Chapter 47: Loneliness Heals

"No, it's not a monster!"

Dr. Connors' eyes twinkled with excitement.

"It's a higher-level lifeform! I should have thought a long time ago, Peter, if anyone could really do what they did, it would be you! ”

"I'm sorry, Dr. Connors."

Sighing, Peter looked directly at the other and said, "I have to wear a mask, and if you're angry about it, I can understand that." ”

"No, of course not."

Connors shook his head, forcing himself to calm down his agitated emotions.

"You saved me, Peter, despite ......"

He looked at the corpses of the gunmen everywhere and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

"Anyway, Peter, I should be thankful, not angry, to you."

"That's good."

Peter nodded, and looked at Natasha on the ground, his expression still as calm as ever.

"Dr. Connors, now that you know who I am, you should understand why I killed her."

"Once infected with 'DX-118C', the host will basically be infected as a zombie, and this contagiousness is far beyond that of ordinary viruses. Of course, there is a chance of becoming an evolutionary, but the probability of this is very small. ”

He shook his head slightly, "So in my eyes, she's just a virus now." ”

"Is that so?"

Connors looked thoughtful.

His gaze was directed towards Natasha, and he had to stop when he wanted to step forward to support the other party.

Dr. Connors pondered for a moment, then said to Peter, "But you also have the virus in you, Peter, you didn't spread it. ”

"My consciousness can control this virus to some extent, preventing it from spreading outward as much as possible, and the evolved 'virus' can be influenced by a waking host. But...... Once the virus is anti-guest and takes control of humanity, then everything will get out of control. ”

Peter said to Connors, "Don't put your hopes in luck or chances. ”

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, Peter."

Dr. Connors said in a serious tone, "You're a good boy, even though you've been through so much, you're still trying to stop the spread of the virus. If you were someone else, your mind would be distorted and influenced, and you would have an ever-evolving lifeform, I would like to ...... He will be accompanied by a superiority mentality. ”

"The destruction of human society, the future of mankind may not be cared about by him, even if a city is destroyed, it has nothing to do with him, but you are different......"

Connors's tone was unprecedentedly solemn, "You are not a living being manipulated by a virus, but a human with an indestructible kindness. ”

"That is, no matter how far you have evolved, you will be human."

Listening to Connors's assessment of himself, Peter was slightly stunned.

Although I'm not a villain in a comic book who destroys the world at every turn, I'm not associated with good people anyway, right?

The reason why I tried to suppress the virus was simply that I had already experienced such a hell in my previous life, so I didn't want it to happen again.

And as the "Black Watch" in his previous life, he once vowed to guard a certain bottom line.

This has nothing to do with having a good heart.

Seeing that Peter was still unmoved, Connors sighed and continued:

"Besides, even viruses are not completely unrecoverable. In the Long Island lab, there is the 'DX-1118C' virus you gave me, and since you say she's a virus, I can recover her. ”

"I needed a living human sample with 'DX-1118C' on it, wasn't she the one now? We can use her for experimental research on human viruses. ”

Speaking of which, Connors was a little tired.

He was hunted down because he resisted Osben's illegal human experiments.

Now I have even skipped animal experiments and jumped directly to human experiments.

Are you even more frantic than Osben?

But soon he convinced himself.

No.

This is not a human experiment, just a way to treat Peter.

Yes, in his heart, he also saw Peter as a sick person.

"Peter, I can help you."

Dr. Connors spoke to him in a sincere tone.

"Me?"

Peter didn't know why the other man said that.

"Yes, you are a good boy, but you should not be bound by this virus, it makes you feel like a sick person, and you don't even dare to get close to humans. I think...... Your life must be lonely because you can only live in your own world. ”

"You can't even kiss the girl you like, Peter."

Connors suddenly cares about his private life, and spreads rumors that he has never even kissed a girl, and Peter's brow furrows even tighter.

"But I can help you, maybe we can use Natasha's human virus sample and work out a way to suppress its infectiousness, so that you can live like a normal human."

Afraid that Peter would refuse again, Connors continued: "Until I develop a way to suppress the contagiousness of the virus, I swear to you that I will never let her leave the Long Island Lab, and I will not let the virus leak in any way. ”

Looking at Dr. Connors's swearing, Peter shook his head slightly.

"Dr. Connors, you must not know who she is."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Peter lowered his head, looked at Natasha, who was still awake, and said, "She's from S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Connors froze.

"Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."

Peter reached out and grabbed the other man by the collar, pulling out a small black locator from inside.

Crushing the locator, he turned to Connors and said, "And it's a Level 7 agent, Doctor, you should know what a Level 7 agent means to an organization. If she goes missing, and she is still alive, it should be a very troublesome matter. ”

"Ahem......!"

With all her strength, Natasha, who was lying on the ground, struggled to spit out a word from her mouth - "red...... house".

Peter was close enough to hear the word.

He quickly understood why the other party would say the word.

Born in the Soviet Union, Black Widow was once trained as a killer by the "Red House" institution.

He later defected to the Soviet Union and joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now the other party said the words containing her own origin, which was to show herself that she did not simply belong to S.H.I.E.L.D.

As a spy, she can re-choose sides when life and death are at stake.

It's like abandoning the Red House and choosing S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place.

Is this a surrender to yourself?

Peter looked at the Black Widow with some surprise, panting slightly.

The sirens of police cars sounded in the distance.

The gunshots caused a lot of movement, attracting the police to rush this way.

"Peter, I swear to you, I can help you!"

Connors also heard the siren, and said to him in a hurried tone, "It's not a fluke, but to stop the spread of the virus, I need her as a human sample." ”

"What if I have to insist? Doctor. ”

"You're not going to do that, Peter, we study viruses to control it, and now is the best chance."

Connors said with all seriousness.

"I promise you, Dr. Connors."

Peter was silent for a moment, and then said with a calm expression: "But she may never leave the laboratory, and she will no longer be a normal human being." ”

"You'll understand that compare, Doctor, to the mercy of my previous actions."
