After gathering enough speed and vibrating every molecule in his body so fast that he could actually feel himself entering a state of nothingness, Barry took a sharp turn and rad directly toward the glass wall of the mall.
In a nanosecond, he was already in front of the glass wall, and he could only hope for success.
And then it happened. He saw himself running through the glass wall without shattering it. It was as if he didn't exist at all. His entire being felt like it's in an astral state.
As soon as Barry got in, he saw the faces of the panicked crowd, hundreds of people trying to push each other out of the way so that they could make it to the exit, hoping that they might find a way to escape.
If this continues, there will definitely be a stampede. Barry can see children among the crowd, and they will definitely be the very first victims of the stampede.
He has to take action now.
Barry, in flash time, rushes to the middle of the mall and finds the bomb. It's a miniature nuclear fusion bomb. This just shows that whoever Barry is dealing with is one twisted man and he needs to put a stop to him.
Without giving a second thought, Barry runs up to the bomb and removes it from its stand when suddenly Barry sees the light coming off the bomb actively start to get brighter.
He realizes that it's about to explode. But Barry is a lot faster than an explosion.
Barry immediately runs away with the bomb, vibrating his body so fast that his molecules enter a state of excitement, but it is not just his body. He transfers his momentum to the bomb in his hand and makes it vibrate at the same frequency as his body.
While vibrating along with the bomb, Barry runs directly through the wall and out of the mall in an instant.
The bomb in his hand gets more volatile, and he has very little time to deal with it, even for a speedster, but Barry has a lot of speed to spare.
He runs even faster, running at speeds his team has not seen him run at.
Barry runs an incredible distance away from the mall with the bomb in his hand and just as he feels the bomb is about to explode, he tightens his fingers around it, pulls it back, and then with incredible speed, throws the bomb up in the sky.
The miniature nuclear fusion bomb cube cuts through the atmosphere at the speed of Mach 10.
The bomb reaches high up in the sky and explodes right above Central City, grabbing everyone's attention.
The people of Central City watch the explosion light up the morning sky even brighter, the fireball expands over fifty thousand meters square in area.
If this bomb had exploded inside the mall, it would have completely wiped out everyone inside and the mall itself, but Flash saved the day.
Barry stops running and watches the explosion light up the sky.
"Barry, Barry!" he hears his team call for him through the intercom in his suit.
"Ya, I am fine, I did it," Barry replies back.

Barry returns to S.T.A.R. Labs and is immediately greeted by an excited team.
"DUDE!" Cisco says, approaching Barry, and they do their unique handshake. "You killed it out there. Who would have thought you could run through walls," Cisco says, excitedly.
"Indeed, who could have thought..." Barry says, looking at Dr. Wells while he looks back at Barry with a smile.
"Also another good news," Cisco says.
"Did you figure out who the masked man is?" Barry asks, grabbing Cisco's shoulders with eagerness.
"Well... not that good of a news, but... You hit Mach 4, your highest speed ever!" Cisco says with the biggest smile on his face.
"That's indeed great," Barry says, while trying to sound as excited as possible, though he knows that Mach 4 is nothing compared to what he can actually do.
"You don't sound so excited..." Cisco says, and he notices that Barry is not that thrilled about his new speed achievement.
"Though I would love to celebrate getting faster, our main priority should be figuring out who this masked man is and why does he wants me dead," Barry says.
"Barry is right... If Dr. Wells didn't come up with the idea of phasing, Central City would be mourning the deaths of thousands right now," Caitlin says with great concern.
"Ya... we need to catch our assassin, but how do we do that? We know nothing of him," Cisco says showing concern as well.
"His name is Deadshot!" A deep, raspy, brooding-sounding voice suddenly grabs everyone's attention.
