The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 163 Inference
With Yang Le and Franklin's frantic efforts, Valeria's dangerous idea was finally stopped.

Yang Le wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a long breath, and slumped down on the bed.

"It seems you know it too."

Valeria buttoned her shirt, lowered her head and remained silent. It seemed that she knew what Yang Le meant.

"Know what?" Franklin asked curiously. He looked at the two of them, wondering what secret there was between them.

"I know you can't convince me with words." Yang Le said unhappily.

"Admit it, two little geniuses. You know what you said is a fantasy, and you don't even believe it yourself. Otherwise, Xiaowa, you wouldn't be trying to convince me with your body."

Franklin's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't know how to open his mouth. After struggling for a long time, his hunched shoulders finally collapsed.

"I know."

Valeria's voice came, her voice trembling, she lowered her head, hiding her face in her loose hair.

Her shoulders were shaking and her body was trembling slightly. Anyone could see that she was crying.

"I've always known this, but there's no way I can survive if I don't do this!"

Valeria raised her head, and big tears flowed from her eyes, rolled down her cheeks, and gradually formed a line.

The blue eyes, set against the backdrop of tears, were like a lake, making Yang Le hallucinate about a certain Miss Spider.

Patting his forehead to clear his mind of thoughts, Yang Le bent down, clasped his hands together, and stared at the crying girl with an expressionless face.

"I had placed all my hopes on Franklin, but he told me he had lost his ability. Although I felt a little resentful, I wasn't defeated because I'm Mr. Fantastic's child. I was determined to research the antidote on my own, just like my parents had always done. I wanted to save everyone on my own."

Valeria raised her hands to cover her cheeks. She seemed to have lost her strength. She slowly took a few steps back and finally leaned against the wall to support her body.

Franklin tried to move forward several times, but for some reason, he could not take a single step.

"But the more I researched, the more I realized this was impossible! They were already dead! There was no life at all. Their hearts weren't beating, their brains weren't active, and the blood in their veins had already froze!"

"But what can I do?" Valeria slowly slid down and finally sat on the ground, grabbing her head in pain.

"I've been living on the belief that I can save them. Without that, I'd go crazy."

"Xiao Wa..." Franklin murmured softly. He knew that he should go forward to comfort his sister at this time, but he couldn't do it because tears had already flowed from his eyes.

Even though they possess incredible intelligence, they are, after all, just two children. At an age when they should still be having fun, they have done a great job by not collapsing after experiencing such a terrible thing.

"Valeria, Franklin."

Yang Le, who had been silent until now, suddenly called out the names of the Magic Twins.

Even though the twins were crying, they had to look up, because Yang Le was their hope at the moment, and all their hopes were on Yang Le. Although they didn't say it, it was estimated that if Yang Le rejected them, the two children might really collapse.

"You still don't see the essence of the matter." Yang Le said slowly.

"Sniff~" Seeing that Yang Le didn't directly reject them, Valeria knew that there was still hope. She sniffed quickly and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"

"Your thinking is fixed. This must be the influence of Peter and the others on you. Do you think the main cause of this crisis is really just a small virus?"

Valeria and Franklin looked at each other without saying anything, waiting for Yang Le's explanation.

"These guys clearly have a clear purpose. They're a hive consciousness, and they have a unified name. Do you remember what they call themselves?"

"I have heard it," said Valeria.

"They call themselves the Endless Hungerers."

"Yes, it sounds quite impressive. They have a very clear goal, which is to find and infect extraordinary people. They are not just bastards who only know how to eat. That's very clear."

"You mean they're not viruses?" Franklin said in disbelief.

"Obviously, ordinary viruses can't do this. They should occupy the high ground of wisdom and then eat as much as they can." After being reminded by Yang Le, Valeria immediately connected the information she knew.

"Superhumans infect superhumans. Ordinary people are only fit to be eaten. They are accumulating strength, but why? The entire universe has been eaten by them."

Valeria muttered to herself, looked up at Yang Le, and suddenly her eyes shook, as if she understood everything.

"They are sending signals to other universes. Do they want to occupy other universes?!"

"It seems you have thought of it too."

Yang Le snapped his fingers. This was what he thought of after analyzing Vulkan's words. After seeing him, Vulkan said that he wanted to infect him as well, plus what Storm and the others said at the beginning.

With all these connections, Yang Le, who had read many comics, quickly guessed their purpose. Valeria and the others were just not paying attention to this and were busy researching the antidote, otherwise they would have thought of it long ago.

"That means there is someone controlling this matter!" Valeria suddenly became excited, and with her red eyes and pink cheeks from just crying, she looked very cute.

"As long as we find the controller, maybe we can save everyone." Franklin also became excited.

Looking at the two excited children, Yang Le couldn't bear to pour cold water on them. Although he wanted to advise them to prepare for the worst, it was better not to discourage them at this time.

"Then will you help us?" Franklin looked at Yang Le hopefully.

The topic returned to the starting point. No matter how excited Franklin and Valeria were, it would be useless if Yang Le didn't help them.

"Why not?" Yang Le shrugged.

"But you weren't going to help us just now?" Franklin looked at Yang Le in confusion, not understanding why Yang Le suddenly agreed.

Valeria secretly hit her brother. Why are you asking so many questions when he has already helped? What if he changes his mind?
"Because what you said at the beginning is futile. Capturing the Fantastic Four will not solve this crisis. I definitely cannot agree to it." Yang Le explained.

"But it's different now. You've found the point. I don't want you two running off to find your mother while I'm solving the problem."
