Join the Glorious Evolution

Doctor Lizard struggled with all his might, but the web fluid wrapped around him layer after layer, making it impossible for him to break free for the time being.

Peter, hanging from a strand of web fluid, slowly inverted his body and moved above Doctor Lizard.

"Dr. Connors?"

He tried to awaken the human part of Doctor Lizard's conscience.

"Rooar!"

However, the response was an unfriendly roar.

To prevent Doctor Lizard from suffocating, Peter had deliberately left openings for his nose and mouth as air vents.

Seeing this, Peter reached out and shot out two more strands of web fluid, sealing Doctor Lizard's mouth as well.

He only left two large nostrils as air vents.

"Sorry, Doctor. I was going to leave your mouth open too, but you were too noisy, and your breath stinks. Does the Lizard Serum also cause bad breath? If so, I don't recommend using it, it's too disgusting. Or, you could bring a toothbrush and brush your teeth. What flavor toothpaste do you like? Mint?"

Peter, bored, launched a cruel barrage of trash talk at Doctor Lizard.

Doctor Lizard heard it all and was inwardly furious, but with his mouth sealed, he couldn't vent. He was almost suffocated with frustration.

Peter didn't care.

He didn't think everything he said was nonsense.

While speaking, he could both alleviate some of his own nervous emotions and harass the enemy, distracting them. However, his own senses were highly developed, and if he didn't distract himself, he would become distracted.

In addition, while speaking, he also employed some interrogation techniques. By speaking and observing the changes in the other party's expression and movements, he could gather some information he desired.

Riiiiip!

At a certain moment, a tearing sound suddenly came from Doctor Lizard's body.

The web that had tightly encased him suddenly had an opening.

Peter was slightly stunned, not quite understanding how Doctor Lizard had managed it.

And in that instant, the poised Doctor Lizard violently broke free from the web and flipped over.

Peter then noticed a long lizard tail lying on the ground.

He looked again at Doctor Lizard's bare backside and suddenly understood.

It was "cutting off the tail to survive"!

At the base of a lizard's tail, there are certain break points.

In nature, if a lizard is attacked, in an emergency, it will break off its tail by contracting and squeezing the muscles in its tail. The detached tail still has nerves distributed, allowing it to move for a while longer to attract the enemy's attention, while the lizard seizes the opportunity to escape.

Peter just hadn't expected that Doctor Lizard, this artificially created lizard, would possess such an ability!

Originally, his entire body had been encased in Peter's web fluid, but after he broke off his tail, the tail deformed, damaging some of the originally tight structure.

Doctor Lizard seized that moment of change, using the point to break the whole, and thus broke free!

What a clever plan!

The unreasoning Doctor Lizard clearly couldn't have performed these actions. This meant...

"Dr. Connors?" Peter nimbly dodged Doctor Lizard's attack and called out tentatively.

"Spider..." Doctor Lizard stopped his attack, stood on the ground of the passage, looked up at Peter, and tore at the remaining web fluid on his body.

"Doctor, you're awake?" Peter was a little surprised. He had always believed that Doctor Lizard had become so aggressive due to the influence of the serum.

After all, he and Gwen had interacted with the Doctor himself, and he was a good person.

"Ah, Spider, it seems you are a being like myself," Doctor Lizard said, appraising Peter.

Hearing the normal conversation and feeling the significant reduction in the frenzy emanating from Doctor Lizard, Peter's heart also settled somewhat.

However, he didn't come down, nor did he move away. He simply leaned against the curved part where the ceiling met the ground, pressing his back against the wall.

"Dr. Connors, how did you become like this? Can you change back?" Peter asked.

"You know me?" Doctor Lizard retorted.

Peter said, "Of course. You are a leading figure in the field of cross-species genetic biology and a renowned researcher at the Osborn Group. Anyone who has a slight understanding of this field should know you."

Peter's response was very calm. He wouldn't be tricked into revealing information by Doctor Lizard.

Doctor Lizard's two eyes stared intently at Peter, as if trying to see through his mask to his true identity.

"Osborn? Heh!" Doctor Lizard sneered. "Don't mention Osborn to me! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have become like this. No, I should thank Osborn. It was them who made me who I am today, my perfect self!"

Peter's brow furrowed slightly. He felt like he might have made his judgment too early.

This Doctor Lizard's mental state was clearly still not right.

"Little Spider, for the sake of us both being great evolutionary beings, I won't hold past matters against you. In the future, you continue playing house, and I, I will go to complete my great mission!" Doctor Lizard said, turning and walking towards a passage.

"Great mission?" Peter sensed something was increasingly wrong, his Spider-Sense beginning to throb violently again. "Sorry, allow me to ask one more question: what is this great mission you speak of?"

Doctor Lizard replied without looking back, "I will turn New York into Lizard Island, and let everyone join in this glorious evolution!"

"Uh, are you possessed by Viktor?" Peter was somewhat speechless. Doctor Lizard's words reminded him of a certain game character with three hands.

Doctor Lizard clearly hadn't played that game and didn't understand Peter's complaint. "Viktor? You mean that guy from Europa?"

"Huh?" Peter was momentarily stunned. He fell from the wall, simultaneously shooting web fluid from his hands to stick Doctor Lizard's hands. "I don't know who you're talking about, but Doctor, I can't let you turn people into Lizard-Men!"

Doctor Lizard was held back by Peter, his immense strength making him unable to move an inch.

He turned his head and roared, "Spider-bug, why are you stopping me? I'm doing this for everyone's benefit!"

"For everyone's benefit? But they don't want it themselves!" Peter wrapped the web fluid around his hands twice and pulled with all his might. "Besides, if everyone around me turned into a giant lizard, and they all had bad breath, wow, could anyone even live?"

"If that's the case, then I'll kill you!" Doctor Lizard suddenly turned around and charged at Peter.

From an all-out struggle to a sudden pulling force, Peter was caught off guard. His body retreated repeatedly, all the way back to the wall.

Doctor Lizard threw a punch.

Peter quickly dodged it, then bounced up above the pipes and ran down them.

Two connected strands of web fluid unknowingly wrapped Doctor Lizard in a circle.
