Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Don't just keep asking these questions, ask what the Corrosion Element is all about?" the shield suddenly reminded him.

Oh right, I almost forgot about that.

Lin Yi immediately asked about the erosion on the other hemisphere of the spaceship.

After all, orange gemstones are highly suspected of having the ability to dispel corrosive energy elements, which inevitably raises suspicions about the connection between them.

[The orange gem does indeed possess the ability to remove abnormal energy and elements. The specific categories of abnormalities are as follows—] The spaceship quickly listed a dense array of energy and elements labeled as abnormal types.

"How did the erosion energy erupt? Is it related to you?" Lin Yi glanced at the types of energy and continued to ask.

There is no direct connection; the erosion energy eruption originates from the erosion core, which comes from... a dimensional rift.

"Dimensional gap?"

Yes, it comes from the dimensional rift within the ascending space of the second dimension.

So that's how it is. It seems that the dimensional shuttle, the orange gem, and the corrosive energy are unrelated; it's just that the orange gem happens to have the function of dispelling the corrosive energy.

"Do you know why the Corruption Core appeared here from that... dimensional rift?"

Yes, the eroded core was ejected from the dimensional rift due to the distortion of ascending space caused by the dimensional collision, thus appearing here.

"Is this a coincidence?"

[Confirmed, this is an extremely low probability event.]

...It was hard to keep up. Lin Yi thought it was a conspiracy by someone or some organization, but it turned out to be a very low-probability coincidence.

"Okay, finally tell me where the erosion core is and if there's a solution."

Knowing what it is makes things easier. It's an erosion core, which sounds like a small thing. Just take it and throw it into No Man's Land, and that should solve the problem.

The erosion core has been distributed across the hemisphere and no longer has a solid body; complete removal requires deconstruction and ablation.

It's a bit more complicated than expected. Lin Yi, too lazy to think too much about what "arrangement" meant, simply asked, "What specific methods are there?"

[This dimensional shuttle has the corresponding functions. Should we deploy operations? This operation is expected to last 24 hours.]

Oh?

Lin Yi sat up slightly. It even has this function?!

Sure enough, this thing is a good product.

"Will it affect the spaceship itself, or rather, the orange gem?" Lin Yi cautiously asked.

[There is no impact; the orange gem's self-energy recovery rate far exceeds its consumption rate.]

"Alright, open the cockpit and let me out, then start work immediately."

"Come pick me up as soon as you finish your homework."

[Received, driver Lin Yi. Mission details uploaded, route planning underway. Operations to commence soon...]

The cockpit door opened again, and Lin Yi jumped out.

[The pilot has disembarked from the shuttle; operations have commenced.]

As the words fell, the cockpit closed again. The entire rhomboid dimensional shuttle turned around, and then the hull rippled slightly.

The next second, a sound similar to an energy weapon charging was heard, and the dimensional shuttle disappeared from its spot with a hum.

Even their flight posture is this advanced? No sonic boom, they just vanished!

"Look at them, and then look at yourself," Lin Yi couldn't help but complain to the shield.

The shield looked surprised: "What do you mean?"

"Look how useful he is, and all you do is gossip and act crazy all day."

"Huh?" The shield leaned back. "What's wrong with you so suddenly?"

Lin Yi waved his hand, looking exasperated, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

"Tsk, carbon-based life forms are such a hassle."

Lin Yi was amazed. It had been so long, and this was the first time he had encountered such a useful little helper who could automatically solve his problems.

Trouble always comes knocking, and then I have to solve it little by little on my own.

Now that someone has suddenly appeared who is willing to help him with small things without him having to lift a finger, how could Lin Yi not be moved!

It nestled back against Lin Yi's chest, transforming back into the sign. As if remembering something, the shield turned the camera around, looking at Lin Yi with ill intent.

"Tell me, are you sure this spaceship is telling the truth? What if it's trying to scam you out of the orange gem and then runs away? What are you going to do then?"

"Holy crap!?" Lin Yi was stunned.

This is something he never even imagined.

"Probably not... I've never heard of any intelligent agent having this function." Since the other person wasn't real, the attitude and information they conveyed made Lin Yi subconsciously avoid the possibility of them lying.

No way, no way? Could it be that, like the shield said, he really got led astray by his orange gem?

[Note: The shield-related statement is purely speculative. The ownership of the shuttle in this dimension belongs to Lin Yi; this is not a speculative act.]

The sound of the spaceship suddenly rang in Lin Yi's mind.

Is this a kind of spiritual connection?

Goodness, this actually relieved Lin Yi.

But does it know about shields?

After thinking about it, Lin Yi felt that it must be in the future, and the shield was still with him, which would explain why the dimensional shuttle knew about the shield.

Doesn't this further prove that the shield is purely a figment of imagination?

At that moment, Tony walked over with a blank expression.

"What's going on? How did you open it? Is this some kind of alien spaceship? Where did it go?"

As soon as I arrived, a whole bunch of questions came out.

Tony was a little nervous. Could the spaceship have escaped? The corrosion problem hadn't been solved yet. What if the spaceship had run away with the orange gem that could dispel corrosion energy?

"It's a bit complicated," Lin Yi said, turning his head away.

"Could you briefly explain?"

"Alright then." Lin Yi pointed to the direction the spaceship had just turned around: "This spaceship... it's mine."

"Huh?" Tony was even more confused, then realized what he meant and gave him an "I understand" look.

"Don't worry, I won't fight you for this spaceship."

Lin Yi was speechless at the way the man spoke to her, as if Tony was using this as an excuse to make sure she was afraid he would fight over the spaceship.

Doesn't he even consider that he can compete with Lin Yi?

"I'm not kidding you, have you forgotten the orange gem I took out?" Lin Yi explained.

"That thing is one of the keys and power sources for this spaceship."

"This spaceship is indeed mine, but it wasn't left behind by me at this time... Never mind, why should I explain all this to you? You just need to know that it belongs to me."

"Now, the ship has gone to deal with the eroding energy core in the other hemisphere. I think you can stop researching your Sentinel Wanda now."

"Oh?" Tony's eyes widened, and he picked at his ear.

"Really?"

"Are you always this suspicious?" Lin Yi glanced at Tony.

"Let's go back and find a place to rest. The spaceship is expected to be cleaned up in 24 hours. You'll see the results in 24 hours."
