Chapter 115 Prison Break

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Wei slid off the container, lowered his body, and quickly moved towards Batman.

In the smoke, Batman leaned against the shipping container, panting. His wound on his arm was still bleeding, and his breathing was heavy, clearly indicating that he had exhausted a great deal of energy.

Li Wei quickly walked to his side and said in a low voice, "Buddy, come with me, I know a way out."

Batman didn't turn around, but just turned his head slightly. He recognized Li Wei's voice, but didn't leave with Li Wei immediately.

"Bane set traps and snipers around the area."

Li Wei's voice was urgent; he knew Batman wanted to deal with these mercenaries, but time was running out.

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Just then, a mercenary burst through the smoke and lunged toward Batman.

Li Wei immediately raised his hand and punched the mercenary in the chin. The mercenary groaned and fell to the ground.

Levi pulled Batman's arm, gesturing for him to follow, while whispering a reminder.

"Watch out for traps, there's a tripwire underfoot, and a sniper is fifty meters to the left."

Batman paused, didn't speak, but nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard clearly.

He followed Li Wei's lead and moved with him toward the other side of the dock.

Li Wei already knew the dock's layout by heart, and he led Batman through the containers.

The two skillfully avoided the traps set by Bane and evaded the sniper's fire.

As the smoke cleared, the mercenaries discovered that Batman was missing and immediately gave chase in all directions.

But Levi and Batman were incredibly fast, and soon disappeared at the end of the dock.

They ran wildly along the path by the shore, the gunshots and shouts behind them gradually fading into the distance until they disappeared completely into the night.

When the two stopped, they had reached the edge of Gotham Harbor, an abandoned warehouse district with no one around.

Batman leaned against the warehouse wall, his arm still bleeding, the wound deep.

Blood dripped down his arm, forming dark red spots on the ground.

Li Wei pulled a first-aid kit from his pocket; it was the equipment he always carried with him.

He walked over to Batman, gestured for him to sit down, and then carefully removed the cape from Batman's arm, revealing the wound.

The wound was long and had irregular edges, clearly cut by a sharp dagger, and blood was still gushing out.

"Thank you." Batman's voice was hoarse, tinged with weariness.

He looked at Li Wei with a complex emotion in his eyes, a mixture of gratitude and doubt.

"What are you doing here? And how did you know Bane would attack Gotham Harbor?"

"After the clock tower was bombed, I analyzed Bane's patterns of action."

As Li Wei wiped the blood off Batman's arm with gauze, he spoke calmly.

"He's been targeting you and Wayne Enterprises' businesses. Gotham Port is his next target, which isn't hard to predict."

Batman didn't say anything, but just watched silently as Levi treated his wounds.

Li Wei's movements were very practiced; he had already honed them during his time in Gotham.

His eyes were focused and serious, without the slightest panic or curiosity, as if he were just doing something very ordinary.

"You seem to know Bain very well."

Batman suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on Li Wei, trying to read something from his face.

"I've seen him."

Li Wei didn't hide anything, and said this while wrapping Batman's arm with bandages.

"I was hiding in his arms depot the night Francis was killed."

I saw him take over Francis's arms network, and I also saw him inject himself with a power-enhancing drug.

He is very strong, extremely cautious, methodical, and patient; he is a very difficult opponent to deal with.

Batman frowned slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Levi to know so much about Bane.

"Thanks, buddy."

"I am an advisor to the Gotham Police Department."

Li Wei paused, looked up, and met Batman's gaze.

"Protecting Gotham is not your responsibility alone."

Batman fell silent. He looked into Levi's eyes, which held no trace of ulterior motives, only unwavering resolve and a sense of responsibility.

He knew that Li Wei was telling the truth.

There aren't many people like Levi in ​​Gotham.

They dedicate themselves silently, asking for nothing in return, all to make this city a better place.

"Bain's target is not just me."

Batman's tone became serious.

"He wants to take over Gotham and destroy the city."

His mercenary team is formidable, and he also controls Gotham's underground arms network.

We must find his hiding place as soon as possible and stop his plan.

"I've gathered some clues."

Li Wei stood up and put the first aid kit away.

"He employs about several dozen mercenaries, distributed across various areas of Gotham, mainly concentrated in the West Side Black Market and near Gotham Port."

He's still trying to find out where you are and keeping a close eye on your movements.

In addition, the enhancement drug he was injected with, while it could increase his strength, seemed to have strong side effects.

His breathing was heavy and his emotions were very unstable.

Batman nodded, memorizing all the information.

He knew these clues were crucial and might be the key to defeating Bane.

"I'll figure something out as soon as possible," he said. "We can devise a plan to defeat Bane completely."

"Buddy, you need to be careful," Li Wei warned.

"Bane is cunning; he will definitely set more traps."

Moreover, he seems to know your every move, and may very well have planted spies around you.

Batman's eyes sharpened; he knew it, of course.

Recently, his actions have been repeatedly predicted by Bain.

Clearly, someone was secretly passing messages to Bain, but he hadn't yet found out who that informant was.

"I will be careful."

Batman stood up and hid his face in the shadows.

"Thank you for tonight. If it weren't for you, I might have already fallen into Bain's trap."

"You're welcome." Li Wei shook his head. "Our goal is the same: to protect Gotham."

Batman didn't say anything more, he just nodded slightly.

Then he turned around, leaped into the air, and disappeared from the roof of the warehouse, leaving only a black afterimage.

Li Wei stood there, looking in the direction where Batman had disappeared, his eyes serious.

He knew this was just the beginning; Bain's plans were still ongoing, and an even bigger storm awaited them.

He took out his phone and dialed Gordon's number.

"Dude, I'm in Gotham Harbor. Batman has been safely evacuated."

Levi's voice was low and deep. "Bane's next move may be even more drastic, and we must be prepared."

Also, please check on recent personnel changes at Wayne Enterprises, especially the new employees. I suspect Bain has planted spies within Wayne Enterprises.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."

Gordon's voice came through the phone, tinged with relief.

"Are you alright? How's Batman?"

"I'm fine. Batman has a minor arm injury, but it's not serious."

Li Wei asked, "How's things going on your end? Has the clock tower issue been resolved?"

"It's been mostly resolved. The media has followed your instructions, and there hasn't been much panic for the time being."

Gordon's tone relaxed slightly.

"But I know this is only temporary, and Bain won't give up so easily."

"That's right, he won't let this go."

Li Wei's gaze returned to the direction of Gotham Harbor. In the darkness, the lights on the docks remained dim, as if concealing countless dangers.

"But we won't sit idly by, man. Notify all officers to increase patrols."

In particular, any abnormalities found in Wayne Enterprises' properties and important landmarks in Gotham should be reported immediately.

Also, I'm closely monitoring the situation at Arkham Asylum. Bane has been seen on the outskirts of Arkham before, and I'm worried he might be colluding with the hardened criminals inside.

"I understand, I'll arrange everything," Gordon said.

After hanging up the phone, Li Wei did not leave immediately.

He leaned against the warehouse wall, gazing at the dark sea, lost in thought.

Bane's abilities exceeded his expectations, and Batman's condition was far from optimistic, making the situation in Gotham increasingly dire.

He didn't know how long the war would last, or whether they would ultimately be able to defeat Bane.

But he knew he couldn't back down, and he wouldn't back down.

He recalled the scene he had witnessed last night in the arms depot, the way Bane's muscles swelled after being injected with the enhancement drug.

I recalled his cold eyes and ruthless tone, and his obsession with Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Bane is a formidable opponent; he is not only powerful but also meticulous and has a well-thought-out plan.

Defeating him will be no easy task.

But Levi also believed that Batman would not be easily defeated, and the citizens of Gotham would not give up easily.

As long as they unite and persevere...

We will definitely find Bane's weakness, we will definitely be able to defeat him, and protect the peace of Gotham.

The night grew darker, the sea breeze still howled, but Li Wei's gaze grew increasingly resolute.

He knew that the days to come would be full of danger and challenges, but he was prepared.

He will continue to gather clues and assist Batman and Gordon until Bane is completely defeated and Gotham returns to peace.

He took a deep breath, straightened his body, and turned to walk towards his car.

The car lights came on, piercing the night, and drove towards the police station.

He still had a lot to do and a lot of clues to sort out; he couldn't waste a single moment.

The war against Bane has officially begun, and he must give it his all.

Li Wei's pickup truck had just entered the police station parking lot, and the acrid smell of tires rubbing against the ground had not yet dissipated.

The emergency call from the dispatch center was like a sharp icicle, piercing the brief silence.

He pushed open the car door and was immediately engulfed in a violent chaos.

The officers, their faces pale, moved through the corridors, their walkie-talkies blaring.

Some people even knocked over the file rack in the corner, scattering the files all over the floor in a mess.

"Mr. Levi! Something's happened! Arkham Asylum has been attacked! A mass breakout has occurred!"

A young police officer saw him and practically lunged at him to report, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"A burly man stormed in with his mercenaries, opened all the cells, and the clown, the scarecrow, Two-Face... all the hardened criminals escaped!"

"What?"

Li Wei's steps suddenly stopped, and his brows instantly furrowed into a tight knot.

Arkham Asylum has the highest level of security in Gotham, so Bane's ability to force his way through and open all the cells clearly indicates that it was premeditated.

This was by no means a spur-of-the-moment attack, but a crucial step in the plan.

He rushed into the dispatch room, which was already chaotic, but now it was in complete disarray.

The dispatcher's voice was hoarse and on the verge of breaking, and the screen was covered with dense red dots representing danger, almost covering half of Gotham.

"Fifth Avenue downtown! The Joker has set a department store on fire and taken hostages, demanding that Batman come and negotiate in person!"

"Blackwater Swamp in the Suburbs! A large amount of unknown gas has been detected spreading. Residents have already experienced hallucinations and are attacking others. Preliminary confirmation is that it is the Scarecrow's Fear Gas!"

"Outskirts of Arkham! Fugitives have split into several groups and are attacking nearby residential areas. Requesting emergency backup!"

"Two-Face and his gang have occupied the bank next to City Hall, threatening to blow up the entire building!"

Emergency reports poured in like a tide, and the lights on the dispatch console flickered, casting a shadow of despair on everyone's faces.

Gordon stormed into the control room, his eyes bloodshot, and yelled into the walkie-talkie.

"Get all officers on standby to move out immediately! West District officers to intercept the fugitive on the outskirts of Arkham."

The South District is supporting the city center, the North District is rushing to the suburbs to deal with the toxic gas, and the East District is going to the banks to provide support!

Notify the National Guard and request their assistance in sealing off the area!

"etc!"

Li Wei's voice was calm to the point of being icy. He reached out and pressed Gordon's shoulder, his eyes fixed on the distribution of red dots on the screen.

"This is a hunt, not chaos."

Gordon turned his head sharply, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

"Now is not the time for analysis! All the fugitives from Arkham have escaped, and Gotham is dangerous everywhere."

If reinforcements aren't ordered soon, even more civilians will die!

"It is precisely because danger is everywhere that we must remain calm."

Li Wei's fingertip swept across the screen, connecting the four red dots: Arkham, downtown, suburbs, and bank.

"Bane attacked Arkham, releasing all the hardened criminals in order to disperse them and create multiple points of crisis."

Look at these crime scenes—Arkham is on the outskirts, the city center and banks are in the core area, and the suburbs are on the other side.

This forms a perfect encirclement, completely cutting off Batman's area of ​​operation.

He paused, his gaze becoming even sharper.

"The clown's arson, the scarecrow's poison gas, and the two-faced man's robbery are all decoys."

Bane's real target is Batman.

He knew that Batman had just gone through the battle of Gotham Harbor and had not yet recovered his strength.

Now, multiple crises are being used to force Batman to run back and forth, constantly draining his physical and mental energy.

Once Batman is exhausted, he can strike and kill him with a single blow.

"You mean...we can't distribute police resources according to these crime scenes?"

Gordon's tone softened somewhat. He knew that Levi's judgment was always accurate, but the current crisis was simply too urgent.

"Police resources must be dispersed, but priorities must be clearly defined."

Li Wei quickly said, "Although there are many fugitives in Arkham, most of them are a rabble."

Police officers can cooperate with the National Guard to cordon off the area and gradually clear out the enemy; there is no need to deploy too many elite troops.

The real focus should be on the city center and the suburbs.
