Chapter 289 Endless War (3)
On your way home, you saw some strange-looking people, not suffering from radiation sickness. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here spoke English, and the desolate, vine-covered Hudson Bay and the Statue of Liberty, you would have reasonable reason to suspect this was another world.
On April 2030, 4, you returned to your home, a house in the suburbs of Flushing. Your supposed father seemed very busy and left after seeing you once. This was actually a good thing. Since you had assumed the identity of his son, you had been treading on thin ice to avoid revealing your own identity. However, your father was not around. Now, as long as you kept your mouth shut, it would be difficult for normal people to detect your identity.
April 2030th - May 4th, 30: This week, you've been adhering to the principle of speaking less, making fewer mistakes, gradually integrating into this world. With your natural and approachable nature, your relationships with those around you have greatly improved. Through trial and error, you learned that your nominal father is Daniel Zhou, coincidentally sharing your last name, and that he leads a large survivor organization called the Caribou Gang. Your name is Serent Zhou.
Since you haven't been outside this week, and your TV signal has been disconnected for most of the time, you've only learned a few things about this world: it's far more brutal than your previous life, dominated by revenge and struggle. In New York alone, six survivor groups are vying for resources. Your family doesn't appear to be affiliated with any supervillain organization, which puts them in a less favorable position—of course, this is just your guess. Feeling a sense of urgency, you ask your family members to procure a large number of tools, materials, and a computer, attempting to understand the world.
On May 2030, 5, through manual cable modification, your television set receives several new signals, which reveal a glimpse into the truth of the world. On the TV program, you witness a familiar green monster in a suit and tie, giving a speech and accepting responsibility for the energy weapon attack on Manhattan. Although the signal quickly cuts off, you still recognize his identity. Isn't this the Hulk from Marvel? And he's transformed into a highly intelligent, intelligent Hulk? You're shocked. When did Marvel become like this?
Zhou Ning's mouth twitched slightly at this. It was obvious. Sure enough, the map he'd drawn was the sequel to the Joker's journey through the flashback. In this world, the Joker's intrusion had caused the dark transformations of nearly every Avengers character, including the Hulk and the vampire Zhou Ning. No wonder the simulator indicated the subsequent map was hidden. He didn't know if this was good luck or bad luck.
The simulation continues.
From May 2030th to 5th, 12, driven by a strong sense of crisis, you used the materials at hand to create a sophisticated intelligent AI. You called it Jeanswest. Although it wasn't particularly impressive, you had the confidence to gradually perfect it.
After using Jeanswest to gather data, you learned more about this world. It's a world ruled by supervillains: two massive supervillain organizations, the Joker Gang and the Illuminati, dominate most of the Earth. The Joker Gang is comprised of supervillains like Bruce Banner, Aquaman, Dr. Lizard, and Doctor Octopus. The Illuminati, on the other hand, is a more complex organization, with its founder still unknown. Its main members include Steve Rogers (nicknamed "Injustice Superman"), Natasha Romanoff ("Black Widow"), Clint Barton ("Sniper"), Peggy Carter ("Iron Man"), and Dr. Zola, among others. The technological landscape of this world is also somewhat disruptive. It's no longer focused on people's livelihoods, but instead is divided into three categories: mecha, enhancement, and weapons. It's simply outrageous.
In this world, renowned scientists are primarily affiliated with these three factions. The Joker Gang primarily focuses on the Enhancement and Weapons factions. They possess methods for mass-producing Lizardmen and Mutants. Those bizarre creatures you saw upon your arrival were largely their creation. They also possess a terrifying long-range attack method, even as powerful as nuclear weapons. The Illuminati, originating from S.H.I.E.L.D. twenty years ago and comprised of former Avengers, possess methods for mass-producing Iron Man's suits and the production of third- and fourth-generation Super Soldier serums. What concerns you most is that Tony Stark, who possesses similar talents and a somewhat similar personality to you, appears to be absent from the group. He seems to have vanished, and even Jeanswest can't find any information about him.
On June 2030, 6, faced with a completely distorted Marvel universe, you had no choice but to try to fit in. This wasn't difficult for you, a self-assured person. After demonstrating some abilities, you gradually earned your nominal father's trust and began to gradually become involved in family matters. You learned that the Caribou Gang, founded by your father, was not affiliated with any supervillain organization, but was likely conducting some secret research and development. Perhaps this research had touched upon the interests of the Joker Gang, leading to their targeting. You suspect that the previously deceased Serent Chau met his end at the hands of mutants.
On June 2030, 6, while using Jeanswest to search online, you stumbled upon another AI. The search keywords were: "Beautiful women in swimsuits"—the design of your Jeanswest is somewhat similar, so it's likely Tony Stark's Jarvis. After a confrontation, he successfully concealed his presence, but you still managed to find some clues. He's probably hiding somewhere near Malibu.
June 2030, 6. You haven't tracked down any traces of Tony Stark these days, but on the afternoon of the 30st, you've managed to get access to what the Cariboo Gang is researching: several scientists who defected from the Joker Gang have brought with them methods for creating Lizardmen and Mutants. As a scientific genius, you're curious about this.
July 2030, 7 - September 5, 2030. The methods they brought proved to be genuine. Although they were dishonest and kept many secrets to themselves, you, along with Jeanswest's reverse engineering, spent two months reconstructing the original formula. Creating Lizardmen requires no technical skill at all; simply prepare the Lizard Potion and drink it. Creating Mutants requires a combination of the potion and gamma radiation. You speculate that this was a byproduct of their attempt to mass-produce the Hulk. When your supposed father asked if you wanted to become a Mutant, you decisively refused, saying meaningfully, "Rather than pursuing force, wisdom is my true and powerful weapon." (You learned the hidden alchemical formula: Lizardmen Potion.) (You learned the hidden alchemical formula: Mutant Potion.)
On September 2030, 9, the Caribou Gang rapidly grew in strength through the secret creation of mutants. Thanks to your exceptional camaraderie and formidable scientific capabilities, your status within the Caribou Gang has risen steadily. Originally considered merely the heir to Daniel Chow's fortune, you've now become the Caribou Gang's second-in-command. After four attempts to track Tony Stark on August 11, August 8, September 20, and September 8, you've finally pinpointed his location. Perhaps it's time to pay him a visit.

I don't have any drafts saved. It's a bit tiring to build a new world. I write very slowly, and it's a hundred times more painful than writing a real story. It should be just one chapter. Please give me some free gifts.
