Chapter 14 "My life is in your hands"
Selena shoved the handcuffs into Qin Wei's hands.
"Do whatever you want, my life is in your hands!"
"And what about you?"
"Delaying time!"
A resolute glint flashed in Catwoman's eyes as she returned the gun to Gordon and drew a long whip from her waist.
"Chief Gordon, I need your help."
Gordon was puzzled. He was only investigating a sheriff, so why were they all calling him Chief? But the title did sound nice. If he really became Chief, the first thing he would do was purge the cancerous cells within the police force one by one, and then declare war on the Gotham mob, throwing all those sons of bitches into jail.
Before that, he will have his daughter leave Gotham.
"Don't worry! I'm your strongest support!" Gordon nodded solemnly, his deep, bubbly voice always giving people a sense of security.
Catwoman charged forward, her long whip with barbs tearing through the air and lashing the cyborg's face with a deafening sonic boom.
Snapped!
The whip struck the cyborg's shoulder, instantly tearing open the grayish-blue skin. Blood mingled with flesh and blood, bursting forth like fireworks, revealing the stark white bone beneath the wound.
Such injuries are enough to render an ordinary person incapacitated, but they have little effect on the thick-skinned cyborgs.
But it doesn't matter, Selena's original intention was to distract them and buy Qin Wei time.
The androids, drawn to her attention, strode towards Catwoman, attempting to crush the little kitten with their massive bodies. While Catwoman's individual combat skills may pale in comparison to those of Batman, Bane, and Deathstroke, few in the Gotham world possess greater agility.
She leaped, somersaulted, and dodged with ease as she weaved through the crossfire of the two cyborgs, the booming sounds of their colliding muscles echoing like thunder in a well.
Selena swung her long whip, wrapped it around the cyborg's neck, and used the momentum of tilting her head back to leap high into the air, landing on the monster's shoulder.
Upon hearing the sound, the other cyborg slapped Catwoman across the face.
Selena used the shoulders to jump a second time, narrowly avoiding this round of attacks.
After she dodged the attack, another cyborg was the one who suffered the consequences. She had just felt something jump onto her shoulder, but before she could grab it, her own kind attacked her face.
The hurricane unleashed by the slap raged relentlessly inside the well. The unfortunate cyborg was slapped dozens of meters away by its own kind, crashing headfirst into the well wall and blasting a large crater into the concrete wall.
Amidst the deafening roar, everyone felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.
Qin Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, was on tenterhooks. He knew that Selena had neither received the serum nor undergone genetic modification, and that her muscles would quickly accumulate lactic acid and become fatigued during high-intensity exercise.
She can't hold on much longer.
The situation is more serious than he imagined.
Selena felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her calf while in mid-air, and lost her balance, falling to the ground.
Her calf cramped up, and to make matters worse, she seemed to have twisted her ankle upon landing. Selena clutched her ankle for a long time, unable to get up. The cyborg, however, showed no mercy, raising its hands high, crossing them into a hammer shape, attempting to smash Catwoman into mincemeat.
Gordon stepped in at the critical moment.
His marksmanship wasn't as good as Brock's, so he could only try to close the distance to his target. The man ripped off his cumbersome suit jacket and rushed forward, using a sliding tackle to maintain his balance and firing three shots in quick succession.
boom!
The first shot pierced the cyborg's right eye, but Catwoman had previously demonstrated that shooting the eyeball did not stop the berserk monster.
boom!
Gordon continued sliding forward and fired a second shot.
Flames spewed from the muzzle, and the scorching bullet spun rapidly through the smoke before plunging into the wound inflicted by the first shot.
The bullet finally broke through the blockade and damaged the cyborg's brain, but that wasn't enough to incapacitate it. Blood gushed from its mouth and nose, yet the cyborg still raised its fists.
boom!
Another gunshot rang out.
Gordon's calves were ripped away with a lot of flesh from the friction against the filter, and bloodstains seeped from under his pants. But all the effort paid off. With the support of the first two shots, the third bullet entered the cyborg's skull without any resistance, turning the monster's brain into a mess.
Boom!
A huge mountain collapsed with a roar!
Gordon remained kneeling, gun in hand, cold sweat scattering his meticulously styled hair, his damp shirt collar clinging to his neck.
His legs were trembling so badly that he couldn't stand up.
A wave of fear crept up my spine.
With only three bullets left in his gun, he had personally placed himself within the cyborg's attack range. If he failed to kill the monster, Gordon couldn't even imagine what would happen to him.
I almost didn't get to see Barbara again...
"Thank you, Chief Gordon."
Selena limped forward and extended her hand to Gordon.
Gordon gave a weary smile and, with Catwoman's help, got to his feet. "I should thank you. You look only a few years older than my daughter, yet you have to face this monster."
"Your daughter will be so proud of you."
As she said this, something flickered in Selena's eyes.
This gentle and brave father reminded her of Falcone, who abandoned his wife and daughter.
Why are there such big differences in the same role?
Selena didn’t want to admit it, but she seemed a little jealous of Barbara, even though the two had never met.
But the real crisis was not over yet. The cyborg that had been slammed against the wall woke up, clutching its head. To make matters worse, nothing could threaten it anymore.
"You go first, it's my turn now!"
Gordon shielded Catwoman behind him. No matter how reluctant he was to leave this ravaged world, it was time for him to fulfill his duty as a police officer.
"Stop being so polite, come over here, I've got an idea!"
Gordon heard Qin Wei's shout from behind. He turned around and saw the other man squatting under the corpse of a cyborg, fastening handcuffs to a filter.
"Selena, give me the whip!"
Catwoman understood and threw the whip, while the cyborg got up and pounded his chest, preparing to launch a new attack on the group.
"Run this way, quick!"
Qin Wei ran forward and picked up the whip. He originally planned to thread the whip through the handcuffs, tie a knot in the cyborg's corpse, and then lure the cyborg to attack his companion's corpse, using the force to pry open the filter.
But plans can change. Just as he was about to return, he looked up and found that the cyborg was only inches away from Gordon and his group. It could easily crush them into mincemeat with a single hand.
Without thinking, he did something crazy: he jumped and clapped his hands while making unintelligible howls.
"Ah—! Feed—!"
This act was undoubtedly a blatant provocation slapped in the face of the cyborg, instantly igniting hatred.
The android abandoned its pursuit of Gordon and Catwoman and instead rushed towards Qin Wei.
With its ferocious face, flying spittle, and terrifying muscles trembling with the rise and fall of its body, Qin Wei hallucinated for a moment, as if what was rushing towards him was not some cyborg, but an angry Kodiak Island brown bear.
