A bright red Chevrolet Camaro was driving on the streets of New York, its body shining with a dazzling metallic luster in the sun. The shape was exactly the same as the Bumblebee in the movie "Transformers". For any big boy, being able to drive this kind of car for a ride was simply a childhood dream coming true.
"This car is so handsome." Peter couldn't help cheering as he looked at the beautiful red figure passing through the traffic.
Jessica held the steering wheel and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "I knew you would like it, so I specially chose this car. My boss complained at the time that this car was not concealed at all and did not comply with the rules of an agent operating in a low profile. But I told him that it was precisely because everyone felt that it was impossible for an agent to drive this kind of car, so it became the perfect disguise."
Peter blinked. "This logic... is actually quite convincing."
"I'm not just good-looking." Jessica turned his face and smiled.
Peter looked at her side face, and a subtle feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. Although he knew Jessica's past and knew that she was born in the past and had slept in the ice for a long time, he still seemed to know very little about her personal details.
"By the way, Jessica," Peter asked casually, "Are you free tonight?"
"I've said it before, until this matter Roxxon is resolved, I have to stay in this city as your liaison."
Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "That's perfect. Do you want to watch a movie together tonight?"
Jessica glanced at him sideways. "Like a date?"
"It's not like a date, it's just a date."
"Have you forgotten that the relationship between us is already very close?" Jessica reminded with a smile.
Peter chuckled softly, "That's different. I know we are attracted to each other, but I want to get to know the real you more deeply."
Jessica The curve of the corner of his mouth deepened. "I didn't expect you to be quite romantic at heart. Okay, watching a movie tonight is considered a formal date. But I have to make some things clear first."
"What words?"
Jessica put away his joking eyes and looked seriously at the road ahead. "In the previous incident, I was not affected by any pheromones. I really like you."
Peter was stunned. "Why?"
"It's simple," she smiled, "I like being with you."
Hearing this, Peter felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.
The sports car quickly arrived at the door of Empire State University.
Gwen Stacy is standing at the school gate waiting. She is wearing a purple hoodie and black trousers, her blond hair is tied into a small ponytail behind her head, and she has delicate light makeup on her face.
Jessica parked the car firmly in front of Gwen Stacy. When Peter opened the door and walked out, Gwen Stacy's eyes widened instantly. "Peter? Is this your car?"
"No, it's hers." Peter pointed at Jessica who got off the driver's seat.
Jessica stood up straight, her tall figure carrying a fierce aura. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Gwen Stacy condescendingly.
"Um... Hello." Gwen Stacy seemed a little embarrassed. In front of Jessica, who was tall and exuded the charm of a mature woman, she was obviously uncomfortable and her mood was low.
Peter keenly captured Gwen Stacy's emotional changes and broke the embarrassment with a smile, "Gwen Stacy, this is Jessica·Drew. She is my friend and her skills are very powerful. I thought since I am here to investigate, there is no harm in bringing a reliable helper."
"Oh... so, you are considered a bodyguard?" Gwen Stacy asked in a low voice.
Jessica looked down at the girl in front of him and nodded slightly. "Absolutely. Are you Gwen Stacy?"
"Yes, Gwen Stacy·Stacy." The girl swallowed, her tone tight.
Jessica didn't speak, but still stared at Gwen Stacy with that cold look, but Peter clearly sensed a hint of bad taste in her - this woman was purely enjoying the fun of scaring the little girl.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Peter clapped his hands, "Gwen Stacy, what did you find this morning?"
"Follow me." Gwen Stacy quickly turned around and led the two of them through the somewhat eerie iron gate again. The campus during the day was less eerie than last night, but there was still uneasiness in the air.
The three of them once again arrived at the laboratory where the murder occurred last night. The yellow warning tape had been pulled up, blocking the way, but it was obviously ineffective for the three of them, so everyone stepped over it in tacit understanding.
The blood stains left by the injured police officer on the ground had dried up and turned into dark red traces. Looking at that scene, the anger in Peter's heart surged up again. At this moment, Jessica gently put his hand on his shoulders, and the silent comfort calmed his chaotic heart instantly.
"When I came here this morning, I found that the equipment here was missing." Gwen Stacy walked to a corner of the laboratory and pointed to the ground. The ground there was obviously much cleaner than the surrounding areas, and it was obvious that large instruments had been placed before.
"Do you know the specific model of the missing device?" Peter squatted down and looked at the traces on the ground.
"Here, I've listed it." Gwen Stacy handed over a piece of cardboard with a list of laboratory equipment recorded on it. The item that was crossed out was a micro-diffusion device.
Peter stared at that name, and his heart suddenly sank.
The development of the plot actually collided with "The Amazing Spider-Man" - Lizard Man plans to use some means to turn all New York citizens into giant lizards!
"If this is what was stolen," Peter turned to Jessica with a solemn expression, "It means that the other party is planning to launch a biological attack. We must immediately persuade the officials to quarantine the city, and at the same time let S.H.I.E.L.D. search the sewers."
Jessica raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure?"
"This device has the potential to become a biochemical weapon. Depending on the serum it is filled with, its destructive power may be fatal. Even if it is not the Lizard who does it, there is still a biochemical bomb hanging in the city that could explode at any time."
Gwen Stacy couldn't help but interrupt, "What does 'having potential' mean?"
"This machine can atomize and diffuse serum into the air, but due to volume limitations, its diffusion range is limited. If they want to cause a truly devastating blow, they must obtain a military-grade large-scale biochemical diffusion device. This machine is just a simple version."
"Where can they get that kind of thing?" Jessica said as he took out his cell phone and typed messages quickly.
"Stark Industries is one." Peter shrugged.
"Tony·Stark stopped making weapons a long time ago," Gwen Stacy retorted, "It is impossible for him to have ready-made cutting-edge biological and chemical weapons."
"It makes sense..." Peter pondered for a moment, "Then there is only one company left in New York city that can get this kind of thing."
The two of them looked at him at the same time. "Who?"
"Osborn Enterprises." Peter gritted his teeth and spit out the name, "Why is it always Osborn..."
"I will contact S.H.I.E.L.D. now and ask them to intervene. At least Department of Homeland Security must take action immediately." After Jessica finished speaking, he walked aside and dialed the phone.
Gwen Stacy looked at Jessica's back and was stunned. "She actually carries S.H.I.E.L.D.'s direct phone number with her? What kind of background is she a bodyguard?"
Peter grinned. "A particularly powerful one. Okay, we have to prepare..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of cool wind suddenly blew across the back of his neck. Peter paused, turned around and looked at the window that was smashed last night.
Something is wrong.
