Chapter 1810

Finally, several people determined a means most likely to be effective against ghosts, and that is solar radiation interference, referred to as ultraviolet lamps.

A characteristic of ghosts mentioned in the vast majority of ghost movies is the fear of light. The vast majority of ghosts are active at night. Weaker ones will be sun-dried to nothing as soon as they come out during the day. Stronger ones won't be killed by sunlight after possession, but they also hate sunlight, and they have to wait until night to report any grudges.

The two Spider-Men worked together to make an ultraviolet lamp. This kind of thing is really too simple for Spider-Man, so they originally intended to make one with maximum power, but were stopped by Helen.

Helen explained it this way: once the power is too high and the ultraviolet light directly kills the ghost, the zombie superhero will regain their strongest weapon, which is their brain, and they will rack their brains to spread the zombie virus again.

So it is necessary to achieve damage without killing, just making the ghost feel disgusted, and it is enough to be used to drive the ghost away.

Spider-Man tested it several times, and during the period, he found a small ghost that had been transmitted and was wandering nearby to test it. He finalized an intensity that was almost enough to influence the ghosts on the superheroes and manufactured the equipment.

Then a strange scene appeared on the streets of New York—a group of people holding equipment like a large searchlight, chasing a group of strange superheroes with exposed gums and running wildly.

The first one they found was still Captain America. At that time, he crashed through the railing of the Hudson River and fell into the river water. The two Spider-Men carried the ultraviolet irradiation lamp, scalding him until he screamed repeatedly, and he ran in the opposite direction regardless of everything.

Seeing that the combat plan was effective, the four people divided into two groups. Considering the possibility of zombie Spider-Man losing control, Helen, who had long-range skills and was the most powerful among the four, was in a group with him, and the normal Spider-Man and Eddie were in a group.

The goal of the two groups was to drive the members of the zombie Avengers transmitted to this universe to a designated location in New York respectively.

And just as Helen expected, the members of the Avengers of this universe soon noticed the abnormality.

They didn't know that in the previous several cycles, they had turned into zombies because of this group of brutal outsiders, and some superheroes even lost their lives because of this. The Avengers, who didn't realize the danger was coming, actually only sent a Hawkeye to check the situation.

Fortunately, the situation here was indeed unexpectedly weird. They had seen people fighting with guns and cannons, but they hadn't seen people holding a lamp and chasing people while fighting.

And once interest was aroused, it was even more strange when looking closely. The side chasing people was strange, and the side being chased was even stranger. They were all wearing superhero uniforms, but their mouths were dripping with blood, their sanity was abnormal, they were screaming while running, and their running movements were also very strange, as if they had just acquired limbs for the first time.

The rest of the members of the Avengers were solving the monster invasion incident reported by S. H. I. E. L. D. in New York City, and S. H. I. E. L. D. was working hard to investigate the ghost sighting reports that had increased sharply within twelve hours.

Although Hawkeye described the weird situation he saw as much as possible, in the end, only Captain America brought Spider-Man to handle it.

At this time, the two small teams with high efficiency had already driven the main members of the zombie Avengers to the suburbs. The four people took turns holding the ultraviolet lamp and kept turning around these zombies, which stunned Captain America and Spider-Man standing on the high building.

The screams that came from time to time from this weird formation, but the serious and earnest attitude made it hard not to remind people of cult rituals. Out of caution, Captain America didn't dare to go down for a while.

They weren't in a hurry, but someone else was. Zombie Spider-Man saw that the superheroes were actually standing by, and immediately became angry. He threw the ultraviolet lamp in his hand to the other Spider-Man, made a big jump to the side of the stairs of the building, and then quickly climbed to the roof.

Before he opened his mouth to speak, he keenly noticed the vigilance in the body movements of Captain America and Spider-Man. The stern and righteous words were swallowed before they reached his mouth.

Finally, Helen jumped up and explained the situation to the two superheroes of this universe.

But after all, after the universe was reset, these superheroes had no memory. They didn't know the seriousness of the matter and didn't intend to call for support, but wanted the four people to go back to the Avengers base with them to get equipment.

Several people knew that this must be their consideration out of vigilance. After all, these four people didn't look like good people. One was Venom who was often an anti-hero, one was a little girl with abnormally great strength, one was a Spider-Man who turned into a zombie, and the only remaining normal Spider-Man didn't look as sunny and cheerful as other Spider-Men.

Actually, according to Helen's idea, she would open her big mouth and eat all these zombie superheroes, and the crisis would be solved. But this idea was simply rebellious when there were two Spider-Men in the team. Spider-Man wanted to save everyone, and the only sacrifice he could tolerate was himself.

Thus, both Spider-Men decided to cooperate with the normal Avengers. Venom found it annoying, and Helen also felt that the Avengers without crisis awareness were not that reliable.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement. Helen and Venom watched these zombie superheroes here first, and the two Spider-Men accompanied Captain America and the Spider-Man of this universe back to the Avengers base to get capture equipment. After the Avengers took the zombies away, the two sides parted ways.

It's not that they broke up because of this, it's just that each used their own methods to solve the crisis. Actually, zombie Spider-Man also knew clearly in his heart that Helen and Venom were probably already wanting to do something.

After the few real superheroes left, Venom turned to look at Helen and asked: "Little girl, what are you trying to do sneakily? When you blinked at me fiercely just now, I thought you had sand in your eyes."

"Less nonsense, you piece of mud. These superheroes are courageous and compassionate. The only problem is that they are too pedantic many times. How does that saying go? Handle special matters specially."

"Do you have a method to solve the zombie virus immediately?" Venom said while carrying the lamp and turning around: "Developing an antidote requires a venue, equipment, and time. If we don't cooperate with the Iron Man of this universe, what else can we do?"

"You really have unforgettable feelings for your previous host." Helen inherited the sharp tongue of both Stark and Loki, and poked Venom's soft spot mercilessly. She said: "You'd better not be trying to take this opportunity to rekindle old feelings with Iron Man."

"Who wants to rekindle old feelings with this rotten person?!!" Venom was furious.

"Alright, calm down. I do have a plan, but I have to find a way to communicate with Dr. Shiler first because if it is indeed him who is controlling the ghosts to possess the superheroes, then this plan cannot do without his help."

"How do you communicate with him? We don't know his phone number. Wait, you aren't trying to..."

Not long after, Captain America of this universe returned with three Spider-Men. They brought the special life-support pod provided by Iron Man for the Avengers, which was used to capture some super criminals with special existence states, such as Sandman who could change forms at will.

The ghosts on the zombie superheroes were tortured by the existing sunlight and ultraviolet light to be somewhat weak, but they still controlled the sanity of the zombie superheroes, making them unable to fully recover their sanity. This led to them having neither physical strength nor intelligence, and the capture process was considered smooth.

Captain America took the three Spider-Men, loaded the zombie superheroes they had knocked down into the life-support pod, and lifted them into the plane.

Watching the S. H. I. E. L. D. plane gradually go away, Helen waved her hand and said to Venom: "Let's go, we have to prepare some things first."

Then, Helen began to take Eddie shopping on the commercial street in Manhattan, New York. She bought a lot of strange things. In addition to animal blood and viscera purchased in the fresh market, there were slate, ink, ballpoint pens, and even bought a lot of gold.

"Fortunately, I didn't forget to bring money when I went out." Helen counted the remaining banknotes in her hand and said: "Also fortunately, the dollars in this universe look the same as in our universe."

"What are you buying these things for?" Eddie looked at the large and small bags in his hand with some confusion, really unable to imagine these things forming the appearance of a zombie virus antidote.

Helen didn't explain very confidently, but turned to ask him: "As a reporter, you often work around New York, so do you know if there are any abandoned buildings or haunted buildings that people often talk about around here? It's best to be hospitals and clinics."

"I am a current affairs reporter, not those gossip tabloids... Alright, let me think. I seem to have heard a colleague of mine say before that when he was working part-time at the Paranormal Midnight Channel, he heard the legend of an abandoned hospital in the Bronx..."

About ten minutes later, Helen stood on the roof of a building, pointed to a building on the skyline and said: "This is the abandoned hospital you mentioned, right? It looks gloomy even during the day. Okay, that's it. Let's go."

Eddie followed Helen's footsteps without knowing why, and the two walked into the abandoned hospital together.

After entering, Eddie shivered. He looked left and right and said: "Why is it so cold here? This universe should still be summer, right?"

"It's right to be cold." Helen snapped her fingers and said: "You've watched so many horror movies, don't you understand yet? This is the so-called yin energy, and it is also the magnetic field that ghosts like most."

Eddie felt his scalp tingling. He rubbed his arms and said to Helen: "Whatever you want to do, do it quickly. This place is very wrong. The legend might be true."

"Legend? What legend?"

Eddie hesitated for a while and said: "Medical accident. It is said that the dean of this hospital violated regulations to seek profit and admitted a mental patient with a very special situation. As a result, this patient killed thirteen or fourteen medical staff with a gun and jumped off the building himself."

"Since then, people have always said that there are ghosts in the ward where the shooting occurred. The light bulbs are often not working, and things placed on the table will also be knocked down. The dean didn't believe these, but the frequent accidents still caused the hospital to close down within two years."

"The weird thing is that the dean who entered this ward also committed suicide a year later. Since then, no one dared to approach this hospital. No one knows what the truth is. In short, there are different opinions."

"That's right." Helen said very happily: "Which ward did this patient live in at the beginning? Let's go over now."

"Hey hey! Wait! Are you really going over? What if there are really ghosts there? Hey, wait, don't run so fast..."

Helen rushed to the haunted ward mentioned by Eddie like flying. After opening the door, she began to draw strange patterns on the ground with fresh blood, and then put the large pile of things she bought on the ground one by one.

Eddie watched Helen's movements very confusedly. He stood with his hands on his hips and stared at Helen's movements, asking: "What are you doing?"

Helen didn't raise her head and said: "You've watched so many horror movies and can't guess? I'm summoning souls."

"Summoning souls? Summoning whose soul?"

"Of course it's Shiler's."
