Chapter 291: The Lapped Flash
"Be careful, everyone." Flash loudly reminded the Super Heroes present.
"Although I said it in the communication, I still have to say that this guy's speed is indeed faster than mine, and..." Flash took a moment to glance at Yang Le beside him, who was already in a terrible state because of the entire battle.
"The other party's goal should only be one, which is this gentleman beside me. Just now, the other party launched hundreds of attacks at him."
Superman and Martian Manhunter did not speak. Both of them, one relying on super vision and the other relying on Martian senses, had seen what happened not long ago. However, this news was very important to Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.
"Knowing the other party's goal makes it easier." The power ring in Green Lantern's hand lit up with dazzling light. A hollow green sphere enveloped Yang Le. As Green Lantern moved his hand, Yang Le gradually ascended into the high altitude with the sphere, intending to lift Yang Le to an altitude that the other party could not reach.
Cyan electric current flashed. Zoom obviously would not let Green Lantern succeed easily. Before the sphere was even formed, he ran towards Yang Le. However, a golden lightning blocked his inevitable path. It was the Flash.
Just like Green Lantern said, although Barry's speed is not as good as Zoom's now, as long as he knows the other party's goal, Barry can intercept the other party's attack in advance through prediction.
Moreover, Barry had been worried that Zoom would attack the injured Wally and the others before, so he had been holding back some strength. After all, even an uninjured Wally could not catch up to him, let alone Zoom, who was even faster than himself.
So, Barry before had actually been in a passive state. But now it was different. With powerful partners backing him up, Barry could wholeheartedly deal with the enemy in front of him. It could be said that the offense and defense between the two had been exchanged.
One cyan, one gold, two electric currents began to chase each other continuously. Only Superman and Martian Manhunter present could barely keep up with the speed of the two. But even the two of them could only see a blurry shadow.
"Who has the upper hand now?" Wonder Woman retreated to the crowd and asked Superman.
"I don't know either." Superman smiled awkwardly. "I already lost track 3 seconds ago. What about you, J'onn?"
"I'm not sure either." Martian Manhunter shook his head. "I only know that they have already circled Earth several times."
The time it took for everyone to exchange a few words was completely different in the eyes of a speedster. The Flash and Zoom chased each other, already running around Earth for several laps. During this period, the Flash always maintained a distance of three to four body lengths from Zoom. Although the gap was not large, he could never close the distance.
In the eyes of an ordinary person, only about three seconds had passed. But for the Flash, it was already considered a long chase. A trace of doubt inevitably appeared in his heart. What exactly was the other party doing?
Although he was very unwilling, the Flash had to admit that he could not catch up to Zoom at this time. The other party should also know this. Since this was the case, why was he still engaging in this meaningless chase with him?
'No! That's not right!' Barry's pupils shrank. He finally noticed something was wrong. The other party was not avoiding his chase, but accelerating. Through long-distance running, the other party's speed was still constantly increasing.
Barry was not mediocre. On the contrary, he was very smart. Coupled with his extremely fast thinking speed, he could even be considered one of the top wise men on Earth. Barry speculated that the other party's speed had already begun to steadily increase when they were circling Earth for the second time.
The reason why Barry didn't notice was because his own speed was also increasing along with the other party. The two entered a very special state. Through continuous running, the Speed Force was constantly being generated. The Speed Force overflowing from the other party was constantly affecting Barry.
Just like a pacesetter in a marathon, Zoom in front was Barry's pacesetter. Relying on the other party, Barry's speed reached a new level.
But the other party should not have intended this, because Barry found that the other party's speed was climbing faster and faster, and Barry was getting further and further away from the other party.
Three body lengths, four body lengths, five body lengths, out of reach! Until the other party appeared behind him, watching Zoom overtake him from behind, Barry knew that he had been lapped by the other party.
Astonishment, unwillingness, and other emotions burst out in an instant. Barry gritted his teeth and was about to increase his speed again, but a familiar sound rang in his brain.
"Stop! Barry!" Cold and full of majesty, it was Batman's voice.
What? Barry was startled in his heart. He subconsciously stopped his footsteps. He, who should have stopped suddenly as usual, felt a burst of weakness in his legs, and then tumbled out in a rolling and crawling manner.
Fortunately, what awaited him was not the hard and cold ground. Superman rushed to catch him before he landed.
Barry wanted to say thank you, but found that he couldn't even open his mouth. Not only that, but he also felt weakness in his body, and didn't even have the strength to control his fingers.
"Oh my God." Superman looked at the emaciated Barry in his arms and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. In their many years of fighting side by side, it was the first time he had seen his partner in such a miserable state.
A black shadow descended from the sky. Batman looked at the Flash in Superman's arms, who was already unrecognizable in his original appearance. Without hesitation, he immediately took out a strangely shaped agent from his Bat-Belt and stabbed it into the Flash's thigh.
As the liquid in the vials was continuously injected, Barry's eyes slowly closed. Superman activated X-Ray Vision. After confirming that Barry had only fallen asleep, he nodded to Batman.
"He's fine, just fell asleep."
Batman's hanging heart finally relaxed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Then let him sleep. Take him to the Watchtower. He must receive treatment immediately."
Hal and others who arrived one step late were also shocked and angry when they saw this scene. Especially Hal, he asked in a deep voice.
"What happened to him?"
"Flash is fine." Batman stood up and hid his body under his cape. "He just ran for too long and needs to replenish some energy."
"That's good then." Hearing Batman say this, everyone was relieved.
"What about that Blue Guy?" Hal clenched his fists, and the power ring shone brightly. "I'm going to give him some lesson."
"Obviously, the other party has already left." Batman didn't know where he took out another instrument and scanned it around a few times. "And even if the other party is still here, you can't do anything to him. Even Barry can't catch up to him."
"Gather everyone." Batman retracted the instrument. "Bring the person Barry mentioned. Let's go to the Watchtower together."
