The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 149 A Doomed Couple

In the dim sky, a red crack carrying an ominous aura flickered ten thousand meters above.

The low air pressure and the occasional thunderclaps rumbling through the dark clouds seemed to foreshadow the fate of the world.

In Gotham City, where the universe is turned upside down, a golden bolt of lightning speeds through the streets and alleys.

Johnny Quick, who was also entangled with Reverse-Flash, was teleported back but did not immediately contact the other members of the Crime Syndicate.

Instead, she wanted to find her lover.

Since infiltrating another world, Atomic Rhonda has had almost no chance to contact Johnny Quick, as Superpower does not allow them to waste their precious intergalactic communication resources on romance.

So when he arrived at the Justice League's headquarters, his first thought wasn't to defeat any enemies.

Instead, he went to find his girlfriend, who was likely being controlled by the Justice League.

The communicator in his pocket kept vibrating, and Superb's avatar kept flashing, but Johnny Quick ignored it.

Having not seen Rhonda for so long, Johnny temporarily forgot about how terrifying the Superpower was.

If all else fails, he can find another excuse later. Now that the long-planned invasion of the new world has failed, Superpower will no longer be as irritable as before.

If Superman had any sense, he would know that he must unite the only remaining forces he can to have a better chance of survival.

"Rhonda, I know you're back!"

Johnny Express ran and shouted.

Since the Syndicate's invasion plan failed, Atomic Girl should return to this universe.

As a criminal couple, Jonathan Allen and Rhonda Panida, who were just ordinary people at the time, shared a passionate kiss in a thunderstorm during a failed prison break, just before being surrounded by armed police.

Then the two were struck simultaneously by a bolt of lightning that struck from the sky.

Rhonda was thrown into a nearby laboratory belonging to Dr. Ray Palmer, causing an explosion of the atomic analyzer that Dr. Palmer was operating.

Jonathan, on the other hand, gained the ability to connect with the Speed ​​Force under the lightning.

From then on, the two went from being an ordinary criminal couple to a super-powered criminal couple, and received an offer from the crime syndicate.

Of course, this amazing experience also deepened their relationship. They asked Night Owl to help them create a pair of bracelets that could pinpoint each other's location, as a further testament to their commitment.

Therefore, Johnny Quick was absolutely certain that Atom had also returned to this universe, because the bracelet on his wrist had been guiding him.

No matter how fast he ran, the bracelet maintained a steady vibration frequency.

It's like Johnny Quick can never get close to Atom Girl's position.

"How is this possible!"

Johnny Express gritted his teeth, his limbs swaying back and forth, becoming a blur.

He could circle the entire city of Gotham in just a few seconds, but he still couldn't pinpoint Atom's location.

Johnny Express finally stopped in frustration.

He wanted to continue searching, but the extreme metabolism of speedsters forced him to stop and replenish his energy.

In the upside-down world of Gotham, ruled by the Night Owls, the city's ruthless methods have ironically maintained a strange stability within the crime syndicate universe.

Unlike other cities that follow syndicate rules, Gotham is a city in an upside-down universe where crime is extremely rare.

Of course, the people of Gotham who have turned upside down are not free either. The Night Owl has drawn up complex iron rules for the city with his blood-stained violence.

But at least it made Gotham's business thrive.

There were no deadly gang fights, and no thugs extorting protection money.

Many shops kept their doors open, especially some restaurants that boldly let the aroma of food being prepared in their kitchens waft out.

Johnny Quick smelled the aroma—the scent of beef fat and protein searing in melted butter.

He rolled his eyes and locked onto a steakhouse.

He didn't intend to pay; no one could catch a speedster's pocket. He just needed to go in, grab a quick bite, and then continue his journey to find his lover.

Although I can't figure out why the bracelet can't be located accurately, since I can't find it in Gotham, I can try looking in Metropolis next door later.

But when the dark sky thundered again, Johnny Quick inadvertently caught a glimpse of the steakhouse's huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Right behind him, hundreds of meters in the air, a figure was silently floating.

Johnny had no choice but to start running again.

This time, what drove him to take the first step was fear.

The guy reflected in the shop window was also drooling in the direction of the steakhouse, but what he was looking at was Johnny's Fast Food itself.

"Damn it! How did Zamsa get released?"

Johnny Quick doesn't have time to look for a partner; he must save his own life first.

Zamza moved through the sky with a sinister grin, his eyes fixed on Johnny Quick's back. Having absorbed countless superpowers, Zamza was undeniably powerful to anyone in the Crime Syndicate.

Even the fastest riders, enveloped in the Speed ​​Force, would find it difficult to escape his pursuit.

The only thing that could possibly defeat him is Super Queen's Lasso of Obedience. The last time he was captured, it was because the Syndicate members ambushed him and made Zamza shout the spell to turn back into human form under the influence of the Lasso of Obedience.

This time, however, the Super Queen is dead.

The lightning in the dark clouds seemed to be drawn to Zamsa; a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, igniting a high-voltage electrical box that Johnny Express had just passed by.

Several nearby streets were quickly plunged into darkness. Although it was still daytime, the already bad weather, combined with the magical clouds brought by Zansha, shrouded most of the city in pitch-black darkness.

Johnny gritted his teeth and kept weaving through the various alleys. He dared not run in a long straight line because his energy was running low. He could only hope to shake off Zamsa by using the complex terrain.

The surrounding environment gradually darkened, only to be briefly illuminated again by the increasingly dense lightning snakes in the dark clouds above.

With each flash of lightning, Zamsa's projected image on the ground seemed to teleport a considerable distance closer.

Johnny Express dared not look back, nor dared he slow down; he could only keep running for his life.

His intense battle with Reverse-Flash in another world had already exhausted a lot of his energy.

After returning to this world, he was in a hurry to find Atom, running around Gotham City several times.

Before he knew it, Johnny Quick's vision was starting to blur.

He stumbled and trembled all over, passing through several houses before silently disappearing into the floor and hiding in the basement of one of the houses.

"If you want to catch me, go eat shit!"

Johnny Express held his breath, thinking.

Are speedsters really that easy to catch?!

Although this concealment cannot stop Zansha for long, it can certainly provide temporary confusion and delay.

He only needs a little time to recover some of his strength.

After waiting for a long time, the expected commotion of Zansha angrily tearing open the obscuring doors of the outer rooms did not come.

Just as Johnny Quick was listening intently to the details outside, the bracelet that could locate Atom Girl suddenly began to vibrate at a high frequency.

"Oh no! Rhonda's around here too!"

Johnny Quick stared in horror, feeling guilty at the thought that his lover was in danger of being targeted by Zamsa because of him.

He stood up and once again used his speed force to vibrate the atoms around him, trying to slip out unnoticed for a quick look.

If possible, Johnny Quick wanted to help Rhonda distract Zamza's attention first.

After all, speedsters aren't so easy to catch!

Without a sound, Johnny Express emerged from the basement, nervously peering back and forth into the hallway.

The bracelet began to vibrate more and more violently.

Hmm? Is Rhonda in this room?

Johnny Quick was both overjoyed and nervous. He used the built-in high-tech scanning function of his windproof goggles to look around the room, trying to determine Atomic Girl's location.

Those who move extremely fast are hard to catch, and those who shrink are hard to find.

But in a mere millisecond, he suddenly realized something.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world.

A speck of dust floated to the front of Johnny Quick's eyepiece and quickly magnified.

Zamsa fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist that was identical to the one on Johnny Quick's wrist, and gave the grief-stricken Speedster a sinister smile as he finally realized what was happening.
