Chapter 44 Two Lizards
"It doesn't seem to have been seriously injured, just a bone fracture." Frank the Punisher rushed to the edge of the Hudson River after receiving a call from Li Jie, and Li Jie led him to his own The secret base, show Peter the Spider-Man if he's seriously injured.
"I fixed the position of his bones with a support frame to prevent displacement. If the resilience is good, it can recover in a few days." Frank wrapped the little spider like a zongzi.
"Oh~ thank you man, my name is Spider-Man, that's what you call it." Peter wrapped his bag like a zongzi, and stretched out his hand stiffly to shake Frank's hand.
"Frank Custer." Frank didn't give himself a nickname, and never used any way to cover up his face. The name of the Punisher was named by his enemies.
"I read the news before, and you're making a lot of noise in the Bronx. What's that big lizard?" Frank asked, sitting down in a simple chair.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. It is said that it came out of the disabled veteran's hospital. I don't know if it has anything to do with the Osborne Group." Li Jie certainly knew that this thing was the Connors and Peter test. Caused by failure, but now he can only pretend not to know.
"This thing is very troublesome, we have to stop him! After turning into a lizard, his bloodthirsty and the dark anger in his heart will be infinitely amplified, which will cause a lot of damage, and many innocent people will be injured." Peter continued.
"How do you know that you will become more bloodthirsty and angry after turning into a lizard?" Frank looked at Peter with a suspicious look. A qualified intelligence officer can always find doubts in the other party's unintentional words.
"Because~ Because when I went to Osborn Group to buy spider silk, I overheard them talking about the new project they were developing, which is this lizard serum, and the side effect is this." Peter's response was fairly quick this time. , at least this lie can be self-consistent.
However, this level of lies is not enough to deceive Frank, but Frank has no plans to pursue it now. After all, everyone has secrets that they do not want to be discovered. As long as he has justice in his heart, he does not want to go to the details. pursue.
"Where did you find this little guy? Is he an adult?" Frank suddenly turned to Li Jie and asked.
"I picked it up from the rubbish heap. As for adulthood~ I think it should be adulthood, but this Spider-Man looks naive. I usually don't hire child labor." Li Jie is stocking food and beverages from himself. rummaging through boxes for food.
"Hey! I didn't pick it up from the rubbish heap! And I tell you clearly uncle~ I'm an adult." The spider protested angrily.
"Okay~ Great Spider-Man, let's eat first!" Li Jie threw a bottle of milk and two bags of cheese bread at Peter. Li Jie and Frank had beer and sausage and a bottle of chipotle peppers with a whole slice of cheese and toast. After playing so long and running so far tonight, Li Jie really felt hungry.
"Hey hey hey! It's not fair! Why am I only allowed to drink milk and eat cheese bread! It's something for elementary school kids!" Peter protested. Compared to the two who were eating sausages with beer and peppers, the supper in front of Peter was like a baby meal.
"Patients can't eat too spicy and greasy food! And even if you have a passport, I don't think you are of legal drinking age." Li Jie bluntly rejected Peter's request for sausage and beer. The legal drinking age is twenty-one.
For Peter's healthy growth, Li Jie decided not to let him drink alcohol too early. Then Li Jie and Frank, who are currently only seventeen years old, touched the bottle and drank half of the beer in one gulp.
While Li Jie and the three were eating and drinking in the secret base, the lizard warrior Zod was hiding in a corner and licking his wounds alone.
The parts injured by Li Jie have begun to recover, and the chopped claws are growing again. The recovery at the expense of his own energy made Zod feel hungry and exhausted now.
But he doesn't dare to go out to look for food now. His current body shape is too obvious, and he will be discovered as soon as he goes out. Zod is now hiding in an abandoned dam building.
Because a larger dam was built on the upper reaches of the river, the dam that originally supplied electricity around New York was abandoned, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years.
This dam was discovered by Zod when he was studying, and it was where he and his friends secretly met. There are many precious memories left here, and it is the only place where Zod feels safe now.
"Zode~! Zod! Are you there?" Just as Zod was being tortured by hunger and exhaustion, a voice suddenly came.
The voice seemed familiar, but Zod didn't dare to confirm whether it was the person he was familiar with. Now he has become a monster and no longer believes in other normal humans.
Zod immediately found a place to hide, secretly looking at the direction of the sound with his eyes with thermal imaging capabilities.
There was a figure in that place, and it was getting closer. "Zode~! It's me! I'm Reed, and I'm here to help you!" The person who came was Reed the chameleon.
Zod and Reed were friends when they were studying, and they both enlisted in the army. Zod graduated from West Point Military Academy as a grass-roots commander and served as a platoon leader in the army, while Reed was an ordinary young man who was recruited into the army. After enlisting, he was assigned to Zod's men.
Two years of childhood friends have fought side by side, and they have eliminated many terrorists. Many ordinary civilians who were kidnapped and held hostage by terrorists were rescued.
The two of them strictly abide by military discipline, even in the chaos of the Middle East where a piece of chocolate can be exchanged for a girl's chastity. Because of the leadership of the two of them, a platoon under Zod became the most courageous and well-organized unit of the local U.S. military.
The two once fantasized about ending the war together so that the local people could live in peace. Maybe this idea is naive, but it is the passion of the two young people.
But it all ended with a car bomb on the roadside in Baghdad. Zod's platoon is out on a mission and is hit by a car bomb. Of the fifteen people in the platoon, only Zod and Reed survived.
The remaining thirteen people all returned to heaven, and left with their ideals and regrets. The living Reed and Zod also became disabled, and both were ruthlessly abandoned by the government.
How bloody a person once was, how angry he will be after blackening. Both Reed and Zod were disappointed with the government, and that disappointment turned into utter anger.
So Reed participated in the company's transformation plan without hesitation, so Zod agreed to Dr. Sean's human experiment, and they were all yearning for the day when they had the power to take revenge on this unscrupulous government!
Zod, who was hiding in the dark, heard Reed's cry, but he still didn't dare to show up. It's been three years since Reed left the VA hospital, and he's not sure if Reed is now friend or foe.
"Listen to Zod! I watched the news on TV and I know what's going on with you. I'm here to help you, I'm your best friend, please trust me." Reed has no thermographic eyes , can no longer find Zod in the dark, so he can only shout to the empty room.
"Reed~ Get out of here! I can't guarantee whether I will hurt you, do you know what I look like now!" Zod finally chose to persuade Reed to quit, and only rationality made him not want to hurt himself friend.
"Zord! You are really here, come with me. I can help you. Don't worry about hurting me, I am just like you now." Reed heard Zod's voice and said a little excitedly.
Reed unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his gray-green skin and thin scales, like a lizard. Zod stepped out of the darkness in surprise and stared at Reed, who had been transformed into a lizard like himself.
