Chapter 242 Quantum Virus
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. The atmosphere was so quiet that one could even hear their own breathing.

The Time Gem, glowing with mysterious green light, finally slowly flew to—

Suddenly appeared in Carl's hands.

"What? Carl?" exclaimed the weathered version of Tony.

The other Avengers' faces suddenly changed, and they all picked up their weapons, ready to fight at any time.

The reason why Carl was here was because of yesterday's war, which forced him to keep an eye on his territory all day.

Ten minutes ago, Carl, who had been watching for a whole day, was preparing to take a break when he suddenly sensed that a dozen people emitting powerful mental fluctuations had broken into New York State.

He immediately became interested and guessed that the Avengers had arrived.

He became even more excited when he sensed that the Avengers had landed in the nuclear explosion zone in Manhattan, New York.

The Avengers went to this deserted place of death on purpose, they must have come with an important mission.

In post-nuclear Manhattan, Carl couldn't think of any other purpose the Avengers had except the New York Temple.

Therefore, he decisively teleported over quietly and temporarily used the invisible stance to conceal himself.

Until the moment the Time Stone appeared, he seized the opportunity and snatched it away.

Now that he has successfully obtained the Time Stone, Carl made a silver metal ball to properly preserve the Time Stone.

Then, he glanced around and saw that Gu Yi did not show any dissatisfaction, but was just looking at him with a smile.

He then understood that Ancient One was probably happy to see him obtain the Time Stone.

As a result, Carl had a clear idea in his mind and took the Avengers present less seriously.

"Thank you all superheroes for finding the Time Stone for me. To show our gratitude, Umbrella will give 200 Space City slots to the Avengers."

"Dear heroes, see you later."

After saying that, Karl disappeared.

"Don't run!" Carol hurriedly opened her mouth to stop him and fired a beam of energy.

"boom--"

The energy beam hit the place where Carl disappeared, blasting a deep pit in the dark lava crystal ground.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, everyone saw an empty pit. No one thought that Carl would be killed by this energy beam.

"What should we do now? The Time Stone was taken away by Carl. How can we collect all six Infinity Stones?"

Sam's tone sounded very depressed.

The experienced version of Tony felt very aggrieved. He thought he had obtained an Infinity Stone smoothly, but it was snatched away by Carl.

He stared with anger at the bald woman opposite him who was smiling the whole time.

"Hey, you should be the wizard of Kamar-Taj, why did you just give the Time Stone to Carl?"

Ancient One smiled mysteriously, "Everything in the world follows fixed laws of operation, and the emergence of variables may be able to change this stagnant world."

After she finished speaking, a golden halo appeared in front of Gu Yi. She walked in and the halo gradually shrank and disappeared.

All the Avengers had confusion written all over their faces.

"Can you understand what this wizard said?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Rody.

The weathered Captain America sighed and said, "Can't you see? This wizard is on Carl's side. Now we have to find another way to get the Time Stone."

The young version of Tony had a flash of inspiration and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"The wizard just now was quite easy to talk to. He handed over the Time Stone very easily."

"We can travel through time and space and go back to a few decades ago to continue to look for that wizard to borrow the Time Stone. Can't we collect all six stones?"

Hearing this, all the Avengers regained hope.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go back and prepare to travel through time and space!" Scott said impatiently.

Then everyone left on the Quinjet.

"Huhu."

Two Quinjet fighters roared into the sky and flew quickly to the east.

This deserted nuclear explosion area soon returned to silence.

Carl doesn't care about the Avengers' subsequent plans, nor does he bother to pay attention.

At this time, he was in the training ground and had just absorbed the power of the Time Stone.

I discovered that I had a new ability: a keen sense of time.

In the future, if he falls into the enemy's time-stagnation attack, he will be able to clearly sense the speed of time flow and find a way to escape.

This new ability greatly enhanced Carl's perception of time, making him more comprehensive.

He was one step closer to becoming a hexagonal warrior and breaking through the bottleneck of the Father level.

"Now that we have five Infinity Stones, we only need the last Reality Stone. Then we can collect all six Infinity Stones and exchange them for the Phoenix Force."

"Just wait a few more months, and when the nine realms merge into one, that will be the day I break through to the single universe level!"

Thinking of this, Karl felt relieved.

Just when he was about to find some girls to celebrate, Red Queen suddenly issued a warning.

[Red warning! Red warning! ]

[An unknown zombie virus has appeared in the European Avengers headquarters. The infection rate is extremely fast and has now spread to most of Germany. ]

Carl was stunned when he heard this, "Where did the zombie virus come from?"

Then, he asked Red Queen to project satellite surveillance images of the European area.

Two holographic projection screens appeared in the center of the training ground.

One is a satellite image of the Avengers' headquarters, the small town of Potsdam.

The other is a satellite image of the European region.

In the satellite images of the town of Potsdam, many zombies with gray skin and ugly looks were chasing and biting living people frantically.

Even Ant-Man Scott, Iron Man, two identically ugly Captain Americas, and several Avengers heroes have all turned into hideous zombies, chasing and biting people.

Seeing this scene, Karl took a breath of cold air.

"Shh! Could it be that the Avengers have brought out the zombie virus in the quantum realm?"

The zombie virus in the quantum realm is a hundred times more dangerous than the T virus.

It is even an existence that is unsolvable for Carl at this stage.

In the Marvel multiverse, there is a parallel universe that was infected with this zombie virus.

All living things in the entire universe, including the purple potato spirit, cannot avoid being infected and turned into zombies!

This shows how terrible this zombie virus is.

"Fuck you! Damn the Avengers! I warned them not to mess around, but they still caused such a huge disaster!"

Carl is feeling a little panicked now. He is not sure if he can handle the horror of the zombie virus.

"I order that from now on, all members of Umbrella Protection enter a level one combat readiness state and abandon all branch bases except the North American base." "Send people to urgently relocate secret material warehouses around the world. The North American base will enter a semi-closed management mode."

"All Umbrella resources will be allocated to the Space City project, and its priority will be raised to the highest level."

"Stop all costs and push forward the space city project as quickly as possible!"

"And where's Pietro?"

The reason why the zombie virus in the zombie universe spreads at an alarming rate is because the speedster Quicksilver was infected from the very beginning of the disaster.

Therefore, after Carl issued an emergency order to all important departments of Umbrella, he immediately asked about Pietro's whereabouts.

[Instructions conveyed]

[Satellite positioning shows that Mr. Pietro Maximov is located on Burgling Street, Poughkeepsie]

Carl said with a serious face: "Red Queen, send an emergency message to Pietro immediately and make sure he returns to the North American base immediately."

As orders were issued from the Umbrella North American base.

Umbrella branch bases around the world, including the headquarters base in Sokovia, responded quickly and immediately began emergency evacuations.

One after another, Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft loaded with important supplies took off from various bases and headed for the North American base.

Secondary materials are loaded into containers and transported by sea via large cargo ships.

Umbrella's undisguised move immediately attracted the attention of countries around the world.

But soon, intelligence networks of various countries also discovered that hordes of zombies appeared in Europe.

At the beginning, top leaders of various countries thought that the zombies this time were similar to the previous ones and did not pay too much attention to them.

But just two hours later, the zombie crisis spread to half of Europe.

Only then did countries begin to take this zombie crisis seriously.

But the nuclear war had just passed, and the material reserves of various countries were seriously insufficient, and the army did not even have enough food rations.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers had no desire to fight, and even the senior officers hated war extremely.

Let such an army fight against the zombies.

The consequence is
In just half a day, the entire European region fell completely and became a paradise for zombies.

Countries on other continents can only mind their own business and send troops to garrison important cities within their borders.

Rely on the protection of the energy shield of the big city to resist the zombies that are gradually spreading all over the world.

Fortunately, we had just experienced a large-scale war, and the areas around major cities had become deserted and dead areas, so the army could use weapons of mass destruction at will.

It can barely slow down the march of the zombie army.

But it's only a slowdown.

Because this time, the zombies have clear minds, memories, emotions, and even their own super powers will not be lost.

The zombie virus only changes part of the host's mind, and does not make the host completely lose his mind like the T virus.

This is equivalent to the zombie virus splitting humanity into two races.

Furthermore, one of the races sees the other as food.

Delicious and tasty food!
In order to compete for delicious human flesh and blood, the zombies will even fight among themselves and engage in fierce infighting.

This is because zombies feel very hungry all the time, and eating fresh, uninfected human flesh and blood can give them a pleasure that is a hundred times stronger than sucking powder.

Therefore, in order to obtain fresh flesh and blood, the zombies not only fight among themselves.

There will also be a strategic formation of large-scale armies.

Then, like humans, they discussed and made rigorous attack plans, using strategies flexibly to capture large cities with millions of fresh humans.

In Europe, the leaders of the nearly 100 million zombie hordes are none other than the Avengers members who have transformed into zombies.

It is precisely because these Avengers members are very familiar with major cities in various countries, coupled with their own strong strength.

Within half a day, the zombie army led by a dozen Avengers easily captured the defenses of more than 30 major cities in Europe.

After the zombie army conquered all of Europe with great force, the large force began to attack Central Asia and East Asia.

A small number of smart zombies took the initiative to leave the main group and chose to travel across the ocean to Australia and America, wanting to enjoy the deliciousness of human flesh and blood alone.

Two o'clock in the afternoon on January 2013, 1.

A huge aerospace carrier with a rusty appearance was hovering over the state of Los Angeles in North America.

Several Quinjet fighters quickly took off from the deck and flew to a certain coordinate below.

In the command room of the helical carrier, Nick Fury's black windbreaker was stained with blood, appearing somewhat dark red.

"Carefully search the address of the secret underground shelter given by Stark and make sure to rescue Pepper."

But he was so busy giving various orders that he had no time to change into clean clothes.

Carol and the older version of Tony were standing next to each other, both of them looked frightened.

"Carl's warning makes sense. If we had known the quantum realm was so dangerous, we shouldn't have let Scott continue traveling through time and space." Carol said with regret on her face.

The vicissitudes of life version of Tony had a sullen face and said nothing.

At this moment, he still couldn't accept it. His former companions and brothers had become so strange and even wanted to eat him.

"Send two more Quinjet fighters to transfer all the supplies from Stark's secret shelter to the mothership."

Nick Fury was still busy coordinating the specific work of all the staff on the helical carrier and didn't even have time to look at Carol and the others.

As for how all this happened?

The story begins when the Avengers decide to return to Europe and let Scott travel back several decades to find the wizard of Kamar-Taj to borrow the Time Stone.

At that time, after the Avengers returned to Europe, they couldn't wait to let Scott enter the quantum realm.

Unexpectedly, after the five-second countdown, Scott did not return on time but disappeared.

Little did they know that Scott had actually returned from the quantum realm a long time ago, but he was unfortunately infected with the zombie virus and turned into a zombie with reason.

So, he deliberately shrank to the size of an ant, avoided the Avengers' detection, and sneaked back.

When no one was paying attention, it crawled on the other Avengers like a mosquito, sucking their blood and eating their flesh crazily.

Just like that, when the Avengers noticed abnormal reactions in their bodies, they discovered that something was wrong.

It's already too late.

At that time, Scott took advantage of his reduced size and unknowingly infected most of the Avengers who were present.

Only four Avengers, including Carol, the aged version of Captain America, T'Challa, and Shuri, as well as the absent Nick Fury and several of his trusted agents, survived.

Even most of the staff at the Avengers headquarters were not spared and were all infected.

Only a small number of members followed Nick Fury and escaped on the helicarrier that had not yet been repaired.

However, not long after Nick Fury and his crew fled Europe, they discovered that the zombie crisis had become so serious that it was irreversible.

In desperation, Fury could only temporarily ignore the Avengers who had turned into zombies.

He planned to find a safe place first, figure out the specific principles of the zombie virus, and let Samuel Stern study the vaccine serum as soon as possible.
