Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"My parents should still be alive, right?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

"Huh?" The shield tilted its head back, its humanoid form displaying an incredulous expression. "What kind of bullshit question is that? With your parents' abilities, age doesn't even apply. They could survive a universe explosion, of course they're alive!"

"Where are they now?"

"have no idea……"

"Can you get in touch with them?"

"...Not for the time being."

Why?

"Um, the reason is complicated, but there's something else I find strange. Why didn't you take me with you when you went to the Marvel Universe? I've grown into a brand name tag! To be honest, what your parents left you was clearly something to wear to prove your identity! There was even a necklace, you were practically wearing it on your body and writing it on your hand, and you just threw me in this little box, huh?"

Lin Yi didn't want to talk anymore. He lay down on the bed with a thud, raised his arm to cover his eyes, and let out a long, deep breath.

Damn it, what is all this?!

He couldn't find the right words to describe his current feelings: confusion, shock, absurdity, a touch of resentment at being abandoned, and the shock of the truth about his origins. These emotions were all mixed together, like a tangled mess stuck in his chest.

I have no idea where to even begin to sort this out!

This is difficult, too complicated! He can't do this problem, he really can't!

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly start sleeping?" The shield, which Lin Yi had casually tossed onto the bed, came running over with its short legs and poked Lin Yi's arm with its cold forelimbs.

Lin Yi didn't move, a muffled voice coming from under his arm: "I don't understand... why did my parents... leave me here alone when I was so young? Where did they go? What did they do?"

The shield clicked its tongue, followed by a clicking sound: "That's a good question. I actually know a little bit, not everything, but at least what I can tell you right now. Wait a minute!"

He turned to face the blank wall, his eyes lighting up again: "I have a video message left by your father here. I haven't seen it myself. Your father told me to show it to you when I'm awakened!"

"Although you've awakened a few years late, it doesn't matter."

"Come on, watch the video!"

The shield's eyes projected light, forming a clear curtain of light on the wall.

The screen went completely dark at first, then lit up, displaying the stored video.

Lin Yiteng sat up in bed, staring intently at the screen.

The image shows a villa living room that looks very warm and comfortable, decorated in warm colors, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a lush garden and distant mountain views.

Soon, a figure walked into the frame.

She was tall and slender, dressed in simple loungewear, but... what's with that long blonde hair and those bright blue eyes?

Lin Yi stared in disbelief at the shield, then looked down at it incredulously: "This...is this my father?"

The shield was almost stunned by this question.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What nonsense are you spouting! This is clearly a woman, this is clearly your mother! Your mother!"

Um... Lin Yi also thought it was a stupid question. He admitted that what the shield had said earlier had a huge impact on him, and his logic had not yet returned to normal.

But... Lin Yi was even more bewildered after realizing what had happened: "My dad found me a blonde, blue-eyed mom?"

"No! I don't look mixed race at all! Is this really my mother?"

He looked down at his hands, then touched his face. Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin—there was no trace of mixed race! How did this gene inheritance happen?

"Tsk! There are deeper secrets involved here. Don't be fooled by your mother's blonde hair and blue eyes. If you really look into it, she is actually an Asian. It's just that her hair and eye color have changed because of the special manifestation of her own abilities."

"Your dad originally thought your mom was a foreigner, but he discovered during his journey to find out that she was a descendant of an ancient Eastern being from another universe. Never mind... let's watch the video first."

Lin Yi looked at him suspiciously, half believing and half doubting.

On the screen, Lin Yi's mother walked to the sofa, sat down, and waved towards the camera, "Lin, come here quickly, the recording has started, don't dawdle!"

Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in casual clothes walked quickly toward the camera.

The moment Lin Yi saw the man's face, she held her breath for a second.

This face is at least 80 or 90% similar to mine!

They had the same short black hair, slightly angular face, high nose bridge, and especially the shape of their eyes—they were almost identical.

However, compared to Lin Yi, the man in the picture has a more mature and composed demeanor, with a gentle and slightly apologetic smile on his lips.

Lin Yi's father, Lin Feng, sat down next to Lin Yi's mother, put his arm around her shoulder, and cleared his throat facing the camera.

"Xiao Yi? Hmm... When you see this video, you should be 12 years old, right? Your abilities should have already begun to awaken and manifest. Of course, it might be a little later due to some unpredictable variables, but that's not important. I don't know if you've learned to fly yet. Let me tell you, the first time your father flew..."

*Slap!* A light pat on Lin Feng's shoulder: "Let's get down to business! Xiao Yi must be full of questions right now!"

"Ahem, alright, alright..." Lin Feng smiled, then became more serious.

"First of all, Mom and Dad want to say... we're sorry we couldn't be by your side to watch you grow up, teach you to walk, talk, read, and learn about the world..."

"Leaving you here alone was an extremely difficult decision, but it was a decision we had no other choice."

Lin Yi's mother sat up straight, facing the camera with gentle yet apologetic eyes, her voice soft but firm: "Yes, baby. We love you, we love you so much. Keeping you isn't abandoning you, but protecting you, and also... so we can have a chance to solve some problems that need to be solved."

Lin Feng continued, "That's right! Your dad conquered the entire Marvel Universe back then! I could have retired peacefully. But something happened, and the Marvel Universe's timeline kept rebooting and splitting, at a speed far exceeding the limits of what we could handle."

"I once brought Marvel Universe technology into the real universe. After a long period of development, the technology of our Earth universe has surpassed most parts of the Marvel Universe. But this has also caused some problems, and some malicious entities have emerged. I don't know if they are connected to the anomalies in the Marvel Universe. They are very well hidden, and may not even be hiding in some world bubble or some dimension. We must find them. For safety reasons, I sent you to a very distant, real parallel universe, Earth, and deeply concealed your coordinates."

"Of course, no matter which real universe our planet is in, it's our home! Don't worry too much! Your dad conquered the entire Marvel Universe back then, and he can beat them to a pulp now!"

As they talked, Lin Feng's true nature came out; he couldn't maintain a serious demeanor at all. Lin Yi probably knew who he took after in terms of personality.
