Peter actually knew exactly where Wolverine was—somewhere in this area too.
The electricity required for large-scale cloning was enormous. As long as someone had the means to investigate, in a world with no ultra-high-tech companies besides Osborn Industries, they could easily find Wolverine by tracking power consumption. And he was most likely stealing electricity or siphoning it off.
And Peter had found only one site with such a concentrated electrical current. As for the Wolverine in the laboratory above, calculations from the nanotech suit and other equipment had made it abundantly clear that he was a fake. In that case, the real Wolverine had to be hiding somewhere here.
"And you think he's hiding deep underground? So we have to keep going down this elevator shaft with no end in sight?"
Peter and Gwen climbed down the elevator shaft together. Peter offered some wisdom from experience. "Well... it's mostly based on experience. I've run into two villains who could clone people: Mr. Sinister and Doctor Octopus. Without exception, they both liked digging out underground spaces for their experiments, so I figured Wolverine would probably make the same choice. I hope I'm not wrong."
"Fine. Then if we find Wolverine later, can I handle him?"
"Of course. I figure he can only be left to you, Gwen."
Peter's reasoning had its basis. Back on Earth-65, Gwen had been deeply involved in Spider-Gwen's final battle without triggering any Web-War. Her ability was enough to make the entire world forget her. If the whole world forgot her, then naturally she would not cause any complications.
Since that was the case, Peter naturally supported Gwen personally stepping in and beating the other side senseless in order to avoid triggering a Web-War. Gwen was also looking forward to giving that pervert Wolverine a vicious beating.
