Midtown is located at the mouth of an inland river, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, although the city is not large, but its unique location gives it a natural harbor, during the day workers through the wharf, export grain, timber, pulp and industrial and mineral products and other goods, when the traffic is flowing, a busy scene, and at night, the lively port quiets, workers, passengers and seafarers are all gone, countless containers of steel hills stand quietly under the light of cold lights, it looks extremely empty and depressing.

When the Flash Barry rushed all the way from the city into the container terminal, he undoubtedly had similar feelings, there was no unexpected worker fight, the wind and waves in the harbor were calm, the whole world fell silent, and he seemed to have become the last human in the world.

“What about people?” Barry stopped and looked around, but never found a clue, and he had to go to the lab for help.

“Sisko, can you use satellites to help me remotely sense the thermal energy index of the port area, am I already late?”

In the laboratory, Sisko bit the plate, quickly operated his hands on the keyboard, used the central control system to bring up multiple pictures, and quickly found the suspicious target.

Following the rear prompt, Barry moved quietly, and soon came to a small square in the center of the yard, walking out from the narrow path between the containers on both sides, and in front of the same mountains of boxes, they blocked the lights and blocked Barry’s vision, until he entered the square, the vision became clear.

There were no workers in the square, and there were no traces of fierce | fighting, only dozens of wooden frames made of wood burning with a roaring bonfire, the light of which swayed erratically in the night breeze, shining until the edge of the square, making the small half of the sky faintly shining red.

“Is this a prank?” Barry walked to the campfire, feeling the temperature of the flame, and his heart was full of doubts.

Just when he was dazed, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind him.

“Good evening, Flash, I’m Speed.”

Barry turned his head sharply, and in the bright firelight, a looming black shadow stood quietly behind him, surrounded by blue lightning.

“I’m going to make a deal with you to help me gain the power of Godspeed, and in return, I’ll unlock the secret of your mother’s murder for you.”

Ross stood in the dark, his eyes fixed on the shocked Flash, and casually pressed the prepared miniature device.

***

Midtown Cutting-edge Labs.

“Ugh!” Sisko yelled and dropped the plate, ripping off the headphones on his head as quickly as he could.

“EMP attack, that guy burned our communicator!” He rubbed his ears desperately, as if his eardrums had been completely torn apart by the metallic whistling sound just now|

“Who is Speed, how does he know Barry’s identity, is there something he doesn’t want us to know?” Caitlin opened her eyes as clear as the sea and asked a series of questions.

But no one could answer her question, the electromagnetic pulse sent by Ross lasted less than a second, but burned all the nearby appliances, and now no one knows what they are doing except him and the Flash.

“I don’t know what nonsense he wants to make up, but he must be trying to deceive Barry and take advantage of the ignorance and impulsiveness of young people!” Harrison was so annoyed by the unexpected event that he simply pulled off his glasses and threw them the workbench.

With a crisp sound from the glasses colliding with the sleek tabletop, Harrison calmed down again and quickly found a way to strain.

“Sisko, the radius of destruction of the miniature electromagnetic bomb will not exceed two hundred feet, beyond this range, the power of electromagnetic waves will decrease geometrically, I want you to transmit the compressed signal to the satellite, and play it repeatedly through the speakers on the edge of the harbor area, Barry will definitely hear our warning.”

“Don’t catch the intruder, I see this speed is very suspicious…” asked Sisko, covering his ears.

“There’s nothing more important than protecting Barry, get to the point, now!” Harrison slapped the armrest of his wheelchair and yelled at his young assistant.

Sisko shrunk his neck and quickly did what his employer said, and with Caitlin’s cooperation, they quickly cut into the Minato system and mastered the frequency of the loudspeaker.

Ten seconds later, Harrison’s voice echoed above the entire pier, and he demanded that the Flash immediately disengage and return to base.

Barry heard, a look of struggle under the red mask.

“I’m sorry, I can’t grant your request… But if you really know the secret of my mother’s murder, I ask you to tell me the truth of the matter. ”

Barry’s mother died mysteriously when he was a child, and his father was imprisoned as a murderer, when he saw a red and yellow lightning bolt entangled | chased at the scene, but he didn’t know what the situation was, and then Barry was adopted by police Joe West and became a police forensic analyst in adulthood, and his ordinary life seemed to be his future, until one day, the high-energy lightning caused by the particle accelerator accident in the cutting-edge laboratory hit his body, and since then Barry has gained amazing speed and is known as the Flash.

In this process, he has not given up the investigation of the real cause of his mother’s death, and there has been some progress during the period, but he has never been able to find a truly valuable clue, and now the rapid appearance has given him a glimmer of light, and Barry will definitely not give up easily.

It’s just that Ross will not give up either, and he directly refused the other party’s request.

“There is never anything without cost, if you want to get, there should be giving, I have expressed goodwill, and if you do not seize the opportunity, there will be no such good luck next time.”

The blue light flashed, and Ross disappeared.

“Wait!” Barry yelled and rushed out after him.

The deserted port area flashed by, and the two chased all the way, almost rushing into the downtown area at the same time.

In front of the two speedsters passing by at high speed, the tall buildings did not create any obstacles, and they stepped on the vertical walls and rushed towards the starry night sky as if stepping on flat ground.

Everywhere they passed, glass windows shattered, leaving countless terrified screams behind them, pedestrians on the streets were frightened by the rain of transparent debris falling from the sky, and reporters who heard the news were emboldened and pointed their cameras at the sky.

Two lightning bolts, one blue and one yellow, hovered and entangled above|, and they continued to swim | the edge of the wall at the | end of the building, jumping back and forth like an electric light flashing in the void, and as the light and shadow changed, the continuous sonic boom formed by the running of the two spread far away in the vast night.

At this time, the street at the feet of Ross and Barry had been blocked by a large number of police cars, and the heavily armed police separated the pedestrians to avoid causing more damage, in addition to anxiously waiting for the two warring sides to divide the victory.

At the | end of the building, the Flash has run the fastest speed in his life, but it is still difficult to touch the other party’s body.

At first, when he was in Minato, Barry was still on par with Ross, and he was still a little competitive, wanting to accelerate at full strength, use his strengths to beat the opponent in speed, force the other party to stay, and tell him the truth of the matter.

At that time, Ross’s avatar was only two feet away from the Flash, and it seemed that with just a little more strength, he could grab his shoulder as soon as he reached out.

He continued to accelerate, desperately catching up, and when he reached the center of the city, Barry was surprised to find that the gap between him and the other party had not narrowed at all, and remained at about two feet, as if measured with a ruler.

“I’m the fastest man in the world, and I won’t lose to extreme speed!” Barry’s inner frivolity faded, and the desire for victory regained the upper hand.

Stepping on the wall of the building, the two charged to the ground one after the other, under the action of speed close to the speed of sound, the invisible wind pressure washed the surface of the building like a raging flood, and the smooth wall panels were torn to shreds, and the solid concrete layer below was also cut by the consequent | hot air flow to cut countless deep scratches.

When they were about to approach the ground, Ross and Barry jumped at the same time, turning into two streamers and disappearing from the heads of many policemen.

With his feet on the ground again, Barry suddenly felt an indescribable cheerfulness in his heart, and the cool evening breeze hit his face, forming a strange sense of comfort, in this feeling, the Flash’s self-confidence swelled infinitely, as if the whole world was under control.

“This feeling is awesome!” Barry thought to himself, increasing his speed one last time and rushing towards his extremely fast opponent.

Just when he was about to touch his opponent’s shoulder, Ross suddenly avoided Barry’s arm, and lightly dipped a miniature signal transceiver of the same color as Barry’s suit on his waist with his backhand, and then the lightning that was full of practice suddenly bloomed brightly, stimulated by the strong light, Barry instinctively squinted his eyes slightly.

When he regained his vision, he found that the opponent who suddenly accelerated disappeared, disappearing like a watery night.

Barry stopped, bent over and stood in the middle of the road panting violently| breathlessly.

More than ten minutes later, he appeared in the cutting-edge laboratory.

“So, you lost your speed?” Sisko asked with his fists clenched, his expression very unhappy.

“I can’t help it, he’s so fast, it’s faster than the man in yellow who hurt my mother, if it weren’t for the different colors of lightning, I might really think it was what he did.” Barry took the plate from Caitlin and described his experience tonight as he ate dinner.

“Did he say when he would come to you again?” Caitlin asked as she dragged a chair and sat next to her.

“I don’t know, he didn’t say anything, but I’m afraid he won’t retreat so easily next time.” Barry shook his head, ate a few bites of food, barely filled his stomach, and then together with Sisko and Caitlin, he was sent back to rest by the expressionless Harrison.

When the young men had left, Harrison Wells slowly walked down the promenade back to the bedroom.

“Extreme speed…?” He secretly read Ross’s code name, and his heart was uncertain.

“Whoever you are, don’t try to ruin my plans.” Harrison thought in annoyance.

When he left the control center, after another period of time, the hard disk of the main computer of the central control center suddenly rang slightly.

Invisible radio waves quietly took over the central system of the cutting-edge laboratory through the miniature emitters on the Flash’s suit.
