New York City
In a secret laboratory, Lizard Devil scratched his scales with great enjoyment. With each new infected person, his strength would grow, and his desires would constantly surge.
"I can't wait for the day of the real large-scale outbreak, friend!" Lizard Devil licked his lips with his tongue, his reptilian vertical pupils filled with desire.
These eyes even made Jackal a bit uncomfortable. He made a gesture to step back, then said to Lizard Devil:
"Don't be so excited, friend. If you want to see a large number of your kind appear, it will take at least nine days for about 40% of New York City's residents to be infected with the virus. The appearance of large-scale Lizard people will take even longer."
After hearing Jackal's dissuasion, Lizard Devil scratched the scales on his neck and said somewhat irritably:
"Then what should I do to massively increase our kind?"
"Uh... I can create a compressed virus and then spread it from a very high place," Jackal said after careful thought, "Osborn Group has a prototype machine that can spread mist on a large scale. Although Osborn Group's development goal is not what we had in mind, I think we can use it."
"If there's a way, then go do it," Lizard Devil said, scrutinizing Jackal.
Upon hearing this, Jackal said very seriously, "Aren't you afraid of being shot in the head by that masked man?"
"..."
Lizard Devil was silent for a moment. He took a few steps back, his voice low, making it impossible for Jackal to discern his current emotions. "You're right, friend, I do need time to accumulate strength before I can completely turn against those masked heroes. How about this, we'll act in nine days?"
"I need to notify our helpers," Jackal said, pulling out his phone.
"No problem," Lizard Devil agreed.
Subsequently, Jackal told Dario about Lizard Devil's idea, and after getting permission, Jackal gave his reply.
"They have no problem, but they have a tactical request: they want you to attract attention on the street, and their people will handle the virus dissemination."
"Not being able to personally create a race is a bit disappointing, but I don't care, as long as it succeeds... I need to increase my strength now," Lizard Devil said indifferently.
At the same time, in the high-end apartment rented by Roxxon Corporation, Voris, the Cobra cyborg, came before Dario.
"As your supervisor, I am now issuing you an order."
"Yes," Voris replied like a machine.
"You are to go to the Osborn Group building in nine days and inject a high concentration of the Lizard virus into their prototype machine," Dario ordered, and Voris responded like a machine.
"Understood."
This second-generation cyborg is truly dull and uninteresting, without any communication ability whatsoever; it's simply too boring.
......
Three days later, the flu in New York City intensified further. Some schools were closed, sending students home to rest to avoid infection. At the same time, foot traffic in supermarkets and other places surged, as citizens began to hoard supplies.
Five days later, a large number of 'Superman' appeared on video websites. They had strong regenerative abilities; even if they cut their palms with a knife, they could recover in a short time.
Seven days later, violent incidents occurred frequently, and the NYPD was stretched thin. However, many people noticed that the instigators of these violent incidents were all the first ones to show off their powers on social networks.
Nine days later, Osborn Group Tower, Biology Laboratory
Dr. Connors, Peter, and Gwen were already overwhelmed with work. They knew very well that the Lizard virus was gradually spreading, and they had to develop an antidote as quickly as possible to save New York City from peril.
"It's finally going to succeed!" Days of working overtime had caused many White hairs to grow at Dr. Connors' temples. His tired eyes gleamed when he saw the 99% progress bar, but his body couldn't help but collapse.
"Dr.!"
Peter stepped forward to support Dr. Connors, and at this moment, he accidentally saw green scales growing on Dr. Connors' neck.
"Dr., you're infected too?!"
"Cough, cough, it's nothing, there's already an antidote, I'll be fine, Peter," Dr. Connors tried to comfort Peter, and at this moment, the radio began to broadcast an emergency news report.
"Emergency news flash: Citizens near the medical center are advised to prepare for evacuation. A red monster resembling a Lizard and a large number of smaller Lizard-like creatures have appeared nearby. Please evacuate with the help of the NYPD."
Upon hearing this message, Peter immediately realized that the red monster mentioned in the broadcast was the red Lizard monster he had fought before.
And the medical center had admitted many severely infected flu patients this time. Could it be that the proximity of the mother body caused a sudden situation?
Peter felt he didn't have much time left. He lifted Dr. Connors onto his shoulder and said to Gwen:
"I'm sorry, Gwen, I need to take Dr. Connors for a check-up first. The job of distributing the antidote throughout the city is up to you. I believe you can do it."
"Wait!" Before Gwen could say more, Peter left the laboratory with Dr. Connors.
After leaving the laboratory, Peter placed Dr. Connors in an unfrequented spot, then wrapped Dr. Connors in Spider-silk like a zongzi. After doing all this, Peter began to change into his Spider-suit and rushed to the battlefield.
With Eller's funding, Peter now had a full set of Spider-Man equipment, much stronger than when he started.
...........
At the same time, on the rooftop of the Osborn Group building, Eller, who visited there twice a day, transformed into his Magnum form. The Magnum Shooter 40X was switched to rifle mode and aimed towards the medical center.
"Magnum Tactical Blast!"
A red beam of light shot out, finally landing on the head of Lizard Devil, who was leading the mutated Lizard people in chaos.
Smoke and dust scattered, and after the dust settled, Eller saw Lizard Devil completely unharmed.
This guy's physical defense has already surpassed Abomination's. You know Abomination relies on his recovery ability to endure, but this thing actually endures with its raw stats?
Eller didn't know that Lizard Devil had the ability to grow stronger with more infected people, and he thought this thing might have taken some strange strengthening drugs again.
"Be careful, Spider-Man. While you're getting stronger, that monster is also getting stronger. Keep him occupied, and I'll support you."
Eller called Peter using his Spider Smartphone, and as he was about to move, a strong killing intent assailed him.
Eller, sensing the killing intent, spun around and threw a full-force punch.
Bang--
With the clash of two forces, Eller felt the enemy's power. Magnum's form was actually not its match in terms of strength?
