Chapter 81: Fighting the Punisher

Gwen Stacy shuddered suddenly, and after desperately suppressing her desire to escape, she tried to reply in the most emotionless voice: "I'm not a lesbian, next!"

Although Gwen Stacy herself supports these minority groups, she only hopes that they will be treated equally. She has no interest in turning herself into a lesbian!

To be honest, Miss Spider had imagined that in today's interview, people would excitedly talk to her about what Spider-Woman did, and boldly express their admiration, support, or dissatisfaction and disgust for her. She could profile the New York citizens' views on Ghost Spider's actions.

But...the current situation can only be said to have caused Gwen to suffer a great setback:

Most people don't care about Spider-Woman or what she does...The more terrifying fact is that among her supporters, only a small number of them are really moved by her behavior or want to repay her for her help!

Of the 80% of supporters, 40% are because they have an abnormal curiosity about Spider-Woman - that curiosity usually involves human instinctive desires; the remaining 40%... well, the female compatriot just now is just one example.

"Why is it so difficult to find a normal person now!" Gwen Stacy lowered her head in a somewhat collapsed state, pulling the few remaining hairs on her right head through the mask.

"Then what do you think of me?"

When Gwen collapsed on the table, a low and hoarse male voice sounded in front of the girl - she raised her head and saw only a black-haired man wearing an old-fashioned tactical vest with various gadgets that Gwen didn't recognize hanging on it...

At the same time, the man's left arm was holding a shotgun, pointing at the trembling interviewees behind him - through the battle suit Raymond gave her, Gwen certainly knew that the gun was not loaded with bullets.

However, the tactical vest worn by the man also had several grenade-like things hanging on it - Gwen herself could not tell the difference between grenades, flash bombs and smoke bombs.

The blonde girl straightened up from her frustration. She stood up, put her hands on the table, and asked cautiously, "Sir, there is no need to bring weapons to the interview, right?"

"I'm not here for an interview." Frank Castle, who was looking down at his dagger, raised his head, "I'm here to warn you, Ms. Spider."

"Please--" Gwen found that every time she put on this mask, she couldn't control her mouth: "I remember I said last time, don't be like the male protagonist of a 70s action thriller movie, I thought you just came back from the jungle of Vietnam!"

Frank stood up, he completely ignored the Spider Girl's mumbling behind the mask, and just asked with pressure: "Why did you save Richard Brown?"

"Who?"

"Richard Brown, the former fire chief who retired because of 911."

Gwen didn't remember who the fire chief was-in fact, until just now, the girl connected 911, retired firefighters and Richard Brown who was already working for Kingpin.

The Punisher did not give the girl time to continue thinking deeply. He did not find any clues about the hiding Richard Brown, so he could only ask Gwen: "Did you save him because you have some secret deal with Kingpin!"

Being misunderstood is almost a daily appetizer for Gwen Stacy.

She was misunderstood by her father for skipping classes, misunderstood by her father for the death of the lizard version of Peter Parker, misunderstood by her classmates because of the excessive pressure of being a superhero, and gradually became withdrawn...The most recent and outrageous thing is that she was misunderstood as pregnant because she suffered from PTSD after going to the battlefield!

Okay, now there is another one, and the Punisher misunderstood that she was doing things for Kingpin.

He said I was doing things for Kingpin! Spider-Man, help Kingpin, do things!

Gwen didn't know where to start with the grievance that suddenly came up. The girl took a deep breath and paused for a long time before responding: "Mr. Rambo, opposing your random killing does not mean that I work for Kingpin."

"Doesn't mean that you work for Kingpin? If the lackeys who protect Kingpin are not working for him..." The man gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence.

As if ignoring the sarcasm in Gwen's tone when she called him the male protagonist of "First Blood". The Punisher just sneered: "Oppose my killing? What power do you have?"

"Do you need power to oppose killing?" Gwen was surprised, "Mr. Rambo, wake up, the Vietnam War is over! We are not Charlie standing in the paddy field!"

Frank looked at each other coldly. He naturally knew the meaning of Charlie in Gwen's mouth - referring to the Vietcong. During the Vietnam War, the US military joke once said that when the machine gun fire started, it was Charlie who ran away, and the one who stood still was the well-trained Charlie.

Frank shook his head: "What are you doing here now, Miss Liar?"

"To collect fans." Gwen shook her shoulders, and Miss Spider pinched her chin, as if deliberately mocking the serious man in front of her: "I remember that this saying already existed during the Vietnam War."

"Childish." The Punisher lowered his head, shook his head and said softly - obviously, in the eyes of soldiers who have been on the battlefield, Gwen Stacy, who talks a lot of nonsense and does not show any willingness to tell the truth, is obviously not a person who can communicate.

And for soldiers, once the other party shows that they cannot communicate - then they only have one method left:

"Da da da da -"

Gwen's body reacted before her brain. The girl jumped up suddenly, and a string of 5.56mm bullets grazed her toes and fingertips. The girl turned her head to look, only to find a bullet not far away. The remote-controlled machine gun was firing at him "dong dong dong".

The interviewers began to run away, and the Punisher didn't pay attention to the group of "social scum" in his eyes, but just advanced step by step towards Gwen Stacy, who was wearing a black and white uniform.

"Mr. Rambo, is this the instrument you found to dance with me?" Gwen jumped into the air and hid under her mask, talking shamelessly, verbally bullying the tall, taciturn former veteran opposite her, which made the girl feel quite embarrassed. A sense of accomplishment.

The Punisher didn't want to talk nonsense to Gwen who was jumping in the air. He pulled out a shotgun. At the same time, a second remote-controlled machine gun began to fire at Gwen - this was not to hit the girl, but to seal it. Stay out of her way.

The Punisher has been studying her combat patterns since her last fight with Ghost Spider, and eventually, Frank discovered that Ghost Spider always dodges bullets, which also shows that her superpowers do not include bulletproofing.

In addition, the ghost spider is very good at using three-dimensional space to move around. She has the ability to cling to vertical walls and is assisted by an extremely strong material called "spider silk" - this is the same target that the Punisher has dealt with before. All different.

Therefore, he needs to use firepower to lock the ghost spider's maneuvering range as much as possible, and then try to hunt her in a small area - although this is very risky, but for Frank Castle, who has no superpowers and only has a tactical plan in his head, Say, this may be the only solution.

In an abandoned building with an unfinished exterior, Gwen Stacy was dodging remote-controlled machine guns and the Punisher's shotgun one after another. Although those remote-controlled machine guns were rigid, they were arranged extremely carefully, sealing off the girl's moving space with strings of bullets mixed with tracer bullets.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but become more serious - how could the Spider-Man be defeated so easily? Gwen silently counted the few tenths of seconds left between the short burst and the long burst of the machine gun. He seized the opportunity and jumped up from the bullet-woven cage, clinging to the ceiling:

"Mr. Rambo -" Gwen, who was crawling on the ceiling, freed up a hand and saluted the Punisher who was loading two bullets into the shotgun at the same time. "Your tactical plan was excellent, and it almost sealed the deal." A spider, therefore, Captain passed!"

This is naked ridicule. The Punisher raised his hand and fired a shot at Gwen. The girl jumped lightly onto a load-bearing pillar and easily avoided the shot...

"boom!"

The Punisher retracts his 40mm grenade launcher.

The sudden explosion shocked Gwen - the Punisher obviously knew that the ghost spider had the ability to react beyond ordinary people, so he also minimized the interval between his attacks. Even if Gwen could react, he would not have time to escape. The scope of the attack!

The girl was thrown more than ten meters away by the exploding grenade. Gwen rolled in the air to relieve her strength, and when she finally landed on the ground, although she maintained a crouching position, she still slid out a few meters.

She stood up unsteadily and moved her shoulders: "Oh, not bad! Then try this!"

Gwen raised the multi-function watch on her left wrist, tapped the screen, and turned on the stealth function of the suit for the first time.

In the eyes of Frank, who was standing with his gun not far away, the girl's reflection suddenly disappeared, leaving him with only a somewhat mocking face.

"Raymond, don't make any mistakes with your invisibility!" Gwen said silently in her heart. Then she stepped forward with her long legs, accelerated, and shot out spider silk in front of her. The spider silk briefly lifted the girl off the ground, and she briefly glided at low altitude——

Then the tall Punisher was kicked out by Gwen.

The girl briefly appeared and chuckled: "You've never seen this before, hippie~" - Gwen was connecting all the anti-war elements of the 1970s with the man in front of her.

"Invisibility." The Punisher, who was kicked more than twenty meters away by Gwen, spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up, "Interesting."

Gwen disappeared again, and at the same time, Frank also stood up. The man's brow was unprecedentedly serious - an invisible ghost spider had exceeded his most pessimistic predictions before the war.

He took a deep breath and looked downstairs - Gwen's interviewers had all fled, and the man clenched his fists - then a fist struck from the void, knocking him back a few steps.
