Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 177 Little Spider's Aunt Manna

Nothing more was said that night...

The next day at noon, Lin Yi found Peter Parker at a fairly large university.

Peter was sitting alone on the roof of a school building, eating a sandwich.

The sun was shining, and the wind on the rooftop wasn't too strong, making it a good place to spend some time alone and have a simple lunch.

Lin Yi, carrying a hamburger meal she had bought on the way, landed silently behind Peter.

"Where's your good buddy... friend? Why are you eating lunch alone?" Lin Yi stopped a few meters away from Peter and greeted him naturally.

Peter was focused on his sandwich when he was startled by the sudden noise. He turned around and saw that it was Lin Yi.

Good grief, it seems that the spider sense is completely useless when facing Lin Yi.

Peter put down his sandwich and greeted them politely, "Do you also know Ned and MJ?"

Somewhat surprised, Peter the Spider honestly explained, "Ned had something to do today, and MJ was called by the professor to participate in a very important experimental research group. Neither of them were free at noon."

"I see." Lin Yi nodded, picked up her lunch, and gestured with her chin towards the empty seat next to Peter. "Mind?"

"Oh? Oh, no problem, no problem at all. Do as you please." Peter quickly waved his hand, unconsciously sitting up a little straighter.

He didn't know why, but when facing Lin Yi, he always felt an invisible, faint sense of pressure. It was the same feeling he had when facing Tony Stark, making him feel involuntarily restrained and nervous. The other person clearly looked very young and had a casual attitude, but this feeling just wouldn't go away.

"Did Mr. Lin Yi come here specifically to see me?" Peter couldn't help but ask tentatively as Lin Yi sat down and began to unwrap the hamburger.

"Yeah, I came to confirm something with you." Lin Yi tore open the packaging, revealing the cheeseburger inside, and gestured to Peter: "Want one? I just bought it, it's still warm."

Peter glanced at his half-eaten sandwich, then at the obviously juicy and delicious cheeseburger in Lin Yi's hand. He swallowed hard, but firmly shook his head, holding up his sandwich: "Never mind, thanks. This is enough for me."

"Aunt Mei made this for me this morning. She'll be angry if I can't finish it and take it home."

Lin Yi nodded. It's normal that Aunt May is still alive, after all, Tony is still alive in this universe, and the scene where Tony snaps his fingers didn't happen here.

The two fell silent and began eating their lunches. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and Shield couldn't help but want to fidget with his mechanical hind legs.

"Do you know who that old lady you met in the alley yesterday is?" Lin Yi asked first, getting straight to the point.

Peter, who was munching on a sandwich, was taken aback when he heard this. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to bring up the old lady from yesterday again.

"Aunt Manna?" Peter swallowed his sandwich and replied, somewhat confused, "I know a little about her, but not in great detail."

"She has lived in that neighborhood for decades and is considered a long-time resident. The neighbors all say she is a nice person, but she is a little withdrawn and doesn't like to get close to people."

"Mr. Lin Yi, has something happened to her, or is there a problem?" Peter's tone revealed a hint of concern and anxiety. In her memory, Aunt Manna was a kind elder; could something have happened to her in just one night?

Lin Yi shook his head: "She's not in any serious condition, but she definitely has a problem."

"You mentioned yesterday that she seems to frequently encounter similar robberies or harassment incidents, right?" Lin Yi continued, "Under this kind of security surveillance, didn't you suspect anything?" Lin Yi looked down from the top floor and gestured to Peter.

Those robot guards are everywhere on campus; I wonder how much money Tony spent to make so many.

Peter might be a bit simple-minded, but Lin Yi's words were quite blunt; if he still didn't grasp it, that would be unreasonable. Lin Yi was clearly suspicious of something; he felt that Aunt Manna wasn't acting normally!

Peter instinctively wanted to defend Aunt Manna, thinking she was just a lonely and kind old woman. "Maybe it's just her constitution? Perhaps Aunt Manna is naturally attractive to these petty thugs, after all, she likes to walk down that alley."

Peter scratched his head and said, "Um, I think we talked about this yesterday too."

Lin Yi didn't refute, but instead casually changed the subject, her tone still calm: "Do you know what kind of people would need to eat the monsters from those eroded areas?"

"Huh?" Peter was taken aback by the sudden shift in topic, and subconsciously replied, "It should be... people who need to eat the monsters in the eroded zone..."

Lin Yi had a complicated expression on his face. Why does this child, like Shield, like to talk nonsense?

"Uh, okay..." Peter scratched his head again, realizing he had said something pointless, and quickly tried to cover it up: "Mr. Stark mentioned something to me before. He researched it and found that only those who have lived in the erosion zone for a long time, whose bodies and minds have been eroded, and superhumans, would use monster flesh as one of their food sources. The flesh of those monsters can help them replenish energy and stabilize their physique."

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up? You..." Peter's voice trailed off, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Lin Yi turned her gaze away from downstairs and calmly met Peter's eyes, which were filled with questions and tension.

After finishing the last piece of hamburger, Lin Yi slowly wiped his hands before telling Peter the answer.

"Last night, I saw your Aunt Manna eating pieces of meat from the monsters in the Corrupted Zone..."

"It was also served with a sauce that was clearly made from blood..."

"Impossible!" Peter sprang to his feet, dropping the half-eaten sandwich to the ground. Realizing what had happened, Peter quickly crouched down and started scraping the sandwich apart.

It's a pity it's inedible now. You absolutely can't tell Aunt Mei about this, or she'll be in big trouble.

Lin Yi looked at Peter and said, "Nothing is impossible. The smell and the texture of the meat slices are almost exactly the same as the monsters I've seen in the eroded area."

Peter paused in his work, instinctively looking up at Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin Yi, have you been to the erosion zone?"

Lin Yi shook his head and pointed to himself: "Remember what I told you yesterday? I have super vision. I can see the erosion zone right here..."

Peter thought Lin Yi was teasing him. Could he really see through the entire planet Blue Star to another layer of the Earth's surface? But regardless of whether it was true or not, or how outrageous it was, Peter didn't really believe what Lin Yi said about Aunt Manna eating the flesh of the monsters in the eroded zone.
