Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 124 Initial Contact

……

This is a meeting room, simply furnished, with only a long table and a few chairs, and not even any necessary recording equipment.

It seemed that the other party had indeed taken Lin Yi's words to heart, as the room's furnishings perfectly matched the requirements put forward by Lin Yi and the middle-aged officer.

At this moment, Lin Yi was sitting on the inner side, leaning back in his chair with his body relaxed, even crossing his legs, and his face showed a leisurely expression.

In contrast, Lin Xiao, who was sitting next to him, was extremely uncomfortable, constantly fidgeting with her legs together, looking like she was crawling with maggots.

"Would you like something to drink?" the woman sitting across the long table asked. She was probably close to thirty years old, with a gentle voice, a steady tone, and a relaxed smile on her face.

Her name is He Qiuyu. She is an experienced diplomat with exceptional mental fortitude, and she happens to be carrying out certain missions at this base.

General He had considered everything carefully. He was worried that these usually decisive and rough-around-the-edges men… well, he was referring to middle-aged officers. He feared they might speak too directly or offend this "guest" with his incredible abilities through inappropriate wording. So he immediately involved He Qiuyu and instructed the middle-aged officers not to speak with Lin Yi before his arrival, leaving the conversation to He Qiuyu.

He Qiuyu's professionalism and communication skills were well-suited for this sensitive initial contact. She shared the same surname as General He, but they were not related.

"Hmm..." Lin Yi stroked his chin, "Oriental big leaf, right? Do you have one?"

"Okay." He Qiuyu nodded with a smile, then turned her gaze to Lin Xiao, who was sitting restlessly beside her: "Miss Lin, what would you like to drink?"

Lin Xiao was still performing the maggot-picking act, completely unaware of the current situation.

Lin Yi couldn't stand it anymore and nudged her with his elbow: "I'm asking you, what do you want to drink?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao shuddered and snapped back to reality. Looking at He Qiuyu across from her, she forced a smile and said, "I... I'll just drink some water..."

"Okay, please wait a moment..." He Qiuyu stood up and went out. In less than two minutes, she returned with two bottles of bottled water and a bottle of Oriental Big Leaf that Lin Yi had requested.

Lin Xiao tremblingly took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a small sip. Inside, she felt like crying but had no tears.

She couldn't understand why she had to be brought here for "tea" too! She was just an ordinary tourist; couldn't they let her go home first?

He Qiuyu had already noticed Lin Xiao's unease. "Ms. Lin, please rest assured, we just need to do some basic research and record-keeping. You can leave in a few minutes, and we will arrange a car to take you home."

"Of course, we may have more information to share with you later, so please stay connected. This is a necessary procedure, and we appreciate your understanding."

Lin Xiao has an exit record, but an entry record... well, Lin Yi Express doesn't have that. It's just that Lin Xiao was the first person to contact Lin Yi, and it's necessary to rule out and confirm that she doesn't have any problems before letting her leave.

Lin Yi glanced at Lin Xiao without saying anything, then unscrewed the leaf of the Oriental Giant Tree and took a sip.

Mmm! It tastes just like that! It's not exactly delicious, but it's so damn familiar! This stuff doesn't exist in the Marvel Universe. Home is always the best! This is something Lin Yi used to use to perk himself up—it brings back so many memories!

Time passed slowly, and Lin Yi sat there alone, enjoying his tea. After several minutes, Lin Xiao, who had been confirmed to be alright, was told that he could leave.

Lin Xiao instantly perked up and darted away like a rabbit.

Lin Yi's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a wry smile. This Lin Yi Express isn't something just anyone can ride; they didn't even say thank you before leaving?

Also, didn't she say she was going to buy me a cell phone?

He Qiuyu took in all these subtle expressions and movements. She had already sat down next to the middle-aged general and quickly jotted down a few keywords in an inconspicuous little notebook. Then, her gaze returned to Lin Yi.

"Well then, Mr. Lin, would it be convenient for you to answer a few preliminary questions now?" The irrelevant personnel had already left, and she was about to begin her work.

Lin Yi waved his hand casually: "Of course, ask away, but as for General He, whom you mentioned earlier, there are some things I won't answer until he arrives."

What he's about to discuss is far too complex, involving time travel, superpowers, multiverse catastrophes, and potential intercosmic threats. This information is best communicated directly to high-ranking officials with sufficient authority to mobilize resources and make decisions. Having too many people aware of it might actually cause unforeseen problems.

He Qiuyu's smile remained unchanged, showing no sign of dissatisfaction: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand. Let's start by confirming some basic information."

She opened a folder containing a compilation of Lin Yi's historical information, his behavior upon returning from the rendezvous, and predictions.

"We have checked and preliminarily verified your personal information. Lin Yi, place of residence... date of birth... you were identified as missing last year, and your last known location was... Please check if this information is correct?"

She read out a series of messages, and Lin Yi listened carefully, the last trace of uncertainty in his heart completely dissipating. It matched perfectly; this was him! The extremely ordinary young man before his transmigration. This made him even more at ease, and even more certain that he had truly returned, and that it wasn't some parallel universe.

Having received Lin Yi's affirmative answer, He Qiuyu closed the folder, looked directly into Lin Yi's eyes, and asked her first question: "Then, Mr. Lin, could you tell us where you went and what you experienced during the year you were reported missing? And...?"

He Qiuyu paused for a moment: "How did you acquire these abilities that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people?"

Lin Yi hummed in agreement: "I can't say where I went, and to be honest, I don't even know how I acquired these abilities."

This wasn't a lie. Although Lin Yi had some guesses, they were all baseless conjectures.

He Qiuyu's smile remained unchanged: "Okay, Mr. Lin." She scribbled a few more lines in her notebook, then continued, "So, Mr. Lin, could you please answer how you suddenly appeared on the streets of Niuyue today? Was it some kind of spatial teleportation or instantaneous movement ability?"

Lin Yi answered decisively this time: "Yes, it's similar to teleportation, but it's not my personal ability."

He Qiuyu paused in his writing, and his eyebrows twitched for a moment. The answer was very simple, but the information it revealed was not to be ignored.

If it wasn't Lin Yi's personal ability, then it means that someone else or some other force transported him to Niuyue. Is there more than one supernatural individual? Or is there some kind of device or organization capable of manipulating space?

The hand gripping the pen tightened a bit: "Can you tell me who teleported you there?" That's what she asked, but He Qiuyu felt she wouldn't get an answer.

"I can't say that either."

really!

"...Okay, so the flight you demonstrated earlier, the ability to resist G-forces from acceleration, and the ability to communicate with the pilot remotely without any equipment—are these all within your capabilities? Do you possess any other abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people?"

Lin Yi was about to answer when he suddenly turned to look at the only door in the room and asked, "Is that General He?"

"What?" He Qiuyu was stunned for a second, but quickly realized what Lin Yi was talking about.

She turned around abruptly and, together with the middle-aged general beside her, stared intently at the door.

One second, five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds passed.

"Knock, knock." A crisp knocking sound rang out.
