"Good heavens..." Lin Yixu sat high in the air, with no support below, holding a large bucket of popcorn he had brought from the hotel, observing the chaotic streets below at close range.

The view from inside the hotel wasn't clear enough, so he just flew over here.

Inside the house below, the screaming monster Manna collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to get up again.

A bad feeling rose in Morgan's heart; this cry didn't sound like the wailing of someone struggling to die!

The howling echoed through the night sky, gradually fading away.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After a period of silence, then—

"squeak!!"

A few blocks away, the first response came, equally sharp.

"Squeak—!" From further away, a second and a third sound followed in quick succession!

The monster Manna's cry was like a horn, triggering a chain reaction, with one clear, sharp squeak after another echoing throughout every corner of the city of Succeed!

Peter felt ice-cold all over, and his spider senses were slithering all over his body.

Morgan felt a chill run down his spine. On the screen inside his visor, the city map was covered with numerous flashing red markers, each representing a point of reaction to the corrosive energy. These points of light were almost evenly distributed throughout the city's inconspicuous corners.

At this moment, these points of light were fully activated and became restless. Even more terrifying, they were moving, converging on this place from all directions, centered on Aunt Manna's apartment building.

"It's calling for its kind within the city!" Peter's voice came through his visor, and his suit was frantically alarming.

"I know, things are serious..." Morgan looked at the information inside the visor.

[Alert! A total of 67 high-intensity erosion energy sources have been activated across the city!]

[Threat level escalating: City-level crisis event, triggering the Wall Protocol response level; response in progress.]

[Recommendation: Evacuate the current area immediately! Repeat: Evacuate immediately!]

Jarvis's speech quickened, and a sense of urgency, tinged with humanity, followed.

Morgan remained silent, his eyes fixed on the barely breathing Manna monster. His rational nature and sharp mind, inherited from Tony Stark, were rapidly assessing the situation.

It's no longer time to wonder why these eroding monsters appear in the city, or what they rely on to live there.

There are 67 locations, each representing the transformation and eruption of an eroding monster. The eroding energy will spread throughout the city in a very short time as they move. On the surface, it seems that the city is almost certain to fall.

However, if handled properly and acted upon swiftly, they can be saved. Stark Industries' anti-corrosion agents, if used early, can even save ordinary people affected by the corrosion.

Why are these monsters converging here? Are they trying to rescue their companions? Or do they have some other motive?

There was no time to think about it. On the screen map, those scarlet dots were moving extremely fast. Some of them were even shooting out of underground pipes. The closest ones were less than two kilometers away and would arrive in a minute at most.

"Peter! Something's happened! You need to leave immediately!"

"What? No, that won't do." Peter immediately shook his head and refused.

"Listen to me, your combat suit's protection level is too low. It can only withstand R3 level corrosive energy at most. At the current speed of the monsters' advance, this place will become an R5 level threat zone in ten minutes at most. You are useless here! Listen to me, leave!"

Even someone with extraordinary abilities like Spider-Man Peter Parker can only resist for a longer period of time than an ordinary person, but he cannot avoid being corrupted. At R5 level, an ordinary person would mutate within a minute, and someone like Peter would probably only last for ten minutes.

It's manageable to deal with ordinary people who mutate into eroding monsters, as their strength is only average. But if Peter were to mutate, wow, a giant eroding spider would be a nightmare for the entire city!

Peter's suit was made by his relatively technologically backward Uncle Tony, not his father Tony. Its hardware system is far inferior to the Mark suit he wears, which is why Morgan, as an ordinary person, is more powerful than Peter when she puts on the suit.

"My suit has built-in anti-corrosion agents, enough for me to fight safely for up to half an hour," Peter refused again, stubbornly insisting. He knew what Morgan was thinking; the corrosive energy had already begun to spread, and soon a large number of ordinary people would turn into Corrosives.

Although Morgan is strong, the danger level is still very high when facing the horde of corrupted monsters. His presence can at least be of some help.

"You all leave!" A calm voice came through the communication channel between the two. At the same time, the roar of a spacecraft's propulsion could be heard from high above.

The whistling sound grew louder as it approached, and a streak of gold and red light tore through the night sky, swooping down from high above, the jets of air from the thrusters scattering the dust on the ground.

Tony Stark finally arrived.

"R5 is just a conservative estimate. After a large number of ordinary people are infected, the level will quickly rise to R6."

"All robot guards have been deployed and can control the eroded monsters that ordinary people have turned into to some extent, but they are unable to deal with the 67 eroded monsters that have been lying in ambush for an unknown period of time."

"The city wall agreement has been activated. Satellites in low Earth orbit are dropping large combat machines. You need to leave here and go to the outskirts of the city. What we need to do now is to contain the damage within one city."

"The corrupted beings, once ordinary people are corrupted, lose all reason. You must control them and prevent any from leaving the city! As for the corrupted monsters heading here, I'll handle that!"

Tony wore the MK137 suit, still featuring the red and gold color scheme, but with a sharper and more streamlined design. It still exudes a beautiful blend of technology and style.

As he spoke, Tony kept a wary eye on a direction high in the sky.

He just flew over from there and saw the stranger named Lin Yi, who was reported by the Spider-Man suit.

Tony flew past him, and Lin Yixu sat in the air, holding a box of popcorn. He just glanced at him lazily, without any hostility or friendliness, leaving Tony confused about what he meant.

But this spectator-like behavior made him wonder if the outbreak of the corrosive monster was related to him. After all, this person sitting high in the sky watching the show was somewhat similar to the mastermind behind the scenes in a movie.

But Tony quickly rejected the idea. Lin Yi's appearance was brief, while these corrosive monsters had clearly been lurking for a very long time.

Whether this individual named Lin Yi is friend or foe is still unknown. Tony is somewhat worried that he might cause trouble, so he has to divert some of his attention to Lin Yi.

"...Okay, Uncle Tony. Peter, let's go." After a moment of silence, Morgan decided to listen to Tony.

Although Uncle Tony's skills are relatively outdated, his combat experience and on-the-spot adaptability are far superior to Morgan's. The best option is to listen and assist him, rather than stubbornly doing things that might backfire.
