Another World

Inside the cave.

Stark's armor was stripped off, and his twisted limbs were soaked in a green liquid by Animo.

"Your healing potion works quite well. Who invented it?"

Animo took down the somewhat old monocular microscope, carefully placed it aside, and wrapped it with an alcohol swab.

"With some of the medicines I invented, he'll be fine soon."

"It's Benny and Dr. Connors."

Peter's skull had healed, but he still couldn't believe that Doctor Animo, who had once caused such a ruckus in New York, was actually a good person in this world.

"They drew inspiration from lizard stem cells."

"A brilliant idea!"

Animo exclaimed, "I knew my animal friends would come in very handy!"

He stood up excitedly, then belatedly realized:

"Wait, you have Omnitrix, but you're not Ben Tennyson?"

Tian Xiaowen also stood up and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Me? I'm not," Peter dejectedly, still wearing his Spider Suit, sitting on a small chair with his toes pointed inward, his hands tucked between his thighs.

"I wish I were him... Benny is different from me. I always mess everything up, but he succeeds at everything."

"But your watch?"

"It's a replica made by the Benny," Peter said, scratching his head.

"Copy the Omnitrix?" Animo was greatly shocked. He quickly walked to Peter's side, and with his withered hand, like an old witch, swept across Peter's wrist, pulling the watch off and examining it repeatedly.

"That's true. Limited capacity, simple functions... and it can be easily removed."

He confirmed that it was indeed a counterfeit.

Because he had once owned the outer ring of a watch, and even just that ring possessed technology that was beyond his comprehension and ahead of its time.

Even so, being able to replicate a watch requires at least the talent of Albedo's caliber.

Furthermore, considering the healing potion developed by the other party, Animo felt that if the two of them could cooperate, they might be able to invent a cure for the zombie virus!

He forcefully shoved the watch back into Peter's arms and then said, "Where is the real Ben Tennyson?"

"Not Ben Tennyson, it's Ben Parker." Peter shook his head. "He's in another world."

"The entire Galactic Plumbers can help with the research on the potion," Eunice said. "We have territories in dozens of star systems, countless scientists, and the artificial intelligence Azmuth. Doctor, you just need to synchronize the data to Azmuth's cloud, and all the Plumbers researchers will immediately begin their research."

"That won't do!"

Animo shook his head.

"Having too many researchers isn't a good thing. Once I synchronize the zombie virus data, who knows if there might be some crazy guys among those countless scientists? What if they secretly replicate the virus?"

There are now less than six hours left.

Developing an antidote may be impossible, but replicating the zombie virus is quite easy.

Peter was deeply moved by Animo's speech.

At a time like this, he can still think about the safety of other worlds; Doctor Animo is truly a good person.

"In that case, we'll have to notify Benny separately. Hopefully, he'll have time."

Peter sent a message to Ben.

While waiting, I was also a little curious, feeling a bit itchy. "Perhaps we can learn something from the source. Can you tell me what happened in your world?"

Tian Xiaowen glanced at Animo Animo, who impatiently picked up the lenses again, put them on, and started fiddling with the medicine.

"I don't have time for that!"

"Then let me speak." Tian Xiaowen leaned against the hard stone wall. She looked to be around thirty years old, but the Ben Tennyson they saw today looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

But she was actually the other person's cousin.

"I remember it was a summer vacation, and Grandpa took me and Benny on a trip in his Rust Bucket RV..."

Tian Xiaowen spoke slowly.

The Matt she mentioned sounded just like Uncle Ben.

When she talked about how she and Benny couldn't stand each other and were constantly arguing and teasing each other, the expression on her face was clearly one of happiness.

family.

Peter thought to himself.

"He obtained the watch from outer space and went on to fight evil forces, also taking care of Doctor Animo, who wanted to turn Washington into a prehistoric world..."

"Just as I expected..." Peter thought.

He has been to the Multiverse, so he knows a lot of things, and many people live similar lives in different universes.

"Later, Vilgax came... I never imagined that Grandpa was a Plumbers."

Peter nodded in agreement. "Uncle Ben is Plumbers too."

But Uncle Ben really is a Plumbers.

Harry listened with great interest as Tian Xiaowen recounted the enemies they encountered during their summer vacation, how Ben Tennyson used Alien Hero to defeat villains, or how she got into trouble.

But he was also confused.

"It should have been a happy story, so why did it turn out like this?"

Tian Xiaowen's face darkened. "Until one day, everything changed."

"A virus of unknown origin swept across the world, and all those infected turned into cannibals, seemingly driven mad."

"So, Ben Tennyson was also infected?"

"Yes, but at the same time as he was infected with the zombie virus, another virus also invaded his body," Tian Xiaowen said. "That thing is called the Murder Pathogen. It changed part of the structure of the zombie virus, turning Benny into a half-human, half-zombie living dead with self-awareness."

"No wonder he didn't seem to be constantly yelling 'I'm hungry' like the other zombies."

Peter recalled.

The zombie Tian Xiaoban was fully capable of communicating with them and showed no thirst for blood.

On the contrary, the other side also seems to want to end the Zombie Universe, but they have chosen a different method.

"He wanted to end the spread of the zombie virus by eliminating all the infected, even my grandfather was..."

Tian Xiaowen's voice grew softer and softer until she finally buried her face in her knees.

Pietro opened his dry lips, as if to say: Based on his many years of experience watching zombie movies, he was probably right to do what Ben Tennyson did.

But he wasn't foolish enough to say it out loud.

Besides, what if Wanda were the one turned into a zombie? Could he bring himself to kill his beloved sister?

No one knew how to comfort Tian Xiaowen, but at that moment Eunice's eyes suddenly flickered, as if she had received some kind of signal.

She had actually been keeping Ben informed about the situation here.

In another universe.

Ben listened to Tian Xiaowen's story from beginning to end and grasped a key point.

"Has Ben Tennyson become a living dead?"

"Eunice, I can't help you right now, but if everything Xiaowen just said is true, then you have a chance to defeat the zombie Ben Tennyson."

Zombie Universe.

Eunice's eyes lit up, and her face lit up with joy.

"I know what to do!"

We can steal his watch!

"It's no use, that watch can't be taken off," Animo replied casually.

This was something he knew before Ben Tennyson was even infected.

"However, the Omnitrix's locking mechanism and various protective mechanisms are based on the wearer's genes. The zombie Tian Xiaoban is half-dead, and his cells have already deteriorated."

We can take his watch!
