Doctor Lizard's face twisted into a near-mad grin. He gestured, half-turned, to the [Gahner Device] counting down behind him, and roared excitedly:
“Once the plague cloud carrying the 'Lizard Virus' blankets all of [Manhattan], a whole new species will emerge on this world… From then on, no one will be discriminated against for their physical imperfections, all flaws will be fixed!!”
“No, it won’t… That’s just wishful thinking in your head!!”
Peter Parker didn't realize that the other party was deliberately using this method to buy time, and was still earnestly trying to persuade him.
“Dr. Connors, listen to me, I know you're actually a good person, but you've gone to extremes because of a momentary impulse… If you choose to stop now, everything can still be salvaged, please don't make another mistake, okay?”
“A good person?”
Doctor Lizard paused slightly. From some point on, his heart seemed to have developed an extreme aversion to this word, and he questioned fiercely:
“You're right, of course I'm a good person… So I can't understand why you're trying to stop my plan?!”
“……”
Peter Parker was momentarily speechless. He never expected that the other party would seize the loophole in his words and set up a logical trap for him.
However, before he could prepare new rhetoric, Doctor Lizard swung his huge tail at him.
But the next second, Peter Parker transformed directly into a lizard warrior more than 3 meters tall, covered in fiery red scales, and easily grabbed the incoming giant tail.
However, before Peter Parker could say anything, he heard a prompt from the [Gahner Device] behind him, “Last 5 seconds, 4, 3… 1, launch!”
With a series of muffled sounds, four shells filled with the green Lizard Virus were successfully launched into the sky before Peter Parker could react.
A few seconds later, just like [Rain Bombs] detonating in the clouds, a green cloud instantly enveloped the entire sky above [Manhattan].
Before long, a drizzle of green raindrops began to fall from the sky.
On the streets, those pedestrians who had no idea that danger had arrived, after being splashed with the green raindrops on their exposed skin, were transformed into bloodthirsty monsters completely devoid of reason in a matter of minutes.
The streets of [Manhattan] were instantly thrown into chaos.
“Damn it, you actually…”
Realizing he had been tricked, Peter Parker looked at Doctor Lizard with anger and rage. The latter spread his arms and laughed triumphantly:
“Hahaha, poor Peter, you're as useless as ever, but since you once gave me the formula, I can give you a chance to join me… That way, we can both become the founders of the new century!!”
“No, your plan will never succeed. Harry is already developing the antidote, we will definitely stop your plan.”
Peter Parker had never been so angry. He had always regarded Dr. Curt Connors as his mentor.
But who would have thought that the other party would be so despicable.
Whoosh—
In anger, Peter Parker swung his claws and directly chopped off Doctor Lizard's tail with one blow.
The foul-smelling, dark green blood splattered everywhere, but soon the other party grew a new tail.
“No one can stop my plan!!”
Doctor Lizard's blood-red pupils were filled with jealousy. He could clearly sense that the lizard Peter opposite him possessed several times more power than him.
It was because of this that an uncontrollable jealousy surged in his heart.
You must know that he had invested a full decade in order to successfully develop the [Lizard Trans-Species Gene Serum].
As a result, Peter Parker succeeded in less than a week!
Who could stand this?
Doctor Lizard originally thought that his improved [Lizard Trans-Species Gene Serum] could surpass the state after the other party's transformation.
But now it seems that he is still no match for him.
Blinded by jealousy, Doctor Lizard immediately took out a serum containing [Extremis Virus] and stabbed it directly into his artery without thinking.
As the orange liquid was injected into his body, Doctor Lizard let out a painful roar, and bursts of fire flowed under the skin of his body.
Fire Lizard Doctor officially online!!
This was a double insurance that Aldrich Killian had specially left for Curt Connors to prevent the plan from failing.
“Wow, what the heck is that?”
At this time, Harry Osborn, wearing a special protective suit, rushed out from the stairwell. He was startled by the change in Doctor Lizard, but then he reacted and threw the blue antidote in his hand to Peter Parker on the opposite side from afar.
“Peter, this is the antidote. As long as you use the [Gahner Device] to launch it, you can eliminate the virus infection.”
Who knew that Fire Lizard Doctor would react faster, opening his bloody mouth and spewing out a burst of scorching flames, directly burning the antidote in mid-air to ashes.
“Uh, this seems a little awkward…”
Harry Osborn spread his hands towards Peter Parker on the opposite side with an innocent look, “This is really not my fault, I didn't expect him to breathe fire?!”
“Harry, quickly make another antidote, leave this to me.”
Peter Parker didn't have time to blame his friend at this time. First, he used his tail to roll up the [Gahner Device] and threw it to his friend in the air, and then directly launched an attack on Doctor Lizard to prevent the other party from spraying fire again and destroying the [Gahner Device].
“Understood, leave it to me.”
Harry Osborn steadily caught the [Gahner Device], and then turned and ran towards the building.
Although the antidote just now was destroyed, as long as the formula is still in his hands, he can recreate one in the laboratory in just over ten minutes.
“You little bastard, don't even think about ruining my plan.”
Fire Lizard Doctor was immediately enraged, blocked Lizard Peter's attack with one hand, and then sprayed a stream of fire towards the direction Harry Osborn was running away.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Lizard Peter covered his mouth with his big hand.
The scorching flames quickly burned Lizard Peter's big hand to charcoal, but successfully won Harry Osborn a crucial opportunity to escape.
Moreover, after Lizard Peter cut off the necrotic part, a new palm quickly grew back.
“Dr. Connors, I will never let you hurt my friends.”
…………
……
[Queens].
In a manor-style hotel.
President Matthew Ellis hurriedly left the venue under the escort of a team of armed security personnel, got into his exclusive [Air Force One], and drove away under the alert of four nanny vans.
The so-called [Air Force One] is a general term specifically referring to the president's vehicle.
The vehicle that President Matthew Ellis is riding in now is a specially customized, extended version of the [Cadillac DTS] with bulletproof and mine-proof functions.
“Damn it, can't you guys wait a moment? You should at least let me finish my speech… Do you know that this is directly related to my re-election for the next term.”
President Matthew Ellis glared at the Chief of Staff opposite him with a dark face and roared angrily: “What about [.]? What is that black… that bastard who only asks for money doing? Can't even deal with a bunch of damn lizardmen?”
“I think we should just disband [.]!”
The reason why the President was so angry was because he originally planned to use this charity dinner to prepare for his next term in advance, and to solicit sponsorships and votes from those rich people and military-industrial complexes who attended the dinner.
As we all know, running for President of America is the most expensive political activity.
But who would have thought that President Matthew Ellis had just taken the stage and was preparing to start his wonderful speech when the security personnel of the [Secret Service] rushed to the stage and took him away directly… so that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to the people off stage.
Who wouldn't be angry if this happened to them?
The Chief of Staff explained with a difficult expression: “Mr. President, the members of [.] and [The Avengers] are currently carrying out special operations in [Miami], and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while.”
“[Miami]?” President Matthew Ellis asked with a suspicious look: “What are they doing in that damn place?”
“I heard that they are going to capture the mastermind behind the [Ten Rings Gang]…”
“Very good.”
President Matthew Ellis's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and even the anger just now dissipated for the most part.
There was no way, who made the [Ten Rings Gang]… ah no, to be precise, it should be [The Mandarin] played by Trevor Slattery, leave an indelible trauma in the President's heart.
It was precisely because the authorities had been unable to catch [The Mandarin] and the [Ten Rings Gang] that his approval rating continued to decline.
So he couldn't sleep or eat until [The Mandarin] was caught.
“If we can catch that damn Middle Easterner this time, I will definitely issue a special order… to broadcast his death penalty process live to the whole world!!” President Matthew Ellis said with resentment.
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden violent explosion in front of the motorcade, and then the leading nanny van turned into a ball of violently burning fire and flew out.
Under the reflection of the car lights, a lizardman emitting fiery red light all over his body, spitting out tongues of fire from time to time, was grinning and looking towards [Air Force One].
Obviously, the target of this monster was President Matthew Ellis.
“Damn it, what the hell is this?”
The two people in the car were startled, and then the Chief of Staff ordered the agents in the front row: “Let the other vehicles stop that monster, we will turn around immediately… No matter what, we must ensure the safety of President Ellis!!”
“Yes.”
The agent sitting in the passenger seat quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to convey the order, and soon the three nanny vans behind directly blocked in front of [Air Force One], building two simple temporary defense lines.
Da da da—
Several fully armed agents pushed open the car doors and directly launched a concentrated fire attack on the fire lizard warrior on the opposite side.
However, the bullets hit the fire lizard warrior's body and were quickly melted by the scorching flames, failing to cause any substantial damage to it.
Whoosh—
Boom—
An RPG, dragging a long tail of flames, hit the fire lizard warrior on the opposite side, directly blowing a huge gap in its upper body.
But just when everyone thought that the fire lizard warrior was dead, a smug grin appeared on its face.
Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, the severed body began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was restored to its original state in just a few seconds.
“This feeling is so damn good!!”
Erik Savin, who had transformed into a fire lizard warrior, really liked the feeling of being able to use the power of the [Extremis Virus] at will without worrying about losing control and self-destructing.
The whole person was like a heavy tank, rushing forward against the agents' dense rain of bullets.
Whoosh—
The huge tail swept out horizontally, directly cutting an agent who was using the car door as a shooting cover in half.
The scorching high temperature directly burned through the bulletproof car door without any hindrance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The sharp claws waved continuously like phantoms, and the agents were beheaded before they could even let out a scream.
In just a few minutes, this elite agent team responsible for the President's security work was completely wiped out.
However, Erik Savin did not choose to continue chasing [Air Force One], which had turned around and fled, but instead returned to human form and stood there with a watching attitude.
Bang—
[Air Force One], which had just completed the U-turn on the opposite side, was preparing to escape this area at full speed, but who would have thought that two more fire lizard warriors suddenly jumped out of the darkness. They actually lifted the car weighing several tons one after the other.
“Damn it, get me out of here quickly!!”
President Matthew Ellis in the car was already frightened and pale. He never thought that anyone would dare to publicly hijack the President within the borders of [America]?
Let me just say… can you believe this?
“Mr. President, don't worry, [Air Force One] can withstand a frontal hit from an anti-tank missile. They won't be able to get in that easily in a short time…”
The Chief of Staff tried to reassure him while pretending to be calm: “I have just sent a distress signal to the [Department of Defense]. The military's rescue personnel will arrive in a few minutes… Bang!!”
However, before he could finish his words, a crimson arm had already penetrated the thickened bulletproof car door and stretched in, and then opened the car door with a backhand.
Erik Savin, chewing gum, poked his head into the car and smiled wickedly like a gangster: “Mr. President, my boss wants to see you… please!!”
Looking at the bald man emitting fire all over his body in front of him, President Matthew Ellis suddenly felt that his chances of being re-elected seemed to be gone?!
