Chapter 959: Take Action (Please Give Me Double the Monthly Votes!!!!!)
"Flash!!!" Peak Man screamed!
This guy is wearing a ridiculous yellow-green horizontal checkered uniform, looking like a clown. But in fact, this guy is a famous criminal in Los Angeles. Even if he looks ridiculous, his ability should not be underestimated. Peak Man can rotate himself at an amazing speed.
It sounds useless, but in fact this ability is quite terrifying. When he opens his hands and rotates, he can create a tornado out of thin air. Of course, this is not his strongest attack. What really makes him scary is that he can fly up like a high-speed gyroscope to attack the enemy. The powerful rotation kinetic energy makes him an indestructible weapon! (His ability also comes from the accident that created the Flash)
But unfortunately, this ability is naturally countered by the Flash.
So Peak Man is very afraid of the Flash.
"Enough! Don't scream like a woman! It's just right that the Flash is back! Let's kill him!" Gangliang shouted rudely.
Steel Beam has a deep connection with the Flash. In addition to his ability, it is also due to the accident caused by the laboratory explosion. He is also very familiar with Barry. Steel Beam's real name is Tony Woodward. He has lived in the black community in the South since he was a child. Barry was adopted by Joe after his mother was murdered and his father was imprisoned. Joe's family is not very wealthy, so it is naturally impossible to afford Barry's previous private school, so he can only transfer him to a public school in the South.
A thin boy from a wealthy white family, entering a school dominated by black and poor families, how will he be treated... It goes without saying.
And Tony Woodward was the bully of Barry Allen in his childhood. If Iris hadn't protected Barry since he was a child, Barry might not have graduated from school.
Tony Woodward has been a bastard since he was a child, and naturally he has no future. When he grew up, he became an employee of a scrap steel recycling company. He is rude. Once he had a conflict with a female colleague in the factory, Tony beat the female colleague, causing chaos. In the chaos, Tony slipped and fell into the molten steel. Just at this time, the particle accelerator in the laboratory exploded, allowing him to survive and transform his body into metal.
There is no need to guess what such a scum will do after gaining power.
"That's right! Let's kill the Flash! That way we can become famous and Los Angeles will be ours in the future!"
Weather wizard Mark Maton also shouted. This guy has a younger brother named Clyde Maton. The two brothers are the kind of undisputed bad guys, drug addicts, and criminals. After a robbery was exposed, the two brothers took a small plane to escape. As a result, the particle accelerator exploded, and the two brothers and their small plane crashed. At the same time, they also gained superpowers. And it is the same superpower.
That is to manipulate the weather. Clyde suffered less damage when the plane crashed, so he woke up early, but he did not change his bad habits. He was stopped by Barry during a crime and then shot dead by Joe. Mark was seriously injured and survived with great difficulty. He was not discharged until last month. Mark may be a bad guy, but the brotherly relationship is very good. He has always wanted to avenge his brother!
Sizzle!
After a golden lightning flash, the Flash appeared in the bank hall.
Well, this group of guys are joining forces to rob the bank. This is popular recently.
"Wow! Look who this is?" Gangliang threw the bank security guard away and looked at the Flash with surprise. "Our little Flash finally came out? I thought you were going to retire! I was lost for a long time because of this! Lost... I can't kill you with my own hands!"
Gangliang was defeated by the Flash. In an operation to rob a bus.
Look at this... You can imagine how low Gangliang was before.
"Kill him!!!" Anton is not as good-tempered as Gangliang. Although he has always been a gangster, he has rich experience in committing crimes. He knows that when doing things, the most taboo is to talk nonsense. Hurry up and do the business, and then run away quickly!
Anton raised his hands, the sky immediately darkened, the air around him flowed rapidly, and two storms formed instantly!
Whoosh!
The two storms shot at the Flash like cannonballs.
Barry immediately moved his body as usual to dodge, but the next second, his speed suddenly disappeared!
Bang!
The Flash was easily knocked away.
The others were also confused... They were prepared for a hard fight.
Gangliang touched the back of his head.
"We encountered... fakes?"
This is not surprising. Since the emergence of superheroes, there are too many people imitating them. Of course, most of them are just for fun. There are very few who can really fight. Of course, there are some, but most of them can't reach the level of superheroes.
"No matter! Fakes must die!"
Gangliang didn't care about this or that. Anyway, he wanted to kill people. Whoever he killed was not killed?
Just when they were about to do it.
The Flash suddenly disappeared, and the next second Gangliang was knocked away!
"Huh!" The Flash appeared again, and he exhaled: "Just now it was an accident, you just pretend you didn't see it!"
"How could you not see it!" While the Peak Man screamed, the whole person rushed towards the Flash like a falling heart.
The Flash stretched out a hand and first turned it in the direction of the Peak Man's rotation, then grabbed the Peak Man and turned it in the opposite direction! Then he smashed the Peak Man into the ground!
"You always use this trick. I'm tired of it if you don't!"
After doing all this, the Flash was just about to deal with Mark Madon, but his body paused again and he lost his speed again!
Mark saw the opportunity and struck the Flash with a bolt of lightning!
Bang!
The Flash was hit again.
Mark looked at his hands in disbelief.
"Could it be...I am the nemesis of the Flash?!"
Gangliang walked over, rubbing his chest.
"Fuck, it's weird! Why can you hit him?"
Mark's status in their small gang is not high. Although he has good ability, it's a pity...he is too slow to start, and there is a pre-casting swing. If you catch the pre-casting swing, you can beat the shit out of him. Especially the Peak Man can beat him accurately.
"Hahaha! Never mind! This is the real thing! Let's kill him quickly and hang his body in the most conspicuous place in the city! No one in Los Angeles will dare to resist us in the future!" Mark doesn't care so much! It's great to be able to get revenge!
The Flash crawled out of the rubble. The speed force disappeared, which meant that everything brought by the speed force disappeared, including the super-speed regeneration ability. So he would still be injured. Barry hadn't felt this feeling for a long time.
But he was still not afraid.
Anyway, for him, as long as he didn't die, everything was not a big problem. When the speed force returned, the body would recover immediately.
"I advise you to surrender quickly! Otherwise... something very bad will happen!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"He actually asked us to surrender?!!! Hahaha!"
"Just take care of yourself! Hahaha!"
The Flash's expression became very strange.
Barry himself didn't kill people. He instinctively disliked the act of taking other people's lives, even if the other party was a bad guy.
But not everyone would care about this.
For example, another superhero in this city.
At this time.
A thunderbolt suddenly struck the bank lobby.
A man in a beach shirt appeared in the lightning.
The man still had a cigar in his mouth.
"I said, you should rest well when you are sick. Don't run around." The visitor said to the Flash casually.
Barry did not answer, but said to the three unlucky guys with regret: "I told you to surrender..."
"Yes... yes... it's Kai!!!!" Mark screamed.
Kai turned his head with a cigar in his mouth: "No need to shout so loudly."
Kai became famous not in New York, but in Los Angeles! It was the Battle of Los Angeles that established Kai's status as a superhero. Although at that time, the mecha he wore was a war machine. But there is no doubt that Los Angeles people have always been proud of Kai.
Really, compared to the proud New Yorkers, Los Angeles people like Kai more. New Yorkers look down on Kai who works for the government and think that he has lost the status of a superhero, just like Americans think that any media that does not oppose the government is a government running dog. Official superheroes like Kai suffer in terms of reputation because people are always afraid that one day the government will use Kai to suppress them.
But Los Angeles people are not worried... probably because he is no longer in Los Angeles.
In short, Los Angeles people still have a high degree of support for Kai, and most of Kai's fans are concentrated here.
So basically there is no Los Angeles person who doesn't know Kai!
"Who cares who he is! Kill him!" Because Gangliang can transform into metal, he is least afraid of being beaten, so he is quite courageous. He did it as soon as he said it, and immediately his whole body turned into metal, and then he swung his fist as big as a casserole at Kai's head!
Kai is very powerful?
Let's talk about it after the fight!
The Flash immediately realized that something was wrong.
He stretched out his hand and tried to stop it.
Gangliang looked at the Flash with a happy face, thinking that the Flash was pleading for Kai...
However, the fact is: "No! It will..."
Before the word death came out, Kai turned into a huge metal giant, and then a death ray hit Gangliang!
Then Gangliang didn't even scream.
It turned into a ball of boiling and boiling molten steel... flowing all over the floor.
"You'll die..."
The Flash withdrew his hand awkwardly. What's the point of trying to persuade him? It's already melted. You need a shovel to collect the body...
The Peak Man also attacked after the steel beam!
So when the steel beam was killed, he was too late to stop.
But his fate was much better than that of his companions.
Because the distance was too close, Kai did not use the destruction ray, but raised the ultimate storm and directly beheaded the Peak Man!
The Peak Man's head fell in front of Mark!
Like a gyroscope...
"Ah!!!!!!!"
Mark let out a scream that could shatter a person's eardrums, and then wrapped himself in a strong wind and flew into the sky... but the speed was a bit slow.
At least that's the case for Kai.
He waved his hand and threw out his ultimate storm!
Boom!
The thunder and the giant hammer hit Mark hard.
This time it was not so bloody!
The giant hammer knocked Mark down, and the thunder instantly carbonized and decomposed him.
Nothing was left.
"I remember you caught them before, right?" Kai changed back to his beach shirt.
"Um...it seems they escaped from prison at some point..."
Barry said a little awkwardly.
"Here's a suggestion, Flash." Kai used the nickname for the Flash in Los Angeles.
"Hmm?"
"When there is no effective way to detain them, the most responsible thing to do is to kill them directly! If you don't let them escape, it will only create more victims. These bastards are not innocent. The innocent are those who don't know anything. , just ordinary people who were harmed by them.”
Kai said seriously.
Maintaining justice is very important to Kai. But protecting innocent people from harm is more important than upholding justice. Bringing these bastards to justice is undoubtedly an act of justice, but such justice cannot stop them from harming others again.
The irony is, these bastards often get away.
Because ordinary people’s prisons cannot hold them at all.
As for why the federal government didn't set up a prison specifically to hold these bastards... there's only one reason, it's too expensive!
The cost of locking up a super-powered criminal is enough to lock up a hundred ordinary prisoners. The federal government has even privatized prisons because it does not want to increase the burden (but as a result, such a budget has not been reduced, but has been increasing year by year. The private prison industry is booming, and it is even the most stable stock in the U.S. stock market. The government wants to take back private ownership. , only to be blocked by a huge lobby). The cost of building and maintaining such a prison that can hold super-powered criminals has far exceeded the losses they can cause. Yes, in Western concepts, human life is valuable and can be quantified. (The most typical one is the Ford fuel tank defect case. If you look at it on Baidu, it will make people shudder)
When the budget for such prisons is too high, the government simply plays dead.
The point is, this kind of prison creates no value at all!
Yes, reality is so cold.
"But..." Barry still couldn't convince himself. "Batman doesn't kill people!"
Kai stopped talking.
After all, this is my fault...
"It's up to you." Kai waved his hand: "This is your own choice. As long as you are willing to bear the price."
After speaking, Kai turned into lightning and disappeared.
The city is descending into chaos and Kai is busy right now!
In just one day, Kai prevented more than thirteen bank robberies. and several cases of serious violence.
The methods are extremely... cruel!
But surprisingly, no one in the entire Los Angeles media stood up to criticize his actions.
Because the capital behind them understands that at this time, such a person may be needed to prevent the birth of chaos.
Freedom of speech is being toyed with again.
The government will never stop someone from expressing an opinion on something because that would be criticized as restricting free speech.
But capital can, because the Constitution stipulates that private media can selectively publish content they think can be published, and they have the right to refuse to publish content they do not want to publish.
This is true American freedom of speech!
