American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

"All the captured zombies are being kept in a P5-level virus isolation laboratory. There's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

Chapter 247 The Space Carrier Crisis Erupts

Hearing Black Marinated Egg's confident assurance, everyone finally felt relieved.

But then, a sneer rang out in the quiet conference room.

The Avengers and X-Men members turned to look at Harvey, their unfamiliar ally, with rather strange expressions, as if asking what was so funny.

Harvey chuckled twice, and anyone could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

"Are you sure the zombie virus won't leak? Why am I hearing gunshots and screams coming from the bottom of the space carrier?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

While the veracity of Harvey's words is uncertain, a zombie virus leak is no small matter.

I always prefer to believe in the possibility of something being true rather than to believe it isn't.

Steve turned to Nick Fury: "Director Nick, could you check if there's anything wrong with the Helicarrier?"

Black Egg's suspicious and arrogant nature kicked in; there was absolutely no way the zombie virus could cause a problem, otherwise it would be a slap in his face.

Instead of investigating, he believed that Harvey was deliberately fabricating lies.

"Don't panic. Every corner of the space carrier is under my control. There's no way anything can go wrong."

"On the contrary, what exactly are you trying to achieve by fabricating these seemingly plausible lies, sir from a parallel universe?"

Harvey's smile faded. He hadn't expected that the black-haired egg wouldn't believe him at all and would even doubt him.

They say it's hard to reason with a damned person; I should have just respected their fate and stopped trying to persuade them.

He held the violin with a blank expression, then got up without a word to leave.

"Since you think I have ulterior motives, then I have no choice but to leave with the zither. You can stay here and wait to die."

After saying that, Harvey and Jean teleported to a point two thousand meters directly above the space carrier.

Qin asked, still somewhat doubtful, "Is there really a problem with the space carrier?"

Harvey was speechless. "It's one thing if they don't believe me, but why don't they believe me, you stupid woman? Do I need to lie to them?"

Upon hearing this, Qin angrily pinched someone's waist.

"Who told you, you big liar, to never tell the truth?"

"You promised to love only me, but you secretly went out to meet your lover."

"And there are four of them!"

"If I hadn't discovered it by accident, you probably would have kept it from me your whole life, right?"

Harvey chuckled awkwardly, his face showing embarrassment.

Hermione and her three friends need to be fed occasionally, otherwise who knows if these independent women, feeling lonely for too long, might cheat on you?

Although he believed that Hermione and the other three women would not betray him, there was no need to test them.

Closer to home.

Suddenly, an explosion rang out from the space carrier below, and Harvey took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Look at the space carrier below, it's definitely malfunctioning. I told you the zombie virus had leaked."

Qin was startled and, forgetting her jealousy, quickly looked away.

Two of the four super-large turbofan jet units on the space carrier had stopped working, causing the entire carrier to tilt to one side due to insufficient power, and it slowly descended.

Furthermore, as the explosions followed, the other two vortex jet devices also clearly malfunctioned.

Quinjet fighters and attack helicopters took off from the mothership's deck.

Ground crew and elite agents were running around the deck like headless flies.

Harvey chuckled, as if watching a show, "Looks like the space carrier's reactor is malfunctioning."

"Those who don't heed the advice of the elders will suffer the consequences. This time, even Iron Man can't power up the turbofan engine to start the mothership's engines."

Jean looked at Harvey with a worried expression and said, "We have to help, otherwise the zombie virus will spread and the professor and the others will not be able to escape either."

Harvey had been using telepathy to monitor the situation inside the Helicarrier. Upon hearing Jean's request, he shrugged and said helplessly, "Sorry, it's too late."

"The zombie Ant-Man secretly infiltrated the space carrier, triggering this zombie crisis."

"Currently, Steve, Coulson, Dr. Banner, and Beast are all infected."

“Tony Stark is retreating with the uninfected Avengers and X-Men, and even if we help, we can’t stop it.”

Qin's mood turned extremely bad; she had thought she could save the world in time.

Who would have thought that I was overthinking things?

When she saw Tony, dressed in his suit, carrying two people, flying out of the Helicarrier, she realized it was too late to intervene.

"Darling, you must have a way to save the world, right?"

Harvey shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I am not a god. The zombie virus is rooted deep in the souls of the infected."

"Common methods such as vaccines or gene therapy have no effect on suppressing this virus."

"However, I can take action and unleash a wide-range fire spell to burn down the entire infected area."

"But doing so will inevitably harm innocent people. It all depends on whether you can bring yourself to do it."

Harvey meant to unleash indiscriminate fire magic, plundering half of America.

Aside from the high casualties, this was the most suitable method he could think of.

Once all infected individuals die, the zombie virus can no longer be transmitted through blood from person to person.

As long as water pollution is avoided, the spread of the virus can at least be controlled.

Of course, this method can only work temporarily.

Sooner or later, animals or birds will drink water that has been infected with the zombie virus, and the zombie virus will spread again.

However, with careful monitoring, such as satellite surveillance, it is always possible to control this source of infection in animals.

However, Jean strongly resisted this radical approach of sacrificing half of America to save the world.

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

"The lives of innocent people are precious; how can they be sacrificed so casually?"

Harvey couldn't help but laugh at Qin's childish words.

"In another half hour, the infected birds will fly out of the United States, and the spread of the virus will be out of control."

"At that time, it will be impossible to sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority."

"Are you sure you want to waste your time thinking of some perfect solution?"

Upon hearing this, Qin fell into deep thought, before she could make a choice.

Harvey added, "We two, being passersby in parallel universes, are not necessarily qualified to make such a momentous choice that concerns the lives of tens of millions of people."

“I’m also worried that if I step in to stop the spread of the virus, the Avengers and the X-Men will hold a grudge against me. It’s foreseeable that many people will seek revenge after the zombie crisis subsides.”

"Then why should I do something so thankless and exhausting?"

With Qin's emotional intelligence, she could understand these social niceties, and for a moment she was speechless, her mind in turmoil.

The future of the zombie universe is destined for destruction.

As the zombie virus spreads, all sorts of horrific and bloody scenes will unfold.

Qin's kindness meant she couldn't help but lend a helping hand.

But the zombie virus is so overpowered that it can even infect intelligent life forms like Thanos or Ultron.

To be on the safe side, Harvey plans to take the piano and leave this universe.

Chapter 248 Arrival in the New World

While Qin was distracted, she pondered how to save the world.

Harvey wrapped his arms around her slender waist, used his energy to shrink himself, and entered the quantum tunnel.

Inside the brightly lit tunnel, Qin suddenly realized that she hadn't even figured out how to save the world yet, and now she had been kidnapped.

"Wait, Harvey, let me go! I need to go back and figure out how to help Professor Charles and the others!"

Harvey held the piano tightly, trying to calm her down: "Don't move around, or we'll get lost in the quantum realm and never be able to get out."

"While I wouldn't mind living in the quantum realm, you might never be able to go back to the world you're familiar with."

Upon hearing this, Qin calmed down and stopped struggling.

She punched Harvey's shoulder in frustration. "It's all your fault. Why did you take me away? I don't believe the zombie virus is incurable."

"Once I come up with a solution, those infected people might be able to recover. Are you scared?"

Harvey nodded matter-of-factly, replying as he guided the two through the bizarre and fantastical quantum realm:

"Of course I'm scared. You're just ignorant and fearless. You haven't experienced the horror of the zombie virus, so you have the misconception that there's a way to cure it."

"But in reality, the zombie virus even has a glorious record of destroying the entire universe. With my weak arms and legs, how could I dare to stay any longer?"

Jean was speechless at Harvey's bluntness.

"Didn't you always boast that you could suppress all enemies in the multiverse? How come you're afraid of even a zombie virus now?"

"Are you still not a man?"

Harvey was no longer the simple-minded, hot-blooded young man he was a decade or so ago. Hearing these words that were deliberately meant to provoke him, his expression remained completely unchanged.

He glanced at Qin with a half-smile, "Little Phoenix, it seems you've forgotten when you were knocked unconscious by Bian Da?"

Qin Qiao's face stiffened. That was the most embarrassing thing she had ever done in her life, and the most shameful experience she didn't want to recall.

I still remember that night, she provoked someone and was knocked unconscious five times, almost ruined.

Finally, the stubborn Qin, refusing to admit defeat, silently snorted and turned her head away, no longer wanting to look at this big liar.
