Johnny Quick saw his sure-kill blow intercepted, and by the opponent who had just run faster than him, his face became even uglier.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you stopping me?"
Barry introduced himself: "I'm Flash, buddy. I think you'd better find a hospital first. Your arm looks really bad."
But Captain Cold, standing behind Flash, said, "No! We can't let him go. You said your name is Flash?
You help me hold him off. This gun will cool down in a few minutes, and then I can completely take him out!"
When Barry heard Captain Cold say "take him out," he quickly waved his hand at him, "No, we can't kill people…"
Captain Cold had a "you're kidding me" expression. He frowned and questioned, "If we don't kill him, what happens when he recovers and comes after us later?"
Barry tentatively asked, "Perhaps we can turn him over to the police?"
Captain Cold scoffed. He pointed a finger at the other side: "You might not know, but there are a few cops among those people over there."
Barry was stunned, looking incredulously at a few of Johnny Quick's subordinates in plain clothes in his camp. They didn't show any police demeanor at all.
Captain Cold slowly said, "Actually, what they're doing now is their real job. Being a cop is just because Johnny Quick needs his own eyes in the police station. That's their side job."
This was not surprising. Even if not in this World, in the normal United States, police stations were also a mixed bag; people of all identities could appear.
It was even possible that a serial killer was lurking in the police station, committing crimes while investigating his own cases.
It's just that they weren't like Johnny Quick's subordinates, whose main occupation was illegal activities and crime. Although the authorities knew about Johnny Quick's methods, they were powerless to change the current situation.
While they were talking, Captain Cold's Cold Gun's skill cooldown was already full. He immediately raised the muzzle, aimed briefly, and pulled the trigger.
27 But just as he touched the trigger, an electric arc suddenly flashed from the Cold Gun, hitting Captain Cold's arm directly and paralyzing him. His hand loosened, and the Cold Gun slipped from his grasp.
Johnny Quick seized this opportunity, threw the second dart from his body, and hit the Cold Gun in mid-air.
The muzzle of the Cold Gun lit up, and a blue light seemed about to gush out.
But Barry reacted in time, quickly pushed the Cold Gun: "No!"
Barry's speed was now incredibly fast, so his gentle push on the Cold Gun directly sent it a hundred meters away into the air.
However, the freezing ray still activated, shooting wildly in the air as the muzzle moved.
Barry immediately activated the Speed Force, emitting a large amount of lightning. He ran desperately through the streets, moving everyone within the gun's target range to prevent anyone from being accidentally hit by the freezing ray.
However, even if the freezing ray didn't reach the speed of light, it was still very fast. If he wanted to save everyone, Barry needed help.
So, from within the Speed Force, he glanced at Johnny Quick: "Do something!"
He hoped Johnny Quick would help him move those people to safety, but Johnny Quick just sneered at him, clutching his frozen arm, and fled directly backward... He had suffered frostbite, and while it didn't affect his running, it greatly impacted his speed. He had no time to bother with the commoners here.
Barry saw that the other party had just left, but he was helpless.
"Barry, if you want to save everyone here, there's only one way," Little Flash reminded him at this moment.
Barry subconsciously asked, "How do I do it?"
"You must become faster! Faster than the freezing ray!"
Barry looked around. Although he had just saved many innocent bystanders who were caught up in it, there were still quite a few people left on this street.
More importantly, the freezing ray had a very long range. Not only this street, but even several kilometers away, the freezing ray still had lethality.
Barry could only do his best. He took a deep breath, changed his mask to a fully enclosed one, and restarted his acceleration!
In this speed domain, everything around him completely froze. Barry tried his best to move all citizens within range out of the gun's line of fire.
Along the way, he also occasionally threw pebbles to hit the freezing gun in mid-air, adjusting its muzzle position to keep it as far away from crowded areas as possible.
