Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 516 It really is Pepper

Anyone could see that Peter's reaction was completely subconscious.

Tony's gaze followed Pepper downstairs, then shifted to Peter, a probing look in his eyes.

"Lin is here too? Oh! Peter? Two Peters?" Pepper was surprised for a moment, but only for a moment.

Although she was an ordinary person, she had followed Tony all the way and had seen all sorts of things. She immediately realized that this must be Peter from another universe.

Peter stared intently at Pepper, leaving her completely bewildered, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Tony found it somewhat amusing. Why was this like… a mouse seeing a cat?

Meeting Tony's questioning and teasing gaze, Peter smiled sheepishly first: "Hey, it's not my fault. You don't know Miss Potts from our area, she... she glows!"

Peter gestured wildly, "It also gets hot, it seems to be..." Peter frowned. What was that thing called again? It had been so long, and Tony from their universe had only mentioned it once. He couldn't quite remember.

Tony's face darkened sharply: "Extremis virus?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name!" Peter's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

"Yes, the Extremis virus, that was several years ago, Mr. Stark... oh, I mean Mr. Stark from our area."

"Mr. Stark once said that after using the Extremis virus, Miss Potts' personality changed, becoming very... irritable?!"

Seeing Tony's face growing increasingly grim, Peter quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Okay, I might have misspoke. It should be 'very action-oriented'."

"Oh, right, it seems like Ms. Potts is also in this universe? I'm not entirely sure..."

Tony's face was ashen: "Explain in detail."

Pepper, who was standing next to him, stopped asking about Morgan's backpack and instead sat down in the empty seat, watching the two of them with curiosity.

"Um... I saw some information on the StarNet. It seems that there is a newly emerged mercenary team on a certain planet, and there is a female mercenary who can shine brightly. However, the photo is very blurry, and she is wearing a mask, so I can't be sure."

"But you know, my abilities, well, sometimes I'm pretty accurate at 'guessing'."

Tony: "..."

Extremis, Iron Man 3? Lin Yi could think of that movie.

Simply put, due to a series of reasons, Killian injected Pepper with the Extremis virus, that very "unstable" stuff.

I won't go into the specific details, but anyway, it's the standard ending: the villain is eliminated.

However, in the original storyline, Tony cleared the Extremis virus from Pepper. Now it seems that in this Peter Parker universe, Tony didn't do that.

Was it due to technological limitations? Or was the Extremis virus used by Killian different from the one in the movie? Or was it Pepper's own choice?

Judging from the movie, Pepper and the Extremis virus are highly compatible.

That said, Pepper in Lin Yi's universe also had the option of having superpowers, but to Lin Yi's surprise, Pepper didn't have that option.

Tony's first two generations of the super-gene evolution serum were already very mature. After Pepper used it, she would at least be able to beat Steve without any problem.

But Pepper refused, saying she wanted to be a normal person.

This puzzled Lin Yi and troubled Tony. After all, he had used the super-gene evolution serum. Putting aside his abilities, his lifespan alone far exceeded that of ordinary people.

If Pepper doesn't use it, what will happen to him a hundred years from now?

However, there's still time to persuade him; if all else fails, he still has the Infinity Stones to use. Of course, if Pepper insists on her own choice…

"Jarvis!"

Jarvis: "..."

[You have been connected to the StarNet and are searching for information that matches your criteria...]

Without Tony even saying a word, Jarvis knew he'd be doing the work. By the time Tony asked, Jarvis had already been searching for ages.

In just a few seconds, images and videos were projected.

The basic images are very blurry, but it can be determined that these materials are almost all from planets with scarce resources.

Moreover, the people wearing masks, who are suspected to be Pepper, are deliberately avoiding surveillance, resulting in almost no photos showing their faces even when they are wearing masks.

There is also a video, which is also blurry. It shows Pepper getting into a conflict with someone on a dilapidated street.

In the video, a glowing light can be clearly seen under the clothes and on the arms.

"Jarvis?"

[Yes, sir. The way the characters use their abilities and the effects they produce in the video are consistent with the characteristics of the Extremis virus.]

Based on the analysis of the image's posture, the figure in the image matches Miss Potts with an 87% similarity.

Eighty-seven percent, that's already a very high accuracy rate. Not to mention the thick clothing and the mask.

When the probability came out, Tony was honestly not happy, and even found it difficult to make a decision.

Do you think he should interfere? Let's not even talk about whether he needs to. Besides, although they're both Pepper, they're from different universes, and their life paths are completely different.

Of course, Morgan is an exception. Morgan is special. No matter which universe's Morgan comes from, Tony will acknowledge her as his daughter.

Besides, judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to need my help at all. It seems that as long as the problem of the universe is solved and everyone returns to their own universe, wouldn't everything be resolved?

That's just Pepper's style; he wouldn't be so conflicted with anyone else.

Pepper, standing nearby, understood as well. She was surprised and curious at the same time, after all, she had seen different Morgans, but this was a different experience from seeing another version of herself.

She had some questions for Tony, and logically, if Tony had asked her, she would have been more inclined to have a conversation with this Pepper from another universe.

Because she thought of Morgan. Had the Morgan from that universe also been transported to an unknown universe? How anxious must that other version of herself be?

Seeing Tony deep in thought, Pepper chose not to speak, intending to save the issue for later that evening. The current situation was clearly inappropriate.

Tony was troubled for a long time, and finally nudged Lin Yi, who was eating slowly and deliberately like an outsider.

"Things seem to be getting more and more chaotic. Why don't you lend a hand and resolve all of this?"

Lin Yi didn't respond to him immediately. She swallowed the last bit of food, picked up her water glass, and took a sip. Only then did she leisurely look at Tony.

"Are you sure? I can't stay in this universe forever." Lin Yi's words were very simple, but Tony understood the information contained within them without much effort.
