Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Life seemed to be moving towards a more stable tomorrow, but Peter always had a faint sense of confusion and anxiety in his heart.

This feeling hasn't been developing overnight. Ever since those monsters were driven into the Corruption Zone and Mr. Stark's robotic patrol program was fully implemented, these feelings have gradually emerged.

Peter sighed and found a familiar spot to stand on: the top of a giant water tower atop a tall building.

This place offers a wide view and is also quite secluded; it's where he usually likes to rest alone and contemplate problems.

Peter sat on the edge of the water tower, took off his hood, revealing a slightly childish face, and opened the chocolate wrapper, inside which were several individually packaged chocolate balls.

He picked one up and put it in his mouth; it was both sweet and bitter, and it felt just like his current life.

Peter always had a premonition that their current peaceful life wouldn't last long. Just like in those science fiction movies, their lives were climbing towards some unseen peak, and once they reached the top, would they suddenly collapse and fall into an even deeper abyss?

"Is it tasty?"

The sudden question interrupted Peter's wandering thoughts. Peter nodded subconsciously, replying vaguely, "Of course, buddy, this is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Peter jumped up with a whoosh. He looked at the man who had appeared beside him without him noticing, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Peter's muscles were tense, and his voice was wary. Someone who could approach him silently without alerting the spiders, and climb to the top of a water tower this height without tools, was no ordinary person.

However, it's a good thing that the spider sense didn't give any warning, as it precisely indicates that the person coming was not hostile.

Well, Peter wondered if he'd overreacted a bit. Of course, it wasn't entirely his fault; no one had ever been able to disturb him in his "secret base." Except, of course, Mr. Stark's few times.

Thinking of this, Peter curiously examined Lin Yi's appearance carefully. His suit was connected to Stark's database, and he had not seen this man in the list of superhumans.

"Lin Yi, I know you, Peter." Lin Yi showed a friendly attitude and extended his hand.

Peter was stunned for a moment, and the fact that the other person called him by name surprised him even more. Some people know Spider-Man, some people know Peter, but very few people know that Peter is Spider-Man.

This Lin Yi… even if he saw my face, he shouldn't recognize me, or know my name is Peter. After all, Peter isn't exactly a famous person. Could it be…?

"You know me? Do we know each other?" Peter extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Yi, then asked curiously.

"I know him, but I wouldn't say I know him. It's a long story." Lin Yi said mysteriously, and naturally sat down on the edge of the water tower. He looked up at the sky, as if he had come to appreciate the afternoon sky and had just happened to run into Spider-Man so he just said hello.

Peter's curiosity was piqued by Lin Yi's words; he had a vague feeling that the person in front of him was not so simple. He thought for a moment, then sat down next to Lin Yi and moved the bag of chocolates toward him: "Um... Mr. Lin Yi, would you like a piece? They taste pretty good."

Lin Yi turned to look at him, then reached out and grabbed a piece. "Thanks, then, good neighbor Spider-Man."

"Hey..." Peter scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. Lin Yi's acceptance of the chocolate showed goodwill and further eased the tension and distance between strangers meeting for the first time.

Peter picked up a chocolate and started munching on it, unable to resist striking up a conversation with Lin Yi, "Mr. Lin Yi, you're not an ordinary person, are you? I mean, you must be a superhuman, right?"

"A superhuman?" Lin Yi felt the sweet and bitter taste of the chocolate slide in his mouth and nodded slightly: "You could say that. I do have some abilities that ordinary people don't have."

"For example?" Peter asked curiously, craning his neck forward.

"For example, super vision, the kind that can see your face under the mask."

"X-ray vision?" Peter was startled and instinctively reached to cover his groin, but when he met Lin Yi's disdainful and speechless gaze, he smiled sheepishly. "I, I didn't mean that. I didn't think you were the kind of person who would look around like that. I was just... a conditioned reflex, you know..."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "Alright, stop explaining, I understand."

Peter could only manage two awkward laughs before silently munching on his chocolate.

Lin Yi's heart stirred, and he felt that it was time to begin.

From the very beginning in the alley, Lin Yi had been observing from a distance, and the "chance encounter" was all deliberately orchestrated by Lin Yi.

Peter is a simple-minded kid, a window into the world. A few words of communication and Peter's behavior confirmed Lin Yi's guess; his personality wasn't much different from the little Spider-Man in his own universe. Therefore, he became even more certain that he would use Peter as a starting point to understand this blue planet.

As for allowing the shield to infiltrate the world's network, that's already underway, but some things are more realistic when obtained from the population.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Lin Yi began to implement his plan.

Over the next few days, the two talked more and more, and their topics broadened. Lin Yi deliberately steered the conversation, discussing things like the efficiency of robots and the everyday experiences of ordinary people. In short, they talked about trivial matters, gradually easing Peter's guard.

Sure enough, Peter's talkative nature kicked in, and he got more and more excited as they chatted, going on and on about all sorts of things with Lin Yi. In the end, he even started sharing his experiences and feelings as Spider-Man, and even inadvertently revealed some confusion and worry about his current overly peaceful life.

Lin Yi listened patiently, observing Peter's reactions and assessing the basic situation of Blue Star. Gradually, he felt he could take it a step further and prepared to "inadvertently" steer the conversation toward a more core topic, such as the two Tony Starks or the situation of the other half of Blue Star.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, Peter glanced at his wristwatch and slapped his forehead: "Oh no! We've been chatting for so long without realizing it! Boss Morgan doesn't have time today, I have to pick up little Morgan from school!"

Peter gave Lin Yi an apologetic look: "Mr. Lin Yi, it was a pleasure chatting with you. I'm in a hurry, see you next time!"

After saying that, he pulled up his mask, yelled, and swung away...

"..." Lin Yi watched him disappear around the corner of the building with a dark expression.

Was this kid doing it on purpose? We were just getting to the important topic when he suddenly started acting up?

But Peter probably doesn't have such scheming intentions, right? Lin Yi thought, his super vision following Peter's figure.
