American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

After leaving the science museum, Lynn Hall did not take Gwen home immediately.

Instead, they took her for some medical checkups first.

After all, Lynn couldn't be 100% certain that the spider that bit Gwen was the same one that made Peter Parker Spider-Man.

After conducting a thorough check-up and confirming that Gwen was alright, Lynn finally felt relieved.

The data and blood samples from the tests will be completely destroyed to prevent the blood samples from being leaked if Gwen becomes Spider-Woman.

Lynn then drove Gwen home.

When they returned home to Queens, Uncle George was still working at the police station.

Aunt Helen told me that Uncle George is currently investigating a group of drug dealers from Mexico, so he's working even on weekends.

Gwen, however, felt very tired after returning home, so she went straight to her room to rest.

While Lynn was chatting with Aunt Helen, her phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a call from the head of the Secret Service, Rich Hood.

Since he decided to retire next year and take on a sinecure, he has rarely been involved in cases!

Many cases passed through Lynn Hall's hands, and then either Lynn led the investigation or handed them over to other assistant agents.

So when Lynn saw Richie's call, she went back to her room to answer it out of curiosity.

"Lynn, there's a mission that requires you to lead a team personally. A major upheaval has occurred in a small town under Oswig's rule. According to intelligence, all 1,300 residents of this town have been turned into zombies overnight."

"The specific reason is unknown. The police in the surrounding area have sealed off the town. Meanwhile, someone has spread the story online, and it has been viewed more than a million times!"

"Miller Field originally wanted to take a team to investigate, but I think it's best if you take over this case. You know what I mean."

Hearing Richie Hood say this, Lynn laughed and said, "Field is trying to prove himself through this case so that when you become an advisor next year, he can take the position of head of the intelligence agency!"

"Haha, so Lynn, you should definitely take over this!"

At this point, Richie Hood's tone became more serious: "That's what the chief meant too. Miller is capable, but he's too meticulous."

"Tsk, over 1,300 lives! If not handled properly, it could cause a huge mess!"

"clear!"

Understanding the underlying meaning in Richie Hood's words, Lynn Hall laughed and said, "I'll take my men over right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lynn Hall immediately sent messages to Sean Alice and the others.

Ricky Hood's meaning is very clear: more than 1,300 people have become "walking corpses" overnight.

Furthermore, with the incident spreading online and garnering millions of views, it's impossible to keep it a secret.

Therefore, I must investigate and find out the "truth" that the public wants to know before things escalate completely.

As for what the real "truth" is, it doesn't really matter!

After informing Sean and Alice, Lynn Hall left the room.

Before leaving, I checked on Gwen and found her sleeping soundly with no signs of fever or poisoning.

Lynn then drove away.

Two hours later, outside a small town called Carran, under the rule of Oswig!

The town is now completely under police lockdown, and virus, disaster, and fire departments have arrived one after another.

Looking out from the car, the town in front of us looked very strange, as if it were divided into inside and outside by police cordon lines.

Thick fog filled the area inside the cordon, and every now and then one or two figures could be seen staggering through the fog.

Outside the cordon, however, the area was clear and bright.

Even with a gentle breeze, the thick fog within the town does not drift outwards at all.

"What a strange town, boss. Have we encountered some kind of supernatural event?"

Looking at the clearly defined scenes in the town, Sean asked curiously.

"I don't know, but we'll find out when we go down and take a look!"

With that, Lynn Hall took off his gas mask and got out of the car first, then walked towards the blockade.

Seeing that the boss and Alice and the others had all taken off their gas masks, Sean followed suit and got out of the car.

As Sean walked behind Lynn, he whispered to Alice, "Alice, why did the boss take off his gas mask?"

"What if it's some kind of strange virus, and it's airborne..."

"Idiot, didn't you see that on the other side of the cordon, none of the county police, firefighters, or disaster relief personnel are wearing gas masks?"

"If it were truly an airborne virus, they would have been wiped out long ago!"

After hearing Alice's explanation, Sean nodded.

Upon arriving at the cordoned-off area, the head county police officer immediately approached and signaled Lynn and the others to stop.

After flashing his FBI badge, Lynn Hall looked at the sheriff and said, "I am Lynn Hall of the FBI. From now on, this place is under my jurisdiction!"

"Tell me in detail what happened here!"

After glancing at Lynn's identification, the sheriff said, "Mr. Hall, this town has about 1,300 permanent residents."

"Everything was normal until last night, but this morning a thick fog suddenly enveloped the town, and overnight everyone in the town lost consciousness and acted entirely on instinct."

"However, even though the people in the town are unconscious, they haven't stepped out of the town. We don't know the specific reason yet, so we can only seal off the town."

Hearing the sheriff's account, Lynn glanced at the figures constantly wandering in the thick fog of the town: "Who was the first person to discover the scene and call the police?"

"It's me, Detective!"

A tall county policeman came out and reported, "My sister's family lives in this town. We haven't been able to reach them by phone since last night."

"I was worried something had happened, so I drove here overnight. But when I got to about three kilometers from the town, I couldn't find the road into the town no matter what I did, so I just kept..."

"Wait, you mean last night you were driving, but couldn't find the way into town?"

Lynn Hall frowned as he looked at the wide road in front of him.

"Yes, sir!"

In response to Lynn's question, the county sheriff nodded and said, "I also find it strange. After driving here, the road into the town seems to have disappeared into thin air and turned into a wasteland."

"Furthermore, the car was surrounded by thick fog, with visibility less than two meters."

"Because I am very familiar with this town, I can usually drive to my sister's house even with my eyes closed. In order to prevent any accidents from happening to my sister's house, I want to force my way into the town."

"But the car suddenly lost power."

At this point, the county policeman looked at the town in front of him with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
