A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Gwen smiled slightly. To be honest, she had wanted to tell Dr. Connors about the changes in her life more than once, but after learning about the existence of that certain Homeland Security Bureau, she gave up the idea and could only hope that his research would succeed as soon as possible.

Today, it has finally been a real success, and Gwen is genuinely happy for Dr. Connors.

“Gwen, please inform the intern that they don’t need to come in for the next week. I need to focus my energy on research,” Connors said.

“Yes, Doctor.” Gwen nodded.

"Go back, I need to be alone." Connors rubbed his face, still recovering from the joy. His long-cherished wish had finally made progress today.

Chapter 192 I want to create a flawless, perfect world...

In a villa in New Jersey.

"La la la~ la la la..."

Gwen hummed an unknown tune, leaning against the headboard reading a book, her feet, encased in black stockings, crossed and swaying.

Her long, slender legs were hidden under the covers, refusing the burning gaze of a certain lecherous man.

Cao, a certain lecherous wolf, returns: ?(ˉ??ˉ?)

"Hmph!" Gwen snorted when she saw this, and immediately pulled her feet back into the blanket. Cao Gui missed his target and only managed to grab Gwen, who was wearing an office lady uniform.

"What are you doing?" Gwen put away her book, propped up Cao Gui's face as he leaned in, and said irritably, "You're disturbing my reading again."

Cao Gui rolled his eyes. Would anyone wear an office lady uniform and read a book in their own bedroom bed?

Isn't this a blatant test of my will?

"Hey, honey, I just bought a lighter. It cost a hundred dollars." Cao Gui pulled a gold lighter out of his pocket and placed it in front of Gwen.

"What? It's so expensive?"

Gwen's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock. It had nothing to do with how much money it cost; it was simply not worth it. This lighter wasn't worth a hundred dollars at all.

“There are advantages to being expensive.” Cao Gui shook his head: “The shopkeeper said that no matter how you blow on this lighter, it can’t be blown out.”

"Really?" Gwen looked at Cao Gui with suspicion. Why did she seem a little skeptical?

"Shall we give it a try?"

With a snap, Cao Gui pulled the trigger, and a cluster of flames rose up.

Seeing this, Gwen pursed her lips and gently inhaled, just as she was about to blow it out, a mouth blocked her mouth.

mua~!

"Hahaha."

“You just want to kiss me,” Gwen snorted.

"Then let's try again. I promise I won't kiss you again," Cao Gui said seriously, his eyes filled with pure innocence.

"Hmm... okay, let's try again then."

chah~

Flames ignited.

mua~!

Gwen stretched out her arms and hugged Cao Gui's neck, preventing him from leaving.

"Wait, the lighter isn't out yet... um..."

……

Half an hour later, Cao Gui lay on his back gazing at the sky, his eyes unfocused and dreamy. He felt that all the noise of the world had disappeared at this moment, and life was so wonderful.

However, Gwen's physical strength has been getting better and better since she mutated.

"Cao, I won't be going to Osborne for the next few days. I'll stay home with you," Gwen said, lying on Cao Gui's chest and tracing the lines of his muscles.

"Hmm, okay...hmm?"

Cao Gui said weakly, but suddenly his spirits lifted, the negative effects disappeared instantly, and he sat up in bed.

"Hey~ what's wrong?" Gwen patted Cao Gui on the shoulder: "You're so jumpy."

"What happened in Osborne?" Cao Gui asked suspiciously, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"It's nothing," Gwen said.

"Dr. Connors' research has made significant progress, and he hasn't had the energy to mentor interns lately, so he gave us a week off."

"What did you say?" Cao Gui's gaze sharpened, and he immediately asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

How could Dr. Connors have made such a significant breakthrough... Could it be that Peter Parker, that jinx, went to see him?

“Dr. Connors received a package two days ago containing a document, and then the most important decay rate formula was derived,” Gwen said.

"The day before yesterday, he and I successfully established a data model, which should now be ready for in vivo experiments."

Cao Gui's face immediately darkened. He had visited Peter Parker a while ago; the kid was deeply in love with the chubby black guy, and was also secretly pursuing a girl. He wasn't lacking in love at all, and was carefree all day long, with no intention of caring about his deadbeat father.

Someone is deliberately pushing this forward!

“Gwen, tell me again about Dr. Connors’ research progress,” Cao Gui said.

“Okay, so it’s like this… then like that… and finally like this… Damn, is there something wrong with this?” Gwen asked, puzzled.

“Dr. Connors’ research had made no progress for fourteen years, but then he succeeded after receiving a document from an unknown source. Don’t you think that’s a bit of a coincidence?” Cao Gui said.

“This…” Gwen frowned slightly: “But there’s no harm in this. What is the purpose of the person behind this?”

"I am not sure as well."

Cao Gui shook his head. He had seen Norman Osborn in this world before, the old Green Goblin, not the patient who could only lie helplessly in a hospital bed waiting to die. Besides, even if Dr. Connors became Dr. Lizard, what good would that do for the person in the shadows?

Could there be another time traveler in this world?

A series of questions arose in Cao Gui's mind, but no matter what, Cao Gui had to stop this!

"Gwen, make a call to Dr. Connors. I have something I'd like to discuss with him." Cao Gui got out of bed and quickly dressed.

"Huh? Oh, okay, I'll call right away."

Seeing Cao Gui so alarmed, Gwen didn't hesitate and immediately dialed Dr. Connors's number.

But the phone went dead; it connected, but no one answered. At that moment, Gwen felt a sense of foreboding.

"I'm going to find Harry. You stay home and rest."

Cao Gui left a message and quickly departed. He wanted to find out if Osborn had a genetic disease, but so much time had passed that the appearance of Dr. Lizard was inevitable.

……

Three hours ago.

In Dr. Connors' lab, Connors and a dark-skinned Asian man are looking at a small white mouse in a cage.

"Freddy's arm has grown back, and there don't seem to be any aftereffects," the dark-skinned Asian man said, tapping on the cage and pointing at the little mouse.

“Yes, Proto, I used lizard DNA to help Freddy regenerate its leg.” Connors nodded.

“It really is a miracle.” The dark-skinned Asian man named Proto nodded, full of admiration.

"It's not a miracle, it's just science," Dr. Connors said with a smile.

"The live mammal experiments have been successful. Next, I plan to conduct live primate experiments. I need funding for the experiments. This research will be successful soon, in another year or two."

“I’m afraid that won’t work, Connors.” Proto shook his head.

“Our chairman, Norman Osborn, doesn’t have that much time. You must start clinical human trials as soon as possible.”

"Are you kidding me?" Connors said in a deep voice.

“You should know that scientific research takes a long time and cannot be rushed. You want me to conduct human experiments now? Where am I supposed to find volunteers? Norman?”

"There are plenty of people in this world, aren't there?" Proto said nonchalantly, picking up the bluish-gray experimental solution from the refrigerator and staring at it.

"Why not just call this a simple flu vaccine? It's just one human life, who cares?"

“I think a veterans’ hospital is a good option. After all, they kill innocent people all over the world. Even if something goes wrong, they deserve to die.”

"no!"

“Proto, you are a scientist too, you should know that human experiments cannot be conducted at this stage!”

Anger flashed across Connors' face. Before becoming a scientist, he was a military doctor. He lost his arm on the battlefield. To ask him to experiment on soldiers was simply provoking his bottom line!

“Then let’s find someone else. New York isn’t short of people,” Proto said slowly.

"In short, you must begin human trials as soon as possible. Mr. Norman asked me to tell you that his condition has begun to flare up, and he doesn't have much time left."

"Or... you can move out of your office, and as for human experimentation, we'll find another scientist."

After saying that, Proto turned and left. He wasn't there to discuss things; he was there to deliver a message.

Clang!

Watching Proto's departing figure, Connors could no longer contain his anger. He suddenly kicked the table, sending it flying and crashing to the ground, scattering everything on it.

"Damn Richard Parker!"

The three of them were working on this research project together: Curtina Connors was hoping the project would restore her missing arm, and Norman Osborn was hoping it would cure his and his son's genetic disease.

But Richard Parker, who was perfectly healthy, ruined it all!

Connors took a deep breath and slowly calmed his anger. As a scientist, he had to keep a calm mind at all times.

"I am a scientist, and I want to create a flawless, perfect world..." Connors murmured, "If I cannot succeed, I am willing to die on this path..."

As he spoke, his gaze gradually hardened, and he bent down to pick up the bluish-gray experimental fluid that had fallen earlier.

"Harry, are you home?"

"No, I'm at the Osborne Building."
