"Who knows? But why don't you just ask him yourself after you've taken him down?"

Barry was startled by the thought. He glanced at Deadshot, who was frozen in place, then at his own fist, his eyes darting around.

"how?"

“Uh, I don’t know,” Barry scratched his head. “It’s just that I’ve never punched anyone before. It feels weird.”

"It's very easy, watch me demonstrate."

Shen You walked to the left of the Death Shooter.

"Even the slightest movement at supersonic speeds can cause a powerful impact, so you don't need to worry about power generation or punching techniques. You just need to do it like this."

He extended a finger and lightly touched the Death Shooter's cheek.

Fingertips dug into the skin, and the ripples of the ultra-high-speed impact spread slowly along the tired cheeks.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Shen You stepped aside and smiled. "Give it a try."

Barry looked at his fingers, stepped forward, and eagerly tried.

He followed suit, extending a hand as well, his fingertips wreathed in blue electricity. He slowly and carefully inserted his fingers.

It gently sank into Lawton's face from the other side.

"I can really feel it! The impact of speed, the power at high speed. Unbelievable!"

Barry was overjoyed, like a child excitedly discovering a new toy.

"Isn't this too strong?"

He excitedly circled around Laotun, who seemed frozen in place, poking and poking him here and there. He poked his face, then his stomach, then his thigh.

As a result, Lao Dun was in a bad mood.

For Lawton, who had neither the Speed ​​Force nor super speed, the incident happened the instant he pulled the trigger. He pulled the trigger with his index finger, and the next moment his right cheek felt like it had been hit hard with a hammer. His head instinctively tried to turn to the left, but then he realized that his left cheek had also been hit hard at the same time.

Also included are the shoulders, arms, stomach, back, and thighs.

With a series of bangs, Deadshot twisted and turned in a grotesque manner, then collapsed to the ground as if he had been broken, his eyes wide open.

It felt like I was being surrounded by a hundred burly men, who took turns educating me.

And all of them happen within a fraction of a second!

That's defying the heavens, absolutely defying the heavens.

He must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into such a cheater.

"Wow, that's awesome!" Barry exclaimed in surprise, looking at his hands that were still crackling with electricity.

Shen You silently recorded how the Speed ​​Force energy reacted during Barry's entire sequence of actions. He had a premonition that this valuable data would become a huge help to his research in the future.

Feeling completely disoriented and exhausted, Laotun collapsed to the ground and coughed up blood.

"You...you did all this because of that lightning?" He stared incredulously, as if he wouldn't rest in peace until he got to the bottom of this.

Before the assassination, he carefully reviewed the target's file. Barry Allen seemed to be nothing more than a bookworm with an unhappy childhood, who went to school unremarkably and joined the Midtown Police Department in an ordinary way. The only connection he could make to this bizarre phenomenon seemed to be the electric shock he had received a month ago.

"Uh, maybe, perhaps, I think?" Barry wasn't too sure either.

Lao Dun coughed up another mouthful of blood.

“I have a cousin who was also struck by lightning,” Lawton said, looking indignant. “And then he became a stutterer.”

“Oh, uh, I’m sorry,” Barry said. “Of course, not for you, but for your cousin. As for you? You got yourself into this mess; you’re a criminal.”

"Why did you shoot me, buddy? What did I do to you?"

Lao Dun snorted heavily and stopped talking. Then, dragging his injured body, he suddenly jumped up and slammed a grenade to the ground.

The lightning flashed again, and Barry let out an "Ah!" as he instinctively entered bullet time once more.

"He's trying to throw a grenade! Let's run!"

"Calm down, Barry. You're fast enough to run even if you wait for the grenade to explode. Besides, it's not a grenade, just a flashbang," Shen You, the ruthless data recording machine beside him, reminded him.

"Oh yes."

Barry turned to look at Lawton, who was now in slow motion again, and the flashbang in his hand that had been pulled and was ready to be thrown.

"I suddenly have an idea!"

Barry, his childlike spirit awakened, dashed after him, grabbed the thrown flashbang, and shoved it back into Lawton's hand, then clenched Lawton's fist one finger at a time.

At such high speeds, fatigue is naturally imperceptible. In his field of vision, he only felt himself throw a flashbang, then immediately roll and hide behind nearby cover—a series of actions that were fluid and incredibly cool.

After a roll to his feet, he was surprised to find that the flashbang, which had been pulled from its pin, was still in his hand.

Lao Dun was shocked and instinctively raised his hand to throw it again. However, when he turned his head after throwing it, he found that he was still holding it in his hand.

No matter how you throw it, it will mysteriously teleport back into his hand, like a piece of chewing gum that you can't shake off.

Lawton wore a resigned, defeated expression: "Damn it."

boom!

The flashbang exploded in his hand, instantly blinding Lao Dun in the face.

His mind was foggy, and there was a loud ringing in his ears. As the discomfort gradually subsided and his vision barely returned, he realized that he was completely bound hand and foot.

“Now,” Barry said sternly, “who sent you to kill me?”

Lawton looked at him expressionlessly.

"Not disclosing customer information is a basic professional quality of ours."

But after a pause, before they could ask the next question, Lawton changed the subject.

"However, this is a special case, so it doesn't really matter if I tell you. It's a big, ugly black gorilla."

"what?"

Barry raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, you really need to polish your story. At least come up with something plausible."

boom!

The loud noise drew everyone's attention. Several people turned their heads at the same time, only to see a huge object trailing flames fall from the sky without warning, crashing into the once peaceful Midtown neighborhood.

And not just one. Like countless giant fireballs, they burned the entire sky. Countless meteorites enveloped in flames struck the city's buildings and streets, tumbling mercilessly upon impact, crushing everything like giant steamrollers. Roaring flames and thick smoke filled Midtown, and disaster swept in like a tidal wave.

That wasn't a meteorite, it was a spaceship.

After they landed and came to a stop, they immediately bounced apart with a "crack," and the invaders revealed their ferocious claws from those spaceships.

It's a gorilla.

Countless gorillas descended from the sky aboard meteorite-like spaceships.

Barry was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth, looking down at the city full of gorillas, then at Deadshot, who was bound in front of him.

Lawton curled his lip.

"See? I told you."

Fourth update today, another 9000+ words. That's it, absolutely none left...

Chapter 121 Ape Invasion

Barry is still a novice, and his newly acquired superpowers haven't even warmed up yet. This is the first time he's encountered a situation like this, and he's completely dumbfounded.

A group of talking gorillas descended in a meteorite-like spaceship and suddenly began killing anyone in their path in the Midtown area.

What's going on? Is this Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Barry had no experience with this situation, but Shen You immediately understood what was going on when he saw it.

This is an invasion from Gorilla City, corresponding to the "Gorilla Wars" event in the Flash series.

This isn't some kind of Rise of the Planet of the Apes story; it originates from an ancient ape city in the Flash series. It's said that there's a group of incredibly intelligent gorillas on Earth who are skilled in scientific research and have developed a remarkably advanced civilization.

For years, they carefully avoided the human world and had no contact with humans, until one day a problem arose in the city. An ape named Grood not only fantasized about seizing power and dominating the world, but also dreamed of one day leading the apes to raze the human city and transform the earth into a planet for apes.

Okay, that does sound like Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Grodd is also one of the Flash's main villains. He hates Barry to the core and has repeatedly invaded Midtown and plotted to kill Barry.

But the problem is, The Flash hasn't even debuted yet?

What reason could Barry, who was just an ordinary person until recently, have to attract the attention of these gorillas?

“God, those gorillas, they’re… they’re destroying everything.” Barry looked down from the edge of the rooftop. “We have to do something. We have to.”

What the!?

When he turned around, he saw that Shen You behind him was already fully encased in red and silver armor. The last armor parts were being assembled, the helmet was fitting in, and the dim eyes were shining with golden light.

"You are...you are my God!" Barry's eyes widened. "To be honest, I had a vague feeling that you weren't actually one of the Eyes, but I never imagined you were...you are..."

"It's just a fake identity. I came to Midtown to investigate some things," Shen You said as he walked to the edge of the rooftop, surveying the intrusion situation in the city.

"Of course, you need an identity to enter the crime scene. That wormhole! You were the one who deactivated that wormhole, otherwise we might all be dead."

I know I may have already said this, but I still want to say it again. That move you made back then, that energy shock that suppressed the wormhole? It was absolutely awesome!

"Thanks. But let's focus on the immediate problem first."

“Oh right, right,” Barry took a deep breath and started giving himself a mental boost, “I have superpowers now, I have superpowers now. Charge in, kick those gorillas’ asses, and then quickly get out of there. It should be easy, um, hopefully.”

A bolt of lightning streaked down from the top of the rooftop and raced down the street.

Like a whirlwind, so fast it was invisible to the naked eye. The gorillas were completely unaware of the enemy's approach as the whirlwind and lightning swept through them, striking all of them almost simultaneously.

Even a light touch at high speed can cause a heavy blow, but when Barry throws a punch with all his might, the effect is completely different.

As lightning flashed, the apes were sent flying in all directions. Some were blown into the air and spun around, some crashed into shop windows along the street, and some slammed headfirst into cars parked on the side of the road, sending shards of glass and metal flying everywhere.

Barry made a graceful turn, stopping only after sliding a considerable distance across the ground. Electricity surged through his body.

He wore his coat inside out, and as he passed by the shop windows along the street, he casually grabbed a towel and tied it to his face as a disguise. However, he looked more like a highway robber than a hero.

“Excellent!” Barry clenched his fist. “This will teach you to behave yourselves in the zoo.”
