Mason wanted to discuss the issue of the reinforcing potion with Dr. Lizard, a true "professional", and he believed that Dr. Connors would be able to bring some very useful help to his alchemy skills.

But now wasn't a good time to discuss skills, as another jolt struck between the crowd and Dr. Lizard.

It was like a heavy burden on everyone, and Barbara, who had always been the most optimistic, no longer smiled, and they continued to move towards the other side of the empty underground cavern under the guidance of Dr. Connors.

It's not a comfortable ride, especially when the "lizardmen" who have become accustomed to living underground hide in the dark.

The thought that these guys were once living people just survived under the apocalypse and took the initiative to become like this makes a kind girl like Barbara shudder.

Ten minutes later, a small eerie hut appeared in front of everyone.

It was built on the side of a karst cave and was surrounded by light strips and a generator set in operation but there was not much noise.

Its exterior has a wasteland punk feel to it, and the exterior outline of the house is a large abandoned vehicle, much like the iron shell of a large personnel carrier that has been modified.

Next to the glowing room was the iron shell of a strange robot, which had been converted into something like a barbecue grill.

A large amount of miscellaneous items are placed around in an irregular manner.

A retrieved refrigerator was ajar, filled with discarded cans of home-brewed beer, and even music could be heard coming from the room as the four approached with strange expressions.

It was pre-war music, with soft blues accompanied by a virtuosic violin solo, turning what could have been listening to music into a form of torture.

"Aggressive"

In order to prevent everyone's ears from suffering, the old spider immediately came up and knocked on the door very politely.

"Wait a minute."

A slow voice sounded from within.

The voice made Spider-Man's face change greatly, but it was too late to leave, and the next second the welding door was opened.

A sloppy fat man who looked fifty or sixty years old poked his head out and glanced at it, his round face was covered with a pair of coquettish black sunglasses, and his messy hair was already showing some signs of baldness.

He wore a half-worn bagny shirt with the famous anti-war slogan "akeLoveNotar" written on it.

The whole panache of an elderly hippie.

Even the slow expression on his face was the same.

"Yikes! Peter!"

This guy was pleasantly surprised and opened his arms to Spider-Man, who had taken a few steps back in front of him, looking like a warm acquaintance, but Spider-Man took a few steps back vigilantly, and crossed his hands to make a "no approach" look.

He said suspiciously:

"Dr. Otto? What are you?"

"Ah, I'm glad you remember my name instead of calling me 'Doctor Octopus'."

The owner of the cottage nodded with satisfaction, and did not hide his identity in the slightest, standing at the door, wearing fluffy octopus accessory slippers, patted his empty shoulder and said to the four visitors in front of him:

"Don't worry, folks, the mechanical assistant that affects my mind has been dismantled and discarded, and I haven't touched it in three years, nay, lo and behold!

The bad stuff is there!

I have taught myself spirituality and meditation over the years to adjust my mind and get my life back on track.

The only regret is that when I understand the value of peace, the world has already perished.

But it doesn't matter.

Take care of yourself even in the apocalypse, right?

Come, come, my cake is almost baked, and if you don't like the sugar I put in it, I'll be happy to share it with you."

Mason turned his head to look in the direction of Doctor Octopus's chubby fingers that seemed to be not in his right mind.

Sure enough, it looked like it was built from Ultron's rusty and abandoned body

In the garbage heap next to the grill, there are four hideous silver-gray mechanical tentacles.

It had not been properly maintained for a long time, and it looked so bad that it was coiled together like a dead steel serpent.

There is no trace of the glory of high-tech destructive creations.

"Glad to see you find yourself, Dr. Otto."

After figuring out the truth of the matter, Spider-Man let out a sigh of relief and congratulated.

It's the end of the world, but it's always a good thing to have one less antagonist.

And the chubby and kind professor in front of him, like Dr. Connors just now, is a figure who brought great inspiration and encouragement to Peter Parker when he was young.

Although they became his enemies because of a series of events, in Peter's mind, these two have always been the role of "teachers".

It's just that he's not in the mood to eat any octopus cake right now.

He took off his hood and walked into the punk room in front of him, and said to Dr. Otto, who was humming a song and busily opening the strange oven converted from a particle cannon:

"Doctor, I'm here for the shaking that has been getting worse in recent times, and I already know it has something to do with what Osborna is excavating, and Dr. Connors told me you could give me an answer.

What the hell is that tower in—"

"Gravity."

Dr. Otto sniffed his baked cake, tapped the cream with his fingers and tasted it in his mouth, then nodded in satisfaction, and casually replied as he placed it on the table:

"What that tower is mining is gravity. You probably haven't heard of it, and that's normal, after all, your research as a student didn't involve high-energy physics.

How am I going to explain that to you?

Think about it in my rusty mind."

As the former Doctor Octopus spoke, he picked up a half-cut katana converted knife marked "Hawkeye" to cut the cake, and enthusiastically distributed it to Barbara and the second bucket as they walked into the house.

The Batgirl glanced at the cake in her hand and then at Mason, who nodded at her.

Barbara smiled sweetly, thanked Dr. Octopus, and sat down in her chair to savor this apocalyptic delicacy.

The second bucket refused the food.

He didn't like this sweet thing, and he felt that such a treat would make him let his guard down.

His eyes fell on the "violin" that Dr. Otto had placed on the battered couch, welded together with a silver-gray object resembling a motorcycle helmet and a barrel that looked incredible.

It's kind of apocalypunk.

"Gravitationalium, a rare natural mineral or magnetite hidden deep in the center of the earth, is a special chemical element aggregate that does not appear on the periodic table.

Its most important feature is that when these elements are broken down by a high-voltage current, their physical properties change and can affect gravity."

Mason stood in the doorway and whispered to the people in the room:

"But gravity is very difficult to mine, and as part of the Earth's gravity system, they have always been hidden deep near the center of the earth... It's no wonder that the Green Goblin had to build such a large mechanical tower to complete the mining.

No wonder the gravity of this world is a little weaker than normal.

Everything makes sense."

"Very accurate, learned young man!"

Mason's explanation caused Dr. Otto to to clap his palms and say with appreciation as if he were praising his own students:

"It's nice to know so much at your age, and reminds me of Peter back then, who was as learned as you are, but now he's a drunkard.

Look at his belly, oh my God, how long has it been since he had a good exercise?

But you're outsiders, aren't you?"

Dr. Otto pushed the little brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and as he gulped down his cake, he looked at the three Masons and said:

「

The knowledge of gravity has been passed down into the world from your peers, and even the cause of this war and the end of the world has to do with it.

This rare element, which can artificially alter gravity, is not found in every world, and in fact it is also a very rare resource in parallel worlds.

Unfortunately, there is an excess of gravitational power stored in the center of our world.

More than three years have passed since the apocalypse, and Osborne Enterprises have built excavation towers around the world, which have channeled too many valuable resources to your organization.

Their excavation has sunk Oceania to the bottom of the sea, caused a terrible collapse in Asia, and neon islands have been torn apart by the massive earthquake that had been few months earlier.

The gravitational armium there has been emptied!

And now, Osborne has set his sights on North America...

Their excavation has clearly exceeded the safe limit, and the change in the world's gravity is only the beginning, and if left unchecked, the world's rotation will be affected in half a year at most.

In fact, if you have observed the Moon, it is not difficult to see that the change in gravity has begun to affect the Earth-Moon system.

And this tremor in New York City is a side effect of Osborne's every time he extracts gravitational creatium from the center of the earth, but it is clear that the Green Goblin has strictly demarcated the zone of gravity influence." Z.br>

Doctor Octopus shrugged, shoved the last bite of cake into his mouth, and said to the three stunned people in front of him:

"He's going to destroy this city of zombies, and by the way, bury all of our survivors hiding underground! Unless Peter and Connors give him what he wants.

Yes.

Don't look at me for so long I've been living in seclusion here, but I've never stopped observing the outside world."

"Dr. Otto! Why do you know so well?"

Peter looked at the unusually peaceful "old friend" in front of him with some suspicion, and under his questioning, the chubby doctor wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"Because Osborna... Well, I mean, I designed the excavation device they used to unearth gravity. They had gone for Tony Stark, but the guy who had left with a bunch of people wouldn't take over.

Wakanda was destroyed in the War of Doom, Banner was taken as a beast, and I am the only one left in the world who can complete this design."

At this, Dr. Otto smiled in a very complicated way.

He turned back to the blues on the radio to a softer serenade, turned his back to the four men, and said:

"The world is doomed, Peter, and our friends from outside, and we are not lucky to live three more years after the end of the world.

Just because they need the resources that are produced in our world.

It's a blessing and a misfortune.

It's like you escaped death but were betrayed and reprived."

At this point, Dr. Otto looked back at his student, Peter Parker, and said earnestly:

"Everyone who survived has lost a lot, so it's time to cherish what you still have, and I don't want you to be my age to understand that, Peter.

I learned from the radio on your shelter's private radio station that you drove Gwen away...

You made the wrong choice."

"That's between me and Gwen, Professor, let's not talk about that, okay?"

Spider-Man apparently didn't want to discuss the issue, and he changed the subject and said:

"The problem now is that Osborne is going to bury us, and I don't want to lose again, I didn't have the city to protect me, and the people in that vault are my last family.

I'm going to stop him!

Doctor, I need your help."

"Of course, of course, of course I am willing to help you, Peter, as compensation for all the trouble I caused you during the time I went mad."

Dr. Otto was very talkative and pulled open his metal drawer, took out a black USB stick from it, and handed it to the spider

Chivalry, says:

"It's some of the 'gadgets' I took with me when I left Osborne Tower, and any one of the holes in the tower's defense system could paralyze their internal security system for a short time.

I also have a map of the interior of Osborne Tower.

But I can't go there with you guys and beat up those guys who are getting too far, and I didn't tear down my mechanical tentacles for nothing.

I can't put them back on again."

"That's enough."

Barbara wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth and said:

"With this thing, I can hack into Osborne's system and shut it down remotely."

"Yo, this microcomputer is amazing."

Dr. Otto immediately noticed the strange computer on Barbara's wrist, rubbed his hands together and said:

"Can you show me?" I'll just see if I make sure I don't break it, little girl, this thing looks at least a generation ahead of my technology, it's a rare thing.

They showed me something like that when they tried to take me away, they said I could get it if I left with them.

I regretted it for a long time when I turned them down."

"Discuss technology with Dr. Otto, Barbara."

Mason nudged his teammates and said:

"He's one of the smartest people in the world."

"Smart?"

And the amiable fat doctor immediately grinned and said:

"I'll have to subtract my IQ by ninety-nine points to be put in the 'smart' category, but I've helped this step anyway, so why don't I help you with the hacking of the Osborne Tower system right here?"

There's an electric man over there who is in trouble.

He's like a "living firewall" that ordinary hacking techniques can't deal with.

Follow me, little girl, and let me see how good you can be as a little hacker from another world."

Dr. Otto walked to the other end of his restraint room, where he slept on the couch with an old computer emblazoned with the Avengers' logo.

Mason glanced at the garbage heap outside the door and said to Doctor Octopus, who had been incredibly peaceful:

"Mr. Otto, if you don't want the mechanical tentacles, can you give them to me cheaply? I happen to have a battle mech that lacks an intelligent weapon system.

I can pay."

"Take it, I'll give it to you for free."

Dr. Otto waved his hand and said:

"It means that I say goodbye to the past completely, just like a harmful relationship must be broken."

Allowed to do so, Mason pulled the two buckets out of the door and removed the four-stage tentacles, which were as heavy as dead snakes, and Mason cleaned them before crouching down to examine them closely.

Soon an information tab pops up:

Psychic interactive multi-functional mechanical tentacles

Quality: Epic Engineering Item: Craftsmanship (Lost quality due to long-term obsolescence)

Weapon Traits: Super Strength, Mental Adaptation, Self-Discipline Weapon, Autonomous Upgrade

Weapon Status: Obsolete, Repairable, Energy Shortage

Weapon Effects:

One. Universal plug-ins:

Dr. Otto Gunther Octavis' mechanical tentacles are perfectly adapted to a variety of combat and crafting scenarios, and are adapted to most tech suits and combat weapon systems.

It can also be considered a "special prosthetic insert" implanted into mechanically reinforced individuals.

However, in order to use the mechanical tentacle perfectly, it needs to be connected to the user's mind, and the mechanical intelligence of the item will interfere with and affect the user's thinking.

Two. Smart Weapons:

The Robotic Tentacle has a powerful intelligent AI, and in most cases it can perform combat, reconnaissance, and crafting aids without the user's commands.

Dr. Otto devised a self-upgrading logic for his mechanical tentacles, which could be used for self-improvement upon contact with everything

When transforming a technology item, the mechanical tentacles will attempt to parse the technology and modify itself.

Note!

This self-modification program will make the AI of the mechanical tentacles more intelligent, and the impact on the user's mind will be more serious.

In some specific cases, AI will try to replace the user's mind in order to better fulfill the mission for which it was designed to help and protect the user in any situation.

At present, the intelligence level of mechanical tentacle AI: assistant-level weak artificial intelligence.

Maker: Otto Gunther Octavis

Item Description: Once this thing is caught in a long, hard thing, it will be used as a screw to screw, and its minimum output is five tons! So, I warn you not to do strange things with it!

"That's enough of a dirty explanation!"

Mason grumbled.

He then threw out the Fenrir Armor, which he intended to incorporate into his Fenrir Armor and use it as part of the weapon system to replace the Lord's non-lethal weapons.

But before Mason could begin to transform, Spider-Man walked out, holding a cigarette and saying to him:

"When are you going to leave for Osborne?"

As the smoke rose, the burning cigarette butts were thrown on the ground and trampled on violently, and the middle-aged man with a fat belly whispered:

"If you can, count me in!"
