Chapter 273 The Four-Person Playhouse Group, and the Mysterious Man in the Dark!
"Let go of Lily! Let go of Lily, you bad guy!"
Just as Toby was astonished that this second-generation Iron Woman had actually developed an inhibitor against the zombie virus.
The other two people beside him were clearly unhappy with his rough actions and were pushing his body, trying to make him put down the iron heart he was carrying.
However, with their limited strength, it would be truly a miracle if they could actually move him.
However, Toby eventually let go of Ironheart and casually threw her on the ground.
Toby looked at the guy he had previously considered utterly useless, his eyes narrowing slightly, and a smile crept onto his lips:
"Congratulations! I've decided to give you a chance to live. As long as you follow me and serve me, you will receive my protection. Do you accept?"
Upon hearing this, it would be a lie to say that the three of them weren't tempted.
After all, they had just clearly seen how strong this guy was!
Even Captain Marvel, who is as powerful as a god, and that inorganic Superman couldn't put up a decent fight against this guy before they were defeated!
However, the three seemed somewhat conflicted, clearly indicating that they had their own ulterior motives.
Finally, Kate, who had been rescued by Toby earlier, stepped forward and said to Toby:
"Um... sir, we have no problem following you and are willing to do things for you. After all, having a strong person like you to protect us in this apocalypse is actually a very lucky thing for us..."
"But we actually have a very important task to accomplish on this trip. Could you help us achieve this goal first?"
Toby glanced at Kate, somewhat curious: "Tell me what it is."
In his opinion, what big deal could three little kids possibly cause?
Upon hearing this, Kate exchanged glances with the other two, and after they all agreed that Toby was a reliable adult, they nodded.
Tie Xin put two fingers to his lips and blew a sharp whistle.
The next second, Friday's nano armor, which Tie Xin had deliberately arranged as their backup, flew over from a distance.
Tie Xin reached out, and Friday's nanotech armor produced a miniature signal transmitter.
Tie Xin took the signal transmitter and explained to Toby, "This is something we retrieved from the Quinjet that crashed at S.H.I.E.L.D. a while ago. It's an interstellar signal transmitter shrunk by Pym particles. Based on the incomplete information we've deciphered, this is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s solution to the apocalyptic zombie virus..."
Kate continued, "That's right, but we have limited technical resources and can't fully decipher the contents of the signal transmitter. So we planned to send it to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base for complete decoding, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. base has been completely overrun in the years since the zombie virus outbreak..."
Kamala concluded with a broad smile, "Fortunately, Ironheart received a signal from S.H.I.E.L.D. in Ohio recently, which is why we embarked on this journey to save humanity!"
After hearing what the three said, Toby's expression turned somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect you three little brats to be so great..."
This is not sarcasm, nor is it a lie; Toby genuinely thinks so.
After all, in the movie, both Tie Xin's selfishness and Kamala's naivety left him with a bad first impression that these two guys were unreliable.
This is why he only saved Kate but not Ironheart, who was clearly being approached by zombies.
But now it seems that after a few years of the zombie apocalypse, these three girls aren't so selfish and naive anymore.
At least, it was enough for him to feel that she had some value.
When Kate and the other two heard Toby praise their greatness, they all looked at Toby with expectant eyes:
"So, sir, would you be willing to join us and work together to accomplish this mission to save humanity?"
Toby looked at the three of them and inexplicably felt like he was being invited to play a children's game of house.
However, he happened to be bored anyway, and it seemed like a good idea to accompany them on a post-apocalyptic journey.
Perfect timing! He also wanted to know what S.H.I.E.L.D. had in mind to deal with this zombie crisis.
If it really works, he can bring this method back to his own universe and implement it.
A slight smile slowly crept onto Toby's expressionless face. "Of course, what's that saying again? Oh, right, for humanity, it's our duty, isn't it?"
"However, I need to correct you. From now on, you are the new members, and I am the captain of this team."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately beamed with joy.
"Yay!"
"Long live the captain!"
"I finally survived!"
With Toby joining them, they are now full of confidence for this trip!
Perhaps this is the unique sense of security that only reliable adults can provide!
"By the way, Captain, we still don't know your name?"
"Captain, I think we need to find another means of transportation. Lily's car was just blown up..."
"Captain, I think I can have Friday fly around to see if there are any relatively intact vehicles. As long as they're not fundamentally damaged, I should be able to repair them!"
Listening to the chattering sounds around him, Toby felt as if he had entered another universe and was back in his dream of the Spider Family.
The various little spiders of the spider family would usually gather around this big spider and chatter away during their meetings.
"My name is Toby Parker, you can call me Toby or Mr. Parker, as for transportation, you don't need to worry about that, I'll take you directly to Ohio, but before that..."
As Toby finished speaking, his gaze shifted behind him, and the light in his eyes turned cold:
"You night elf hiding over there, if you don't come out soon, I'll blow the whole place you're hiding to smithereens, do you believe me?"
Upon hearing Toby's words, Kate and the other two instantly became alert, pointing their weapons in the direction Toby was looking.
It was a scene of ruins shrouded in darkness.
Under their gazes, a dark figure slowly rose from the ruins, then opened a pair of eyes that emitted a cold white light.
Seeing this, Kamala, the most timid of them all, couldn't help but take a step back, shielding Toby in front of her, and asked fearfully:
"Could it be another super zombie? I get a little shaky just looking at these glowing-eyed guys, what should I do..."
Although Kate and Ironheart did not back down like Kamala, their tense expressions revealed that they were thinking the same thing as Kamala.
I'm traumatized by this...
After all, just minutes before, they had almost died in a battle against two super zombies with equally glowing eyes.
However, Toby's expression turned strange as he looked at the pair of white, glowing eyes in the darkness.
After all, they might not be able to see the person's true appearance in the darkness, but with his super vision that could ignore the darkness, he could see it clearly.
The next moment, the figure in the darkness stepped out of the ruins, exposing itself to the moonlight, allowing Kate and the other two to see the person's appearance.
White robes, white armor, white blades, and even a white crescent moon on his chest, along with his signature white bandages wrapped around his face—this was none other than the Moon Knight's attire!
But... unlike the usual image of Moon Knight, this Moon Knight, although also dressed entirely in white, has a black face!
He is... the Moonblade Knight!
