R Batman Incident (III)
In a small alley in Queens, Peter hurriedly put on his Spider-Man suit and had a huge internal argument with Venom.
"If it weren't for that bat monster you created, New York wouldn't be under martial law! My God, is this a world war?"
"You're such a coward. If you ask me, we could take a long detour over New York City!" Venom said. "What are we afraid of, you coward? Nobody can hit us anyway."
Peter was practically exasperated. He said, "Listen to what they're saying! They're saying the Bat God is coming?! Please! I'm a spider! I hate bats!"
"Really? But I think that's pretty cool." Venom said casually. Peter rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "Okay, listen," he said, "I've already let you be Batman for a round, now it's my turn to be Spider-Man, and you can't interfere!"
Peter climbed to the top of a building and looked into the distance. It was completely dark now, but the whole city was submerged in the red glow of vampire eyes, especially near the Brooklyn Bridge, where countless bats were visibly battling ground troops.
Peter slapped his forehead and said, "What on earth is going on? Even if they misunderstood, there shouldn't be so many vampires suddenly appearing, right?"
"You really think this is all because of us? Obviously, they planned this all along. Didn't you investigate before? There are so many new vampires flocking to New York. Guess what they were originally planning?"
"You mean, they've been planning to invade New York for a long time?"
"This isn't my opinion," Venom said. "The trouble that's erupted in Queens has reached a point where things have escalated to a critical point. These monsters were already spotted in Hell's Kitchen weeks ago. Those new vampires in New York are completely unrepentant; they've messed with the wrong people..."
"Hell's Kitchen? Isn't Doctor Schiller in great danger? No! I have to go there now. His psychiatric clinic is poorly protected. I have to go and protect him!"
"It's too late for you now. He was already taken to Stark Tower the moment we arrived."
Peter breathed a sigh of relief, then put on the mask and said, "Oh well, they were planning to do bad things anyway, so it's not my fault. I'm going to be Spider-Man now."
Peter a Silk to get to the roof, and as he swung around, he exclaimed, "Oh ho! My good neighbor Spider-Man is here!"
Within minutes, he arrived near the battlefield where the fighting was most intense. There, a Legion vampires were high-level vampires with magical abilities. They seemed to be under command, and their tactical coordination was quite good, forcing the armed police to retreat step by step.
Spider-Man grabbed Silk, swung hard, kicked a vampire in the back, then rolled in the air, stepped on the back of a large bat, slammed it to the ground, and punched it several times.
They took down two vampires right off the bat, which naturally attracted the attention of the police. Queens Police Commissioner George was on the phone saying, "... Can we start the counterattack now? Okay! Got it! I've had enough of these sons of bitches for a long time!"
He shouted to the police at the front line, "Prepare for heavy firepower suppression! Machine gunners, prepare!!"
A policeman on the front lines shouted, "Look! It's Spider-Man! The Spider-Man who's going to fight all the vampires in the world!"
George cursed, put away his phone, and walked behind a riot shield. Watching Spider-Man- Man unleash his power, punching a bat in mid-air with a single blow, he said, "What are you standing there for? Get back to him! Focus on the bats that are landing! This is the perfect opportunity to take care of them!"
Then, he picked up a rifle and fired a shot at the nearest bat wing. The logistics personnel rushed over to restrain him, saying, "Director George, please return to a safe position. We have just received news that you are in charge of the three streets at the intersection of Queens and Brooklyn District. You must not get hurt!"
In the air, Peter rediscovered the tactical mindset that had been swirling in his head. Using the flash of gunfire, he gestured to the police, signaling for their cooperation.
Spider-Man spotted a truck that had just exploded on the roadside, wrapped his Silk around the vehicle twice, and then swung it around hard. The swarm of bats on the other side were about to organize their formation for another swoop, but they were instead hit by the truck and crushed under the heavy wreckage.
High-level vampires can teleport, but only if they aren't stunned by the impact. Spider-Man's attack came too suddenly. Of the five vampires, two were squeezed between the truck and the wall, and three were crushed under the truck, all temporarily losing their ability to move.
The police had already received Spider-Man's signal, and the machine gunners loaded a large number of silver bullets and unleashed indiscriminate firepower on the area, killing the five bats instantly.
Previously, the armed police were already frustrated by the inability to use heavy firepower, but now the snipers didn't care about that anymore and went straight for high-powered armor-piercing rounds. Bats flying in the air couldn't escape the eyes of these well-trained snipers. As long as a bullet grazed them, even if it only hit their wings, they would be either killed or seriously injured.
The tide of battle gradually turned, and humanity gained the upper hand, pushing the front line almost to the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge. However, advancing any further became more difficult.
The piers of the Brooklyn Bridge provided natural cover for the bats, and many of them hung upside down under the bridge to avoid heavy fire from humans on the shore. They would then swoop out and launch surprise attacks while the bats were reloading, making the battle a stalemate.
Spider-Man didn't have a good solution either, because bridges are different from streets. The distance between the two bridge piers was too far, so there was nowhere for him to swing around. He could only engage in close combat.
But this stalemate didn't last long. Soon, human armed helicopters entered the fray and began vying for air superiority with the bat army. Sometimes machine gun Burst Fire would sweep down, and several bats would fall, only to be finished off by ground troops. Other times, armed helicopters would be damaged by the bats, their rotors smoking as they crashed down.
Spider-Man was busy rescuing people at the plane crash site when the intensity of the aerial battle reached its peak. The reason was simple: Hawkeye, Quake, and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent had entered the fray.
Although Hawkeye is the weakest Avengers, he is still much stronger than ordinary people and police officers. He basically doesn't need to fire his arrows, and he has replaced them with high-powered silver Explosive Arrow. As long as he hits a bat, it will definitely incapacitate it.
Quake Daisy also very strong. In the comics, her abilities are quite formidable, and she even defeated Magneto when he was controlled by an energy being. However, she has only recently joined S.H.I.E.L.D.., and her abilities have not yet been fully unleashed. This is her first time participating in such a large-scale battle.
But she is well-suited to the current situation. She can use her shockwave frequency to coat the armed helicopter where Hawkeye is located with a shield. As long as any bats dare to get close, they will be blown away immediately, ensuring the safety of the main force's output.
Natasha was in another armed helicopter, where she was the overall commander of the air battle. The female agent shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Helicopter squad in the southeast direction, retreat immediately! Pull up! Those monsters under the bridge are charging up again!!"
She cursed in Russian and then said, "Contact the ground forces immediately and stop those monsters in the southeast. We can't afford to lose another squad."
"Also, why hasn't Spider-Man been connected to the communication system yet? Send someone to deliver a walkie-talkie to him immediately. I need to know the safety status of the pilot of the crashed helicopter..."
A moment later, Spider-Man's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Hello? Can you hear me? This is Spider-Man Channel, serial number 10611. I'm currently on the east side of the bridge. The helicopter pilot here has fallen into the water and is stuck in an underwater crevice. The situation is complicated, but my underwater mobility is limited. You need to send someone over quickly..."
Natasha was somewhat surprised because she knew Spider-Man's true identity. Spider-Man's usual style was to save those he couldn't save, showing a stubbornness that didn't matter if it would delay things.
Now, he's actually considering efficiency and asking for help, which is a huge improvement for a boy of this age.
Natasha immediately replied, "Don't go into the water. I repeat, don't go into the water. Blindly attempting a rescue without knowing the underwater conditions will backfire."
"We'll send specialists to rescue you immediately. You head west now; the fighting there is too intense. I need you to rescue the pilots of those two helicopters and get them back to the battlefield immediately. Remember, tell them to climb high before entering the area, or they'll definitely be shot down!"
Spider-Man left without hesitation, and soon the unfortunate pilot who had fallen into the water was rescued. By then, Spider-Man had already rescued the other two pilots.
He looked up and saw that the armed helicopter squad had suffered heavy losses. Of the nine armed helicopters that entered the field first, only three remained. If it weren't for Quake's protection, the three helicopters that Hawkeye and Natasha were in would probably have been shot down long ago.
Although humans have advanced technology, the giant bats have the advantage. They are numerous, quick to change their appearance, and once hit, they can immediately use magic to escape. Moreover, they have strong Self-Healing abilities and can return to the battlefield in no time.
Natasha frowned, observing the situation. Hawkeye shouted into the walkie-talkie, "This can't go on! I've seen that bat three or four times already! It's always him! At this rate, they'll never stop..."
At this moment, under the pitch-black night sky, swarms of bats hovered over the Brooklyn Bridge, like layers of terrifying curtains, shrouding the bridge and the river. The flashes of machine gun fire and the occasional screams made the scene even more horrifying.
A short while later, Jarvis's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "1200 special night vision devices have been deployed, and the UV emitter are being set up..."
Natasha said, "Leave two for me, don't drop them yet, let's give them a big one in the air!"
Then she shouted to the Quake, "Daisy, how long are you confident you can control a device that weighs about 120 kilograms?"
"Five minutes at most!" Daisy, dangling from the helicopter in a bodysuit, swatted a bat away with a wave of her hand. During a lull in the fighting, she said, "My ability is destruction! Not control! And I have to expend energy protecting this helicopter. If it's a device that requires precise operation, I can only control it for five minutes at most!"
"That's enough, Jarvis. Tell Stark that the target for the airdrop is Hawkeye's helicopter."
"Daisy, get ready. Once the equipment is in place, immediately control it to fly southeast, then stabilize it. It will only take three minutes at most... no, two minutes! You just need to hold on for two minutes, and we'll use the formation to force these bats over!"
At that moment, Natasha's voice came through Spider-Man's walkie-talkie. She said, "Spider-Man, try to create some commotion under the bridge, make those bats fly up, and try to drive them southeast, so that they stay in mid-air there for a while..."
"Watch me!"
Spider-Man hung up the call, leaped high into the air, and landed on the riverbank under the bridge. Countless black tentacles extended from his back, like a spider web, sticking to countless boulders on the riverbank and then slamming them down onto the bridge. Instantly, a Legion of bats took flight like startled sparrows.
"That was a cool move! Let's use an even bigger net, catch them, and throw it over there!"
Venom stuck one of its tentacles directly onto a bridge pillar, and then the black Slime erupted, forming a giant spider web.
Peter grabbed the spider web, swung it around a few times, and then threw it forward with a thud. Instantly, more than a dozen bats in mid-air were caught in the web. Peter hung from the top of the bridge pillar, and with another jerk, a Legion of bats was thrown into the range of the UV emitter in the southeast direction.
Natasha shouted, "Well done! Spider-Man! I underestimated you!"
