Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Wake up, it's time to go back."

This old man is really carefree; he can actually sleep in a place like this. And he's sleeping quite soundly. Lin Yi called him several times before the old man groggily opened his eyes.

"What's wrong? Is it dawn?"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes: "Get up quickly, someone's here to help, we don't need to wait for the righteous Bat-Man anymore."

"Cough cough... Young man, you really don't treat the elderly well at all." The old man sat up in dissatisfaction, clearly very unhappy that Lin Yi had interrupted his sleep.

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense, are you still looking for the little baby or not!"

"We need to get back quickly; maybe I can stop that dial," Lin Yi dropped the bombshell.

The old man's initially lazy and dismissive attitude changed instantly upon hearing those words.

"Young man, it's not good to fool an old man."

Lin Yi rolled her eyes again.

"I'm just bored, so I'm going to fool you. Hurry up!"

Seeing that Lin Yi was no longer joking, the old man got up quickly, even more anxious than Lin Yi, without needing to be urged anymore.

"Let's go, let's find the little girl and go back quickly!"

When the two came outside, Lin Yi didn't even give them time to introduce themselves; there was no need for that at all.

The old man was instructed to find the little girl's photo directly from his own panel.

"How is it?" Lin Yi asked Tony.

Tony, somewhat speechless, asked Jarvis to take a picture.

"What do you mean, 'how is it'? The network isn't completely finished yet. We need to give these little guys some time."

The quantum sensor sphere has now flown far in all directions, but the city is larger than Tony imagined.

"Jarvis, speed things up! Set up the network while scanning the photos for information about the people in them." Tony knew time was of the essence, so he immediately instructed Jarvis to accelerate the process.

Incidentally, he also asked Jarvis to keep an eye on the location of the search door.

After confirming the order, Tony looked up and immediately noticed two pairs of eyes staring intently at him.

"Don't look at me, I already said it takes time, we're already searching."

The old man looked at Lin Yi: "So, what's next..."

Lin Yi nodded: "Okay, just wait."

"That's it? You rushed the old man out of bed just to see a picture?"

Since Tony wasn't introduced to the old man, from the old man's perspective, it was as if Lin Yi suddenly called him over, gave him a bunch of fluff, showed him a photo, and then told him to wait.

Could he really be fooling me? Making fun of an old man?

Lin Yi ignored him and walked to the recliner next to him to sit down again.

Tony has already made his move, so there's no need for him to rush things.

With the technology Tony possesses, finding a door or a person is no problem at all.

"Alright, alright, stop being unreasonable. Just wait quietly. I reckon we'll get some news soon."

Tony nodded in agreement, and part of his suit extended to transform into a chair. He sat down next to Lin Yi.

"That's right, we expect to have the results within ten minutes."

The old man could wait ten minutes.

However, seeing that both of them had chairs to sit on, and not even bothering to get one for himself, the old man became dissatisfied again.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, just clicked his tongue and sat down on the ground.

There were no stars in the night sky, so the three of them just sat there waiting, with the occasional cries of monsters and the faint sound of owl-men throwing bombs in the distance.

For three minutes, the old man gazed at the night sky.

Five minutes later, Lin Yi scratched his arm.

After 10 minutes, Tony checked the internal data of the visor.

After 15 minutes, the old man became restless and looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi understood immediately and looked at Tony.

"...Wait a little longer, haven't found it yet."

"Maybe the child has hidden underground. I'll have Jarvis focus his search underground."

The two looked away.

Until half an hour later...

The old man didn't say anything, but he had been staring at Lin Yi for a long time, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he didn't say anything, Lin Yi understood what he meant; the old man's mockery was undisguised!

Lin Yi looked at Tony expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Tony inexplicably heard the sound.

Lin Yi seemed to be saying: Friend, are you trying to make me lose face in front of the old man?

Tony and Jarvis glanced at the unchanging data with a sigh of relief. After confirming several times that they had not found any information, they could only shrug at each other.

"The child hasn't been found, so either he's hiding outside the detection range, or he's already left this space."

In terms of scope, during this period, Tony's quantum sensors had been distributed over a distance equivalent to two Earth planets spread out.

"Besides the children, we haven't found any concept of a door to go back to. Are you sure there really won't be a door appearing here at any time or place?"

Tony even felt that the information the two had given him was incorrect.

Lin Yi turned to look at the old man.

I'm asking you!

The old man tugged at his beard.

"The old man is certain of it. With the current location as the center, there will definitely be at least one door within a circular area with a radius of 5,000 kilometers. Of course, the location may change at any time."

This has been an unchanging rule for a long time, and the old man guessed that it was the minimum standard set by Time City to prevent them from being unable to return.

Although it's said to be 5,000 kilometers, most people will find their way back within a few hundred kilometers in normal times.

Five thousand kilometers is the longest distance ever recorded.

Tony frowned as he listened.

"That's strange. The sensors cover an area of ​​several 5,000 kilometers, yet they haven't found a single door..."

Tony asked the old man, "Has this happened before?"

The old man shook his head, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure that within an area covering tens of thousands of kilometers, not a single door was found?"

"Of course, my skills aren't good enough to make such a basic mistake," Tony replied, somewhat dissatisfied.

The old man took a deep breath and fell silent.

Then he glanced at Lin Yi.

Something's not right. Why isn't this kid saying anything?

"Are you alright?" the old man asked.

He originally thought Lin Yi would mock him for his inaccurate information, but to his surprise, Lin Yi rocked in his rocking chair and didn't argue with him.

The rocking chair creaked twice and then stopped.

Lin Yi pulled his hands out from behind his head and glanced at the old man.

Do owl-men take breaks?

The old man was taken aback.

"The Owlman? Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"

Lin Yi turned his head and looked towards the place where the explosion had come from.

"Didn't you notice? The explosion sounds have stopped."

The old man was stunned again. His mind wasn't on this at all; he was waiting for information from the Iron Man.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

Indeed, I don't know when it started, but the sound of the owl-men throwing bombs disappeared.

No, the monster's screams are still going on, which means that the monsters in this area haven't been cleared out yet, so the owl-men couldn't have escaped beyond their audible range.

Lin Yi squinted and looked in one direction.

"The Owlman has disappeared."
