American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 99: Failed

With a crisp sound like glass breaking, Dr. Connors let out a painful roar, and his huge tail flicked wildly, flying moss and scale in the sewer everywhere, and even the dirty sewer floor made several white marks, revealing the original color of the ground.

Sharon took a few steps back, and although she managed to dodge the sweep of Dr. Connors' tail, she was splashed with sticky saliva from his roar, and the vibranium shield used as a defense seemed to have been soaked in the yellow-white sticky liquid.

But Sharon didn't care about the nausea, and she changed positions several times while retreating away from Dr. Connors to avoid being attacked by the unknown guy.

Although she didn't know exactly what the circle was, judging from Dr. Connors' reaction, the damage it could do was probably not weaker than the charged spear she threw with all her strength, and if she hadn't retreated in time, the circle would have enveloped her with it.

Sharon's gaze followed the illusory crow that suddenly flew out of Dr. Connors towards the darkness, and although her night vision was not enough for her to see the figure in the darkness, her perception was highly enhanced, allowing her to feel the small sound.

And Dr. Connors instinctively gave up continuing to pursue Sharon, he roughly pulled out the spear that pierced his ankle and threw it aside, and then stared warily at the approaching figure.

Unlike Sharon, the mutation brought by the lizardman serum has fundamentally changed his perception, for him smells and sounds are given color differences, he can perceive far more than Sharon, but the information he gets makes Dr. Connors wonder.

Similar? Weird... Dangerous!

Dr. Connors, who had been completely occupied by bestiality, relied entirely on instinct to act, and although he was attacked, he felt threatened and doubted so that he did not shift his target and take the initiative as before.

He just squeezed the "purr" sound out of his throat at the figure in the darkness, warning unknown enemies that if they dared to continue to approach him, they would attack.

Sharon, on the other hand, is more direct.

"Who are you?! This is the law enforcement scene! Please identify yourself immediately! "

Sharon's expression became more solemn as she cast her eyes on the spear thrown into the corner by Dr. Connors, while considering how to retreat with Gwen and Felicia and the others.

And in the face of Sharon's inquiry, Peter in the darkness replied softly:

"Not your friend, but not your enemy... Not at least for the time being..."

His voice was calm, and although it was low and hoarse, he could hear the words clearly.

Sharon did not let her guard down at Peter's response, she did not continue to ask again, but chose to take two steps closer to her spear, ensuring that she could retrieve the spear as soon as she needed it.

Dr. Connors didn't know if he understood Peter's speech and stopped making a sound.

Silence returned to the entire sewer for a while.

But this silence lasted less than two seconds before it was broken by a rapid crackling sound that echoed through the empty sewers with a dull but powerful texture, like dead leaves rustling in the autumn forest by a breeze.

And in the darkness suddenly gushed a black wave, Sharon and Dr. Connors took a step back almost at the same time, and then Sharon realized that the black wave was made up of one huge black crow after another.

They instantly occupied every commanding point in the sewer that could settle, and the few crows that did not find a place to settle hovered in the high altitude of the sewers, and the originally wet walls and the dark and dirty top floor of the tunnel seemed to have gained life at this time, and wave after wave of rhythm came to life, and the hundreds of eyes of the crows occupying the high places were all unblinking, emitting a dark red shimmer.

This strange scene even Gwen, who already knew the identity of the comer, couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and the sense of peace of mind that had just been born in her heart had been completely dispelled at this moment.

Not to mention Dr. Connors and Sharon, Dr. Connors had lowered his body in the dark, and the biological instinct allowed him to adopt a posture more suitable for active attack.

As for Sharon, she looks like a great enemy, she relaxes her eyes and looks around, trying not to focus on fixed points, so that the peripheral vision can better capture the dynamics.

One man and one lizard are guarding each other, while also guarding the crows around them and Peter who has not yet appeared.

For a while, no one dared to act rashly.

And Peter finally left the shadows at this time, but the dim light did not illuminate his face.

Half of his face was obscured by a metallic jet-black helmet, only his eyes were clearly visible, and the pale yellow vertical pupils were somewhat similar to Connors's cruel and cold-blooded eyes, but compared to Dr. Connors, he could still see the light of reason in his eyes.

Peter!

Although she had known that Peter had arrived here, Gwen was so excited when she saw Peter appear that she almost couldn't help but call out his name, she covered her mouth lightly, and the corners of her mouth, which she hid behind her palm, slightly upturned.

Excitement, surprise, joy, fear, some inexplicable grievances and a little indescribable feelings filled Gwen's heart, and complex feelings fused together, as if the tide was rising and falling past her neck, covering her mouth, nose, and ears.

Gwen didn't dare to concentrate on that feeling... She only felt that if she felt its tide, it would engulf itself.

Felicia is still in a coma, and the few ordinary people who have been reduced are not out of danger, and Professor Connors in the field still needs to be solved and treated, and she must not fall into it.

Gwen caressed his chest, finally forcing the wonderful feeling to swallow before it reached the peak and swallowed herself, and then let it slowly retreat.

Now she has more important things to do.

At this time, both Dr. Connors and Sharon were all focused on the crow and Peter in mid-air, and now was the best time to move Felicia and the rest of the personnel out of the sewers.

At the thought of this, Gwen couldn't care about the wound in her abdomen and struggled to stand up.

But the wound that had been initially healed cracked with her movements, and for a moment Gwen only felt as if a flame was burning her flesh and blood from the inside out, and the severe pain made her move.

But she didn't want to give up this great opportunity, she trembled and took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, her hot breath bringing out a white mist, which slowly dissipated in the gaze of the crows after a short ascent.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after just a few deep breaths, she felt that the pain had dissipated by half, but she didn't care much, and she carefully stepped forward a few steps to hold Felicia, who was lying by the wall, in her arms.

Peter looked at Felicia in Gwen's arms, then at Gwen's uniform that was once again dyed red, and then retracted his gaze expressionlessly.

Dr. Connors, on the other hand, took advantage of the moment Peter's gaze left him to launch a sneak attack.

The distance of less than fifteen meters was only two steps for the lizardman's size, and his huge body had already rushed into Peter in turn, his shining claws raised high, and he was about to launch a fatal blow in the next second.

However, Peter who has covered the entire sewer with crows does not have any visual dead ends, almost at the moment Dr. Connors launched a sneak attack, Peter was ready, and before the claws attacked, he bent down to avoid the first wave of Dr. Connors's attack, and Peter squatted down while pressing the ground with one hand, a light blue magic seal appeared on the ground, and Dr. Connors, who was about to turn around and sweep his tail, suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Gwen quickly reminded Peter.

"He's not a monster, he's Professor Connors, it's only because of that serum that he became like this, Captain America once used an inhibitor to turn him back into a normal person, he can change back!" So... Don't be like... Don't..."

Halfway through the words, she hesitated, she hoped that Peter could save Dr. Connors, she didn't want Peter to make the same mistake as herself, but she was afraid that Peter's leaving a hand on the powerful lizardman would cause him to be hurt, her mouth closed again, but she couldn't finish the sentence.

Peter took two steps back and opened the distance, but only said calmly:

"Follow the passage on the left all the way to the end, and I arranged for the driver to wait on it."

Gwen couldn't say more, but before preparing to leave, she hesitated for a moment before firing the spider silk, stuck to the spear that had been thrown into the corner, pulled it into her hand, and threw it at Sharon.

Then he pointed to Peter emphatically and said:

"He's not a criminal, you can trust him, as for my business... Sooner or later, I will prove to you that what I say is true. "

Sharon reached out and caught the spear and immediately charged it, and then she stared at Dr. Connors and said firmly:

"You don't need to prove to me whether you are innocent or not, I am not a judge or a jury, I have no power to judge you, only the right to arrest you."

Having said that, she didn't stop Gwen from leaving, and then said as if complaining while holding her helmet with wings:

"But I have enough trouble today, I really wish there would be less chaos, and I don't want to do anything today except take a shower."

Gwen opened her mouth, but finally resisted the urge to say something, she tied Felicia and a few ordinary people together in spider silk, and quickly left the tunnel.

And Sharon also rushed up and stabbed Dr. Connors fiercely with a spear, the attack power of the spear after charging is amazing, but the defense power of the lizardman is even more terrifying.

Although the spear pierced Dr. Connors' arm, the spear then stuck in his arm, and Dr. Connors took the opportunity to sweep it with his tail again.

Even under the influence of Aden Fayin, his speed was significantly reduced, but Sharon, who had just taken off his spear, only had time to defend with his shield.

And with a loud "bang", Sharon was directly knocked back for several meters before stabilizing, and because there was too much "lubricant" on the shield, the lizardman's all-out blow directly caused her shield to escape.

Peter took the opportunity to stretch out his right hand, and a claw phantom flew out from his palm, and after hitting Dr. Connors, the claw grabbed him deadly.

Sharon took advantage of Dr. Connors' imprisonment to touch the spear stuck in his arm again, and after dodging the surprise attack of the other claw, she climbed directly onto Dr. Connors's shoulder to charge the spear again, and with the surge of light, the spear that was originally stuck in Connors' arm directly blew it out of a hole.

Peter has already adjusted the shock wave converted from the terrifying signature weapon to the highest output, Peter drives the claws again, and Connors's huge body suddenly flies in the direction of Peter, but probably his mass exceeds the limit that can never be revived, Dr. Connors's body is only moved a few steps and stops in place, and the phantom of his claws is gradually disappearing.

Sharon took the opportunity to jump off Connors's body, raised her spear above her head, and then violently plunged it into Dr. Connors's battered ankle again, while shouting:

"Can you still use that circle? Or what more powerful means of export? I'll limit his movements, and I need you to give him the final blow!" "

Without Sharon's reminder, Peter rushed straight forward, jumped into the air, and his glowing fist was printed directly on Dr. Connors' forehead.

The shockwave and light burst out in front of Dr. Connors' eyes at the same time, and Peter deliberately released the maximum brightness he could release, and for a while the entire sewer seemed to be as dazzling as a sun.

Even Sharon couldn't help but exclaim, she turned her back to avoid the light source, and at the same time opened the distance with an arrow.

And Peter landed in the predetermined position after punching, while Dr. Connors was already lying on the ground, even with the strong physique and resilience of the lizardman, he fell into a coma after resisting this punch.

Looking at Dr. Connors, who gradually returned to his human form, Peter's face did not have a trace of joy, and he sighed softly as he looked at Sharon, who had finally got rid of the blindness caused by the strong light.

The appearance of the Captain America meant that the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely disappointed.

"He's at your disposal."

The frustrated Peter did not have a word of superfluous, turned around and left towards the outside of the tunnel, and the crow in mid-air once again turned into a black tide and rushed towards the outside of the tunnel.

Sharon looked up at Peter's departing back, her brows furrowed, and after a moment of thought she put her hand lightly on her helmet.

"Report the progress of the mission, the task has been completed, the support is canceled, I need to send someone to deal with the scene immediately, and don't stop them from leaving, we need to observe them."

Then a confirmed reply came from the intercom, and Sharon finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she looked around and muttered blankly:

"Huh? Am I that big a shield? "
