Chapter 23 Burning

Reed sat on a chair in the laboratory and stretched his palms into a huge cattail leaf fan. When he waved it, he tried to fan the air and bring himself a bit of coolness.

"Huh...huh...why is it so hot..."

Reed kept fanning, hoping to bring some weak wind.

His hands moved quickly, fanning the surrounding air. Despite his continuous efforts, the temperature in the laboratory still seemed to be rising. Reid felt sweat dripping from his forehead, and the hot feeling made him a little uneasy.

Is the temperature control system broken? No, SHIELD shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

The temperature in the laboratory continues to rise, and a strong heat wave permeates the air, making the oxygen in the air seem to become thinner.

Reed felt his clothes clinging to his body, wet, and letting out a trace of heat steam.

The heat was like an invisible flame, burning every inch of his skin, making his breathing rapid and difficult. He felt thirsty, and it seemed as if a fire was burning in his throat.

The temperature in the laboratory has far exceeded the normal limit, and it feels like being in a furnace. The instruments and equipment are making whining sounds and cannot withstand such high temperature.

"What happened! Fury?! Sue?! This joke is not funny, not funny at all!"

Reed rushed towards the door of the laboratory angrily. He slammed the door button hard, hoping to escape from this scorching place.

"Open the door! I am Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, open the door for me!" he shouted, hoping that the access control system could recognize his identity and unlock the door.

However, the access control system only issued two beeps in response, displaying the warning message "Unidentified, this person is not found in the database."

"This is impossible! I am a registered hero and I have a record in SHIELD!" He roared angrily and punched the door.

However, the access control system still did not respond, and the laboratory door was still closed.

Reed cursed damn in a low voice, rolled his eyes, and quickly compressed his body like a spring before slamming toward the ventilation duct on the ceiling in the corner of the room.

However, when he tried to grab the louvers of the ventilation duct, his hands just slid across the smooth metal plate. His mood instantly fell into despair, and anger burst out.

Just after Reed landed in despair, he realized that things seemed to have gotten worse because there was a strange movement coming from the wall next to him.

His eyes widened and he looked in horror at a gun barrel protruding from the wall. In front of his eyes, flames and fuel spurted out from the barrel, forming a terrifying tongue of flames and struck him.

Damn it, who wants to harm me!

Reed's body began to become soft and elastic, and he stretched like rubber, using his ability to quickly bounce in multiple flames.

His body contracted like a spring, and then suddenly expanded, bouncing him away from the range of the flames. With every bounce, he was like a flexible projectile, flying across the burning flames.

"What the hell happened? Fury! Are you watching the surveillance? Help me!"

Fury didn't respond, and the only response Reed got was that more gun barrels continued to protrude from the wall, spraying flames at him as he dodged and moved.

The flames were raging in the laboratory. Reed kept avoiding the flames, but the gun muzzle on the wall kept spraying red flames, forming a sea of ​​​​fire. Almost the entire room was swallowed up by the flames, and the fierce fire filled the air.

Thick smoke filled the air.

The white coat, chair, instruments, and everything else burned in the flames, making crackling sounds. The white coat on the chair was swallowed up by the flames and quickly burned to ashes, leaving only sparks flying in the sky.

The equipment in the laboratory was not immune. The chemical bottles burst, making violent explosions and releasing devastating flames and smoke. The flames made the walls look like black coal, began to melt, and hot liquid flowed down.

The entire scene became chaotic, and the violent flames turned the laboratory into a hellish scene. Reed felt a strong heat wave hit, his skin was burned, and he could feel his clothes starting to melt.

Why.

Why?

Why!

Reed fell down next to the experimental table in the center of the room, looking desperately at the flames attacking him.

Suddenly, Reed noticed that the skin of the corpse on the table began to melt under the burning of the flames, exposing the broken bones. His eyes stared at this scene, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to understand something.

He looked up at the ceiling, laughed crazily, and roared: "Fury! You blind son of a bitch! I know what you are afraid of! You are afraid of the future!"

His voice echoed in the burning laboratory, like the angry roar of a wounded beast. There was a sense of madness and despair in his laughter.

"You idiot, can't you see clearly with one eye? Our resistance is in vain! Why not join those evolved creatures? Don't you understand the beauty of immortality!"

Feeling the high temperature of the flames, his body began to be irreversibly affected by melting. The burning flames eroded his elastic muscles and soft skin, and the rubber-like muscles gradually lost their original elasticity. His skin began to melt and turned into

A pool of scalding liquid with a burning smell.

The flames licked his body, causing him to feel immense pain.

His body was like a piece of melting rubber, with deep depressions and traces of dissolution beginning to appear on the surface. The elasticity gradually disappeared, becoming soft and fragile.

"Ah - it hurts! It fucking hurts!"

"Just a few more minutes, just a few more minutes...I can evolve Susan and the others into new humans! We will-"

Reed's limbs gradually deformed and fell into a pile on the ground.

His nose fell to the position of his mouth, one eye softened into a puddle, the other stuck out of the eye socket like a stick, and his ears flowed down to his legs. He had lost his human characteristics and gradually blurred into a twisted mass.

No one would think that this thing is still a living human being, but it is still roaring, but it is still wailing.

"Do you think you can escape from the zombie's mouth by killing me? It's impossible! It's only a matter of time before you are eaten!"

"Ahhhhh! My hand!"

The flames finally enveloped Reed's body, and his voice gradually disappeared in the blazing flames. His last words echoed in the air.

"Wo...not...willing..."

As time passed, the flames gradually receded, and the raging flames dissipated in the air. The room gradually returned to silence, and everything was covered with coke and ashes.

At the same time, the muzzle on the wall retracted to its original position and disappeared into the wall, as if it had never existed.

Everything was burned away, leaving only the black mass in the center of the room. From the shape of the charcoal, it could be vaguely recognized that it was once a part of Reed's body.

Although it has now completely lost its original elasticity and vitality and has become stiff and fragile, it still retains some residual outlines.

At the moment before his death, the remains stretched out his hand, or part of his body, towards another mass of charcoal on the table.

...

...

Everything that happened in the surveillance was clearly visible to Bai Ye. He smiled with satisfaction as he watched the charred ball crack into several pieces.
