I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

Moreover, he was only a few hundred thousand short of reaching the ten million desire value.

Tonight, I dealt with the lizardmen and gained over 100 million desire points.

I thought the desire value would be the hardest to obtain, but it came so easily.

Is this the system's way of urging me to grow quickly because it's worried I might die young in the Marvel universe?

"Don't worry, I've already prepared several sets of clothes to be custom-made."

Gwen leaned close to Hao Longtao's ear and whispered softly.

The warm breath blew in, instantly boosting Hao Longtao's spirits.

Fortunately, he did not agree to Natasha's request.

Who can resist Spider-Gwen in her uniform?

Inside a mysterious base in New York.

"This is Dr. Connor?"

Nick Fury gazed at the lizardmen inside the iceberg, feeling the icy atmosphere.

"Such a powerful mutant was easily frozen by the Ice Demon."

Natasha walked up to Nick Fury and exclaimed in admiration.

"Approaching the Ice Demon, can we capture him?"

"Nick Fury asked."

Natasha shook her head:

"It's difficult. He has the ability to vaporize, so physical damage is useless against the Ice Demon. At the same time, he can easily escape through vaporization."

Reason told her that it would be difficult to capture Hao Longtao because he had a very special form.

It was as if no harm could affect him.

"I'm going to try to unseal the lizardman; I need to inject him with the restoration serum."

Nick Fury looked at the lizard man before him, as if he were seeing an experimental subject.

"Restoration serum?" Natasha looked at Director Nick curiously.

"This is a special serum developed by the military to deal with mutants. It can correct their X gene and turn them into ordinary people."

Nick Fury exclaimed in admiration.

Mutants pose a huge threat to humanity.

The number of people killed by the disasters caused by mutants has been increasing every year.

The government simply suppressed the news and did not make it public.

Magneto, in particular, is a truly terrifying mutant.

The ability to control magnetic fields and metals renders over 90% of weapons manufactured with current technology ineffective.

"You want to use the Restoration Serum to deal with the Ice Demon?"

Natasha suddenly understood.

"I've already tested it; the reduction serum had no effect on the soldier injected with the super serum. But whether it will work on mutants or superhumans remains to be seen."

Chapter Forty: The Cunning Dr. Lizard Escapes

Nick Fury knew very well that Hao Longtao, the "Ice Demon" from China, was an extremely dangerous person.

Superpowers similar to Hao Longtao's do exist.

Iceman, an X-Men member, possesses powerful abilities.

However, the ideas he expressed were not as extreme as Hao Longtao's.

The four-figure ice sculpture in Hell's Kitchen is still incredibly lifelike.

Kingpin, the American underworld tycoon, was found dead in a gruesome state.

The lizardman before them was a terrifying monster with regenerative abilities comparable to Wolverine, yet he was easily frozen in the face of this ice demon.

Nick Fury could see the limits of Iceman's abilities and was able to devise ways to deal with this mutant.

But the Ice Demon's abilities, seemingly a casual rampage, actually conveyed a suffocating sense of despair that Nick Fury found suffocating.

“Natasha, you should understand that the Ice Demon has a capricious personality. Coupled with the fact that he lost both his parents when he was young and lived in Hell’s Kitchen for two years, we still haven’t figured out how deep the darkness in his heart really is.”

Nick Fury said in a deep voice.

“I know how dangerous the Ice Demon is. But how do you plan to deal with this lizardman? If the restoration serum doesn’t work on him, he will be a deadly threat to all the staff at our base once he’s unfrozen.” Natasha said, pointing to the lizardman who was being unfrozen. “He’s also very dangerous. He’s obsessed with spreading the lizard serum throughout New York and seems to want to create a community unique to lizards.”

Natasha could imagine that if Dr. Connor's lizard man plan succeeded, she, living in New York, would also become a cold-blooded lizard man.

New York is a metropolis; if tens of millions of its inhabitants were to turn into reptilian people, it would be a world-shaking event.

Nick Fury smiled slightly:

“I found the serum that can undo the lizard's genetic modification in Osborn. Even if the mutant restoration serum fails, I have a complete backup plan.”

The lizardman's eyes twitched slightly after being unfrozen, but quickly returned to their frozen state.

When Hao Longtao was freezing the lizardmen, he paid special attention to damaging their cytoplasm.

The lizardmen were simply surrounded by ice.

However, the freezing power did not penetrate his body and destroy all his lizard regeneration cells.

The frozen and damaged cells begin to frantically replace the dead cells under the lizard's regenerative cells.

"Prepare to restore the serum."

The base's experimental personnel began directing the operation, intending to use a metal syringe to pierce the thin layer of ice and inject the lizard man with mutant reduction serum.

Just now.

The thin layer of ice trapping the lizardmen began to crack.

The next second, the lizardman's body grew exponentially.

Sharp claws pierced through the researcher's body.

He used a human body as a shield and lunged at Nick Fury.

"Be careful."

Natasha tackles Nick Fury.

The lizardmen fled the laboratory quickly amidst gunfire.

The corpse he left behind was covered in restorative serum and lizard cell detoxification serum.

The screams kept coming.

Accompanied by the sounds of gunfire.

The gunfire eventually ceased.

Nick Fury stood up, and Natasha had already caught up with him.

Unfortunately, seeing the base's sealed steel gate twisted and lying on the ground after the impact, and looking at the dark suburbs, Natasha stopped in her tracks.

With a slight sigh, I realized that the monster would indeed escape if I wasn't careful.

The threat posed by these lizardmen has escalated once again.

His intelligence and composure during his escape were frightening.

Clearly, Dr. Connor's intelligence was not diminished in his lizard-man form; on the contrary, he became more cruel and cold-blooded due to the effects of the lizard genetic modification.

Nick Fury arrived.

"Dr. Connor has escaped."

Nick Fury was so angry he wanted to curse.

但他压制『若水飞卢群』-9七5六2^.^八8四1了怒火。

This was caused by his contempt for the lizardmen.

Clearly, he underestimated the abilities of the lizardmen.

"Sir, Dr. Connor must have a secret laboratory, otherwise he couldn't have created so many lizard gene-modifying potions to carry on his body to experiment with his terrible plans. Now that he has escaped, our most important task is to find his secret laboratory and destroy it. Otherwise, he will continue to use the lizard gene-modifying potions to mass-produce lizard monsters."

Natasha, on the contrary, became the calmest person.

In fact, she had already sent agents to find Dr. Connor's laboratory.

However, no secret laboratory could be found in the environment surrounding Dr. Connor's life.

She originally had plenty of time to expand the scope of the search.

But now that Dr. Connor has escaped, he will surely do everything in his power to expand his advantage.

Besides being a lizard monster with terrifying regenerative abilities and immense strength.

What's most terrifying about Dr. Connor is his knowledge in his field of research; he can create a large number of lizard monsters at any time using lizard gene-modification potions.

Lizards are cold-blooded animals.

Their blood is cold.

It grows larger, gains intelligence, and develops an independent and ruthless personality.

It would be a disaster if they were to organize and retaliate against the entire city of New York.

What's even more terrifying is that Dr. Connor's ideas are frightening.

Lizardman Kingdom?

Natasha couldn't imagine who could stop him if he actually succeeded.

"You seek help from the Ice Demon, and I will find Tony and use Tony's wisdom to pinpoint Dr. Connor's location."

Nick Fury calmed down.

He thought of Tony Stark.

Now, it's time to let him know about the dark side of this world.

He believed that Tony would definitely help him.

After all, Stark Industries was about to relocate to New York.

He has abandoned the company's headquarters in Los Angeles.

Tony didn't want to become a lizard man either.

Although Natasha wouldn't admit it, she was very reluctant to find the Ice Demon again, but she still needed Hao Longtao's help to deal with the Lizardmen.

“The Ice Demon may not agree to help me again. The best way is to transfer Agent Barton to New York. With his archery skills and the serum, we also have a backup plan to deal with Dr. Connor.”

Natasha had one more thing she didn't say.

She worried that Dr. Connor might go into hiding and further improve the lizard gene potion, at which point the serum might not be effective for him.

Hao Longtao was awakened from his sleep by a phone call.

Gwen has gone back to her neighbor's house to sleep.

Looking at the caller ID in the middle of the night.

Hao Longtao, who was in a daze, suddenly came to his senses.

"Natasha, you're calling me in the middle of the night? Did you let that lizard monster escape?"

Hao Longtao said calmly.

On the other end of the phone, Natasha said helplessly:

"You didn't warn us that lifting the ice would awaken the lizard monster."

Hao Longtao was slightly taken aback.

Clearly, he underestimated Dr. Connor's regenerative abilities.

He did indeed do this to keep Dr. Connor alive, and did not completely freeze the lizardman's body.

"Is this considered the second transaction?"
