I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 434 Peter Parker's Painful Decision

For several students at Central City High School, escape became the main theme of their lives in the days following the “Shuomie” incident.

The final travel plan they had been looking forward to was put on hold indefinitely, and the only thing they had to think about every day was how to stay alive and not get eaten by zombies.

"Peter, you should take a rest. We are still a long way from Atlanta." Aunt May felt sorry for her nephew. During the days of evacuation from New York, Peter protected them all the way. In order to guard against zombie attacks, he didn't even dare to close his eyes at night.

Peter Parker's spider sense became the radar for their team, avoiding countless zombies along the way.

America has entered the end of the world, and Spider-Man no longer needs to keep secrets. There are many dangers along the way, and he must protect his family and classmates.

"I'm not tired. Mr. Stark said there are fewer zombies ahead. If we go faster, we can reduce a lot of danger." Peter forced a smile.

He turned around and took a look at the team at the back, which included his best friend Ned Leeds, the girl he liked Michelle Jones, and some good classmates from Midtown High School.

On that day, Lin Hao brought back half of the life in the universe. Peter followed Stephen Strange back to Earth from Thanos' hometown. He thought there would be a tough battle, but unexpectedly, the enemy had already been destroyed.

Thanos' army was wiped out, but they faced a more terrifying enemy - an invincible zombie virus.

Peter, who is considered a member of the Avengers after all, can enjoy special treatment and can take his family on the helicarrier, away from the zombies on the ground.

But when the zombie outbreak occurred, Spider-Man's chivalrous heart unsurprisingly erupted when he saw his classmates at Midtown High School being torn to pieces by zombies.

Peter stepped forward without hesitation to rescue his classmates, and even revealed his identity to lead a refugee team to move south.

Of course, he naively asked Tony Stark if he could provide them with help, but Tony could only send him two unmanned armors and some wilderness survival supplies, without even any means of transportation.

Because there are too many people!

Even Peter's classmates plus their families numbered over a hundred people, and during the evacuation process, more and more people joined the team, because in times of crisis, humans will naturally move towards the collective.

As they traveled south, everyone discovered that Peter was always able to avoid the zombies in advance, and even if he encountered some unexpected accidents, he could rely on his powerful strength to get through them, so more and more people gathered together.

At present, the number of people in their fleeing group has exceeded three thousand.

When there are too many people, troubles will arise one after another, and all kinds of unreasonable demands will emerge in an endless stream.

Peter naturally couldn't handle it with his personality, but fortunately Michelle was a strong-willed person with a talent for management and command.

With the help of two steel armors and several thunderous moves, the team finally managed to maintain basic order.

But the fatigue keeps accumulating.

Peter was tired, and these ordinary people who were fleeing were also tired.

"Peter, we may not be able to hold on any longer." Michelle came over and said solemnly, "We have been walking for five consecutive days and can only rest for four hours a day. We are almost on the verge of collapse."

Ned, who once weighed over 200 pounds, has lost weight at a visible rate in the past few days.

"We just arrived in Maryland, and we are still more than a thousand kilometers away from Atlanta. Even if we are safe along the way, it will take at least a month."

"Mr. Stark can provide us with food and water, but so many people definitely can't survive a migration of thousands of kilometers. We are not an army."

"How about we find a few more buses?" Ned panted. The real leaders of this team were the three young boys. They had experienced the "Sparkling Extinction" and had not even graduated from high school.

If it weren't for the iron armor and drones hovering overhead that only obeyed Peter's command, there was no way that more than 3,000 people would honestly accept the leadership of three little devils.

When they were evacuating from New York, they took a vehicle, but soon they were stuck on a bridge and could not move.

Later, they found abandoned vehicles several times to travel, and when the road was blocked, they walked through the fields. This allowed them to cross Pennsylvania and reach Maryland in five days.

Otherwise, it would be a miracle for such a bloated non-professional team to walk 40 kilometers a day.

"But there are too many people, plus everyone's luggage, so we'll need at least sixty or seventy buses." Peter felt overwhelmed.

After experiencing these five days, Peter has not yet realized that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", but he has deeply realized the difficulties of being a manager.

“What is worrying is not the lack of supplies but the inequality of supplies” is what Peter has felt most deeply in the past five days. The distribution of any materials must be fair, otherwise someone will definitely jump out to express dissatisfaction.

Not everyone can prepare their luggage in advance before fleeing. In fact, most people run away in a panic, alone.

Even though everyone was constantly looking for various useful things on the road, no one would selflessly donate them. They all waited for Peter to distribute the supplies sent by Mr. Stark.

At the beginning, there were not many people and several buses could accommodate them.

When crossing Pennsylvania, the survivors heard about the migration team led by Spider-Man. Iron Man and Captain America announced the "settlement construction plan" through the radio network. Seeing hope, the survivors flocked over, causing the number of people in the team to surge.

At a time like this, Peter wouldn't dare discriminate.

"Then let the zombies come and eat a bunch of people." Ned was helpless and said angrily: "At the current rate, we will be blocked by zombies sooner or later anyway."

Michelle had a tablet in her hand, which was sent by Tony Stark via a drone. On it were the zombie activity areas detected by "Friday" and the planned migration routes.

Right now there are not many zombies in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina in the south. If they move quickly, they will be relatively safe, but once the zombie virus spreads, there will be a "poisonous zone" ahead.

"If there is really no other way, just adopt Ned's plan and take the initiative to go to the zombie area to reduce the burden on the team..." Michelle made a decisive and cruel proposal.

Seeing the surprised but helpless expression on Peter's face, Michelle had to say firmly: "I will guide the direction, just pretend you don't know."

"I..." Peter gritted his teeth.

"Peter, you can't save everyone, you can only make choices." Michelle revealed the cruel reality to Peter.

Seeing Peter immersed in pain, Michelle turned to look at Ned: "Let's do this."

Meeting Michelle's determined gaze, Ned nodded solemnly.

It was Peter who had always protected them, and now it was their turn to make difficult decisions for Peter and bear the mental torment.

Soon, the team began to quietly change direction.

The exhausted people in the rear were completely unaware.
