"Peter!"
Bang!
Lizard Manâs immense strength almost left Gwen without any means to fight back!
With just a single swipe of his claws, steel and concrete crumbled before him like blocks of tofu, revealing the nearly snapped steel bars inside!
"Hissâ!"
Those vertical pupils stared straight at the white figure in the darkness, where reason and the instinct of a beast intermingled.
No one knew what it saw, but it kept slashing wildlyâa strange scene, akin to a lizard trying to catch butterflies!
The strangeness laid thereâsince when would a lizard catch butterflies?
Gwen dodged the claw attack and landed on the ground, while the Lizard Man charged straight at her like a tank, its massive body effortlessly smashing through the wall and rolling over everything in its path!
Gwenâs eyes widenedâ
How could this be, how could it be like this?
Even amidst the fight, too many incomprehensible things surfaced in her mind, only to be interrupted by that strange sensation againâ
While she was lost in thought, the thick tail fiercely smacked across her chest!
Bang!
She had tried to dodge, but the dark environment made it hard for her to see Lizard Manâs tail...
Or rather, in the dark environment, her vision and senses became extremely strange, and she was not yet accustomed to it!
Spikes tore through her clothes, leaving a shallow scratch; facing the powerful Lizard Man, Gwen felt helplessâ
If she didnât know this was Peter, she would have used everything around her to restrain this monster, but this was her best friend!
How could she be sure she wouldnât hurt him by mistake? After all, this was a person, not a real monster!
"Peter! You must come to your senses! I..."
Whoosh!
In the darkness, Gwen heard the sound of the wind, and then saw the tail viciously smashing toward her!
She saw nothing and could only leap swiftly to dodge, but with the leap, she realized that Lizard Man had also pounced!
Bangâ!
The claws fiercely smashed against her chest, pinning her against the wall, the immense force so crushing she could hardly breatheâ
"Coughâ"
At that moment, Lizard Man seemed to become a bit quieter, his golden pupils staring intently at Gwen.
But the force in its hand did not weaken!
Gwen fiercely kicked at the knee of Lizard Manâs leg, but it was virtually ineffectiveâ
All she could do was quietly shoot out spider silk to stick to the shaky concrete block above:
"Peterâyou... must sober up a bit!"
Bang!
With a tug of her wrist, the huge concrete block fell from the air, directly staggering Lizard Man; Gwen took the chance to break free from its grip!
"Hiss!!"
The terrible roars grew increasingly angry as the human side was gradually lost during the fight!
Gwen found it even more troublesome after landing a hitâcould this still not take it down?!
And it was too dark in here...
What was she supposed to do?
As Lizard Man charged at her again, Gwen was once again preparing to dodgeâ
Ding!
Suddenly, a bright light shone in from the damaged wall, almost turning the room into daylight!
The bright light stunned Lizard Man for a moment, causing its movements to distortâ
Gwen popped up and, from a higher vantage point, saw her... father, George!
George carried some kind of signal device on his shoulder, placed the spotlight outside the building, and directed the police behind him to keep their distance, evacuating and rescuing civilians in safer areas.
Gwen was astonished!
"Dad?!"
George didnât hear Gwenâs exclamation. He turned his head and suddenly roared, "Watch out!!!"
Gwenâs senses kicked in again, and instinctively she jumped, stretching out in mid-air, barely dodging Lizard Manâs lunge!
George, who was holding the light, sighed in relief, then turned to Lille and said, "Lille? Are you done? It looks like Spider Woman canât hold on much longer!"
"Turn up the volume on your communicator, I need to talk to her!"
"Zzzâ" The volume of the communicator suddenly increased, "Spider Woman, Iâm the technical support for this operation. You need to follow my instructions to weaken Lizard Man, slow down his movements."
"Huh?" Gwen swung to the second floor with spider silk, peering through the smashed planks and saw Lizard Man turning to charge back at her.
Perhaps with the light, Gwen felt more confident in her evasionsâ
Clearly at this stage, she couldnât rely entirely on those flash intuition crisis responses; the dark environment would only hinder her more.
"You said youâre who? Technical support?" Gwen was still puzzled about the situation when she suddenly remembered someone had called George at home, and thatâs how she knew Lizard Man was Peter.
"Alright... what should I do?"
"First, hit him hardâwhat did you use to hit him just now? It worked well."
Boom!
Lizard Man leapt fiercely, smashing the beam, the second floor flooring seemed about to collapse, and a huge piece of concrete fellâprobably weighing around ten tons.
Gwen dodged the attack, kicking at Lizard Manâs head, which was clinging to the wall, sending him tumbling down.
"It was a block about that heavy, tossed from the second floor! My God, how hard is his head!"
"Goodâget a few more like that. See the spot near the broken beams upstairs?"
Gwen frowned, but Lille had already anticipated her questions and continued to explain, "This pharmaceutical will greatly enhance human recovery abilities in a short period, but intense damage will quickly deplete its potency, causing splice DNA methylation and abnormal traits to fade!
He has monitoring equipment on him; I can check his condition! Just do it!"
After hearing the explanation, Gwenâs brows relaxed as she watched Lizard Man lunging up at her; she jumped down from the second floor to evade the attack.
