.....
Gwen climbed carefully to the top of the sewer, taking every step very cautiously, in fear of being contaminated by the dirt on the top of the sewer.
Gwen looked around with disgust on her face, and even her breath was filled with the stench of the sewer.
"Damn it! If that Super Soldier is really Peter Parker, I'm going to make him pay!"
While speaking, Gwen accidentally pressed her hand on a black, sticky, unknown object. Gwen threw the black object away with disgust on her face and became more cautious.
Ten minutes later, Gwen looked at the five ways in front of her, confused, not knowing which way to go.
Without any guidance, and with Gwen having no idea of the layout of New York City's sewers, she now seemed to be... lost.
Gwen hesitated for a moment before the ways in front of her, and finally left the sewer through a manhole cover. It seemed that she had suffered in the sewer in vain.
It was simply a fantasy to want to catch Dr. Lizard in this intricate sewer without any guidance. Gwen could only wish the Super Soldier good luck.
"Eh, it smells so bad! Damn it, I'll have to go back and take a long shower to get rid of this smell!"
After coming out of the sewer, Gwen still smelled a foul odor. She sniffed around and finally determined that the smell came from her body.
Gwen looked at her uniform with disgust and immediately rushed home, thinking that she must take a shower when she got home, and she would not stop until she washed off the smell on her body, otherwise she would be embarrassed at school tomorrow.
"Gwen went home? Okay, I get it."
Peter was relieved after receiving news from Yue that Gwen had returned home.
After all, Gwen's suit is not waterproof and air filtering like Peter's. To put it nicely, it is made of special fabric, but to put it bluntly, it is just a tights. She came to this sewer just to suffer.
"He stopped. It looks like I have reached his lair."
Looking at the stopped red dot in his sight, Peter quickened his pace, took out the superluminal "Alpha" blade from the system space and held it in his hand ready to fight at any time.
At the same time, he glanced at the location on the map of the hive drones. All the hive drones were constantly converging towards Peter.
After all, the 2.0 version of the honeycomb drone has attack capabilities. Due to its size, the damage is not great, but when the number reaches a certain level, it will cause a qualitative change.
Peter will naturally not let go of this help.
Of course, the main use of the honeycomb drone is to prevent Dr. Lizard from escaping.
A few minutes later, Peter followed the instructions and came to the place where Dr. Lizard was hiding. It seemed to be an abandoned sewer control room, which had been transformed beyond recognition by Dr. Lizard.
In addition to basic daily necessities such as sofas, there were all kinds of experimental equipment, as well as draft papers and test tubes filled with unknown liquids scattered all over the table.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Peter turned on the stealth mode and came in quietly, so he was not discovered by Dr. Lizard. However, what surprised Peter was that he did not see Dr. Lizard at first glance.
The positioning clearly showed that Dr. Lizard was indeed here, but why couldn't he see him? Dr. Lizard was three meters tall and there was no place for him to hide here!
So Peter began to look for Dr. Lizard's trace in this space.
Soon Peter discovered Dr. Lizard... no, it should be said that Dr. Connors.
Dr. Connors was seen lying unconscious on the sofa in a white coat. The lizard-like green scales on his skin were slowly fading away. It seemed that the time for the lizard potion to take effect had passed.
The wound on his right arm that was originally caused by Peter had healed, leaving only a faint scar that had not disappeared. As long as Dr. Connors transformed into Dr. Lizard again, even the scar would not remain.
Looking at Dr. Connors who had passed out on the sofa, Peter glanced at the superluminal "Alpha" blade in his hand and hesitated whether to take action.
Dr. Connors now would not resist at all. Even an ordinary person can easily kill him. If Peter wants to kill Dr. Connors, now is the best time.
But for some reason, Peter didn't want to kill Dr. Connors lying on the sofa. Compared with killing Dr. Connors directly, there is a better way to maximize Dr. Connors' value, which is to make Dr. Connors his subordinate and do research on him.
Dr. Connors might not be a big deal compared to a pervert like Tony Stark, but he is a rare genius among ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make the lizard potion.
Although it is a failure, it is also something that ordinary people cannot make in their entire lives.
"Hmm~"
Just as Peter was struggling over whether to kill Dr. Connors, Dr. Connors, who was lying unconscious on the sofa, woke up.
Dr. Connors was still a little confused after waking up. He knocked his head with his left hand to clear his confused brain a little. Then Dr. Connors recalled what he had done before.
Although Dr. Connors' personality had changed a lot due to the influence of the lizard potion, his face still turned pale when he recalled the bloody scene.
Seeing that Dr. Connors had woken up, Peter did not continue to turn on the stealth mode. After all, he had already planned to recruit Dr. Connors as his subordinate, so naturally he had to have a good chat with him.
Dr. Connors was frightened by the man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He subconsciously hid behind the sofa and picked up the syringe beside him in the hope of giving himself a sense of security.
"Super Soldier!"
After all, Dr. Connors still clearly remembered that he was shot badly by him on the Manhattan Bridge when he just turned into Dr. Lizard, and then he was almost killed by him tonight.
Dr. Connors looked at Super Soldier and thought, could it be that he tracked him here just to kill him? Now he is in human form and has no power to resist. Besides, he does not have the lizard potion and cannot turn into Dr. Lizard and escape. It seems that he may die here today.
Dr. Connors felt very unwilling to accept this, because his lizard potion was only a little bit away from completion, which would allow him to completely heal his broken right arm and allow all humans to complete their evolution.
Looking at Dr. Connors's vigilant face, Peter was very helpless. He put away the superluminal "Alpha" battle blade, spread out his hands to show Dr. Connors, indicating that he had no weapon.
Then Peter looked at Dr. Connors.
"Dr. Connors, I have no ill will towards you, otherwise I would have killed you when you were just unconscious, and I would not have let you live now."
"And even if I have bad intentions towards you, do you think you have the ability to resist with your current human body?"
Although what Peter said was very harsh, it was true.
Dr. Connors thought so too. If he had not the lizard potion and the power to resist, it would be easy for Super Soldier to kill him in his current human body. So he dropped the syringe in his hand and sat directly on the sofa.
"You're right. If you want to attack me, I'm no match for you. I believe that you didn't kill me because you have something to tell me."
Peter looked at Dr. Connors, nodded, and went straight to the point, stating his purpose.
"That's right! Originally, based on what you did, Dr. Connors, I did want to kill you, but then I thought it would be a pity for a genius like you to die like this, so I want you to do something for me. As a reward, I will heal your right hand and help you perfect your research on lizard potion. What do you think?"
