Chapter 5033: ancestors and discoveries

Batman doesn't really like the sewers very much, unless an old friend escapes into it, he will go in to play while chasing.

In most cases, he is relatively laissez-faire with this area, because figures also need a safe area where they can discuss plans together, or secretly engage in some tricks.

It's like when playing the game of catching people, you will draw a safe 'home' for those who are fleeing. If the children escape into this range, you can no longer catch them. It is a reason.

In fact, if Batman's financial resources and manpower can be mobilized, he can install surveillance equipment that will not be discovered in all the sewers of Gotham City, but he did not do so, of course there is a reason.

It is his subjective reason, not restricted by any objective factors.

Today, he walked into the sewer project a hundred years ago, or to be more precise, the mine, and it was the first time he saw the original appearance of the sewer. This is basically a network of tunnels parallel to the ground, and it is not what he is looking for.

In name, the ancestors of the Wayne family contracted the sewer project in order to provide benefits to the people in the town, but in fact, they did so to steal the treasures of the dead Indians and enrich the pockets of the four major families.

But this was only the second layer of cover. Edmund used those belongings to hide the truth from the other three families, and at the same time carried out his own secret plan, which was to arrange the 'last smile'.

In his design, the Last Smile was a secret method used to perish with the British people who might come to the New World at any time, but in the end, under the secret transformation of each generation of Wayne Patriarchs, it became a terrible thing. The biochemical weapon was almost used by the Laughing Bat.

Not only Earth 0 has that system, but also the Laughing Dark Multi-Earth-1, the main world Earth 1 in the past, and Earth 16 today, and it is part of every Batman background story.

Of course, those are all digressions. At least today in history, Last Smile has just established a project and started digging. It is still just a big underground pit that no one knows.

And what Batman wants to use is in that pit. His plan is to sneak into the construction site at night, and then find Edmund, who is also secretly working alone, and negotiate a condition with him.

For his ancestor, Bruce knew something, but not much, only that he liked to keep a diary, write family memorabilia, and like to explore everywhere.

He is a skilled swordsman, a rainforest explorer, a legendary sailor, a physicist, a construction engineer, a chemist, and a big businessman in the spice business around the world.

Well, identities are a bit complicated, but the successive heads of the Wayne family have always been elites of their time.

The patriarch finally died at the age of 107 when he and his flagship disappeared in a snowstorm near the South Pole during a new adventure in an ocean voyage, when many believed in the great explorer Edmund Wayne There will be a return to Gotham Port one day, and legends will not die so easily.

But in fact, he never came back, so he should really be dead.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Batman, he just subconsciously conducted intelligence research and judgment beforehand, because for the two of them, each other is a stranger, so they should be careful when contacting each other.

Also be careful of Diana and Deadpool. Once one of them gets sick and accidentally hurts or kills Edmund, all the stories of Earth 16 in the future will be completely rewritten.

In fact, Wonder Woman would not do such a thing, she is not stupid, and Deadpool would not kill without benefit, he is a mercenary.

But the bat can't trust them, he can't trust anyone except Alfred, including himself.

The inside of the tunnel was pitch black, and the ground wasn't exactly smooth, but walking along the still-paved mine car track was still labor-saving, and Wade could even slip carefully on the track.

"Hey~ aha~"

He slid on the rails with casters like ice skating, with his hands behind his back, looking professional, but he was still thinking:

"How long do we have to go? The air quality in underground mines has always been a problem. We won't be poisoned by gas, right?"

"This is not a coal mine, where does the gas come from?" Diana replied speechlessly. She found that her boyfriend's cousin was really out of touch. She didn't think it before, but maybe he restrained himself when he was with his cousin?

"But I really smell a strange smell, yes, I know I have nasal cavity cancer, I usually can't smell anything, but if you smell it carefully, there is a faint smell in the air"

Wade said so, and he deliberately took a few steps away, so as not to affect the judgment of the two of them by his smell.

"The smell of kerosene." Batman answered. He didn't need Deadpool to escape, but he had already discovered it a long time ago: "Around 1850, the work of mining oil in the United States began. In this era, kerosene lamps are the main means of lighting."

In fact, when carrying out underground projects, using any fuel for lighting may cause the problem of lack of oxygen for personnel, but due to the constraints of the times, there is basically no other choice.

Solar emergency lights are of course good, not only safe but also environmentally friendly, but not in this era.

"Oh, as expected of Batman, he really knows everything." Wade blinked his eyes a few times, and then quickened his pace to keep up with the two of them. He scratched his buttocks and asked again: "I found that we are heading towards the area with the strongest smell of kerosene. Go ahead, there's something over there, isn't it?"

However, the Dark Knight just turned his head away and ignored him again.

There is no way, Deadpool can only continue to chat with the audience in the live broadcast room that does not exist in the air, but now the lighting tools of the three are only bat headlamps and Diana's mantra lasso, so in the dark environment, if you want to bring It is difficult for everyone to visit the surrounding retro caves.

Especially when Batman leads the way ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and everyone is still turning left and right along the railroad tracks, up and down.

Although we know that there is only one floor of the sewer, it is impossible to excavate only one floor during the construction work, because the sewer also needs many exits, which are usually used for maintenance and so on.

The atmosphere in the team can be said to be a little deserted. Even if Deadpool is talking all the time and the other two are silent, this is a lonely march in the dark.

But fortunately, this embarrassing march only lasted about 20 minutes, and then all three of them saw a light at a bend in the tunnel, which was the faint flame of a kerosene lamp, and at the same time heard some whistling sounds, Someone is digging.

At this time, the bat stopped and gave the two of them a wink, which meant that he would come to negotiate later.

But before he had time to act, a voice came from the front, full of surprised questioning:

"You? Why did you find this place?!"
