"What? So many, so many US dollars?" Captain America's expression changed instantly. He grabbed the banknotes, counted them, and smiled as brightly as a child seeing an ice cream truck.
"I am a loyal soldier! A mere fatal wound is nothing!" He tried to get up gracefully, but when he touched the wound, he hissed and fell back to the ground.
Just as Captain America was about to say that anything was fine as long as it didn't involve his genitals, a deafening roar of engines suddenly came from the distant sky. A menacing-looking flying vehicle tore through the clouds, its tail spewing eerie blue flames, and after tracing a dangerous arc in the low sky, it crashed heavily in front of everyone.
The tank hatch swung open with a "whoosh," and a petite figure nimbly leaped out. She wore a form-fitting black combat suit, a strangely shaped pulse pistol tucked into her waistband, and her short, neat hair billowed in the wind. As she looked up and her gaze swept over the crowd, it suddenly fixed on Ian.
"Uncle Ian?"
The girl was stunned for a moment.
She immediately started by claiming kinship with everyone.
This caught Ian, a skilled fighter, off guard.
Chapter 178 Zombie Alliance! The Gaze from the Dark!
On top of the ruins.
A crack appeared in the dark clouds.
Amidst this desolate, apocalyptic scene, Morgan Stark's figure stands out starkly in the rising dust; she is the daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
Because Tony Stark added some personal touches to the Infinity Gauntlet before Ian reopened the universe, Morgan Stark has always been placed within this microcosm.
This microcosm can be considered Tony's "final Easter egg" before rebooting the universe, and Morgan, who is immune to the zombie virus and placed in it, is a continuation of his bloodline.
They are also the "administrators" of this world.
Fatherly love is so silent, yet so great.
In Western culture, the name Morgan has ancient cultural connotations related to the legendary witch Morgan le Fay. It's easy to imagine that a girl with this name would likely have a quirky and mischievous personality.
Morgan Starkley landed, removed her tactical goggles, revealing a pair of bright, expressive eyes. Her gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally locking onto Ian.
"Uncle Ian!"
Morgan Stark suddenly exclaimed, her voice clear and crisp, and used the [Entanglement] skill on Ian. Before Ian could react and his eyes widened in astonishment, she rushed over like a joyful deer, opened her arms, and hugged Ian's neck tightly.
"no!"
Before Ian could even ask a question, he was jolted back half a step by a solid hug. The girl smelled of engine oil and strawberry shampoo, and her hair tickled his chin. He froze, his hands awkwardly hanging in mid-air, slightly at a loss. The story of Lord Ye's love of dragons had taken on a new interpretation in his case.
Although Ian had always wanted to be Batman's uncle, being suddenly called "uncle" and then given a hug left him a bit bewildered and flustered.
"Well, although I don't mind being an uncle again, how come you're faster at recognizing relatives than I am?" Ian patted Morgan's head cautiously.
It's like comforting a puppy.
"Oh? Uncle Ian, what happened to your face? You had the same expression when my mom caught you stealing my milk powder! I have visual memory, I won't forget!"
Morgan looked up, winked slyly, and faced with Morgan Stark's Gusu Murong Fu ultimate technique and nonsensical combo, Ian's CPU, who should have been an expert in this, was clearly overloaded.
He opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that this was something only his older brother Jordan would do, but no one in the world knew that he had a good brother, which made Ian's face turn a little red.
"Tsk tsk, stealing baby formula, I knew it was something you would do." Thor made a suspicious "pfft" sound from the side. Gwen had already silently taken out her phone and started recording, while Captain America—poor Captain America—was still lying on the ground, but he had already managed to give a thumbs up to indicate that he couldn't miss this good show.
Clearly, Ian's money hasn't bought him absolute loyalty.
“You must have stolen my divine skills… Damn it, I knew Tony Stark was being so nice to me for a reason. He even stole my two most core abilities from you!” Ian frantically “torn” Morgan off his body and held her out of his arm as if she were some dangerous object.
He coughed twice tactically, then suddenly pulled a plush toy from his pocket—a dirty Batman doll—and waved it in front of Morgan.
"Sweetie, see that over there? Go pick it up." Ian spoke in a coaxing tone, tossing the bootleg toy a short distance away. An eerie silence fell. Thor covered his face, Gwen's recording hand trembled, and Captain America's backside ached from trying so hard to hold back his laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Morgan Stark, of course, did not take any action, but the zombies that had been struck by the [Reverse Evolution Ray] and rejuvenated crawled toward the doll, howling loudly.
It's clear that their latent childlike instincts have been triggered.
“Uncle Ian, you’re still as unlikable as ever!” Morgan Stark’s cheerful laughter echoed through the ruins, as if she were already used to Ian’s behavior.
He was at least more composed than the surrounding New Justice League reservists. Seeing the young zombie approach the doll, Morgan Stark used his gun grappling hook to pull it back.
"I remember when you were a kid, you gave me a Batman with 108 abs. My dad said Batman doesn't look like that, but you insisted that your Batman was the real Batman." Surprisingly, Morgan Stark actually knew Batman. She cleaned the toy with cleaning equipment while showing a look of reminiscence.
"Unlikable?"
Ian's focus wasn't on Batman; he overheard Morgan Stark's comments about him, immediately flew into a rage, snatched the doll back, and stuffed it back into his four-dimensional crotch.
"Everyone loves me! I have millions of followers! I have my own cult! I—no, I don't run my own technical school, so where did you steal Ian's secret techniques from!"
"【Interpersonal Connections】is a supreme technique. It is clearly an ultimate divine power that only SSSVVVIP level students have the opportunity to spend money to collect 18,000 fragments through a lottery!"
"The way you hugged me just now was clearly a prelude to the activation of [Interpersonal Connections - Beginner - Family Link]! I didn't even teach Thor this skill! How could a little girl like you, whom I've never met, possibly know about it?!" Ian's expression kept changing as he looked at Morgan Stark with eyes full of confusion.
He was indeed completely bewildered by the other person's friendly gestures. If his super brain remembered correctly, this was the first time he and the other person had met.
At that moment, Ian sensed something strange and suspicious, and began to imagine conspiracies, tricks, and whether there was some deeper information hidden behind Morgan Stark's attitude.
"Wait a minute, you're not in your horny phase yet, so why are you pretending not to know me?" Morgan Stark's expression was even stranger than Ian's upon hearing this.
"I don't even know you!"
Ian took a step back and asked warily, "Your dad didn't arrange a child marriage for me when I was little, did he?! I was only fourteen! You look like you're eighteen thousand years old!"
He began to test the waters.
It was as if he wanted to use this seemingly absurd question to verify a certain guess in his heart.
"..."
Morgan's expression changed from surprise to speechlessness.
“Uncle Ian, your logic chain is even more chaotic than Saturday’s code.” As if she had thought of something, she suddenly became suspicious and began to sniff Ian’s body.
"Did you steal and eat those radioactive fish from the sewers again?" Morgan's expression changed from confusion to shock, as if he had thought of something.
"I didn't. Batman ate all the radioactive fish in Gotham's sewers. I didn't get a single one." Ian instinctively retorted before realizing he had switched channels.
“Uncle Ian, I’m not a child anymore. I know that Santa Claus and Batman are fictional!” Morgan Stark responded to Ian with a sneer.
The conversation between the two was observed by several members of the new Justice League. Apart from Gwen Stacy, who seemed to be deep in thought, Captain America and Thor were completely baffled.
They huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, as if discussing why the evil god could find acquaintances everywhere. Just as Ian was about to argue with Morgan Stark about the authenticity of Santa Claus, a deafening roar interrupted his thoughts; a ferocious roar ripped through the silence of the ruins!
Everyone turned around abruptly.
From the thick smoke in the distance, several twisted figures slowly emerged. A zombie, clad in tattered star-spangled armor, with half its face rotting and its shield covered in rust, roared as it advanced.
He is the zombie Captain America.
Behind the zombie Captain America are a zombie Iron Man with a protruding spine and a mechanical arm, and a zombie Spider-Man covered in black symbiotes, dripping venom from his mouth. Even more terrifying is the zombie Hulk, whose rotting skin is a nauseating purplish-green, leaving a trail of corrosive slime on the ground with every step.
"Damn it."
Gwen's voice was strained, her nerves on edge.
Where did they come from?
She is an individual with memories from before the universe rebooted, so she has some understanding of the zombie universe. Now, she is greatly shocked to see the zombie Avengers appear.
Thor had already raised Mjolnir.
"Who cares where they come from, just take them down first! What disgusting imitations! The one with the hammer isn't me!" He seemed to have rediscovered some of his former reckless nature.
Above the ruins, the wind and sand swirl up fragments of the remains, a whisper of the apocalypse.
"Ouch~~"
The outline of the zombie avengers became clearer in the thick smoke, their rotting bodies exuding an aura of death, and their empty eye sockets burning with eerie green soul flames.
Especially the Hulk zombie, which is enormous; every step it takes causes the earth to tremble.
"No! Why am I in there too! I'm just a World War II veteran!" Captain America looked at his zombie version of himself and felt a chill run down his spine, filled with inexplicable fear.
Fortunately, these zombie heroes do not possess the zombie intelligence they should have.
They are approaching.
However, the speed is not very fast.
“I don’t know either.” Morgan Stark stood beside the wreckage of the fighter jet, his brow furrowed, his fingers rapidly sliding across the holographic projection on his wrist, bringing up a series of data streams.
"No... This can't be... I've never seen them here before! Dad's trial grounds should only have ordinary zombies, how could Avenger zombies suddenly appear?"
she muttered.
There was a hint of panic in his voice.
"Perhaps our arrival triggered some kind of abnormal reaction? Or perhaps Tony Stark didn't clean up these erroneous messages when he eliminated this universe?"
Ian stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“Anyway, this is a great opportunity to prove myself!” Morgan Stark took a few deep breaths, her eyes gradually hardening, and she raised her wrist to tap on her necklace.
next moment.
The nanotech armor quickly covered his entire body, the red and gold steel suit gleaming with a cold luster in the setting sun—clearly a modified version of Tony Stark's classic style.
However, the lines are smoother, and the joints shimmer with light blue energy patterns.
"Look at me!"
Morgan Stark was about to make his move.
However, Ian reached out and stopped her.
"Let me handle it."
Ian's eyes were incredibly deep, making him seem like an extremely reliable person. However, his sudden grin and excited tone somewhat ruined the image he had created.
"I've wanted to try this for a long time—to punch Thor and kick Captain America!" Ian is a well-mannered person, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the people around him.
Encountering a zombie version of a superhero is something Ian would love to do, so instead of using the [Reverse Evolution Ray], he rushed out directly.
Hey! We're still here!
"What is it about us that you don't like this time?"
Captain America and Thor protested in dissatisfaction, while only Spider-Gwen was relieved. At that moment, Ian had already charged out, his first step shattering the ground with a deafening roar!
Because Ian instantly killed the ugliest zombie Spider-Man, Zombie Iron Man was enraged and launched the first attack. His palm cannon glowed with a ghostly green light, and a corrosive energy beam shot straight at him! Ian neither dodged nor avoided the energy beam as it hit him.
