Chapter 425 Deja vu
After freezing the entire city of New York, in addition to establishing a temporary control area on the floor of Stark Tower, Joey arranged for the remaining Spider Lanterns to be deployed to two other locations.
One is a secret underground base, which is crucial, housing clones of Professor X, the entire X-Men, and some members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
The other is Spider-Man and the Green Lantern Corps' own base, where, in addition to the members of S.H.I.E.L.D., the extremely dangerous Wanda and Quicksilver, the two Maximoff twins, as well as a pair of Kryptonians, are imprisoned.
Honestly, the more Joey thought about it, the more of a headache he got. Why were there so many ticking time bombs around him?
The feeling right now is no less relaxing than it was in the Flashpoint universe!
"What exactly happened?"
The Human Torch was still baffled. Looking at the brightly lit New York cityscape beneath the ice, he couldn't help but worry, even momentarily switching to his flame form: "We need to thaw them quickly! Get moving! Otherwise, they'll freeze to death!"
This was also a concern for the other people present.
Captain America stepped forward directly, pointing the finger at Joey: "Did you do this, Superman? You have to give us an explanation!"
"Don't worry, other people in New York City may die, but they won't freeze to death."
It was only then that Joey realized that when you put the Human Torch and Captain America side by side, they really do look quite similar.
"Gentlemen, calm down!" At this critical moment, Tony stepped forward to speak up: "The virus from the zombie Sentinels has leaked. We are now facing annihilation. We must unite to overcome this crisis!"
These two people who share the same face are commendable in spirit, but they've misplaced it.
"I did the freezing, but it won't cause them any harm in the short term."
Joey acted swiftly and spoke his mind: "But this is only a temporary measure. If it drags on, the whole of New York will be finished!"
This time, Joey's Frozen Breath was purely for restriction; it didn't generate pure, extremely cold ice, but rather a special water-like form mixed with Kryptonian biofield.
The advantage is that it doesn't have extremely low temperatures, so it won't kill ordinary people inside the ice instantly, but the disadvantage is also the same.
The core principle behind why frozen food is less likely to spoil is that low temperatures hinder the movement between particles, including the spread and replication of bacteria and viruses. Joey's frozen food clearly does not possess this characteristic.
He could only restrict everyone's movements to the greatest extent possible; he couldn't stop the proliferation of the virus in people already infected by the viral aerosol.
Joey's primary goal in freezing the virus was still to slow its spread, at least to prevent it from spreading through biting, so that no one would lose an arm or a leg before he found a solution.
After Joey's explanation, Captain America and his crew quickly grasped the situation, only to feel a sudden jolt of breath and a chill run down their spines.
Dealing with a group of mindless zombies that only bite is easy, but the zombified Hydra is a bit of a headache.
Because you have no idea what kind of despicable methods these Nazi bastards, who aren't even human, will use, like poisoning the entire city of New York right now. Only beasts would do something like that.
"It was indeed our mistake. After dealing with the zombie sentinel, no one knew there was a bunch of infected corpses underground."
Reed's brilliant mind raced, but all that came out were incorrect memories: "I can't believe we haven't done anything in the last few hours!"
The earth-shattering battle between Superman and the Sentry captivated everyone's attention, especially after Superman was injured—
After the injury —
Reed discovered that his memories were starting to become disjointed.
After Superman was injured, he spent several hours alone with Susan.
Even if he and Susan had just gone through a life-or-death separation, it wouldn't be enough for him to completely ignore Superman and not even offer basic concern or greetings, would it?
That's the truth. For the past few hours, there was nothing about Superman in his memory, as if Superman had temporarily disappeared from his memory while he was unconscious.
Reed wasn't one to keep secrets, and sensing something was wrong, he was about to speak when Batman cut him off with a question about Superman: "How many infected are there? How long until they appear—you know, things change."
Joey scanned and verified again, and frowned upon receiving the results: "There are a lot of them, it's hard to count them accurately. Just what I can see is close to 7%. As for when they will turn into zombies, I don't know."
Conservative estimates suggest that the virus-carrying aerosol began to spread rapidly within the past one or two hours.
At this time, the number of people in the city carrying the virus has reached a terrifying level. As for the concentration of the virus in the human body that will lead to the transformation into zombies, it is currently unknown.
What's more troublesome is that this virus is not something that can be simply defined as a "virus" in a biological sense. Under Joey's super vision scan, they are even flickering in a way that is sometimes present and sometimes absent.
This greatly hindered his ability to locate virus carriers over such a large area.
Batman easily conjured a bunch of experimental equipment with his Green Lantern ring: "Then we need to hurry up and research a cure for the virus."
"Yes, the antidote." Tony echoed Batman's words, then dropped a bombshell: "Perhaps we can find some inspiration from someone infected with the virus and who survived?"
'
"Upon hearing this, Batman remained silent and exchanged a silent glance with Tony."
Their eyes met, and they both understood one thing—he knew.
"Ha," Tony chuckled, changing the subject, "I was talking about that guy who almost smoked himself to death in my staff break room!"
This is another flaw in Batman's plan: the Sentinel is still alive.
From the perspective of Doctor Doom, who is hidden within Tony, and considering the diverse possibilities, the Sentinels may not necessarily be affected by the Mind Stone erasing their memories.
Even at this point, Tony is determined to ignite this fire on Batman!
"It's no use, I've already seen him." Reed unexpectedly came to Batman's rescue: "Bob is already out of his mind from smoking too much marijuana, and besides, the Sentinel's method is definitely not applicable to ordinary humans."
The Sentinel is essentially someone who, after switching to a nihilistic personality, completely cuts off the infected Sentinel side.
According to Superman, most people in New York City are infected with the virus around their respiratory tract, and Reed doesn't believe that ordinary people can survive if their respiratory system is removed.
Moreover, there are those with even more severe infections; you can't just amputate everything below the neck, can you?
"Our primary goal is to collect virus samples, build analytical models, and then find a cure."
Dr. Banner, bursting with energy, stood up without a word, habitually grabbing a notebook and patting it: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get moving!"
But as he looked down and flipped through his notebook, a vague memory inexplicably welled up in his mind.
Hulk can't read!
Dr. Banner, now possessing two souls in one body, steadied himself. At this moment, the image of the notebook in his hand became increasingly familiar, as if he had seen it before, just like Dejavu.
Has he already done research on zombie viruses once?
