"Cloak, can you grow large enough to cover the entire Blue Star?" Lin Feng asked thoughtfully.
The Cloak immediately responded with an affirmation.
[If you give me enough energy, I can cover the solar system...]
Hiss...
That powerful?
Lin Feng's brows shot up, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Did he just find a treasure? Was it really the Cloak he was thinking of?
"Can you turn into a hoodie?" Lin Feng asked, trying to transmit energy to the Cloak while confirming his memories of its settings.
The Cloak didn't answer, but simply shivered and turned black.
It then transformed into a black hoodie, which Lin Feng put on.
Awesome!
Confirmed.
With these two functions, Lin Feng was mostly certain that this Cloak was not the one from the movie.
It was likely the red Cloak from the comics.
"Heh heh..." Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh. This was truly an unexpected delight.
He never imagined that by simply undertaking a mission, he'd find the magical Cloak from the comics. It was a massive win!
In the comics, the red magical Cloak was given to Doctor Strange by the Ancient One after he first fought Dormammu and successfully banished him.
Unlike its movie counterpart, this magical Cloak could fly at supersonic speeds, was indestructible, and could also resist magic.
Through the regulation of magical energy, the Cloak could even expand to cover the entire solar system.
Furthermore, through incantations, it could change its original appearance into suits, casual wear, and various other garments.
However, the energy Lin Feng inputted had the same effect.
"Where is your master? Did Strange already turn into a zombie and get eliminated?"
The Cloak hadn't answered this question earlier, and Lin Feng couldn't help but ask again.
[Strange, who is that?]
The Cloak's response made Lin Feng pause.
"There's no Strange in this world?"
"What about the Ancient One?"
[I haven't met any Strange. The Ancient One is already dead. She and Dormammu died together...]
[I haven't had a master since I was created. If you have to say it, you are my first!]
Lin Feng's brows furrowed so tightly they could have crushed ants.
No Strange, and the magical Cloak never had a master?
And what was this about? The Ancient One and Dormammu died together? Damn.
Strange world, but Lin Feng accepted it quickly. He was already quite accustomed to the unexpected.
After all, the Marvel Universe depicted in movies and comics was ultimately limited.
It was natural for there to be universes that were not described or had different developments.
However, learning that he was the first master did make Lin Feng a little happy.
So it wasn't a hand-me-down... He felt relieved.
He had initially planned to give this Cloak to someone upon his return. But since things were this way, he'd keep it for now.
Although its abilities were of no use to Lin Feng...
"Alright, let me think."
"Hmm... Next, I'll look for Zombie Spider-Man."
Even if Lin Feng hadn't finished watching the animated series, at least in the early stages, Spider-Man hadn't turned into a zombie.
However, the mission details clearly stated that Spider-Man had already become a zombie.
But this zombie still possessed his reason and memories.
And Zombie Spider-Man was constantly searching for a cure for the virus, so he might be able to offer Lin Feng some assistance...
And where was Zombie Spider-Man now?
He was on a high-speed train, hurtling along the tracks.
Only a handful of people were on the entire train.
Zombie Spider-Man was in one of the carriages.
Beside him sat Sandman, Winter Soldier, and the second-generation Wasp.
Their destination was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New Zealand base.
According to the information Zombie Spider-Man had obtained, there was a method to cure the zombie virus at the New Zealand base.
Two days ago, the last member of the Avengers, Hawkeye, had also been infected with the zombie virus.
Thus, all the Avengers had fallen, with only Zombie Spider-Man retaining his sanity.
Aside from his terrifyingly pale complexion, he seemed no different from before.
"Is the information reliable?"
Wasp wasn't sitting down but stood in the train carriage, keeping watch.
A faint sadness flickered in her eyes.
When the zombie virus broke out, her father was one of the first victims.
Shortly after, Scott also lost his life to it.
Spider-Man looked up at Wasp and said in a hoarse voice, "It should be reliable."
"The information came from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal communications."
"Without the appropriate clearance, it wouldn't have been possible to send it."
Spider-Man had intercepted the communication yesterday.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
He immediately rounded up Sandman and set off that very night.
However, they encountered an unexpected situation at the train station and were attacked by zombies.
It was then that they met Wasp and Winter Soldier.
After helping Spider-Man and Sandman escape the zombies, the four of them decided to travel to the New Zealand base together.
"How much longer until we arrive?"
Winter Soldier, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his voice also a little hoarse.
He had been quietly cleaning his firearm nearby, with a shield stained with blood placed beside him.
The blood was not from anyone else but Captain America's.
His former friend had turned into a zombie, and Winter Soldier had personally put him down.
Although he showed no outward emotion, Spider-Man could sense Winter Soldier's sorrow.
Just like how he felt when he saw Iron Man turned into a zombie...
Woo~
The train emerged from a tunnel, and sunlight streamed into the carriage.
Spider-Man glanced outside, confirming their location.
"About another hour."
"We don't know if there'll be any combat later, so everyone should rest beforehand..."
Spider-Man uttered a few words and then fell silent again, gazing out the window, lost in thought.
Aunt May, Iron Man, his goofy fat friend, and even his crush had all turned into zombies. The blow to Spider-Man was immense.
Under such oppressive circumstances, Spider-Man couldn't be his usual cheerful self...
If he hadn't held onto the belief in his heart, he probably would have succumbed long ago...
Sandman watched Spider-Man silently from the side, then also turned his gaze out the window.
He didn't know what Spider-Man had injected him with, but Sandman felt incredibly powerful now!
But what was the use of being powerful?
For his daughter, Sandman could go to prison, could accept becoming non-human.
But when his daughter turned into a zombie, Sandman could find no way to reverse it.
Fortunately, Spider-Man had offered hope of a cure.
He had locked his daughter in a safe place. No matter what, he was determined to turn his daughter back.
Even if he himself became a complete monster, even if he lost his life...
