Chapter 44: Two Lizards (Today's Second Update)
"It doesn't look like he's hurt in any serious way, just a cracked bone. "Frank the Punisher rushed to the edge of the Hudson River after receiving a call from Li Jie, and Li Jie led him to his secret base to show Spider-Man Peter if he was seriously injured.www.biquge.info
"I fixed the position of the bones with a support frame to prevent displacement. If the recovery is good, it can be recovered in a few days. Frank wrapped the spider like a rice dumpling.
"Oh~ thank you man, my name is Spider-Man, you call it that. Peter wrapped it like a rice dumpling, and stiffly stretched out his hand to shake Frank's hand.
"Frank Custer. "Frank doesn't give himself a nickname, and he never hides his face in any way, the name of the Punisher is the name of his enemies.
"I watched the news before, and you're making a lot of noise in the Bronx. What is the origin of that big lizard?" asked Frank, finding an improvised chair and sitting down.
"I don't know, but it's certainly not a good thing. It is said that he ran out of the Disabled Veterans Hospital, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Osborne Group. Of course, Li Jie knew that this thing was caused by Connors and Peter's failed experiment, but now he could only pretend not to know.
"This thing is very troublesome, we have to stop him! After turning into a lizard, his bloodlust and dark anger in his heart will be infinitely magnified, which will cause a lot of damage, and a lot of innocent people will be injured. Peter continued.
"How do you know how bloodthirsty and angry you will become when you become a lizard?" Frank looked at Peter with a suspicious gaze, a good intelligence officer could always spot suspicions in the other party's unintentional conversations.
"Because ~ because when I went to the Osborne Group to purchase spider silk before, I overheard them talking about the new project they were developing, which was this lizard serum, and the side effect was this. "Peter's response this time is quite fast, at least the lie is self-consistent.
However, this level of lying is not enough for Frank to deceive, but Frank has no intention of pursuing it now, after all, everyone has secrets that they don't want to be discovered, as long as they are righteous, he doesn't want to pursue some details.
"Where did you find this little guy, is he an adult?" asked Frank suddenly turning to Li Jie.
"I picked it up from the garbage heap, as for adulthood~ I think it should be an adult, but this Spider-Man looks more naïve. I don't usually hire child labor. Li Jie was rummaging through the boxes of food and drinks he had stockpiled.
"Hey, I didn't pick it up from the garbage! And I'll tell you uncle~ I'm an adult. The little spider protested angrily.
"Okay~ Great Spider-Man, let's eat something first!" Li Jie threw a bottle of milk and two bags of cheese bread at Peter. Lee Jay and Frank were beer and sausages and a bottle of jalapeños with whole cheese and toast. After playing for so long tonight and running so far, Li Jie really felt hungry.
"Hey~hey~hey!It's not fair!Why do I have to drink milk and eat cheese and bread!It's something that schoolchildren eat!"," Peter protested. Compared to the two of them eating sausages with beer and chili peppers, the supper in front of Peter was like a baby meal.
"Patients can't eat too spicy and greasy! And even if you have a passport, I don't think you're of legal drinking age. Li Jie unceremoniously rejected Peter's request to eat sausages and drink beer, and the legal drinking age in the United States is 21.
For the sake of Peter's healthy growth, Li Jie decided not to let him get into alcoholic beverages too early. Then Li Jie, who is now only seventeen years old, touched the bottle and drank most of the beer in one gulp.
While Li Jie and the three were eating and drinking in the secret base, the lizard warrior Zod was hiding in a corner and licking his wounds alone.
The part injured by Li Jie has begun to recover, and the severed claw is also regrowing. The recovery at the cost of a large amount of his own energy has made Zod feel hungry and exhausted now.
But he didn't dare to go out to look for food now, his current size was too obvious, and he would be discovered as soon as he went out. Zod's current hiding place is inside an abandoned dam building.
The dam that was supposed to supply electricity to the periphery of New York was abandoned because of the construction of an even larger dam upstream of the river, and has now been abandoned for more than a decade.
The dam was discovered when Zod was a student, and it was where he and his friends met in secret. It is the only place where Zod feels safe.
"Zod~!Zod!Are you there?" Just as Zod was suffering from hunger and exhaustion, a voice suddenly came.
The voice seemed familiar, but Zod didn't dare to confirm that it was the one he was familiar with, and now he had become a monster and no longer trusted other normal humans.
Zod immediately found a place to hide, secretly using his thermal imaging eyes to see in the direction the sound came from.
There was a figure in the place, and it was getting closer. "Zod~!It's me!I'm Reed, I'm here to help you!"
Zod and Reed were friends when they were in school, and they also enlisted in the army. Zod graduated from West Point as a grassroots commander and served as a platoon commander in the unit, while Reed was an ordinary young man who was drafted into the army and was assigned to Zod's men after enlistment.
Two years of childhood friends have fought side by side, and they have eliminated many terrorists. Rescued many ordinary civilians who had been kidnapped and abducted by terrorists.
The two of them strictly abide by military discipline, even in the Middle East where a piece of chocolate can be exchanged for the chastity of a young girl. Because of the two of them, a platoon under Zod became the most brave and well-organized unit of the local American army.
The two had fantasized about ending the war together so that the local people could live in peace. Maybe this idea is naïve, but it is the enthusiasm of two young people.
But it was all ended by a car bomb on the side of the road in Baghdad. Zod's platoon was out on duty and was hit by a car bomb. Of the fifteen people in the entire platoon, only Zod and Reed survived.
The remaining thirteen people all returned to heaven and left with their ideals and regrets. And the living Reed and Zod have also become disabled, and both have been ruthlessly abandoned by the government.
How hot-blooded a person used to be, then how angry he was after blackening. Both Reed and Zod are frustrated with the government, and this frustration eventually turns into anger.
So Reed did not hesitate to participate in the company's renovation plan, so Zod agreed to Dr. Sean's human trials, and they were all eager for the day when they had the strength to take revenge on this unscrupulous government!
Zod, who was hiding in the shadows, heard Reed's shouts, but he still didn't dare to show up. It's been three years since Reid left the Veterans Hospital for the Disabled, and he's not sure if Reed is friend or foe now.
"Listen to Zod! I watched the TV news and I know what you're doing. I'm here to help you, I'm your best friend, please trust me. Reed didn't have thermal eyes to spot Zod in the dark, so he could only shout into the empty room.
"Reed~ Get out of here! I can't guarantee that I won't hurt you, do you know what I look like now!" Zod finally chose to dissuade Reed, using only reason to make him not want to hurt his friend.
"Zod, you're here, come with me. I can help you. Don't worry about hurting me, I'm just like you right now. Reed heard Zod's voice and said a little excitedly.
Reed unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his gray-green skin and thin scales, like a lizard. Zod walked out of the darkness with surprise and stared at Reed, who had been transformed into a lizard like himself.
