Chapter 136 R: The Bat Incident (Seventeen)

Chapter 136 R Bat Event (Seventeen)

Everyone behind the defense line saw that the figure that seemed a little small under the overwhelming tide of bats directly stuck two spider silks to the two buildings next to it.

There was no one in the two buildings. The buildings were already shaky in the battle the night before. This time, the two spider silks shot by Spider-Man were black, and there was a large web on the top, which directly stuck to most of the entire floor area.

Then, Spider-Man exerted force with both arms and contracted them inward. The two buildings made a teeth-grinding squeezing sound and began to gradually tilt.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the two huge buildings collapsed with a loud bang, and violent smoke and dust rose. The first batch of bats that rushed towards the defense line did not expect this situation at all, and were buried under the tall buildings on the spot.

Everyone present was stunned.

Those were two buildings that were dozens of meters high!

Previously on the battlefield, Peter played a more agile supporting role. Wherever there was an emergency, he would rush there as soon as possible, either to repair fortifications or to escort the wounded, playing a more auxiliary role.

This was the first time everyone realized how powerful Spider-Man was. Stark opened the mask of his mecha, stared straight at Peter, and found that he had no signs of fatigue at all.

When the building collapsed, Peter dodged nimbly, then pulled up a truck next to it and smashed it at the fish that escaped the net. The giant truck with a tire as high as a person was no different from a small stone in his hand.

Stark swallowed his saliva, and Steve said, "Can your mecha do it with full force?"

Stark hesitated and said, "Yes, but you can't use this way of force. You must find a support point. This is not scientific..."

"His upper limit should be more than this." Steve hugged his arms and watched Spider-Man kill in the center of the battlefield.

As a physical mutation, Steve knows this very well. He said: "Peter's power is still a long way from being fully developed. His upper limit must be terrifyingly high."

Stark frowned and said anxiously: "I feel some pressure now. If it is true as you said, then his spider sense may really achieve the effect of prophecy."

"I'm talking about the future." Steve looked at Stark and said: "At least until now, Peter is still in the adaptation period. The power brought to him by this mutation is far from reaching its peak, even the spider sense is the same."

"To be honest, I think it's a bit strange. Peter told me before that his spider sense rarely forms a specific picture, especially for such a long time, from you popping out of the mecha, falling, and then falling to the ground. This is too specific."

"Does Spider-Sense have any split-screen shots? First, it will film you in what kind of environment, then it will film you ejecting the mecha and falling, and finally it will film the result of landing. Even if it is a prophecy, it can't be so clear and definite, right?"

"Now that you put it that way, I also think it's a bit wrong." Stark said doubtfully: "Peter never mentioned before that he has the ability to predict the future, especially so clearly and accurately."

"Maybe he can do it in the future." Steve concluded: "But at present, it seems that the Spider-Sense ability that matches his current strength should not have such clear predictions."

"In any case, I still have to be prepared. After all, if this is true, things will become very tricky."

Spider-Man blocked the first and most violent wave of attacks, which provided a breathing space for the defense line in the rear.

When the second wave of bats attacked again, the bats also learned to be smart. They no longer rushed down from the air, but some of them turned into human forms and cooperated with ground attacks to reduce human anti-aircraft firepower.

After a day of preparation, the human firepower was greatly improved. Thanks to some operations of Pierce and Nick, all the troops involved in the defense were supplemented with sufficient heavy firepower. In this case, the advantages of human weapons were reflected.

Most of the heavy weapons of humans will cause high temperatures and explosions, which is exactly what vampires fear the most. In addition to the target to be hit accurately, the splash damage is also very high.

In some important defense locations, oil barrels that can be detonated by snipers are set up. If necessary, the explosion and flames of the oil barrels can be used to interrupt the rhythm of the bats' attack.

At the beginning, the entire defense rhythm was very good, with various weapons alternating to cover and the defense line advancing layer by layer. After a while, it even counterattacked to the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge.

But soon, many problems began to emerge. For example, humans underestimated the fearless momentum of this group of bats, or in other words, this group of bats was simply controlled by something and turned into crazy cannon fodder.

Hawkeye had just blown up an oil barrel, and the explosion severely injured a bat and set another one on fire. However, the bat on fire did not retreat, but rushed into the nearest machine gun base with flames all over its body.

Although the machine gunner was well prepared, one person was still caught in the flames. If his companions had not put out the fire in time, he might have died.

However, the burns also made it impossible for him to continue fighting, and he was soon taken away by a hexagonal nut robot.

This group of crazy bats simply didn't care about their lives. They would rather hurt 800 enemies and 1,000 of their own, and continue to attack.

Hawkeye put down his bow, cursed inwardly, and then said to Natasha on the other end of the intercom: "What's going on? These bats are even crazier than last night!"

"The bat god they are talking about is likely to control them with some kind of power." Natasha's tone was as calm as ever. "But Nick told me that there may be a turning point soon."

As the battle became more and more intense, the advantage of humans gradually faded, and the two sides began to stalemate like a meat grinder.

Stark was repelling the attack of a crazy bat with one shot, and then the steel mecha took off into the air and repelled the bats that were about to attack the position with a few shots. At this time, Jarvis' voice came from his cheek: "The Stark Building Laboratory sent a communication, and the communicator is Dr. Connors.

"Connect the communication. "Stark said floating in the air.

Dr. Connors' voice came from the headset. He spoke quickly and calmly. Connors said: "Listen, first of all, regardless of the principle, I have made a potion. If it is released properly, it can make all the bats on the battlefield lose their combat effectiveness at once."

"Just tell me what to do." Stark said bluntly.

"I told Nick before that I have a better way to solve the problem from the root. Now I have succeeded. Only the last step is left."

"In general, using the lizard serum I extracted, that is, the components of the serum that can turn me into a lizard monster, I made them into an infectious mutant serum to infect those bats."

"Once the bats are infected, they will begin to lizardize. Unlike humans, bats cannot become lizard people, but only become lizardized, such as growing thick scales all over their bodies, growing tails and legs, and losing the ability to fly. "

"I changed the ingredients to make this mutation more uncontrollable, so they may grow a tail on their chest or be crushed to death by thick scales."

"This mutation is completely uncontrollable, so once infected, the mutated bats will almost completely lose their combat capability."

"But won't that infect humans?" Stark asked.

"Of course not, otherwise why did I get so many bats to study? This is a targeted infection serum that is completely ineffective against humans. I have tested it."

"Okay, what else do you need?"

"In order to eliminate the combat effectiveness of all bats at once, I need a spray generator with sufficient power. It is best to spray this mutant serum in an instant, covering the entire battlefield and infecting all bats. The speed should be fast to prevent them from using any magic to counter it."

Stark thought for a while, and he looked at the increasingly tragic battle situation on the ground and said, "Let's do it this way. I remember I still have an ultraviolet generator. Can you see if that can be used? "

"I have seen all your design drawings of the generator. According to the estimation, its power is not enough. Light and gas are different. Gas needs a huge driving force to quickly cover the entire battlefield."

"Then hurry up to modify it. I have opened all the laboratory permissions to you."

"Ethan and I have already made a version, but we still need the final debugging. We will be on the scene within half an hour. The problem you need to consider now is where to set it up and how to detonate it."

Connors said quickly: "In theory, its spray range will be a sphere with a diameter of about 300 meters. In order to maximize the use of this range, the generator must not be set up on the ground. Find a tall building in the nearest range of the crossfire zone. Once you choose a location, we will immediately transport the generator there."

Stark said: "In fact, there is only such a tall building in the entire range."

He looked up and saw the Brooklyn Heights Building on the east side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Stark seemed to have a feeling. Connors heard silence on the other end of the communication. He asked: "What's wrong? "

After a while, Stark's voice came: "No... Nothing, there is only one building that meets your conditions. Once the device is debugged, immediately transport it to the roof of Brooklyn Heights. Jarvis has sent the exact location. I'll wait for you there."

Connors heard an inexplicable emotion at the end of his voice, but he didn't have time to continue chatting and hung up the phone soon.

On the other side, Peter flew to Stark on the spider silk and said, "The situation on the front line is very bad. Where is the turning point that Natasha said? Do you know? Mr. Stark?"

"Don't worry about it." Stark's voice came from the mecha with a little distortion of electricity. Stark continued: "Tell Steve to lead a team to clean up all the vampires near the Highland Building. I want to go there."

"Highland Building?" Peter looked back and found that it was the tallest building nearby. He said, "No! Wait! You can't go! ! You forgot, you forgot my..."

"I didn't forget, Peter. I remember it very clearly, but I have to go." Iron Man in the armor flew directly over there. Peter chased him and shouted, "No!!! You know you will die if you do that! Oh my God..."

Peter took out the intercom and said to Steve, "Stop Stark! He's crazy! He wants to go to the Highland Building!"

"Peter, protect Stark." Steve's voice came from the other end of the intercom. Obviously, he also received the communication from Connors. He said, "Some things must be done even if you know there will be no good results."

Peter was almost crazy. He saw the scene with his own eyes and could not accept such a thing anyway. He said to Stark: "You don't have to go up, I can go up alone. Is there anything I can't handle? I..."

"It takes time to start the generator and it takes time for the infection to take effect." Stark's voice was very calm. He said: "One person can't defend against the attack of bats at the same time, and then start the generator. Evacuation also requires people to support. One person can never complete it."

"Then we can think of other ways, we don't have to..."

"Peter, I said it a long time ago..." Stark stopped, his visor rose, Peter saw Stark's face, he didn't see any panic or fear on it, he looked calmer than usual.

"If I am afraid of death, I should be hiding in the layers of protection of Stark Tower now, instead of fighting here."

"I know better than anyone that if I am bound to die, no matter how advanced the mecha is, it can't protect me. I don't get any sense of security from this mecha. I am facing death every moment."

In the dark night sky, Peter hung on the wall of a building, looking at Stark floating opposite him.

Stark's hair fluttered under his visor, and his eyes seemed to absorb all the light around him, reminding Peter of the sunrise he and Stark saw together at the beginning.

"Even without your prediction, I would be worried every minute and every second on the battlefield."

"Advanced mechas, more advanced mechas, I will continue to develop all kinds of mechas, because of the fear of death."

"What I didn't tell you is that on that night in the cave in Afghanistan, in addition to pain, there was endless fear. No one would not be afraid of death."

Peter heard that Stark's voice began to mix with pain, as if he was recalling things he didn't want to recall.

"At that time I knew I was dying, and no one could tell me whether I could survive..."

"Just like today, I knew I was going to die..."

Stark closed his eyes, his voice began to tremble a little, and was gradually blown away in the cold wind of Brooklyn at night,

"I may be crazy, I know there is a dead end ahead, but there are still voices urging me to do this, I have to do this..."

"I can only do this."
