"Barry..." Bruce mused for a moment before speaking, "We'll be there in half an hour!"
Upon hearing this, Barry nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. He cried out in despair again, "What!"
"Still half an hour!" Barry glanced back to see Superman, his face contorted in ferocity, flying in the air no more than a hundred meters away.
A sense of immense crisis washed over Barry. He flipped, changing his direction of travel.
The next second, a heat ray struck the spot where Barry had just been.
"Oh, God!"
"Buddy, I can't last half an hour! I might die under a heat ray any second now!" Barry yelled, his steps faltering.
The prolonged chase had intensified Barry's exhaustion.
Inside the fighter jet, the few heard Barry's reply, their faces grim, and remained silent.
At this moment, Lin Feng stepped forward, "I can go first!"
Seeing them look at him, Lin Feng nodded and continued, "My flying speed is very fast. Open the fighter jet, and I'll fly there first!"
"Have Barry run in the direction I'm flying! I'll get there as quickly as possible!"
The faces of the others lit up upon hearing this.
Bruce nodded decisively, "Alright, Lin Feng, you go first!"
"You must save Barry and the Mother Box! The fate of Planet Blue hinges on this!"
With that, Bruce reached out and patted Lin Feng's shoulder, his eyes filled with gravity and trust.
Lin Feng nodded silently. With a thought, his black combat suit appeared on him the next second.
Bruce handed Lin Feng a headset, "Take this headset, and we can communicate anytime!"
"Are you ready!"
Lin Feng took the headset, put it on his ear, and replied, "Ready! Open the hatch!"
The next second, Bruce pulled the hatch lever. Air was instantly sucked out of the cabin. Lin Feng offered no resistance and was flung out of the fighter jet with the air.
Bang!
Freed from the fighter jet, Lin Feng turned and flew at breakneck speed towards Barry's location like a shooting star, leaving only several sonic boom clouds in his wake.
His speed was more than ten times faster than the fighter jet!
The people inside the fighter jet were prepared and were not sucked out.
Seeing Lin Feng depart, Bruce closed the hatch, then opened the comms and connected Lin Feng.
At the same time, a green dot representing Lin Feng's position appeared on the fighter jet's control console screen.
Victor, who was checking the data,'s eyes lit up. He said to the others, "There's hope!"
"Lin Feng's flying speed is incredible. At this speed, he should be able to reach Barry's location in under five minutes!"
The others, upon hearing this, visibly relaxed. As expected of a Kryptonian, his flight speed, more than ten times the speed of sound, disappeared from their sight in an instant.
Bruce re-established communication, "Barry, can you hear me, Barry!"
"I can hear you!" Barry's voice came through the comms again.
"Guys, perhaps it's time I said goodbye!"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect the Mother Box..."
Barry, exhausted, spoke as if making his final testament.
"Oh! Barry! Don't give up!" Diana stepped forward, her voice filled with concern.
Bruce also said, "Barry, don't give up! Lin Feng is flying towards you!"
"Hold on for two more minutes! He'll be there in two minutes!"
"Don't lie to me, Bruce, and who is Lin Feng?"
"I'm not lying to you! Barry, Lin Feng is our secret weapon! He's a secret weapon that can contend with Superman!" Bruce said urgently. At this moment, Barry had to see hope, or he wouldn't last until Lin Feng arrived.
After speaking, Bruce operated the console and connected Lin Feng's earpiece to the comms channel.
"Hey! Barry Allen, I am Lin Feng!" Lin Feng's voice echoed through the channel.
Thanks to his bio-force field, Lin Feng could communicate with everyone while flying at super-high speeds. He had heard Bruce and Barry's conversation just now and naturally understood Bruce's intentions.
"Believe me, buddy, I have Kryptonian blood too! I'm rushing towards you! Hang in there!" Lin Feng's concise words were like a powerful shot of adrenaline to Barry's heart.
"Oh my God! Is that true!" Barry sputtered excitedly, while also complaining, "Why didn't you use such a secret weapon earlier!"
The people in the fighter jet exchanged glances. *We wanted to use him earlier too, but the secret weapon only appeared today. What could we do?*
Bruce said, "Barry, run towards your southeast. That's where Lin Feng is coming from!"
"Understood! Sir! I will definitely last two minutes!"
Hope had arrived, and Barry suddenly felt a surge of strength. He squeezed out his last ounce of potential, turning and darting towards the southeast like lightning.
After turning off the comms, the people in the fighter jet focused their attention on the screen displaying coordinates, which showed a line of data and two signal points.
The two signal points were rapidly approaching each other. The data indicated that the points would overlap in just 2 minutes and 38 seconds.
The group prayed for Barry to run a bit faster and for Lin Feng to fly even faster. None of them wanted to witness the advent of disaster!
Meanwhile, Lin Feng had pushed his flight speed to its absolute limit, with radiation from the sun constantly replenishing his energy.
Barry, running at extreme speed, was suffering.
The controlled, corrupted Superman seemed to be playing a game, like a cat toying with a mouse, occasionally firing a heat ray to alter Barry's trajectory.
Barry narrowly dodged them time and again, barely escaping.
He knew that if he was hit even once, he was finished. All he could do now was pray for these two minutes to pass quickly!
Perhaps Barry's luck had run out.
When Superman's next heat ray came, Barry's evasive maneuver was just a fraction of a second too slow. He was grazed on the ankle.
Instantly! Barry cried out in pain and exited his speed state.
Losing his balance, he rolled a considerable distance on the ground before stopping.
That heat ray had only grazed his ankle, yet it had ripped away most of the flesh from his foot.
Intense pain coursed through him, and Barry, covered in cold sweat, clutched his ankle and cried out incessantly.
The Mother Box had also been dropped nearby.
Seeing Barry stop, a cold smirk seemed to flash across the corrupted Superman's ferocious face. He slowly descended from the air and picked up the Mother Box.
Barry watched helplessly as the Mother Box fell into Superman's hands, his heart sinking. Forcing back the pain, he opened the comms.
"Superman hit me! He got the Mother Box!"
Upon hearing this, the pupils of Batman and the others in the fighter jet constricted, and they instantly stood up!
"We're finished, guys! This time, it really is goodbye, or rather, eternal farewell..."
Having retrieved the Mother Box, the corrupted Superman turned his gaze to Barry, who lay collapsed on the ground. The bloodshot eyes began to slowly turn red as he charged up a heat ray!
Barry knew clearly that he could no longer dodge this heat ray. With his severely injured leg, he couldn't use his speed force anymore.
This time, he truly couldn't escape. Barry closed his eyes in despair.
Just then, Lin Feng's voice, like heavenly music, sounded from Barry's earpiece.
"Hey! Barry, I see you!"
