A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Have you been feeling unwell lately... or anything?" Cao Gui asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Huh? Dude, when did you become so concerned about me?"

Harry was quite surprised. "You, who only insults and tricks me, actually care about me? Is the sun going to rise in the west tomorrow?"

"Stop fooling around, tell the truth, it's very important."

"No, I'm in great shape. I even ate a huge piece of Wagyu beef steak in one go a few days ago."

"Aren't you tired of it...?"

Cao Gui said disdainfully, "Steak is delicious at first bite, refreshing at second bite, but becomes greasy after third bite. It's not as good as stir-fried beef."

So there's only one steak in a Western meal, but some people can't finish it. The reason is simple: it's too greasy!

"Hehe, it's alright."

"You... damn it, you've steered the conversation off-topic." Cao Gui quickly hung up the phone and dialed Norman Osborn's number.

"Mr. Norman, Harry has been..." Cao Gui thought for a moment, then decided to rephrase his question:

"Harry's hands have been trembling lately. Is he sick?"

"What did you say? His hands are already shaking?" Norman Osborn exclaimed on the other end of the phone.

Cao Gui's lips twitched. There was no need to ask anymore; it was already certain that the Osborn family had a hereditary disease, and Dr. Connors had been replaced by Dr. Lizard!

"Emma, ​​is Dr. Connors at the company?"

Cao Gui used his mobile phone to contact the artificial intelligence in the Osborne Building. After the incident involving Menken Balkan a few days ago, Old Green Goblin directly granted Cao Gui authority second only to the chairman himself.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Cao Gui is now Osborne's number two. Of course, this claim only exists on Osborne's website, and Norman Osborne can revoke this authority at any time.

"Sir, yes, Dr. Connors is still in the company's laboratory."

"understood!"

With a turn of the steering wheel, Cao Gui drove towards the Osborn Group. He wanted to control Dr. Lizard before he appeared, or at least minimize the damage.

However, Cao Gui arrived too late.

……

Dr. Connors staggered out of the Osborne Building, his face pale, and a brand new hand appeared in his previously empty right sleeve.

However, this arm was a size larger than his left hand, smooth and rounded, slightly transparent and pale, with some transparent mucus dripping on it. In short, it did not look like a human arm.

Dr. Connors opened the door of a taxi and got in.

"I need to get to Holden Street across the East River, and I'm in a rush!"

Dr. Connors said breathlessly that as a disabled person, he did not have a driver's license and could only get to and from get off work either by his wife driving him or by taking a taxi.

"Okay, sir, would you like to go over the bridge or through the tunnel?" the taxi driver asked, as both required tolls, so he had to ask.

"Bridge, let's cross the bridge!" Dr. Connors said, forcing himself to endure the physical discomfort.

Proto ignored his advice and insisted on conducting human experiments at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Brooklyn. Connors is now going to stop him because an accident has occurred and no more human experiments can be conducted!

“Okay, then we’ll take the bridge.” The taxi driver nodded and was about to start the car.

However, Dr. Connors suddenly cried out in pain, and green scales began to appear on his once smooth and rounded right arm, while his fingernails also began to become sharp and long.

Hearing his cry of pain, the taxi driver asked in confusion, "Sir, are you alright? Should we call an ambulance?"

The back seat was dark, and he didn't see anything unusual about Dr. Connors in the rearview mirror.

"drive!"

Dr. Connors suddenly let out a low growl, and a faint yellow tinge began to appear in his pale blue irises. His pupils changed from normal human round pupils to vertical beastly pupils, and layers of scales spread across his face.

"Okay, sir!" The driver was startled and instinctively stepped on the gas to move forward.

……

In a villa in New Jersey.

After Cao Gui left, Gwen quickly put on her clothes. Although she didn't know what had happened, the fact that Cao Gui was so on high alert meant it was no small matter.

"That wretched guy, he never told me anything..." Gwen bit her thumb, indignant.

What should we do now?

Gwen paced anxiously. To be honest, she had noticed Cao Gui's strange behavior for a long time, but... because of her own reasons, she hadn't been honest with Cao Gui. She didn't know how to explain the changes in her body to him, nor did she have the confidence to ask him to reveal his secret. Therefore, she didn't think about delving into Cao Gui's secret.

"Buzz—Emergency! A major safety incident has occurred on the Williamsburg Bridge!"

"Help! The enemy... the enemy isn't human, it's a monster... Shit, he's coming!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"I'm near the Williamsburg Bridge, I'm coming right away!"

On the police channel, a series of sounds rang out one after another, and Gwen's heart skipped a beat. She recognized her father's voice from the series of phone calls, and the last sentence was spoken by her father.

"Damn it, they're all such a handful..." Gwen muttered angrily, quickly putting on her combat suit and shooting out a web to swing towards the Williamsburg Bridge.

At the Williamsburg Bridge pier, a yellow taxi crashed into the wall. The driver was pale and looked terrified, as if he had seen something horrible.

However, it wasn't the front of the car that was damaged; on the contrary, the rear was severely damaged, as if a bomb had exploded inside.

"God... I actually picked up a lizard man..."

For some unknown reason, there was a traffic jam on the Williamsburg Bridge, with a large number of vehicles stuck on the bridge, unable to move forward or backward.

Meanwhile, many car owners panicked and abandoned their vehicles, fleeing desperately, because a nearly three-meter-tall lizard-like figure covered in ghastly green scales was clinging to their cars, searching for them.

"Hahaha... Proto, where are you? You can't experiment on veterans... Damn bastard, I'm going to eat you right now!"

On the lizardman's hideous and terrifying face, one moment the urgency to save people flashed, the next the brutality of cannibalism. The two expressions changed constantly, making him appear extremely terrifying.

Just then, the roar of a motorcycle came from behind, and two policemen quickly weaved through the gaps between the vehicles, soon arriving behind the lizardman.

"Damn... what kind of monster is this?" One of the officers was stunned. He had never seen anything like it before and stood there dumbfounded.

"Just an ugly monster, nothing serious!" Another officer quickly drew his gun.

"As long as he is a living being, the guns in our hands are absolute weapons of mass destruction!"

He had participated in the hunt for the scientific monsters released by the Sykes Corporation; they were just ugly, like humans, and would die if shot.

Bang bang bang!

As expected of NYPD, the world record holder for the fastest magazine emptying, he emptied the magazine in the blink of an eye, and the seventeen bullets from his Glock 19 poured out, all hitting the lizardman's body.

"Ow—!"

The lizardman screamed and collapsed to the ground.

"See, I told you so. As long as it's a carbon-based life form, it can't escape the physical law that it will die from being shot," the officer said smugly.

However, the police officer who came with him did not show any joy; instead, his face was full of panic.

Pfft!

Five thick, sharp claws pierced his body, and then with a flick of his wrist, he tore the corpse hanging in the claws in two.

Boom boom boom!

A barrage of shotgun shells struck behind the lizardman, who stood with his gun at his side, staring at the towering figure.

"Get out of here... Shit!"

Before he could finish speaking, the countless bullet holes on the lizardman's body began to writhe, and lead pellets were squeezed out of his flesh. Then, all the wounds healed on their own.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?!" George Stacy's face was grim; the gun in his hand was having no effect on the thing.

Above the bridge, Gwen landed gracefully on her spiderwebs, and seeing George below, completely dismembered, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, I made it in time."

But what she didn't notice was that above her head, a spherical cloud was floating, and Cao Gui was standing on it, looking down at the Williamsburg Bridge below.

"It finally happened..."

Chapter 194 The Couple vs. Dr. Lizard

"Gurgle..."

A slender tongue darted out, gently licking his cheek. His translucent eyelids opened and closed, and Dr. Lizard became eerily calm at that moment, the two expressions that had been flickering on his face vanishing.

George's heart sank. He knew he had angered the monster before him. The calm before the storm was about to give way to a deadly attack.

"Hoohoho!"

As expected, Dr. Lizard roared repeatedly, and powerful wind pressure spewed from his mouth, causing George to stagger backward.

"Damn, what a loud breath..." George couldn't help but say, he was choked by the stench.

Click!

Dr. Lizard ripped a car door off, his thick arm whipping it around like a dart, so fast that even George, a seasoned detective, couldn't react in time.

George's face turned deathly pale instantly. His irises reflected the huge, sharp car door. Faced with this attack, he couldn't even muster the will to fight back.

Squeak~

At that moment, a white thread shot out and stuck to the dart-like car door.

"Gurgle..."

Dr. Lizard suddenly turned his head, and on the top of the bridge, Gwen, dressed in a black combat suit and wearing a black hood, held the other end of the thread.

"Here you go!"

A deep baritone voice rang out, and Gwen flicked her wrist, sending the spider silk swinging up and slamming the car door down on her head.

Clang!

However, Dr. Lizard didn't even budge. The car door was just two thin layers of scrap metal, which might be fine against ordinary people, but it was completely ineffective against a mutant like him who had been enhanced.

It wasn't entirely ineffective; at least Dr. Lizard was enraged.

"Hoohoho!"
