Chapter 152 - 140 Spiderman and Lizard Man Join Forces to Capture Lizard Man_2

~8 min read 1,563 words

Then, with a raise of his hands, he shot Spider Silk upwards, and as the Lizard Man lunged at him again, he yanked his hands hard, propelling himself swiftly upward!

The Lizard Man lunged at nothing!

Gwen’s sensitivity was obviously much higher than Peter’s. Now that she had a focal point and the environment had brightened, the Lizard Man couldn’t touch her at all!

Above her, a piece of already cracked concrete fell down as Gwen tugged on it!

Bang!

More than ten tons of concrete chunk plummeted from a height of seven meters onto the head, bringing down accompanying debris with it.

Not to mention carbon-based lifeforms, even a larger tank couldn’t withstand such an impact.

Although the Lizard Man wasn’t an ordinary carbon-based lifeform, it was really starting to struggle.

The blunt force would penetrate the keratin scales and reach the subcutaneous cells, crushing a mass of tissue and thereby triggering the regenerative ability.

After multiple cell divisions, the timing of DNA methylation would be accelerated, consuming the Cutting Protein in the Pharmaceutical to maintain an activated state of DNA—

Peter had only injected himself with one dose of the Pharmaceutical, which wasn’t much.

Once the effects of the Pharmaceutical wore off, lizardization would enter a state of decline.

"Hiss!!!"

The Lizard Man’s golden vertical pupils began to inject with blood, seemingly signaling that Peter had completely lost his rationality!

Lille frowned as he observed the soaring hormonal indicators, the shift in these data metrics looking increasingly familiar.

"What now? Still not enough?"

"Not yet—do it again! See the hole in the wall? Do it there, there are some rebars on the ground, use them to block the gap while he’s dizzy, do it a few more times."

"You think I’m Superman?!"

"Are you an ordinary person?"

Gwen, speechless, leaped to the rooftop, and fiercely kicked the wall, creating a large crack, then shot out Spider Silk to wrap around it.

As the Lizard Man entered a berserk state, Gwen landed on the edge of the wall, fiercely pulling as the Lizard Man lunged at her!

This time the concrete chunk fell from an even higher spot, nearly spanning the height of three floors; Gwen pulled and then jumped up, dodging the lunge!

The Lizard Man leaped at nothing, pivoted with a drift and kicked off the wall, attempting to exert force, but Gwen quickly shot Spider Silk to stick his feet!

Bang!

This muffled thud was somewhat deafening, and the concrete chunks cracked open on the Lizard Man’s head, with scales showing fractures!

Gwen quickly picked up the rebar on the ground, was about to tie the rebar to the hole when she heard Lille again:

"Hit him again!"

Gwen immediately threw the rebar, fiercely striking the Lizard Man’s head once more!

These two blows truly shook Peter’s brain nearly into oblivion, leaving him sprawled out, shaking his head—during which Gwen affixed the rebar to the hole.

But there was still a large gap.

Gwen tied up the rebar with Spider Silk to reinforce it, sealing a large chunk of the hole, leaving only a few small gaps.

"What’s this for?"

"Watch his condition."

Gwen looked at the Lizard Man, noticing that his size seemed to have shrunk a bit—the spines on his back weren’t as large anymore.

This was effective!

Lille continued, "The beast’s instincts will make him flee after a significant attack; it’s a trap, lure him in, then use your Spider Silk to restrain him."

"Got it—how many more times do we need?"

"One last time, you do it yourself, aim for his jaw if possible."

"Alright...Peter, this time you’ve really got me in trouble."

Gwen stood in place, watching the Lizard Man as he regained consciousness, bouncing on the spot like a boxer—

Though she had just become Spiderman.

But Spiderman’s strength was actually quite significant, easily overlooked by ordinary people, but not by Lille.

This strike should be enough to completely eradicate the effects of the Pharmaceutical, losing the drug’s power, the lizard DNA would enter a full methylation phase.

Starting from this phase, excessive strikes could likely leave unseen threats in Peter’s body, which would ultimately, with the complete methylation of his DNA, cause him to degenerate back into a human and die instantly on the spot.

Gwen’s righteous kick as Spiderman was just about right.

The Lizard Man regained consciousness and, gathering his last strength, charged again—

Gwen timed her move perfectly, performing a nimble backflip and dodging the pouncing attack before seizing the opportunity to exploit the beast’s offensive flaws—

Just then, Lille witnessed an extremely abnormal scene—

As the methylation progressed further, the blood indicators within the Lizard Man showed rapid and significant abnormalities—massive hormone secretion!

It lightly tapped the ground to stop its forward momentum, causing Gwen to kick into thin air, then whipped her away with its tail!

This abnormal enhancement of physical capabilities—was somewhat similar to the transformation seen in cybernetic psychosis...

The Lizard Man turned and sprinted towards the cave entrance, just as Lille had anticipated. It was trying to escape!

Its sudden burst of speed caught Gwen off-guard, and now, the combined steel and Spider Silk connection was simply not enough to stop the Lizard Man!

The Lizard Man charged straight for the gap. Given its size, it indeed couldn’t squeeze through.

But that thing would only stop it for a second!

Lille had no choice but to rush over with the prepared pharmaceutical—

"Lille, what are you doing!"

Before George could react, he saw Lille sprinting forward, and almost simultaneously—he hardly noticed, such speed was unimaginable for an ordinary person!

The Lizard Man and Lille reached the wall at the same time, and the Lizard Man didn’t even notice Lille.

As it raised its hand to dismantle the temporary blockade, Lille saw his chance and thrust the syringe straight into the abdominal injection port through a hole in the Spider Silk!

The first injection port was at the chest, perfectly suited to penetrate through the spider web!

However, in its Si Anweisitan state, the Lizard Man’s speed wasn’t quite on par with Lille’s but wasn’t much slower either—

Lille had only injected half of the pharmaceutical when a massive claw swatted at him, forcing him to dodge!

The dose wasn’t sufficient!

Lille fell back as the Lizard Man let out a pained roar, abandoned its attempt to climb out of the building, and instead turned and rapidly crawled inside!

Its body size was rapidly shrinking, and its speed was decreasing, but it was still agile, moving quickly among the rubble and debris!

Gwen woke up just in time to witness this scene, and immediately tried to get up but found herself pinned by some steel bars and debris—

At this critical moment, she was stuck!

Lille couldn’t hold back anymore. He quickly maneuvered through the gaps in the spider webs, closely chasing Peter—

If he couldn’t catch him now, what would happen later was uncontrollable!

So Gwen witnessed an incredible scene—

She saw Lille swiftly jump in, then move between the chaotic ceiling and walls in a way that greatly resembled her own technique—

This was a highly complex terrain. Lille’s movements, though not as rapid as hers, were incredibly fast for an ordinary person!

At this moment, Lille’s right hand was fitted with Magnetic Suction Gloves instead of the full prosthetic; although not fully functional, it provided sufficient adhesion.

His left hand used the Spider Silk Emitter, drawing the webbing to provide pulling force. With one hand on spider silk and the other sticking to the wall, he moved rapidly through the narrow and twisting wreckage!

This scene left Gwen dumbfounded!

Although Lille’s movements didn’t seem much stronger than those of an ordinary person, this method of movement was incredibly similar to hers!

And it was quick! The actions seemed effortless!

Just as Peter was about to run out of the room, Lille shot a web of Spider Silk that stuck to him, then kicked the almost-transformed-back Peter to the ground.

The first injection port was blocked by a broken needle, so Lille took out a second vial of pharmaceutical, targeting the injection port near Peter’s spine and administering it.

As the pharmaceutical was injected, all the Lizard DNA began to methylate, and from a methylated state, it started to disintegrate, returning Peter more towards his human form.

But as he was transforming back, Lille started to undergo lizardization himself; his arms became increasingly robust, and his claws destroyed the prosthetic gloves and magnetic components—

This made Gwen in front of him really freak out—thinking he was one of her kind, only to realize he was Peter’s "kind"?!

Gwen tentatively asked, "Um... Mr. Lizard? I seem to be stuck, can you help me out? Did Peter suffer a negative reaction from joining your group uninvited?"

Before she could finish speaking, a column beside them came crashing down!

Bang!

Gwen then saw this Lizard "Man" swiftly push away the falling column with an arm that had turned green, and then he quickly shed the concrete blocks and steel rebar from his own body.

As she struggled to crawl out, she was met with piercing golden vertical pupils:

"Let’s talk outside, remember to keep this a secret."

After saying that, Lille administered an antidote to himself.

Gwen, stunned, nodded—

What on earth was going on today?
