Strictly speaking, it's not a 'pothole'.

It's more like a huge vertical passage dug up by the underground.

The diameter of the round pit is ten meters long, and the side walls are tens of meters deep.

"Barbara, did you activate the system below?" Star-Lord turned his head curiously.

"No, I haven't cracked it completely, there are a lot of auto-running subroutines here, and it's not easy to bypass them and hack into the network." Barbara replied.

"No wonder, after all, this place was built by one of the brightest minds in the world." Logan spread his hands, and then came to the edge of the round pit. "Then it should be an automatic machine down there, right, let's go straight down or what?"

"Let's go straight down, judging by the 3D topographical map, there is a long corridor below us, and at the end there is a huge research room, which should be our target if we are looking for clues to the Ultimate Eraser." Barbara thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, everyone, be careful, I'll go down and explore the way first."

Star-Lord calmed the few people behind him, and then he took the brunt of activating the jet device under his feet, jumping down the pit and slowly landing with the repulsion under his feet.

And when he finally fell back to the ground, he was surprised to find that Konstantin was already waiting for him in the corridor below.

"You" Star-Lord was stunned.

"Magic, magic." Konstantin shrugged his shoulders.

In the rear, the rest of the people also came to the corridor with their own magical powers, except for Logan, who flew down with the help of Shazam, everyone else had full landing experience.

"What are we going to do next?" Raven asked, looking at Star-Lord.

At this time, she is in much better condition than before, since she came to this world, she has never experienced her father's torture, not only can she rest well, but even use magic much more smoothly than before.

"Let's take a look along the corridor first, I haven't dealt with the Fantastic Four much, so I'm not very familiar with this place, but we still have to be careful, there is a good chance that there will be traps and the like." Star-Lord said seriously.

"You've watched too many old movies, it's all in ruins." Pietro shook his head and offered a different opinion. "Besides, even if there is a trap, the underground people will probably help us trigger it."

A few minutes later, the group chatted and walked to the room at the end of the hallway.

"It seems that because of the lights, the underground people didn't cause much damage here." Star-Lord stepped on the broken steel bar, jumped down the steps, and walked out of the collapsed gate, only to feel a sudden light in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, a huge laboratory is displayed in front of everyone, countless experimental equipment and broken wires are scattered on the ground, bright lights shine on the room, and a huge steel robot is displayed on the wall, with several joints inserted into it.

At the edge of the room, a smaller pit can be seen that connects to the deeper rooms of the Baxter Building, indicating that the underground people dug directly from the ground.

"Wow, the Hulk armor is still with a reactor, if this thing is placed outside, it is estimated that those forces will be able to break their heads." Star-Lord leaned in front of the giant machine armor and muttered to himself.

Since the death of Iron Man, the way these steel reactors were made has been lost, and even the cutting-edge scientists of Hydra have spent so many years unable to crack it clearly, and now that they see the Iron Man suit again, Star-Lord and Logan's hearts are still very complicated.

"I probably know why I can't crack the system here." Barbara walked briskly over to a chassis and plugged the cable in. "There's also artificial intelligence running here."

"But I don't see any trace of the Ultimate Eraser, maybe somewhere else can there be a record of the Fantastic Four's arsenal, we can put it down and look for it." Logan looked at the mess and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Star-Lord was a little helpless.

"Logan, do you know how big this place is?"

However, before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden movement in the ruins.

(Zizi automatically activates the startup program.) Zizi speech recognition. Successful match: Star-Lord)

The sudden sound startled the old wolf, and he couldn't help but take a closer look, and found that it was a small robot with a broken exterior.

"What the hell is this?"

(Speech recognition, Zizi matches Wolverine.)

The screen on the robot's head slowly opens, revealing a face emoji.

(Welcome. Allies of the Fantastic Four. I'm Herbie, the intelligent butler of the Fantastic Four. Responsible for compliance with protocol protection and assistance. Zizizi. Surviving Heroes)

"It seems that this is the back hand left by the Fantastic Four, but this sweeping robot has been buried in the ground for many years and can't get out at all." Konstantin looked at the little guy and said casually.

(Herbie. It's a smart housekeeper. Not a robot vacuum)

But now, no one cares about these names.

"Hee-P, are you blocking my access to the network?" Barbara asked as she tapped back at the keyboard.

(Herbie is protecting the Fantastic Four's cybersecurity, and the Multiple Time Barrier Oscillator is being maintained here.)

"What is the multivariate play should be an oscillator?"

Although I don't know what Hebby is talking about, judging from the name alone, this is obviously not a safe device, after so much experience, all heroes know that it is not a simple thing to put together with the word 'diversity'.

(Multi-Time Barrier Oscillator.)

Herbie said it again.

(It's a device capable of tearing down the barriers of the multiverse to the flow of time, and if not handled properly, an explosion inside can cover a mile radius.)

"Okay, I got it!"

When Barbara heard this, she immediately took her hands off the keyboard.

"The time stream explodes, it's outrageous to hear, Richards actually packed such a dangerous thing in his own mansion!" Star-Lord couldn't help but growl.

Next to him, Logan pouted. "I've said scientists are crazy."

(Alert!) Alert! Alert! Zizizi. Intruder detected! ）

Suddenly, Herbie's on-screen meme vanishes, replaced with a red exclamation mark, and flashes of blinding light constantly.

"What, is there anyone else but us?" Kate was immediately ready for battle.

"It's possible that it's the underground, we just pushed them back, and with their numbers, it's very likely that they'll come back, after all, we're in their base camp right now." Logan also got back on his feet.

(Multiple advanced vital signs are detected approaching)

"It doesn't matter, if it's an undergrounder, leave it to me." Shazam had already built a leg with magic after his transformation, and he walked quickly in front of the group, facing the dark hole.

But soon he was stopped by Konstantin.

"I'm afraid it's not an undergrounder."

Konstantin frowned, his melancholy eyes constantly surveyed his surroundings, he could see through the energy fluctuations that ordinary people could not see, and the guys coming towards them at this time were by no means comparable to the garbage of the underground people.

"Aren't you curious where those members of the Church are on Earth?"

Sensing the strength of the other party, Konstantin smiled dryly and took out the playing cards from his arms.

"Now they're coming to the door."
