Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

...At Aunt Manna's house, the atmosphere seemed harmonious, but undercurrents were swirling, and the three of them each had their own thoughts.

"Good child, just now outside the door you said you had something to tell me, what is it?" Aunt Manna put the basket of food on the table and sat down as well.

"Um...yes, I actually wanted to ask Aunt Manna some questions..." Peter was organizing his thoughts, unsure how to begin.

Asking Aunt Manna directly might harm her. What if it's a misunderstanding? The child she treated so well actually suspects her of being a monster from the corrupted area—Aunt Manna is so old, can she bear such suspicion?

After a moment's hesitation, Peter decided to go with the method he had just come up with.

"Actually, there's no rush, Aunt Manna. You've already had dinner. Let me put this in the refrigerator for you." Peter suddenly stood up and grabbed the basket.

Squeak!

The chair was quickly pushed aside, and Asya suddenly stood up and blocked Peter's way.

She had a smile on her face, but her movements were too quick and abrupt.

"Peter, just leave it here for now. I might get hungry later and have something to eat. I'm really curious what food you brought."

"Furthermore, Aunt Manna doesn't like people touching her refrigerator."

The reasons were sound and without any loopholes. However, given Lin Yi's words, Asiya's swift actions seemed to suggest that she was trying to cover something up.

Peter was already suspicious at this point, and this swift and deliberate obstruction made him realize something even more.

Peter's mind settled down. He smiled and nudged Asya's arm, which was blocking his way. The arm was cold and hard to the touch, just like Aunt Manna's fingers.

"It's alright, Aunt Manna won't mind. This stuff spoils quickly, so if you want to eat it, Aunt Manna will probably have to heat it up for you."

"Excuse me, I need to put it in the refrigerator first."

Peter didn't budge Asiya's arm. Peter's mind grew even more focused, and he gradually increased his force—a force beyond what an ordinary person could withstand; enough to push a car with its handbrake engaged. Yet Asiya remained smiling, seemingly unaffected.

Finally, Asia seemed to give up and stopped exerting herself. Peter glanced at her and silently walked towards the refrigerator.

Behind him, Asia's smile had completely vanished. Her cold face and emotionless eyes stared at Peter's back as if he were looking at a dead object.

squeak...

That sound was the refrigerator door being opened.

Aunt Manna's refrigerator was opened. It wasn't very big, and the refrigerator compartment contained some fresh juice, some fruits, and vegetables.

The first one... a glass jar of red sauce, and two plates of half-eaten raw meat slices with purple veins...

The room fell silent; no one made a sound except for the hum of the open refrigerator.

Peter took a deep breath, his heart sinking to the bottom.

He had seen Tony Stark's research materials, which also contained information on various monsters from the eroded areas.

These textures, and those monster pictures, aren't exactly different; they're practically identical...

Aunt Manna... is she really eating the monsters from the eroded zone?

Peter's expression was indescribable and very complicated. These two plates of half-eaten monster meat shattered all his good fantasies.

Peter wanted to turn to Aunt Manna and ask if she had any pica or something, since it was possible that some people had this kind of fetish. He wanted to try and figure it out, just in case.

But the next second, the spider sense made his hair stand on end, and in an instant, his body reacted first, and he immediately squatted down.

bass!

A chilling glint of light swept across his scalp, slicing the open refrigerator door in two with a sharp whistling sound.

If Peter hadn't squatted down, he probably would have ended up like the refrigerator door.

Peter's spider senses issued another warning, and he rolled away somewhat awkwardly to avoid the attack.

Still shaken, Peter looked up and saw his attacker.

It's Asia!

Asia was completely different from how she was just half a minute ago. The gentle expression that had been somewhat incongruous on her face had completely disappeared, and her right arm had transformed into a nearly one-meter-long biological blade with dark red energy patterns flowing along its edges.

The blade seemed to grow out of her arm, somewhat like the forelegs of a praying mantis, but larger and sharper.

"What a pity, good boy, why did you touch my refrigerator?" Aunt Manna slowly stood up from the other side of the table, her eyes filled with regret as she looked at Peter, as if blaming him for being so inconsiderate.

"Aunt Manna, are you really eating monsters from the corrupted zone? You've been corrupted too?!" Peter couldn't help but shout. He was devastated; what Lin Yi said was actually true!

"Fool." It wasn't Aunt Manna who said it, but Asia's voice. She manipulated the blade on her arm to attack Peter relentlessly, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

The blade was extremely sharp, easily cutting through ordinary metal. Peter certainly didn't dare test whether his skin was as hard as metal, so he could only move around in the small room, relying on his Spider-Man reflexes and agility to dodge the attacks.

Aunt Manna clearly had no intention of answering Peter's question. She simply shook her head, giving him a look that said, "You shouldn't be doing this: Asia, hurry up, we can't be exposed."

Asia didn't respond, but her movements quickened. Her left arm began to rapidly deform and stretch, quickly transforming into a second, identical, blood-red blade. She pushed off with her foot, shattering the tiles instantly, and pounced on Peter like a mantis hunting its prey.

Peter quickly realized that he couldn't fight inside the house. The force with which he pushed Asya away showed that her strength was no less than his own. In the confined space, there were extremely sharp weapons on the other side, and there were two opponents, which was disadvantageous for him.

Thinking of this, Peter dodged Asia's attack again and kicked the single sofa next to him away.

The heavy sofa flew sideways and crashed into Asia.

Asia sneered and lightly swung her blade, slicing the single sofa in two.

But then, another sofa flew right in front of me.

Taking advantage of the moment, Peter quickly ran towards the window.

But in the blink of an eye, Aunt Manna, who had been standing at the dining table, somehow moved to the window. The whites of her eyes had disappeared, leaving them completely black, which looked extremely eerie.

Aunt Manna grinned, revealing a terrifying smile that had nothing to do with kindness, but her voice remained gentle.

"Where are you going, my good boy!"

Peter felt a tingling sensation on his scalp from the spider's senses and abruptly stopped.

The threat emanating from Aunt Manna was greater than that wielding Asia's double blades!
