Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

"Hurry!"

John and his men, who were retreating, nearly ran into oncoming archers at the corner.

Katie raised her longbow, the arrowhead pointing directly at John Walker, who was preparing to launch his shield. The moment she saw his face, she abruptly released the bowstring and let out a long sigh of relief.

John carefully counted everyone's injuries and was relieved to see that they all had only minor wounds—he really didn't want any of his teammates to fall behind.

"Black Widow and her team have already set up a defensive line in the underground parking garage, where there are plenty of vehicles that can allow us to evacuate."

I've set a self-destruct program on the base; we only have 30 minutes!

The Iron Lady spoke rapidly, her voice carrying an undeniable urgency.

"Huh? I don't understand why they would set up a self-destruct mechanism underground?"

Kamala couldn't help but complain as she ran with the group towards the underground parking garage.

"There's nothing we can do about it; it's something the base brought with it, probably to prevent classified documents from being leaked."

The Iron Lady answered without turning her head.

"Wow, that's so spy-like. Hey, Lily, what are you doing?"

Kamala noticed that Lily, the Black woman, was fiddling with her backpack and asked curiously.

"Get us two shields. Start the program on Friday," Lily said with confidence.

"Received!" came the electronic voice reply from the backpack.

Katie and Kamala, the two best friends, stared wide-eyed as the red backpack on Lily's back unfolded and transformed in a bizarre way, eventually turning into an oversized suit of steel armor that enveloped Lily completely!

At the same time, several large iron gates that they had run past slammed down, shutting out the faint roars of zombies coming from behind.

"Yay! That's awesome!"

Kamala and Katie gave each other a high five, and were about to share their joy with Lily when they saw their best friend already leaning back leisurely in the mech's cockpit, looking relaxed and carefree.

"I'm starting to dislike you. Why do we have to run while you can fly?" Kamala shouted, feigning anger.

"There's nothing I can do; what can I do when I'm smarter than you guys?"

Lily laughed and retorted, her few jokes adding a touch of joy to the tense escape journey, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"That was satisfying! Hit and run!"

The Moon Knight, who was running at the front, suddenly stopped and spread his arms to block everyone behind him.

John reacted swiftly, immediately using his shield to stop Yelena and the Red Guards who were about to crash into him from behind, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"There's something ahead." Moon Knight's voice was low, his eyes sharp as knives.

The red guard poked his head out in confusion. The area in front of him was empty and eerily quiet: "Are you...?"

"Boom—!"

Before he finished speaking, a surging golden beam of light slashed down from above, like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, and landed in the passage directly in front of him!

The seemingly indestructible steel and concrete were instantly burned into powder, and after the light faded, large areas of crystals formed on the ground.

At the critical moment, Kamala moved swiftly, raising a crystal shield in front of everyone; at the same time, Hanlu also released her mental power, weaving an invisible barrier in front of her.

"Oh dear, here comes the most troublesome part."

John gripped his shield tightly, his gaze fixed intently on the figure stepping out from the light—the zombie Captain Marvel!

"Roar—!" Captain Marvel, the zombie, let out a deafening roar, golden energy surging around her, carrying an aura of world destruction.

"Where did Icarus go?"

John couldn't help but curse. The three of them hadn't been able to gain any advantage even when they teamed up before, and now the last thing he wanted to run into was this monster.

"boom!!"

A loud bang came from the lower level of the base. Okoye looked at Icarus, who was surrounded by countless zombies, and frowned.

Ever since this guy was slammed to the ground by Captain Marvel, countless zombies have kept him firmly trapped on the ground, and no matter how much he struggles, he cannot break free, which is why they have lost their strongest fighter.

"None of you will escape!"

Okoye watched silently as Icarus was dragged back into the abyss by hordes of zombies every time he was about to break free.

Inside the base's passageway, John Walker felt a chill run down his spine.

Previously, he and Icarus teamed up to punch and kick the zombie Captain Marvel, but they couldn't cause any real damage. Now, the only one in the team who can stand up to him head-on is probably himself.

"I'll hold her off, you guys go first," John said in a deep voice.

"The Red Guards never abandon their comrades!"

Alexei, wearing a red shirt, stood beside John. The Slavic warrior's eyes were as firm as iron. "Any act of abandoning one's comrades is shameful."

"Blade, catch!" Hanlu suddenly shouted.

As if sensing something, Moonlight Blade reached back and grabbed two hard objects, which fell into its palm.

He looked down and saw two simple octagonal stones, each engraved with patterns of a rabbit and a green snake.

"This is……"

As he was wondering, two strange energies surged into his body, his mind suddenly cleared, and he instantly understood how to use this thing.

"Thanks."

"We can thank her later. Please see everyone out first. John and I will hold her off!" Hanlu urged.

"No! I already told you..."

Before the Red Guardian could finish speaking, everything around them suddenly froze—the roars of the zombies, the hum of energy, and everyone's breathing all solidified at that moment.

Moon Knight sensed the eerie stillness and immediately stepped forward, grabbing the arms of the Iron Lady and the Red Guard.

In this space independent of conventional dimensions, their bodies seemed to lose weight, and he carried them through it with ease, without encountering any resistance.

"The Red Guards would never... Wait, where are we?"

Alexei snapped out of his daze, looking blankly at the parked motorcycles and vehicles around him, as well as the Black Widows who had already set up their shelter.

The Iron Lady was equally bewildered. Before the two of them could even sort out their thoughts, Kamala, Katie, Lily the Black man, lawyer Matt, and Yelena appeared one after another.

"Uh, what happened?" Lily's mecha helmet popped open, revealing a confused face.

"You all go quickly, I'll go and bring John and Hanlu out."

Moon Knight's white cloak moved without wind, rippling behind him, and the invisible pressure made him seem like a god walking among mortals.

The next second, he disappeared from everyone's sight, and when he reappeared, he was back in the passage.

At that moment, Captain Marvel was charging forward, John had just raised his shield, and Hanlu gave him a thumbs up.

Captain Marvel, now in overclocked mode, was utterly enraged. Although she had lost her intelligence, she could clearly sense that her prey was dwindling, and golden energy surged forth once more.

But for the Moon Knight, who had already arrived at John and Hanlu's side, everything was as slow as a standstill!

He grabbed their arms and teleported them instantly before the energy shockwave reduced the walls to ashes.

Captain Marvel, now a zombie, stared at the empty battlefield and let out an even more furious roar—

She was disappointed again!

In the underground parking garage, the vehicles were already ready. The train slowly started moving, and several Black Widows rode motorcycles, carrying Uzi submachine guns, to clear the way.

As the world's largest intelligence organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always had an astonishing stockpile of supplies, especially since this place is a secure base secretly built by a certain director, complete with weapons and vehicles.

Kamala and Red Guard, who were still worried, suddenly saw two more figures in the passenger seat.

"Great, man, you're back!"

The Red Guard's arm, as thick as a polar bear's, patted John's shoulder with such force that John winced, but he understood that this was the bold man's way of expressing concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" John replied with a smile.

Moon Knight stood on the roof of a jeep, his feet seemingly extending from steel wires and firmly fixed to the vehicle's crossbeams.

His gaze passed over the layers of concrete walls and landed on the golden monster that was charging wildly toward him from behind.

"She's angry."

Hanlu shouted to Lily, the Black woman next to her, "Go full speed ahead!"

"Don't worry, there are still people who are seething with anger!"

Just as Lily finished speaking, a loud bang came from behind!

Just as Captain Marvel crashed through two steel walls, a blue beam of light descended from the sky, slamming her back to the ground in the same pathetic way she had when she first landed.

"We haven't settled our score yet, you bitch!"

It's Icarus! He finally broke free and returned to the group, slaughtering zombies along the way.

As an inorganic life form, he is virtually invincible as long as he doesn't face that female demon; the zombie virus simply cannot infect him!

At this moment, he was venting his anger on Captain Marvel, throwing punches from the left and right, pouring out all his pent-up frustration.

The last pursuers were left behind, and the convoy sped away from the base. In 30 minutes, the base behind them would be turned into a sea of ​​fire, burying those disgusting monsters!
