Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 156 Returning to Robinson Park (two chapters in one)

Speaking of Bain's news just reached New York.

Barbara and Pamela soon got word on the news.

Then, Barbara, who was worried about the safety of her father and brother, resolutely chose to go back to Gotham to find out.

If possible, stop the conspiracy of Bain and others.

Due to time constraints, Barbara changed into a Batwoman suit in front of Pamela.

Using the bat claw gun, he wandered through tall buildings with agility.

The speed is even faster than the average sports car.

Although Pamela promised to help Barbara keep the secret, she couldn't bear to see Barbara go into danger alone.

What's more, Kaitou Kidd also issued a warning letter, intending to steal Bane's nuclear bomb.

Others don't know that Kidd is Maggison, but she, Pamela, knows it.

If Barbara were allowed to escape to Gotham, the two would inevitably meet in Bane's territory.

Pamela didn't know why Maggison hid his identity from Barbara, but since Maggison did it, Pamela thought there must be his reasons.

Therefore, even if Maggison didn't ask her to help conceal it, Pamela would help him spontaneously.

For Kaito Kidd, Pamela is unconditional help.

In the current chaotic situation in Gotham, McKesson may not be able to show any flaws in front of Barbara as before.

Nor could he have the leisure to take care of Barbara.

So, for whatever reason, Pamela had to stay with Barbara.

Even if the price is that she must confess her secret.

Because neither Barbara nor Pamela could swim safely to Gotham under normal circumstances.

So when Barbara drove the speedboat to the middle of the waterway between New York and Gotham, and was about to jump into the water, she was shocked to find that Pamela had followed her at some point.

And Pamela's appearance has completely changed.

Not to mention that the skin of the whole body has turned green, the texture of the whole body also looks more like a plant.

He was also wearing a strange tights, which seemed to be made of pieces of leaves, not only did not look inconsistent, but also very tight.

It perfectly highlights Pamela's uneven figure.

Seeing this scene, with Barbara's mind, it is easy to think of the mysterious man who rescued the phantom thief Kidd at the Stoke Fair.

She never expected that that mysterious person was actually her roommate and best friend Pamela.

But after thinking about it, it's not really surprising.

At the beginning, Pamela went back to school by claiming that she was unwell, but when Barbara returned, she found that Pamela was very healthy.

Pamela likes Kaito Kidd so much, how could she miss Kidd's performance.

It turned out that she was going to help Kidd, so it was very reasonable.

Then Barbara imagined that Pamela came to Gotham with her, probably to help Kaito Kidd deal with Bane.

Then there is nothing to say, since the two have the same goal, they hit it off immediately.

Pamela controls the plants to extend infinitely, and brings Barbara to Gotham.

Robinson Central Park, one of the most important landmarks in Gotham City.

After leaving Port Miller, Barbara and Pamela arrived here.

This park with the largest area in Gotham has been completely closed at this moment.

There is nothing inside.

The good news is that none of the gang forces have sent anyone to occupy here.

After all, the location of the park is not on the border of Gotham, but on the ground, so there is no need to waste manpower here.

After all, Robinson Park is too big, and it takes a lot of people to completely defend it.

None of Bane, Penguin, or Black Mask could afford such a loss.

However, in order to prevent the remnants of the GCPD in Gotham City and the rebels who are unwilling to accept gang rule from uniting, they established a secret stronghold in Robinson Park.

They blocked every entrance to the park, and built a high-voltage power grid on the outer ring, and a monitoring system is indispensable.

There are even scarecrows who insanely set fear traps all over the park.

In fact, not just Robinson Park, but every other location that the gang didn't want to occupy was made like this.

It fundamentally eliminated the possibility of large-scale resistance by Gotham citizens.

Without a stronghold, what do you hold together?
Robinson Park has become a forbidden place for ordinary people.

But it is the perfect hiding place for Pamela.

Robinson Park has the largest plant coverage area in Gotham, and Poison Ivy will gain unprecedented power here.

And Pamela is also immune to all toxins including fear gas.

The trap set by the scarecrow also lost its effect.

"Pamela, all the gates are sealed, and there are high-voltage power grids blocking us, so we can't go in."

Barbara was speechless as she looked at the park full of traps.

Is it such a toss in a place where no one wants to come?
"It's okay, none of these obstacles exist for me."

Pamela smiled.

She waved her hands, and the ground in front of her suddenly began to shake.

A crack slowly opened in the middle of the ground, and a sapling emerged from the crack.

And it grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became a big tree surrounded by three people.

At this point, the shaking stopped, and there were no traces except for an extra tree in the green belt in front of the park gate.

There are many trees around here, and one or two more trees is not a problem at all.

"You conjured a big tree out of thin air, I have to admit it's pretty cool, but...how are we going to get into the park?"

Barbara smiled awkwardly.

Pamela chuckled, and made a gesture of pulling the door towards the tree trunk.

Then the bark is literally pulled open like a door!
Barbara looked through the tree door, startled.

It turned out that the inside of the trunk turned out to be a hollowed-out tree hole. On the surface, it was a big tree. In fact, only the outer bark was real.

Pamela motioned for Barbara to go into the tree hole with her.

Only then did Barbara discover that there was a tunnel under the tree, leading to the inside of the park.

Pamela closed the door of the tree hole, and the bark returned to its original state.

"Barbara, you come after me."

Hearing this, Barbara nodded, waiting for Pamela to jump down the tunnel first before following.

After a while, Pamela stopped.

Here is the exit of the tunnel.

Barbara waited for her next move.

"Barbara, I see a surveillance camera near here, can you hack it?"

Pamela first closed her eyes and switched her perspective to the plants on the ground, only to find a monitor.

"A piece of cake."

This was Barbara's forte.

She took out her mobile phone and started to operate.

Tens of seconds later...

"Okay, so I set the outside monitors to loop the footage for 10 minutes, and during that time we're not going to be filmed no matter what we do."

Barbara gave Pamela an OK gesture.

After being confirmed, with a wave of Pamela's small hand, a hole was automatically opened in the ground above her head, and the two girls climbed up from the hole.

Hmm... the ground above your head, sounds a little weird, but that's exactly what it is.

As soon as she came out of the ground, Pamela took a deep breath with a fascinated expression.

"Barbara, I've never felt better than I do right now...I, I feel great!"

Pamela looked down at her hands, clenched and open.

A warm feeling poured into Pamela's body from the ground covered with flowers and plants, and Poison Ivy's super power suddenly increased several times.

For the first time in her life, she felt that she truly possessed something like "power".

Pamela is very clear that she doesn't need anyone's help or protection at this time, on the contrary, she can protect others by herself.

For a long time after her ability had just been awakened, Pamela hated the experiment that turned herself into this.

She hates the look of green all over.

It wasn't until the first time she used her ability to rescue Maggison that Pamela began to feel that the superpower to control plants was not useless.

"If I had this ability back then, I would have been able to protect Dad from being killed by Daggett... I could avenge him no matter what happens."

thought Pamela.

"But... In this way, I may never see him in my life..."

It was only after going to New York that she gained power. Pamela couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Come on, Barbara, let's go this way."

Now that there was no time for further fantasies, Pamela asked Barbara to go with her.

Next, the two people's progress is to let Pamela switch to the plant's perspective to investigate the situation. Once the monitoring equipment is found, Barbara will hack it.

If other traps or fear gas are found, it's up to Pamela to destroy them.

Although Pamela is theoretically absolutely immune to fear gas, but she is not free enough to take the initiative to inhale it.

Directly let the branches replace the people to trigger the trap.

The dose of fear gas in each trap is so small that it can be completely absorbed by plants.

Unobstructed all the way.

I came to the playground area, why I came here, of course, because only here are a large number of convenience stores and tourist restaurants opened.

After all, not many people would open a shop and sell things in the woods.

They don't know when the incident in Gotham will end, it is likely to be a protracted war.

Without enough living supplies, they will be unable to move a single step.

Fortunately, Robinson Park was blocked very early, and most of the materials inside were well preserved.

There are plenty of drinking water and various snacks in the convenience store, as well as a lot of dry food such as bread sandwiches.

There are even some vegetables and meat in the refrigerator in the restaurant. Although they are definitely not fresh, at least they are not spoiled.

Because of the need to maintain the high-voltage power grid outside the park, there is no power outage in the park, and the refrigerator is still in normal operation.

In this way, Barbara and Pamela found their secret base.

"I have to find out how my dad and little James are doing now."

In the tourist restaurant, Barbara told her next move.

"Pamela, do you have any plans? Kaitou Kidd's whereabouts are secretive, and it's too difficult to find him."

"It doesn't matter, he said in the notice that he would steal the nuclear bomb on the full moon, so he will definitely show up at that time."

Pamela told Barbara that she should not worry.

"When the time comes, I'll go and help him again."

"Then why did you come to Gotham so many days in advance?"

Barbara asked strangely.

Hearing this, Pamela frowned, and grabbed Barbara's ears with lightning speed.

"Why do you need to ask? Do you think I don't care about others except Kidd?"

"I'm your senior, whether you're at Gotham University or New York University, and we're still good friends, aren't we?"

"Hey, Pamela, you hurt so much!"

Barbara apologized immediately.

Pamela snorted coldly and let go of her hand.

"How can I just watch you, a stupid girl, come to die alone?"

Barbara rubbed her red ears, feeling lingering fear.

Just now she was unable to do any act of resistance, and could only be held motionless by Pamela.

"Also, why does Pamela feel like a completely different person, she is usually so gentle..."

Barbara thought to herself, without saying it.

There is still one thing she didn't say, that is, she was very touched by Pamela who came to Gotham with her to take risks.

"From the location point of view, GCPD is closer to here than Gotham Middle School."

The farce is over, and Pamela and Barbara get down to business.

"The latest news we can get is that Director Gordon suffered a gunshot wound during the battle with Bane and was sent to the GCPD police hospital. His life and death are currently unknown."

"Little James was in Gotham Middle School when he was in class. The school was suddenly attacked by thugs. Countless students died. His life and death are still unknown, but the odds are good."

Barbara expressed the information with concern.

"We are now divided into two groups. I will go to Gotham Middle School farther away to find your brother, and you will go to Director Gordon. How about it?"

Pamela suggested that she take the initiative to go to Gotham Middle School. The longer the journey, the more dangers she may encounter in the middle.

"Regardless of whether we find it in the end, we must return here before dawn."

Barbara knew that Pamela was stronger than herself, so she didn't argue with her on this issue.

"Pamela, be careful."

"You too."

While the two women were acting separately, Maggison also brought Charlie to a ruined place.

"There is no surveillance equipment around here, and there are no gangsters."

It was still the Charlie brand reconnaissance plane that took the lead. After confirming its safety, Maggison came out from the darkness.

"I didn't expect Gotham Middle School to be destroyed like this..."

Looking at the ruins in front of him, as well as the countless broken limbs and broken arms, Maggison couldn't help sighing.

This was also the place where he went to school, leaving a lot of memories.

McKesson didn't expect such a coincidence that the route he chose at random happened to reach Gotham Middle School.

"Charlie, are there any living people here?"

Charlie twitched his nose vigorously and nodded with great certainty.

"There are many survivors in the school, and they are all hidden in deep places."
