Marvel's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Chapter 138

c138 Lizard Kingdom

“What’s going on? I feel like there’s a lot of dangerous aura underground?” Gwen looked at Bid and held his hand a little tighter.

Even though her individual combat power is quite strong now, she will unconsciously show her weak side as long as she is with Bid.

Bid narrowed his eyes, and invisible quantum fluctuations spread far away.

Combined with the feedback of spider sense, he soon “saw” the source of those auras.

It was a group of lizardmen with a body size similar to that of normal people, standing upright.

There were about a thousand of them, scattered in every sewer in this city.

Bid reacted immediately.

There is indeed such a lizardman kingdom under New York City.

Speaking of which, the appearance of these lizardmen is thanks to Dr. Connors.

Before conducting his new genetic technology research, Dr. Connors combined his DNA with the DNA of lizards and injected it into his body.

As a result, the experiment failed, and he turned into a lizardman.

He was very angry at the time, so he flushed the failed experimental results into the sewer.

As a result, the lizards gathered in the sewers ate these things and began to evolve gradually, and finally became a new species – lizard people.

These lizard people believed that Dr. Connors – or the transformed Dr. Lizard was their father and the king of this lizard kingdom. They hoped that Dr. Lizard could lead them to defeat humans and become the masters of the world!

With this idea, they kidnapped Dr. Connors and Mary Jane. Then, Dr. Connors became Dr. Lizard, who temporarily had reason. After helping Mary Jane escape, he became the real Dr. Lizard and caught the Nine-Four Spiders.

In the end, it was Mary Jane and Dr. Connors’ wife Margaret who risked their lives to detonate a gene bomb targeting these lizard monsters, which made them all degenerate back to the lizard state.

Bid had no good feelings for these ambitious lizard people.

The only thing that made him feel a little sorry in the original play was the lizard girl named “Gira”.

Gira was the only sober one among all the lizard people. She was very kind and had no violent factors.

In the play, it was her final divine assist that allowed the gene bomb to explode successfully.

Otherwise, Nine-Four Spiders, Mary Jane and Margaret would all die!

“Gwen, are you interested in going to see the so-called Lizard Kingdom together?” Bid invited Gwen.

Gwen rolled her eyes at him: “Other people’s boyfriends take girls to see dramas and amusement parks, but you take your girlfriend to the dirty sewer to see disgusting lizards.”

Bid smiled awkwardly: “Well, how about I take you back first?”

Gwen patted him lightly: “Are you serious?”

“No, no, no,” Bid’s desire to survive was instantly full, “I mean, this beautiful, gentle and generous Miss Stacy, are you willing to accompany me to see the rare lizards?”

Gwen laughed and said: “You are so naughty, seeing that you are so sincere, let’s go!”

“Wait, go find two people first.” Bid pulled Gwen.

Good guy, he said no, but his body was so honest that he couldn’t wait.

A few streets away, in the home of Jiu Si Zhu.

Jiu Si Zhu quietly got in through the window, and was about to take off his clothes to have a good rest and make a few bottles of spider silk solution, when the portal suddenly opened in his room.

Jiu Si Zhu was startled, and then realized that this was Bid’s trick.

He said helplessly: “Mr. Bid, can’t you respect my privacy?”

Bid laughed and scolded: “I don’t even think you made me have stye, why are you shy? Hurry up and pack up and get ready to go.”

“Ready to go? Where to go?” Jiu Si Zhu put down the clothes that were half lifted up and asked.

Bid said: “I found a lizard kingdom in the sewer. They are planning to overthrow human rule over the earth. Are you not interested? If not, I will leave.”

Jiu Si Zhu was startled.

“What? Lizard Kingdom? ! ! Is it what I thought?”

Bide nodded and confirmed his idea: “It’s what you thought. They can be said to be the ‘offspring’ created by Dr. Connors. Although none of them are as powerful as the Dr. Lizard mutated by Dr. Connors himself, their number is very, very large.”

“Are there dozens of them?” Jiu Si Zhu showed a horrified expression on his face.

He had already imagined the scene of dozens of Dr. Lizards standing in front of him.

Just one Dr. Lizard was enough to beat him.

And if this number was multiplied by dozens of times.

“Fortunately, I have become stronger now.” Jiu Si Zhu felt a little relieved, and at the same time, he was more grateful to Bi De, who gave him more powerful abilities.

However, Bi De shook his head: “Dozens? You are too naive.”

“Are there hundreds of them!” Jiu Si Zhu widened his eyes and stopped the movement of his hands.

“No, there are thousands!” Bi De said, “To be more precise, there are about 3,700 or so. Of course, there are some that I haven’t detected. After all, the sewer network in this city is too huge. I only spent a few seconds searching, so it’s not surprising that I missed some corners.”

“Several thousand!!!” Jiu Si Zhu’s whole body seemed to be petrified, his face was pale, and he stood there blankly.

He did not doubt what Bid said, but was shocked by the information revealed in Bid’s words.

Thousands of lizardmen with greater power, faster speed, and not much less wisdom than humans, this is really enough to start a war!

There are many smaller countries, and the whole country’s military strength may not reach this number!

“What should I do?” Jiu Si Zhu was a little confused for a while.

However, he quickly reacted and looked at Bid: “Mr. Bid, since you took the initiative to find me, do you have a way to deal with them? By the way, Dr. Connors! Maybe we can use Dr. Connors’s understanding of the lizardman genes to make an anti-gene weapon and find the right opportunity to solve them all at once?”

This time it was Bid’s turn to be a little surprised.

He knew to find Dr. Connors because he had read the original plot, so he knew that Dr. Connors had targeted weapons in his hands.

In fact, his targeted weapon was not used to deal with these lizardmen-before that, he didn’t even know that lizardmen existed.

He just predicted that his experiment might fail and turn himself into a monster, so he took a safety measure and left this gene bomb that was enough to kill his mutated self.

But Jiu Si Zhu didn’t know that!

I didn’t expect that he could find the most likely solution to the problem so quickly in a panic.

His meticulous logic and clear thinking can be seen.

No wonder Mrs. Spider called him: Spider-Man with leadership temperament.

This kind of calmness in the face of danger is his unique character, and it is also what Bid needs to learn.

“Have you packed it up? Okay, let’s go find Dr. Connors together,” Bid said directly without explaining so much to Jiu Si Zhu.

“Wait, I need to replenish my spider silk first,” Jiu Si Zhu’s hands moved faster.

Gwen said, “Don’t you think your spider silk is too thin? It breaks when you pull it.”

Jiu Si Zhu was a little embarrassed: “This is the spider silk I studied for a long time. Sometimes it is not very tough, but most of the time it is still very reliable.”

“Well, actually, after Mr. Bid strengthened my strength, I feel that I should be able to mix a stronger spider silk, but unfortunately I don’t have time to do it now.”

Jiu Si Zhu said, and admitted that his original spider silk was weak.

In fact, he wanted to replace the spider silk a long time ago, but the new spider silk he studied was not satisfactory, and was not as good as the one he used originally.

At most, he could add some new substances to the spider silk solution to give it some special properties, such as the rapid coagulant added when targeting water people, etc., that’s all.

However, after he was strengthened by Bid, he did have a feeling in his mind.

It seems that as long as he follows this feeling, he can mix a stronger spider silk!

Bid looked at Jiu Si Zhu with a smile: “Actually, there is no hurry. The brains of these lizardmen have not evolved well yet. They should still be accumulating strength. You can prepare for a while.”

“Is that so?” Jiu Si Zhu paused when he heard it.

Then, he shook his head: “Let’s solve the danger first. Although my original spider silk is a little fragile, it is enough. There is no rush for new spider silk at this time.”

“Okay, it depends on you,” Bid shrugged and said indifferently.

Then, Bid and Gwen waited for about half an hour, and Jiu Si Zhu finally prepared six bottles of spider silk solution.

Two bottles were directly loaded into the spider silk launcher, and the remaining four bottles were placed on his body and replaced at any time.

“Are you ready?”

“Ready.”

“Then let’s go.”

As he said, Bid opened a portal leading to the New Gene Research Institute.

At the other end of the portal, a middle-aged man in a white coat appeared.

His left arm was intact, but his right hand was only half.

Obviously, he is Kurt Connors, also known as “Dr. Lizard”.

However, Dr. Connors in this world is in a normal state most of the time, and rarely enters the state of crazy Dr. Lizard.

Moreover, he is very knowledgeable, and his new genetic technology is a product that spans several eras.

It can be said that even if there is no Spider-Man, a quarter of the stories in this version are still directly or indirectly related to him.

“Is this… space teleportation? Quantum shuttle? Dimensional wave superstring jump?” Connors turned his head and looked at Bid and the other two, as well as the portal behind them that had not been closed, and spit out a bunch of terms like a machine gun.
