Chapter 35: The Virus Crisis Lifted

Iron Mountain Prison, Medical Room.

Yuri, transformed into a little Wonder Soldier, is standing on a stage and observing the virus with a microscope, with countless test tubes next to him, containing blood samples from all the supercriminals in the Iron Prison.

Blood samples are labeled with different colors, infected and infected, and the label on each tube says the owner of the sample.

On another test bench was the body of a prison guard, who was one of the first infected people to die, from whom a sample of the virus was taken.

Although it is a prison medical room, the equipment inside is more advanced than the medical laboratories of many hospitals, making Yuri's research easier.

Wally, wearing a gas mask, stood by, occasionally going out to walk around the prison to check on the lives of those who had been infected and if any new ones had appeared.

It didn't take long for Yuri to figure out the nature of the virus, and he jumped off the microscope and fell into deep thought with a frown.

Seeing this, Wally immediately asked nervously, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Yuri turned his head and explained to him.

"The virus is very aggressive, and from the moment it enters the host, they multiply wildly to invade the lungs and throat of the human body, eroding tissues from the inside out."

"Within two hours of the virus being infected, the lungs are converted into gelatin-like sludge, suffocating to death."

"They can also induce chaos in the human immune system, so that they can run rampant in the human body, and will not be blocked or counterattacked by any immune cells, so the infected person will basically not have aura symptoms."

"I named it the Frenzy Virus."

Wally nodded to show that he understood, and hurriedly asked, "So what are we going to do about this madness virus?" ”

"First we need to find the right antibodies, I've tested all the samples, only the steel beams, the tar pits, the old cicada heads, and the whisperers can completely ignore the threat of the virus."

"Both the steel beams and the tar pits have complete bodily mutations, one made of steel and the other made of tar, and the virus doesn't work on them."

"The old cicada head is special, he is not immune to the virus, but he has a super regeneration ability, and his regeneration speed far exceeds the reproduction rate of the virus, which makes the frenzy virus unable to make the old cicada head suffer any substantial impact."

"Finally, the Whisperer."

Yuri looked at Wally with a serious expression, "His blood is a little weird. ”

"The Whisperer's blood seems to be immune to everything, not just harmful things like viruses or toxins, and not even the luminol reagent reacts with his blood."

"I think his blood is probably the key."

Hearing this, Wally thought back, "The Whisperer was imprisoned nine years ago, when I wasn't a Flash Kid, but I heard about him from The Flash. ”

"His name is Michael Ammar, a doctor by profession, who created a serial murder case that year, in which he killed twelve people in a row and cut out the tongues of each of them, in order to satisfy his twisted desire to 'want everyone to be quiet.'"

"It is said that none of the scenes at that time could detect Ammar's DNA, and even if a victim desperately fought back and injured him, it would only leave some undetectable blood stains at the scene, and if it wasn't for an accident that left the fibers of his clothes at the scene, I'm afraid no one would have known who the whisperer was."

As soon as the words fell, Yuri suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Want people to 'be quiet'? The frenzy virus attacks the body's respiratory system, and even the throat is eroded except for the lungs, so that people can't make a sound even if they want to speak loudly......"

At this point, Wally also reacted, "You mean, the outbreak of the Frenzy Virus is likely to be related to the Whisperers?" ”

"Quite possibly, maybe the source of the virus is still hiding in his cell."

Yuri looked at Wally, who immediately understood, and when he saw a flash of lightning, Wally's expression became extremely serious, and he had an empty test tube in his hand.

"Ammar is gone, he's not in his cell, he's not anywhere in prison, that's all I found."

As he spoke, Wally placed the empty test tube in his hand on the test table.

"I can still extract a little sample, that's enough."

In just a few minutes, Yuri was able to concoct an elixir that could destroy the Frenzy virus.

After that, things were much simpler, Wally turned on the speed force, and instantly mass-produced the potion against the formula provided by Yuri, and then the next moment he pricked everyone in the prison.

This is the end of the frenzied virus crisis.

Back in the medical room, Wally said with a solemn face: "The Whisperer was originally sentenced to lethal injection, but no matter how deadly the toxin was, it could not kill him, and finally had to be commuted to life imprisonment. ”

"It's impossible for Ammar to create a rampaging virus in prison, which means that someone gave him the virus and saved him afterwards."

Yuri couldn't help but let out a sneer, "If you can't kill by lethal injection, you won't be executed?" Obviously, a single bullet can solve him, and he won't make so many problems now. ”

Wally was silent, if it was in the past, he might have quarreled with Yuri to defend the law, but now he can't be so determined.

Although it has been a few years, that incident has always lingered in Wally's heart, and the person he admired and longed for the most, Barry Allen, the Flash, was once believed by him to be the greatest hero in the world.

In front of the public, in full view of everyone, the line that Batman will never cross has been crossed.

The Flash twists Reverse Lightning's neck, even though he doesn't have to do it to stop Reverse Flash.

This is undoubtedly a violation of the law, but the end result is that the Flash is not guilty, and this is also thanks to Midtown, if it were in Gotham or Metropolis, the Flash would not have escaped prison.

If in a certain situation, a superhero killing a supercriminal would not be considered homicide, then why can't a toxin-immune supercriminal be executed instead?

In other words, why are there only so many states in the United States that have not abolished the death penalty, and why are there only lethal injections even if the death penalty is retained?

A: For the sake of human rights.

Sometimes, even Wally felt that the laws of his country were a ridiculous thing, and even Nightwing agreed with him.

So can superheroes trample on the absurdity of the law? So what's the difference between them and supercriminals? Or how can they make them think that there is a difference in their hearts?

Wally thought about it for years, but he didn't figure it out.

Yuri doesn't really care about what kind of bird the law is, he only cares about how much surprise this batch of DNA in the iron prison can bring him.
