Chapter 212 The Magic Robbery Diary of the Rogue Gang
Midtown, night.
This is Iron Mountain Prison, the largest prison in Midtown.
Heat Wave stretched out his hand towards the wire mesh wall, and soon, the wires melted into molten iron and dripped onto the ground.
"Magician was so stupid that he ran into the police station to turn himself in. The police must have been very happy at that time." He shook the flames on his hands and complained: "The Rogues don't have such stupid teammates."
"Magician may be a little stupid, Rory, but we can't abandon him." Captain Cold half-armed his hips and said: "He has been trapped in the cell for a long time, and the kid has learned his lesson."
He was the first to drill through the wire mesh wall with a big hole burned in it: "The Rogues are like a big family, Heat Wave. Always."
The others looked at each other, shrugged, and followed him through the big hole. Soon, the shrill alarm bell rang at night in Iron Mountain Prison.
With a loud bang, the blaster Heat Wave once again punched a big hole in the wall. Burning and destroying things can effectively curb Heat Wave's mental illness. The members of the Rogue Gang tacitly gave him this opportunity.
"Ha, only this kid would sleep in before escaping." They broke into the magician's cell: "Hi, Axel!"
Heat Wave handed a bottle of wine to the magician: "Come and have a drink, I brought you your favorite wine. Let's take you out of here, kid, let's go."
The magician got up from the bed in a daze, and it took him a while to focus on the wine. He took the bottle of wine handed over by Heat Wave, and then almost threw him to the ground: "Dude, this wine is ripe."
"I told you to let me get this, Mick."
The weather wizard muttered in the back, being with his companions made him seem much more relaxed, and not having to work for the Marton family was easier to relieve his depression than any medicine.
"Oh, for God's sake." Captain Cold said, spraying a little cold air on the bottle in the magician's hand. The magician hurriedly drank a sip with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Okay, listen now, Axel." Captain Cold said, "Because I will only say this once, I'm sorry, it's my fault to kick you out of the Rogues. I should set a good example. You will always be one of us."
Captain Cold did not mention that one of the reasons he kicked the magician out of the Rogues was that he did not intend to let the young man in front of him take the risk of gaining superpowers with the gene recombination machine with them-he did not let his sister Lisa, the Golden Glider, use the gene recombination machine, but Lisa was present when they used it, and her superpowers were the result of the explosion of the gene recombination.
This is also the reason why Captain Cold has felt guilty for a long time, because he knew in advance that the gene recombination machine might be dangerous, but he still took everyone to gamble with everyone relying on everyone's trust in him.
"What, Captain Cold actually apologized?" The magician said, "I'm dreaming, right?"
"No, get up, kid." Captain Cold paused, then hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Hey, everyone, listen. Since we have already talked about apologizing, let's just say it all at once, guys. I just couldn't stand the Flash taking away our achievements, so I became reckless for a while."
"Using the gene recombination machine is the worst mistake of my life. I think I have never really apologized, but I hope you can understand that I blame myself more than you think. Look at what this machine has done to us..."
His formal apology made the other members of the Rogues a little uncomfortable.
"That's why we need each other more, man." Mirror Master said with some hesitation, and then he didn't know what to say next. He turned to Heat Wave: "Mick?"
"Maybe I am the one who hates you the most among us, and maybe it will be the same in the future, but it doesn't mean you are not one of us." Heat Wave said concisely: "My speech is over."
"Yes, the Rogues need to work together." The Weather Wizard's speech was very brief, and the golden glider that emerged from the wall expressed it more directly.
"You will always be my brother."
Captain Cold smiled.
"Okay." He raised his fist: "Rogues-"
"Let's go rob!"
"But now your sister is the leader."
"..."Captain Cold was a little silent.
...
...
...
A few days later.
Keystone City.
Night.
I am Captain Cold, yes, this is our little robbery plan.
We may look like a bunch of weirdos in weird clothes, but that's just how we are, and the only way to underestimate us is to get robbed, because the Scoundrels are... the worst bandits you'll ever see.
We're a team of super criminals based in Gem City.
Oh, now. Some local trivia to keep in mind. Keystone and Central City are called Gem City because the twin cities were built on a diamond mine.
You won't find them if you're not looking for them, but there are a lot of abandoned mines around Keystone, like this one next to us. I know what this one looks like, but we're not stupid enough to actually dig for ore...
"Are you all right in there?" The weather wizard stood at the entrance of the mine, constantly fanning the wind to blow inside.
Captain Cold was like a hard-working miner at the moment. Together with the magician, he pushed a cart of frozen stones and dumped them into the mirror space opened by the mirror master.
"Very good, just give it oxygen, Marco (weather wizard)."
"Hey, don't answer for us, Cold. Marco! More oxygen, I need more oxygen to help with combustion." Heat Wave fired another jet of flame at the top.
"You see, I didn't expect Heat Wave to be powerless sometimes, huh?" Captain Cold said.
"You're the only one who talks too much, Snow Rabbit."
"Stop arguing, guys." The voice of the Golden Glider came from above.
"Of course, sister. How long will we have to dig?"
"We can dig into the bank vault in another 10 meters."
The translucent golden body of the Golden Glider emerged from the top of the mine: "I have counted it. There is a full 1 million US dollars in the vault, divided into 5 parts. We can make a profit from this ticket."
"Okay, it's your turn." Heat Wave stepped aside, and Captain Cold sprayed frost from his hand, hitting the place where Heat Wave had just sprayed fire, and a large amount of soil began to flutter down.
Boom!
The mine shook violently.
"What's going on?"
The Mirror Master came to the glass door of the bank through the mirror space, and was surprised to see a crack on the ground.
"What's going on?" The Golden Glider also asked the same question and poked his head out from the ceiling of the mine.
Captain Cold swallowed his saliva.
"It doesn't look good, Lisa (Golden Glider). The whole mine is going to collapse."
"It may not collapse." Heat Wave said.
"It may not collapse, we should pause first."
"Wait, she is the boss, not you!" Heat Wave said, "We have been busy for so long, we can't stop here. We have studied it before, we only need to dig a big hole and install a mirror, and Sam (Mirror Master) can handle the rest."
"If it collapses after this, who will take care of it? There is enough time now--"
But Heat Wave's words were quickly interrupted by Captain Cold.
"It's not a question of whether there is enough time, Mick. There is a 12-story building full of people above our heads."
Heat Wave was speechless.
"So, this has nothing to do with us, who are we, criminals or good people?" Although he said this, Heat Wave still threw the shovel and pickaxe in his hand to the ground in frustration.
"We are the Rogue Gang! And the Rogue Gang does not kill innocent people."
Finally, the Golden Glider set the tone for the matter. "I'm afraid that's the only way. We have to stop and reinforce the crack. Sorry, guys, this team mission is a failure... but we have to give up the original plan."
"F****!"
Heatwave cursed in a low voice.
"This is a common thing, Mick." Captain Cold comforted him: "We can't be considered bad guys just because we are a group of thieves and robbers. Sometimes robbery will not be worth the loss."
He said: "I also prepared a backup plan. If we can't dig directly to the vault, we will break through from the top directly."
"But before that, we have to reinforce the crack first, then fill all the soil we dug out before, and figure out which load-bearing place we dug to cause the above situation, and then reinforce the mechanical structure..." As the mirror master spoke, he felt his head starting to hurt.
"And we can't not do it, because it will collapse at any time now, damn it." Heatwave said.
"And after we finish repairing the bottom, we have to start robbing the bank right away. Otherwise, if time goes on for too long, the people above will find the cracks on the ground and find the mine below, and then realize that they are being targeted." The magician complained: "But by the time we finish repairing it, it will probably be daybreak. Rob a bank in broad daylight?" Then he saw the expressions of the seniors around him: "Okay, this is very much the style of the rogue gang." "So what are you waiting for? Everyone, get started. First find the bearing point, and then stuff the soil and cement back-" So the rogue gang did this all night. When the sky turned pale, the bank staff went to work one after another, and the rogue gang, who had been repairing the mine all night, finally finished repairing it. Bang! The door of the bank was pushed open, and the evil rogue gang broke into the hall, immediately attracting screams. Listening to the screams of fear from the customers, the rogue gang felt that their bodies and souls were healed. They were all covered in dirt and dust, and they looked like they had just been pulled out of a mine - oh, sorry, it seemed like they had indeed been pulled out of a mine.
"Robbery!" Captain Cold stretched out his hand and froze the decorative green plants in the hall into ice sculptures: "We are the Rogues, hand over all the money!"
Captain Cold was very happy.
In any case, although there was a small mistake in the plan, the final result was still normal!
The Rogues were also very satisfied.
After all this time, the most old-fashioned robbery plan was the most cost-effective.
Soon, the salesperson in front of them would scream, and then some young people would press the alarm, and they would break into the vault, take away all the money, and leave in a swagger.
During this period, if the Flash came to stop them, they would fight with the Flash. If they won, they would get the reward. If they lost, they would go to jail. They would play again after escaping from prison next time.
Yes, this is what the Rogues experienced at the beginning.
Captain Cold had seen a waiter stick his head under the counter, which was not a big problem.
When it comes to robbery, he is a professional. He had secretly tampered with the alarm circuit of this bank branch in advance. Even if the clerk pressed the alarm, it would only sound in another bank in the city center to help them attract police force.
Soon, they would be able to rob enough money. He had planned it before. This period of time was the time when the bank had the most and richest banknotes stored.
But he was wrong.
The bank staff who got under the counter did not bring them the alarm, but...
Damn, what the hell, a banner?
It said: Dedicated to the Rogues of Midtown, heroes of justice!
Captain Cold was confused when someone stuffed the banner into his hand, and blinked in confusion.
This... this is not right?
Then he saw the bank staff look at each other. Captain Cold could almost see the ecstasy on everyone's face. Then they all looked at the Rogues, their eyes turned green.
This frightened the Rogues so much that they all swallowed their saliva.
"Damn, I've never seen anything so weird!"
Heatwave also had a banner stuffed into his hand, which made him, who was about to start a fire, not know what to do.
"Oh, dear customer!" The bank manager came running over. Seeing the Rogues was like seeing the God of Wealth, with a flattering and disgusting smile on his face. He looked like he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the Rogues on the spot to express his gratitude for finding out that the Rogues chose their branch to rob.
"Quick, quick, quick, this way!"
The weather wizard was pulled to sit on the stool in a daze. The black security guard with a gun had a simple smile on his face and even used his sleeve to wipe the seat of the chair for the weather wizard.
The manager greeted the members of the Rogue Gang enthusiastically, and at the same time, he shouted at the stunned teller next to him: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you serve tea to the gentlemen?" Then he nodded and bowed: "Boss, your money will be delivered soon!" "My...our money?" The Mirror Master was a little confused, but he didn't dare to say anything. All the members of the Rogue Gang didn't dare to say anything. They just watched the bank manager and his employees serve the Rogue Gang members with the highest standards and emperor-like treatment. Then a few minutes later, without the Rogue Gang doing anything, millions of dollars were neatly stacked and placed in front of the Rogue Gang, and the bank manager bowed flatteringly with the banknotes. "Heroes of the Rogue Gang, please be sure to accept this money!"
