Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

But the soft ground beneath his feet and the fragrance of the soil in his nostrils told the old man that this was reality.

"How...how did you do that?" the old man asked dryly.

"Here, this is it. You heard what the owl monster said." Lin Yi waved the owl feather in his hand.

The old man stopped talking, but his expression was incredibly sour.

"Hehe, could you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi rolled his eyes: "No way, don't even think about it."

"Tsk, the old man hasn't even said anything yet, and you already know!" The old man slammed his cane on the ground, clearly displeased.

Lin Yi sneered, "You... never mind, it's too disgusting, let's not talk about it."

"Coo coo coo! Can you let me go now?!" the owl monster couldn't help but interrupt.

I'm still tied up, it's very uncomfortable.

Lin Yi squinted and looked over.

The reward was given automatically as soon as I picked up the owl feather, but the owl monster didn't release it.

It feels like whether I have this thing or not doesn't affect my ability to get the reward.

Could it be that...?

Lin Yi was itching to try it out.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yi's gaze was too terrifying, the owl monster immediately shuddered.

"Good sir, you can't go back on your word! I've given you everything!"

"Hero! I'm still useful!"

"Although you've made this world so beautiful, as long as it exists, those monsters will keep multiplying! Leave me here, and I can help you clean up those monsters!" The owl monster quickly asserted its value.

"Oh? You have this function too?"

Lin Yi did not doubt that the owl monster was lying.

The planet has been terraformed, but there are still large areas of space outside the planet that are simulated cosmic environments, and the fog that fills those areas is clearly the source of the monsters.

There doesn't seem to be a good way to get rid of this stuff.

In the memories of the owl feather, this thing was like a microorganism in nature, which could solve some bugs caused by various reasons, but the side effect was that it would breed these monsters whose combat power was nothing to Lin Yi.

Owl Feather didn't record why those bugs occurred, but compared to the continuous and stable existence of the space, those monsters were nothing.

With the owl monsters around, their numbers can be kept under control, which is quite reasonable.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately waved his hand and retrieved the chains.

"Look at what you're saying, do you think I'd fool you?"

Lin Yi smiled, but the owl monster shivered.

That's just a way to fool people.

He shuddered again: "Well, sir, if there's nothing else, I'm heading back to my lair!"

Does this thing even have a nest?

Lin Yi nodded: "Let's go, let's go."

The owl monster breathed a sigh of relief and ran off on its long legs, leaving Lin Yi somewhat confused.

Isn't this thing supposed to fly? Why does it need to run?

Lin Yi found out in no time.

The owl monster took off into the air in the distance, carrying a huge... searchlight in its arms.

Although the world environment has changed, Lin Yi chose to stay behind, except for the abandoned houses, as well as other items including food and technological creations. Basically, their locations haven't changed; they've just fallen to the ground.

Looking away, Lin Yi shook his head speechlessly and said to the old man and Tony, "It's completely resolved, let's go back too."

Although this whole process wasted some time, it's much better than having to wait another hour.

Using the owl feather, Lin Yi directly opened the final door.

The name sounds impressive, but the door is small, only allowing two people to pass through at a time.

This gate consumes almost no energy, and its energy consumption is even slower than Lin Yi's recovery. Theoretically, it can exist indefinitely, which saves a lot of trouble.

This way, Lin Yi wouldn't have to wait for those people behind him to dawdle.

Lin Yi put away the owl feathers after setting the device to automatically shut down once all non-natives of this space had left.

As for the second function that requires independent research, we'll talk about that later; I don't have time to deal with it now.

"Let's go," Lin Yi said again.

The old man nodded, walked to Lin Yi's side, and looked back at the green hills and clear waters with a lingering sense of despair.

"Well, once you leave Time City, this place will be useless to you, right? Can't we really talk about it?"

"I have a lot of good stuff in my collection, want to trade?"

The old man hasn't given up yet; this is the first time he's seen someone gain control over the space behind these doors.

If there were such a place, could all the people of Time City move here to live?

The plants on the ground are edible; the old man just plucked a couple of handfuls and put them in his mouth when Lin Yi wasn't looking, which has already been verified.

There would be no shortage of food, and the environment here was much better than Time City. The old man was really tempted!

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak but only looked disgusted, as if he was implying that Lin Yi had something good to offer, the old man couldn't help but blush.

Indeed, all his collections combined wouldn't amount to even a fraction of what's here.

"How about this, you can keep this door open all the time? We can come and stay, and we can help you clear out the monsters as payment, how about that?"

"Let's talk about this later." Lin Yi didn't want to drag things out. The important thing was to return to Time City to find a way to reactivate the Dimensional Gem, retrieve the dial, and recover the memories.

Lin Yi took the lead and walked towards the door, but suddenly realized that Tony seemed to have been silent and motionless for a long time.

"Huh? Tony?" Lin Yi stopped by the door, puzzled, and looked at Tony.

Tony stared blankly, like a puppet...

Lin Yi followed his gaze and saw a small, somewhat timid child peeking out from behind the old man.

With this kid's personality, how did he dare to come all this way alone...?

Off topic.

"Tony, what's going on? What are you looking at?" Lin Yi frowned and waved his hand in front of Tony.

"..."

"What? I didn't hear you." Lin Yi didn't know what Tony was up to again, and too lazy to use his super hearing, he leaned closer and finally heard Tony muttering a word.

"Morgan..."

"Morgan?" Lin Yi gasped in surprise.

He glanced at the child, then at Tony's serious expression.

"No, what's wrong with you? Have you gone mad? Are you randomly claiming someone as your daughter?"

This skinny child, with his dry, yellow hair and frail appearance, what about him did he match Morgan in any way, except for his gender?

"It's Morgan, she's Morgan!" Tony finally snapped out of his daze, pointing at the child with unwavering certainty, his gaze somewhat frightening to Lin Yi.

"no……"

Lin Yi's gaze darted back and forth between the two people, one big and one small, several times.

Tony's confidence is making him insecure.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sense it for a moment, then sighed and patted Tony on the shoulder.

Well, Tony must be delusional. This kid is just an ordinary kid, how could he possibly think it's Morgan's?
