Chapter 83: Ninja Spider

Peter gently pushed the door open. He was holding a pile of documents and saw a middle-aged man in a white research coat packing up his things. He said, "Dr. Connors, are you leaving today?"

The middle-aged man had gray hair and looked a little haggard. More importantly, his right arm under his research coat was empty. Obviously, he only had one arm.

"Oh, is it Peter? Yes, the research cooperation has ended, and I have to leave."

Peter gently placed the documents on the desktop of Connors' desk, and then he whispered: "I'm sorry, if I were better, maybe I could get results before the end of the research..."

"You are already very good." Dr. Connors said gently: "You are only a high school student, but you are even smarter and harder than the graduate students I have seen before. If possible, I am willing to write a recommendation letter for you."

"Thank you, but I haven't decided which university to go to, and I still have some time before I go to college."

Peter moved his lips and said, "So where are you going next? The research on serum drugs has reached the final stage, and it should be completed as long as there is a similar laboratory."

Connors Bo The soldier looked up and looked around his office, saying, "There won't be any other place with such good conditions as Stark Tower. When they asked me to come here, I agreed because I was attracted by the hardware conditions of the laboratory here."

He packed his things with his only remaining hand and said, "But it doesn't matter. As you said, the experiment has reached the final stage. As long as I work harder, I can succeed."

"By then, maybe I will not be the only one who can regain my arms. I know that many of them have lost their arms and legs in the war. The security money given by the military can barely make a living for them. Those prostheses are too expensive. If there is really a regenerative serum, they can return to normal people."

Peter heard the excitement in Dr. Connors' tone. During his internship, Dr. Connors left the deepest impression on him.

Originally, Peter was not interning in this research group, but when he was running errands for the team leader of their group, he ran into Dr. Connors who had just been invited by the military to participate in the Stark medical research cooperation.

Peter was surprised when he first met him, because Dr. Connors only had one arm, but this did not hinder his scientific research at all. He had a genius brain and was the world's top in the research of bionics and serum technology.

Peter was greatly shocked, because even people with healthy limbs might not be able to achieve such a high achievement, so he applied to transfer to Dr. Connors' research group.

After all, he was also mutated by a spider bite, and he also wanted to find out what caused this mutation.

Peter was very smart and hardworking. Although he was a bit of a nerd, he was the kind of kid that teachers liked the most, and Dr. Connors soon fell in love with this young intern.

From Connors, Peter learned that he was originally a military doctor and a veteran. It was on the battlefield that he lost one of his arms, but this did not hinder his scientific research.

On the contrary, he embarked on a different medical path, began to study the role of serum in organisms, and achieved quite good results.

When he was Dr. Connors' assistant, Peter also learned a lot about biology. After getting the spider mutation, Peter's genius brain turned faster. With two geniuses together, the speed of research was of course rising.

But just when it was about to be completed, Stark's cooperation with the military was terminated, and these researchers had to leave Stark Tower.

Originally, even if the invited research project was terminated halfway, the researchers could get their own remuneration. They were eager to finish it early and use the remaining time to go on vacation.

But Dr. Connors was different. He was not here to mess around. He really wanted to develop a serum technology that could regenerate broken limbs to restore his own limbs and benefit those disabled soldiers who lost limbs in the war like him.

So it was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed, but looking at Peter's reluctant expression, Dr. Connors still said: "It doesn't matter. When you go to college, maybe I will teach at a university in the east. You can come to my laboratory and we can continue research."

"Then it's settled!" Peter said happily.

In fact, Stark had tried to teach Peter about mecha and artificial intelligence before, but Peter was not very interested.

He was not an industrial fundamentalist like Stark. He preferred to explore the unknown mysteries of mankind, such as those hidden in nature, or the magical outer space.

In the process of studying with Dr. Connors, he learned many mysteries in cold-blooded animals such as spiders and lizards, which made him very interested. He thought it would be good for him to become a biologist or entomologist in the future.

It would be great if he could really invent some technology that could save people like Dr. Connors.

Although Peter became Spider-Man and was actively fighting crime every night, as a good student, his life plan was not just to be a superhero.

He still wanted to get into a good university step by step, and then choose a major and direction he liked to study. It would be best if he could get a few doctoral degrees, and then stay in school to teach, or open his own research center.

It may be the influence of spider mutation on him. During his research with Dr. Connors, Peter had a special closeness to these cold-blooded creatures, so he gradually determined his future goals.

The motivation of having a clear goal largely dispelled the sadness of parting with the teacher. After leaving Stark Tower, Peter planned to continue his Spider-Man career with full energy.

The last fight with Bullseye taught him a lot. Peter found that although he had a spider silk launcher that could swing on high-rise buildings, the speed was not fast. At most, it was a little faster than a car. More importantly, with such a swaggering action, as long as he attacked, all of New York would know that he was out to fight crime again.

By the time he got there, the experienced robbers had already run away.

In the last operation, the only plan that Peter was praised by the public was that he used the extensive sewers in New York.

This is a great tactic. The sewer environment in New York is not good. The walls and floors are slippery, dark and humid. Ordinary people cannot move freely there.

But Peter is different. He is Spider-Man. He can stick to various walls and he doesn't have to worry about whether the ground under his feet will make him slip when he runs.

Moreover, the straight and wide ground of the underground sewer is like a runway tailor-made for Spider-Man. There will be no traffic jams or pedestrians. When he sprints at full speed, he is much faster than racing.

The most important thing is that it is concealed enough. He moves underground and then comes out from the nearest sewer. No one will find out where he went.

This is best used when dealing with some experienced robbers.

There was a group of bank robbers before. They were all veterans. There were three or four people who were following them. Peter had fought with them, but as soon as his figure appeared in the sky, the group of people disappeared instantly.

Later, Peter used the sewer tactics to catch them off guard. Before they could transfer the packages of banknotes to the car, Spider-Man came out from the nearest sewer manhole cover at the street entrance and smashed the engine of the car they used to escape with one punch. The robbers were naturally caught by him.

Now, Spider-Man discovered the convenience of the sewer. For him, it was simply a fast elevator that could reach any place in New York at any time.

In this way, Peter began to care about the structure of the sewer.

The sewers in New York were built very early and have been renovated countless times. There is almost no map that can draw the routes of all the sewers very completely.

So Peter planned to go around all the sewers himself and then draw a route map.

Anyway, he was not busy with schoolwork, had plenty of time, and was fast, so he could walk around half of the city in one day.

That day, Peter was walking around in the sewer again. He was holding a map in his hand and marking the structure of the sewer with a marker.

He was drawing very attentively and didn't pay attention to his feet. His spider sense moved and he found that a piece of brick under his feet was lifted up. If he continued to ignore the road, he might be tripped.

So Peter put down the map in his hand and planned to walk around this piece before looking.

And just then, he found a little difference in the details.

Generally speaking, most of the sewers in New York would not be visited by anyone, and the ground was full of all kinds of slippery moss and scale, but the moss here seemed to have been cleaned by something.

Peter walked to the junction of the wall and the floor tiles and found a little white powder. He leaned over and smelled it, and found that it was an acidic substance, which seemed to be specially used to clean moss.

Who would have nothing to do and come here to sweep the floor? Peter thought that even if it was him, he would not want to stay in this dark and damp ghost place if it was not for fighting crime.

He continued to walk forward along this trace, and then found that there were traces of human activities in a sewer maintenance station that had been abandoned for a long time.

This is easy to judge. There is a smell of burning fuel here. Obviously, someone has made a fire here. Peter looked into the iron door of the maintenance station. His good eyesight allowed him to find that there seemed to be traces of people living inside.

Peter did not use violence to knock on the door because he knew that this would most likely be discovered. He did not have any tools to pick the lock at hand, so Peter took out the map and drew a dot on the map to mark this place. He planned to take some tools and come back to take a look in a few days.

No matter who he is, it is really strange to run to the sewer to live. If he is a good person and is forced to hide in the sewer, then Peter is willing to help him. If he is a bad person, then Peter can just bring him to justice.
