Osborne Megacorp

At the critical moment, the isolation board that had been arranged fell down instantly, isolating the returning explorers who were "waiting for food".

Although these boards are transparent, they are strong enough to resist cannonballs, and they are also magically attached to isolate invisible things.

"What the hell is this..." Tony was stunned.

Where can those explorers call people: the jaw is opened far beyond what a normal person can open, the cheeks on both sides are torn, and there is freshly bitten flesh and blood in the mouth.

These zombies hit the isolation board hard, so hard that their cervical vertebrae were broken.

However, a broken head does not affect their pursuit of prey at all - it is just that this isolation board is a bit hard, and the isolation board can stop them.

"Oh my God...you don't have this kind of genetic enhancement technology, right? Can you still move your head if it's severed?"

"...Actually, there is, but it definitely has nothing to do with our company."

"Really?" Tony was a little suspicious, "I think these people are quite similar to the cyberpsychotics from previous years - are you sure it's not abnormality in the prosthetic body?"

"You also said it was a few years ago - do you think it's still there now? And they don't have that kind of prosthetic body - have you ever seen anyone serving a sentence with a gun?"

"No, but these people look familiar to me... They are really cyberpsychotics from the past..."

Tony asked Jarvis to look through the database and found that these people were really caught killing people because of cyberpsychosis.

Banner couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the two of them: "Ahem, you two, how about we just focus on the matter in front of us?"

Although it looked scary, Harry could tell what it was at a glance - quantum virus, a mysterious virus with unknown existence.

Theoretically, this virus directly interferes with human consciousness and body, directly causing biological consciousness to mutate. Except for the first infected person, the main mode of transmission is blood transmission.

Generally speaking, it only happens to people who have been in the quantum realm for a long time. It seems that these explorers are not very lucky.

"Of course - report the damage to the equipment."

"Check completed, data has been uploaded."

Everyone present received the preliminary diagnosis results - it seemed to them that a lot of things happened in the lifting process of just a few seconds.

The equipment on nine explorers was bitten, and the situation with the remaining one was more complicated.

Part of his equipment "disappeared", directly causing the psychic equipment to fail. It seems that this is the reason why the quantum virus takes effect.

After carefully watching the action recording footage, everyone finally discovered that the reason was probably because they encountered an inconspicuous cloud-like wave during the exploration process. These waves entangled the equipment and assimilated the equipment into material waves, causing the equipment to malfunction.

You must know that most of these explorers are death row prisoners and have never experienced spiritual awakening. Once the device fails, they will lose their spiritual protection.

"So is this... what Pym meant by being lost in the quantum realm?" Harry thought thoughtfully.

The quantum realm begins to erode human beings from consciousness, and then induces DNA mutations. This process looks a bit like the investigators in the Cthulhu novel who change their form after seeing an indescribable object, except that becoming a zombie is much more elegant.

"What now? This virus looks very... unfavorable for exploration." Tony asked.

It would be fine if we were just borrowing time and space travel from the quantum realm, but if we want to set up a base in the quantum realm, this becomes an issue that we have to consider.

But Harry was not worried about this. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I probably understand how to deal with them. Let's first see if the consciousness of the AL at the base is normal."

After completing the inspection, Oyins said: "Everything is normal, and the spiritual energy transmission is stable. However, there is indeed a situation where matter is converted into matter waves on the periphery of the base. If we continue to use nanorobots for maintenance, this problem should be solved."

"I can still do some optimization." Tony said after reading the data simulation, "Now let's talk about how to deal with this virus."

Harry called up the prepared plan in the database and asked Oyins to execute it.

"Use robotic arms to control these people and modify their bodies."

As Harry finished speaking, the mechanical hands that had been prepared restrained these explorers, stripped off their clothes, and began to repair the damaged structures.

Quantum viruses seem so powerful that in several multiverses, zombified heroes have taken over the world.

But in fact, its main difficulty is the "superhero zombies".

The quantum virus will zombify the consciousness of superheroes, but they will not lose their abilities, nor will they forget how to use them, and they will even become very skilled in using them. This is the most troublesome thing.

Now these 10 explorers, let alone superheroes, don't even have a combat prosthetic body. They have received longevity genetic optimization and are really not a threat.

Under Oyins' control, medical equipment repaired the damage to their limbs and injected a large number of nanorobots into their internal organs, waiting to be activated.

"Then what? They shouldn't be able to return to normal just because their bodies have been...repaired, right?"

"Of course further treatment is needed - there is a brain problem, and it is not a particularly difficult disease for Osborne to cure."

In the Marvel drama "What If", the world is infected precisely because of the invasion of the quantum virus and the Avengers' willfulness.

It is almost impossible for ordinary zombies to paralyze the country, but it is not necessarily the case for these powerful superheroes.

At the end of the episode, Vision discovers that the Mind Stone can inhibit the activities of zombies. If conditions permit, he may even develop an antidote to return zombies to normal.

And now...the Osborne Group has the Mind Stone, and the conditions are very generous to allow Harry to conduct various researches.

The mechanical arm was suddenly inserted into the zombies' heads, and the psychic energy pipes were connected.

Holding the four Infinity Stones, Harry easily located their contaminated consciousness, and then cut off this part of their consciousness.

The zombies that were howling a second ago stopped instantly. The nanorobots in their bodies started simultaneously, cutting off their mutated main organs and replacing them with artificial ones.

The DNA before these people's exploration had already been recorded in Eucalyptus by the group, and it was not difficult to copy a semi-mechanical prosthetic body.

After one operation, these pioneers were completely replaced from internal organs to skin and even blood vessels, and even several chips were implanted in their brains.

In the hands of the Osborn Group, humans are just slightly more sophisticated machines - in a sense, even outdated machines.

After watching the whole process, Tony couldn't help but smacked his lips: "It looks...like a real-life version of the Ship of Theseus."

"Not entirely. The ship of Theseus has no consciousness. At least their consciousness is their own, and this set of prosthetics is worth a lot of money on the market."

Not only is it valuable, 12 years ago, this prosthetic body was more than enough to buy the entire New York City.

But, society is progressing.

Oyins said through telepathy: "Sir, the operation process has been posted on the Internet--our behavior of saving the death row prisoner has received rave reviews online."

"Very well, let's arrange new jobs when they wake up - the sentence is not over yet."
