Hill took the bottle of zombie poison antidote and looked at it for a few moments. She knew that although Guan Heng spoke carelessly, he was an expert when it came to eliminating zombies.

"Thank you," Hill said. "The Director will probably also calm down his low mood from being extorted by you, haha." The ice beauty suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled. For some reason, in front of Guan Heng, although there were times when she was angry, there were also moments of happiness.

At this moment, Guan Heng picked up the Three-Piece Equipment Mold on the lab table and examined it carefully. These molds were crafted by scientists based on his own blueprints. One was a scabbard for his back, the special seat for the Chengying Sword; another was a Special Knuckle Duster for his left hand, gleaming with dazzling cold light, as if it could shatter all evil powers, inside and out.

Finally, there was a belt that closely resembled those of boxing champions, with a disc in the middle. The disc was several centimeters thick and had retractable storage compartments inside to hold Guan Heng's Corpse Storage Bag. This way, nothing would be missed, and in a critical moment, the belt could be detached and secured to the chest with cross straps, becoming a sturdy Heart Protector that could withstand ordinary guns, cannons, swords, and even superpower attacks.

This belt had taken up most of Guan Heng's thoughts. Now, seeing the molds, he felt quite satisfied. "I didn't expect I'd also be a Genius Designer, haha."

On the lab table, besides the molds already made in equal weight proportions, there were also some Metal Scraps. Guan Heng pointed at them and asked, "Those are the remaining materials from the Adamantium equipment prepared for me, right?"

The scientist in the laboratory nodded. Guan Heng smiled, "Then what do you plan to make for me with the remaining equal weight alloys?"

Hill frowned and said, "Your three-piece set is enough with those alloys. We planned to take the remainder back to the warehouse."

Guan Heng shook his head and said, "That won't do. These alloys were prepared for me in a fixed quantity. They must all be used on me, without a single bit left over. You all wait." As Guan Heng spoke, he picked up a pen and quickly drew a pattern of a Small Flying Knife on a piece of paper, handing it to the scientist.

With a smile on his face, Guan Heng said, "I estimate that the remaining materials should be enough to make six such flying knives. If there isn't enough, the Knife Hilt can be made of Inferior Alloy."

Hill was almost angered to death. She said irritably, "Guan Heng, are you sure you're not the Illegitimate Child of that greedy old Chinese Restaurant owner, Old Man Gao? Your attitude when asking for things is exactly the same."

Guan Heng shook his head, "How could that be? He looks vulgar and disgusting. I'm a Fresh Meat." Then he clapped his hands. "The flying knives will solve my lack of Ranged Attack Method. This is just perfect. Since the molds have been made, I'll just wait for the genuine alloy equipment to be produced."

Hill helplessly shook her head, "Then you'll have to wait a few days."

"Oh, right. Where's my S.H.I.E.L.D. supervisor, Aunt Kou? I haven't heard any news about her yet." Guan Heng said with a sly smile. "Uncle Phil wouldn't have died in the line of duty, would he?"

"Stop your Jinxing!" Hill rolled her eyes irritably. "He's been very busy lately negotiating with Iron Man about forming the Avengers. Besides, you've already independently resolved several cases, so you don't need his Guidance and Supervision for now. You just wait for him to finish his busy period."

Seeing Hill's somber expression, Guan Heng suddenly chuckled softly, "Hill, do you think I'm very greedy?"

Hill shrugged her shoulders. Although she didn't speak, her meaning was clear. Guan Heng walked in front of her with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "But I don't think my request is excessive."

Guan Heng spread his hands and spoke eloquently, "I went from being a Freelancer wandering Outside of Black and White to suddenly joining S.H.I.E.L.D., and I was immediately labeled with a Positioning Tag. From then on, I had to confront all sorts of Dangerous Evil Forces. Super Villains can disregard human lives wantonly, but I have to fight them with nothing but my Flesh and Blood Body, while also considering Citizen Safety. You know how dangerous that is. Not to mention, I also have to deal with zombies. From now on, my life is hanging by a thread."

Clearing his throat, Guan Heng continued, "My demands are not high. While protecting others, I just want to live a longer life myself. Only then can I continue to contribute to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Justice. So, a few pieces of equipment can help me, and it's really not much for you."

Seeing that Hill's expression had softened after listening to him, Guan Heng continued, "Hill, whether it's advice as a friend or concern from a subordinate to a superior, I want to tell you not to let Indifference consume your Body and Mind, because the end of Indifference is darkness."

Just as Hill was about to say something, an Agent suddenly knocked and entered, "Director Hill, there's a guy wearing a strange Green Coat causing trouble at the Carnival Venue and throwing bombs everywhere."

"What?" Hill was greatly surprised. At this time, all capable agents were out on Field Duty, and there was no Manpower available. She turned to look at Guan Heng. "Sigh, Guan Heng, you go handle it. Control the scene."

"Sure thing!" Guan Heng readily agreed, adding, "Please hurry up and make my equipment. I'll be going ahead."

Exiting the S.H.I.E.L.D. Gate, Guan Heng found his Motorcycle for Commute and said, "Activate the Intelligent Navigation System and ascertain the location of the Carnival Venue."

The Small Screen directly above the motorcycle immediately displayed a Map of New York City, with a flashing Red Dot indicating the Fastest Path to the venue.

Guan Heng whistled, "Let's go! Motorcycle, lightning fast, heading straight for the Carnival Venue!"

Not long after, Guan Heng arrived at his destination on his motorcycle. He casually drew the Chengying Sword hanging at his side, slinging it over his shoulder. At this moment, he saw a blue and red figure swinging on spider silk in mid-air, fighting vigorously with a green toad riding a skateboard.

It was Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. Guan Heng looked up at the sky and thought, "Good, the real opponents are already fighting. I'll just watch the fun for now."

"Hey, Green Monster, you've already ruined the nice Carnival Venue!" Spider-Man shouted. "You almost hurt my friend. I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Just moments ago, Mary Jane had narrowly escaped disaster due to the Green Goblin's bombs. Peter had made an Emergency Transformation into Spider-Man, which saved her. His Beloved Woman had been harmed, and the young, passionate Young Hero was enraged. He immediately attacked the Green Goblin.

"Ignorant little crawler, you think you can stop me?" the Green Goblin cackled sinisterly. "First, let you and those below taste my Pumpkin Bomb feast!" With that, he continuously threw bombs at the crowd. "Oh no!" Spider-Man only had two hands. Although he constantly shot webs, sticking the unexploded bombs to the wall, he was ultimately Unable to Attend to All Needs. One bomb rapidly flew towards the dense crowd.

Chapter 0023

Just as the Pumpkin Bomb was about to explode in the crowd, suddenly, an Extremely Fast figure rushed out from the side.

This person was Guan Heng. He swung his Chengying Sword with both hands. With a loud bang, the bomb that Guan Heng had exerted all his strength to hit exploded in mid-air.

Guan Heng looked at the fireworks exploding in mid-air and shouted, "Haha! Now broadcasting live the Grand League Finals! Yankee Stadium, Top of the Ninth Inning! Huaxia's Strong Dragon Team's Cleanup Hitter, Guan Heng, with a beautiful Walk-off Home Run! Cover the whole audience with cheers, everyone!"

In an instant, the crowd that had escaped the bombs truly erupted in cheers. "Great! We've been saved!"

Spider-Man, who was fighting the Green Goblin, Breathed a Sigh of Relief. "Guan Heng is here! Finally, we can switch from Defensive Parry to Active Offense!" Chak-chak, two webs shot towards the Green Goblin. "Hey, Caterpillar, taste this!"

"Stinky brat, what can you do to me?" the Green Goblin shouted arrogantly. He stepped on his Flying Skateboard and suddenly dodged the webs. Unexpectedly, Spider-Man performed an Aerial Kick, kicking towards the Green Goblin's chest. The latter was Unable to Dodge and fell off his skateboard with a plop.

Spider-Man also used too much force, and his body flew out, colliding head-on with Guan Heng, bang!

Guan Heng muttered in a low voice, "Peter, you Reckless Fellow! Do you want to smash my head? I'm dressed so Tightly, and you can still recognize me?" Spider-Man Greatly Surprised.

"Nonsense! I smelled that familiar Sweat Smell of Three Days Without Bathing on you. Who wouldn't know you're Peter Parker?" Guan Heng Made Up Casually. "Let's stop the nonsense and deal with this Green Goblin first."

"Your head is really hard! You made my nose bleed!" Spider-Man lifted his mask and wiped it with a tissue, casually throwing it on the ground. Guan Heng picked it up casually. "Sloppy Person! I'll throw it in the trash can for you later." Although he said this, he stuffed the bloody tissue into his own pocket.

In the following moments, it was simply a scene of the Green Goblin being one-sidedly abused and beaten by the two heroes.

"My left fist hits his face, then my right foot kicks his butt! Good Opportunity! I'll poke his eyes! This Sweeping Leg is even more powerful, it'll definitely make him Fall Down!"

Tired of Dealing With Guan Heng and Spider-Man's punches and kicks, the Green Goblin angrily Yelled Loudly, "You two kids are too Cunning! What you say and what you actually do are Completely Different! Liars!"

"Are you Brain Damaged?" Guan Heng and Spider-Man simultaneously raised their Middle Fingers and shouted, "Who says you have to tell the truth to Villains?"

"Damn it! Since that's the case, I have a Helper too, although he doesn't listen to my orders!" the Green Goblin gritted his teeth and muttered. "Two against one, I'm at too much of a disadvantage!" Suddenly, with a whistle, his Flying Skateboard flew to his feet, carrying him towards a place not far away.

There was a Large Iron Cage, tightly covered by a cloth. The Green Goblin flew past on his hoverboard, casually tearing off the cover, revealing what was inside. Guan Heng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately discovered what it was.

"Haha! Let you experience the super bio-weapon I bought from Hydra at a discount price!" the Green Goblin creaked open the cage door. Inside, a sleeping Corpse Lord was confined. He had previously been injected with a strong Sleeping Potion due to being uncontrollable.

"Wake up, Lazy Ghost! Time to start work!" With that, the Green Goblin threw a bomb into the iron cage and dodged far away. With a loud rumble, the Corpse Lord was awakened. He shook his huge body, roared violently, and crouched down, drilling out of the iron cage.

Logically, it's two against two right now, but that won't last for long.

Guan Heng lunged forward, directly at the Green Goblin. "Hey, Caterpillar, don't run off yet! I'm asking you, where did the zombies come from?"

The Green Goblin let out a sinister laugh. "Of course, they were bought. Super criminals are an expensive profession these days. Hydra gave me a discount price, a mere million USD, and the old man didn't even bat an eye."

Guan Heng's expression turned cold. "Bastard! Stay here!" After saying that, he swept the Chengying Sword in his hand across the Green Goblin's waist.

"Aiya!" The Green Goblin, riding his Flying Skateboard, tumbled in mid-air, narrowly dodging Guan Heng's attack. "How is this kid more powerful than the Spider Crawler?"

"Hmph." Guan Heng thrust his sword into the ground. "My Hand-to-Hand Combat Skill is even more powerful. I don't have time to waste with you." Suddenly, he crouched down, pushed off the ground with his toes to accelerate, and lunged in front of the Green Goblin, reaching out to grab his wrist. "Stay here!"

The Green Goblin was unwilling to be captured. With a whoosh, he punched towards Guan Heng's face. "Get lost!" Guan Heng hooked the Green Goblin's wrist and instantly grabbed his pinky finger, twisting it. "Snap!"

With a light crack, the Green Goblin screamed, "My finger!"

At this moment, his severed pinky finger was already in Guan Heng's hand.

The Green Goblin didn't dare to linger. He jumped onto his Flying Skateboard. "Bastard, you wait! I will definitely avenge my broken finger!" He then shouted, "You guys play with the zombies yourselves! I'm not playing anymore!" After saying that, he fled in a sorry state.

Wrapping up the Green Goblin's finger and stuffing it into his pocket, Guan Heng sneered. "With this, I'm not afraid of not finding the location of your transaction with Hydra. Hmph."

Spider-Man suddenly shouted, "Not good! Guan Heng, this guy seems to be releasing minions!"

Turning back, he saw that the Corpse Lord had summoned four Corpse Soldiers, but it seemed to be the limit. Guan Heng narrowed his eyes and saw the Corpse Storage Bag on the Corpse Lord's waist. It seemed newer than his own, and he immediately had the idea of snatching it.

Guan Heng shouted to Spider-Man, "You go tie up the minions! I'll deal with the boss first, then I'll come help you."

Spider-Man agreed and shot webs from both wrists, entangling several Corpse Soldiers who were starting to surround Guan Heng.

Guan Heng pulled the Chengying Sword out of the ground and aimed a fierce blow at the Corpse Lord's shoulder. Splat! The Corpse Lord staggered back, beaten and yelling loudly.

"Idiot, what are you yelling about?" Guan Heng sneered. "No matter how loud you yell, no other corpses will come to save you."

The Corpse Lord was furious. He casually reached out and grabbed a steel pipe used for setting up tents lying on the ground. He picked it up and swung it at Guan Heng's face. Guan Heng extended one hand, slap, and caught it. With a casual twist, he bent the pipe and kicked the zombie in the chest. "Get lost!"

The Corpse Lord fell backward and landed on the ground. Guan Heng stepped on his back and surveyed the carnival backdrop that had been destroyed by the Corpse Lord's swinging iron pipe. Guan Heng snorted, "You're destroying public property and your appearance is hideous. You're simply committing a heinous crime. I now sentence you to death."

Seeing the Corpse Lord still struggling and flailing, Guan Heng reached out with his sword and knocked out his Zombie Teeth and fingernails. He then grabbed the Corpse Storage Bag. He tidied up the teeth and nails, as they were ingredients for making an Antidote. However, this method couldn't be known by S.H.I.E.L.D., at least not yet, otherwise, it was hard to guarantee Fury wouldn't turn hostile.

On the other side, Spider-Man had finally entangled three zombies with his webs. One had slipped through and was staggering towards Guan Heng. The latter smiled slightly and punched it in the face, knocking the Corpse Soldier to the ground.
