"Um... hello?"
Peter looked at the girl standing outside the door and was a little dazed for a moment.
Oh my God...Gwen Stacy·Stacy is actually standing in front of his house alive.
The night wind blew on her face, and the girl's blond hair was a little messy, and her watery blue eyes were full of anxiety. It had to be said that the real person was indeed very beautiful, and even vaguely resembled a certain movie star he had seen in his previous life.
"Hey, don't be in a daze!" Gwen Stacy couldn't help shouting when he saw that he didn't respond for a long time.
Peter came to his senses instantly and blinked. "Peter, my name is Peter·Parker."
"Okay, Peter, can you stop being in a daze and help me!" Gwen Stacy was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet, "Where is your father? I must see him immediately!"
"He... he's not at home." Peter explained, "He went on a business trip for work. What happened to you?"
"Dr. Connors told me that if anything goes wrong in the experiment, please contact Richard·Parker as soon as possible!" Gwen Stacy's eyes were red and his voice was trembling, "When I went to the laboratory tonight... My God, the whole laboratory looked like some giant Beast had broken in and completely demolished it!"
Peter's heart sank.
The Lizard... Finally broke out of the cage!
"Damn it." Peter cursed in a low voice, "Did you call the police?"
Gwen Stacy nodded quickly. "I called the police immediately! But when I told the police about Dr. Connors's situation, they didn't believe it at all. They just thought it was an ordinary home invasion and robbery! But something more terrifying definitely happened inside, I'm sure!"
"Okay, Gwen Stacy, I promise to help you." Peter stepped aside and opened the door, "You come in first and wait for me. I'll go up and change clothes and come down soon."
"What? No! What I'm looking for is Richard·Parker! What can we do without your father?" Gwen Stacy paced anxiously in the living room, "Damn, what should I do now..."
Peter stepped forward, reached out and pressed her shoulders tightly, forcing her to raise her head to look at him.
"Listen, Gwen Stacy." Peter said in a calm tone, "I will go with you now. Let's get your mentor back together, I promise you."
Gwen Stacy looked into his dark and firm eyes, breathing slightly, and nodded subconsciously. "Okay... Okay."
Peter Only then did he realize that his clothes were not neatly dressed, so he quickly put on his coat.
"Just wait a moment, I'll be down soon."
He quickly rushed into the bedroom, pulled off a hoodie and sports pants, put them on, and grabbed the combat readiness backpack prepared next to him.
In the few seconds he was changing clothes, Peter's brain was running rapidly. In the original plot direction, the birth of the Lizard would trigger a series of disasters, but now the original trajectory has been disrupted. With the advantage of foresight, he may be able to put an end to the situation before it gets completely out of control.
He put on his backpack and rushed downstairs. At this time, Gwen Stacy had calmed down slightly and took a deep breath to calm down.
"Let's go." Peter called her.
"Why are you carrying such a big bag?" Gwen Stacy followed him out.
"Buy insurance." Peter asked, "How did you get here?"
"I drove my own car here."
The two walked to the side of the road, where a yellow antique Volkswagen Beetle was parked. Gwen Stacy opened the door and got into the driver's seat. Seeing Peter standing on the side of the road in a daze, he rolled down the window and shouted, "Why are you standing there? Come on up!"
Peter looked at the cramped little yellow car, and the corner of his mouth twitched. At this moment, he missed his own car that was still modified in the factory. If Johnny Stone saw himself sitting in such a toy car, he might laugh for half a year.
But time was running out, so Peter squeezed into the co-pilot.
Gwen Stacy stepped on the accelerator to the floor, and the car roared out. The New York streets were empty and silent late at night, and even this city that never stops seemed to be tired. However, Gwen Stacy drove like a madman, drifting around corners in one go, and Peter even wondered if he was on the set of "The Fast and the Furious".
"Tell me, what's going on?" Peter grabbed the handrail and watched the car rush into the undersea tunnel leading to Manhattan, "You just mentioned that Connors used my parents' formula?"
"Yes." Gwen Stacy looked solemn and skillfully shuttled between the traffic, "He has been stuck in limb regeneration research for a long time. To be precise, he encountered a dead end a few years ago, and has been hitting the wall in the dead end since then."
This kind of driving skills amazed Peter. He thought to himself, if Green Goblin chased Gwen Stacy in the future, Gwen Stacy would be able to leave Green Goblin behind with just this driving skill.
"So? He thinks the cross-species genetic formula left by my parents can help him break through?"
"Dr. Connors thinks your father's formula is the only key, but he only has half of the formula in his hand." Gwen Stacy suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned into a narrow street, "Be careful!"
Peter was carried by the inertia and almost hit the car window. "Slow down! Pay attention to safety!"
"Sorry!" Gwen Stacy stepped on the accelerator again, ignoring the red light at the intersection. "A few weeks ago, Roxxon Corporation suddenly came to see the doctor. They found out that he was studying your father's formula and expressed their willingness to provide financial support. They also gave the doctor a... some kind of high-efficiency accelerator to accelerate gene fusion. Just last week, there was a breakthrough in the experiment. I persuaded him not to blindly conduct human experiments, but he didn't listen at all!"
At the end of the sentence, the girl's tone was filled with deep anger and powerlessness.
Peter's eyes turned cold.
Roxxon Corporation.
It's this disgusting group of capital jackals again. He has known for a long time that Roxxon is doing all kinds of shameful things secretly, but the other party has done it so cleanly that he has never been able to find any real clues.
"Damn it." Peter spat, "Why are these big conglomerates involved everywhere?"
"Yes." Gwen Stacy responded with a low voice, suddenly braked, and the car stopped steadily in front of Empire State University's gate, "We're here."
The two got off the car, and the wrought iron gate of the campus was open. It was pitch dark inside, and not a single light was on in the entire teaching building.
Gwen Stacy took out two flashlights from his bag, kept a large black professional flashlight for himself, and threw the other small pink toy flashlight to Peter.
Peter looked at the palm-sized flashlight with cartoon patterns printed on it in his hand, and twitched his lips. "Are you serious?"
Gwen Stacy shrugged. "This is the spare one I have on hand."
Peter was just about to complain when a dull thunder suddenly exploded in the sky!
Click!
A streak of Flash pierced the night sky, dark clouds rolled in, and it was about to rain heavily.
Gwen Stacy held up a flashlight and shined it at the dark building, frowning slightly. "Something's wrong... Before I left to pick you up, the two policemen I called clearly turned on all the lights in the building... Have they already left?"
"I'm afraid not." Peter lowered his voice, opened his senses, and searched for any strangeness in the air.
"Peter, by the way." Gwen Stacy looked around with a flashlight, "Why are you willing to come with me? In the middle of the night, you heard a girl you have never met say there is a monster, and you really followed me?"
Peter smiled, "A panic-stricken beauty came to ask for help in the middle of the night. Any normal boy wouldn't be able to refuse, right?"
Gwen Stacy rolled his eyes at him. "So you came here at the risk because you were so lustful?"
"The main thing is that you are really good-looking--" Peter Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw a police car parked by the side gate of the campus on the other side of the road. The red and blue lights on the police car were still flashing silently, but there was no one in the car.
"Look over there." Peter pointed, "The police haven't left yet."
"But why is there no sound at all?"
A dazzling electric light flashed across the sky again.
At that moment, Peter keenly captured a huge black shadow passing through the window on the top floor. It was a dark green body with a cold and biting sheen of scales!
Brutal and brutal.
"Damn it." Peter muttered to himself.
"What's wrong? What did you see?" Gwen Stacy turned around and asked.
"Nothing." Peter stared at the window.
The moment the electric light went out, a tall shadow slowly stuck to the glass, and a pair of vertical pupils emitting a faint yellow fierce light stared down at Peter below. That was the face of a lizard, covered with scales and full of murderous intent.
Peter immediately withdrew his gaze and blocked it in front of Gwen Stacy, preventing her from noticing the strange scene upstairs. At this time, Gwen Stacy was busy taking out his mobile phone to record the license plate number of the police car.
"You stay outside." Peter said to Gwen Stacy, "I'll go in and take a look myself."
As long as he is out of sight of Gwen Stacy, he can immediately put on the Spider suit.
"What?! No!" Gwen Stacy refused without even thinking, "There's definitely something big going on inside! There's no way I'm going to let you go in there and die alone!"
She typed quickly on her phone. "I have already sent a text message to my dad. He is the police chief. He will send the police to support him right away. Before the police arrive, neither of us are allowed to go anywhere. We are just waiting here!"
Peter was stunned for a moment, looking at the determined-looking girl in front of him, feeling slightly surprised.
I thought she was an impulsive lover, but I didn't expect her mind to be so clear-headed.
During the storm, the yellow eyes behind the window had disappeared.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Peter compromised.
"Seriously, you are the most reckless person I have ever seen." Gwen Stacy rolled his eyes, "Two policemen with guns came in but there was no sound. You actually think you can rush in and save people?"
Peter shrugged. "Didn't you bring me here?"
"I didn't force you." Gwen Stacy snorted, "You followed me on your own. It's very strange."
"Both each other. I don't know who it is. When something happens, instead of looking for my father who is the police chief, he will run across half of the city to Queens to find someone."
Gwen Stacy's expression darkened and he sighed, "My dad and I... have always had a somewhat tense relationship. In his eyes, I will always be a little girl who will never grow up. Even if I got Massachusetts Institute of Technology's master's degree in advanced biotechnology at the age of fifteen, in his eyes I am just a child who needs to be taken care of. I called him to tell him about the situation here, but he felt that I was lying again to attract his attention... In the end, only two patrol policemen were sent to deal with me."
"That's really bad." Peter whispered.
Peter asked, "How old are you now?"
"Sixteen." Gwen Stacy replied.
"I also want to graduate from college early, but my dad won't let me." Peter smiled, "He said he hoped I could experience more normal campus life and make more friends."
Gwen Stacy smiled, "It seems that all fathers in the world are the same. They don't understand us at all."
"Maybe we don't understand them..."
"Ah--!!"
A sharp and piercing female scream pierced the night sky, erupting from the depths of the dark building!
Peter's face suddenly changed. "Stay here and don't move!"
"Peter! Where are you going?!" Gwen Stacy was shocked.
"I'm going to save people! You stay where you are and continue calling your dad!" Peter rushed towards the door of the building without looking back, "Listen!"
"You're crazy!"
"Everyone says so!"
Peter kicked open the door of the building and disappeared into the dark corridor in an instant.
As soon as he entered the room, he no longer concealed his strength, and his enhanced senses were suddenly released. The air was filled with the complex smell of chemicals, formaldehyde, and - the strong and pungent smell of blood!
Peter ran wildly following the smell of blood, jumped several steps along the stairwell, turned into an afterimage and went straight to the third floor.
When we arrived at the corridor on the third floor, the marble tiles on the ground were cracked and damaged, as if they had been trampled by a giant beast weighing hundreds of kilograms.
"Help... help..."
An extremely weak moan reached Peter's ears.
Peter followed the sound and rushed to the end of the corridor. A wooden door had been smashed into pieces, and inside was a laboratory in a mess.
It's no wonder that the previous police thought it was a home invasion - the test tubes were broken, the shelves collapsed, and documents were scattered all over the floor. But if you look carefully, you will find that there are several deep and huge claw marks on the concrete walls, and many iron cabinets were torn directly from the walls by a brute force!
The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made you sick.
Just at this moment, a Flash passed through the window, illuminating the scene in the corner of the laboratory.
Peter's pupils contracted violently.
It was a male policeman in uniform, lying quietly in a pool of blood. His chest was completely torn open, his ribs were broken and valgus, and his internal organs were completely destroyed. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, condensing the despair that he could not cry out before he died.
Horrible.
Connors completely lost his humanity and became a bloodthirsty monster.
A nauseating feeling rose up in my throat, but Peter forced it down. Now is not the time to be afraid!
There was also a faint heartbeat at the scene!
Peter quickly looked around and locked his eyes on an iron door of an exhaust cabinet at the rear. He quickly stepped over the pool of blood and opened the iron door suddenly--
The black gun muzzle was instantly pointed at his forehead!
"Don't shoot!"
After seeing clearly that the person who came was a teenager, the female police officer hiding inside weakly lowered the revolver in her hand. She was a brown-skinned woman with a huge laceration on her left arm, and blood was constantly flowing down her arm.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were unfocused. "Hurry... run away... get out of here..."
Before she finished speaking, she passed out.
Peter immediately caught her body and laid her flat on the ground. The moment he touched her skin, Peter felt a chill in his heart - the body temperature was extremely low, which was a sign of shock due to excessive blood loss!
The bleeding must be stopped immediately!
Peter quickly took off the thick law enforcement belt from her waist, stuck it firmly above the wound on her left arm, tightened it with brute force, and cut off the blood supply to the artery. Then he checked the policewoman's body and confirmed that there were no other fatal injuries.
He glanced at the nameplate hanging on the policewoman's chest: R. Diaz.
The walkie-talkie on Officer Diaz's shoulder has been crushed by sharp claws. The monster that turned into a lizard obviously retained human wisdom. It knew that the police would call for backup, so it destroyed the communication equipment.
Peter turned and walked towards the body of the male police officer. Enduring the discomfort and anger in his heart, he unplugged the intact walkie-talkie from the dead policeman's body.
Pressing the call button, Peter lowered his voice and shouted with a slightly vicissitude, "Dispatch center! I am Officer Diaz! A police officer was attacked at Empire State University! Repeat, a police officer was attacked! One police officer died and another was seriously injured and lost blood! Please dispatch an ambulance and SWAT team immediately!"
The operator's anxious voice came from the intercom. "Roger! Please state your identity. Are you safe now?"
"I'm a student here! The seriously injured policeman can't hold on any longer. Stop talking nonsense and call an ambulance immediately!" Peter shouted this and threw the walkie-talkie on the ground.
The monster is still in the building.
Peter took out his cell phone. "Sassy, hack into the surveillance system of this building and locate the traces of that monster for me!"
"Understood, Peter." AI's crisp voice came from the headset.
Peter opened the zipper of his backpack and was about to take out his battle suit--
Buzz!
A sharp and extremely painful pain suddenly exploded at the end of the spine!
Spider-Sense!
Danger!
Peter didn't even have time to look back, and jumped to the side based on instinct!
