Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"At present, the safe zone is not completely free of corrosive elements, but rather in such small amounts that they are almost undetectable and have no effect on living organisms."

"Based on our latest sensor technology, we can detect trace amounts of corrosive elements, and the distribution map is centered on this element and spreads outwards. The closer to the center, the fewer trace corrosive elements there are."

"And within a hundred-kilometer radius of this object, the corrosive elements completely disappear, so this conjecture is not entirely unfounded." Tony explained in a series of sentences, only to find that Lin Yi was lost in thought.

What's going on?

Tony waved his hand: "Did you even hear what I was saying?"

"Huh?" Lin Yi snapped out of her reverie. "Of course I'm listening."

"I just had a thought that came to mind."

Several pictures and pieces of information reminded Lin Yi of the orange gem in his alternate dimension, which was given to him by the quantum man.

The orange light, and the near-limitless energy somewhat similar to that of the Infinity Stones. It looks exactly like them.

But does the piece in his hand have the ability to dispel corrosive elements? Lin Yi didn't know, since he hadn't taken it out since he arrived.

Moreover, it makes sense that the Celestials are after this thing, since it is some kind of "key" and they are collecting it.

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he immediately prepared to go and take a look.

but……

"If, as you said before, this thing has the ability to dispel corrosive elements, if I take it away, won't the entire Earth be corroded?"

Tony hummed in agreement: "Most likely. Do you want to take this?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Otherwise what, Tony? Don't beat around the bush with me. Do you think this information alone is enough to warrant me taking action against the Celestials?"

"Okay, okay, my problem." Tony raised his hands in surrender; he had indeed acted somewhat cleverly.

The terms of their deal at the time were implicitly agreed upon: Lin Yi would give him the information, and in return, Lin Yi could take it. Otherwise, why would Lin Yi agree to something based solely on information?

His cleverness was just a subconscious act; after all, he still needed to live on this planet. But clearly, the other person saw through his act immediately and wasn't buying it.

With a sigh, Tony prepared to compromise: "You can take it, but could you give us some time?"

"How so?"

"We need a solution. As mentioned before, the hypothesis that this substance can dispel corrosive elements is most likely correct. We need some time to research other things to ensure that the normal hemisphere can function normally even without this substance."

"Or rather... it's possible to use this thing to turn the other half of Earth back to normal."

"How about it? Give me three months, no, two months, how about that?"

Lin Yi remained silent, pondering the matter for a moment.

Okay, if what Tony said is true, he's not really the kind of villain who would just take it all and watch Earth be completely destroyed.

He can accept waiting for a while.

"One month. I'll give you one month."

"One month..." Tony hesitated. He knew he didn't have much room for negotiation; his hesitation stemmed from what method he could use to eliminate the corrosive elements within a month.

"If that thing can really solve the problem of corrosive elements, then why not just take it to the corrosive hemisphere and leave it there for a few days? I think a month is already a lot," Lin Yi said.

Tony nodded: "That's true in theory, but you know, there are always more unpredictable surprises in action than in planning."

"It's only one month, I'll figure something out..."

Hmm? That's quite sensible. In that case…

Lin Yi spoke again: "Let's go and see what this thing is. If it can really solve the problem of corrosive elements, I can lend a hand."

Tony's eyes lit up: "That would be perfect."

Tony has already received another message about his return. With two Tonys, it shouldn't be a problem to figure out a way to deal with the corrosive elements within a month.

Even if that doesn't work, using our own technology to relocate most of the remaining life on Earth to other planets for a short period of time is a backup option.

After all, once this item has been traded, it can no longer remain on Earth.

You asked Tony if he regretted making that deal? He didn't. This time, the Celestials attacked with reinforcements. If it weren't for Lin Yi, Morgan, piloting the anti-Celestial suit alone, probably wouldn't have even had a chance to transfer life on Earth.

Therefore, he should be content with what he has.

With that thought in mind, Tony abandoned his last shred of hope and asked Lin Yi, "When are we going?"

Lin Yi glanced out the window; it was already late at night. But for Lin Yi now, day and night made little difference.

"Now."

Lin Yi understood the saying that things can change quickly.

Tony was somewhat surprised, but he did not refute it.

"Okay, shall we go together?"

Lin Yi glanced at him and said, "Okay."

The two hit it off immediately, and half an hour later, Tony, dressed in his battle suit and carrying a large suitcase, reappeared in front of Lin Yi.

"Simple detection equipment." Tony patted his suitcase. "Time is a bit tight; it will take some time for the larger detection equipment to get there."

"However, if we can get this back this time, we won't need to go through all that trouble."

The destination was neither too far nor too near, but because they had plenty of time and were somewhat considerate of Tony, the two didn't fly very fast, though even so, it was still several times the speed of sound.

Lin Yi thought they could just open a portal to get there, but in the end, he gave up on the idea.

If he's not in a rush, Lin Yi prefers to fly.

Following the coordinates, the two quickly approached their target location, which was a vast desert.

As they approached, Lin Yi activated his super vision.

Yes, it's several hundred meters underground, and it's underground again, but that's normal.

Upon landing, Tony clapped his hands and lifted his faceplate.

"Come on, show us."

They had originally planned to bring excavation equipment, but that would take time, so Lin Yi said he could handle it himself. Tony was happy to save himself the trouble.

Lin Yi hummed in agreement, but did not make a move immediately.

As he landed, his super vision activated simultaneously, and he immediately spotted the slender, diamond-shaped object hundreds of meters underground.

It's a metallic object, but it's not the orange solid image Tony released earlier.

The orange solid was inside the metal object, and this metal object... how should I put it, is it like a weapon, or what?

"Tony, did your sensors only detect the orange solid object before? It didn't have a shell?"

Tony paused for a moment, then said, "Yeah, didn't you see the picture? It's probably a solid object the size of a gemstone."

This is interesting. Is the outer shell of this metal object completely transparent inside the sensor?
