Saving People

After handing the little boy Jack over to his father, Peter flipped and jumped off the bridge.

He wanted to track the giant lizard that had disappeared into the water.

However, he waited on the bridge pier for a long time but found nothing.

The vast ocean had covered all traces.

Helpless, Peter flipped back onto the bridge deck.

At this moment, Captain Stacy, blocked by the traffic jam, led a group of police officers and ran on foot from the other end of the bridge to this side.

In the distance, fire trucks also arrived outside the bridge, but due to the severe traffic jam, they couldn't get onto it.

When Peter returned, they were struggling with how to rescue the people from the cars that had been thrown off.

Several firefighters were attaching safety ropes to themselves, looking like they were about to climb down to rescue people.

Seeing this, Peter's eyes lit up.

Wasn't this what he had planned before?

On the bridge, the firefighters were moving slowly, each step taken with extreme caution.

There was no other way, as the fire trucks were stuck outside and couldn't get in anytime soon.

And here, no one knew how long the thin strand of web fluid could hold.

They had just seen a car stuck by the web fluid fall off.

Some people even saw the web fluid sticking the car to the bridge and thought that the masked spider-man who used the web fluid was the culprit, cursing and accusing him.

The police officers believed it, and indeed, several officers were collecting so-called "testimony" at the scene, seemingly to convict Peter.

Peter thought to himself, it was a good thing he came back, otherwise, he would have been burdened with such a serious false accusation.

He could already imagine the news he would see the next morning:

[Is it the decline of morality or the distortion of humanity? Last night, the masked maniac Spider-Man finally extended his claws to innocent New York citizens – Daily Bugle]

[Terror on the streets, a shadow hanging over New York! Who is Spider-Man? – Daily Bugle]

[What guarantees are there for citizens' property safety, and who can they entrust their personal safety to – New York Economic Times]

[Shocking! The Spider-Man, praised by everyone, did this to innocent citizens on the bridge last night – UC Shock Department New York Branch]

Peter shook his head vigorously, shaking off these absolutely terrifying scenes from his mind.

Without further hesitation, he ran along the edge of the bridge, waving his hands and saying, "Hey, let me, let me, I can save them."

"Spider-Man!" The police, led by Captain Stacy, all drew their pistols and aimed them at Peter.

Peter froze for a moment and quickly raised his hands, "Hey, I just want to save people, I'm not carrying any weapons!"

"Save people? The web fluid on those cars is your masterpiece, isn't it?" Captain Stacy shouted.

"Yes, but..." Peter quickly explained.

"You threw them off, and now you want to save them back? Are you toying with us?" Captain Stacy reprimanded angrily.

Peter: . If you weren't Gwen's dad, I'd definitely kick your butt hard with my spider boots and make a flower bloom on it!

But he knew that if he really did that, Gwen would be wearing her sexy little riding boots and stamping them firmly on his butt.

Peter sighed, "Captain, ask the people around you, and look at the claw marks on some of the cars."

Saying that, he gestured to his hands, "Do you think these small hands of mine can make such terrifying claw marks?"

Captain Stacy still looked at him warily. As a police officer, he didn't trust any masked vigilante, especially one with a record of interfering with police matters and using violence indiscriminately.

He slightly tilted his head and gestured, "Omar, go check the nearby cars to see if there are the claw marks he mentioned."

"Okay, Captain Stacy." A police officer put away his gun and ran towards the nearby vehicles.

Peter cupped his hands in front of his mouth, forming a cone shape, "Don't forget to look at the ground, there should be some there too!"

The officer named Omar stopped upon hearing this and looked at Captain Stacy.

Captain Stacy nodded.

The standoff continued.

At this moment, the firefighters' rescue operation encountered some problems.

Since the cars were only suspended by a single strand of web fluid, the firefighters themselves were also suspended by a rope.

And since this was over the river, a gust of wind caused both the car and the firefighter to sway.

It was extremely difficult for two swaying objects to merge safely.

After a lot of effort, several firefighters were still hanging upside down under the bridge, and not a single person had been rescued.

The fastest progress was that someone had just been pulled out of the car.

This rescued person was Niles.

And at this moment, a slightly stronger gust of wind suddenly blew.

The safety rope was already stretched very tight under the weight of two adults. When the wind blew, it rubbed hard against the lower edge of the bridge, emitting a chilling "ripping" sound, as if it were about to break at any moment!

"Aaaah!" Niles let out a terrified scream, his body clinging even tighter to the firefighter.

But his actions didn't make their current situation any safer; instead, it became more dangerous!

"Don't move!" The firefighter was so angry his nose was practically twitching. All they had to do was wait for the rope to stabilize, and the people above would pull them up.

With his thrashing, the safety rope swung even more wildly. How could they get up now?

What was even more critical was that the friction between the safety rope and the bridge was intensifying!

Although the safety rope was very strong and shouldn't have snapped under normal circumstances.

But the sound of intense friction, one after another, made one's heart involuntarily race.

However, such a warning seemed to have no effect on someone in a panic.

Amidst his panic, Niles angrily declared, "I am Niles, head of the biological research department at the Osborn Group. You must save me safely, or I will definitely sue you!"

The firefighter rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for this job with a salary as high as 80,000 US dollars, he wouldn't want to save this kind of thing.

But now, he could only patiently try to calm Niles, hoping his teammates would pull them up soon.

However, fate was not on their side.

The wind on the river grew stronger. With the sound of fabric tearing, the safety rope actually developed a rip!

Terrified screams rang out.

This time, there were two of them!

On the bridge, Peter, who was confronting Captain Stacy, heard the sound of fabric tearing thanks to his sharp senses.

Seeing this, he didn't hesitate and jumped down!

"Spider-Man!" Captain Stacy thought he was trying to escape and rushed to the edge of the bridge with a group of officers. However, they happened to see Spider-Man shoot out webbing, sticking the two people below and pulling them up.

All the officers were stunned.

He was really saving them?
