Lin Feng patiently continued reading the mission.
Wastewater was discharged into the ocean, and the zombie virus spread along with it.
After affecting the world's oceans, marine life carried the zombie virus.
Seafood is one of humanity's indispensable food sources.
Therefore, the zombie virus directly triggered a global ecological collapse.
Almost all humans who had eaten seafood turned into zombies.
The small remaining portion consisted of those who had no food or naturally carried antibodies.
After long contemplation, Lin Feng decided he had to personally investigate this mission.
The mission itself was not difficult, but Lin Feng wanted to go personally to confirm why the wastewater discharge had turned into a zombie virus.
This matter absolutely had to be figured out. Otherwise, if the desperate Neon in the Marvel universe he lived in actually discharged it, and it turned into a zombie virus, wouldn't that be a disaster?
Although Lin Feng possessed the ability to reverse anything, he still needed to know the reason.
He directly took over the clone's body, and a faint sense of weakness washed over him.
Compared to the main body, the clone's abilities were weakened by about two-thirds. Although it made Lin Feng a bit unaccustomed, he was familiar with doing such things before.
Moreover, the clone's overall strength was sufficient.
After absorbing a large number of Infinity Stones and undergoing reinforcement, the clone's strength had naturally followed suit.
"Clones, how do you all undertake missions?"
Lin Feng observed for a long time but couldn't find the coordinates for the zombie universe within the mission details.
Did he have to find it himself?
The clone, hidden in Lin Feng's mind, responded.
"See the 'Start Mission' button below the mission?"
"Pressing the start button will automatically teleport you to the mission location."
Lin Feng looked down along the mission log and indeed found a small button-like element.
He had to admit, this aspect was quite user-friendly.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng directly pressed the start button.
The mission was not overly difficult, Lin Feng could simply breeze through it.
After pressing the start button, a line of prompt also popped up.
[Do you wish to start the mission? Once started, it cannot be interrupted.]
See, how thoughtful, much more thoughtful than Lin Feng's own dog system!
Though not as powerful as the dog system.
The dog system at least got one thing right: providing the Superman bloodline, it was indeed a top-tier system.
After pressing confirm to start the mission, another line of information popped up: If the mission difficulty is too high and cannot be completed, you may seek assistance once randomly (after seeking assistance, mission rewards will be split.)
Good heavens, one couldn't imagine who the genius designer was, it was just like an online game.
Lin Feng sighed briefly, then began the teleportation.
On the Earth of the zombie universe.
The streets of New York.
The once bustling city now appeared dilapidated.
The surfaces of buildings everywhere were pitted, and there were stains, as if no one had cared for them for a long time.
The air carried an unpleasant odor, like rotting raw meat left for a long time.
Good, it had the authentic feel of a zombie world.
Lin Feng walked silently through the streets, using his bio-field to shield his presence.
Occasionally, two or three limping zombies ambled by, completely ignoring Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's super vision detected the presence of some life forms.
In this era, with the zombie virus outbreak, even superheroes had turned into zombies. Ordinary citizens could only hide at home all day, or underground, or flee to relatives' farms in remote areas for refuge.
Lin Feng caught sight of a television screen belonging to someone.
A news report was playing.
[All residents are warned again not to go outside.]
[Please conserve food and water and await rescue.]
[Latest news: As of today, the last remaining member of the Avengers, Hawkeye, has also been infected. Please do not seek help from the Avengers.]
He watched for a while, all recent events with no substance.
The promise of rescue was just something to be heard.
In an era overrun by zombies, even the United States must be struggling to protect itself.
Zombie superheroes alone were enough to give them a headache.
Order was on the verge of collapse; waiting for rescue was no different from waiting to die.
As he walked, Lin Feng swiped down and opened the Exiles' terminal interface.
It showed that the mission had begun, and the countdown had changed from 30 days to 29 days.
He then looked at the mission details.
Collecting zombie virus gene samples and defeating Zombie Hulk and bringing back his corpse were relatively easy.
Whether the zombie gene on Zombie Hulk had changed was uncertain, so he could simply take a bit of blood from an ordinary human who had turned into a zombie.
But a cure for the virus?
This couldn't be solved with brute force alone.
If such a thing existed, the superheroes wouldn't have all turned into zombies.
According to the comics and the information in the mission prompts, Lin Feng should look for the zombified Spider-Man.
Despite turning into a zombie, Spider-Man retained his reason and was still working to restore world order.
Alas, how to describe Spider-Man's character arc... He truly lived up to the title of "friendly neighborhood."
"Huh?" Lin Feng's steps suddenly halted as he was checking the system mission.
Closing the terminal, Lin Feng instinctively tilted his head.
The next second, a pure black metallic arrow whizzed past Lin Feng's head.
Interesting, Lin Feng widened his gaze.
But the sudden attack wasn't over.
A circular golden magic circle appeared in front of the arrow that missed Lin Feng, and simultaneously, a magic circle appeared to the side of Lin Feng's head!
They were portals!
The arrow passed through the two portals and exploded with a bang on Lin Feng's head, sending up a cloud of smoke.
It was an explosive arrow!
Lin Feng found it somewhat amusing and speechless, and didn't deliberately dodge.
According to the laws of "science," smoke without injury.
After the smoke dissipated, Lin Feng's face was revealed.
As expected, he was completely unharmed.
"Roar!"
A non-human roar echoed.
Two attackers leaped from a tall building, landing not far from Lin Feng, confronting him across the street.
"Wong? And... Hawkeye?"
He had just seen Hawkeye turn into a zombie on the news, and now he had run into him.
What incredible luck was this?
The freshly turned Zombie Hawkeye, aside from his gray-white eyes and greenish skin, didn't seem to have changed much.
And the other fat man had become quite unsightly.
He was practically a rotten, decaying rag...
Based on the previous portals and the almost unrecognizable clothing, Lin Feng still recognized his identity.
The librarian of Kamar-Taj: Sorcerer Supreme...
These two appearing together?
Combined with the earlier news, Hawkeye was recently infected.
Lin Feng couldn't help but speculate, could Hawkeye's zombification be related to Wong?
