ticking of a clock. It was as though something was counting down.

He moved slowly out of the archives room and into the hallway.

Although the hallway was much noisier, the sound instantly became far clearer to Bai Lang.

At the same time, a constant warning of danger lingered in his mind. This was the Spider-Bat Sense granted by his biomimetic superpower.

At that moment, the feeling of danger kept needling Bai Lang's nerves.

He could clearly sense that something extremely dangerous seemed to be inside the police headquarters lobby.

Combined with that ticking sound, like a countdown timer, could this thing be a bomb?

No way—someone had actually planted a bomb in a police station?

Was this Gotham living up to its reputation or what?!

Bai Lang's expression changed at once, and he immediately ran toward the director's office.

Gordon was currently reviewing the files on the people Batman had killed earlier.

When he saw a tall, powerfully built Police Officer rush in, he set the files down.

"Police Officer Bai Lang, what is it?"

He had some impression of this tall, burly Asian Police Officer. The young man had a strong sense of justice.

Moreover, Deputy Detective Mark, whom Batman had killed a few days ago, had been Bai Lang's direct superior.

Gordon had seen Bai Lang argue with Mark several times over cases. He was promising material.

Listening to the bomb's countdown at the same time, Bai Lang quickly said, "Director Gordon, someone planted a bomb in the headquarters lobby!!"

Gordon did not believe him at first. Who would dare plant a bomb in police headquarters?

But seeing the serious look on Bai Lang's face, his heart skipped a beat.

Could someone really have planted a bomb in the police station?

His expression tightened as he hurriedly asked, "Where did you see it? How many minutes until it explodes? I'll send the bomb squad over!"

Just as Bai Lang was about to speak, a massive shockwave erupted from the police headquarters lobby, followed by a thunderous explosion.

His face changed drastically. Grabbing Gordon, who was still seated, he drove the Current Propulsion within his body to wildly stimulate every muscle cell.

With one fierce punch, he shattered the window, then leaped with Gordon from the fifth floor to the building across from them.

[Ability Points +3]

Only after the two reached safety did they turn to look back toward the police station.

Inside the grand building, room after room erupted in violent flames and explosions.

Some Detectives and Police Officers who reacted in time rushed toward the nearest exits, while the unlucky ones were killed by the powerful blasts immediately.

Rumble!!

The once grand and imposing Gotham Police Headquarters erupted in a massive explosion in an instant.

The deafening blast resounded throughout Gotham, and under the gaze of countless people, the police headquarters building came crashing down.

Bai Lang stared at the collapsed police headquarters, still shaken to the core.

"That was too dangerous."

If Current Propulsion had not enhanced his hearing to dozens of times that of an ordinary person, he probably would have been blown to pieces too!

"Thank you, Police Officer Bai Lang." Gordon looked at the police headquarters with lingering fear, valuing the young man who had saved his life even more.

He did not question Bai Lang's ability to leap from the police headquarters to another building.

After all, people possessed limitless potential when faced with life and death.

Bai Lang nodded without responding, watching helplessly as the building that had been intact moments ago was blown into ruins.

He followed Gordon to the ruins of the police headquarters, where scattered surviving police officers stood around.

Gordon flew into a rage, calling Detectives who were investigating cases outside and ordering them to return with their Police Officers. He also contacted the other precincts, determined to uncover the culprit behind this explosion!

Bodies pulled from the rubble littered the ground. Bai Lang even saw the Black Police Officer who had insulted him earlier.

The man had already been blown into pieces.

Looking around, Bai Lang saw densely scattered bodies of Police Officers killed in the blast—at least a hundred of them.

Most did not even have an intact body left. Flesh and blood covered the ground.

Among them were several Police Officers familiar to the original owner of this body. They had died in this explosion, in the gangsters' terrorist attack.

Bai Lang's heart pounded violently, and an indescribable ache rose within him.

The feeling was complicated. Even he could not explain what it was.

He looked at the police headquarters, now reduced to rubble amid scattered stones, at the chunks of corpses covering the ground, at the densely packed bodies lying motionless everywhere.

The sounds of crying around him kept assaulting his senses.

Bai Lang finally understood. It was anger, mixed with a trace of sorrow.
