Chapter 300 The Flash is missing and the rogue gang takes action

Although it is unknown whether the Flash in this universe has cooperated with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow at Star Labs, it is not a bad thing to let Hancock investigate.

More importantly, like the citizens of Central City, Roy was also curious as to why the Flash didn't show up today.

"Okay, sir!"

Hancock replied immediately.

As the top laboratory in Central City, it is not easy to invade the database of Star Laboratory.

Of course, it is not difficult for Hancock, who is an artificial intelligence, to go anywhere.

Sisko is indeed a very good scientist, but this does not mean that the firewall he deployed can stop Hancock.

In other aspects, Hancock may not be as good as Sisko.

But when it comes to network intrusions, Hancock is definitely better than Sisko.

Interstellar Laboratory.

Cisco and Caitlin looked at the reports about the bank robbery with sad faces.

When the first bank was invaded, the early warning system set up by Cisco sent a reminder.

The warning was received, but he could do nothing.

It's not that he doesn't want to notify Barry the Flash, it's just that he can't contact Barry at all now.

To be precise, he didn't even know if Barry was still in this world.

Just half an hour before the robbery, Barry was doing daily training on the super treadmill built by Sisko called the "Cosmic Treadmill."

Although the Speed ​​Force gave Barry super speed far beyond ordinary people, this does not mean that Barry does not need training.

In order to better deal with the endless stream of superhuman crimes, Barry and Cisco jointly developed a series of training plans, intending to further improve their speed through training.

This is not the first time Barry has trained on the cosmic treadmill.

But they never thought of it.

It is such a proven daily training that unexpected surprises will occur that no one expected.

At the beginning, the training went very smoothly, exactly as planned.

However, when Barry began to further squeeze himself and increase his already amazing speed, an accident happened.

Barry, who was running wildly, disappeared!

To be precise, he disappeared into thin air under the watchful eyes of Sisko and Caitlin.

This sudden accident completely disrupted the planned training plan.

To make matters worse, before Sisko could figure out what was going on, the early warning system sent an alarm that the bank had been robbed.

Because Barry disappeared inexplicably, Cisco and Caitlin could only watch as the robbers walked away with the cash.

After seeing guests and commentators on the news begin to criticize The Flash, Cisco only had two thoughts in his mind.

One is regret.

The other is unwilling.

He was upset because he felt that Barry's disappearance was his mistake.

He and Barry worked out the training plan together, and he also built the cosmic treadmill.

In his opinion, if he could carefully check the cosmic treadmill and Barry's physical condition before training, Barry would not disappear inexplicably during training.

As for his unwillingness, it was because he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

If he also had superpowers, then even if Barry was not around, he would be able to stop the robbers and would not have to watch the robbers walk away.

In the past, Sisko always felt that even if he did not have superpowers, he could still solve crisis situations with his wisdom.

But now, he found that his proud wisdom was of no help in the face of a sudden crisis.

Although Caitlin also has a sad look on her face now, unlike Cisco, she is not upset or unwilling.

She only cares about one thing now, and that is whether Barry is safe now.

Neither Cisco nor Caitlin spoke. In the huge laboratory, there was only the sound of news reports.

Time passes little by little.

Just when Caitlin was thinking about comforting Cisco and encouraging him to cheer up again, an alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

The sudden siren immediately drew Sisko's attention back to the real world.

Without any hesitation, Sisko quickly came to the operating table.

"Damn it!"

After seeing what was displayed on the screen, Sisko immediately cursed.

"What's wrong?"

Caitlin asked.

"Hackers invaded the lab!"

While answering Caitlin, Cisco's hands were tapping furiously on the keyboard, trying to prevent the hacker from intruding.

Although his IT skills are better than most people, and even no weaker than some network security experts, the expression on his face is still becoming more and more ugly.

Can't stop it!

Sisko tried his best, but still couldn't stop the hacker's intrusion.

The firewall he installed was as if it didn't exist in front of unknown hackers, and was easily breached by the hackers.

What's worse is that this unknown hacker not only forcibly broke into the laboratory's internal network, but also cracked the laboratory's core database at an alarming speed.

At today's speed, the laboratory's core database will be completely breached in less than a minute.

At that time, all confidential information stored in the laboratory can be browsed and copied at will by the other party.

After realizing that the level of hackers was several levels higher than his own, Cisco gave up trying to prevent the other party's intrusion on the network and ran to the main switch of the laboratory.

Although he doesn't know who the hacker is who has invaded the laboratory now, he is certain of one thing, that is, the other party can only break through the laboratory's firewall on the network.

Since you can't stop the other party on the Internet, you can use physical interception.

After running to the main switch, Sisko immediately pulled the switch without any hesitation, cutting off the power supply to the laboratory.

As the switch was turned off, the originally brightly lit laboratory suddenly became dim, and all networks were forcibly cut off.

After confirming that the entire laboratory was powered off, Sisko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

hotel.

Presidential Suite.

living room.

"Sir, the people from Xingchen Laboratory forcibly cut off the power supply and did not have time to invade the core database."

Hancock's voice immediately sounded.

Power outage to prevent hackers?

After hearing Hancock's words, Roy smiled and shook his head.

Then, he slowly said:

"Since the other party has used the power-off method to prevent you from invading the laboratory, you should also give the other party a small gift."

"Invade the city's main power grid and cut off the power supply to the Star Laboratory from the source."

"As for invading the database, they should take the initiative to cut off the external Internet to prevent you from continuing to intrude."

"Just disconnect them from the city power grid. Let's look for opportunities to invade the database later."

Although he failed to actually invade the Star Laboratory's database, Roy didn't take it too seriously.

Letting Hancock invade the database of Star Laboratory was just a temporary idea and not a particularly important matter.

A successful invasion would be the best, of course.

If you fail, it’s no big deal.

"Okay, sir."

Hancock replied immediately.

…

the next day.

Roy and Harley, who didn't get up until noon, came to the hotel restaurant to have lunch.

Because The Flash didn't show up, they had no plans to go out to experience Central City's customs and customs last night. Instead, they stayed in the hotel to discuss life dreams and the origin of the universe.

While Roy was tasting the Central City delicacies in front of him, he chatted with Harley wordlessly.

Today, Harley rarely put on serious clothes, wearing an expensive light blue women's suit.

Although women's suits are not as sexy and hot as shorts, black stockings and navel-baring suits, they still have a certain charm.

Just as they were discussing where to go after lunch, an emergency news broadcast came on the TV in the restaurant.

Or a bank robbery.

The only difference is that the people who took action this time were not unknown ordinary robbers, but famous gangsters.

More importantly, what the gangsters robbed this time was not an ordinary bank, and what they took away was not cash, but a large pile of gold.

After seeing this urgent news, Roy frowned slightly.

Although the gangsters in the comics often rob banks, it seems a little strange that the gangsters would come out to rob gold at this time.

The timing is a bit too coincidental.

An unusual group robbery just happened yesterday, and today a gang of rogues came out to steal gold.

Although this is indeed what rogue gangs do, Roy's intuition tells him that things are not that simple.

But he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong now.

"The security here seems worse than Gotham."

After seeing the emergency news being broadcast, Harley started complaining directly.

"Compared to Gotham, the security here is still good."

"At least the gangsters here didn't come out to fish in troubled waters last night."

Roy replied.

If it were in Gotham, when the police's attention was diverted elsewhere, gangsters would definitely take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and do things that are usually inconvenient to do.

As for the gangsters in Central City, not only did they not fish in troubled waters last night, they also abided by the rules.

"This is only temporary."

Harley said with certainty.

Roy did not refute Harley and nodded in approval.

After lunch, Roy and Harley returned to the presidential suite to rest for a while.

Then, he drove away from the hotel.

In order to find out where the Flash had gone as soon as possible, Roy decided to go to the Star Laboratory to find out personally.

He asked Hancock to investigate yesterday, and Barry Allen did not go to work yesterday.

In addition, judging from the surveillance cameras near Star Laboratory, he can basically conclude that The Flash is cooperating with Cisco and Caitlin from Star Laboratory just like in the TV series.

In addition, he also asked Hancock to conduct a detailed investigation on Harrison Wells, the director of Star Laboratory.

After Hancock's investigation, Harrison Wells was clean.

In the TV series, Harrison is the Reverse-Flash.

But judging from the data investigated by Hancock, the Harrison of this universe is not Reverse Flash.

In other words, Reverse-Flash Albert Swann did not pretend to be Harrison.

The reason why Roy can be so sure.

The reason is simple.

Harrison was killed on the day the particle accelerator at Star Labs had an accident.

A few days after Harrison's death, his family came to Central City, cremated his body, and left Central City with his ashes.

Since then, the position of director of Xingchen Laboratory has been vacant.

Except for Sisko and Caitlin who still stayed at Star Labs, the other researchers either resigned and moved to Mercury Labs or left Central City.

In addition, due to the particle accelerator accident and Harrison's death, the sponsors of Star Laboratory also canceled their sponsorship.

Although Xingchen Laboratory still bears the name of the laboratory, the current laboratory does not conduct any scientific research.

In other words, Cisco and Caitlin currently have only one research subject, and that is The Flash Barry Allen.

Of course, assisting The Flash in fighting criminals is now Star Laboratory's main business.

The Star Laboratory, which was originally bustling with people and regarded as the hope for the future of Central City, turned into an abandoned building with few people after the accident at the particle accelerator.

Although there are still a lot of experimental instruments in it, and there is still a lot of funds in the account to keep the laboratory going, but now that there are no directors and other researchers, the Star Laboratory has become Cisco and Caitlin.

's studio.

With their abilities, they could have switched jobs to other laboratories, but they did not do so, but stayed on in the form of "wasting their time".

After parking the car in the empty parking lot in front of the laboratory building, Roy took Harley into the laboratory.

Most of the facilities in the building are closed, and except for the core laboratory and a few material warehouses, everything else is locked.

Not only that, because there are no cleaning staff responsible for daily cleaning, traces of the accident can still be seen inside the building.

Fallen tables and chairs, broken walls and windows, scattered documents, etc.

Maybe it's because Sisko hasn't digested the "little gift" Hancock left yesterday, or maybe because Sisko doesn't intend to reconnect to the city power grid, most areas in the building are still out of power.

Although it was his first time here, Roy easily locked onto the locations of Cisco and Caitlin with his knowledge and domineering attitude, and took Harry to the core laboratory of the building.

"Stop, if you move again I will shoot you."

As soon as they entered the core laboratory, Sisko emerged from the corner, pointing a strange pistol at Roy and Harley.

Unlike Cisco, Caitlin did not point a gun at them, but she still had a vigilant expression on her face.

"Relax, we are not bad people."

Roy said calmly.

"Who are you and why do you come to the laboratory?"

"Don't say I didn't remind you. The gun in my hand is very powerful and can easily penetrate a wall. You'd better not act rashly."

Sisko said loudly.

"Yeah?"

"Then I would like to see if this gun is really as powerful as you say."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy appeared in front of Sisko and took the strange-looking black pistol in his hand.

Before Sisko could speak, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the wall next to him and decisively pulled the trigger.
