Chapter 4: The Moment of Battle (Revised)

  Rushing into the blazing Wayne Manor at great risk, Mo Dust only discovered that this time was even worse than what he saw in the movies. As Wayne Manor is an old house with a lot of wooden materials, the entire house has been largely ignited. There were burning furniture everywhere, and various items burned by high temperatures fell from the ceiling from time to time, like a scene from hell.

  The intense heat emitted by the raging flames made Mudanxing feel extremely uncomfortable, even though he had already drenched himself in water.

  Feeling the moisture on his clothes evaporating rapidly in this hell-like environment, Mochou Xing hurriedly relied on his memories of watching movies and his initial impression of Wayne Manor from this afternoon to dash through room after room that was engulfed in flames, quickly approaching the location where Bruce Wayne's servant was.

  Mudanxing knew he had to find the master and servant as soon as possible, or else he would likely be burned to death here, which was absolutely not a situation he wanted to see happen.

  Before long, in a burning living room, Mudstar finally found Bruce Wayne pinned under a beam and Alfred desperately trying to push the beam away, but it was just too heavy for the elderly butler.

  Bruce Wayne was now using all his might to try and shift the beam that had fallen on him, with Alfred's help. But the weight of the beam was just too great, and despite their combined efforts for half a day, the beam didn't budge an inch.

  With Alfred's encouragement of "You work out every day and can't even lift a piece of wood?", Bruce Wayne was about to push the beam off his body when suddenly a pair of strong hands from behind held onto the beam and lifted it up.

  Bruce Wayne suddenly felt the weight of the beam lift off his chest and was quickly tossed aside.

  Bruce Wayne hastily lifted his head and found that he had appeared beside him, with a smile on his face, surrounded by misty steam, looking at himself, Mu Chen Xing.

  Seeing the other risk his life to appear in such an environment to help him, Bruce Wayne and Alfred both gave Dust a grateful smile.

  "Let's go, we're leaving here." Mudan Xing stretched out his hand and helped the injured Bruce Wayne up, preparing to leave this dangerous place that was about to collapse.

  The temperature around us is getting higher and higher. If we don't leave immediately, even if we aren't burned to death, we will suffocate.

  "Quickly, this way!" Alfred hastily led the way forward, and the three of them began to hurry swiftly towards the room with a secret passage.

  Just after they left, the place where everyone was just now completely collapsed in a big fire. If they were still walking slowly, they would have been pressed to death, and that would be a big joke.

  Mudanxing and his two companions rushed through several rooms that were ablaze, finally arriving at another room engulfed in flames. Alfred struck a few special keys on a burning piano, causing a bookshelf on the wall to rapidly open, revealing a hidden secret passageway.

  Without any hesitation, the three of them immediately entered the secret passage. At this time, at the end of the passage, there was an elevator waiting for them. This was now the only escape route for Mu Chen and his friends. He really didn't expect that today he would save Batman once again.

  As soon as Master Dust had helped Bruce Wayne into the elevator, Alfred immediately activated it and sped downwards.

  Just after the elevator had opened, a fierce flame generated by the explosion of the manor house swept through the narrow corridor. At the same time outside, the historic and beautiful Wayne Manor in Goshen City finally collapsed and was destroyed in the merciless flames under the gaze of the guests who had safely escaped to the outside.

  As the elevator hit the bottom with a loud clang, they finally arrived at their destination. At this moment, Bruce Wayne looked up at the raging flames above his head and said with a pained expression: "What have I done?!"

  "Wayne Manor... Father's Legacy..."

  "The spirit of the Wayne family is more than just bricks and mortar!" Alfred immediately consoles him, tending to Bruce Wayne's wounds.

  "I just wanted to save Gotham City... I failed!" Bruce Wayne stared blankly upwards, his family's old mansion having been set on fire. This was no small matter.

  "We fall so that we can learn to get back up!" Alfred continued, with an encouraging smile, consoling the almost hopeless Bruce Wayne.

  Hearing his old butler's words of encouragement, Bruce Wayne gradually began to regain his composure. He turned his head and looked at the resting Mudan Xing, saying sincerely.

  "Mr. Mu, the situation is urgent now, the Ninja Master and Shadow Warrior Alliance are really going to destroy the entire Gao Sen City, I need your help now!"

  Mudeng Xing, who was resting, heard Bruce Wayne's words and looked up at Bruce Wayne's face full of sweat and sincerity, smiled and said: "I'm honored to be able to join forces with Batman against the enemy. And don't call me Mr. anymore, just call me Mud!"

  "Alright, then just call me Bruce from now on, no need to keep calling me Mr. Wayne, it's too formal, we're friends now, aren't we!"

  Smiling as he looked at the two young people in front of him, the old butler said, "Alright, you two! Let's hurry up and go now."

  Dust and Bruce exchanged a smile, stood up at the same time, and followed Alfred's footsteps to move forward. After all, everyone still had important things to do and couldn't continue wasting time here.

  Before long, following the footsteps of Bruce and his servant, Alfred, they finally arrived at the famous Batcave from the movie. This is a huge cave with an internal space that is almost as large as Wayne Manor's area. A river flows through the underground, forming a small waterfall which serves as a natural barrier. In some holes on the surrounding rock walls, bats occasionally fly in and out of their dark habitats, giving people a mysterious and dark feeling.

  In the center of the cave, a platform held that ultra-cool giant batmobile. Nearby in a corner on a workbench, some small machining equipment and bat-suits along with various gadgets were all laid out.

  The current Batcave is still vastly different from the one in Bruce's heart, with the entire cave only having a batmobile and some small machinery for crafting various gadgets, looking very simple.

  The various high-tech gadgets that Mu Xing had seen in several Batman movies were nowhere to be found here.

  The Batcave's various renovations were largely done by Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth themselves, for secrecy reasons.

  But this process also took several years, otherwise just cleaning up would have been enough for the two of them to clean up for a while.

  As for other high-tech devices that appear in various movies, they were installed bit by bit later on. When the Batcave was first discovered, there were only the simplest of devices here.

  "Try this on and see if it fits." The already fully dressed Batman handed a gray garment to Mudanxing, who was carefully observing the surroundings of the Batcave.

  Since Bruce Wayne is going to ask for the help of the Stardust Gang, he will certainly provide them with corresponding equipment for use. After all, this time's opponent is not ordinary.

  "Is this... a bat costume!" Mudan Xing asked in surprise as she looked at the clothes handed over by Batman.

  "This isn't the Batsuit, it's the prototype armor suit of the vanguard team that developed by Wayne Enterprise. The performance is not much different from the Batsuit." Batman explained with a smile, seeing the misunderstanding caused to Mudan Xing.

  In this movie, the combat suit worn by Mo Xingxing is impressive. As a powered exoskeleton developed by Wayne Enterprises for the military, each unit costs as much as $300,000 and was eventually abandoned due to its high price.

  But its function is absolutely worth the price. Full Kevlar fiber, reinforced elbow and knee protection, almost knife-proof, insulated and electrically protected, while having very high comfort.

  Mudan Xing had always envied this outfit when watching movies, but in the real world, there was no such clothing to buy. Even if there were, he didn't have the channel to purchase such an obviously military-use special equipment.

  Under Batman's guidance, Muxin Xing smoothly put on the combat suit. After feeling it for himself, he found that this combat suit had no flaws in hindering his physical movements and was indeed very comfortable.

  At the same time, Batman also took out a set of equipment he used and handed it over to Mochou Xing for use. He personally explained their specific usage methods. At the same time, he also took out an injector needle for him, telling him to administer it before departure, which could prevent the hallucinogenic gas from taking effect.

  Mudustar immediately injected the antidote into his body, he had seen movies and was well aware of the harm caused by hallucinogens, he didn't want to try it.

  After a brief familiarization with the equipment on Mars Dust Star, Batman activated the Batmobile parked in the center of the cave.

  "Let's go, Mù!" Batman, already in the driver's seat, called out to Mù who had just familiarized himself with the equipment. After all, time was extremely pressing now, and they had to seize every second.

  "Here!" Upon hearing Batman's voice, Mudan Xing quickly sat down in the passenger seat of the Batmobile.

  As the engine roared to life, the Batmobile sped off towards Gotham City, which was in grave danger, with Alfred watching as it disappeared into the distance carrying Mudan Xing and Batman.
