The Green Lanterns, who can project the light of will, and Tony's armored legion, which are free of charge, are among the few "non-contact" combat units that Joey can think of.
If anyone else were to fight the zombie sentinels, they would likely be devoured alive, and being devoured alive would even be considered a perfect ending.
In case I get bitten—
This hypothesis sent a chill down the spines of everyone connected to the emergency communication channel.
"Superman, retreat immediately! I've already sent the Green Lantern Corps to pick you up; hand the scene over to them!"
Batman is most concerned about Superman's safety, especially after learning about the Sentinel's destructive power from the Human Torch, he is even more worried: "Don't engage him in close combat!"
"I should avoid him?!" In Joey's eyes, this was absolutely not an option: "We're about to storm downtown New York. Without me holding him back, how many people will this sentinel infect?!"
"We have no idea whether the zombie virus this zombie sentinel carries will affect you—if you want to eliminate or contain him, there are always other methods, the less risky ones!"
"This thing flies at least as fast as a Thunderbolt!"
Joey, still struggling to slow the Sentinel's breakthrough through the underground rock, threw another punch, this time causing the entire Brooklyn area above to shake slightly.
For Joey, this wasn't just a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with Batman's suggestion; he simply couldn't agree: "If I let go now, in a second, the entire Brooklyn, even the entire city of New York, would be awash in blood!"
The spread of the zombie virus is exponential, especially since this patient zero is a sentinel. Once Joey opens the floodgates, New York City will soon become a paradise for the walking dead!
"I don't care!"
—Batman actually cares deeply about every life in New York, but at this moment he has to disregard it, because someone has to remain calm when everyone's blood is boiling: "Stop fighting them hand-to-hand! If they get hurt, I'll take responsibility!"
Although Batman often does things that are not worth the risk and reward in the name of justice, the situation now is completely different from the past.
Having Superman engage in close combat with the other party carries an extremely high risk. Who can imagine what would happen if Joey were bitten and infected?
Batman would be willing to risk everything, not just the entire city of New York, but the entire state of New York or even all the northern states, to avoid this utterly unacceptable and terrible consequence.
He would rather deal with a completely unknown zombie virus that has infected most of North America and try to find a solution than face the rampaging Superman again!
"No way!" Joey immediately rejected Batman's extreme suggestion: "Wait for my signal, we'll storm into the city from underground right away!"
Joey once seriously discussed a question with someone online: if a zombie virus were to break out in the real world, could it become the ultimate disaster that destroys humanity?
The answer is, of course, no, because there are far more things in modern society than the human body that are indestructible.
Unless this virus can spread irrationally from a distance, it will be easily defeated by concrete and steel through blood transmission methods such as biting and tearing.
But all of this is based on the premise that zombies are also made of flesh and blood.
If the zombies were replaced by Sentinels, and other superheroes and supervillains with "unique physical abilities," it would become an unstoppable super zombie horde.
Aside from completely cleansing the Earth's ecosystem, there is probably no other way to eradicate the infection.
Even with his super vision, Joey couldn't figure out the mechanism of the zombie virus carried by the sentinel they were currently encountering. In the best-case scenario, the zombie virus was simply transmitted through blood.
Logically, the zero source of the zombie virus should have been like a tiny spark, insignificant, but if it splashed into a pot of oil, it could ignite a huge fire in an instant.
If we nip it in the bud before it causes a major disaster, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
Now, Joey doesn't know why the first source of the zombie virus he encountered was this thing—a Sentinel. It's not just a tiny spark; it's a super bio-bomb. If it exploded in the densely populated and talent-rich New York City, it would be completely out of control.
As his recovery time lengthened, the Sentinel's sanity seemed to return in sync; he was now able to speak in complete sentences: "You can't stop what's meant to happen!"
Along with this, the sentries' ability to utilize their own strength was also restored—
Currently, it appears that the zombie virus only makes the Sentinel more reckless and bloodthirsty, but has minimal impact on his intelligence.
Although Joey had temporarily entangled the Sentinel, he ultimately found it difficult to fully control the latter, who had already gone mad at the smell of fresh meat.
The Sentinel's power was now just as absolute as Joey's, and it dragged Joey to the surface, its momentum of breaking through the earth unstoppable.
With the support of the telekinetic field, it would be unrealistic for Joey to kill his opponent in a short period of time, no matter what. This difficulty is basically equivalent to killing a Kryptonian of equal strength with his fists without any "underhanded" methods.
In other words, Joey really couldn't do anything to him for a while until his "energy bar" was depleted.
As Joey was about to break through the surface, he looked up and saw a bustling commercial district above him, and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
He had no choice but to hastily use his thermal vision to draw a red circle in a brief, five-meter-square no-man's-land, scaring away the pedestrians around him.
With a loud crash, a huge hole burst open in the middle of the road. It was noon in Brooklyn, and the bustling crowd on the shopping street screamed.
"Don't worry, the vacuum cleaner is here!"
Because the school was in the next district, Spider-Man, who was the first to arrive at his position, was fortunate enough to see Superman's heat vision.
He conjured several gigantic vacuum cleaners using his green light ring, sucking the panicked crowd into dust bags, then slid them down a super-long elephant slide to another block several miles away: "If you liked this ride, please remember to give it a good review!"
"This is no time for jokes, Parker!"
The stern-faced Miguel led a dozen Spider-Lanterns who had returned just in time to unleash a green light curtain, pouring it layer upon layer, locking Joey, who was tightly embracing the zombie Sentinel, and the former together in a nested, restricted field.
To combat the Kryptonian army, Batman trained these Green Lantern Spider-Men in various combat techniques. Although they weren't used against the Kryptonian army, they still proved effective.
The energy burst from the struggle between Superman and the Sentry destroyed several barriers in succession.
Just as the protective barrier on the inner side shattered layer by layer, the Green Lantern Spider-Men, who were originally responsible for the inside, materialized more walls of will on the outside, limiting the aftershocks of the battle between the two to within a hundred meters.
Having failed to enjoy the buffet upon reaching the surface, the zombie sentinel, driven mad by hunger, cried out: "Your little tricks can't hold me back!"
Just as the zombie sentinel said, these layers of barriers could only slightly slow down his movements. He recklessly charged at the barriers projected by Green Lantern, and the barrier of his will, which was originally as solid as a rock, shattered one by one.
"We don't have enough people!"
Within seconds, even the dozen or so Spider-Lanterns present began to struggle, as the zombie Sentinels' power was too overwhelming and far beyond their ability to resist.
Look over here!
Seeing that the sentinel was in imminent danger of breaking through containment, Joey didn't hesitate any longer, even though he could only fight with his bare hands. He rushed over and elbowed the zombie sentinel in the waist, blocking its escape.
Meanwhile, the quick-thinking Spider-Man conjured a brick wall next to Joey, covered with all sorts of weapons, from maces and chainsaws to hunting knives, two-handed swords, and so on.
Spider-Lantern, who had orchestrated all of this, launched a megaphone and shouted, "Super super super super—people, get your weapons ready!!"
Without needing any prompting, Joey casually grabbed two large bricks from the wall and slammed them into the sentry's temples: "Take this!"
