A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 138 No Escape
As the time sled slid in the turbulent flow of time, the Baxter Building on the plane behind it gradually left Bai Ye's sight and disappeared into the ever-changing time and space.

The postman AI turned to Bai Ye, and the holographic image of the old man looked at him with a smile, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and asked, "You haven't said, where are you going?"

Before Bai Ye could answer, the AI's voice sounded in the cockpit again:

"I'm afraid there are not many places we can go. The fragments of this time gem are magnified by Dr. Richards with technological means. If you use it outside the sled, it will only allow you to fast forward or rewind for a few seconds."

There was a hint of helplessness in the AI's words, as if it felt quite powerless against the constraints of time and space.

"Besides," the postman AI continued, "I'm afraid we can only go back to the place where you started to tear the time rift. The time sled needs specific coordinates to coincide with the corresponding time point."

The blue figure shrugged.

After listening to the old postman's explanation, Bai Ye nodded calmly, "I know, let's keep going."

This is not what he expected. The old star-lord in the original plot wanted to use the time sleigh to go back to an earlier point in time to change the past, but he was also told that he could not go there without coordinates.

But this is not a problem for him. First, he asked a craftsman to enter the coordinates in the protective suit before he set off. Second, Mister Fantastic's location should also have coordinates.

The time sleigh galloped through the torrent of time, seemingly through countless timelines, until the scene in front of it became stable again.In their field of vision, a huge gray metal building appeared. It was five or six stories high and had a unique shape, like a huge ellipse.

The building's surface is smooth and solid, reflecting the light of time.The most eye-catching thing is that there is an extended platform at the top. The platform is gently swaying in the turbulence, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

The time sled slowly landed on the platform, shook slightly, and then came to a steady stop.

Bai Ye stepped out of the sleigh and looked at the huge metal oval building in front of him. At the same time, he noticed the faint light curtain on its outer layer, which was obviously built to protect the people inside from the turbulence of time.

"Judging from the architectural style, this building should be built by Dr. Richards and his wife using the remains of the Baxter Building." Herby floated to Bai Ye and made a mechanical sound.

Nodding his head, Bai Ye took a step and walked in.

The little robot was right. I don't know if it was because the invisible woman was protected by a psychic shield or because Reed used some technological means. The two of them did not die directly after being thrown into the world rift.

Instead, he used a piece of building debris that was blown into the crack of time after Bai Ye left to build this building before Bai Ye came.

When he reached the end of the platform, just when he was about to reach out and look for the door button, the originally tight building surface suddenly opened, and a deep passage appeared in front of him, and then dozens of small lights lit up at intervals inside, like Signaling him to keep going.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Ye continued to walk inward. Judging from the floating ash on the ground, it seemed that no living person had set foot here for several years.

"Reed? Dr. Richards? Mister Fantastic?!" He shouted as he walked, and Herby, who was floating in the air behind him, also turned on the searchlight on his body to illuminate the road more brightly.

Not long after walking, Bai Ye turned a corner, walked into a room, and then stopped.

In the center of this space, there is a bed.A pair of embracing skeletons lay on the bed, their bones appearing unusually white, in stark contrast to the technological devices around them.

The posture of the pair of skeletons seems to tell a sad story. They hug each other tightly, as if they are still refusing to let go of each other at the last moment of their lives.

Even if he didn't look at the blue bodysuits on the corpses, he knew their identities. They were Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman who had disappeared into the turbulence of time.

In the wasteland, civilians have been singing the story that this superhero couple will suddenly return one day and save the world.

But now it seems that it is probably just a beautiful but unreal dream.

The little robot Herby floated over and stopped next to the pair of skeletons, and the expression on the screen made of yellow pixels became very sad.

Although it is a robot composed of a pile of metal and electronic parts, there are also simulated emotions in the algorithms and programs. At this moment, seeing the death of the owner who once created it, it is really hard to hide grief.

"Voice confirmation, start playing." A mechanical broadcast suddenly came from above the pair of skeletons, and then, a flat screen lit up, and the video began to play.

The picture shows an old couple, with gray hair and wrinkles on their faces, looking at each other with eyes full of deep love.

"Hello, time traveler, please forgive me for calling you this, because I don't know your real name." Reed Richards in the picture looked at the camera, with a bit of seriousness in his voice.

"If this message starts playing, it means you have found us. I am sorry that I didn't believe you in time during our first or last meeting."

"After being trapped here, we have enough time to think about the truth of your words." Reed Richards tenderly embraced the invisible woman Susan who was also aging beside him, who A smile appeared on his face.

"Because of some reasons, Su and I can't leave here, so we decided to give you these precious weapons. Our future is already doomed, but yours is not yet."

Mister Fantastic's voice was conveyed through the video, and his gaze seemed to be able to travel through time and space and directly touch Bai Ye's heart.

Then, intertwined with the sound of the video playing, a metal box popped out from the floor and opened slowly.

What caught Bai Ye's eyes was a pair of golden bracelets, shimmering with light, which looked somewhat similar to the bracelets of the DC Wonder Woman next door.

In addition to the bracelet, there was also a palm-sized metal object placed in the metal box, which looked like a weird-looking lighter.

Bai Ye bent down and picked up those things.

The bracelets are things created by the life computer "Supreme Intelligence" created by the Kree people. They are called negative son bracelets. They can give the user enhanced strength and speed, the ability to absorb energy, and flight.

The latter is the biggest purpose of his trip.

Known as the 'lighter of the editorial department', a weapon capable of erasing almost anything, the ultimate eraser.
