One hundred and thirty meters underground in the Manhattan Vault, the middle-aged Spider-Man led the three members of Team K out of the dangerous area occupied by the Underground People.

There wasn't much communication between the two sides.

Because Mason used Mary Jane to "seduce" Peter Parker, the only remaining superhero in New York, his Excellency was very unhappy, and if it wasn't for Mary Jane's persuasion, the two sides would definitely fight.

"That guy's strength is so great, the outburst just now is almost the same as the drugged Bane."

Beside Mason, Erkeg looked at the torn helmet in his hand and was quite dissatisfied, this thing protected him from bleeding from the previous impact, and it fully proved that even the middle-aged Spider-Man has quite terrifying destructive power.

"And he has the flexibility that Bane doesn't have at all."

Erkeo stared at the figure in front of him and summed up in a low voice:

"It's a tough opponent, but it's not invincible."

"You think you can beat him if his spider senses have deteriorated, Jason."

Mason looked at the increasingly "wide" and quiet surroundings in front of him, and he shook his head and said:

"Remember the time we 'competed' in Crime Alley before?"

"You mean the time you went crazy and became a monster?"

The second bucket snorted, recalling the brutal state of Mason when he transformed into "Wolverine" last time, and whispered:

"Is the so-called 'spider sense' the beast-like fighting instinct that Ling had after the last injection of that drug? That's tricky. ”

"No, the spider senses are more advanced than beast intuition, and it is the superlative power of all the fighting instinct talents."

Mason explains:

"At the height of Peter Parker's Spider-Man career, he could even anticipate the danger that was about to happen in a few seconds, and it was more of an 'unpredictable prophet' than a superreaction.

In that state, he won't be able to deal with bullets at all, unless your super shooting skills can be practiced to the point of 'sure hit'.

The Spider-Man in front of us is already nerfed.

But he can still knock us all down in melee combat, and to be honest, I'm really curious if my peers are blind.

Why didn't anyone try to recruit such a powerful character? ”

"Maybe they don't want to?"

Barbara thought for a moment and offered her opinion.

She glanced at Peter Parker, who was leading the way in silence in front of her, and whispered:

"Actually, when I entered the underground vault, I was thinking about a question, Mason, if all the survivors in the city were brought into that Osborne tower to do hard labor, why did this vault survive?

Is there a possibility that Osborne's side is also helping this place to hide?

I mean, this is the basic world of the Seria Squad, and even if the other pioneers don't know how powerful Spider-Man is, Mr. Sandstorm who was born here certainly does.

Perhaps he also wanted to recruit Spider-Man, but for various reasons he couldn't.

Maybe he uses this place as his 'vegetable garden', Spider-Man as a melon and fruit that can be taken away at any time, or even the superheroes gathered here as some kind of special 'resource'. ”

The Bat Maiden paused and said:

"Just as Mary Jane told us that the last time someone entered the Vault and took Gwen and Frank, every once in a while outsiders would enter the Vault and pick out their favorite team members.

Don't you think?

It's like a 'la carte supermarket'!

Perhaps the Six-Headed Snake Squad regards this 'hero trafficking' as a business, and Spider-Man is the 'finale commodity' that Mr. Sandstorm left for himself. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Mason and Erkei glanced at each other.

The two nodded, and before they could say more, they suddenly felt the ground shake again.

This time the shaking was more violent than the previous standard thirty-minute tremors, and lasted nearly twenty seconds, and there were even small pieces of stone falling on top of the increasingly wide dark cavern, and smashing around Team K.

After the shaking calmed down, all four people, including Spider-Man, fell into an unspeakable silence.

The situation is getting worse.

And it's getting worse at a rapid pace.

Mary Jane's fears were not unfounded, and at this rate of intensification, an earthquake in a few days would lead to inevitable casualties in the underground shelters.

"Doodle, Doot"

The microcomputer on Barbara's wrist suddenly vibrate, and she glanced at the communicator on Zakkang's side, and immediately turned it on, and then Konstantin's muffled voice rang out from it.

"Hey, Mason? Still alive? If you're dead, squeak, and I'll take the three girls to find another home. ”

"Shut up."

Mason replied angrily.

The three of them stopped, and Spider-Man, who was leading the way in front of him, also stopped, seemingly resting, but actually pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the internal conversation of Team K.

But Mason didn't even bother to hide it.

He asked:

"How's Osborne doing? How did it take so long to communicate? ”

"Don't mention, there's an idiot who can manipulate electricity and keep an eye on us."

Za Kang said gloomily:

"What a disgusting and nasty ability! It's really enviable. All electronic devices are hidden in front of him, and if he wants to, he can watch all the small movies of his private life recorded by all the cameras in a city without being detected.

Thankfully, Barbara gave him a gadget that was beyond his comprehension and had the ability to isolate detection, otherwise it wouldn't have survived.

This is going to be the brainless guy who wants to pick up girls and get drunk by Selena and Elizabeth together, so I found a chance to hide in the bathroom and talk to you.

Okay, I'll cut it short.

Sandstorm is a complete bastard, he has taken all our gear off and put us under house arrest in disguise, and he doesn't seem to be going to help.

He has several reserve members here, including vultures who operate oversized mechanical wings, and electric light people who can transform into electric light shuttling through electricity.

I also spotted a violent maniac dressed like a jungle hunter in the Osborne Tower, and I don't know if it was a servant of the Sandman, but the guy had his eye on Selena

But not the kind of attention that normal men have for normal women.

I could feel that he was using Selena as a 'prey' to relieve boredom.

According to the drunken Den-Shine Population, there should also be an illusionist named Mysterio in their reserve team, as well as two cannon fodder who fight with mechanical armor and brute force.

One is called a scorpion and the other is called a rhinoceros.

Now that they and the vultures have been sent out to the city, no one knows what they are doing. ”

"The Evil Six, sure enough."

Mason jotted down this information and asked:

"Is there any news on your side about this regular tremor?"

"The Electric Light Man doesn't know much, but he shares a secret in order to show Elizabeth his 'charm'."

Zakang laughed smilingly.

He said:

"In addition to the Six-Headed Serpent Squad, there is also a master named 'Green Goblin' in Osborne Tower, and that guy is the real master here.

It is said that he is the partner of the Star Society in this world.

But the Green Goblin doesn't just serve the Stellar Society, according to the Electro Man, the two-faced guy is also serving the 'Cleaners' at the same time.

He helped them mine something in this world, and the whole Osborne Tower was built for that reason.

The constant vibrations have to do with what is being mined.

Oh, and one more point.

According to the Dianguang people, the vibrations that have occurred in the city in the past few days have been specially arranged by their boss, in order to force a sworn enemy to show up.

After Mr. Sandstorm's squad is wiped out, he desperately needs some powerful people to join him.

That nemesis was his target. ”

After Zakang finished speaking, the three of them looked back at Spider-Man at the same time.

The middle-aged man kicked the small stone at his feet fiercely, and Barbara's guess came true, and all this was really for Spider-Man.

"Okay, I won't tell you, if I don't get out of the toilet again, they'll suspect my man's manhood."

The sound of flushing water sounded on Zakang's side, and he said:

"Hurry up and get here, Sandstorm is an impatient fellow, and I suspect he'll have a showdown with us by tomorrow at the latest.

Perhaps he sent three of his men to the city for you.

You know what I mean? Mason, if he can bring your head back, then the merger of Team K into Team Sixa is a sure thing, it seems that you offended him quite hard last time. ”

"That's a good thing, John."

A sneer curled into the corner of Mason's mouth and said:

"That means we don't have to put any pressure on us to take them out, and you and Charles take care of the girls and don't get taken advantage of by those idiots.

We'll do it as soon as possible. ”

With that, the communication was cut off.

Mason moved his fingers and looked up at Spider-Man in front of him, and said:

"Are we still suspicious of our motives? Peter, you see, I said at the beginning that we could work together. The Sandmen are clearly trying to blackmail you with the lives of the people in the Vault, and sure enough, it is your enemies who know your power best. ”

"Just because they're bastards doesn't mean you're not."

Peter was still as cynical.

He said angrily:

"Let's go to Dr. Connors first and figure out what Osborna is up to, and then we'll talk about the cooperation."

"Okay."

Mason didn't care, and the four of them hit the road again, but after a few seconds, Mason suddenly said:

"It doesn't matter if it's another bastard who destroys one bastard, a civil war between evil and evil always benefits the good side, Peter.

I know that you and your world have been through a lot of torture that I can't imagine, but you should help us even from the most utilitarian and realistic point of view.

It won't hurt you. ”

"Shh

Spider-Man turned back and gestured silently, and he whispered:

"Dr. Connors' lab is nearby! Be quiet! As far as I know, the once venerable professor has been injecting himself with mutant potions since before the end of the world, and he hasn't reverted back to his human form for years.

As a cold-blooded creature, he doesn't have that many emotions to talk about, and we have to be careful to approach and show that we have no ill will in order to get a chance to talk to him.

And also!

Don't try to attack him.

You've seen Dr. Connors's followers, and those half-lizards are tough enough to deal with, but you won't know what 'fear' is until you actually face Dr. Lizard.

His crocodile-like teeth still give me nightmares, huh? ”

Peter watched the faces of the three people in front of him change drastically and raised their weapons to aim at him, and then silently retreated, the expression under his mask twitched, and said:

"He's right behind me, right?"

"Don't move! Peter. ”

Mason stared at the behemoth slowly emerging from the darkness behind Spider-Man, and he tightened his grip on the widowmaker rifle in his hand, replacing it with the most destructive enchanted explosive projectile.

He whispered:

"Don't move, his teeth are on your head, just a bite."

"It's just like the legendary Gustav crocodile!"

Barbara also whispered.

She had never seen anything so exaggerated in Gotham, and the big lizard in the white robe in front of her was much more "exciting" than a guy like a killer crocodile.

This thing in front of me is as long as the body, and the tail can be more than eight meters straight!

The eerie eyes that reflected the light in the darkness not only had the ferocity of a beast, but also a chilling cold wisdom that belonged to humans.

Most peculiarly, he was holding a beaker in his forelimbs that were enough to crush his skull with a single claw, containing a blue liquid.

And above the lizard-doctor's murderous mouth was a pair of black-rimmed glasses that were too large.

These two things add a little bit of "humanity" to this behemoth.

"Dr. Connors! Do you remember me? ”

Spider-Man took a deep breath, reached out and took off his hood, turned back to the giant erect lizard staring at him in front of him, and said:

"I'm Parker, your former intern. Hmm, you're bigger than before, is there a big improvement in the reptile booster you've been pushing on? ”

"Peter, of course, I remember you."

To everyone's relief, the ferocious erect lizard didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, and although the low, muddy voice sounded uncomfortable, he did speak.

This means that he still maintains the wisdom he once had.

Mason lowered his gun, as did Barrel and Barbara, an act that caused Dr. Lizard's eyes to flip like a real lizard, glancing at them and then distracting.

He looked at Spider-Man in front of him, looked up and down, and said:

"You look like you've had a terrible couple of years, Peter, this fat belly isn't what Spider-Man should be. I'm in the process of improving my serum, which requires long-term research and concentration, so I'm not going to invite you into my lab.

Tell me, what are you doing here? ”

Dr. Lizard pushed his glasses with his other paw and said indifferently:

"You should be able to understand that the fact that I'm hiding one hundred and thirty meters underground means that I don't really want to be disturbed."

"Doom is at hand, Doctor."

Spider-Man didn't hide it, telling everything he just knew, and after saying that, Mason also took out the recording of the call just now as evidence.

The young man looked up and down at Dr. Lizard's formidable exterior and the explosive power hidden beneath the green scales, and he pushed the gold-rimmed frame of his glasses without lenses on the bridge of his nose, and whispered:

"Actually, Peter is still too kind, even if he has experienced hardship, he is not willing to think too darkly about human nature, but I have another guess, Dr. Connors.

Perhaps the Sandman and the Green Goblin are causing constant earthquakes in the city not only to blackmail Peter, but you are also most likely among their targets.

Even your value is higher in their eyes than the middle-aged Peter.

The Lizard Mutant Serum you have in your hands can turn a group of unarmed civilians into a slaughtering herd overnight, and even more importantly, your serum is already very complete and does very little damage to the user.

For the organizations I work with, this is exactly what they need. ”

Mason coughed, stared at the big lizard wagging its tail in front of him, and concluded:

"To sum up, helping us is also helping you, if our raid fails, then Osborne Tower will have an absolute advantage against the people of the Underground.

That's not a good thing for you. ”

"I know all of that."

Dr. Consner sighed humanly in the form of a large lizard, obviously a cold-blooded creature, but at this moment he vaguely showed the appearance of the calm and wise biologist he once had.

It says:

"Osborne offered me an invitation two years ago, but I declined, and I expected that guy to be a thief. I've been improving the potion just to prevent him from taking risks.

Peter, I am personally inclined to help you.

But it is up to you to convince the people of the underground whether they want to go or not, and I have never interfered with their underground life and their brutal and boring little politics.

I can't give you an answer to the question of vibration though, that's not my area of expertise. ”

Dr. Lizard, licking his daunting teeth with his bright red tongue, said:

"But you don't have to be disappointed, you can go to another person, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, and he lives nearby, a 'neighbor' who is not liked.

Well, Peter, don't look surprised.

The world on earth may have been destroyed, but there are still many recluses underground. ”
