#327 - Fire at the Cadmus Institute

In the end, Dick and Wally still got into the beat-up car, thanks to the car being reasonable and understanding the urgency of the mission, not making things too difficult for them. Normally, they wouldn't be so lucky.

The speed of the beat-up car was directly proportional to its flashy appearance, and it didn't take long to carry everyone to their destination - the Cadmus Institute.

Everyone got out of the beat-up car and immediately ran towards the firefighters, ready to get first-hand information from the scene.

"I'm Aqualad, Aquaman's sidekick, what's the situation here?" Jackson first stated his identity before asking about the situation at the scene, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, after Aqualad stated his identity, the firefighters immediately told him the situation.

"It seems something exploded in the laboratory." The firefighter said, pointing to the third floor. "The personnel on the first and second floors have all been evacuated. But the people on the third floor are trapped there."

Aqualad looked up and saw that the windows on the third floor were indeed open, and three lab personnel were standing inside calling for help. Through the windows on the second floor below them, they could see that it was already a sea of fire.

"That's strange." The firefighter muttered. "I've never encountered a fire like this before, spreading so fast, but it never reaches the third floor. It's really weird."

Aqualad, with his superhuman senses, heard the firefighter's muttering, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately understood what he meant.

Obviously, this experienced firefighter had already noticed something was wrong, but he was afraid that there might be some supernatural power inside that he couldn't handle, but the sense of justice in his heart still prompted this warrior to quietly remind Aqualad, in case the latter couldn't see it.

"Thank you." Aqualad responded in a low voice.

Although the main purpose of their mission was to investigate the Cadmus Institute, they would have investigated it thoroughly even without the firefighter's reminder, but the firefighter's sense of justice still made him admire him.

Seeing that Aqualad understood what he meant, the firefighter pretended that nothing had happened and continued to stop the fire.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a small explosion occurred on the fourth floor above the third floor. One of the three lab personnel on the third floor was startled and fell out headfirst without standing still.

"Ah!" The lab personnel fell from the air, flailing his arms and legs, and was about to die on the spot.

However, a yellow shadow was faster than him. In the blink of an eye, not only the lab personnel falling from the air, but even the lab personnel trapped on the third floor had disappeared.

When everyone came back to their senses, the three lab personnel had come to a safe area on the ground. The three lab personnel still maintained the actions of the previous second, begging for help and flailing their arms and legs.

The two lab personnel who were begging for help had already reacted. The one flailing his arms and legs closed his eyes because he was afraid, and because he was too afraid, he didn't feel that his feet had actually touched the ground. He was still flailing his arms and legs, and finally tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground.

"Ahhh, ouch!" The fallen lab personnel opened his eyes blankly, and then saw his colleagues and others staring at him with strange eyes.

"My bad for being late." Kid Flash helped the lab personnel up from the ground. "You're okay now, sir."

"Ah? Oh, oh, oh." The lab personnel awkwardly tidied up his clothes. "Thank you, Flash Boy."

Kid Flash's face immediately fell when he heard the lab personnel's name for him, and said, "It's Kid Flash! Sir!"

"Good job, Kid Flash." Aqualad walked over at this time and patted him on the shoulder. The surrounding crowd also applauded him.

"I like to be one step ahead." Kid Flash puffed out his chest, receiving the praise of the crowd.

"Then you may be one step behind this time." Yang Le moved his crab legs over, followed by a apprehensive Miss Martian.

"Didn't you find that someone is missing?"

Reminded by Yang Le, Kid Flash and Aqualad immediately reacted. Miss Martian was next to Yang Le, so it was self-evident who was missing.

"Robin." ×2

Kid Flash and Aqualad immediately said in unison, and at the same time helplessly covered their heads. They had already heard about the Batman family's departure from their elders, but it was the first time they had experienced it themselves.

"He disappeared as early as when Aqualad was communicating with the firefighter." Megan said in a low voice, she buried her whole body behind Yang Le, as if she was afraid of something?

Wally was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Martian? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine." Miss Martian squeezed out a wry smile. "It's just a little too hot."

'Martians have a natural fear of fire.' Just as Wally wanted to ask more questions, Yang Le used telepathy to project his words into the minds of the three.

The developed brain has brought a lot of convenient abilities to Crab Armor Overlord. Although Ben only used his bioelectricity ability in the original book, the production team came out to clarify that Crab Armor Overlord is not an electric alien, they are super powered.

'Wow!' Megan was a little surprised, and even the fear of the fire temporarily disappeared. 'So Mr. Yang Le also has mental abilities!'

No wonder everyone didn't notice, Crab Armor Overlord originally used sound waves to speak, so everyone didn't realize that he didn't actually open his mouth to speak.

'That's not important.' Yang Le did not respond to the girl. "We are still on a mission, Miss Martian."

After reprimanding the girl slightly, Yang Le continued.

'Miss Martian's strength will be greatly reduced because of her fear of fire. As her teammates, what you need now is to help her overcome difficulties.'

'Understood.' Aqualad drew out the water container behind him, and the marks on his arms glowed with a cold white light. The fire hydrant next to him made a tooth-aching creaking sound. After a second, a huge stream of water spewed out of the fire hydrant.

Although the water flow was turbulent, not a single drop was wasted. It was all under Aqualad's control, like a water dragon drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

"Drink!"

Aqualad waved his arms, and the water dragon immediately rushed towards the research institute. The sea of fire, which was originally faintly uncontrollable, was immediately extinguished, and only a few wisps of black smoke slowly flew out.

"Creak!"

Yang Le tightened the fire hydrant with his mind power, saving water resources, although the fire was solved, these children still did things a little recklessly.

'Good job.' Yang Le still praised Aqualad, unless there was a huge mistake, otherwise Yang Le advocated that any bad words should be left until they got back, saying it now would discourage the children's enthusiasm.

'Now you should go find the guy who left the team.'
