The genetic mutagen is in gaseous form! Lizard Man plans to use Osborn Enterprises's huge central ventilation system to pressurize and spray poisonous gas into the entire city! In this way, everyone will think that Osborn Enterprises has a fatal leak. Connors can not only complete the infection of the whole city, but also completely destroy the reputation of Norman·Osborn!
"Everyone, listen! I know his plan!" Peter shouted into the communicator and climbed back to the roof. "He wants to introduce the poison gas into the central ventilation duct!"
Jessica wondered, "That's wrong! If he relies on the building's ventilation system, why would he go out of his way to steal the diffusion device?"
"Because he wants to forcefully pressurize it!" Johnny reacted, "That machine can produce a huge amount of poisonous gas, but if it is discharged directly on the roof of the building, the poisonous gas will be blown away by the high-altitude wind. Genetic poisonous gas is lighter than air, right?"
"Yes!" Susan confirmed.
"So he must mix the poisonous gas into the exhaust flow of the building's ventilation ducts! Use the strong wind pressure to blow it all over the city!"
Peter cursed fiercely, "Damn! It's so insidious! Listen, you go and stop Lizard Man, I will be responsible for blocking all the vents in the building! Sassy--"
"Understood, Master!" Sassy immediately marked the locations of all ten external vents of Osborn Building in Peter's field of vision.
Peter quickly switched Silk-Shooter to high-density hardening mode and swung towards the nearest vent.
Amidst the howling wind, Peter pulled open the protective iron mesh of the vent, revealing the giant high-speed rotating exhaust fan inside. He threw in a Silk grenade without hesitation!
Boom! Silk exploded instantly, forcibly blocking the exhaust fan. Then, Peter sprayed out a large amount of specially hardened Silk, sealing the entire vent tightly, achieving an absolute air-tight effect.
One, two, three...
Peter moved quickly and blocked nine vents one after another. However, just as he was about to go to the last vent, a shrill scream suddenly came from the communication channel!
"Ah--!"
Peter pupils suddenly shrank. "Susan!"
"Peter! Susan fell from the window!" Jessica shouted anxiously.
Peter gave up the vent in an instant and swung towards the north exterior wall like crazy. "Where is Johnny?!"
"He is dragging Lizard Man to death! Go and save her!"
Sassy quickly marked the location where Susan fell. Peter swung around the corner of the building and saw at a glance the blond woman in a blue combat uniform falling from dozens of floors at an alarming speed!
At that moment, Peter's brain went blank.
The night wind tore at his nerves, and the image of another blond girl falling from a high bridge seemed to appear in front of his eyes - that was his deepest nightmare when he dreamed back at midnight!
'No!' Peter roared crazily in his heart, 'I will never let this tragedy happen again! Never!'
Peter let go of Silk, folded his arms, and fell downwards like a cannonball!
The distance quickly closed! Peter stretched out his hands suddenly, and the energy in his body surged crazily--
Phew! Phew!
Two mysterious light whips shining in red and gold burst out! That was "Wand of Watoomb"! Their speed even surpassed Silk, as if they were spiritual, they accurately wrapped around Susan's chest and abdomen at the critical moment!
Peter pulled hard and used gentle force to pull Susan back, holding her tightly in his arms!
"Got you!"
Peter hugged Susan with one hand, and shot Silk towards the outer wall of the building with the other hand! The strong pulling force made Silk stretch straight, and the two drew a thrilling arc in the air, smashed the glass window of the building with a bang, and fell heavily into the office floor.
Peter used his body as a cushion to protect Susan in his arms intact.
Huh... huh...
Peter was breathing heavily, his heart beating like thunder. He lowered his head, and Susan in his arms was looking at him with horror on his face, his blue eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"You... are you okay?" Peter let go of Silk, his voice was a little hoarse.
"I... I'm fine... where are you?!" Susan's voice was filled with a trembling cry.
Peter tried to smile easily, "Fortunately, I can't die. It's just that the pull was too strong just now, and my wrist may be a little dislocated. But I have super recovery ability, and it will be fine in a while. Otherwise, I will become a 'one-armed Spider-Man'..."
However, Susan was not moved by his humor at all.
"You lunatic!" Susan suddenly cried hoarsely and punched his chest hard, "Why are you doing this?! What if you fall to your death?!"
Peter was confused. "I have the ability to heal myself... don't you know?"
"Self-healing?! Can self-healing allow you to survive after being smashed into a pulp?!" Susan couldn't stop crying, "Who asked you to save me!"
"Hey! I just saved your life! Can't you say thank you!" Peter was also a little angry.
Susan cried even harder. Peter sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, Susan reached out and pressed the decryption button on the side of Peter's helmet. She took off the helmet, revealing Peter's young face.
Before the night breeze could cool Peter's face, Susan had already leaned forward and kissed his lips fiercely!
The kiss was passionate and panicked, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and long-repressed emotions. Peter was completely frozen in place.
After a few seconds, Susan slowly let go of him, his eyes full of struggle and confusion. "I... I don't know why I did this..."
Peter blinked and only managed to say, "Um... do you like this kiss?"
Susan nodded slightly, then quickly avoided his gaze. "Please... please stop talking. We have to stop Lizard Man... Please, take me up."
Peter silently put on his helmet again, and swung back to the 31st floor from the broken window with Susan in his arms.
The battle breaks out in the maintenance area!
