In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 408: I won’t say who is unlucky (below)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
Gotham's traffic has improved more in the past year than in the past ten years combined.
First, the new mayor and the new official took office three fires, and they burned on the head of the traffic problem. The traffic civilization day for several consecutive days, although the central turntable of Gotham was almost smashed into ruins, it was even more obvious. The new mayor would rather destroy the world than pay close attention to the determination of traffic.
Furthermore, the logistics problem affects the development of the gangster industry, which made the vast majority of gangsters realize that they cannot be exhausted, they must build first to make a profit, and no one is willing to contribute money and efforts. The final result is that everyone will work together Stop it, no one wants to make money.
Although these gang bosses have not read any books, their desire to make money is very high. Driven by their interests, they not only actively participate in the Traffic Civilization Day, but also provide traffic police and police It has provided sufficient firepower support, and at the same time spent a lot of money to hire various professionals to reorganize Gotham's traffic network, and even sincerely invited some excellent traffic police to come to the city to help them maintain traffic.
The drivers who used to be grumpy and uneducated also found that only when the roads are smooth, they have more opportunities to choose. Instead, they can look for better jobs, so although they are still cursing, most people have finally learned to obey simple traffic rules.
With so many measures in place, the traffic in Gotham is not a little bit better, but if you have to catch a typical example, the most chaotic area is actually the central carousel area.
This place has been a transportation hub for a long time. It was built by the first Europeans who landed here. Some structures have built it into a roundabout hub with the largest and most traffic in the center of Gotham.
The problem is that when the Europeans built this place, they assumed that only they would walk here, and they all knew the traffic rules, but the later users were not these Europeans, but absolutely Mostly uneducated but grumpy truck drivers.
Because the traffic here is so bad, Gordon had to borrow his high-power bat light from Batman to act as a traffic light. The power of the traffic lights has been reduced, turning it into the brightest light ball that can illuminate Gotham.
Combined with the traffic police on the central watchtower who supervised the traffic rules with bazookas, and the Gotham University interns who were in charge of billing and towing trucks, the traffic situation at the central turntable finally improved.
The drivers can finally see the huge four-way traffic light clearly, and basically understand what the different lights above mean. For example, if you see a red light, you must stop, and if you see a green light, you can go When the lights are on, you can turn, and when the lights are on, you must stop and wait.
This is indeed a good sign, but it cannot conceal the irritability of the drivers. They always feel that the green light time in the direction they are going is too short, while the green light time of others seems to be very long, so they can often hear the car in the central turntable area. All kinds of scolding wars, which even promoted the development of the Gotham hip-hop rap culture circle.
After all, you don't even need to buy a ticket, all you need is a car and the courage to plunge into the congested area of the central turntable, and you can listen to a free rap that covers all English and English slang concert.
But fortunately, even if the green light time is short, there is still a green light. Waiting will only make them irritable and impatient, and will not let them start fighting. This situation lasted for a long time. The overall traffic situation is in towards a positive development.
Until one day, Yizhan, a large green light bulb that can be seen very clearly from four directions, fell on the top of the entire traffic light.
If you look down on the central turntable from a high altitude, you will find that when the huge green light bulb suddenly lights up, all the cars almost kick the accelerator without thinking, and instantly "crack!", "clap! ", "Boom!", "Boom!"...
Then there is a rap concert, and da da da da da...
Actually, the center carousel is not without experience when it was smashed into ruins. Most people fired a few shots at the car to vent their anger. There has been a grudge for a long time, but it just broke out with this excuse. As soon as the police enter the scene, the riot will soon subside.
But the only problem is that unfortunately, a very innocent university professor who participated in this chaotic war, or was forced to participate in this chaotic war, was Schiller.
Originally, Schiller, who came back to DC again, was in a good mood, because university professors have holidays, and he didn't take the holidays last year, so he can stay together for this year. After teaching, assign a thesis, and then go on vacation.
Today is his last day of work before vacation.
Schiller doesn't have any grand vacation plans. He just wants to go to the surrounding Brudhaven to see the scenery. Tan middle class choice.
However, there is no room for trains or planes for this distance, and Americans prefer to travel by car, so Schiller originally planned to drive there by himself.
But now, standing by the side of the road, he sighed deeply when he saw his old Ford car whose front bumper was almost completely smashed and both rear wheels were completely blown out.
The thing is like this, when all the drivers saw the green light, they all rushed out with a foot of the accelerator, because these drivers had already been impatient with waiting, and they were unwilling to judge the light on the light post. Whether the light was really green or not, but Schiller knew that it was not a real green light, so he didn't step on the accelerator immediately.
As a result, the car behind that stepped on the accelerator directly ran into his car and hit the pickup truck in front.
As we all know, in this kind of rear-end collision, the most serious damage is often the car in the middle. If it weren't for Schiller's spider sensor, which teleported out at the moment of the car accident, he might still be alive at this time. Was pressed by the airbag on the seat.
Just as Schiller was thinking about who to call for this kind of thing, a very familiar figure walked over. Evans greeted Schiller, glanced at Schiller, and then at Xi Le's car stopped when it wanted to come over, and silently took two steps back.
He said: "Good morning, Professor."
"Why are you standing so far away?" Schiller looked at him and asked, then waved to him and said, "Come here, who should I call in this situation? You know, I'm a foreigner, here is Is it a towing company or something?"
Evans did not intend to step forward at all, he just stood there, and then pursed his lips and said: "Yes, there is, it's just..."
At this moment, another group of people came over. A man in a suit held a book, looked Schiller up and down, and then at his car, and said, "The vehicle is seriously damaged, and the trailer needs to be repaired." Add 20% of the fee, Paul, you go to deal with his car, Doyle Towing Company thank you for your patronage."
Schiller sighed, reached into the pocket of his suit, took out his wallet, flipped through it and said, "Okay, how much is the towing fee?"
"$120, sir."
Schiller looked him up and down, and said in disbelief, "What did you say? $120?"
"The situation is special, sir, can't you see it? Che is waiting for someone now. If you don't come to us, that fellow Layton will charge you more. He dares to ask you for $200!"
Schiller shook his head. If this was New York in the 21st century of Marvel World, this price would be acceptable, but now it is 1988, and most consumer units are still in the era of cents.
At this time, Evans came up and wanted to save Schiller, but Schiller gave him a look to stop him, took out two banknotes from his wallet and said, "Here."
Doyle took the money, whistled as he realized he had an extra $10, and immediately waved to the side of the car and said, "Pol, lighten up, this is our big customer! "
He flicked the banknotes with his fingers and said, "In Gotham, there are not many people who will give tips. Thank you, sir. We guarantee that your car will arrive at the designated place safely. Doyle is the most professional towing company. Come back to us next time if you need it!"
Evans looked at Schiller, shrugged and said, "At least the service attitude is not bad, right?"
Schiller put away his wallet unhurriedly, put it back in his clothes pocket, and then looked left and right at the chaotic situation. As Doyle said just now, most of the cars on the field are now It was broken, and the central turntable was blocked again, and the roundabout in the middle was smashed into ruins again.
Then, Schiller looked up and looked to the sky.
So, where is the Green Lantern who just landed, or Green Lantern Hal?
He is now floating at a height of several hundred meters, looking in horror at what is happening below.
Before, he thought Gotham's people were simple and honest, but now he knew that Gotham's people were really simple and simple.
He wanted to do something to remedy all this, but his premonition told him, so it's better not to go down now.
Facts have proved that Hal's intuition is very accurate, because it is not only Schiller who suffered this time, but also the Batman family.
Before the Green Lantern stopped on the lamp post, Bruce drove the car, carrying Selena, Aisha, Dick and the old butler Alfred ~IndoMTL.com~ They wanted to go to the hospital for a medical examination.
It's not that Bruce wants to give them a physical examination, but the old butler Alfred wants to ensure that Bruce's strange life trajectory during this period has not caused any trouble to his body. Although it is okay to invite a doctor to the house, but Alfred Red wanted everyone to get a fuller checkup, so it would be better to go to the hospital.
They made an appointment for the medical examination in the morning, so early in the morning, Bruce drove everyone to the hospital. Originally, they were prepared to be blocked at the central turntable for a while, but unexpectedly, Just the whole day.
Bruce's experience was the same as that of Schiller. When all the drivers thought it was a green light, he found that it was not a green light, but Green Lantern Hal, so he didn't step on the accelerator.
Fortunately, the cars he drives are all safe cars, much better than that classic Ford car, so the two cars in front and behind him suffered the most damage, and Bruce's car was unscathed.
But this does not mean that he is not angry. Originally, the traffic situation in Gotham has improved, and Bruce is also proud of it. Do you have to come here to make trouble?
The one who was more angry than him was the old butler Alfred. At that moment, Alfred also saw Haier's appearance.
And a few days ago, he actually discovered this guy with green light, not only suspected of following Aisha, but also seemed to be following Batman.
The old butler squinted his eyes and looked up into the sky. Among the dense clouds of Gotham, he keenly caught the inconspicuous green light.
At this time, Hal shivered fiercely.
