The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning
Chapter 212 Captain and Members
Chapter 212 Captain and Members
"How much longer do we have to run?!"
Mar shouted at Tim, who hadn't said a word.
The group of teenage Titans who came to Gotham City were all ordinary people. Even though they were considered among the best of Earthlings, they were still no match for a group of infected with superpowers who were chasing them.
Moreover, among these infected individuals are members of the Justice League, whom they simply cannot bring themselves to harm.
The sea of blood formed by the plastic figures seemed to be a real-life version of a classic scene from The Shining playing out behind them.
The extreme stretching transformed that almost infinitely elastic body into a liquid that seemed to penetrate every nook and cranny, always managing to burst out from unexpected angles, and always carrying with it a few super-infected individuals who had begun to evolve combat characteristics against them.
Moreover, the pursuing force is constantly growing.
The Green Arrow, with a ferocious expression, also arrived at the scene at some point. Fortunately, his muscles stiffened by the virus and his brain fogged up, preventing him from performing his peak archery skills at the beginning.
The fatal thing is that these infected people retain some instinct-based consciousness.
They will also improve with time and practice.
Cyborg's coma program can be overwritten and updated at any time, and the Flash will eventually regain the skills to break free from the ice. These are skills they already possessed and can be retrieved at any time.
The most convincing evidence is that Green Arrow's arrows at them have become more and more accurate with each shot.
And there is another heavy truth that no one wants to mention.
Batman has also been infected, and he certainly can't stop Superman forever. This legendary duo could join the pursuit at any moment.
Mar's shouts at Tim were not for his own sake.
It was for Mia.
As the successor of Green Arrow, Mia Kuaishou not only has to run away with them, but also has to be on guard against the deadly arrows shot by the infected Green Arrow from time to time.
The master and apprentice engaged in a silent contest in this inappropriate setting.
Mia remained highly vigilant throughout her run, occasionally drawing a short arrow from her quiver, nocking it briefly, and casually tossing it down, intercepting deadly attacks that no one could see in mid-air.
But this also made Mia the one who exhausted her stamina the fastest among everyone.
"Batman told me to trust the drill sergeant. I won't make any rash judgments in this situation because the drill sergeant's orders are clear: he wants us to stall for enough time!"
Tim finally roared in response to Mar's question.
He was equally unwilling, his eyes wide open, bloodshot as he met Mal's astonished gaze.
"Of course I know what the instructor said! I meant—"
Mar gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped, looking once again at Mia, whose steps were already unsteady.
Mia felt Mar's concern. Normally, she might have had the extra thoughts to linger in her mind for a while.
But now, Mia is actually so exhausted that she is on the verge of collapse.
Her family knows her own situation. Her regular medication time has been more than an hour late, and the complications caused by her weakened immune system are further eroding her spirit.
But in the current situation, Mia doesn't dare to take out the medicine.
It wasn't because she was worried about her teammates knowing anything; after all, everyone was on the verge of life and death, and those old ailments that had plagued her heart seemed insignificant at this moment.
The real reason is that Mia simply couldn't remove the mask that Rachel had enchanted in this dense, green fog.
Her heavy breathing caused her body temperature, which had risen from the continuous running, to rise, creating a thin mist on her transparent mask. This made it impossible for Mia, who was already in a daze, to focus on observing her surroundings.
Whoosh!
The darkness and the unconscious roars of the infected became the best cover.
A matte-finished metal arrow sliced through the cold, heavy air, shooting towards the back of Mia's head at an incredibly tricky angle.
Mar was the second to notice something was wrong, even though he was still anxiously asking Tim questions. Fortunately, Cassandra, whose senses were even more acute than his, pounced first and delivered a powerful upward kick, the tip of her boot perfectly deflecting the arrow shot by Green Arrow.
As the spinning arrow disappeared from sight, Mar breathed a sigh of relief.
Cassandra landed and continued running, her arms swinging as she surprisingly opened her mouth and made a sound towards Mia.
"You run, then it's my turn."
Perhaps the extreme pressure stimulated Cassandra's language nerves, and this was the first time she had expressed her meaning almost completely through speech.
Everyone knows what Cassandra meant.
She wanted to replace Mia and continue to intercept Green Arrow's relentless barrage of arrows.
Mia opened her mouth to respond, but found that her throat was already dry. She closed her lips and swallowed hard a few times before shaking her head hoarsely in refusal.
"The ordinary arrows that Green Arrow has been shooting are meant to wear me down. If you can't intercept them from a distance, he'll switch to some special arrowheads."
Perhaps to verify his apprentice's statement, almost the instant the words fell, a sound completely different from the previous silent whistling came from the shadows, the peculiar air friction bringing out an exceptionally sharp shriek.
This time, everyone heard that strange sound, and unlike the previous sharp sounds, this arrow did not travel very fast.
Mia's expression changed instantly. Having trained with Green Arrow for a period of time, she immediately recognized the source of that strange, piercing whistle.
With a swift movement, Mia grabbed Cassandra, who was trying to step forward.
"No! Those are explosive arrows!"
Mia knew that, according to Green Arrow's habits, explosive arrows were usually not fired directly at human bodies because it would be unsightly to blast blood everywhere.
Except in special situations requiring a major assault, Green Arrow's explosive arrows are only aimed at empty spaces in the middle of a group of enemies, using the shockwave to disrupt their formation.
But if Cassandra were to kick again as before, all the force of the explosion would be directed at her.
Green Arrow's tactics are simple.
Either you lose one person, or you leave them all here.
But there was another person who recognized the sound of the exploding arrow long before Mia shouted it out.
Mar, who had been running alongside Tim at the front to intercept the enemy in front, turned around and stopped running, stomping his foot heavily.
The heavy metal manhole cover was lifted by Mar's heavy stomp. He sank his left hand down sharply, gripping the edge of the cover tightly with his five fingers. He exhaled deeply, swung it up, and used his waist to perform a standard discus throw in place.
Just then, Mia ran past Mar, staring at him in astonishment.
But this time, Mal did not focus his attention on Mia.
"Tim!"
"If you want to be the captain, then you should know this!"
The round arrow finally shot out, and Mal managed to slip the manhole cover from his hand.
"Only planned sacrifices can delay them to the greatest extent possible!"
"don't want!"
Mia stared wide-eyed at the figure that was about to be engulfed in the rapidly expanding flames.
The scorching heat instantly turned the thin white mist inside Mia's mask into water droplets, and her eagle eyes, which were qualified to become a top archer, clearly imprinted everything at this moment.
The epicenter of the explosion was too close, and Mar was just a mortal being.
