Doctor Lizard

Peter casually tossed his phone onto a nearby wall, then used his webbing to stick it there and hide it.

He glanced at the other wall, where a camera was also attached with webbing.

The Amazing Spider-Man was preparing to use it to record his fight with Lizard-Man, hoping the footage could prove Spider-Man's innocence to Captain Stacy. He wanted to show that he was fighting Lizard-Man for the safety of the people, not that he was the kind of outlaw Captain Stacy believed him to be.

He believed that with this evidence, plus his rescue on the Williamsburg Bridge last night, Captain Stacy would surely have a much better impression of him.

This way, the first half of "Captain Stacy's prejudice against Spider-Man and Peter Parker" would be preliminarily completed.

As for the second half.

The source of his conflict with Captain Stacy was Spider-Man.

Since Spider-Man was misunderstood, wasn't he misunderstood as well?

When the time came, he would definitely make Captain Stacy say, "Peter, I was wrong, you were right."

Peter's mind wandered.

At this moment.

Buzz~

Just as he was momentarily distracted, his Spider-Sense went wild.

Peter was startled and instinctively dodged to the side.

Splash!

With a loud splash, water flew everywhere.

A huge, foul-smelling figure lunged from behind him, crashing heavily into the water.

It was Doctor Lizard!

"Damn it, why did this guy ambush me? I didn't even turn on the camera. Is all the recording going to go to waste?" Peter pressed himself against the wall, his first thought being this.

"You insignificant bug, you stopped me once last night, and I didn't come looking for you, yet you dare to come looking for me!" Doctor Lizard roared, charging out of the water.

Peter nimbly dodged, simultaneously twisting and shooting several webs backward.

The webs shot onto Doctor Lizard's eyes and face, obscuring his vision.

Peter said with some dissatisfaction, "Dr. Connors, you're an authority professor in biology, how could you make such a basic mistake? Spiders are not insects; insects are defined by having three body segments, while spiders belong to the subphylum Arachnida within the phylum Arthropoda!"

"Who cares!" Doctor Lizard swiped the webbing off his face and lunged at Peter again.

"Damn it, he got wet, which reduced the stickiness of the webbing!" Peter cursed inwardly.

He had intended to restrain Doctor Lizard and then seize the opportunity to turn on the camera.

But Doctor Lizard had regained his sight so quickly. If he went over now, the camera would be exposed, and this camera, which he had accidentally found in his father's briefcase, would be destroyed!

This was his most treasured possession!

Peter quickly twisted, kicked off the wall, and scrambled towards a nearby sewer.

He needed to lure Doctor Lizard away from this sewer entrance. Since the camera wasn't turned on, the original plan had to be canceled.

If he fought here, his camera, phone, and backpack could all be lost to him.

If there were photos, he might take some risks.

But since there weren't any, this was an unnecessary risk, not worth taking.

"Stop, bug!" Doctor Lizard's rationality seemed severely impaired at this moment, his mind filled only with killing and destruction.

In this regard, he was very similar to the state of Fred, the white mouse Peter had seen in the Osborn Group's biology lab last night.

Peter climbed rapidly, thinking.

Last night on the bridge, he had made eye contact with Doctor Lizard. At that time, his face had a very human expression, flashing with intelligence.

This was completely different from his current behavior.

"I know, Dr. Connors must have discovered last night that the dosage wasn't enough and he would quickly revert to human form. That's why I saw him back to human form this afternoon at the Osborn Biology Lab."

"And now, he's learned from last night's lesson and injected a larger dose of the Lizard Serum. But because of this, his own consciousness has been overshadowed by the negative effects of the Lizard Serum!"

"Perhaps, I can make good use of this."

If it were the original Dr. Connors, with his superior intellect, Peter wouldn't dare say he could outsmart him.

But since he was now a Doctor Lizard whose mind was clouded by violence, Peter felt he could give it a try.

With this thought, Peter allocated a portion of his Spider-Sense ability and reached back.

Soon, a blurry image of Doctor Lizard appeared in his mind. (The Spider-Man's active Spider-Sense ability really has this, it's not made up. For example, in the PS4 game, you can see enemies through walls. The PS4 Spider-Man is also one of the officially recognized alternate universe Spider-Men. Of course, it hasn't been developed to that extent here yet.)

Peter quietly estimated the distance between himself and Doctor Lizard, formulating a battle plan in his mind.

At this moment, he somewhat missed the Spider-suit that Iron Man had given him.

That suit had a delayed web-shooting mode, which allowed the web fluid to be shot out without immediately detonating. It would only explode like a mine when the enemy passed by.

In this narrow passage, placing a few delayed webs would definitely trap Doctor Lizard.

What a pity.

The Amazing Spider-Man's web-shooter only had three modes, and Peter had modified them.

As for other methods, it wasn't impossible to use them, but it would rely on his own experience.

Furthermore, special effects like delayed webs required some auxiliary potions or solutions.

It wasn't possible right now.

If the Amazing Spider-Man were the type to produce silk internally, perhaps that could be tried.

Of course, Peter didn't only have this method.

He found a suitable spot for a counter-attack and ambush, and directly shot out several strands of web fluid there, merging them together.

A single strand of web fluid possessed greater tensile strength than steel, and the fusion of multiple strands greatly increased its hardness.

The unsuspecting Doctor Lizard rushed out of the passage and directly collided with the thickened web fluid.

"Aargh!"

The impact was like a galloping horse hitting a hobble.

Man and beast thrown!

Doctor Lizard was flipped onto the ground, clearly stunned.

Peter had specifically chosen this battle location, which was above the sewer network and didn't have much water.

This was to prevent his web fluid from losing its stickiness due to water.

And Doctor Lizard, due to his rapid sprint, had already dried off most of the water on his body.

Peter made a decisive move, raising his hand and unleashing a barrage of web-balls, from top to bottom, giving Doctor Lizard a full-body wrapping service.

Web-balls fired at close range actually had considerable impact, but Doctor Lizard's thick skin meant he didn't react much.

In a short while, a "mummy" appeared on the ground.
