Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 154 The Determination to Keep Moving Forward

Lin Yi flew swiftly, approaching the biological transport ship with its hatch open. The attack net formed by the assault ships in front of the transport ship was also reduced to cosmic dust by that punch.

As he approached the transport ship, his bio-force field rapidly extended from Lin Yi's body, throwing the remains of the Kaglos tribe out of the ship.

Pushing the transport ship, Lin Yi placed it on the far side of the moon, a consensus reached after discussing it with Tony.

Since it's a biotechnology we've never encountered before, it's safer to conduct research outside of Earth.

Moreover, Tony's current MK97 is no longer a prototype. Many of the early, unstable technologies have now been optimized and integrated into a mature system. Wearing the MK97, Tony can conduct research in the environment on the far side of the moon.

……

At night, Tony is in a cabin by the lake.

After dinner, the two Morgans were taken by Pepper to wash up and prepare for bed. Fruit was laid out on the table. Only Lin Yi and Tony remained at the table.

Tony seemed a little distracted; he picked up the apple, took a bite, and then put it down again.

Lin Yi noticed that he hesitated to speak several times.

"Spit it out if you have something to say, why are you holding back?" Lin Yi glanced at him and rolled her eyes.

"Humans, they're so indecisive and never straightforward... Hmm? Don't look at me, that's what my mom told me!" These were the words of Shield, who looked at the fruit in front of him with a hint of melancholy. He wanted to taste it, but he didn't have that ability; he could only try to simulate it based on descriptions he found online.

Tony opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he shook his head: "Let's talk about it at the meeting tomorrow. Some of my ideas need a more formal setting."

Lin Yi looked at him for two seconds, then shook his head and didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the next morning, in the top-floor conference room of Stark Tower in New York City.

This time, the meeting was not held at the Avengers headquarters, which is under reconstruction, but was moved here.

As for the reason, Lin Yi walked into the conference room, glanced at the people present, and roughly guessed it.

Seated around the long conference table were Natasha, Clint, Banner, Rhodes, Scott, Peter, and almost all the core Avengers members they could currently contact.

But Steve was the only one missing.

This was clearly intentional; Tony must have communicated with the other members beforehand about Steve's recent situation. Therefore, although everyone is gathered together now, they all tacitly avoided mentioning Steve, who should have been the last person to be absent.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat somber and heavy at that moment.

At exactly 10:00 AM, Tony took a deep breath, sat up straight, and tapped the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, everyone's here. Let's begin." Tony's voice was deeper and more weighty than usual.

"The topic we'll be discussing at this meeting is a cosmic virus, which is far more significant and dangerous than any previous crisis facing Earth..."

"When I traveled to another universe with Lin Yi, a cosmic virus was also breaking out there, as everyone already knows."

"What I want to say is that, based on Lin Yi's experience and information obtained from the Ancient One at another time, the cosmic virus is far more complex than we imagined..."

Tony continued talking, but Lin Yi seemed uninterested and listless.

His eyes were somewhat vacant, and he absentmindedly fiddled with the shield that had transformed into a sign in his hand. To be honest, he wasn't really interested in this meeting, or the topic at hand.

The reason is simple: the issues that Tony and his team are now facing and trying to explore are far beyond their capacity to handle, both in terms of their level and the power involved.

They can have some minor squabbles on Earth, but when it comes to collisions and disasters involving multiple dimensions and the multiverse, it's none of their business.

So although Lin Yi organized the current data yesterday, the main reason was to give himself a summary of the current situation and a plan for the future. He didn't give them any explanation whatsoever.

What's the use? Even if they know and understand, they can't help or make any difference; they'll only cause more trouble.

But considering they were barely considered the same kind, and had fought side by side, Lin Yi didn't mind giving them a tougher beating.

However, before he could speak, Tony, after explaining the general situation, suddenly shifted the focus to Lin Yi.

Tony's gaze fell directly on him, his tone more formal than ever before: "Before you begin sharing those specific pieces of information that are beyond our current understanding, we have a decision we need to tell you first."

Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly. He raised his eyelids to look at Tony, and then glanced at the others around the conference table.

What's going on? What decisions did these people make behind my back?

All eyes were on him, their gazes filled with solemnity and an indescribable determination.

Lin Yi sat up straight, suddenly remembering Tony's hesitant words from last night.

Tony glanced around at his companions, as if to confirm their resolve, then took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"It is neither appropriate nor reasonable for you to be alone in different timelines and different universes searching for solutions to a disaster that is spreading throughout the universe."

"This universe is our home, and this catastrophe threatens the survival of all of us. The responsibility to fight it should not, and cannot, fall solely on your shoulders."

"So, we've made our decision." Tony paused for a moment, his firm voice echoing in the conference room.

"We plan to take the initiative! We'll enter different universes, utilize the information you've already verified, to find ways to deal with this disaster, to search for potential sleepwalkers, and to more directly investigate the movements and information of those behind the scenes!"

"We can't leave you to face all of this alone!"

Lin Yi: "...?"

No, did Tony know what he was talking about? He wanted to laugh, but couldn't quite manage it.

The reason for the laughter is that the Avengers' current power is like an ant trying to move the entire universe in the face of the current disaster.

The reason they couldn't laugh was because of what Tony and the others were implying: didn't they realize that their power was extremely insignificant compared to the universe?

Ordinary people might not fully understand, but the Avengers certainly did. Yet they still made this decision.

Lin Yi looked at Tony and the rest of the Avengers, and he saw the meaning in their eyes.

It's a kind of resolute determination to keep moving forward, even at the cost of one's life.
