"Tony, look at the mess you've made."
Nick Fury forcibly suppressed the urge to lash out, and ordered, "Since we can't find Maya Hansen for the time being, I'll leave it to my agents to handle..."
"I think Aldrich Killian didn't kill the president on the spot because he has other plans for him, so we still have some time to make amends."
"Tony, you and Jonathan have the fastest flying speed. You two go back to [New York] first to search for the president's whereabouts. The rest of you will come with me on the [Sky Carrier]!"
"That's all we can do for now."
Tony Stark nodded noncommittally, but then Captain America suddenly pointed to the group of people transforming into lizard people in the projection and said:
"Wait a minute, Fury... Sir, what about the lizard people in the streets of [New York]?"
"Ordinary police officers obviously can't effectively control them. If we let them go, I'm afraid it will cause massive casualties..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Nick Fury's furious roar came from the communicator.
"Are you an idiot? It's already come to this, who the hell cares about those damn lizard people? No matter how many civilians die, it can't compare to the president's safety!"
Captain America wasn't annoyed by the insult, but instead showed a deep look of disappointment on his face.
Although he had expected Nick Fury to make such a choice, he still had some expectations that the other party might change... After all, ordinary people's lives are still lives!!
But now it seems that he was just overthinking it.
But what really made him feel disheartened was that Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and even the Human Torch and the Thing, who had just joined the [Avengers], seemed to agree with Nick Fury's statement.
To be precise, it should be... tacitly agree!!
It seems that in their eyes, the president's life is more important than ordinary people's lives... Perhaps that's the truth.
But this is precisely what Captain America finds most difficult to accept.
Because the [America] in his ideal should be a place where all lives are treated equally.
Rescuing the president is certainly important, but when possible, [.] should at least not turn a blind eye to civilian casualties.
"Captain, Fury is right," Tony Stark noticed the lonely expression on Captain America's face and quickly smoothed things over, saying:
"These lizard people are just pawns released by Aldrich Killian to attract our attention. Even if we rush over now and defeat them, it won't help..."
"Because as long as Aldrich Killian isn't eliminated, he can still repeat the same... or even many of the same terrorist attacks."
"Moreover, the [National Guard] will soon intervene. With their firepower, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with these green-skinned monsters."
Captain America nodded somewhat perfunctorily and said with some melancholy, "Actually, you don't need to persuade me, I understand the reasoning... Moreover, I'm just a soldier, and obeying orders on the battlefield is my duty."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little oppressive.
"Um... I have a good idea that can help us get to [New York] in the shortest amount of time!"
At this time, the Human Torch next to him said like a fool, "Huh? Why don't we spend some money to ask the [Hyperspace Group] for help? I remember they seem to be able to use cool magic to directly open a portal, wouldn't that save us several hours of travel?"
For a moment, whether it was Tony Stark, Captain America, Black Widow, or Hawkeye, they all looked at the Human Torch with strange eyes.
As everyone knows, neither the name Karl Mala nor anything related to him can ever be mentioned in front of Nick Fury... otherwise, you can wait to be given the cold shoulder!
Feeling that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange, the Human Torch muttered with a confused look, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
"Kid, good luck!"
Tony Stark gave the Human Torch a pitying look, and then directly drove the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] into the sky, flying towards [New York] at extreme speed.
Seeing that her stupid younger brother was still in the dark, Susan Stone couldn't help but interject to remind him, "Jonathan, why do you think [.] doesn't use this method? Is it because they can't think of it, or because they don't have the money?"
"Ah?"
Just as the Human Torch felt that his brain was about to be "burned" out, he saw Captain America on the opposite side raise a finger and point it towards the sky, his intention being clear enough.
The slow-witted Human Torch finally realized what was going on, and his whole body suddenly shuddered.
So the black guy... no, the director has a conflict with the [Hyperspace Group]?
Damn, I just joined [.] and stepped on a landmine, how the hell am I going to survive in the future?
Let's get out of here.
Whoosh—
The Human Torch instantly turned into a ball of flames, closely following Tony Stark and disappearing into the horizon.
Inside the [bridge] of the [Sky Carrier].
Nick Fury's big black face had already turned liver-colored, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't explode.
Why wouldn't he want to use the sorcerer's portal to directly rush to [New York] to save the president? This would at least save several hours of travel.
But the key is that he doesn't know any sorcerers from [Kamar-Taj].
Whenever he thought about how Karl Mala could appear in such a cool way every time, he felt jealous to the point of wanting to go crazy.
But he was helpless about it.
"Karl Mala, although this matter has nothing to do with you, you just wait, one day I will make you pay a painful price!!"
Karl: ??? Black man question mark

……
[New York].
[Manhattan].
Several blocks near [Osborn Tower] were already in chaos.
Lizard people covered in a layer of dark green scales could be seen everywhere, frantically attacking pedestrians and passing vehicles on the congested streets.
The police officers who rushed to the scene one after another activated their talent skill "Empty the magazine", but they soon surprisingly discovered that ordinary pistol bullets couldn't penetrate the scales on these lizard monsters.
On the other hand, their sharp claws could easily tear apart the police cars that the police officers were using as cover.
So in just a few minutes, more than half of the police officers became souls under the claws of these lizard people.
But these police officers didn't know that just a few minutes ago, these lizard monsters were just normal office workers walking on the street.
The reason why they have become like this is naturally because Dr. Curt Connors used the [Gana Device] of [Osborn Group] to create the "Lizard Virus Cloud" above [Manhattan].
Let's rewind the time slightly to more than ten minutes ago...
Curt Connors, who had transformed into the Lizard, crawled out of the sewer, and then climbed all the way up the glass curtain wall of [Osborn Tower], successfully entering the [Trans-species Genetics Project Biological Laboratory] on the 7th floor, and obtained the [Gana Device] that could help him spread the lizard virus on a large scale.
Then he climbed up the outer wall again, heading towards the top of the building.
At this time, Harry Osborn, who was doing fill-in-the-blanks with a hot supermodel in the private bedroom on the top floor of the building, was unexpectedly interrupted by a burst of urgent alarms.
Then the head of security reported the situation of the 7th floor laboratory being invaded by the Lizard and the loss of the [Gana Device] truthfully.
"Could it be Dr. Curt Connors who did it?"
Harry Osborn immediately thought of the scene more than half a month ago when Dr. Curt Connors suddenly lost control and transformed into the Lizard, killing wildly in the laboratory.
In that sudden disaster, at least twenty outstanding researchers died tragically.
The newest novel is first published on Six/Nine/Books/Bar/Bar!
Afterwards, the honest Peter Parker took the initiative to confess his identity as the Lizard Warrior to Harry Osborn, and how Dr. Curt Connors had tricked him into getting the formula for the [Lizard Trans-species Gene Serum].
Faced with his friend's frankness, Harry Osborn didn't vent his anger on him, but chose to forgive him.
But that doesn't mean he will also forgive Curt Connors.
"Hey, Peter, it's me... Don't ask those useless things first, there is an emergency situation right now, you must come over immediately to help me stop Dr. Connors' evil deeds."
"What?" An exclamation suddenly came from the other end of the phone, "Dr. Connors has appeared? Where is he now?"
"That's right, he's now at [Osborn Tower]."
Harry Osborn said in a brisk tone while putting on his pants, "What's worse is that he just stole the [Gana Device] from the laboratory. If I guessed correctly, he probably wants to use an improved version of the lizard virus to turn everyone in [New York] into his ghost-like appearance!!"
"My God, is he crazy?"
A burst of messy noises immediately came from the phone, as if Peter Parker was frantically looking for something. After a while, he continued:
"Harry, I'll leave now, at the latest 15 minutes... no, I can get there within 10 minutes, you find a safe place to hide and wait for me."
"No."
But who would have thought that Harry Osborn would say in a very firm tone, "If it's really like what I guessed, then the only way to stop him is to create an antidote in advance..."
"So Peter, you immediately tell me the formula for the [Lizard Trans-species Gene Serum], and I'll use the super project machine to reverse engineer it,"
"This way I can use the equipment in the laboratory to create a large number of antidotes that can restore the infected in the shortest amount of time."
"That's a really great idea."
Peter Parker couldn't help but exclaim, and then said the formula, and finally didn't forget to comfort him, "Harry, don't worry, I will definitely stop Dr. Connors this time."
After hanging up the phone, Peter Parker rushed out of the house, directly transformed into a tall lizard form, and ran wildly towards the direction of [Osborn Tower].
"Wait, should I tell Gwen about this?"
After rushing out a few meters, Peter Parker's figure stopped again, but after thinking about it slightly, he gave up the idea.
Because this matter was caused by him. If he hadn't told Curt Connors the formula for the [Lizard Trans-species Gene Serum] at that time, there wouldn't have been the subsequent massacre and the current crisis.
So he was a little embarrassed to involve his "goddess" in this matter.
Peter Parker wanted to use his own power to end all this.
What's more, recently, Gwen seems to be conducting some secret operation, and I heard that she is secretly investigating a huge organization.
In this case, he was even more embarrassed to disturb her.
Thinking of this, Peter Parker readjusted his breathing, and then ran wildly like flying.
……
The Lizard climbed all the way up and finally successfully arrived at the top of [Osborn Tower].
After placing the [Gana Device], which was about one meter long and looked like a simple mortar, he couldn't wait to take out four green "Lizard Virus Agents" from his backpack and put them into the magazine of the [Gana Device].
A prompt sounded, "The launch system is starting, it is expected to launch in two minutes..."
"My wish is finally about to be fulfilled!!"
Just as the Lizard was staring at the countdown on the [Gana Device] without blinking, looking forward to the arrival of the last moment, Peter Parker's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Dr. Connors, stop, the police have surrounded this building."
"Tsk tsk, let me see who's here?"
The Lizard turned around abruptly and looked at the young man on the opposite side who had regained his human form with a playful look, "Peter, are you here to stop me?"
"That's right."
Peter Parker glanced at the [Gana Device] behind the other party, but from his angle, he couldn't see the countdown on it, so he said with some self-blame:
"This is all because of me. If I hadn't written the formula for the [Lizard Trans-species Gene Serum] to you at that time, those tragedies wouldn't have happened... So, today, no matter what, I will stop you."
"Oh, that's a pity, Peter, you've chosen the wrong side."
The Lizard put on a painful expression on his face, and retorted in a rhythmic manner, "You don't understand at all, the reason why I do this is not for myself, but for all mankind."
"In this decadent society filled with depraved atmosphere, people have long lost themselves and become walking corpses eager for quick success and instant benefits... And now I have finally found a way to save them and help them gain a new life!!"
