Chapter 154 Plant Condition
Gotham, the suburbs.

"I said, you can't do this!"

The one who spoke was a trembling old man, wearing an old jacket, with a stooped figure but surprisingly firm eyes.

This is a woodland that has been here since a long time ago.Lush trees surround the lake, the lake is as calm as a mirror, and the breeze blows across the lake, causing circles of ripples.Towering trees and lush bushes form a lush green sea.

But that is in the past.

Now, the place is filled with modern facilities and dust.Roxon Industries bought the land and planned to fill up the lake and push away the woodland.This has become a construction site.

Cranes, bulldozers and forklifts surrounded the forest, excavators continuously shoveled out the sand, and workers' vehicles loaded with sand and gravel were continuously poured into the potholes.

The bronze-skinned foreman wearing a helmet was attracted by the old man's shout, and couldn't help frowning.

"here we go again"

He stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the two staff members who were blocking the old man outside the cordoned off area.

"Back off, I'll be fine."

The foreman stopped in front of the old man and said impatiently: "Why are you here again? I should have said yesterday that I will not be polite next time."

"No, you don't understand," said the old man emotionally, "this is a cursed jungle, as it has been since long ago.

A long time ago there was a swamp here, a swamp where sin was buried!A notorious drug lord in this city slept here many years ago, because his vile behavior offended the wrath of the swamp god!

This is a habit that the nearby residents have established for many years, and no one dares to pass by here at night, because we all know that the god of the swamp lives here.”

"Pull it down." The foreman interrupted impatiently, "Listen, old guy. The thing is, our schedule is already very tight, and now it seems that an unknown environmental terrorist is eyeing this project
So now we are all under a lot of pressure, and we don't have the heart to listen to those boring urban legends.If it's sensible, this should be the last time you come here to harass us.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning.”

A harsh noise interrupted him, followed by an unsettling boom.The foreman was taken aback and turned around: "What's going on?"

"It's the drilling rig. There seems to be something wrong with the drilling rig."

The foreman ignored the old man for the time being, and quickly went over to check the situation.

"It seems to be a failure of the hydraulic system. You have to take it apart to find out what's going on."

The shell of the machine has been disassembled, exposing the structure below.But the picture that appeared under the shell made everyone stunned.

It is grass.

Or to be more precise, it was all kinds of grass-like plants that spread into the inside of the equipment from nowhere, and at this time extended from the gaps in the machine.

"To hell with it."

The foreman grumbled, and suddenly heard someone screaming behind him.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a worker dragged into the darkness with his legs bound and disappeared without a trace.

"What's going on!?" The foreman was stunned.

The next moment, the lights went out.

The jungle fought back.

Rows of vines protruded from the darkness like tentacles, and the domineering force engulfed everyone in the field, dragging them into the darkness involuntarily.The ground cracked, unknown plants sprang out from the ground, the excavator was overturned to the ground, sparks exploded from the equipment, and the cables were cut in two.

The sound of heavy objects falling, explosions, and the screams of workers could be heard all at once, and the plants occupied the entire area in an instant, and the construction site was in chaos.

The old man huddled in the corner, watching the plants in front of him jumping out and flying around, he couldn't help shivering.

"I warned you, I warned you a long time ago"

Midtown.

"So, you're sure you've traveled through time?"

In the coffee shop in Midtown, Shen You looked at Barry suspiciously across the dining table.

"At least 90.00% sure no, 87 is ten, nothing less." Barry said firmly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Shen You picked up the coffee and took a sip, at the same time he quickly commented in his heart that it was not as good as his own.

"Okay. Huh. It's nice to have someone say this, I really don't have anyone else to share it with." Barry took a deep breath and said, "That's right. You know, I've been trying to uh... use my talents to help others some type of.

Then there are some guys with superpowers coming out of Midtown recently.One of them was the one I encountered yesterday, who can manipulate the weather and calls himself a 'weather wizard'."

This Shen You has an impression that he seems to be a member of the "Rogue Gang", the classic fan group of The Flash.But in fact, this person does not rely on superpowers, but a black technology device "weather wand", which was made by a scientist named Clyde, but was taken away by the weather wizard.

"Simply speaking, the weather wizard was cornered by me, and he decided to give it a go. Then the weather wizard activated his ability. I've never seen him activate such a powerful force before. He wanted to cause a tsunami to flood Midtown. Although I found and knocked him out, it was too late, and the tsunami was unstoppable.

And obviously I don't have your strength, I can't push it back.So I came up with an idea."

"You run as fast as you can along the coastline, trying to create a wall of super speed force to push it back, right?" Shen You said.

Barry showed surprise: "How do you know?"

"Guess."

Shen You remembered that the first season of the American drama "The Flash" had this plot.That was the first time Barry traveled through time and space. At that time, The Flash was still a rookie who had just debuted. He ran as fast as possible in order to push back the tsunami, but accidentally rushed into the space-time tunnel, and it was already a day ago when he came out.

"Yeah, after I came back this time, I knew the position of the weather wizard one day in advance and controlled him, but I still think it's impossible. Although I'm fast, I can't be faster than light."

"That's not certain." Shen You said, "Maybe the situation was urgent at that time, and you broke through the limit without realizing it. Or maybe it's just your instinct that touched a part of the hidden characteristics of the Speed ​​Force."

Different versions have different settings for the Flash to travel through time.Sometimes the setting requires him to travel faster than the speed of light, but not in similar TV series.

Shen You wasn't there at the time, and he didn't have any data, so he couldn't just draw conclusions before further research.

"We may need to do some testing, or if we can figure out a way to extract the Speed ​​Force energy from your run and store it for research."

"Like a treadmill?" Barry suggested.

"That's right, you are very smart like a treadmill." Shen You smiled.

He didn't have much contact with the time system in the Kingdom of Light before, but it is still very important to understand the laws of this part in DC.Because of the existence of the special group of speedsters, there are more outrageous incidents of messing with time on DC's side than on the Marvel Studios next door.

Figuring out how this part of the rules work is not only a necessary skill, but also a means of self-preservation in those dizzying time crises in the later stage.

And in the entire DC Universe, the one who can help him master this knowledge the most is definitely the Barry in front of him.

And the device called "cosmic treadmill" is an indispensable artifact among them.Tailored specifically for The Flash, it can store, amplify, and release the speed force, and even add the ability to manually set which specific timeline, which point in time, or which specific parallel world to cross, so that the Flash can run fast enough Going to any dimension and any time and space at a directional and fixed point at a certain speed.

In the big event of Zhenglian vs. Avengers, the third-generation Flash even successfully used the cosmic treadmill to pass through the blockade of the DC universe and ran to Marvel next door.

While speaking, Shen You had already included this equipment in the list of follow-up to-do items.

The list is pretty long so far
"But there is one thing you need to know." Shen You said solemnly, "Even if you successfully master this technique, it is definitely not a trick that you can use casually.

Time travel is very dangerous.Disturbing the laws of time can cause a series of troubles, and even the slightest change in the past can lead to devastating consequences"

"The butterfly effect, I still understand this." Barry nodded repeatedly.

"It's not just that." Shen You said, "It may also cause a series of other troubles, but I will talk to you slowly in the process of research later."

The most famous event "Flashpoint" caused by The Flash almost destroyed the whole world, and even if he undid the changes to the past and tried his best to keep the history intact, it still led to the reshuffle and restart of the settings of the main world.

Many heroes died because of this, many people never even existed, and more origin settings were changed as a result.

Not to mention that time travel is also dangerous for the speedsters themselves.Traveling through time has a certain probability to attract the attention of the "time undead", an undead that inhabits the speed force field and specializes in obliterating those speedsters who mess with time.Theoretically, once targeted, no speedster can outrun the Time Undead.

"Oh sorry, wait a minute, I'll take a call."

Shen You gestured to Barry and connected the phone.

It was Carla calling.

"what happened?"

"Uh, I thought you might want to come back and take a look." Kara sounded a little embarrassed, "There's... a little vegetative situation on our side."
