Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"It can't be that bad..." the old man said instinctively.

Lin Yi reminded him that the Owlman's bombing sounds had indeed disappeared.

"Maybe he's resting?" The old man seemed to think things were normal. Was Lin Yi's reaction a bit too extreme?

"The door is nowhere to be found, the child is nowhere to be found, and the owl-man has stopped blowing things up."

These three things are not actually closely related, especially the last one, the owl-man's bomb sound.

But Lin Yi had a feeling that something was wrong.

With his super vision activated, Lin Yi looked in the direction of the last explosion.

Wherever they went, there was chaos, but no sign of the owl-man.

In the sky, the searchlights of the owl's shadow were still shining.

"I'm sure something's wrong. Something in the air has changed. Can you feel it?" Lin Yi said confidently, stretching out his hand into the air as if sensing something.

The air felt a little thicker; it was a somewhat abstract feeling.

The old man curled his lip, completely unaware of anything unusual.

Tony remained silent for a moment before quietly activating combat mode.

Based on his past trust in Lin Yi and his past performance, Tony had reason to believe that Lin Yi was serious and would not deceive him at this time.

Drop drop drop.

An unknown beeping sound rang out, and Lin Yi and the old man's control panels automatically popped up in front of them.

[Please note that half the time has passed, and the righteous owl-man has transformed into the evil owl-monster.]

The evil owl-man attacks all living beings indiscriminately. Please stay away from its detection range.

Below is a map showing the owl monster's sensory area.

But this labeling is as good as not labeling at all. The owl monster's sensing range covers the entire planet...

Lin Yi was speechless. This was just like Cao Dan.

"Old man, what do you mean?"

The old man grinned as he looked at the searchlights in the sky.

"What the hell am I talking about!"

The searchlights in the sky, which were originally white, had turned blood red.

The searchlights were gone, and the glowing pattern seemed to hang in the sky like the moon, giving people a sense of distance.

Suddenly, within the crimson light, the silhouette of the owl opened its eyes.

Then, the silhouette seemed to come alive, constantly turning its head as if it were observing the things on the ground.

All three noticed the anomaly, as the crimson light spilled across the earth, tinging the city with a faint crimson hue.

"Hmm, it's got that horror movie vibe," Lin Yi commented.

Panic? Not at all. Even if the Dimensional Gem is taken offline, Lin Yi's own abilities are still there.

Clearing out some weird world is a piece of cake, isn't it?

"Gurgle?"

A loud cry emanated from the pattern, and the pair of scarlet owl eyes suddenly fixed on Lin Yi and the other two, as if they had found their target.

"GOOD! Main character treatment!"

Lin Yi pointed at the disc and said, "Come on, Tony, let's fire a shot at it to test the waters!"

Without a word, Tony stretched out his arms, and the suit on his arms transformed and merged into a huge, technologically advanced cannon barrel with flowing light loops.

A rapid charging notification sounded, and the muzzle flashed with azure light ions.

With a hum, a particle-piercing cannon shot instantly tore through the night sky, hurtling straight toward the pattern like a meteor.

When~~

A dull thud resounded, and the pattern had somehow materialized into a physical form.

The target's strength and defenses were estimated and transmitted back into Tony's mask.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the estimated intensity.

It's alright, we can fight them. Their strength is estimated to be even weaker than those two guards from Lohta we fought before.

"Its strength is average, should we just blow it up?" Tony asked.

Lin Yi's super vision detected the damage to the spot where Tony had bombarded, and he realized that the thing wasn't very strong.

"Kill the evil owl monster, and the final gate will appear. Through the final gate, you can return to Time City," the old man spoke up from the side. His panel had more prompts than Lin Yi's.

"Isn't that great? Why are you making such a sour face?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

The old man gave a bitter smile: "The final gate will only appear for one hour. After that, this space will collapse and disappear, never to appear again."

In other words, after killing the owl monster, all living beings in the current space need to reach the final gate and return to Time City within one hour; otherwise, they will perish along with the entire space.

"That's a problem," Lin Yi said, frowning slightly.

"Hey old man, you can fly, right? Go and tell those people who come here looking for food, and while you're at it, search for any trace of the little baby."

"I'll see if the owl monster knows anything. We'll kill it precisely two hours from now, okay?"

This way, everyone will have time to evacuate. Adding the hour after the final gate appears, that's a total of three hours, which should be enough time for them to evacuate.

"The problem is, it takes two or three hours to notify everyone one by one," the old man said, still looking distressed.

"That's not a problem." Tony stepped forward and conjured a large metal megaphone several tens of centimeters long using his suit.

"The ultra-high-powered loudspeaker can cover a radius of ten kilometers. As long as you fly fast enough, it is enough to notify all living beings in the city."

"Also, put this on," Tony said, taking out another pair of glasses with a headset.

"My quantum sensors cover the entire planet, marking the locations of normal life to prevent you from flying to the wrong place."

"We were lucky; most of them were clustered within a certain area, so three hours was more than enough time to evacuate."

Tony paused as he spoke.

"However, the child in the photo still hasn't been found."

"So, let's interrogate the owl monster," Lin Yi added from the side.

"And since you can see the so-called final gate information, then many people must have already received the hint. What we're doing is just an extra layer of protection. Go."

Even with his superhuman eyesight, he couldn't find it, and he strongly suspected that the owl monster had hidden it.

Seeing that the two had finalized the plan in just a few words, what could the old man say? He had to carry it out.

Without hesitation, he reached out and took it, put on the glasses, put the cane under his crotch, turned on the megaphone, and flew into the sky.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

The old man's distinctive voice resonated loudly through the loudspeaker.

"Attention! This space will be destroyed in three hours! The final gate will appear in two hours! Everyone, head to the final gate immediately!"

"Coordinates...repeated..."

The old man called out as his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Tony looked at the old man who had become a tiny dot and commented, "His flying posture is quite unique."
