By the way, I came with Mr. Dillon; I asked Gwen if she could bring me for a tour. Sorry to bother you, Doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Connors laughed: \"I just heard you chatting with Gwen; do you really think my experiment can succeed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk said with a smile: \"I've read the Doctor's paper. Obviously, if the Doctor's experiment succeeds, it will certainly benefit humanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not flattery, but a fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Dr. Connors' regeneration experiment could succeed, there would be no more disabled people in the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this refers to physical disabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is why Hawk said it would benefit humanity, rather than all of mankind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the premise for all of this is that Dr. Connors can actually produce the regeneration serum, rather than concocting that lizard serum that turns people into Lizard-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is highly unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Dr. Connors became the Lizard was mainly due to the warning from the Amazing Spider-Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Dr. Connors before him looked like the one from the Amazing Spider-Man movie, there was no Amazing Spider-Man here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a spider-being here, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was working a summer job at the Daily Bugle and was unlikely to appear here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The probability of the Dr. Connors here becoming the Lizard is honestly not as high as the probability of Max Dillon, who was doing repairs outside, becoming Electro next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hawk's words were watertight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say whether he believed it or not, only that once Dr. Connors' experiment succeeded, it could benefit humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Connors was very pleased by this and laughed, though he didn't say anything more. However, as he left, he said to Gwen: \"Gwen, you can introduce your classmate to our current progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare for someone to affirm his experiment, and Gwen wasn't actually involved in any core technology; the progress was public, so there was no issue of leaking secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen acknowledged, and after Dr. Connors left, she stood side-by-side with Hawk again and whispered: \"Do you really think Dr. Connors' experiment can succeed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk was watching the lab technician who had tapped open the gamma stone walk toward a centrifuge not far away; hearing this, he looked at Gwen beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to shake his head and say he didn't believe it, he seemed to notice something and looked up at the lightbulb overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightbulb on the laboratory ceiling flickered rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the bursting of the bulb, the lights in the entire laboratory suddenly went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the sound of an explosion coming from the darkness in an instant, and the sound of urgent exclamations, Hawk instantly felt a sense of pressure heading toward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk didn't have time to think; almost subconsciously, he extended his right hand and blocked in front of Gwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk felt the pain coming from his palm and knitted his brows.

However, this pressure came and went quickly, but she had seen it clearly: the moment that pressure disappeared, a few drops of blood had dripped down within her line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hawk's palm was perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen seemed to think of something; her eyes lit up, and she walked to the lab entrance, looking at the spot where she had just been standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that floor...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the white floor, a few drops of blood were clearly visible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white mouse with a severed tail ran over there, sniffed, and then, as if its eyes lit up, began to stick out its tongue and lap up those few drops of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Te!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen Stacy snapped back to her senses and hurriedly ran inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-18T05:22:53.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d3c23f72bb1a064fd66caff608c2123f3d64efb117b3f690f6814d990a283a49","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-43","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-41",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-cover.jpeg"]
