"How much longer do we have to run?!"
Mal shouted at Tim who said nothing.
The Teen Titans who came to Gotham are all ordinary people. Even though they are already considered the best among the people on earth, they are still powerless when faced with the pursuit of a group of infected people who possess Superpowers.
What's more, among this group of infected people, they are led by members of Justice League who they can't be ruthless at all.
The sea of blood transformed by Plastic Man seemed to be playing out a real-life version of the classic the Shining episode behind them.
The extreme stretching turned the nearly infinitely elastic body into a liquid that seemed to be all-pervasive. It could always come out from various unexpected angles, and it always contained a few super-infected people who had initially evolved to suit their combat characteristics.
Moreover, the chasing team is still growing.
Green Arrow, with a ferocious look on his face, also arrived at the scene at some unknown time. Fortunately, his muscles that were stiffened by the virus and his brain that was dulled by the virus prevented him from performing his normal peak archery skills at first.
But the terrible thing is that these infected people maintain a part of their instinct-based consciousness.
They will also improve with time and practice.
Cyborg's coma program will be overwritten and rewritten by updated programs at any time. Flash will be able to master the skills of breaking through the ice sooner or later. These are the skills they have mastered before, and they can be retrieved at any time.
The most convincing thing is that the arrows Green Arrow shot at them are more accurate than the others.
And there is another heavy fact that no one wants to mention.
Batman is also infected. He will definitely not be able to stop Superman forever. The world-famous best partners may join the pursuit team at any time.
Mal's cry for Tim is not for himself.
But for Mia.
As the descendant of Green Arrow, Speedy Mia not only has to run with them, but also has to be responsible for guarding against the deadly arrows shot by the infected Green Arrow from time to time.
The master and apprentice started a silent contest on this inappropriate occasion.
Mia always maintained the highest degree of vigilance while running wildly. From time to time, he would suddenly pull out a short arrow from the quiver, simply nock the bow, and throw it casually, intercepting fatal attacks in the air that no one could see clearly.
But this also makes Mia the one with the fastest physical exhaustion among all people.
"Batman makes me believe Instructor. I will not make any judgment at this time, because the meaning of Instructor's order is obvious. He asked us to delay enough time!"
Tim finally roared in response to Mal's question.
He was also unwilling in his heart, his eyes widened angrily and bloodshot in response to Mal's surprised gaze.
"Of course I know what Instructor said! I mean----"
Mal gritted his teeth and suddenly paused, looking again at Mia, whose steps were already disordered.
Mia felt Mal's concern. If it were normal, she might still have extra thoughts lingering in her mind for a while.
But now, Mia is actually exhausted and on the verge of losing strength.
Her family knew about her affairs, and her fixed medication time had exceeded an hour. The concurrent inflammation caused by her low immunity was further depriving her of her energy.
But under the current circumstances, Mia didn't dare to take out the medicine and take it.
It wasn't that she was worried about her teammates knowing anything. After all, everyone was on the verge of life and death. Those stubborn illnesses that had plagued her heart in the past seemed insignificant at this moment.
The real reason is that it is simply impossible for Mia to take off the mask with Magic applied by Rachel in this thick green fog environment visible to the naked eye.
The violent breathing brought out the body temperature that had been raised during the continuous running, and mist precipitated on the transparent mask, which made Mia, who was already in a daze, no longer able to focus on observing the surrounding environment.
Whoosh!
The darkness and the unconscious roars of the infected became the best cover.
A matte-finished metal arrow cut through the cold, low air, and shot towards the back of Mia's head at an extremely tricky angle.
Mal, who was still anxiously asking questions to Tim, sensed something was wrong for the second time, but fortunately Cassandra, whose senses were more sensitive than his, took the lead and jumped out, kicking his leg up, and the tip of his boot kicked away the arrow shot by Green Arrow.
Seeing the spinning arrow disappear, Mal breathed a sigh of relief.
Cassandra, who landed on the ground, raised his legs and continued running. While swinging his arms, he actually opened his mouth and made a sound towards Mia.
"You, run, change, me."
Perhaps it was the extreme pressure that stimulated Cassandra's language nerves. This was the first time she used speaking to express her thoughts almost completely.
Everyone knows the meaning of Cassandra.
She wanted to replace Mia and continue to intercept the sharp arrows that Green Arrow kept coming.
Mia opened his mouth to respond, but found that his throat was already dry. He closed his lips and swallowed violently a few times before shaking his head hoarsely and refusing.
"The ordinary arrows Green Arrow has been shooting before are just to consume me. If you can't intercept them from a long distance, he will replace them with some special arrows."
Perhaps to verify the disciple's statement, almost at the moment the words fell, a sound that was completely different from the previous silent sound of breaking through the air came from the darkness. The strange feeling of air friction brought out an extremely sharp howl.
This time, everyone heard the strange sound, and unlike the previous sharp ones, this arrow did not fly very fast.
Mia's expression changed in an instant. After training with Green Arrow for a period of time, she immediately recognized the strange and loud roar.
Raising his hand to fish it out, Mia grabbed Cassandra who was about to step forward.
"No! That's a blasting arrow!"
Mia knows that according to Green Arrow's habit, blasting arrows are usually not fired directly at Human Body, because the explosion will cause a bloody mess and it will be ugly.
Except for special situations such as the need to attack fortresses, Green Arrow's explosive arrows will only point at the empty space in the middle of a group of enemies, using shock waves to disrupt the enemy's formation.
But if Cassandra still kicks with his feet like before, then all the power of the explosion will be on Cassandra.
Green Arrow's tactics are simple.
Either reduce one person, or leave them all to me.
But there was another person who recognized the sound of explosive arrows long before Mia shouted.
Mal, who had been running alongside Tim at the front and responsible for intercepting the enemy in front, turned around, stopped running, and stepped heavily on his feet.
The heavy metal manhole cover was lifted up by Mal's heavy step. His left hand suddenly sank down, and his five fingers tightly grasped the edge of the manhole cover. He exhaled deeply, lifted it up, exerted force on his waist, and made a standard discus throwing maneuver on the spot.
At this time, Mia happened to run past Mal, staring at him in shock.
But Mal did not set his sights on Mia this time.
"Tim!"
"If you want to be captain, you should know!"
The round arrow finally arrived, and Mal just managed to get the manhole cover out of his hand.
"Planned sacrifice can delay them to the greatest extent!"
"No!"
Mia opened his eyes wide and looked at the figure that was about to be submerged in the rapidly expanding firelight.
The scorching high temperature instantly baked the thin white mist inside Mia's mask into Droplet, and her eagle eyes, which qualified her to become a top-notch archer, marked everything extremely clearly at this moment.
The center point of the explosion was too close, but Mal was just a mortal body.
