American comic: Checking in, Gwen in black stockings rolls her eyes.

"What...what's going on?"

Lin Feng did not answer. He was completely focused on maintaining the invisible barrier, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Meanwhile, in the experimental zone.

Reed, Johnny, and Ben are trying to activate the isolation shield, but the system is responding slowly.

"Damn it, faster!"

Johnny frantically pounded on the control panel.

Reed's fingers flew across the keyboard:

"The system needs time to warm up; we must wait."

I stood to the side, nervously watching out the window:

"I'm afraid we don't have that much time."

Just as the shield was about to activate, the main body of the Cosmic 3.7 Ray Storm swept in, and powerful energy waves impacted every corner of the spaceship.

Reed, Johnny, and Ben were directly exposed to high-intensity cosmic rays.

They collapsed to the ground in agony, and strange changes began to occur in their bodies.

Reed's limbs began to stretch uncontrollably, like rubber.

Johnny's skin began to glow, and then a non-burning flame ignited within it.

.....

230: The Fantastic Four have lost their minds!

Ben's skin hardened rapidly, forming a rock-like appearance.

The three lost consciousness amidst excruciating pain.

In the biological laboratory, Lin Feng maintained the protective shield until the main body of the storm passed.

When everything calmed down, he put his hands down, his face showing exhaustion.

"Are you OK?"

He asked Susan with concern.

Susan nodded, still in shock:

"I'm fine, but... how did you do that? That protective shield..."

Lin Feng shook his head:

"Now is not the time for explanations. We need to check on the other people's situations." 06

The two rushed to the experimental area, where the scene before them shocked them.

Reed, Johnny, and Ben lay on the ground, their bodies undergoing astonishing changes.

Reed's body twisted and deformed like rubber.

Johnny was engulfed in flames, yet miraculously his clothes did not burn.

This creature has completely transformed into a being made of orange rock.

"My God!"

Susan exclaimed and immediately knelt down beside Reed to check his vital signs.

"They are still alive, but their condition is unstable. They need immediate medical attention."

Lin Feng helped Susan transfer the three people to the medical pod, where Susan quickly connected various monitoring devices and began assessing their condition.

"This is incredible."

Susan looked at the monitoring screen.

“Their DNA structure is being reorganized, and the cells are mutating at the molecular level. But strangely, this mutation seems to be ordered, not like random damage.”

Lin Feng stood to the side, his expression serious.

"Cosmic rays altered their genetic structure."

"Yes, but why are we okay?"

Susan asked, puzzled.

"That protective shield of yours... what exactly is it?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath:

“It’s a long story, Susan. I have some… special abilities. I’ve kept this a secret for a long time, but now it seems it’s time to tell you.”

Susan wanted to ask more questions, but the monitoring equipment suddenly sounded an alarm, showing that Reed's heart rate was starting to rise.

"They're waking up."

Susan said.

“We need to be prepared that they may be very confused and panicked when they wake up.”

A few minutes later, Reed regained consciousness first. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

“Susan? What happened? I feel… strange.”

Susan took his hand:

"The cosmic ray storm has arrived ahead of schedule, and the three of you have been directly exposed to high-intensity rays. Your bodies... have undergone some changes."

Reed tried to sit up.

But when he saw his arm stretch several meters like rubber, he cried out in horror:

"What is this?! My hand!"

Johnny and Ben also woke up one after the other, both shocked and terrified by the changes in themselves.

Johnny found himself surrounded by flames.

Ben looked at his arm, which had turned to stone, and let out a painful groan.

"Calm down, everyone."

Lin Feng stepped forward.

"You are still alive, which is a blessing. We need to face this situation rationally."

"reason?"

Ben roared, his voice even more gruff than before.

"Look at me! I've turned into a monster!"

.....

231: Rubber body? Overjoyed!

Johnny tried to control the flames on his body, but to no avail.

"What's going on? Will this continue?"

Reed tried to straighten his arm, but only made things worse; his arm twisted like a noodle.

"Susan."

He turned to Susan, his voice filled with fear.

"Can you fix this? Is there any way to get us back to normal?"

Susan shook her head, tears welling in her eyes:

“I don’t know, Reed. Your DNA has fundamentally changed. I need more time to study it.”

"Won't we turn into monsters?"

"Johnny asked, his voice trembling slightly," he said.

"I mean, the permanent kind?"

Reed took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down:

“We need to analyze what happened systematically. First, we need to understand the changes in our own bodies and see if we can control these new…abilities.”

"Ability々"?"

Ben sneered.

"You call this a power? I look like a damn stone!"

"Ben, calm down."

Susan reassured her.

“We will work together to solve this problem. The most important thing now is to ensure that your vital signs are stable.”

Lin Feng stood aside, observing everything.

He knew this was just the beginning.

The effects of cosmic rays are far more profound than they imagined, and this accident may forever change their lives.

"Everyone."

He finally spoke.

"I know this is hard to accept, but we need to come together now. Whatever happens, we will face it together."

Reed looked at his deformed arm, then looked up at Lin Feng and Susan:

"Why are you all alright? Why were only the three of us affected?"

Susan and Lin Feng exchanged a glance, and Lin Feng nodded slightly.

"This is a complex issue."

Susan said.

"But I think Lin Feng has something to tell us."

All eyes turned to Lin Feng, waiting for him to reveal his secret.

In this time of uncertainty, they need any possible explanation and hope.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said calmly:

"I have some special abilities that allow me to form that protective shield when a cosmic ray storm comes."

"special power?"

Reed frowned, and his arm unconsciously stretched out a little.

"You mean a mutation like ours now?"

Lin Feng shook his head and raised his palm.

A pale blue energy condensed in his palm, forming a small ball of light that floated in the air.

With a slight movement of his finger.

The sphere of light split into several smaller spheres, which spun and hovered in the air.

The entire medical pod fell silent.

Everyone stared intently at the floating orbs of light until Lin Feng (Qian Hao) gently grasped them, and they vanished into thin air.

"this…"

Johnny broke the silence first, flames shooting from his fingertips.

"You've always been able to do this?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Yes, for a long time. I can manipulate energy and form force field barriers, which is why I was able to protect myself and Susan from cosmic rays."

"Why didn't you ever tell us this?"
