Boom!
An extremely thick and giant tail covered with green scales slammed into the place where he was standing like an iron whip! The marble floor shattered instantly, and the huge shock wave sent the surrounding broken wood and paper flying all over the sky!
Peter rolled in mid-air and landed steadily on a test bench.
Among the flying debris, the pistol just happened to fly towards him. Peter, with quick eyes and quick hands, reached out to grab the pistol in the air, and pressed the trigger accurately with his knuckles!
Time seems to slow down at this moment.
Behind the smoke, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils stared intently at Peter.
Peter didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger decisively!
Bang!
"Ouch--!"
Screams resounded throughout the laboratory. The bullet hit the Lizard's shoulder, and blood splattered out!
The monster went crazy with pain, and its huge tail swept over like a giant wave again. Peter jumped back with its strength, pressed its back against the wall, and raised its hand to face the huge body and continuously pulled the trigger!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Lizard was hit by bullets and retreated repeatedly. Realizing that the human in front of it was not easy to mess with, it jumped suddenly, its huge body directly smashed the glass window outside the corridor, and rushed into the rainy night!
Glass shards were flying everywhere.
Peter cursed secretly.
No! Gwen Stacy is still under the tree downstairs!
Peter rushed to the broken window and looked down.
It rained heavily.
Gwen Stacy was hiding under the tree and talking anxiously on the phone. She didn't notice at all that the huge and terrifying lizard monster had quietly landed on the tree trunk above her head, and the branches creaked under the pressure!
Danger!
Peter didn't even have time to take the stairs and jumped out of the broken window on the third floor!
Falling!
The moment he was about to hit the ground, he used his amazing physical control to roll along and remove most of the impact.
Almost at the same time, the Lizard jumped down from the tree, and the huge shadow instantly completely enveloped Gwen Stacy!
The monster opened its bloody mouth and clawed at Gwen Stacy!
"Go to hell!"
Peter raised the pistol in his hand, pointed at the monster's back and pulled the trigger hard!
Bang!
"Ho--!"
The bullet hit the scales, bursting out a string of sparks. The Lizard turned back suddenly and roared angrily.
Peter aimed at its face again and pulled the trigger--
Click!
The firing pin went off. No ammunition!
"Damn it!"
The Lizard showed a cruel sneer, waved his huge claws, pinched Gwen Stacy who was lying on the ground, and lifted him into the air!
"Help! Peter!" Gwen Stacy screamed in despair.
"Let her go!"
Peter threw away the empty gun and rushed forward like a Flash!
The Lizard swept forward with his long tail, and Peter used his legs to leap high, easily avoiding the tail attack. He accurately rode on the Lizard's back, his feet clinging to the scales like suction cups!
Pull back with both fists--
Chi!
From the back of Peter's fists, three bright and sharp Stingers suddenly popped out!
Gwen Stacy, who was lifted up in the air, stared at this scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
Peter didn't hesitate at all, and pierced the bone spurs on the back of both hands into the Lizard's spinal muscles!
"Hoooooooooo--!!"
The Lizard let out a cruel roar, and the paralyzing toxin in Stingers quickly seeped into its blood. The monster began to swing its body wildly like a mad bull, and the violent vibrations made Peter dizzy.
But Peter sticks to its back and never lets go!
Enraged by the severe pain, the Lizard made an extremely crazy move - it grabbed Peter's waist with its backhand and pulled with all its strength!
Tear!
Peter's bone spurs were hanging on the Lizard's flesh and were pulled out forcefully, blood splattered!
The monster grabbed Peter and threw him hard against the tree trunk aside!
Boom!
The thick tree trunk was shaken violently by the impact, and Peter fell to the ground, blood surging.
The Lizard knew it was seriously injured and stopped fighting. It lifted up the cast iron manhole cover weighing a hundred kilograms on the road next to it, whizzed and smashed it towards Gwen Stacy on the ground, then jumped and got into the open sewer!
"Be careful!"
Peter endured the severe pain and rushed forward, pushing Gwen Stacy to the ground.
Phew!
The huge cast iron manhole cover flew over Gwen Stacy's hair and smashed into the brick wall behind, completely submerging half of it!
The rain pattered down on the two of them.
Peter pressed his hands on both sides of Gwen Stacy's head to protect her firmly under him.
The two breathed each other, and the rain dripped down Peter's cheek and fell on Gwen Stacy's face. Gwen Stacy looked at the boy on top of him in shock, and his eyes slowly moved from his eyes to his hands.
On the back of the hands, three sharp Stingers glowing with cold light were slowly retracting into the flesh.
"You... you have claws on your hands..." Gwen Stacy trembled, his voice full of shock.
Peter was a little embarrassed. "Uh... I prefer to call them Stingers."
"It's... pretty cool." Gwen Stacy muttered absently.
Peter's heart tightened. He was seen!
"Gwen Stacy, please keep it a secret for me." Peter looked at her seriously, "I know this is ridiculous, and we have just met, but--"
Gwen Stacy suddenly came close to him, kissed him gently, and then backed away with a blushing face.
"I don't know why this is happening..."
"Maybe tonight is too long." Peter said. They had just experienced life and death, and both of them were a little upset.
A siren sounded in the distance, and they came to their senses.
Peter stood up and pulled Gwen Stacy up.
Three police cars roared and parked at the gate of the campus.
"Gwen Stacy!"
In the leading police car, Captain Stacy rushed down anxiously. When he saw his daughter, he hugged her tightly and said, "Are you okay?! Are you injured?!"
Gwen Stacy was hugged tightly by his father, and he slowly let go of the hand holding Peter, with a strange look in his eyes.
A female police officer wearing a suit and with short hair came over holding a gun and asked in a deep voice, "Did you use the walkie-talkie?"
Peter nodded. "Officer Diaz is on the third floor. He lost too much blood and went into shock. He needs immediate first aid."
Captain Stacy let go of his daughter and looked at Peter with a livid face. "What about Officer Kimber?"
Peter lowered his eyes. "He... died in the line of duty."
Captain Stacy took a deep breath, turned around and shouted to his subordinates, "Everyone, go upstairs! Call an ambulance!"
After arranging the rescue, Captain Stacy turned around and stared at Peter with a sharp gaze like a falcon. "Now, boy, explain to me, who are you?"
Four hours later.
New York City Police Department In the corridor outside the director's office.
Peter was sitting on the bench, his eyelids chattering due to sleepiness. From early morning to six o'clock in the morning, even with his physical constitution, he felt tired.
"Give."
A slender hand stretched out, holding a cup of steaming black coffee.
Peter opened his eyes, Gwen Stacy was looking at him with a smile.
"Thank you." Peter took the coffee and took a big sip, almost spitting it out the next second, "Oh my God, I take back what I just said, this is the worst coffee I have ever drunk in my life."
Gwen Stacy chuckled and sat down next to him, "How can the coffee at the police station be so good? My dad just came back from the hospital and is processing your records. He will probably find you later."
"How is Officer Diaz?"
"Rescue is here." Gwen Stacy said softly, "The doctor said that if the bleeding had not been stopped in time, she would not have been able to survive the hospital. You saved her life."
Peter shrugged and said nothing more. He has gradually become accustomed to saving people.
"Peter..." Gwen Stacy came closer and lowered his voice, "Those... those claws, what are they? Are you Mutants?"
Peter sighed. He knew that she would never forget this.
"You know Mutants, right?"
Gwen Stacy nodded. "I know. So... that's your genetic mutation?"
"Almost." Peter smiled.
Gwen Stacy blinked curiously. "Besides having claws, is there anything else?"
"Like... could it be used to save a pretty blonde girl?"
Gwen Stacy rolled his eyes at him. "Poor talk."
At this moment, the office door opened. Captain Stacy stood at the door with a serious face. "Peter·Parker, come in."
Peter looked at Gwen Stacy. She nodded and walked into the office with him.
Captain Stacy closed the door, pulled down the blinds, and threw a thick document bag on the table.
"One police officer died in the line of duty and another was seriously injured. The university laboratory was destroyed and a well-known professor disappeared." The police chief held the table with both hands and stared at Peter. "And you, a high school student, ran to a university dozens of kilometers away in the middle of the night, and you still have the fingerprints of a policeman's gun on your hand."
He pulled out a photo from the document bag, which was the revolver used by Peter.
Peter looked calm. "I did fire the gun, but it was self-defense. If I hadn't fired, dear Mr. Sheriff, what you see now may be your daughter's body."
"You call that a monster? A lizard nearly two meters tall?" the police chief sneered.
"Last month New York there was a weirdo with a tail that could spray acid on the streets. What is impossible for a Lizard Man-shaped monster?" Peter asked in return.
Gwen Stacy, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad, everything he said is true."
Captain Stacy gave his daughter a hard look, then turned to look at Peter: "Even if what you said is true, why did you come here from Queens in the middle of the night?"
Gwen Stacy immediately jumped in and said, "I went to find him! I wanted to ask Dr. Parker about the details of the experiment, but the doctor was not at home--"
"I took the initiative to accompany her." Peter interrupted Gwen Stacy and looked directly into the police chief's eyes. "A girl came to me for help crying in the middle of the night. I can't let her live on the street alone."
Captain Stacy stared at Peter for a long time, and the alertness in his eyes finally faded slightly.
He let out a long sigh, "Forget it...Parker, you can go. Go home and have a good rest...Gwen Stacy, you should go home too, your mother is worried to death."
Gwen Stacy snorted and pulled Peter out of the office quickly.
When we walked outside the police station gate, the morning sunshine had already filled the street.
Gwen Stacy angrily threw the cup of unpleasant coffee in Peter's hand into the trash can. "That's too much! You obviously saved someone, but he actually interrogated you as a suspect!"
Peter patted her shoulder. "He is a policeman and a father. It is his nature to overprotect his daughter."
Gwen Stacy rubbed his temples and breathed a sigh of relief, "This day is really long enough."
"You will get used to it in the future." Peter smiled, "See you later, I have to go to school."
"Wait a minute." Gwen Stacy stopped him and asked with a complicated expression, "Is that monster... really Dr. Connors?"
Peter put away his smile and nodded, "I saw reason in the monster's eyes. And... it spoke."
In fact, the monster didn't speak. Peter didn't want to reveal Spider-Man's identity, so he could only make up an explanation.
Gwen Stacy took a breath. "Oh my God... we must save him! We must develop an antidote to reverse the gene!"
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Peter took out a silver USB flash drive from his pocket and waved it in front of Gwen Stacy.
Gwen Stacy's eyes widened instantly. "This is... the evidence that the police took from the Connors laboratory?! When did you get it?!"
Peter blinked and showed a sly smile, "Do you think I was really just in a daze at the police station for four hours? My strong point is to pull the strings."
Gwen Stacy burst out laughing, his eyes filled with wonder, "Peter·Parker, you are such a mysterious guy."
"Is this a compliment?"
"Forget it." Gwen Stacy smiled and wrote down his phone number, "Keep in touch and we will find a way to find Dr. Connors together."
Ten minutes later, Baxter Building.
Peter returned to his exclusive laboratory and took off his hoodie.
"Sassy, send a note to the school and say that I am sick and asking for leave." Peter inserted the silver USB flash drive into the central terminal and ordered, "Also, send a message to my home and say that I left early in the morning."
"Okay, Spider."
Data is quickly imported into the terminal.
Peter flipped through the copied police evidence, most of which were photos of the scene and collected physical evidence records, as well as emails and files from Connors's computer. Soon, a document marked Roxxon Corporation surfaced - it was a shipping list of dangerous chemical reagents, which clearly stated that these reagents would damage genes and were probably related to gene splicing technology!
Looking at this irrefutable evidence, Peter's lips curved into a cold and cruel arc.
After lurking for so long, he finally caught Roxxon Corporation's weak point!
Peter put on the Spider helmet, and his cold electronic eyes glowed with dazzling light.
"Sassy, call up all the information of Roxxon Corporation."
Peter's voice echoed in the empty laboratory:
"It's time to bring these bastards down once and for all."
It's quiet at night.
Massachusetts In a tree crown in a remote suburb, Peter crouched on a thick branch. The vision of the suit mask automatically zoomed in, locking on the fifteen-story building standing in the night a kilometer and a half away.
The building was dark, and most of the windows were covered with film, making it difficult to see what was going on inside. At twelve o'clock at midnight, this wilderness was eerily quiet.
In order to get here, he first took a train, then took a taxi, and got off the bus more than a kilometer away from his destination. He paid the driver $50, but he seemed to understand and didn't ask any questions.
"I really miss my flying sports car..." Peter sighed inwardly. But in extraordinary times, this sacrifice is nothing.
Tonight is Friday, and he has left himself two days of free movement. Before going out, he only said hello to his family and said that he would work overtime in the laboratory. Aunt May and Uncle Ben had no suspicion at all.
The building in front of you is an internal secret base of Roxxon Corporation - that is to say, it will never appear in any public official documents. The only thing in the world that can prove the existence of this place is the top-secret files in Curt·Connors's computer.
Peter spent a whole day locating here. After squinting for a while on the train, he was now full of energy and ready to tear apart the dark corners of this multinational giant in one fell swoop.
He jumped up, slipped lightly from the branch, and approached the building under the cover of night.
A towering protective barbed wire fence was erected around the building, and five patrolling security guards were holding flashlights to check back and forth. Peter drew an arc in the air, directly crossed the barbed wire fence, raised his hand to click Silk-Shooter, used the force to swing to the side wall of the building, and quickly climbed up to the roof against the wall.
A towering radio transmission tower stands in the center of the roof. For a company like Roxxon that controls a huge intelligence network, all data transmission and security monitoring are inseparable from this tower.
"Sassy, connect to the security system defense line and dig out all the details about this place." Peter pulled out the connecting cable of Scanning Adapter and directly inserted it into the data interface of the tower base.
"Decrypting..." AI Sassy's voice sounded in the headset, and then he listed the building's security architecture one by one, "Basic configuration: motion sensors, monitoring probes, infrared lasers... etc., Spider, something is wrong on the fifth floor."
