Just escaped from the zombie's mouth, Peter B couldn't help but grumble a few words.
This was his unique way of relieving stress; the more stressed he was, the more he grumbled.
Getting back to the main topic, Peter B's tone suddenly became serious.
"Guys, the situation is very tricky right now. A Spider-Man from a zombie Universe is preparing to use the super-particle collider device to turn the entire Multiverse into his buffet. We must stop this madman, otherwise all Universes will fall into an irreversible crisis!"
"I know, he already told us about it."
Darian took over, holding up a transparent glass container.
Inside the glass container was a grotesque head, which was the head of HYDRA Spider-Man.
Strangely, his two eyeballs were still rolling, and his mouth opened and closed: "Hello, I'm also Spider-Man. Can I bite you guys?"
Peter B and Gwen were startled.
Just a head could still speak!?
Darian explained: "He was originally a Spider-Man from another Universe, but as soon as he landed, he was bitten by that Zombie Spider-Man. By the time we found him, the entire gang had become a zombie nest."
"So, when dealing with these zombies, never hold back. They have long lost their humanity. The best way is to directly blow up their heads and completely destroy their bodies. Only then can we thoroughly prevent the virus from continuing to spread."
As he spoke, Darian pulled out a glass bottle with a skull logo, unscrewed the cap, and poured the colorless, transparent liquid from the bottle onto several motionless zombie super villains.
The moment the liquid touched the corpses, it immediately made a grating sizzling sound, undergoing a violent chemical reaction. The flesh dissolved rapidly at a visible speed, and even the hard bones were not spared, with plumes of white smoke rising.
In just a moment, where the corpses had been, there were only a few puddles of still slightly bubbling, pungent-smelling blood, leaving almost no trace.
[Item: Hydrofluoric acid (essential artifact for destroying corpses and erasing traces, remember not to pour it in the bathtub)]
Normal hydrofluoric acid isn't that powerful, but this was an item produced by the game system, with extraordinary effects, making it true corpse-dissolving water.
The remains left by these zombies were also one of the hidden dangers for plague spread.
To prevent certain U.S. agencies or mad scientists from collecting the corpses and using them for strange experiments, creating a Marvel version of Resident Evil, these remains had to be cleared on site.
"Darian, how do you even have something like this?" Peter B's expression was a bit strange.
Darian said matter-of-factly: "As a superhero, dealing with criminals every day, it's inevitable to encounter dead people. Isn't it normal to carry hydrofluoric acid?"
That's not normal at all!
Peter B complained wildly in his mind.
Which superhero carries such an item specifically for destroying corpses and erasing traces!
Screech!
Just then, a piercing tearing sound shook the entire laboratory.
In the very center of the super-particle collider device, space was forcibly torn open into an irregular gap, and countless distorted building outlines were vaguely visible in the quantum portal. The door to the Multiverse was being forcibly opened.
Peni quickly reminded: "According to monitoring, the energy readings of the super-particle collider device are increasing exponentially, and the portal to a parallel Universe is about to open. We need to act quickly."
The situation was urgent, and the Spiders immediately took action.
Their plan was simple: use the override key to gain control of the super-particle collider device, forcibly send Zombie Spider-Man back to his zombie Universe, then everyone would go home through the quantum portal, and finally Darian would destroy the super-particle collider device.
As for Max, he was sent by Darian to clear the remaining zombies in the laboratory.
Kingpin and these zombie villains obviously didn't have the habit of 'clean-up operations'. The partially gnawed researchers and security personnel had all turned into zombies and also couldn't be left behind.
Max electrocuted them all into charcoal, then destroyed the corpses with hydrofluoric acid, a complete one-stop service!
Darian, using the web-shooters built into his Spider-Man Suit, leaped onto the ceiling with the other Spider-Men. Four sharp mechanical spider claws firmly dug into the ceiling, securing his body.
The Spider-Man Suit did not have the adhesive ability of the Spider-Men, and wearing the Spider-Man Suit meant he couldn't wear gravity boots, so he could only climb this way.
The control panel of the super-particle collider device was located in the center of the dome, dozens of meters high. This position seemed to be designed specifically for Spider-Man; ordinary people couldn't possibly reach it.
However, Zombie Spider-Man had already been waiting there for a long time.
His feet were firmly adhered to the metal dome, blocking the way between everyone and the control panel.
[NPC: Peter Parker (Earth-2149)]
[Evaluation: From a parallel Universe where everyone turned into zombies, he reunited Mary Jane and Aunt May in his stomach, eventually unable to bear the condemnation of his conscience, resisted endless hunger, and, with his companions, ended the zombie Universe, yet unaware that this was all just an endless cycle.]
As a zombie, he actually became the savior of the zombie Universe.
Should it be said that he truly lived up to being Peter Parker?
However, the last sentence of the evaluation explained everything: no matter what the other party did, it was clearly in vain.
It was like the protagonist traveling back in time to seek the truth, only to find that he was the real cause of the event, a classic time-loop trope.
But judging from the performance of this Zombie Spider-Man, it was clear that the other party could still bear the condemnation of his conscience.
"I didn't expect that Kingpin and those useless guys, and the other Spider-Man, still couldn't stop you guys."
Zombie Spider-Man bared his teeth, revealing blood-stained fangs: "However, you're too late. My companions have arrived."
As his voice fell, several blood-blurred figures suddenly appeared in the violently fluctuating quantum portal, struggling out of the energy vortex, and finally landed heavily on the platform, solidifying.
"I smell fresh flesh!"
"Thank God, this is a brand new Universe, with endless food waiting for us!"
"Give me human flesh! I'm starving!"
"..."
Seeing these familiar yet terrifying figures, Peter B couldn't help but gasp, his voice filled with horror: "Captain America, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Falcon, Black Widow, Daredevil, and Wolverine!"
This was the Avengers and Defenders coming together for a team-building exercise!
The most terrifying thing was that these former superheroes all bore obvious zombie characteristics. Their eyes no longer held their former calmness and rationality, only an insatiable hunger for food.
Clearly, they, like Zombie Spider-Man, were zombie heroes from that zombie Universe!
Zombie Spider-Man said proudly: "I uploaded my zombie gene sequence and reconnected to my Universe. After all, I'm not a guy who likes to eat alone. Good things should, of course, be shared with companions."
He knew that Kingpin and a few others couldn't stop so many Spider-Men.
So he infected Lady Octopus, used her to manipulate the super-particle collider device, and first opened the quantum portal to the zombie Universe, summoning his zombie companions to this Universe.
These zombie heroes looked up at Darian and the others, instantly drooling.
"So many Spider-Men, they look so delicious!"
"I want that female Spider-Man, she looks so tender and soft, her taste must be great."
"That pig isn't bad either. I can't even remember the last time I ate pork."
"Give me that Strange Spider-Man. I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity from him, like he's my son. I've never tasted what my son tastes like."
Darian: "..."
Tony Stark, you're dead!
"Zombie Avengers, assemble!"
Zombie Captain America roared, throwing his battered round shield first, which spun through the air with a whoosh, flying towards the Spider-Men!
To everyone's surprise, Darian did not retreat but advanced, grabbing the edge of the flying shield and throwing it back with even greater force!
Zombie Captain America clearly didn't expect this move and instinctively tried to imitate Darian and catch the shield.
However, the moment he touched the shield, he felt a terrifying force transmit from his arm throughout his body. He was lifted off his feet, flying backward with the shield, and crashed heavily into the metal support of the super-particle collider device, emitting a dull thud!
However, the other zombie heroes did not flinch.
There was no fear in their eyes, only a craving for flesh!
Instinct replaced thought. Several zombie heroes let out frenzied roars, launching a fierce assault on the Spider-Men!
Darian looked at the familiar zombie heroes, his expression sad: "They're all old acquaintances, it's hard to strike!"
Saying this, he pulled out two golden desert eagles and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger, aiming at Zombie Black Widow!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three energy bullets fired almost simultaneously!
Zombie Black Widow rapidly rolled and dodged based on her combat instincts, but unexpectedly, the bullets suddenly drew strange arcs in the air, accurately piercing her head and instantly exploding!
Under the lock of God of Death's Eye, Zombie Black Widow, without superpowers, was completely defenseless.
At the same time, Zombie Iron Man's palm repulsor blast had already struck!
The scorching energy beam tore through the air, heading straight for everyone.
Several Spider-Men reacted extremely quickly, shooting webs almost simultaneously, swinging to quickly disperse and dodge the attack.
Peter B, having swung to a safe position, shouted anxiously: "We must insert the override key quickly! Otherwise, the quantum portal will remain open, and zombies from that Universe will continuously pour in!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Zombie Spider-Man roared, swinging down rapidly from above, pouncing on Peter B and wrestling with him.
The other zombie heroes also entangled the Spider-Men.
Their objective was very clear: stall the Spider-Men, allow more zombie companions to flood into this Universe, thereby increasing their own combat strength, and ultimately eat these troublesome Spider-Men in front of them.
Darian's opponent was Zombie Iron Man.
The opponent's Iron Man Suit was completely different from the version Darian was familiar with, filled with a rough and primitive texture.
The Iron Man Suit was covered with handmade welding marks, and rivets could even be seen at the joints between the metal plates. Even the mask was a simple V-shape design, much uglier than the sleek Iron Man Suit of the main server Tony.
But this did not affect the power of this Iron Man Suit in the slightest. Beams of energy continuously blasted at Darian, melting one charred pit after another on the surrounding walls.
Darian moved quickly between the walls using his mechanical spider claws and asked curiously: "Iron Man, wearing this Iron Man Suit, it should be very difficult for you to get infected, so how did you also become a zombie?"
Logically speaking, Zombie Iron Man had the protection of an almost fully enclosed Iron Man Suit. Unless the suit's defenses were breached, it would generally be difficult for him to be bitten or scratched.
Zombie Iron Man's movements clearly paused, and the voice from under his faceplate carried a hint of embarrassment: "Because I was ambushed at the time and didn't have time to put on my Iron Man Suit."
That's so Tony Stark!
Darian was immediately amused.
It seemed that no matter which Universe's Tony, he would always suffer misfortune when not wearing his Iron Man Suit, which was truly frustrating.
"So, the Iron Man Suit is ultimately just an external thing. Humanity's true strength must still be built upon its own physique."
Darian sighed, then his body was quickly covered in a silver Iron Man Suit with sharp lines and a cold gleam, and two energy whips, shimmering with dangerous blue light, extended from his arms.
It was the Whiplash Armor!
Zombie Iron Man: "???"
Before he could react, Darian flicked his wrist, and an energy whip shot out, precisely coiling around Zombie Iron Man's Iron Man Suit.
Bang!
As Darian exerted force, Zombie Iron Man was forcibly dragged down from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.
Zombie Luke Cage, who was entangled with Gwen, let out a roar upon seeing this, charging towards Darian like a crazed bull!
"Such a familiar scene."
Darian muttered, stepping heavily on Zombie Iron Man, while rapidly flicking his wrists, unleashing a lightning five-whip combo on the charging Zombie Luke Cage!
With a series of crackling sounds, it almost whipped out all of Zombie Luke Cage's human memories.
Darian used his twin whips to bind Zombie Luke Cage's neck, directly using him as a meteor hammer to smash Wolverine, who was in front of Spider-Man Noir, flying!
"Take the override key and insert it into the control panel!"
Darian shouted, deliberately pausing for a moment, then quickly pulled out a metal object and threw it towards Spider-Man Noir.
Spider-Man Noir was about to reach out and catch it when a dark shadow suddenly swept past from the side, intercepting the item first, then soaring into the air, flying high above.
"Hahaha, I got it!"
Zombie Falcon flapped his broken metal wings, hovering in mid-air, letting out a triumphant laugh.
However, when he looked down at the object in his hand, his laughter abruptly stopped.
It wasn't a USB-shaped key at all, but a spherical bomb that was ticking!
Zombie Falcon: "..."
Boom!!
An explosion thundered, and Zombie Falcon instantly turned into fireworks in the air!
Spider-Man Noir: ⊙_⊙
Luckily I didn't catch it.
Taking this opportunity, Darian was about to rush towards the control panel on the dome.
But in the next second, he stopped, his gaze fixed on the quantum portal.
A tall figure was slowly emerging from the fluctuating energy vortex.
The newcomer wore heavy armor, a helmet adorned with wings on both sides, and tightly gripped a uniquely shaped, square-headed war hammer.
