Chapter 440: Cold Wind Prologue (Part 2)

"Someone betrayed our location to the agents."

Bruce said, he helped Clark up and let him lie on the bed, then explained: "Just now, Lex and I were chased, I went to save him first, and then came to you."

Before Clark asked, Bruce continued: "He is weaker than you. When I got there, he had been knocked unconscious by the agents."

"Are these agents crazy?!"

Clark asked very puzzled, Bruce still said in a deep voice: "At first, they may think that we killed Benjamin, so it is not surprising that they chased us."

"But now, it is obvious that someone has bewitched them. That is a madman who is best at inciting people's hearts. They have completely turned the agents into our enemies. Now the situation is a little out of control."

"In other words, they are really crazy." Clark concluded.

"I..." Clark was about to say that he could take this group of people away from here, but Bruce seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say, and he still said in a low voice:

"Didn't you notice? There is some kind of power affecting this manor, and everything here is starting to become a little abnormal. I will find out everything, otherwise this abnormality may affect the entire metropolis."

"I wanted to say it a long time ago." Clark hesitated, sighed, and said: "I feel a little uncomfortable, just like when I first came here."

"Under what circumstances do you feel this way?" Bruce asked with a frown.

"I don't know, I have never been sick before, my body has always been healthy, and I have never felt this way." Clark said very puzzled.

"That proves that there may be something wrong underground in the manor." Bruce touched his chin and speculated: "Lex told me before that his father knew that there might be evidence of secret human experiments conducted by previous mayors underground in the manor."

"This kind of human experiment may be related to radiation, that is, there may be a huge radiation source underground."

Clark immediately sat up from the bed and said, "We have to find this thing! We can't let it affect the citizens of Metropolis!"

"Now, that group of agents regard us as enemies. They are searching for us throughout the manor. There are many of them, and each of them has weapons."

"I am not afraid of them. No matter where I encounter them, I can escape, but you and Lex can't. I can't leave you alone, because that madman has bewitched the agents, and they may kill you."

"I... Actually, I just need to lie down for a while." Clark was still trying to sit up from the bed. He didn't want to be the one who dragged his feet, but soon he found that things were getting worse and worse.

His strength was indeed recovering, but after reaching a certain level, the recovery speed slowed down, and the range of biological positions was the same, that is, the upper limit of his ability was temporarily weakened.

"It has been exactly two hours since you first became weak. I guess the radiation under the manor may be periodic." Bruce reasoned very seriously.

"I have a bad feeling." Clark's face also became serious. After recovering a little strength, he sat up from the bed. He shook his head and seemed a little silent. It seemed difficult to explain to Bruce the source of his intuition.

At this moment, a series of noises came from the corridor again, which sounded like running footsteps. Bruce walked to the door, opened the door a little and took a look, and found that the agents were running down the stairs in groups.

"We have to leave here. Do you still have strength?"

Bruce pulled off the bed sheet, twisted it into a rope, and then went into the bathroom and tied the knot to the water pipe.

Clark hesitated, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder, so when Bruce jumped out of the window and came to the windowsill downstairs, Clark also walked to the window.

Bruce looked up at him, as if silently urging him, but Clark did not pull the sheet, but flew out directly in Bruce's surprised eyes.

Although he was still weak, it didn't take much effort to fly out of the window, and he only needed to go down two floors, so the landing was also very stable. Clark turned to Bruce next to him and said, "Okay, I admit that I have some abilities beyond ordinary people."

Just then, a window on the two floors above them was opened, Lex's head poked out, and then threw a roll of rope to them. Bruce grabbed the rope, jumped, came to the balcony on the side, and then stepped on the wall to go up.

Clark made a gesture on the spot, he looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he took off on the spot and flew directly to Lex's room.

Lex looked at Clark, then at Bruce, and said, "...He is indeed your helicopter engine." Bruce ignored him and walked directly to the center of the room. He looked at the furnishings here and found that this room had not been modernized. It looked like a servant's room that had been abandoned for a long time.

"You need to go through the secret passage downstairs to get here. It's not easy to walk there, so it's safe for the time being." Lex held the window frame and looked out the window. The yard of the manor was full of agents.

Clark walked forward and said anxiously: "We have to think of a way quickly to find the thing that may be radioactive, and we have to resolve the misunderstanding between the agents..."

Lex frowned, revealing a trace of hostility between his eyebrows. He said: "Resolve misunderstandings? There is no misunderstanding between me and the dead."

"You... you want to kill them all?" Clark widened his eyes, as if he heard something incredible. He stammered: "This... this is not necessary? Even if... but..."

"Did they hold back when they shot at you? They wanted to kill me, why can't I kill them?"

Lex reached out and touched the back of his neck. There was still blood on it. He was injured by the agents before.

He walked up to Clark, stared into his eyes and said, "Because you are so strong, these ordinary people can't hurt you. Of course, you can pretend to be generous and forgive them."

"But if Wayne hadn't arrived in time, I would have died in their hands. I'm just taking revenge."

Clark looked at him and was silent, because he knew that Lex was right, but he still resisted killing people.

Except for Clark, the other two had no intersection on their faces, because they knew that the agents were not a concern. They had ways to bypass these people. The only problem was the "comedian" who leaked their unknown information.

At this moment, with a "bang", the secret door on the floor was knocked open again.

This time, it was not the sound of footsteps that sounded first, but the sound of bullets fired. The sound of the gunfire from the bursting weapon was like a storm. Clark, who had his back to the secret door, turned around instantly, stretched out his hands, and fixed the bullet.

Bruce opened the window and said, "Let's go!"

Bruce flipped out first, Lex was a little slower, and finally, Clark flew out directly in front of the agent, but this time, there was no balcony directly below them, and they had to jump diagonally downward.

Bruce jumped over first, and he rolled as much as he could on the narrow balcony, but his arm was still hit. Lex didn't dare to jump at all, because he knew that his strength was not enough for him to jump over. If he didn't jump over, this was the sixth floor and he would definitely die.

Clark flew directly in the sky, then held Lex's arms from below, and jumped down with him. The two fell headfirst on the balcony. After climbing up, Lex's forehead was broken, and Clark took two deep breaths.

After his strength was weakened, his flying ability had changed from 360-degree free flying to a gliding ability. Carrying a heavy person, Clark consumed a lot of physical strength.

The few of them didn't have time to talk nonsense, so they opened the door on the balcony and rushed in. Who knew that there was a guest in this room? Bruce could only rush up, knocked out the lady who wanted to scream, and dragged her into the bathroom.

When he came out, he rolled up his sleeves and saw that his elbow joint was swollen. The impact just now had caused him to be seriously injured.

"It won't work this way. That person should be in a place like the monitoring room. He can see the situation in all the rooms, so he can provide detailed real-time location information to the group of agents."

"In this way, we will always be in a chased encounter, and the other party not only has a pistol, but also a burst weapon. If we flee like this, we will always be at a disadvantage."

As he said, Bruce looked around, trying to find the location of the monitor, but there were many patterns on the ceiling and walls of the English manor, and there were also various complicated patterns on the furniture. It was difficult to determine where the monitor was installed.

However, the feeling of being monitored made Bruce feel uneasy. At this time, Lex said, "We need to test whether there is a delay from the monitor to the monitoring screen? Is there a delay when the person on the other side sees the monitoring screen and calls the agent? Is there a delay in the action after the agents receive the message?"

"Once these are combined, it is very likely that we will have a buffer period for a period of time, and we can use these delays to set traps and deal with them."

"I think so too." Bruce confirmed this idea, but he looked at Lex and Clark and said, "The only problem is that both of you are not in good condition."

Bruce crossed his arms and stared at Lex and said, "If we want to test, we have to lead them at least two laps. Your physical strength may not support you to run."

"And him..." Bruce looked at Clark again and said, "Although I speculate that the radiation burst may be once every two hours, the data is not enough, and the inference may not be accurate. Once it bursts in the middle, you will immediately lose the ability to move."

"But now, I am much stronger than all of you." Clark stood up, he looked at Lex and said, "You explore the way ahead, I can take him."

"I'm not afraid of bullets, I can fly, and my speed is much faster than yours. I can also sense their position. Once I get weak, you leave immediately. Don't worry about me. They can't kill me."

"I really don't know where your ridiculous confidence comes from?"

Lex stared at Clark and said, "Haven't you noticed yet? Those agents are crazy. They dare to shoot at anyone."

"I'm not saying they dare not kill me, but they can't kill me."

At this time, Clark, with a serious face and a convincing voice, said:

"Impressions, sharp weapons, bullets, flames, and all weapons in the world, as long as I don't want to get hurt, nothing can hurt me."
