Chapter 60: Jonathan's Poisoning (2k9)
Avery couldn't believe he was outnumbered by David's power.
In the middle of the shattered earth, the soft soil was pressed like a solid stone, the purple ripples on David's body surface were like light waves on the surface of a star, and the purple light in his eyes was blazing like two small suns, which was imposing, and his whole person was like a god descending into the world, and he slowly spoke.
"Obviously, you're not fast enough."
The force of the punch just now forced him to use the power of his body, but after the purple light emitted from his body, no one could detect the discoloration of his skin.
"This power?!"
Falcone and the others got up, stood by the window and looked down, their faces unable to hide their horror.
The earth was compacted by a terrifying force for dozens of centimeters, and the big hole dozens of meters wide, as if a missile washed the ground, was just the result of a simple punch between the two of them.
Batman unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes showed a slight shock, and his expression was complicated and indescribable.
"I don't believe it."
With a roar, Avery stomped through the ground, shooting like a cannonball, and struck again with a fierce roar and fist.
How could he be stopped here.
It's just a humble city on the planet.
"Your aggressive intent is as shallow as your rebellious brain, and it's too easy to see through!"
Easily grabbing Avery with the air-tearing supersonic fist, David slightly tested the level of Clark's current ability, and did not intend to play with Avery anymore, and said coldly.
He held up his other hand, and the green kryptonite ring was revealed.
"It's a meteorite, how do you know my weakness."
Under the radiation, Avery's divine power, comparable to that of a battleship, quickly drained like a flood, and he fell to his knees in pain, looking up in horror.
David, who was clutching his fist, did not answer his interest.
The Black Emperor can bless all aspects of his body such as strength and speed and endurance by consuming energy in his body, but under normal circumstances, he can compete with Coulix with strength, which is more than ten times faster than ordinary people.
"Further up, his fragile body is too much to bear, and a bad control will be torn apart by energy.
And I'm different. ”
A strong body can sometimes provide too much confidence.
Even if he doesn't have the strength of the Black Emperor's ability in his heyday, with the blessing of cosmic energy, his speed can reach four or five times the speed of sound.
"It's still not as fast as Clark, but the gap is four or five times narrower, and Avery with his abilities is no longer so difficult to catch."
Boom!
Avery rolled his eyes and was knocked unconscious, his face flushed and swollen quickly to as high as a steamed bun.
With a slap in the face, a little vent of his frustration at being forced to run to Gotham, David dragged Avery with a ringed and dead dog to leave.
Taking two steps, he remembered something, turned around and raised his finger, a ray piercing the air.
Shout!
"Help!"
Gravel flew from the fifth floor, and the place where Falcone had stepped exploded, and he screamed and fell off the fifth floor.
Batman quickly unleashed his hook and swung over to catch him so that the Gotham mob boss would not fall to the ground before he was imprisoned without a court trial.
"Do you think I'm something you can take advantage of? Old guy. ”
Looking at Falcone, whose face was pale, David turned away and threw a word at Batman.
"He'll leave it to you."
I haven't forgotten the old fellow's secret excitement when he pointed out Avery to him, and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and use him to get rid of Avery who was pressing on top of his head.
David dragged Avery away, and the gangster killers who had been knocked down by the wave of anger got up from the ground in disarray, and the injuries were of varying severity.
But no one dared to block his way, and they all got out of the way in fear of getting out of his way, for fear of getting in his way and making him unhappy.
“……”
Looking at the back of David leading people away, Batman frowned and had no intention of stopping it, and the main one was not sure to stop it at the moment.
He has strict principles of non-killing to prevent descent into darkness, but has little interference with the actions of others.
Having taken over Falcone's bedroom, with a brutal look in his eyes, and looking at others like bugs and slaves, he didn't think that the guy he was taken away would be an innocent and good citizen who usually liked to help his grandmother cross the street.
……
It was the middle of the night when Avery was caught yesterday.
I simply rested in Gotham for the night, and it was dawn in the morning.
Pulling back the thick curtains of another hotel, it was unsurprisingly another cloudy day.
Raindrops snaked through the windows like crying marks, making the good mood of the morning disappear.
Bring out Averiti, who was in a coma in the hotel closet.
The problem has been solved, David is ready to return to the town, and he has been in Gotham for a long time, I don't know if it is because of the bad weather and rainy weather all year round, as if this place really has a kind of magic that makes people unconsciously depressed.
"It's a remote town, but it's comfortable and comfortable."
The town, full of wheat fields and corn, was remote and had nothing to do with prosperity, but it was the place where he lived with his parents and Clark.
After transferring Clark's abilities back to Clark, he can continue to stay in the town and gain ability points from Clark.
After breakfast, David was ready to make a phone call to his parents to tell him that the family was going back today.
But suddenly the phone rings.
"Clark?"
"David, it's not good, Dad is sick and now unconscious in the hospital." Clark's panicked voice came from the other end of the line.
Last night, his father Jonathan came home and said that he had saved people halfway, and the family who was willing to help was very happy, and there was nothing unusual after that, but in the morning the mood became wrong, Jonathan often cried and laughed, and after a while while working in the barn, he fainted and fell into a coma.
"What's going on?"
Just about to go home, Davy's face changed drastically when he heard bad news about his family, and his father had always been physically strong, and he rarely felt tired after a busy day on the farm.
He instantly thought of kryptonite, and if he was exposed to kryptonite radiation for a long time, he would get cancer, like Luthor in the comics.
But kryptonite has always been properly hidden in chests made of lead, and there should be no problems with it through the ceiling walls.
"What's wrong with Dad?" He hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, my dad has been in a coma and fever, and the hospital can't check it out.
But do you remember that new transfer Kayla? ”
In the aisles of the hospital's crowded corridors, Clark looked at Kayla, who had just returned to the ward after some investigation, and lowered his voice.
"She heard about her father and ran to the house, learned about the matter, and after investigation, she said that her father was poisoned by a poison called devil flower."
"Kayla? Poison? ”
David looked ugly.
Was it an accident, or was someone deliberately poisoning?
Kayla, who had been sitting for a while, saw Clark on the phone, and walked over quickly, signaling that she wanted to talk to David.
"David, Kayla wants to talk to you."
Looking at Kayla with a serious look in her eyes, Clark hesitated and handed her the phone.
Although the two had not had much contact before, he felt that Kayla's concern and anxiety after his father fell ill was not fake, but he didn't know where this concern came from.
"Nama.
Your father has been poisoned by the devil's flower. ”
Stepping aside and avoiding Clark, Kayla whispered a quick whisper.
"I heard that your father was sick and rushed to the hospital immediately.
After hearing about what happened to him yesterday, I found that the person he saved also had a high fever in the hospital, and his symptoms were exactly the same, so I went to the section of the road where the accident occurred, and found the devil flower there. ”
"What is a devil flower?"
He didn't care about Kayla's name, and it sounded like his father had suffered an unwarranted disaster, and David's tone was annoyed.
"The devil flower was first discovered by the townspeople hundreds of years ago on a wasteland on the outskirts of the town, and it is a local poisonous flower.
Those who smell its flowers will cry and laugh, inexplicably emotional, as if they have been bent down by the devil, and will soon ......"
"What will happen soon?"
His face changed.
"It will die, so that kind of flower is called the devil flower, and after a short period of madness, it is summoned by the devil."
"Modern medicine can't cure it?"
"At that time, all the devil flowers were burned, and this kind of flower with a harsh planting environment has been extinct for hundreds of years, and the town hospital has no way, and it is ...... People who have been poisoned by the devil's flower generally do not live for a day. ”
Kayla looked at Jonathan, who was lying in a hospital bed in the glass window, and her tone was sad, she had heard something about it in the town, and the father who raised Namar was a good man that everyone praised him.
"Time for a day?"
One day is enough to transfer to a hospital, so that the hospital can immediately research an antidote based on a flower poison that has been extinct for hundreds of years, which is really difficult for a strong man.
David frowned, knowing that no matter how advanced modern medicine was, some of the poisons produced by primitive plants and animals had not yet been attacked.
"Kayla, I remember you once said that your tribe is descended from people beyond the sky,
Is there a way to treat this poison? ”
He didn't believe what Kayla said.
Hundreds of years ago, there were no Americans in this land, it was all native, and he remembered that Kayla was a member of the aboriginal tribe.
Could it be that Kayla hadn't given up on the prophecy and thought of a way to get him to trust her?
When it comes to his parents, David is reluctant to let go of all possible assumptions.
"I can't help it, Nama." In the hospital, Kayla shook her head sadly.
Although their tribe is descended from aliens, they have no high technology.
"You give Clark the phone."
Endure the burning anxiety, David said.
"David, what did Kayla say to you, is there anything you can do?"
Clark asked anxiously, gritting his teeth.
"I can't imagine what this family will become if something happens to Dad."
The younger brother has always had more ways than his older brother, and now he has the luxury of expecting his younger brother to tell him that he actually has other hidden abilities, such as making seriously ill people better with a wave of his hand.
"You appease your mother.
Don't worry, Dad's illness is not a problem. ”
Taking a deep breath, David said quickly.
"I've found Avery, I'll be back in time."
Hanging up the phone, his face was cloudy.
Although my father was poisoned and his life was in danger, anything is possible in this world.
"There are so many ways to bring people back from the dead!"
Putting it aside, just related to Gotham, David can immediately think of clues to two ways to treat Jonathan.
