Tornado

Barry, run in the opposite direction of the tornado, use the reaction force to cut it, run, don't just stand there like an idiot.

Lin Li was practically yelling at him, what couldn't be stopped, you could have stopped it originally.

Caitlin said, "What, this isn't a joke. To cut through a tornado like this, Barry, you'd have to go at least 700 miles per hour. Your body wouldn't be able to handle it, you'd die."

Barry heard Lin Li and Caitlin's words and said hesitantly, "I have to try."

700 mph = 1126 kilometers = Mach 1.

This means Barry needs to run at a speed of 340 meters per second to counteract the tornado.

Barry's current speed is about 90 meters per second, so he needs to increase his speed by four times to cut through the tornado.

Lin Li thought about the numbers and gasped. Watching it on TV, it didn't feel like much. Barry ran out with Dr. Wells' encouragement. Now, thinking about it carefully, it was simply impossible. Even if it were possible, his body would collapse. But in the TV show, he ran out so easily. That was incredibly ridiculous. It could only mean that under the protection of the Speed Force, even if your speed broke through the heavens, your body, being that of an ordinary person, would have no problem. The Speed Force would protect you.

Lin Li was speechless about the Speed Force. What would Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and countless other scientists think?

Speed Force, you're amazing, you win. You truly are the most powerful force that violates all laws of physics.

Even with such an absurd increase in speed, Lin Li didn't think Barry or the Speed Force was incapable. The Speed Force was inherently an unimaginable power. What was truly lacking was Barry's willpower; he didn't have strong willpower.

The wind grew stronger and stronger. The tornado, kicking up dirt, turned gray. Heavy, oppressive.

Barry took a deep breath and ran towards the tornado, trailing yellow lightning.

Yellow lightning coiled around the tornado created by Mardon.

Mardon, seeing the yellow lightning circling him again, let out a frantic shout, "Die, die, die... I will destroy you all! Everything!"

Only the wind howled and swirled, trees snapped and were recklessly swept away. The noise was too great; Mardon's mad shouts could only be heard by himself.

Barry sprinted against the tornado. The wind that whipped towards him felt like knives, scraping his face with a dull ache. It was also like a charging vehicle, the pressure pushing against him, making it difficult to run under unprecedented pressure.

Mardon's control made the tornado increasingly powerful, plowing a deep ditch into the muddy ground.

Barry felt his speed was slower than ever, and the pressure in front of him grew with each wave.

Finally, amidst Mardon's wild laughter, the yellow lightning was blown away.

Barry was swept up and flung away by the tornado, tumbling several times.

He got up, looking at the tornado with fear, and called into his communicator, "I can't, I can't do it. I was blown away by it. I can't stop it. Lin Li, when can you get here?"

The violent tornado made Barry scared, timid, and powerless. He couldn't stop such a savage, terrifying weather phenomenon. In the end, he was just an ordinary person who could run a little faster. The confidence he had just gained was shattered again.

He called out to Lin Li, placing all his hope on him. Lin Li was too powerful for him. Lin Li had even saved his life. What he couldn't do, Lin Li definitely could.

He placed everything on Lin Li without reason: all his hopes, all his powerlessness, his city, his friends, and family.

What a joke? A transmigrator who ends up in The Flash, and in the very first episode, Central City is destroyed by the Weather Wizard? This plot is messed up.

Lin Li gripped the communicator and said fiercely, "Barry, you have to be able to do it."

"NO, I can't. Only you can stop Mardon. Sorry, I can't do it."

Barry said with a crying voice. Once this tornado truly formed F5 level power, it would be a disaster, a disaster that would destroy Central City, causing devastating blows to everyone: friends, family, work, dreams... everything.

Caitlin, Cisco, and even Joe were silent, filled with despair. Everyone wanted to do something to change the situation, but the circumstances were too dire, and the situation couldn't be changed. They could only remain silent and despairing.

Damn it, Barry's willpower is too fragile.

Lin Li cursed inwardly. In the current situation, there was no Wells to encourage Barry. Everything had changed since he arrived. At this most critical moment, the character who was supposed to drive the important plot forward was missing. What could be done?

Where could he find Wells to encourage Barry now...

Wait, it's just encouragement.

Lin Li's head went ding. If his head could light up, it would be emitting a bright light right now, signifying he had found a solution.

Wells isn't here.

I'll do it!

"Barry, listen carefully."

Lin Li's voice came through the communicator, and the few people couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Barry listened intently, believing Lin Li must have a way.

"I can't get there. I'm stuck at the third red light."

"Central City isn't my city. I don't care. I don't have my beloved here."

"I don't have my job, my dreams, my family."

"Even if it's destroyed, I can go to another corner and continue to survive."

Lin Li's cold and heartless words sent chills down Barry's spine.

"Lin Li, for..."

Before Barry could finish speaking, Lin Li interrupted him directly.

Then, a furious roar came from the communicator.

"You are The Flash. You have to protect your city, not rely on an outsider."

"Your friends Cisco, Caitlin, Wells, your lover, your father, your father in prison and Joe."

"All of this must be protected by you."

"You need to be a hero. Do you have the resolve of a hero?"

"Do you have the determination to die a hero?"

"Protect this city. Protect everyone you care about."

"Tell me!"

Lin Li's furious roar was deafening, his gradually rising voice stimulating Barry's every cell.

A surge of hot blood erupted from Barry's chest.

It burned his body, making him feel as if every cell was intensely scorching.

He recalled everything: his father in prison, Joe, the people he loved and lived with for over a decade, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, Dr. Wells, all the good things about this city.

Every scene flashed through his mind.

With each passing image, his heart grew more resolute.

His actions and dreams became more determined.

Barry responded to Lin Li with a fervent roar.

"I do! I have the determination to die protecting everything! Tell me what to do!"

Lin Li said in a deep, heavy voice, "Go embrace Joe, then run with your life."

Cisco and Caitlin both felt a shock in their hearts. This... felt like a farewell.

Barry looked at Joe with unwavering eyes, deeply embracing his adoptive father, the father who had raised him for fourteen years, the person closest to him.

He said softly, "Joe, don't worry, I'll protect you."

Joe didn't know how to react, but he felt as if Barry was bidding him farewell, as if he were leaving him forever. This made him reluctant to let go, and he held him tightly.

Joe shook his head, tears in his eyes, "No, Barry... don't..."

Barry struggled to break free from Joe's embrace and transformed into yellow lightning, charging towards the tornado.
