Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Something's not right. Lin Yi and the others are taking a detour."

Jarvis suddenly sent back a message, causing Tony to stop in his tracks.

"What do you mean?" Steve walked over, brandishing his shield.

These monsters were nothing more than a warm-up for him. Their goal was to reach the sixth level and collect enough crystal fragments.

After obtaining enough guaranteed rewards, head to the spaces above the seventh level to see if you can obtain higher-level crystal fragments.

Although it is also a top-tier existence in the dimensional gap world, its combat power is still quite far behind that of the top Kryptonians and the leaders of various organizations.

Apart from Steve, everyone else tends to act conservatively, while Steve constantly complains that they are too cowardly.

Natasha and Banner also joined in.

Tony tilted his head as he listened to the report, his brows furrowed.

"The nanobots have detected Lin Yi and Eli bypassing the disabled area, and their expected direction is towards the entrance to the fifth floor..."

"Probability trends suggest that they appear to be aiming for the sixth level."

Tony couldn't understand why they didn't continue deeper into the fifth level.

Is it...

Recalling the nanobot's report on Lin Yi's movements, it seemed that he was intentionally or unintentionally looking directly upwards.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Could Lin Yi be coming to the sixth floor to find us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Natasha's expression turned strange.

Lin Yi came to see him? Why? Didn't things have almost completely fallen out?

She felt that Tony was being a bit presumptuous; perhaps he thought the monsters on the fifth floor weren't strong enough and wanted to move on to the next floor, which was perfectly normal.

The previous battle with Steve revealed some clues; most of the monsters on the fifth floor were no match for Lin Yi.

"Tony, aren't you being too sensitive?" Natasha said. "I have a feeling that you're acting a little different in this space ruin than before."

"He was on edge, and his caution and vigilance were written all over his face."

Tony frowned but didn't refute. Natasha, considering the most likely possibility, asked hesitantly, "Tony, are you... afraid?"

Tony's brow furrowed even deeper.

His current feelings cannot be fully described by the single word "fear".

Worry, anxiety, and nervous tension tormented him.

"What are you afraid of? What's there to be afraid of?" Steve slammed his shield against a nearby rock with a bang, shattering it into pieces.

"Is he afraid of Lin Yi?" Steve thought he'd guessed right, and muttered, "Fuck, you should trust my abilities, Tony!"

"If you hadn't stopped him, would the fight with Lin Yi have turned out that badly?"

"I'm going all out, and that kid can withstand two moves? You're still afraid of him? Hmm?"

Tony waved his hand irritably: "I'm not afraid of him, I just..."

"Fuck, you're nothing but a hair! And to be honest, it's your fault, I..."

"That's enough!"

Before he could finish speaking, Natasha sternly stopped him.

"The Space Ruins isn't a place for you to argue, Steve. Save your energy for the seventh level."

Natasha is still furious about Steve's behavior.

They went all out, but Lin Yi went all out?

He acted like a clown, failing to probe anything and making the relationship so strained.

One is a lump of iron, the other a complete simpleton; the two of them are truly skilled.

"Stop arguing, let's head deeper as soon as possible. Once we have enough, we'll go to the seventh floor as soon as possible." Tony didn't want to pay any more attention to Steve; he always had a way of making people angry.

The group temporarily put Lin Yi out of their minds and began to venture deeper into the area.

Tony quietly rearmed his headgear so he could better view the data.

He didn't tell his teammates that, in addition to Lin Yi's information, he had also found the rune lizardman who was suspected of impersonating Lin Yi.

The images transmitted back by the nanobots were not of any strange lizardmen, but rather images of three men.

Jarvis became suspicious and took notice because one of the silver-haired men was the vice president of the Space Association.

The other two were dressed in a full cloak and wearing a metal mask, while the other was an ordinary passerby.

If that's all there is to it, it's not worth Jarvis's attention.

But the silver-haired vice president was bowing awkwardly to the cloaked man with the metal mask, as if he were apologizing.

Who is that? Besides the president of the Space Association, who else could make the vice president bend over?

Could the vice president of the Space Association be an informant planted by another organization?

No, that's absolutely impossible.

It's highly unlikely that someone could have gotten to this position through espionage.

So, who exactly is this person wearing the metal mask? He didn't appear in the previous time loops.

This difference, yet another one, made Tony even more irritable.

"Have the comparison results come out yet?" Tony asked Jarvis.

The sound was blocked inside the suits, so Natasha and the others couldn't hear it.

"Comparison complete. There are over 280,000 humanoid life forms with a similarity rate of over 90%."

"But, the highest comparison result among them..."

"Sir, your build is most similar to that of this masked, unknown person."

Tony, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped.

"Tony, what's wrong?" Natasha, who was walking behind, stopped.

Tony paused for a moment, then said, "No, it's nothing. Let's keep going."

With that, Tony started walking again toward their special vehicle.

It's called a vehicle, but it's actually a single-person land-based flying machine built by Tony.

In this ever-changing environment, where the time and place are unpredictable, for safety reasons, the aircraft can only leave the ground at a distance of half a meter, giving everyone enough time to react to changes.

Natasha narrowed her eyes as she watched Tony's retreating figure.

She had already realized that Tony was hiding information, and a lot of information at that.

Natasha touched the back of her neck, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Could it be that Tony discovered the time loop?

Lin Yi's appearance was unexpected, and Tony's unusual behavior was initially thought to be related to Lin Yi, but now it seems that it is not entirely the case.

Perhaps because of Lin Yi's appearance, Tony seems to have realized something extraordinary.

These things are starting to drift away from what Natasha wanted to see, and that's dangerous.

So, should we move the plan forward?

As Natasha thought this, she subtly bent her palm and tapped out a specific, silent frequency in her hand.

A message appeared in Natasha's mind without anyone noticing.

Neither Lin Yi nor Tony can ruin that plan.
