Iris knew the organization's ruthlessness and the terrifying nature of those "superpower drugs." But in order to uncover the truth, she still decided to take the risk and go to the scene alone, attempting to photograph evidence of the transaction!
She didn't tell Barry or her police officer father, Joe West, about the plan because she didn't want them to worry, and also... wanted to prove herself.
However, she was unaware that her every move was being monitored by Lin Tian and "Zero" through ubiquitous online surveillance.
"What a brave yet... a bit reckless little girl." Lin Tian looked at the figure on the screen, who was sneaking into the port warehouse area alone, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "It seems that my time to make my appearance has come."
……
Late at night in the port area of the central city.
The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, caressed the dilapidated warehouses and mountains of containers.
Iris West, dressed in dark clothes that allowed for easy movement, crouched low and cautiously crept into the shadows.
She clutched a miniature high-definition camera tightly in her hand, her heart pounding with tension and excitement.
According to our intelligence, the transaction will take place in the largest warehouse up ahead!
She took a deep breath and, like a nimble cat, silently approached the warehouse, peering inside through a crack in a broken window.
The warehouse was brightly lit, but completely empty.
Something is wrong!
Alarm bells rang loudly in Iris's mind!
But it was too late!
Wow!
The heavy iron door of the warehouse suddenly slammed shut, trapping her inside!
Immediately afterwards! Blinding searchlights blazed on, engulfing her!
A dozen or so men dressed in black combat uniforms, armed with guns, and with fierce eyes emerged from every corner of the warehouse! They surrounded her!
The leader was a short, stout middle-aged man with a goatee and a sinister grin on his face.
He was the leader of that illegal organization—Benson, nicknamed "The Pharmacist."
Chapter 77 The Phantom of Central City, An Encounter with Iris! Crushing the Villain, Is This Even Human?!
"Hehehe, look what we caught? An uninvited little wildcat?" Benson looked Iris up and down with greedy and lewd eyes, especially at her pretty face and exquisite figure.
"I never expected that the renowned journalist Iris West would be interested in such a 'small business' as ours?"
"Benson! You bastard! Let me go!" Iris tried to remain calm and shouted sharply, "I've already called the police! They'll be here soon!"
"Call the police?" Benson laughed as if he'd heard a joke. "Do you think the police can find this place? And even if they do, what can they do to me?"
He clapped his hands.
A tall henchman next to him immediately pulled out a blue syringe from his pocket, filled with some strange, bubbling liquid!
"Do you know what this is?" Benson said with a sneer. "This is my latest 'Berserk Potion'! Just one injection can give an ordinary person superhuman strength and speed for ten minutes! Although the side effect is that you'll become extremely violent and lose your mind, it's more than enough to deal with the police!"
"As for you..." Benson's smile became even more lewd, "I'm quite curious, what would a beautiful female reporter like you become after being injected with the drug? Would you... become more 'passionate'?"
"You shameless!" Iris trembled with rage, her eyes filled with fear and despair!
She never imagined she would find herself in such a dangerous situation!
I should have told Barry or Dad!
What do we do now?!
Just when Iris felt she was about to be in dire straits!
suddenly!
A leisurely, slightly magnetic male voice rang out at the warehouse entrance:
"Excuse me, is this a movie shoot? It looks quite lively."
Everyone was stunned! They looked in the direction of the sound!
A well-dressed, handsome young man from the East with an almost otherworldly appearance appeared at the warehouse entrance!
He had his hands in his pockets, a warm smile on his face, and his eyes full of curiosity, as if he really was a passerby who had wandered onto a film set.
It was Lin Tian!
He finally made his appearance at the "most crucial" moment that he had meticulously planned!
"Who are you?! Get out!" Benson was stunned when he saw Lin Tian, then flew into a rage! How dare someone interrupt his "good time"?!
He gave his subordinate a wink.
Immediately, two burly men with guns approached Lin Tian menacingly!
"Kid! Get lost if you don't want to die!"
However, Lin Tian seemed completely oblivious to the guns in their hands, maintaining his smile and even taking in the warehouse environment with great interest.
"Hmm, the props are quite realistic, and the actors' expressions are spot-on," he commented earnestly. "However, this lady's acting seems a bit stiff. Didn't the director teach her?"
He pointed to Iris, who was surrounded in the middle and looked terrified.
When Iris saw Lin Tian, she was both surprised and suspicious!
Who is this person? How did he get here? Is he here to rescue me? Or...?
"You're asking for it!!!" The two burly men were enraged by Lin Tian's completely disregard for them! Without hesitation, they raised their guns!
But just as they were about to pull the trigger!
Lin Tian moved eight. 9san964 (four) Lu Lin
No, to be precise, nobody saw how he moved!
It was as if it were just a fleeting moment!
boom!boom!
Two muffled thuds!
The two burly men didn't even have time to scream before they collapsed to the ground like puppets with broken strings, losing consciousness.
Their guns, however, were completely undamaged... and ended up in Lin Tian's hands?!
Lin Tian weighed the two assault rifles in his hands and curled his lip: "Tsk tsk tsk, these outdated gunpowder weapons can only scare ordinary people."
After saying that, he exerted a little force with both hands!
Click!Click!
Two assault rifles made of special alloys! He actually kneaded them like dough! He turned them into a lump of scrap metal?!
Then, he casually tossed the scrap metal on the ground, making a dull thud.
The entire warehouse fell into a deathly silence in an instant!
Everyone stared in disbelief at Lin Tian! At the two twisted lumps of scrap metal on the ground! Their brains seemed to have stopped working!
Crushing an alloy rifle with bare hands?!
Is this guy even human?!
This is simply superhuman!!!
Benson was so terrified that his entire body trembled! The sinister smile on his face had vanished, replaced by extreme fear!
His first instinct was to reach for the "Berserk Potion" in his pocket! He wanted to inject himself and gain power!
But Lin Tian was faster!
His figure appeared before Benson in an instant, like a ghost!
Snapped!
A crisp slap!
Benson's obese body spun around three times like a top! Then he plopped down on the ground! He saw stars! Several of his teeth were knocked out!
Lin Tian didn't even bother to look at him again, as if he had just swatted a fly.
His gaze fell on the henchmen who were equally terrified, holding guns but not daring to fire.
A "kind" smile appeared on his face.
"Everyone, shall we continue filming?"
"No, no, no! I won't do it again! Spare me!"
"We were wrong! We didn't see anything!"
The henchmen instantly collapsed! They dropped their weapons! Knelt on the ground! Kowtowed repeatedly!
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he turned around and looked at the beautiful female reporter who was still in a state of shock and disbelief.
He walked up to Iris, his face once again displaying that charming, gentlemanly smile.
Reach out.
"Beautiful lady, are you alright?"
Iris looked at the handsome face so close to hers, a face that made her heart race, and felt the powerful yet mysterious aura emanating from him.
For a moment, I forgot to answer.
She felt as if her heart had been violently struck by something.
My heart skipped a beat.
After encountering Iris West in a "hero saves the damsel in distress" manner and successfully planting the seeds of curiosity and attraction in her heart, Lin Tian did not immediately proceed with the next step of his pursuit.
He knew that dealing with a smart and opinionated girl like Iris required patience. A suitable sense of distance and mystery would only fuel her curiosity and desire to conquer.
So he politely declined Iris's invitation to have coffee as a thank you, leaving only a meaningful smile and a hint of "see you again" before calmly leaving the chaotic port warehouse district with Wanda and the others.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to have "Zero" remove all the surveillance footage and traces from the scene, and to "anonymously" report the terrified henchmen and the unconscious "pharmacist" Benson to the Central City Police Department.
For the next few days, Lin Tian and his group stayed at a luxury hotel in the city center.
On the surface, they appear to be wealthy tourists and their "female companions," frequenting various high-end venues and enjoying the world's glamour.
But secretly, Lin Tian had been closely monitoring everything happening in Central City through "Zero" and his own spiritual sense, especially events related to the Flash and those superpowered individuals.
He was looking for a suitable "opportunity," an opportunity that would allow him to reappear in front of the Lightning Squad "just in time," further demonstrate his strength, and possibly intervene in the main storyline of this world.
The opportunity came soon.
That afternoon, a large-scale chaos suddenly broke out in the central city's commercial district!
Two figures, one in red and one in blue, like two extremes of ice and fire, wreaked havoc on the bustling street!
The red figure was a burly man clad in heavy protective gear, wielding a massive flamethrower! Wherever he went, flames roared, cars exploded, and buildings burned! It seemed he was about to turn the entire city into scorched earth!
He is none other than the infamous arsonist—Heatwave, Mick Rory!
The blue figure was a man wearing a blue parka and goggles, wielding an equally enormous freeze gun! Wherever he went, a chilling aura permeated the air, the ground froze, and fountains were frozen solid! Even the air seemed to freeze! He was Heatwave's partner, and also one of Central City's most notorious criminals—Captain Freeze, Leonard Snider!
These two guys, for some reason, have teamed up again! And they seem even crazier and more destructive than before! Their target appears to be robbing the largest bank in downtown!
The Flash, Barry Allen, naturally arrived at the scene immediately!
Red lightning flashed between ice and fire, trying to stop the two villains!
But this time, Captain Freeze and the heatwave seem to have been prepared!
They worked together seamlessly! Utilizing the extreme energies of ice and fire, they created an extremely complex battlefield environment!
The absolute zero of the freezing ray can not only drastically reduce the surrounding temperature and affect the Flash's speed, but it can even temporarily "freeze" the Speed Force?!
The heatwave, with its flames reaching thousands of degrees, can not only melt ice and create steam explosions, but also pose a serious threat to the Flash's special suit!
Caught between two opposing forces, Barry is struggling to survive and faces numerous perilous situations!
He had to dodge deadly freezing rays and flames, be careful of the extremely slippery and fragile ground caused by the combination of ice and fire, and also be distracted by rescuing innocent civilians trapped in the fighting zone!
Their speed advantage was completely wasted! Instead, they were nearly hit by the freezing rays or caught in the flames of the explosions several times!
"Hahaha! The Flash! You're dead today!" Heatwave laughed wildly, pulled the trigger, and an even thicker fire tornado swept towards Barry!
