He wanted to go see the "Queen," but as soon as he stepped outside, he saw his neighbor Helen.
"Has our adventurer's journey come to an end?"
Helen, dressed in a black trench coat, stood behind the fence and asked Peter.
The two were very close; Peter could smell her breath, the scent of mint.
"To be honest, I'm wondering how you have so much chewing gum."
Helen said nonchalantly, "Perhaps I am a magician."
"No one would believe what happened while I was away. Is the Queen alright?"
Peter took two steps forward and asked her.
"It's nothing, everything is as usual. The Queen will hunt for herself and won't starve without you. She has her own life and won't be unable to survive without you."
Helen shrugged. "But when you're not around, your Uncle Ben and Aunt May get really upset. You're so strange, you're always disappearing."
"Really? It seems you're quite concerned about my family's situation."
Peter said, "Maybe I did something wrong in the past that made you think I'm some kind of freak, but most of the time, I probably am not."
"Really? I think you're weirder than anyone else."
Chapter 212 The Lizardmen and the Mysterious Shield
Peter said something and prepared to leave.
"Wait, you still haven't told me where you've been while you were missing."
Helen called out to Peter, "Or is it some kind of incredible secret?"
"It's a long story, and it might even sound a little weird. Are you sure you want to believe it?"
Helen shrugged. "To be honest, there aren't many things that surprise me, because I've seen too much. Over time, those things have become like steel wool, wearing away all my expectations and assumptions about the world."
Presumably, Helen has lived long enough that she's not surprised by anything.
"I have witnessed a woman use her prosthetic leg to beat her husband, whom she believed was cheating on her, to death; I have also seen blood, filth all over the ground, and horrific car accidents; and I have also witnessed at least two bizarre incidents where people were kicked to death by horses after trying to disrespect them."
Helen chewed gum, looking completely nonchalant.
"So by now, I have no secrets from humans, these high-class but lowly animals. Whether it's depravity, madness, or sorrow, they are all stored in my mind in a categorized manner."
Peter hesitated for a moment, "You look like you're not even thirty years old, are you really a hundred?"
"roll!"
Helen glared at Peter. "Don't you know that a woman's age is a taboo subject?"
"Don't change the subject, Peter, tell me where you've been?"
She quickly shifted the topic back to Peter.
"The multiverse."
Peter said directly to her, "This trip has been quite fruitful."
"Multiverse?"
Helen was somewhat surprised to hear this word.
She looked Peter up and down. "It sounds absurd, but you have indeed changed a lot."
Helen, whose senses were extraordinary, had long noticed Peter's unusual behavior.
"So what did you encounter in the multiverse?"
"It's a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short."
Faced with Helen's intense curiosity, Peter could only give her a brief explanation.
After listening, Helen fell into deep thought, "Other Spider-Men from parallel universes, who have already come to this world, can I meet them?"
"why?"
"Just curious."
"Of course, if they have no objections."
After chatting with Helen for a while, Peter left to head to the apartment he had bought.
That was the place he used to house the Queen.
"and many more."
Helen called to him again.
"Anything else?"
"chewing gum."
Helen handed him the chewing gum, saying, "Here, this is for you."
Looking at the chewing gum in his hand, and then at Helen as she left, Peter put it in his pocket.
Central Park.
In a secluded place, Peter gently stroked the Queen's smooth head.
Having not seen his queen for a long time, he was very excited and kept burying his head in his arms.
Although he had undergone changes in the alien embryo within him in the Barton Spider universe, the queen before him did not seem to have become unfamiliar with him because of these changes.
Gently stroking the other's head, Peter fed the beef he had just bought to the other person.
Aliens generally rarely eat raw meat, especially the meat of animals that have died, but the Queen, who was born from herself and Helen, is not averse to raw meat.
"Boom!"
Just as he was feeding the Queen, a deep, muffled sound suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.
The queen, who was eating, immediately stopped eating, raised her head, and looked around warily.
Peter turned his gaze toward the source of the sound.
That appears to be the entrance to an abandoned subway station in the city.
Peter stroked the Queen's head and frowned.
What kind of animal is it?
After hesitating for a moment, he finally came to the entrance.
The passageway was wide and deep, but pitch black inside.
Peter stood near the entrance and led the Queen inside.
Looking at the sausages he had casually bought, Peter tossed a few into the container.
He wanted to see what kind of animal was inside.
In the gloomy, repulsive abandoned passage, something seemed to be watching them and the Queen.
Shortly after he threw the sausage out, a sound came from inside the tunnel.
It seems like something is running outwards.
"Wang! Wang!"
Several stray dogs barked softly and ran in front of Peter.
After picking up the sausage, the stray dogs barked at Peter a few times, wagged their tails, and ran off in a flash.
Peter was speechless as he watched the stray dog snatch away his bait.
He checked the news online before he came.
It seems that pets have been mysteriously disappearing from the neighborhood frequently lately.
There were many lost pet notices posted on nearby utility poles.
As the stray dog with the sausage disappeared into the dark tunnel, Peter squinted and looked deeper into the tunnel.
A pair of eyes, glowing red, flashed by in the darkness.
Peter took a few steps forward.
But those eyes disappeared very quickly.
next second!
A lizardman with green skin and wearing tattered clothes suddenly appeared from the darkness and pounced on Peter.
Given that Peter was well-prepared, the lizardmen's attacks naturally missed.
"Oh!"
The Queen leaped up and charged at the lizardman as he pounced in mid-air.
The queen, whose entire body was a "deadly weapon," pounced on the lizardman, then bared her fangs and bit at his neck.
The lizardman dodged the queen's attack, but his shoulder was still pierced and bled.
The lizardman roared, baring his fangs, and lunged at the queen.
The two creatures quickly became entangled in combat.
However, the lizardmen are no match for the Queen in terms of strength and speed.
As the lizardmen were being suppressed by the queen and were in grave danger, countless eyes glowing red appeared in the tunnel.
"One, two, three, four, including this one, there are five in total."
As the menacing lizardman, reeking of a foul stench, approached, Peter recalled information about lizardmen in his mind.
In the Marvel universe, the Lizard Man generally refers to Kurt Connors.
The other party was originally a military doctor who lost his right hand in an accident. In order to restore his lost arm, he began to study the regeneration system of reptiles and how to transfer the genetic characteristics of lizard tail regeneration to humans.
Later, the other party successfully developed a plasma extracted from reptile DNA.
However, without undergoing human testing, he injected blood plasma into his own body, eventually transforming into a human with a reptilian appearance.
