The belated Avengers from the Main Universe and the Fantastic Four were all stunned into silence, their mouths agape at the scene before them.
Seeing a few zombies trying to escape, they took up their stances.
"Be careful, everyone. This might be an unknown virus. Don't get infected."
Tony and Reed said to their companions behind them almost simultaneously.
Susan didn't hesitate at all, immediately activating a large-scale protective field.
Immediately after, Tony reported to Nick Fury:
"Director Fury, I think we must immediately quarantine the entire Manhattan area. There are suspected large-scale unknown virus infections, and the infected seem to turn into zombies from movies."
"There were a total of six initial infected individuals at the accident scene. Another was dealt with by that guy who looks like Superman, and the remaining infected are trying to escape. We will do our best to intercept them."
Fury, on the other end, felt a pang in his heart upon hearing Tony's report. A zombie virus—if this thing really spread, it would be truly disastrous!
"Tony, you must ensure that every single infected person is contained. The virus cannot be allowed to spread!"
"I will report to the Security Council immediately and then request the Military's assistance in blockading the entire Manhattan area."
Nick Fury didn't equivocate at all and immediately reported the danger of this incident to his superiors.
"Fury, can you confirm it's really a viral infection?"
"Quarantining all of Manhattan is no small matter. If there's a misjudgment, none of us will be able to explain it to the angry populace."
These were, of course, just excuses. The anger of ordinary people was nothing compared to the anger of capital. Manhattan was the center of New York, and a real quarantine would involve too much!
Fury was already prepared for the attitude of these bigwigs on the Security Council.
He directly showed them a video, saying, "This was filmed and transmitted in real-time from the front lines by Tony Stark's armor."
That hellish scene made one female council member vomit on the spot!
At this, the council members also became restless. After all, such an apocalyptic premonition was too impactful.
However, each of them, having reached their current position, possessed a ruthless and calculating ability to sacrifice pawns to save the king.
Instantly, the thought of dropping a nuclear bomb on Manhattan to cleanse the area arose!
However, the situation was still unclear, and this thought remained just a thought; no council member brought it up on the spot.
"We will immediately contact the White House and have the Military respond to this virus crisis under wartime alert!"
"Now, you must ensure your Avengers team doesn't let a single infected person escape!"
"The United States is facing an unprecedented major crisis, Fury. As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., your responsibility is now very great."
Fury understood that the current hope could only be placed on the Avengers at the front lines; they were the first line of defense.
Meanwhile, in Manhattan, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four were already clashing with the zombie heroes!
Quicksilver, however, was being chased frantically by Supreme Superman. His speed was indeed very fast, but this kid in the Superman uniform was by no means slow.
No matter which direction he fled, Supreme Superman could accurately keep up.
"Hahahahaha! You trash, aren't you good at running?"
When Quicksilver was intercepted again, Supreme Superman let out a terrifying maniacal laugh.
After a period of chasing, Quicksilver now felt his stomach, which had only just been somewhat filled, begin to signal hunger again.
With the mindset of sacrificing a fellow Daoist to save himself, Quicksilver immediately turned around and ran directly towards his zombie companions, with his first target being Zombie Namor, who was entangled with the Fantastic Four.
At this moment, Zombie Namor was drawing vast amounts of Water from underground, fighting against the massive Fire tornado created by Human Torch.
Seeing Quicksilver lead the Superman who had taken down Sentinel over, Namor immediately became furious. As Quicksilver ran past a puddle, Namor immediately used a dirty trick to trip him.
Supreme Superman also felt that the cat-and-mouse game had gone on long enough. He puffed out his cheeks and unleashed a blast of freezing breath, instantly freezing everything.
Namor's sacred Trident of Neptune gave him the ability to control the sea, but now, frozen, it completely lost its effect.
This scene stunned the Fantastic Four.
"So there really is a Superman in this World. That's not just a comic book character!"
Human Torch said, somewhat flabbergasted.
He had, of course, read Superman comics as a child and even fantasized about becoming Superman, though now he had indeed become a different kind of Superman.
"I am Supreme Superman. Remember that, Fire boy!"
Hearing Johnny's words, Supreme Superman immediately glared at him with a fierce look, correcting his mistake in addressing him.
Then, in front of them, he smashed Zombie Quicksilver and Zombie Namor into ice powder.
On the other side, facing Zombie Luke Cage and Zombie Moon Knight, the cautious Avengers team merely tried to restrict them, aiming to snipe them from a distance.
Unfortunately, Thunder God Thor, a super-powered combatant, had temporarily returned to Asgard for some reason; otherwise, they wouldn't be so passive.
They finally managed to seemingly kill Moon Knight, who wore a White cloak, but in the blink of an eye, he revived!
And Zombie Luke Cage's indestructible skin was an even bigger problem. Iron Man's thermal weapons, Hawkeye's arrows, or Captain America's shield had no effect on him.
Also deterred by the unknown nature of the zombie virus, the heroes could only use ranged attacks.
"Hulk! Can! Fight!"
The savage Hulk, who had gradually established basic communication with his primary personality, Banner, now wanted to come out and engage Luke Cage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, with the situation unclear, neither Captain America nor Tony wanted Hulk to emerge.
If he were infected in close combat, a truly terrifying monster would be unleashed!
"No, listen to me, Hulk, you can't come out right now!"
Dr. Banner could only patiently try to persuade Hulk, who was like a child.
Just as they felt a bit helpless, Supreme Superman descended with overwhelming power.
"You guys are really too weak, wasting so much effort on these two pieces of trash."
With his familiar sarcasm, Supreme Superman wouldn't treat the Avengers with kindness just because they seemed like good guys.
After speaking, he threw a punch, and Luke Cage's seemingly strong defense was like paper before his Iron Fist, instantly exploding his head.
The remaining Moon Knight, however, was a bit tricky, because even when Supreme Superman burned him with his heat vision, he still revived.
And he even spoke in a provocative tone:
"You can't kill me. I have the blessing of the Moon God Khonsu; I won't die."
"Hmph! What Moon God Khonsu? Some unknown mongrel. There is only one true God, and that is our supreme Kryptonian God, His Majesty Kytheron."
Hearing Zombie Moon Knight's words, Supreme Superman immediately retorted disdainfully. In his heart, Kytheron was the only true God.
Upon hearing the word "Kryptonian" from Supreme Superman, the Avengers couldn't help but wonder if this arrogant and boastful guy was truly Superman?
