A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 22 The Great Evolution

As the door to the laboratory opened, Susan walked in and came to Reed's side.

"You're fine, Sue."

He spoke words of concern, but Reid still focused on studying the zombie's corpse. He focused on cutting off a small piece of the zombie's heart, and placed it under a microscope for careful observation.

With his eyes fixed on the microscope, he seemed to be communicating with the zombie's cells.

Susan approached Reed and didn't care about his coldness. She asked with concern: "Why are you staying here by yourself? I thought you were working with Banner and Tony."

"They are working on other projects, and we conduct different studies separately, so that if one of them makes a discovery, the other person can go over and help."

"It was Tony's idea, but I agree."

Susan nodded, understanding.

"But to be honest, I don't know what's going on with Tony and the others, but I should have made some progress here."

"Oh?"

Reed's eyes shone with excitement: "These creatures are really amazing. They are human beings, but they are not. The infection by the virus has made them such efficient creatures."

"Can you imagine? An adult male needs to consume at least 15000 calories and 20 liters of water a week, but these creatures only need one thousandth or even one ten thousandth!"

After Susan heard Reed's description, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she shouted: "These zombies are all demons! They are not new life, don't forget what they did to our children!"

Reed still didn't look back at this time, he looked up and down the zombie's body, and said indifferently: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but what I can't ignore is that these zombies seem to have evolved in our body structure. .”

"This evolution somehow makes them more adaptable to the cruel world we have today."

After that, he took off one of the zombie's eyeballs, held it close and observed it carefully, and uttered admiration from time to time.

After hearing Reed's words, Susan was filled with grief and indignation. She couldn't accept his description of the evolution of zombies. How could such absurd words come from Mister Fantastic?

"Evolution? Cruel world?! This world has become so cruel because of them! They destroyed our homes and took away the people we love, and now you want us to understand their so-called evolution?"

Her voice trembled, and her eyes flashed with anger and helplessness. She couldn't understand why Reed described the changes in the zombies so coldly, seeming to completely ignore who the culprit of all this was.

Turning her head and walking out of the laboratory, she no longer wanted to have another word with this crazy husband.

"It's strange how little their brains function, though they have many of their organs stagnated because they don't need the useless stuff, yet retain mobility and intelligence in such a situation."

"Are you still there, Sue?"

Reed continued to be immersed in the study of zombie organs, and he didn't seem to care too much about Susan's departure.

He is observing the organs of zombies, trying to understand their evolution process.He only glanced back when he heard the door slam shut, but quickly turned his attention back to the experiment.

"What, is this evidence enough? He even called this virus evolution. No matter what you think, I don't think a bunch of man-eating monsters are evolution."

Seeing that "Susan" who walked out of the laboratory returned to that dull look after the door was closed, and the crack on the wall disappeared, Bai Ye opened her mouth and said.

As he expected, Reed may have gone mad after losing his child, or maybe he was already so mad. In short, he now regards zombies as the future of mankind.

To be honest, part of what he said is correct. Zombies really need very little in terms of energy consumption, but Reed ignored a crucial point, which is the appetite of the three major desires of human beings.

Under normal circumstances, after a person is full, his brain will send signals to his body to prevent him from suffocating himself to death, but zombies are different. Immortality that can "live".

As long as these guys have a mouthful of meat in front of them, they will still have to stuff the meat into their mouths even if their intestines are exploded, and they won't die anyway.

However, there are indeed some zombies among the zombie heroes who can resist this hunger, but that was 40 years later. During these 40 years, they almost ate up the entire universe.

"Um"

Fury looked at Reed who was still turning around on the zombie corpse on the screen, and fell into a rare hesitation.

Fearing that the chief agent was moved with compassion and wanted to let Mr. Fantastic go, Bai Ye hurriedly got up and added embellishment: "Do you remember what you said? I have the power of prophecy, and it was I who injured Kuaiyin that gave me You bring valuable reaction time."

"If this still doesn't prove the accuracy of my prediction, then I just said that these zombies can live forever without eating or drinking, which coincides with the results of Reed's experiment."

Looking at the one-eyed dragon in front of him who still lowered his eyes and remained silent, Bai Ye slapped the table, looking a bit annoyed: "What are you waiting for, kill Reed quickly, do you want us all to be eaten by these bastards as desserts? ?”

Fury thought silently for a few seconds, then burst into laughter.There was a kind of relief and joy in his laughter, and he stretched out a big hand towards the prophet in front of him.

"You have proven your worth and your stance, and S.H.I.E.L.D. welcomes you."

Bai Ye was a little surprised by this sudden change, but then he also showed a smile, stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Pleasant to work with."

Returning to his seat, Fury lit a cigar again and handed it to Bai Ye. He watched the latter take it and smiled, flicking his left hand in the holographic projection.

The camera instantly zoomed in on Mr. Fantastic, and his every move was fully visible.

"Computer, clean up area [-] of Gamma on the [-]th floor."

"There is a registered hero in the target area, ID: 00042, Mister Fantastic Reed Richards, the protection program is activated and cannot be cleaned up."

Fury calmly took a puff of his cigar, flicked the ashes, and said:
"Use level ten authority to cover it and ensure that the target is completely inactivated."

".Overwrite successful, start cleaning."

As the mechanized voice in the holographic projection disappeared, Bai Ye clearly saw that Mr. Fantastic, who had been studying beside the corpse in the laboratory, moved.

He took off the magnifying glass on his head, went to the far desk and wiped his forehead, took off his white coat and hung it on the back of the chair, and then looked around suspiciously.

Is it your own delusion?
Why does it feel like the cold laboratory suddenly became hot?
