Sighing heavily, it took Zhang Yu a lot of effort to calm himself down again.

If at the beginning Zhang Yao's view of pollution was just a very strange and difficult to define medium, now Zhang Yao has a more intuitive guess and feeling about the source of pollution.

The previous inference was correct, that the pollution did originate from the higher worlds, and that it was a false, distorted, top-down radiation.

It can affect all the worlds below in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to think about, and that force is even difficult to observe, let alone fight head-on.

Now Zhang Yu finally understands why this pollution can interfere with the timeline and make cognitive changes across several universes, because it is not a 'force' at all, but more like a spiritual thought.

A trend of thought composed of countless people and filled with countless complicated thoughts.

For these people in the multiverse, this power is uncontrollable and unspeakable, because these hamsters trapped in cages will not be able to really go out in their lifetime, let alone contact those higher beings.

"The most troublesome thing now is how to find these IP addresses." Tony Stark crossed his arms and broke the silence. "These things can be applied to any universe, and we can't define those specific locations."

"Do you have any ideas?" Zhang Yu asked softly.

"It's hard, they could come from any universe, it's still the universe we 'know', after all, I've never touched the farm boy's world before, remember, I always thought they were fake."

Tony Stark spread his hands and continued. "If these comics are true, if each one represents a separate world, then our search will be infinitely extended, you know."

Rubbing his forehead with the base of his palm, Zhang Yu said in a low voice. "Yes, I understand that pollution can come from any universe, even the world that we can't observe."

"Seriously, Zhang Yu, I'm really not sure if we should continue to investigate, it's out of our power."

After a moment of silence, Tony Stark's mood was also a little solemn, he looked directly at Zhang Yu and spoke.

"You know, before the zombie crisis broke out in our world, I had never personally touched the multiverse, I was only responsible for the safety of the earth, just like you remembered, playboy, saving the world, but this is a little too unbelievable."

"I can understand your concern, Tony, but have you ever thought that your world shouldn't have been going through this, the Avengers, the X-Men, everyone there is innocent, they are suffering unjustly."

"Of course I thought about it! In the years you've left me in that world, I've been thinking about it all the time. ”

Tony Stark said with some excitement. "You know, I used to think that if I worked hard enough, my talent and intelligence would allow me to solve any problem, and even Thanos would dare to fight him head-on.

But it never occurred to me that there were much larger worlds beyond our universe, and that each of those worlds had a high probability of posing a threat to us. ”

"So, it's sometimes good for Tony to be a frog at the bottom of a well, maybe there's some kind of mutant virus raging in other universes, or some evil god in other universes trying to conquer the multiverse.

However, the vast majority of people are able to live and work in peace and contentment, do their own things every day, go to work, get off work, play games, and make girls, for the simple reason that they don't know. ”

Zhang Yu took out the cigarette case that Konstantin gave him, and when he opened it again, the cigarettes inside had been refilled.

"Now, you tell me, what your first reaction was after knowing this, you don't need to think too much, and you don't need to worry about anything, I just want to know the first thought in your mind."

"First thoughts"

Tony Stark paused, then couldn't help but laugh wryly.

"Damn, I want to figure out the source of the pollution and solve this threat once and for all, I don't want to protect everyone, I just don't have to worry about getting involved in this kind of disaster in the future."

"That's it."

Zhang Yu snapped his fingers, then lit the cigarette in his mouth.

"You see, Tony, it's actually very simple, my idea is very simple, I don't have any lofty ideals, I want to save the world and make a mess, that kind of life is not for me, I'm a person, I just like to mess around.

But what I've been through, what I've been through before I've come here, every single thing about them reminds me, reminds me of how dangerous these worlds are, so I can't stop, you know? ”

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Tony Stark sighed faintly. "Maybe this is the curse of the wise? Sometimes I envy people who fall asleep on their heads, at least they don't have that much pressure. ”

"We're all in the story, Tony, you can't just fall asleep, at least the pollution doesn't want you to have such an easy life." Zhang Yu smiled, his expression a little complicated.

"So what should we do next? These IP addresses don't help us much, and if we want to figure out where the pollution is coming from, then at least we should have a more specific direction. Tony Stark asked.

"It's not a problem, Tony, pollution itself is the best direction to investigate." Zhang Yu thought for a moment.

The time when he came to this place is incalculable, from the beginning of his descent into the ruined universe to the present, Zhang Yu has experienced countless days and nights.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the most polluted places are basically the Marvel multiverse, and there is no shadow of pollution in DC's Flash Cinematic Universe and Apocalypse War Universe.

"Judging by the look on your face, I think you have a plan." Tony Stark looked at Zhang Yu in contemplation and said softly.

"Sort of."

Zhang Yu raised his head and smiled slightly.

"Why can't we look a little further?"

Beyond the sacred timeline of the Eternal Wasteland - the Mystic House.

Susan, the stealth woman, checked the data of the energy control center again, and after making sure that the time was normal, she made herself a cup of coffee, took a blanket and went to the sofa.

Reid Richards had already taken the heroes of the wasteland on a mission according to Zhang Yu's orders, and Susan knew that it was a very dangerous mission, about the zombie virus, Resident Evil or something.

This operation, Susan said that it is impossible not to worry, but she also knows the importance of this matter, these crises from the multiverse are like a sword hanging over their heads, if they cannot be solved properly, then they may threaten more people in the future, including themselves.

Curled up in the comfort of the leather sofa and feeling the warmth enveloping her, Susan enjoyed the hard-won peace.

Playing on the TV screen is a scene from the timeline of the wasteland, and the protagonists on the screen are Susan's two children.

Franklin and Valeria are now accustomed to life in the wasteland, and although it is not easy to be brought to this world of civilization fault line from a relatively perfect era, it is generally safe.

Vivien, the leader of the new Avengers, arranged the best living environment for them, and watching the children's lives every day was Susan's happiest time.

After accepting the responsibility of being a regulator, Susan had already made up her mind to give up everything she had, and now she would devote herself wholeheartedly to protecting the stability of the wasteland, after all, not only for herself, but also for her children.

Just as Susan stared at the TV screen in a distracted manner.

Suddenly, there was a flash on the TV, and the picture was as if the signal reception was poor, and even the sound became stuck one by one.

Susan was stunned for a moment, then her brow furrowed, and she lifted the blanket and sat up straight, staring at the TV in confusion.

The Mystery House is on a coordinate outside of the timeline, and the energy here allows it to complete its own supply, and there is no such concept of 'signal' at all, and it stands to reason that such a strange situation will never occur.

Standing up, the first thought that occurred to Susan was that the Mystery House had been invaded by some kind of outside, but it should be a safe place, and the invasion alarm hadn't sounded, so she wasn't quite sure.

However, for the sake of safety, Susan still opened her superpower field, and she slowly walked in front of the TV while guarding against the surrounding situation.

The screen is intermittent, sometimes there are snowflakes and distortions, and the sound playback of the stereo is also affected, frequently stuttering, and even accompanied by screeching noise.

Susan held her breath and didn't dare to take a breath, and then she slowly raised her hand, trying to try it with her superpowers.

However, before she could make a move, the flickering image on the TV, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, suddenly stabilized.

Immediately after, a blue logo appeared in the frame.
