Marvel's Death Merchant

“Yes, I know your abilities too. You’re no less capable than Wesker or Zero.” Tang Tian nodded, indicating that Victor’s abilities were formidable.

"Why do you want to join the Watchers? Give me a reason," Tang Tian continued to say to Victor.

“Because I want to fight the strong, I believe in my strength,” Victor said to Tang Tian without hesitation.

"Well, I can give you a chance. That way you can get what you want," Tang Tian said calmly, glancing at Victor.

"What opportunity? I also want to test my abilities." Victor picked up the special metal mask that Tang Tian had found and put it on. The green cloak made Victor look mysterious.

“You come with me to Tokyo, find a guy named Matt Addison, and kill him. I’ll give you his information,” Tang Tian said to Victor, who had become Doctor Doom.

“No problem, it’s no problem at all,” Victor said nonchalantly.

Tang Tian actually knew something had changed when Wesker reported that Matt was not dead. After investigating, Tang Tian discovered that Matt was actually using his enemy Zhang Zhongyi, so he planned to have Doctor Doom kill the not-yet-powerful Zhang Zhongyi.

Jie Liang had already been killed by Tang Tian, ​​since he was the only transmigrator. Tang Tian also carefully observed this world using the Skynet and discovered that these people were able to transmigrate because of him. To be precise, it was because of the power of the main god's artifact that the karma Zhang Min had once been involved with had followed him into the Marvel Universe.

"Zhang Zhongyi, you were killed by Zhang Min once, I won't let you stay in this universe any longer," Tang Tian thought to himself as he watched Doctor Doom leave.

The reason Doctor Doom actually wanted to become his subordinate was because Tang Tian and Victor had fought before. Victor was instantly defeated by the black flames and gravity powers created by Tang Tian's Veronica Virus, which is why Tang Tian was willing to let Doctor Doom become his subordinate.

Chapter 205 The Punisher

“Frank Castle, former Marine. Perhaps I should call you Punisher now, that’s your current codename,” Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., said to Punisher, who was wearing a black combat suit with a skull and crossbones symbol, standing beside him.

"You should know I'm a loner. And those superheroes don't like me. Captain America rejected my application to join S.H.I.E.L.D. because I killed a criminal who had already surrendered," Punisher Frank said through gritted teeth to Nick Fury.

After Captain America awoke, the Punisher joined him on missions. However, their relationship ended badly. Besides being disliked by Captain America and some official superheroes, the Punisher was also rejected by heroes like Daredevil and the Green Hornet, making him unpopular in the superhero world.

“Well, Frank. I think you can consider the mission.” Nick Fury said to him with satisfaction after seeing the Punisher’s expression.

"What mission? Tell me what I need to do and what I can get in return." The Punisher had accepted missions more than once or twice, so he spoke casually to Nick Fury.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. hires you to investigate the mysterious outbreak in the Arklay Mountains of Tokyo. Your reward upon completion is the opportunity to join S.H.I.E.L.D. Your most important task is to investigate the connection between the Umbrella Corporation and this outbreak." Nick Fury presented the Punisher with the conditions he most desired, indicating his confidence in the mission.

"Deal. Remember what you said." The Punisher said this and left to prepare for his mission.

S.H.I.E.L.D. sends the Punisher to Tokyo to investigate, while Tang Tian and Doctor Doom are tasked with eliminating Zhang Zhongyi. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the T-virus outbreak was so sudden that many still didn't believe in the existence of zombies. The infection in Raccoon City hadn't fully begun, but the nearby experimental city of Greater Milwaukee had already been infected by the new virus, and there was no hope of recovery.

Greater Milwaukee, a small island off the coast of Raccoon City with a population of nearly 20,000, is home to approximately 20,000 immigrants. American immigrants comprise about 10%, with the remainder being native residents. Unbeknownst to many, this is actually where the Umbrella Corporation is conducting secret experiments on a new virus—the virus obtained in The Road to Survival and Dying Light.

After arriving in Tokyo, the Punisher stayed at a hotel in the Greater Milwaukee area, about five kilometers outside Raccoon City. He decided to explore the surrounding area first, and then go there to investigate later, since the Punisher himself had only just arrived and didn't know much.

Tang Tian's actions, stemming from his travels through biohazard movies and games, have created a causal link that influences the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tang Tian never imagined that the small island he created out of his mischievous nature, combined with the viruses from the two games, would cause the movie "Dawn of the Dead" to reappear in the Marvel universe.

Although the T-virus hasn't completely swept the world yet, it's believed that Tokyo will soon become a zombie apocalypse, with very few superheroes or humans remaining.

It's possible that two dangerous viruses from the game fused and mutated to create a stable form, which is why this place experienced an outbreak. The infected zombies have a keen sense of smell, can detect the scent of living people, and retain some human memories. Although not as powerful as the original two viruses, this weakened virus is still no less potent than the T-virus.

The Greater Milwaukee Central Hospital is one of the best hospitals outside of Tokyo City Hospital. Anna was a young nurse at this hospital. After immigrating to Tokyo, Anna married a soldier in his thirties who had a daughter.

Around 6 a.m. this morning, Anna vaguely heard her beloved daughter banging on her bedroom door. Her husband woke up and opened the door, and then Anna watched in disbelief as her most cherished daughter bit her husband's neck hard.

Then, Anna pushed her crazed daughter out the door. Unfortunately, shortly after she helplessly watched her husband bleed to death, her husband stood up and turned into a legendary zombie, biting her.

Anna was probably unlucky. Although she escaped her husband's pursuit, she was in a car accident and lost consciousness. Fortunately, when she woke up, she met a black policeman with a rifle. The two traveled together and soon encountered four more survivors.

Of the four survivors, one was a white man wielding an iron bar, one was a black man wielding a handgun, one was the black man's white wife, and the last was the Punisher, who carried many firearms.

And so, the group walked together toward the mall.

"boom……"

The Punisher took the lead, using his sniper rifle to break the lock with a single shot and lead the group inside. He then pulled the two finger-thick metal latches on the door. This door was meant to be pulled from the outside, and given the zombies' limited intelligence, they clearly hadn't yet learned how to open it, so the rest of the group was temporarily safe.

Once inside the mall, Anna and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Punisher also breathed a sigh of relief, as he couldn't possibly handle so many zombies outside. He hadn't expected to be so unlucky; before he could even investigate the mission, a new danger had arisen—he was incredibly unlucky.

Furthermore, the largest department store on the island is not yet open for business; its main entrance and side doors are tightly closed, so it's safe for now. The Punisher is also quite helpless, as the mission has to be put aside for now.

"My name is Anna, and I'm a nurse," Anna introduced herself once she felt safe.

“My name is Michael, and I’m a TV salesman,” Michael said.

“My name is Andrei, and this is my wife Ruta,” the black man introduced, pointing to his wife.

"Kenneth." The black policeman's introduction was simple, because anyone who saw his uniform knew he was a policeman.

“Frank,” the Punisher said calmly.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the first floor. The first floor of the mall was filled with clothing, cosmetics, food, toys, and other items. Because the virus outbreak was so sudden, the mall was not open, so it looked very neat and clean.

The second floor mainly sells sporting goods and home appliances, but everyone plans to stay in the kitchen and bedroom sales area on the third floor. There are too many connecting places between the first and second floors, making it easy for zombies to find them. Relatively speaking, the third floor, which can only be accessed via elevator and corridor, is safer.

Before that, Punisher and Michael were responsible for searching and clearing out the zombies on the first and second floors, while Andre and the others checked all the doors and exits of the mall to make sure they were safe. After doing all that, the group headed to the third floor.

The group then took the elevator. Because of their fear of encountering zombies, the Punisher's gun was fully loaded with bullets. He could usually get weapon supplies from S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopters, but unfortunately, that was no longer an option.

"Ding……"

The elevator doors slowly opened, and at that moment, two of the three security guards outside the elevator, who were already prepared, were holding two black handguns, pointing them at the Punisher and his group inside the elevator. Even after seeing the group, they did not put down their guns, clearly indicating that they did not welcome these uninvited guests.

However, to the security captain's dismay, the Punisher possessed an assault rifle, several times more powerful than their own, and it seemed the Punisher was not a good person.

However, one of the three security guards, a bearded man in his forties, still threatened, "Go somewhere else, this is ours."

The other two security guards, both under thirty, nodded, clearly agreeing with what he said.

“Hey! We just need a place to rest,” the Punisher said coldly. The Punisher was never one to be threatened.

“I’ll say it again, you have to leave here,” the bearded man continued to threaten.

The Punisher merely glanced at him disdainfully before instantly subduing the security captain. The remaining two security guards then surrendered, avoiding imprisonment. (To be continued...)

Chapter 206 Dawn of the Living Dead

The mutated virus has just spread to the Greater Milwaukee area. Currently, because it is an island, the infection cannot spread rapidly. Most importantly, the virus in the experimental area does not spread through the air like in Left 4 Dead, so it has not formed another zombie universe.

The Punisher was indeed very shrewd; after gaining control of the department store, he distributed power to others. The Punisher also knew there was nothing he could do now, so he could only stay with these people and try to find a way out.

However, just as the Punisher was contemplating leaving, a car suddenly appeared in front of the department store. Zombies roaming the plaza charged towards the car, only to be instantly reduced to ashes by eerie lightning flashes from within. Simultaneously, a large truck careened in from another direction.

After Anna spotted the truck and car, and with the Punisher's permission, she went to the side entrance on the roof. Anna and Ruta, holding large posters, directed the truck to park at the side entrance. Doctor Doom also arrived at this location. Tang Tian, ​​however, had received a message from Stark informing him of Bruce Banner's exposure to the gamma-ray bomb, so he did not come here.

Just then, the side door opened, and Andrei and Michael rushed out, blowing the heads off several zombies that followed them. They found the driver's seat of the truck empty. Looking up, they saw the old woman Norma and Father Glenn had climbed onto the truck and were trying to climb up using the lift Anna had lowered. However, Norma said there were still six people inside the truck, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Andrei and Michael couldn't possibly withstand so many zombies, and Doctor Doom nonchalantly unleashed lightning, successfully rescuing them.

Doctor Doom leisurely climbed out of the car. The Punisher was slightly taken aback when he saw Doctor Doom; he never expected that Victor, who had gained superpowers like the Fantastic Four, would be here. Although Victor's appearance was slightly different from before, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files had allowed the Punisher to learn about Victor's background.

People got off the large truck. Three of them carried a bloated old woman, and one supported an elderly man with an injured leg. They quickly squeezed through the side door, and Victor followed them in.

"These zombies are a real problem. Although their attack power is weak, there are so many of them. Ordinary people can't handle them," Doctor Doom pondered, considering the zombies' attack capabilities. His expression was hidden behind his special metal mask, preventing the approaching Punisher from seeing his face.

However, the Punisher also knew that now was not the time to talk. The Punisher knew that Victor had the ability to control zombies, given how easily he had gotten here.

Next, the newly arrived Doctor Doom and his group followed Anna to the mall lobby. Andrei found a forklift and gently placed the injured, bloated old woman inside, pushing her along. Victor walked discreetly at the back, saying nothing upon seeing the Punisher. Victor knew the Punisher didn't possess superhuman strength like him, so he didn't care about the Punisher, because Doctor Doom wasn't a villain anymore.

The survivors from the truck, along with Doctor Doom, came to the hall to begin their conversation.

"Hello, sir. Thank you for your ability to save everyone's lives. Are you a superhero? Your abilities are amazing; those zombies were no match for you." Michael looked at Victor, who was wearing a metal mask, and spoke to him enthusiastically.

“Yes, that’s me. You can call me Doctor Destruction,” Victor agreed with Michael and said to him.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Doom. My name is Anna. Things are a bit bad right now, so let’s be careful. This is an island that Umbrella Corporation bought. I believe this company will come looking for someone to save the citizens.” Anna smiled happily when she heard Dr. Doom acknowledge her as a superhero and handed him the cookies and bottled water she was holding.

Victor accepted the food without saying a word. The Punisher, seeing Doctor Doom's demeanor, knew that he had come from New York either to investigate or to eliminate certain individuals; mounting evidence pointed to Victor's connections to the Umbrella Corporation.

"So, Dr. Doom, what is your purpose in coming here? With your abilities, you are not afraid of these zombies," the Punisher said meaningfully, looking at Victor.

“Of course, I don’t need to tell you that,” Victor said indifferently, without even glancing at the Punisher.

Victor's original plan was to go directly to Tokyo, but an unexpected event occurred along the way. Because of a virus leak at Umbrella's experimental island, Tang Tian asked Victor to come here first to investigate.

While the Punisher and Doctor Doom were talking, another dramatic scene unfolded: the old woman Anna saw in the emergency room had stopped breathing, and Anna covered him with a black blanket.

Anna and the islanders, of course, didn't know how the virus spread, and therefore, they didn't know that the bitten old woman would turn into a zombie. Victor, upon arriving here, also learned how the virus spread from Tang Tian, ​​but he didn't tell these people or the Punishers, since this was caused by an accidental leak from the Umbrella Corporation.

Like an old woman in a movie, she slowly sat up, and Nicole, who was the first to notice, already looked a little unnatural.

"Oh, damn it!" Terry, who was closest, immediately reacted, yelled, and stepped aside.

At this moment, the black blanket covering the old woman fell away, revealing her mutated and terrifying appearance. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, and her yellow and lifeless pupils gave people a terrifying feeling.

"Wah wah." The old woman, now a zombie, fixed her gaze on Anna, suddenly leaping up from the sofa and charging at her with speed almost indistinguishable from that of an infected in Left 4 Dead. Fortunately, Anna reacted quickly, grabbing a black metal rod from the side and stabbing it at the charging zombie.

The bullet pierced the zombie's skull, and Anna, thrown to the ground by the powerful impact. Upon hearing the sound, the Punisher stopped communicating with Victor and rushed over.

"Fuck." Anna cursed on the ground, stood up, looked at the zombie to make sure it was dead, and then relaxed. Then the Punisher and the others came over and wrapped up the body to dispose of it.

Through this experience, Anna realized that the zombie outbreak was caused by bites, deducing that the virus spreads through biting. The Punisher also believed this hypothesis was correct. Originally, after discovering the zombies, the Punisher was preparing to report to S.H.I.E.L.D., but all communications on the island were blocked. Upon hearing Anna's thoughts, Victor's gaze turned icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Because Victor was now Tang Tian's subordinate, he would find an opportunity to make her disappear.

In the following time, the Punisher personally killed Nicole's father, who was on the verge of becoming a zombie. Meanwhile, Kenneth and Andy, the owner of the gun shop across the street, developed a friendship through posters and playing chess with binoculars.

The Punisher and Doctor Doom are also competing to see who kills more zombies, and haven't started fighting each other yet. Anna has also graffitied the hallways and cars. Tucker's leg injury is gradually healing, and he even tried on high heels when no one was around; the security guard Terry and the troublemaker Nicole have also developed a good friendship. In Raccoon City, James Marcus and Red Skull attacked Dr. William's G-virus lab, and the biohazard outbreak simultaneously occurred on a large scale in two locations in the same area.

Chapter 207 Escape Preparations

"It seems these ignorant people don't realize they're destined not to leave this safe place alive." Victor sneered as he watched these survivors modifying their vehicles, preparing to leave alive.

“I find your gaze extremely repulsive,” the Punisher said to Victor, whose eyes remained icy.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Victor shook his head and said coldly to the Punisher.

Victor is temporarily trapped here; after all, the 20,000 zombies outside are no joke. Even with Victor's powerful superpowers, dealing with all these zombies at once would result in heavy losses. Therefore, Victor plans to use these people to escape the island, then eliminate the survivors who know what's going on here. Victor is confident he can handle these ordinary people. Besides, Victor isn't one to repay kindness; otherwise, he wouldn't have caused trouble for the Fantastic Four in Fantastic Four 2.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the escape from here finally entered its final preparation stage. Victor also absorbed all the nearby electricity that night, instantly increasing his strength fivefold. The Punisher also prepared to go to the nearby weapons shop to retrieve weapons, in preparation for leaving the island.

Kennedy also became good friends with the owner of the weapons shop. Unfortunately, Andy ran out of food because the weapons shop had no food, and he was about to starve to the point of exhaustion. Anna and the others had prepared supplies for a week and were almost finished, so they began to discuss their final departure.

In the lobby of the department store, the remaining survivors gathered to discuss their situation. Just like in the movies, those who survived were considered lucky, having not died in the civil war.

The Punisher looked at the disunited survivors, shook his head helplessly, and said to everyone, "Everyone knows that there are more and more zombies outside, and if this continues, they will come. So now I hope everyone can tell me whether they want to leave this place."

After the Punisher finished speaking, Victor said calmly, "I agree to leave here. The military needs to know about the zombie problem." After Victor finished speaking, the Punisher looked at him with some surprise, not understanding why Victor had something to do with wanting to leave. The Punisher also didn't believe Victor's nonsense about wanting to report the zombie problem.

“I agree to leave here too. I don’t want to die,” Anna said firmly, looking up at everyone.

“Alright, since everyone wants to leave, perhaps we can find the security captain here and ask about the possibility of leaving. While we're at it, let's also try to rescue the weapons shop owner; he's almost out of food.” The Punisher continued, addressing the group.

The food delivery person hasn't been chosen yet, because the puppy hasn't appeared. After all, in the movie, Nicole's pet dog delivered the food, and Andy hasn't said he needs food, so the plan is temporarily on hold. If it were the original storyline, the Punisher and Doctor Doom wouldn't object, and everyone would approve the adventure plan.

That evening, following the directions of security captain CJ, they discovered a generator in the underground parking lot, and Michael and the others were discussing who to send to repair it.
