Chapter 122 The Flash's Flanking Man is the Most Deadly

"I can do it. I can do it."

Barry murmured a mantra as if chanting a spell, his eyes flashing with lightning.

What follows is a long sprint!

At that moment, the apes on the street he had targeted were having a great time looting, smashing, and burning, completely unaware of the lightning bolt that had crossed the street.

A series of thuds and thuds followed, and in no time at all, the group of gorillas were beaten so badly they were rolling on the ground, their bodies tumbling over.

The gorilla, who looked like a squad leader, roared, "It's that Son of Lightning! Seize him!"

The gorillas roared and turned to charge at Barry. But Barry remained fearless, his eyes flashing with electricity, his body radiating beams of light.

Then he turned and ran!

Sparks flew and lightning streaked along the way; the retreating figure seemed to say, "Turning back is for fools!"

Sure enough, as long as he ran as fast as he could without looking back, the gorillas' speed was no match for him. In the blink of an eye, Barry had left all the gorillas behind him far behind.

"Tch, weak humans," the gorilla squad leader muttered disdainfully. "Cowards who don't have the guts to face a fight."

With that, he led the gorillas around and continued their rampage of looting, arson, and vandalism.

Then Barry came.

This time, they took a different route, suddenly appearing from a street corner. The gorillas, who were happily smashing things, were completely unprepared. Lightning bolts swept across them, accompanied by a series of supersonic punches and kicks that scattered them once again.

The squad suffered another large loss in an instant. The squad leader was furious, roared, turned around, and led the squad in pursuit.

He fled, it chased, he...

He escaped just like that.

They hadn't gone far when Barry vanished again, leaving a trail of lightning. The squad leader was furious, yelling and pounding his chest, standing on the roof of a broken-down car and frantically pounding his chest with his fists.

"Face me, you coward! If you've got the guts, come at me head-on!"

The group of gorillas behind him also joined him in pounding their chests and roaring in anger.

However, perhaps the roar was too loud and drowned out the commotion, because none of the gorillas noticed. Instead of running away, Barry turned a corner ahead, circled around the nearby building, and emerged from behind them.

So when the squad leader finished venting his anger, he turned around and saw that the team behind him had silently lost half its members.

"Aaaaaah, I want you dead!"

The squad leader was furious and led his team to give chase again. Barry turned and ran without looking back, disappearing in an instant.

The gorillas' eyes widened in horror.

They don't need high intelligence to figure out the enemy's strategy. They just rely on their speed to flank and assassinate the backline. If you turn around to deal with them, they run away. If you engage in a team fight, they'll just come back and auto-attack a few more times.

If you do nothing, your partner will be stolen from you, and if you try to catch them, you can't. It feels like you're itching unbearably but can't pinpoint where the itch is; you're filled with impotent rage but there's nothing you can do.

The elders of the tribe all say that humans are all despicable and cunning, and seeing it today, I can confirm that they are indeed true.

The squad leader's mind raced, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the entire team to halt. They simply stood their ground, monitoring all the passageways and directions around them, ready to face the detestable speedster.

Then they waited and waited.

After waiting for a while, no one else came.

But throughout the orangutan, each one was on edge, barely daring to breathe. It felt a bit like sleeping in the middle of the night when your roommate on the top bunk drops a shoe, and you have to lie there with your eyes open waiting for the second one to fall out until dawn.

"Team leader," a gorilla reported, "the third squad reports that they have been attacked by speedsters."

"How did you get lost there?" The squad leader's eyes widened in disbelief.

So we've been waiting here for nothing?

"."

When the enemy retreats, I advance; when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is ashamed, I strip him naked.

Anyway, that's roughly what Shen You wanted to express.

After trying it out a few times in actual combat, Barry increasingly felt that Shen You was simply a genius. He thoroughly implemented this basic tactical concept: hit and run, targeting those whose backs were turned to him, then running away. It was incredibly exciting.

Moreover, every time he kicked and then turned and ran away, watching those gorillas in slow motion pounding their chests and jumping up and down in anger, cursing wildly but helpless, he felt even more relieved.

Shen You was right.

It can really be addictive once you get the hang of it.

Barry sped down the street, continuing his search for his next target as he ran. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted thick black smoke billowing from the windows of a burning building, where several civilians were trapped and calling for help.

His mind raced, and before the idea even formed, he had already turned around, changed his target, and rushed into the burning building.

A burst of lightning crackled and flashed, each flash revealing a figure. After several flashes, the civilians in the building were astonished to find themselves teleported outside, their faces blank with disbelief, as if they were dreaming.

Looking up, they saw a young man with his face covered, lightning flashing around him, leaning against the wall and panting, giving them a thumbs-up.

"Don't worry, you're all alright. Let me catch my breath first, phew~"

A little girl opened her mouth as if to say something, but Barry smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, no need to thank me. It was nothing, I was just a kind passerby."

"No," the little girl said weakly, "I just wanted to remind you that you seem to be on fire."

"Oh, it's no big deal, not worth mentioning."

Barry narrowed his eyes, suddenly realizing that things were not so simple.

"Wait, what did you say?!"

Turning his head, he saw that the back of his clothes was already on fire, and the flames were spreading rapidly over his body.

Friction generates heat. He was simply too fast, and his protective speed energy field was not yet fully developed during the awakening stage of his ability, so friction with the air caused his clothes to catch fire.

"Shit!"

Barry's expression changed drastically. He cried out in alarm and instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The survivors stared blankly for a long time before an old man waved in the direction he had disappeared.

"Thanks, young man."

Shen You had thought that after passing through this spacetime membrane, the next place might be a similar speed field as before.

But he soon discovered that wasn't the case.

He was in a barren mountain, with a city not far away.

The buildings stand in rows, but their style is completely different from human architecture in any other country or region. Soft and elastic vine-covered pavements, alloy buildings entwined with plants and vines, natural colors and organic lines are blended together.

The people walking through the city streets were all apes.

So this is Gorilla City in DC.

Why is the Speed ​​Force connected to this city?

"Bio-reaction detected within 700 meters," Pal said.

"So close?"

Shen You turned his head to scan and quickly found the heat source behind the dense forest next to him.

They are a group of gorillas.

Several gorillas, their hands bound behind their backs, knelt on the ground. Behind them, a row of gorillas held some kind of gun, pointing it at the kneeling group of gorillas from behind.

It looks like some kind of execution scene.

Two updates today, and an extra update tomorrow.
