Chapter 702 The beast escapes!

twenty minutes later
Five dark shadows quickly came to the Flash. They surrounded the unconscious Barry Allen with serious expressions on their faces.

The leading man slowly placed his finger on the headset and spoke.

"We have located the Flash. Fortunately, he did not rush to the Batcave, but lost consciousness beside the highway outside Gotham City. The specific situation is still unknown. We have contacted the Midnight Doctor."

Just then, a voice came from the side. "Dick, come over here and take a look. I think I found a clue."

Hearing this, Dick, who was communicating with old Bruce Wayne, was attracted. He quickly came to Tim's side and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he saw a charred mark on the ground.

"What is this?" Robin frowned.

"There's no doubt about it. These are the traces left by a speedster when he started. The emergence of the speed force will cause some damage to the surrounding environment, and the charred marks formed by high-speed friction are one of them." Dick squatted down, reached out and touched the marks on the lawn, and said with certainty.

"That means there is another speedster besides Barry Allen here." Red Hood continued Dick's words. "This also explains why Barry Allen lost consciousness here. He must have been attacked in some way."

"But why would the attacker leave the Flash here? He is fully capable of killing him at this moment." Female Robin asked puzzled.

In this regard, the people present could not figure out the reason, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Instead, Tim proposed a hypothesis at this time. "Is it possible that the speedster's target was not the Flash? After all, in a sense, his actions also saved Barry Allen, didn't they?"

Hearing this, Dick nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense, but I'm afraid we won't know the specific situation until Barry Allen wakes up."

After a pause, Tim turned to look at Dick. "Nightwing, do you think it's possible that Zhang Ye is the one who attacked the Batcave?"

"impossible."

Dick shook his head, denying the possibility, and even Red Hood came over and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Ye has no reason to do such a thing. Besides, with his ability, do you think he can escape with just a sonic boom tunnel created by Stark?"

Hearing this, Tim did not say anything, but his anxious heart relaxed a little.
the other side.

At Barry Allen's home, Pietro has informed the Justice Society of the details, and now all the heroes have begun to take action.

Old Bruce Wayne took the command position again and informed all the heroes that an alien visitor pretending to be Zhang Ye was threatening the world, and that the other party also possessed an ability similar to Zhang Ye's portal, which could pull beings from other universes over.

"What is certain is that the two men in white uniforms following the fake Zhang Ye are definitely not people we know." Old Bruce Wayne introduced, recalling the scene at that time.

"From their facial features, the two men look very similar, and they appear to be father and son. The older man has a moustache and is burly. Although I have not fought him, I can feel his explosive power. When he attacked Batman, his strength and speed showed that his fighting power was no less than Kara's."

"Kryptonian?" Pietro frowned.

"We can't be sure yet. There are so many multiverses, and there are many beings similar to Kryptonians. We can't define each other's identities 100%."

Old Bruce Wayne shook his head slightly.

"Can you contact Zhang Ye?"

"There's no way. Zhang Ye seems to have gone to a very special universe this time. The supervisor is unable to observe Zhang Ye's anchor point. In fact, Zhang Ye himself is an existence that cannot be located, and his whereabouts are very unstable, so..." Kara sighed.

Hearing this, old Bruce Wayne's face became a little gloomy. Looking at the three people in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, and then slowly began to tell an event that was buried deep in his heart.

"Before you came here, Zhang Ye returned to this universe alone. At that time, he talked to me about some things about the trade between the two universes, and helped us solve the problem of the Shabak demon."

"I know. Zhang Ye came here for supplies at that time. He also brought a lot of food back to the wasteland." Pietro reacted quickly. That should have been the time when everyone was at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

"Yes."

Bruce Wayne Sr. nodded, then continued.

"But just when Zhang Ye left this universe, I encountered a very strange thing, and I have never discussed this matter with anyone. Since that day, I have never seen Zhang Ye again, and I have no way to verify it with him."

"What's the matter?" Kara frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"It's Barry Allen." Old Bruce Wayne raised his head and stared straight at Kara. "Barry Allen tore the space apart out of thin air and appeared in front of me. He warned me that I must find Zhang Ye."

After hearing what old Bruce Wayne said, everyone present had different expressions and fell into silence, as if they were trying to digest this incredible thing.

"I can't confirm the identity of that Barry Allen. He could be the Barry Allen of this universe, or the Barry Allen who traveled through time, or even the Barry Allen from another universe that we don't know about. That's why I have never told this matter to anyone. I just want to find Zhang Ye to verify it." "What did that Barry Allen say?" Kara asked hurriedly.

"He said that Zhang Ye was the key to everything and told me that I must trust him. At the same time, he warned me that I must find Zhang Ye."

Old Bruce Wayne recalled the situation at that time, a trace of silence flashed across his old face, and his wrinkles knitted together.

"I didn't know what happened at the time, but judging from the other party's condition, I guessed that the trouble would not be small, and it was related to Zhang Ye. I was afraid it should be a catastrophe that could affect the multiverse, so from that day on, I started to prepare.

At first I didn't take it too seriously, because I had already discussed cross-universe trade with Zhang Ye, and I thought Zhang Ye would come back soon, but I didn't expect that Steppenwolf would come faster than Zhang Ye."

"No wonder you just said directly that the person who attacked the Bat Cave was not Zhang Ye. It turns out there is such a connection." Ashley and Pietro looked at each other.

"At this point, I'm afraid we have to go to the Bat Cave. Maybe we can find some clues there."

"But there might also be a trap left by the enemy." Kara blinked.

Bruce Wayne paused and spoke. "So we can't be impatient. Robin and the others have found the location of the Flash, and the Midnight Doctor has also set off. I just gathered Black Adam and others. Once the heroes of the Justice Association gather, we will go to the Batcave together."

After the words were spoken, no one else had any objection to it.

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a rapid alarm came from old Bruce Wayne's wheelchair, attracting everyone's attention.

They knew very well what this alarm meant. It was the Bat Network's security system monitoring the entire world. Once an energy reaction exceeded the danger threshold, an alarm would automatically be sounded to the Bat Network.

"what happened?!"

Pietro frowned.

Old Bruce Wayne did not answer, but directly projected the alarm message from the screen above the armrest of the wheelchair.

next moment.

At the port of Gotham, a huge island slowly rose from the sea.

No, that's not right!

It was not an island at all, but a huge head.

I saw two terrifying pupils slowly open, and then a horrible bloody mouth slowly opened, and sea water flowed down from the gaps between the teeth, looking like a waterfall.

As the monster's neck and body slowly emerged from the sea, its terrifying figure gradually appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, even Kara, who had been calm all along, couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at the projected image. Everyone in the room subconsciously held their breath.

The monster was so huge that the skyscrapers in Gotham were shorter than it. The monster was like a lizard that had been magnified countless times and stood upright. It had dark green skin and was covered with hideous scales.

Judging from the direction it was heading, the other side was obviously preparing to land at Gotham Port.

Suddenly, the wheelchair's communication device flashed a red light, and then Shi Xia's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

(Hey! Bruce, did you see the picture of Gotham Port?!)

"Look, I saw it."

Pietro stuttered a little.

"It's just that I still can't believe it for a while."

(Are you sure this wasn’t done by Zhang Ye?)
Shi Xia's tone was very serious.

"I'm sure, although this ability is very similar to Zhang Ye, it was definitely not done by Zhang Ye. He has no reason to send Godzilla here." Pietro rubbed his temple.

(Okay, I believe you, but now is not the time to talk about this. If Godzilla were to land on land, I'm afraid Gotham City would be doomed.)
"I'll go stop that guy. Pietro, Ashley, you stay here and protect Bruce." Kara spoke without hesitation.

Pietro nodded heavily, and Shi Xia on the other side immediately spoke.

(Black Adam and Shazam are coming soon. Please, Supergirl!)
