Chapter 469: Comparing speed

~5 min read 911 words

Amidst the rumbling sound of machinery, the Gas Man, who was on the verge of death, was locked back up in the transparent cell.

Pipe prison corridor.

Dr. Harrison Wells smiled at Su Quan as he walked back: "Barry fought him several times; it was a close call, and he almost died."

"I didn't expect his gas to have no effect on you. How did you manage that?"

"My body can immunize against all viruses." Su Quan looked at him and joked with a smile: "Are you disappointed? Did you lose a means to contain and target me?"

Dr. Harrison Wells chuckled: "We aren't enemies, remember? We are in a cooperative relationship; we are friends."

Su Quan curled his lips: "I'd believe that if someone else said it, but you? Forget it. You've watched Barry grow up from childhood, right? Your feelings for him: father and son? Friends? Master and apprentice? Enemies? It's so complicated. When it's time to act, you should act."

"Cisco, he's a student you think highly of, and you also have fatherly feelings for him. If he affected your plan, you would kill him without hesitation, even if you felt a little sad in your heart."

"Crocodile tears?"

"Heh."

"My life motto is: make friends with heroes, let villains do the work."

Dr. Harrison Wells said with a smile: "You're hurting my feelings by saying that. We've known each other for five or six years, right? I always thought we were already friends."

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally.

Friends?

First, explain why you secretly hid Gorilla Grodd after the particle accelerator explosion?

A gorilla that was affected by the particle accelerator and possessed psychic abilities—who were you guarding against by hiding it?

Also, explain why you often secretly go to see Eddie Thawne? Isn't it because he is your ancestor, and if he dies, you will cease to exist?

And it seems I'm the only one who knows this now, right?

It's not over yet. Explain the Time Vault? And explain the hidden pipe room under the pipe prison?

Of course, the pot shouldn't call the kettle black. Although Su Quan didn't engage in secret maneuvers like him, he definitely couldn't be said to trust him. It was just that the gap in strength was there, so he couldn't be bothered to engage in any petty maneuvers against him.

Heh, just superficial friends, right?

"The Speed Force has been very stable lately, and I've also 'sheared' quite a bit of wool. Do you want to have a race?"

"If we don't race once, you'll never feel secure in your heart, right?"

Dr. Harrison Wells thought for a moment and agreed to Su Quan's proposal.

They had originally had an agreement to have a race, and he really wanted to know how fast Su Quan was. If he didn't figure this out, he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

Having hidden for so many years, he would never allow anyone to destroy his plan.

The person most likely to destroy his plan was Su Quan. Only by figuring out exactly how fast Su Quan was could he plan how to guard against him.

Below the pipe prison, the particle accelerator channel—this was a circular channel built around S. T. A. R. Labs, and it was also the road home that Dr. Harrison Wells had built for himself.

Dr. Harrison Wells took off his glasses and placed them between the two of them as a token of victory.

One lap decides the winner!

Whoever gets the glasses first wins.

"Don't worry, I won't use the Negative Speed Force." Su Quan said fairly.

Dr. Harrison Wells smiled, and red lightning flashed in his eyes. Then, the light grew brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, until his eyes seemed to turn directly into light bulbs emitting terrifying red light!

"One!"

"Two!"

"Run!"

As the voice fell, Dr. Harrison Wells darted out instantly, and the crimson lightning vanished in the blink of an eye.

"His speed is indeed much faster than Barry's!" Su Quan thought to himself.

Azure light lit up around him, and after delaying for a few seconds, he ran out unhurriedly.

A race between speedsters isn't that complicated, isn't that long, and isn't even that flashy.

The result of the race was decided in a few seconds.

"Whoosh—"

With a flash of red light, Dr. Harrison Wells stopped with an ugly expression on his face.

He had finished one lap, reached the finish line, but he didn't see his glasses!

"Whoosh!"

Another bolt of lightning appeared.

Su Quan shook the glasses in his hand and said to Dr. Harrison Wells: "You lost."

"You cheated!"

Dr. Harrison Wells said in a deep voice: "You started several seconds after me, and you arrived after me!"

Su Quan tutted twice and joked: "Can't handle losing? Are you unable to handle losing? I arrived after you because I ran one more lap than you."

"Ran one more lap?"

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

If what Su Quan said was true, it meant his speed was twice as fast as his own!

In almost the same amount of time, he ran one lap, and he ran two laps. Is this possible?!

Even if this wasn't his fastest peak speed, Su Quan couldn't possibly be twice as fast as him—that was too exaggerated!

"I knew you wouldn't believe it."

"See for yourself."

Su Quan threw his phone over.

Dr. Harrison Wells took the phone and was dumbfounded. ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
