Chapter 64

Crack!

In an alley, the massive Lizard Doctor halted his steps, crouching and looking very cautious.

At this point, he no longer wished to confront Spider-Man head-on, instead wanting to quietly carry out his own plans.

As for those two Spider-Men, once his plan was executed, there would be millions of Lizard people throughout New York.

Would he still fear those two small arachne by then?

The Lizard Doctor squinted his eyes, extending his long forked tongue.

Waving his forked tongue around, he tasted the air, then drew it into his Jacobson's organ.

This was a unique "olfactory" method of reptiles.

With the inadvertent help of Andrew Spider, the Lizard Doctor had developed this ability, even stronger than that of snakes and lizards in the natural world.

Typically, this ability only worked within a few dozen meters.

However, under the influence of this ability, he could discern scents within a radius of several kilometers!

"Damn it!" The Lizard Doctor's expression changed.

Through his olfactory perception, he sensed that the air nearby contained many people!

There was even the scent of gunpowder!

It must be an ambush set up by the police!

The Lizard Doctor wanted to retreat, but looking at the nearby Osborn Building within reach, he hesitated.

Just at this moment, the police, who had already set up a preliminary ambush nearby, also detected the Lizard Doctor's presence.

Several officers closest to the location immediately advanced toward the alley where the Lizard Doctor was.

Rat-a-tat-tat—

The enormous figure of the Lizard Doctor was immediately spotted.

Without further ado, the officers opened fire.

Tongues of fire spat out, and bullets wildly sprayed onto the Lizard Doctor's body.

Though his body was robust, he was still within the realm of carbon-based life forms, unable to withstand the close-range shots of the submachine guns.

Nearly every bullet left a large hole in the Lizard Doctor's body.

However, the Lizard Doctor's healing ability was also remarkably potent.

Every wound visibly healed at a rapid pace.

Burning with anger, the Lizard Doctor couldn't advance due to the Lizard gene serum he carried for his plan. He could only roar in fury and retreat, attempting to face only the enemies at the alley's entrance.

The officers were puzzled, but they understood the concept of suppressing fire.

While they fired, they advanced in formation.

Just at this moment.

Swoosh—

As they struggled to react, a swift object shot out from the alley, then swiftly retreated.

An officer who was advancing and firing took a few more steps and suddenly fell to the ground.

The officers were shocked, and two of them immediately ceased fire, dragging the fallen officer back.

When they turned him over, they saw two large holes on his forehead.

The holes penetrated deep into his brain, and hot fresh blood and brain matter were oozing out.

The two were horrified and quickly warned, "Be cautious! It seems to possess some extremely powerful sharp weapon!"

Swoosh—

Before the others could react, the thing flew out again.

Another officer fell.

Swoosh—

And another one!

In his desperation, the Lizard Doctor had developed a new ability to kill with his tongue. With several successful uses, he had grown more adept at it.

He found that the power of this tongue seemed comparable to his tail, if not superior.

Moreover, its concealment was even greater!

"Retreat, quick, retreat!"

After losing four or five officers in succession, the remaining ones were in disarray, hastily fleeing backward.

Some reported the situation, while others ran to their vehicles to retrieve projectile weapons.

Meanwhile, Mark flew through the air using his web and glanced at the communication device on his wrist.

He intercepted the radio frequencies being used by the local police force and listened to their messages.

"An attack with rapid strikes comparable to firearms? Does the Lizard possess this ability?" Mark was somewhat perplexed.

"Peter! And another little bug!" The Lizard Doctor had spotted the two Spider-Men approaching from a distance, one in front of the other.

He roared in anger.

However, the last shreds of his sanity reminded him not to get entangled further at this moment.

With a powerful leap, the Lizard Doctor swiftly climbed to the rooftop of a nearby building, using both his hands and feet. Then, relying on his developed jumping ability, he began to leap from rooftop to rooftop, making his way towards the Osborn Building.

He wanted to escape, but Andrew Spider wouldn't let him have his way.

Mark had previously told him that this was his test. Unless he was truly in mortal danger, Mark wouldn't intervene but would provide support from the sidelines.

However, the determined Andrew Spider wasn't afraid.

He extended both his hands, shooting two strands of webbing to attach on the sides of two adjacent buildings. Utilizing the webbing's elasticity, he catapulted himself towards the Lizard Doctor at great speed.

Boom!

Two figures converged in mid-air and collided forcefully.

"Doctor, why are you so stubborn?" Andrew Spider flipped onto the Lizard Doctor's back, and with a ferocious punch, struck his lower back.

The punch, powerful and heavy, caused the Lizard Doctor's back to dent in.

"It's you who's stubborn, Peter!" The Lizard Doctor gritted his teeth against the pain, his tail curling around towards Andrew Spider, "I'm trying to redeem them. Why are you stopping me?!"

Boom!

The two struggling figures crashed heavily onto the ground.

Roar!

The Lizard Doctor roared, his fist striking Andrew Spider and crashing him into a wall.

"I could create a better world!"

Emerging from the debris, Andrew Spider clenched his fists, seething, "What better world? The future is to be determined by oneself, not by you!"

With these words, he pushed off the ground, lightning-fast, and closed the distance between himself and the Lizard Doctor. His fist connected with the doctor's face.

The Lizard Doctor's cheek was obliterated by the punch, revealing the underlying skeletal remains.

"Everything is controlled by those damned capitalists! They don't have the right to choose the future! But I do!"

The Lizard Doctor was also incensed by Andrew Spider's words.

He extended his claw, viciously clawing at his own face, tearing off the damaged half and letting the blood-soaked tissue fall to the ground.

Then, rapidly regenerating tissue sprouted, soon restoring him to his original state.

This incredible regenerative ability even left Mark, who was observing, impressed.

Based on his current performance, the Lizard Doctor's regenerative capacity appeared to be just slightly below that of Wolverine and Deadpool, right?

It's just uncertain if he can regrow completely from having only his head left.

...

The battle between the fire-breathing Lizard Doctor and Andrew Spider intensified.

Once again, they turned into wrecking balls, sweeping the nearby buildings completely clean.

Meanwhile, in response to the distress signals, more police vehicles were dispatched, even including a police helicopter that was speeding towards the scene!

A large wave of officers was about to arrive on the battlefield!
