Chapter 43: The Storm is Coming
"Oh~ Oh~ Man, I'm a wounded person now." In the NightWalker's base, Peter lay on a simple table and said in a low voice.
Peter was hit by Zod's tail before, which really hurt him a lot. There were slight fractures in his arms and ribs. Fortunately, Peter's physical strength has been greatly enhanced by the spider mutation during this period, otherwise he would not have been disabled.
"Do you know you are a wounded soldier? Why did you try to be a hero before?" Jason found a pair of scissors from the toolbox, cut a hole in Peter's tights, and then tore most of it off.
"Oh~ This is my new suit. It cost me dozens of dollars. I earned it by helping others mow the lawn for several hours." Peter felt a little sorry for his battle suit so he was reimbursed.
"Shut up! I'll give you a hundred dollars later." Jason said proudly, but why does this line feel a little familiar?
Jason checked Peter's wounds and found that there were basically no external injuries. However, the internal injuries were obvious, with large areas of subcutaneous bleeding on the side of the abdomen. Moreover, Peter would feel extremely painful if he was touched even slightly.
It was obvious that his bones were also injured. On the last leg of the journey back to the base, Peter was in so much pain that he couldn't run anymore. In the end, it was Jason who carried him back.
"It looks like you can't go home today. Although your injuries are not particularly serious, I'm afraid you can't move. Is there a problem with your family?" Jason said to Peter after checking the wound.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here tonight. I told my uncle and aunt that I'll be working overtime in the next few days, so I might have to stay in the company." Peter had already informed his uncle and aunt because he was going to work overtime in the laboratory to observe experiments.
His family knew that he was working overtime in the company, so they didn't say anything.
"Okay, but I think it's better to find someone to treat your injuries. I really can't do anything about bone injuries." Jason checked his exchangeable items.
There were quite a few for treating injuries and bones, but he didn't know how to fix and bandage people with bone injuries.
After all, he had never learned the bandaging technique to fix bones, especially the ribs. The bones cannot be messed with. Spider-Man's recovery ability is much faster than that of ordinary people. If the bones are misaligned during the bandaging, they will grow crooked in the future.
"But I don't think I can go to the hospital right now, right?" Peter snorted. "I don't think we can call an ambulance here."
"Don't worry, you don't need to go to the hospital. I know a very powerful guy. He can easily deal with this kind of injury." Jason took out his phone and called the Punisher, following the three short and one long tapping pattern left last time to connect his call.
"According to the latest news sent back from the scene, the humanoid lizard creature that had wreaked havoc in the Bronx disappeared after the Thunder Team arrived. The two men who had previously stopped the lizard man at the scene also left the scene." Fox News New York was reporting on the follow-up situation of the lizard warrior.
"Through the camera's footage we can see that the ones stopping the Lizard Man are a man in a red and blue tights and a mask, and a man in a grey hoodie. Because the camera was too far away from the battle site, we were unable to capture more footage." A beautiful female news anchor was reporting the news on TV.
Chameleon Reed has basically recovered now. The body recovery ability of the modified mutants is very strong. Especially Reed who has the chameleon gene, he has a certain degree of accelerated recovery ability.
Reed's teeth almost broke when he saw the man in the gray hoodie on TV. This was the guy who almost killed him before! And the other man in the red and blue tights, Reed suspected that he was the guy who was dressed strangely and wore a bright red wrestling suit that day.
The news report continued. "According to our investigation, this lizard man first appeared from the Disabled Veterans Hospital. As we all know, the Disabled Veterans Hospital in New York City was sponsored by the Osborne Group for research. It is not clear what role the Osborne Group played in this incident. It is reported that the police have launched an investigation into the Osborne Group."
"According to an unnamed informant, this mutant lizard warrior may be Lieutenant Zod who is recuperating in a hospital for disabled veterans. Lieutenant Zod was once an excellent soldier, but retired after losing both legs and left arm in a combat mission in Baghdad." The TV began to introduce Zod's situation.
Reed looked at Zod's familiar face on the TV screen and suddenly immersed himself in memories. His thoughts were interrupted when Blue and Smith came to the hospital hand in hand.
"Maybe, we have new helpers, and a big guy may come back to the company. What do you think?" Reed said to the two of them lightly with an unknown smile on his face.
"Doctor, this is the beast claw we harvested from the previous battle." A team leader of the Thunderbolt Team took the beast claw that was cut off by Jason in the previous battle and sent it to a laboratory.
A handsome middle-aged man took the claw from the team and said with a hint of disgust, "Do you like studying monsters so much? If the government could give me more funding to perfect my research on human genes, that would be a meaningful thing."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Richard, we're just following orders." The team leader shrugged, made a helpless expression to Richard and left the laboratory.
Dr. Richard was the only one left, still looking at the giant beast claw unhappily. He still had to secure funding for his upcoming space experiment plan, so even if he didn't like it now, he had to study this thing according to the government's wishes.
Dr. Connors and Tim, who had just finished the meeting, had a quarrel in secret. They both refused to give in because Tim had taken the unfinished serum away without permission. However, as a scholar, it was difficult for Dr. Connors to overwhelm Tim.
The argument was pointless and ended unhappily. Connors was temporarily relieved of all his duties and his research would be replaced by his deputy.
Tim believes that although the current serum has encountered some minor problems, these problems can still be improved with the help of the current laboratory staff. As for Dr. Connors, with whom he has fallen out, he is no longer prepared to continue using him. Even if he wants to continue using Dr. Connors, he has to wait until he calms down completely.
Dr. Connors could only go home angrily. Now he could only pray that this monster he created would not cause more casualties.
Bang! The door of Dr. Connors's house was violently opened. A group of soldiers in US military uniforms broke in. The officer leading the group was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform.
"What are you doing? This is my private space!" Dr. Connors questioned the visitor.
"I'm sorry, Doctor, but I'm afraid we can't take care of your private space now." The lieutenant colonel said.
"The U.S. military suspects that you are related to the previous Lizard Warriors. You are accused of attempting to create biological soldiers. The U.S. military has now decided to detain you!" said the lieutenant colonel in an unquestionable tone.
"You have no right to do this! I did not create biological soldiers, and even if you want to arrest me, it should be the job of the police or the National Security Agency!" Dr. Connors quickly discovered the other party's flaw. The military in the United States does not have the right to directly arrest civilians.
"Doctor, I hope you can calm down. This is the Pentagon's decision!" The lieutenant colonel said in a cold tone, and waved his hand. Two soldiers carried Dr. Connors to the military vehicle outside.
"Check the entire room and take away all research materials!" the lieutenant colonel ordered his soldiers.
Jason's tiny intervention in this world has changed the direction of the story of the entire world. Just as a stone stirs up a thousand waves, a storm is about to come.
