Chapter 182 - The Walking Dead (2 in 1)

Facing the menacing Johnny Human Torch, Peter tried his best, but was ultimately powerless.

In order to protect the people around him, he was hit by Thunderbolt's fire bomb on the spot and fell directly to the ground from a high altitude.

In a trance, Peter seemed to have hallucinations, as if there was a vague voice shouting into his ears.

…

"Peter, Peter, wake up, we have to go!"

Peter was shaken by the owner of the voice and suddenly woke up and opened his hazy eyes.

It turned out that everything that had just happened was just a nightmare for him.

Or rather, it is more like a memory, a memory of the end of the world a few years ago.

Today's America has long been devoured by zombie heroes and has become a paradise for zombie heroes.

The few survivors could only hide everywhere, scavenge for supplies, huddle together for warmth, and survive.

The former superhero Spider-Man has now changed his appearance and downgraded his status to a super dad.

With Valeria and Franklin, the Richards' two children, they embarked on a journey of survival.

Accompanying him are the companions he made along the way, Moonstone, Chewie, the Devourer, and the mutant Forge.

In addition, there is a huge sentinel robot.

The robot was originally a weapon used to hunt mutants, but Peter rewrote its program to become a nanny robot for his two children.

Not only that, he also gave the nanny robot a unique name, calling it "Nana".

Most members were delighted with the new member.

Because of Nana's strong fighting ability, she can protect the safety of team members to a great extent.

Some people have expressed concerns about this.

"How long are we going to keep it around? I don't like having that cold piece of iron next to me. It makes me feel insecure."

Valeria doesn't trust Nana.

It should be said that she doesn't trust technology.

It's not her fault that she's old-fashioned.

Who made her have a father who loves to commit suicide?

Mr. Magic, who loves inventions and creations, often creates some strange and bizarre scientific creations under the banner of the development of all mankind.

Valeria didn't know whether humanity as a whole had made any progress.

But it is an indisputable fact that those scientific creations almost destroyed the world several times.

Having learned many painful lessons, Valeria has an extreme aversion to cutting-edge technology.

Of course, she doesn't simply hate all technological items.

She still recognizes those tools that can make human life more convenient.

But those highly intelligent robots became her target.

Especially the existence of a robot like the Sentinel that almost destroyed the world made her feel even more uncomfortable. She made suggestions several times, hoping to eliminate this bomb that could explode at any time in advance.

"Don't be like this, Valeria. Without Nana's protection, we would have become food for those zombies long ago."

Franklin was very dissatisfied with his sister's attitude and said unhappily:

"Also, don't always call her 'Iron Lump'. Nana has her own name."

Valeria rolled her eyes and said sarcastically:

"Oh my goodness, my dear brother, how many times do I have to remind you that our terrible killing machine slave is just a robot!"

Yes, Spider-Man modified Nana's program, turning the former mutant killer into a babysitter.

But who can guarantee that Nana's program will remain stable?

Don’t let that happen, before they are killed by the zombie heroes, they are killed in their sleep by the disordered Nana.

If that were to happen, it would be a lot of fun.

Franklin knew what his sister was thinking, but he just thought she was worrying too much.

Moreover, somehow, he had a feeling of closeness to Nana.

It was this feeling that made him regard Nana as his own, and think that she was a real companion who had feelings just like them.

Therefore, Franklin was very unhappy with Valeria's sarcasm today, and said accusingly:

"How can you say that? Nana will hear it and she will be hurt."

"Blah blah blah, she's going to get hurt..."

Valeria made a face and repeated her brother's words.

"I'm not going to consider that thing a family member just to make my stupid little brother think everything can go back to normal."

She said this because before the apocalypse, the siblings also had a nanny named "Helby".

Therefore, Valeria believes that her brother's insistence on treating Nana as a family member is nothing more than being immersed in fantasies of the past and unwilling to face the cruel and cold real world.

Valeria certainly missed the good old days.

But she understood that after experiencing that catastrophe, those good days would never come back.

Facing reality, overcoming difficulties and finding ways to save the world, this is what people like them should do and it is also the greatest mission they bear.

However, Franklin did not listen to her advice at all. Instead, he jumped up and down excitedly and said:

"I'm not stupid. Also, you are not allowed to call me 'little' brother. I was born before you!"

Because of the word "small", Franklin became anxious.

He is not an unreasonable person.

The key is that Valeria is so irritating and she has to pick on his sore spots.

Several years have passed since that doomsday catastrophe.

But he still didn't grow a centimeter taller.

Although sometimes, boys develop later.

But he developed too late, he was a head shorter than his sister, and his temperament was not as mature as hers.

It's as if Valeria is the older sister.

If this isn’t the reversal of Tiangang, what is it?

In fact, this is not Franklin's biggest pain.

There was one more thing that had always been bothering him.

As the child of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, Franklin is a natural-born Omega-level mutant.

Time and space are in his hands, just like toy blocks, which he can manipulate at will.

Modifying reality and creating your own pocket universe is also easy and can be done at will.

But such a powerful mutant has now lost his superpowers.

Even after many years, his body had not changed at all, and neither had his appearance.

It still looks the same as it did when the end of the world came.

Franklin was deeply depressed about this.

Before, he had asked Peter questions several times, wanting to know what had happened that year.

And Peter’s response never changed.

There is nothing but silence.

This made Franklin more depressed, and his personality inevitably became somewhat extreme, and he began to tend towards extremism.

Smart Valeria noticed her brother's abnormality and took good care of him on a daily basis.

But human patience has its limits.

She had no choice and it was impossible for her to compromise in everything.

Quarrels happen from time to time.

Just like now.

"Franklin, I know you are very unhappy, but I want to tell you that it is not my fault that your superpowers disappeared, nor is it Uncle Parker and the others' fault, so don't always lose your temper with your family and friends!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice inevitably became louder.

Walking at the front of the team, Peter heard the quarrel between the magical twins and suffered a headache again. He covered his head and said uncomfortably:

"Okay, you two stop arguing, my head is going to explode!"

Raising a child is such a torture.

Peter no longer even thought about having children.

It should be said that even if he wanted to, he probably couldn't do it.

A previous accident caused him to lose Mary Jane forever.

The departure of the beloved, the unprecedented pressure of survival, the heavy burden of taking care of the children...

All these difficulties combined were like a huge rock pressing down on him, causing him great mental stress and physical and mental exhaustion.

So much so that ever since the doomsday catastrophe, his spider sense has been ringing like his roommate's alarm clock, all the time.

Even when he was resting, he couldn't get any rest and was still disturbed by the spider sense.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this moment, the spider sense kicked in again, even stronger than before.

Not only that, but there were also strange noises coming from the surrounding woods, and large swaths of bushes rubbing against each other.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Peter suppressed the pain and sounded the alarm.

Moonstone gathered energy in both hands, the Forger raised his modified spear, and the Devourer opened his sleepy eyes.

Even the magical twins who were arguing just now shut their mouths and raised their weapons.

The noise nearby was getting louder.

Peter and his companions' faces turned solemn, knowing that the enemy would arrive soon.

Without any words, they immediately stood in a circle with their backs to each other, each acting as the rear end, and looked around vigilantly.

Sure enough, in the next second, the zombie army appeared in everyone's sight, rushing over with fangs and claws.

The Forger frowned.

He took a quick look and saw that there were about fifty or sixty zombies this time.

Although there are more of them, fortunately there are no familiar people among them, they are just ordinary zombies.

This cannot but be said to be a good thing.

Not everyone can be so cold-blooded and heartless as to attack their former companions without hesitation.

It was for this reason that many superheroes who stayed on Earth were harmed by their beloved friends and relatives and turned into zombies.

Until now.

There are only a handful of normal superheroes.

The Forger even pessimistically believed that perhaps they were the only ones left in the entire America.

While thinking about these things, he did not delay his actions.

Thousands of battle experiences had already made the Forger's actions instinctive. Without much thought, he pulled the trigger and started a frenzy of killing.

The laser gun transformed from Cyclops now burst out with a blazing beam of energy, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

In an instant, several zombies in the front row turned to ashes.

I can only say that Cyclops is really great. He is still shining even after his death and has made great contributions to the continuation of mankind.

The other members of the team also showed their abilities at this moment.

Moonstone cast an explosive beam, blasting a large number of zombies.

The Fantastic Twins were also killing people with weapons modified from mutant body parts.

Peter plays the role of a firefighter, holding a special metal pathfinder, repelling every approaching zombie to ensure the safety of the team members.

It's just that Chewie the Devourer hasn't made a move yet, with all his hair standing up, as if he's saving up for a big move.

Environment can change people.

After several years of life and death trials, even children like the magical twins can kill without blinking an eye.

Peter also discarded the unnecessary principle of not killing.

In this world where people eat each other, being soft-hearted will only lead to your own destruction.

In order to avoid being eaten by the zombies, they can only take action first and eliminate all enemies who dare to attack.

The battle continues.

The bodies of the dead zombies were about to pile up into a small hill.

But there was still a considerable number of people at the scene, and a large number of zombies heard the noise and rushed from all directions to join the battlefield.

"We can't go on like this, we will be dragged down!"

Moonstone was anxious.

The zombie army has no fear and no fatigue, but we humans cannot do that.

More importantly, they have no external aid, but their enemies are endless.

If they keep delaying like this, they will be wiped out sooner or later.

At this critical moment, Chewie the Devourer finally took action.

"Chewie!"

Valeria cried out urgently.

The Devouring Beast Chuui immediately opened its bloody mouth, and countless tentacles with mouths and teeth stretched out, devouring all the zombies on the scene.

"What a good boy, my good Chewie."

Valeria held the Devourer in her arms and soothed Chewie with gentle touches.

"Can you use your big move first next time?"

Moonstone muttered a few words, but didn't say anything else.

She really didn't have the energy to say more.

At this moment, the woods became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

Only the strong smell of blood in the air confirmed how brutal the battle just now was.

"Is anyone injured?"

The crisis seems to be over.

Peter still didn't let his guard down.

Because his spider-sense was still going off like before.

Forge agreed with him.

"There must be a leader behind so many zombies. Maybe we will meet an old friend soon. I just don't know who will come this time?"

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying zombie suddenly appeared in the air and pounced towards him from above.

"Be careful, it's Nightcrawler!"

The Forger turned the gun as quickly as he could, but he was not as fast as the Night Walker who could teleport.

Just as he was about to be ripped open by the opponent, the energy beam of the Moonstone arrived in time and temporarily forced the Night Walker back.

But are Night Walkers so easy to deal with?

Looking at the entire mutant group, Nightcrawler's teleportation is unique.

Now that they have turned into zombies, they are even more difficult to deal with.

What’s peculiar is that, for some unknown reason, the Night Walker’s lower body completely disappeared from below the buttocks.

But this did not have much impact on his fighting ability.

On the contrary, without a butt, his teleportation speed became even faster.

In just a blink of an eye, he teleported behind Peter, opened his bloody mouth, and revealed his sharp fangs!
