Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Tony Stark's multiple studies have shown that normal people should not eat the flesh of monsters in the Corruption Zone at all. The corrosive elements and chaotic energy contained there are pollutants that would kill an ordinary person with just one bite.

Aunt Manna looked like an ordinary person, and there were no signs of corruption on her body.

Peter was certain of this because his Spider Suit had a built-in highly sensitive erosion energy detection and alarm system. If Aunt Manna had any abnormalities, even the slightest, the suit would have sounded an alarm long ago. That's why Peter didn't believe Lin Yi's words.

"I have no reason to lie to you." Lin Yi saw Peter's distrust and said casually, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself at dinner."

"Or, you could check your Aunt Manna's refrigerator; I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised."

There were quite a few pieces of raw meat in the refrigerator; Peter's Aunt Manna couldn't possibly finish them all in one meal.

Peter remained silent for a while, then stood up from the ground: "I still don't believe it. I'll go see for myself."

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin Yi, I need to go prepare for my afternoon class." Peter's voice was somewhat low, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he should do as he pleased.

He'd already laid the bait; given Peter's personality, he'd definitely find a way to verify the truth of what he said. Peter knew the probability was small, but if it really happened, it wouldn't be good news for people in normal areas.

Peter left the rooftop with a heavy heart, leaving Lin Yi alone, who smiled silently.

The shield on his chest curled his lip: "Little Spider is almost completely fooled by you."

Lin Yi shook his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Did I lie?"

The shield choked, then quickly changed the subject: "I'm a little curious, why didn't you just take a couple of photos and present the evidence to Peter? Also, why didn't you go directly to Tony? Doesn't he have more authority?"

Lin Yi chuckled: "Where do you get so much curiosity every day? You don't understand, do you? In Tony's eyes, I'm a cosmic 'unregistered person' right now. Let Spider-Man investigate himself; it's more believable to them. Of course, that's not the key point. The main thing is that letting Spider-Man do it saves me trouble."

What does it mean that Aunt Manna ate the monsters from the Corruption Zone? It means that Aunt Manna has likely been corrupted. Her body would gradually weaken and decay if she moved around in the normal area, and eating monsters from the Corruption Zone would help stabilize her condition, which makes sense.

Then another question arises: why would someone who has been corrupted stay in the ordinary district? Is it because they can't bear to part with their past lifestyle? Lin Yi doesn't think so. He's more inclined to another guess: that Aunt Manna has ulterior motives.

Moreover, she might not be an isolated case; there should be many more "like" Aunt Manna. Were these people originally living in the ordinary districts who were secretly corrupted, or did they infiltrate from the corrupted districts to plot something? Let them investigate.

Spider-Man will definitely need to share whatever he discovers with Tony Stark, and that presents Tony with a problem. The initial source of the information, Lin Yi, will also gradually come into their view in a relatively gradual manner.

Of course, it's possible that Tony had already discovered something unusual.

Moreover, there was one thing Lin Yi hadn't expected: his actions didn't first attract Tony's attention, but rather someone else.

"Oh dear, we have a guest," Shield warned. In his perception system, a high-speed object was flying towards them from afar.

Lin Yi saw it too, of course. Through the gaps in the clouds, a suit of steel, clearly in the shape of a woman, was swooping down towards him with a clear purpose, its tail trailing flames.

The design language of the suit is, of course, Tony Stark's consistent style, but there are some differences. Some details and lines are softer, seemingly incorporating the aesthetics of others, losing some of the sense of power, and gaining a touch more elegance.

The female Iron Man suit, her target was clearly him; Lin Yi felt it couldn't be Pepper—the probability was too low. So…

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lin Yi used his superhuman strength to see through the visor and make out the face of a young woman. She had fair skin, a high nose bridge, and dark brown hair that was tightly bound by her helmet.

Is that... Morgan after he grew up?

As I pondered, the faint roar of the thrusters came into my ears, and the Iron Man suit swiftly swooped down from the sky and landed on the roof of the teaching building.

bass!

The mask was removed, confirming it was Morgan, who looked to be around twenty years old. Her features still vaguely resembled those of her childhood self, but she had completely shed her childishness.

"What did you say to Peter?" Morgan's voice, now grown up, was slightly cold and filled with a strong sense of wariness.

Not cute at all. Lin Yi thought to herself, she's lost all the soft, cuddly cuteness she had as a child.

"Just making friends with Peter, what's wrong with that?" Lin Yi waved his hand, looking completely innocent, as if asking if there was a problem.

Morgan never put away his battle suit, squinting as he looked Lin Yi up and down.

"Without any identification information, you suddenly appeared in Earth's geosynchronous orbit yesterday. Who exactly are you?"

"Or rather, what planet's race are you from? I don't recall any alien race whose physical features match human characteristics so perfectly. Or perhaps, what kind of disguise skills do you possess?"

"I advise you to tell the truth, because it concerns you and your future situation!"

Morgan activated all the fire control systems on his suit, aiming at Lin Yi, his words laced with threat.

"Tsk..." Lin Yi clicked his tongue in disdain, then put on a sad expression and sighed exaggeratedly.

"Sigh... I never thought the Morgan of the past would become so unlovable. How could you talk to me like that? And you're pointing such a terrifying weapon at me."

As he spoke, Lin Yi stretched out his arm and made a soothing gesture as if he were gently rocking a child: "You know, I used to hold you when you were little!"

Morgan: "...?"

An unnamed anger welled up inside Morgan, and his face flushed slightly.

Is this jerk on the other end flirting with me? (He's not the female lead; I was actually thinking of writing a story without a female lead.)

"Stop talking nonsense! Who are you?!" Morgan raised his voice, stepped forward, raised his arm, and a cannon in his palm shone with a dazzling white light.

Clearly, Lin Yi's words had angered him.

"Hey, don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm a real human from Earth, can't you tell?" Lin Yi knew when to stop.

"And I wasn't talking nonsense. Look, isn't this you when you were little?" Lin Yi took out his phone and pulled up a photo.

The photo shows a little girl, about three or four years old, wearing a tutu, her face and hands covered in cream, crying loudly at a cake that has been smashed to pieces on the ground, snot bubbles coming out of her nose. Lin Yi is squatting behind her, making a silly peace sign at the camera.
