"But two people still couldn't stand the hunger and committed suicide."
"To survive, some of them go out to scavenge for food, while others find drugs and rely on the drug's numbing effect to go without food for a day or two."
"Some people are involved in drug trafficking, or theft and robbery."
"As long as I can survive, that's all that matters."
Bai Lang looked at the girl that Harley was holding.
She was pale and sickly, with no flesh on her cheeks, messy hair, and not a clean spot on her body.
The clothes they wore were patched with various towels or socks, making them very large, so they had to work hard to stretch out their hands and feet.
He fell silent for a moment. Compared to the people he had met before, the Night Raven Gang was the least like a gang.
He knew how many people were unemployed in America during the Great Depression, but he didn't know that such a place existed in Gotham.
"Isn't the government doing anything about it?" he asked Harley Quinn, who was standing next to him.
"Do you think they would have turned out this way if Mayor Hardy were truly effective?"
Chapter 39 The Ventriloquist
"What do you plan to do?" Bai Lang asked.
“I’m also looking for solutions, but the ways to ensure they all survive this winter... are all written in the law.”
Harley Quinn shrugged helplessly, her tank top almost falling down.
"Chief Bailang, after hearing what you said last time, I've decided to be my true self again. I want to try everything in this world..."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, and her face seemed to be about to display that manic smile again.
"Life is short, I want to do something meaningful, I want to rape everyone..."
Seeing that she was about to fall into that crazy state again, Bai Lang quickly grabbed her arm and sent a current through his body to stimulate her.
Harley trembled violently from the electric shock, her eyes rolling back in her head.
It took her a while to recover.
She looked at Bai Lang, panting, and asked, "Chief Bai Lang, what was that just now?"
"Stun gun".
"Can I take a look?"
"No." Bai Lang shook his head.
How can you easily show this to others?
He looked at the group of Night Ravens in front of him; some of them seemed to be suffering greatly from drug addiction, their faces contorted in rage.
Some people, on the other hand, seemed to have given up on themselves, just drifting through their days here, numbly staring at the sky.
But some people still carry around a tattered physics book, and if given the chance, they will leap over the dragon gate and escape this swamp.
As Bai Lang observed, a sallow-skinned, thin man stood up from beside the man who was looking at a physics book and then walked over.
"Boss, Mike stole a necklace. We can have a good meal tonight."
Although he was thin, his face was full of excitement.
Harley nodded and looked at the young man reading the physics book.
"Great! Mike is very good! Now we can all eat bread and porridge for half a week!"
Bread porridge is a food made by crushing hard bread and then cooking it in hot water until soft.
Bai Lang turned to the excited Harley and said, "I'll allow you to steal some things from the rich people's cars on Park Street to supplement your income."
"But Harley, you need to teach them some professional skills, and they can't touch drugs anymore. It would be best to help them quit."
"I will ensure that they all survive safely and live well."
Harley had just finished being excited when she received this other good news.
She looked at the Asian youth in front of her with some surprise.
"Chief Bai Lang, are you serious?"
For some reason, she felt that the person in front of her had undergone a subtle change.
“I promise,” Bai Lang replied.
......
Since Harley is the leader of the Night Ravens, it will be easier for White Wave to carry out his plan.
There were thirty-eight people in the Night Ravens, including thirteen women aged 26-38, fourteen men aged 12-48, and the rest were children under ten years old.
They come from all races and ethnicities, and the most educated among them is a college graduate who has worked as an accountant in a small company for a few years.
He still owes the bank for his student loans.
Bai Lang planned to have them steal valuables from the cars of some wealthy people to solve their basic needs.
During this process, they need to quit drugs and learn some knowledge content that Bai Lang has planned for them.
When the time was right, Bai Lang decided to go to the police station to collect his annual salary to transform the gang that lived on the vacant land of the unfinished building.
As the sun sets in the west, time slowly passes by, and soon night falls.
A few dark clouds hung high in the sky, obscuring the moonlight.
The rain was continuous and heavy, dripping onto the rooftops of the high-rise buildings and then flowing down the solid walls made of reinforced concrete.
It flows along the roadside, past low houses, until it finally flows into the sewer.
On Arkham Island, not far from the main city, the bat symbol has already appeared in the sky.
In Gotham City, White Wave, dressed in a Batman suit, stands atop Wayne Tower, overlooking the entire city.
In the past few days, the real Batman, Bruce Wayne, has gone to Arkham Island to protect Dr. Arkham from being assassinated by the Court of Owls.
Gotham is protected by his fake Batman, White Wave.

A light blue notification box appeared in front of Bai Lang.
He knew why; his image, dressed in the Batman suit, had been captured on surveillance cameras.
Suddenly, two Batmen appeared in Gotham.
Bai Lang ignored all of that; he needed to improve his abilities so that he could protect himself in the events to come.
Changing Gotham also requires immense power.
If a person with a strong magnetic field does not possess the Dao, their strength will increase very slowly.
The Tao is the belief and pursuit deep within Haihu's worldview.
If one does not find their own path, it will affect their growth in power and their ultimate achievement.
Therefore, to become a strong person, one must find one's own path.
His previous conversation with death also made him realize that his true nature was human.
These past few days, Bai Lang has been pondering what his own path truly is.
Now, he has realized that his path is to enable people at the bottom of society to live well in this city.
May humanity prosper and flourish.
He stood atop the building, looking down below.
A crime was unfolding somewhere, and Bai Lang suddenly moved.
A dark shadow tore through the air and hurtled down.
......
Uptown, Gotham City.
With pale skin and exaggerated makeup similar to the clown's, members of the clown gang were indiscriminately firing handguns in the street.
Glass was shattered into pieces, and stone chips were scattered everywhere.
Bullets flew haphazardly, and the group didn't care even when they hit their own comrades.
It was as if tonight was their party.
Bai Lang, dressed in a Batman costume, landed steadily on the road that had been riddled with craters from being shot.
Several bullets tore through the air from different angles and shot straight toward him at incredible speed.
But in front of Bai Lang appeared a thin wall of electric current defense constructed of golden-red lightning.
The iron bullet, carrying immense kinetic energy, struck the golden-red electrical wall.
Almost instantly, the hard bullet turned into a pool of molten iron and fell to the ground.
Bai Lang stomped hard on the ground, and a small pit with a diameter of three centimeters suddenly appeared on the hard cement floor.
Meanwhile, his figure kept flashing around the Joker gang members.
"A bat...it's a bat?!"
"Hahahaha!! Bat, I'm going to take care of... uh..."
"..."

In a matter of moments, Bai Lang subdued all the members of the Joker Gang.
With his current strength, he is invincible unless he uses some large-scale firearms.
But before he could even stop and rest for a few minutes, another violent explosion was heard not far away.
Bai Lang handcuffed the Joker gang members together, then dragged the dozen or so people and ran wildly toward the explosion site.
The explosion occurred at a bank, and several police officers who remained in Gotham City had already arrived at the scene.
Bai Lang handcuffed a group of Joker gang members next to the police car, then nimbly walked inside.
