Chapter 217 Illiteracy Suffers

Supporting a car that had also been dragged several meters by the man-made hurricane earlier, Ma Er looked at Li Zhen's back as if he were looking at a monster.

At this moment, the air within a radius of nearly a hundred meters around everyone was cleared up, and the green traces that were originally scattered throughout the air disappeared, probably swept away by the torrent that Li Zhen had just stirred up.

Tim stared in disbelief for a moment, then gently tapped his forehead with the base of his right palm.

"My God, how does Batman have the courage to go against Superman every day? It shouldn't be too difficult for Superman to do the same, right?"

""

Cassandra then jumped down from the side wall of a nearby building with a thud.

The strong winds just now were deadly for someone as light as her. Everyone found something to hold onto to steady themselves, and Cassandra happened to choose a street lamp.

As a result, Cassandra was sent flying into the sky along with the streetlights. Fortunately, the girl was incredibly agile and could move as nimbly as a ballerina even in a hurricane.

When the streetlights were unreliable, they replaced them with stones. After the stones were knocked away, they replaced them with a huge sheet metal sign—and finally, they managed to pry it off onto the wall of a building.

So once the others saw how easily Cassandra handled the situation, they didn't presume to try and save her.

Mia noticed that the surrounding air had become transparent again. While everyone was still surprised, she curled up next to Mar and, using the car as cover, quickly removed her mask and swallowed a few pills that she always carried with her.

Constantine and Rachel, each under the protection of magic, remained essentially motionless.

However, many of the spells Constantine possessed always seemed incomplete or carried some side effects.

He had only managed to avoid being blown away thanks to magic, but the wind still managed to penetrate the magical barrier and reach his face.

Not only was his hair even more disheveled, but his face was droopy, his eyes were red and swollen, and the cigarette he had finally managed to relight had vanished before he could even take two puffs.

Frustrated, Constantine patted his pocket, shook the shrunken cigarette pack, and glared resentfully at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen responded by shrugging her shoulders in a gesture of helplessness.

"If you had just helped instead of spouting so much nonsense, at least you would still be able to smoke a whole cigarette."

The two palms, their muscles bulging, parted, and as blue smoke rose from their red palms, a pool of liquid rubber, emitting a pungent odor, dripped onto the ground.

Looking down, Li Zhen honestly had considerable doubts about whether the plastic figure was still alive.

If he can still survive after all this, then the plastic man's endurance is indeed among the best he has ever seen in the physical aspects of the game.

Li Zhen stepped over the pool of pungent-smelling stuff, looked around to make sure there were no enemies nearby for the time being, and then looked at the group.

"Is everything alright?"

I mentally reviewed everything.

Cassandra, Rachel, Tim, Mar.

"Where's Mia?"

Beside Mal, a small head with messy blond hair peeked out from under the car hood.

"Good, no casualties. If tonight's matter is successfully resolved, I can approve a week's vacation for everyone. It's really kind of you to be forced into such a dangerous situation on your first mission."

Li Zhen looked again at Constantine, whose face was full of resentment.

"Any good news from the watchtower?"

After grimacing for a few seconds, Constantine took out the Shazam lightning orb he had saved earlier and listened to it for a while.

"They are still busy, and it may take some more time."

"That means we need to delay for a while longer."

Li Zhen was somewhat irritated. Ever since he stepped out of Rachel's Shadow Dimension, he had always felt a strange pressure in his heart.

I don't know if it's because my intuition is too strong, or because the death imagery that Lilia mentioned earlier caused me some inner turmoil.

But the problem was on the verge of being resolved. Most of the infected Justice League members had been taken down, and even the Plastic Man, who was once thought to be the only troublesome one, had been successfully dealt with.

The plastic man isn't considered an infected person. Patrick was just affected by the virus. As previously speculated, a lump of rubber can't be infected by a virus. Whether that guy can even be considered a carbon-based life form is still debatable.

With her own senses and the force field that had been restored to cover the surroundings, even though she was standing on the ground in reality, Li Zhen was confident that there would be no situation where infected people lurking in the shadows would secretly observe her and allow the enemy to evolve.

No infected person could escape his senses. It should be noted that the gaze of a spy carries weight for Li Zhen; it is a presence that can provide early warning.

Whether it's an ordinary infected person, a superhuman infected person, or even a zombie superman chasing after him, Li Zhen is confident that he can avoid their gaze for as long as he can, unless the superman disobeys Jason's orders and uses force above the level of a city-destroying force.

Luther's success is within reach, and Lex isn't one to make empty promises about such things.

Li Zhen looked around again, constantly calculating in her mind what other places she might have overlooked.

He no longer planned to move the young Titans with him; he only needed to patiently find a secluded spot nearby and wait for several tens of minutes.

Even within ten minutes, once Luther's antidote is available, the problem will be solved.

eager----"

A person's gaze carries weight.

Li Zhen's hair stood on end in an instant.

Someone is watching me, infected people are looking at me with lustful eyes?!

And it's right next door!

How is that possible?!

Li Zhen turned around in surprise and anger, her eyes instantly locking onto Mia.

The latter was completely unaware. The blonde girl was still weakly leaning on Ma'er's shoulder, and was confused when she noticed Li Zhen glaring at her.

"Instructor, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Zhen opened her mouth, and the expression in her eyes slowly changed from rage and shock to helplessness.

"Didn't you notice that you've been watching me intently the whole time, Mia?"

The others turned their gazes toward Mia with suspicion, and then witnessed a scene that sent chills down their spines.

Mia's eye is completely normal.

The other eye, near Ma'er's shoulder, opened to its physiological limit, as if the skin at the corner of its eye was about to burst, and locked onto Li Zhen with an unusual gaze that revealed greed and triumph.

Rachel clenched her fist, then let it sag weakly.

Mar carefully lifted Mia off his shoulder, looked at the obviously abnormal eyes, and sighed with mixed feelings.

"You've been infected with the virus, Mia."

The blonde girl's expression turned panicked and bewildered.

"Did you remove your mask?"

Li Zhen twitched her ears, sensing the sounds coming from the distant night sky, and asked helplessly.

"I... I just saw the instructor blow away the viruses around me, so I only moved away for a moment, less than a second—"

Tim sighed.

"A high concentration of virus makes the air appear green, but that doesn't mean the green color disappears and the virus is completely eliminated—Mia, no matter how violent the air currents or hurricanes are, they can only dilute the amount of virus in the air within a certain area."

Mia's tears welled up behind her mask. Panicked and filled with guilt, she pushed Mar away and knelt down in front of Li Zhen with a thud.

"I—I don't know, I'm illiterate—I really don't know, I thought there was no virus around for the time being."

The once cold and aloof girl who had just arrived at the Teen Titans base burst into tears.

Under extreme mental pressure, Mia finally confessed the root of her long-standing inferiority complex, and everything she had carefully concealed.

"I didn't mean to, instructor. I... I have AIDS and many complications. I have to take medication regularly—I didn't want to hurt you or anyone else."

"Tsk."

Li Zhen didn't look at Mia, but instead looked at Ma'er.

The air began to tremble, and some incredibly powerful entity was approaching them.

A newly evolved enemy is on its way.
