Seeing that the worker Mike's condition was wrong.
"Everyone back up!"
Kara immediately shouted a warning to the surroundings.
However.
There were actually no workers left here.
Only Ian remained. But the boy was currently crouched in front of a sewage pond, intensely sniffing the poisonous gas emanating from it, completely ignoring Kara's warning.
[Hydrogen Sulfide Poisoning]
Ian looked at the newly acquired negative effect.
Greatly perplexed.
"This water is fine; it's just normal wastewater." He had assumed the water in the pond would be some kind of bio-engineering liquid, but the reality was that events clearly weren't following the classic plot.
"We need to take this person to a hospital." Kara frowned. Compared to what was happening, she was more concerned about the worker's life.
"Wait, Auntie, do you have some misunderstanding about hospitals?" Ian dusted himself off and looked at the worker crawling on the ground, his flesh constantly surging.
He wasn't cold-blooded.
He was just very aware that hospitals also had their limits.
"We can't just leave him, can we?" Seeing the worker only roaring on the ground, constantly repeating the same phrase, Kara abandoned her defensive stance and walked forward, attempting to soothe him.
"Sir, I need you to stay calm, slow your breathing—" She tried to support the trembling worker, but unfortunately, her touch seemed to disrupt some subtle balance within the worker's body.
"Aaaaah!"
The worker roared in pain again, facing the sky.
The next moment.
The guy's flesh and blood were visibly surging, and his muscles suddenly swelled like they were being inflated. His work uniform sleeve ripped open with a "Tear!" sound, revealing skin that had been colored a bright, oily green.
Soon.
This green color completely spread across the entire body of worker Mike.
He even grew sharp fangs, and his white eyes were filled with coldness—seeing this, Kara was shocked and quickly retreated a few steps, creating distance from the mutated worker.
"This... this is impossible."
Kara murmured in disbelief.
Even claiming to be well-informed, she had rarely witnessed such a rapid mutation process.
"Roar!!!"
Mike—or rather, the creature that once was Mike—let out a deafening roar facing the sky. Green mucus dripped from his fangs, stringing out.
The mucus corroded small, white-smoking pits in the ground.
Extremely corrosive.
The creature's mutated, over three-meter-tall physique looked terrifying. The bulging muscles beneath the fluorescent green skin looked explosive, capable of unleashing terrifying power at any moment.
"Crap! A little Green Giant! The DC Universe has its own Hulk? I haven't even turned green yet and I'm already a copycat!?" Ian also shouted in shock. He saw the green behemoth's eyes, bloodthirsty and full of rage, raise a claw-like palm and swing it at his Auntie.
"Let me do it!"
Ian wanted to seize the opportunity to leach experience.
Unfortunately.
He wasn't fast enough.
"Damn it! He's completely a beast now!"
Kara had no time to deal with her nephew's nonsense. The mutated worker swung a claw, and she dodged sideways. The green giant claw grazed the "S" emblem on her chest battlesuit.
A string of orange-red sparks immediately flew up.
"Hiss! Is that Auntie's skin of steel!" Ian was genuinely amazed by Kara's bulletproof physique. Unfortunately, his praise did not provide Kara with positive emotional value.
"Say less if you can't speak properly!"
Kara landed an uppercut on the mutated creature's jaw. The latter staggered back three steps but quickly roared and charged again. She caught a glimpse of Ian quickly running, trying to approach the battlefield.
"Stay back!"
Kara kicked a nearby large iron barrel toward Ian. The force was not great; it was only intended to stop the child Ian from interfering. However, Ian deftly dodged it sideways.
"Come on! Skin of steel is amazing, but my limited-time skin of immortality isn't bad either! Let me leech, let me leech! Just let him smash me twice!"
Ian's eyes were filled with craving for experience points.
Yet, as always, the wise are not understood in this world. Seeing that Ian intended to enter the dangerous fight, Kara quickly kicked the approaching mutated worker away.
Then.
As the worker flew backward, she instantly dashed forward, and amidst the worker's pained roar, she directly pulled a thick iron chain over and bound him to a water tower.
This could hardly be called a fight.
The green-skinned monster might have strength capable of tearing steel, but in front of a Kryptonian, it was like a kindergarten child challenging a professional boxer. After all, the DC cheat race was just that unreasonable.
Ian looked on with extreme envy.
"Traitor! Woman! You betrayed your class!" The mutated worker might still have a mind, but it was disturbed. He struggled while letting out a furious roar at Kara.
"Slavery! Oppression! This world shouldn't be like this! We must change it! Change it! For everyone! For glory!" The mutated worker's eyes were full of madness.
He was struggling wildly.
The water tower was shaking.
But his strength was not enough to break free. The mutated worker continuously writhed, trying to escape the restraints of the iron chain, but the chain was extremely thick, preventing him from moving even an inch.
It seemed.
Even though Supergirl Kara was young, she was quite adept at bondage.
"A character like this couldn't possibly hurt my father." Ian was extremely confused. How could someone Kara could handle so easily be the cause of his father's death?
"Hmm?"
Kara, who had dealt with the mutated worker, dusted the rust off her hands. "In any case, you were right. This place truly seems to have a problem, a very big problem."
She examined the mutated worker again.
She felt the matter was very tricky.
If this truly was a contagious disease, as the escaped workers had claimed, it was hard to imagine what the mastermind behind it was plotting. Thinking this, Kara took out her phone and started sending a text message.
"Yes, my deduction is still amazing. It looks like the Joker won't be my doctor after all—his loss." Ian noticed green blood seeping from the struggling green-skinned worker.
It shimmered with a strange, eerie fluorescence.
This was the first time in the real world that he had the opportunity to touch the blood of a supernatural being. His eyes flickered. Ian turned to look at Kara, who was talking on the phone with her back to him.
"Opportunity only belongs to those who dare to explore!" Ian got a little philosophical, walked forward, slowly crouched down, and reached out to touch the blood dripping onto the ground.
At the same time.
The System's voice immediately sounded.
