The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 138 R Bat Event ([-])

Everyone behind the line of defense saw that the figure, which seemed a little small under the overwhelming bat swarm, directly stuck two spider threads to the two nearby buildings.

There was no one in those two buildings anymore, and the buildings were already crumbling from the previous night's battle. This time, the two spider webs shot out by Spider-Man were black, and there was a large web at the top, which directly stuck to the entire building. most of the surface area.

Immediately afterwards, Spider-Man exerted force with his arms and retracted them inwardly. The two buildings made a tooth-piercing squeeze and began to gradually tilt.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, two huge buildings collapsed, and violent smoke and dust rose up. The first batch of bats who rushed towards the defense line did not expect this situation at all, and were buried under the tall buildings on the spot. .

Everyone present was stunned.

Those are two buildings tens of meters high!

Previously on the battlefield, Peter played more of a supporting role with full agility. Whenever there was an emergency, he would arrive as soon as possible, either to repair the fortifications, or to escort the wounded, and played a more important role. Most of them are auxiliary.

This was the first time that everyone realized how powerful Spider-Man really is. Stark's mech mask opened, and he stared straight at Peter, noticing that he showed no sign of fatigue at all.

When the building collapsed, Peter quickly dodged it, then grabbed a truck next to him and threw it at the fish that slipped through the net. The giant truck with tires as tall as a person was no different from a small stone in his hand.

Stark swallowed, and Steve said, "Can your mecha do it with all its strength?"

Stark hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's possible, but you can't use this method of exerting force. You must find a support point, which is unscientific..."

"His upper limit should be more than that." Steve folded his arms and watched Spider-Man slaughter in the middle of the battlefield.

Also as a physical mutation, Steve understands this very well. He said: "Peter's power is still far away from being fully developed. His upper limit must be terrifyingly high."

Stark frowned, and said anxiously: "I feel a little stressed now. If it's what you said, then his spider sense may really achieve the predicted effect."

"I'm talking about the future." Steve looked at Stark and said: "At least until now, Peter is still in the adaptation period, and the power brought to him by this mutation is far from reaching its peak. , and the same."

"To be honest, I think it's a bit weird. Peter told me before that his spider sense rarely forms a concrete picture, especially if it lasts for such a long time, from when you pop out of the mech and fall, And then fell to the ground, which is too specific."

"Does Spider Sensing still have any split shots? First, you need to shoot the environment you are in, then you need to shoot the action of you ejecting the mecha and falling, and finally you need to shoot the result of landing. Even if it is a prophecy, it is not so clear. Clearly?"

"When you say that, I also think it's a bit wrong." Stark said without doubt: "Peter has never mentioned before that he still has the ability to predict the future, especially so clearly and accurately."

"Maybe he can do it in the future." Steve concluded, "But at present, it seems that the spider sensing ability that matches his current strength should not have such a clear prediction."

"In any case, I still have to be prepared. After all, if this is true, things will become very difficult."

Spider-Man blocked the first wave of the heaviest attack, which gave the rear line of defense a chance to breathe.

When the second wave of bats came again, the bats also learned to be smart. Instead of rushing down from mid-air, part of them turned into human forms, and cooperated with the ground attack to weaken the anti-air firepower of humans.

After a day of preparations, the firepower of humans has been greatly improved. Due to some operations by Pierce and Nick, all the troops participating in the defense have been supplemented with sufficient heavy firepower. In this case, the advantages of human weapons are reflected. .

Most human heavy weapons will cause high temperature and explosion, which is exactly what vampires are most afraid of, and besides the target that needs to be hit precisely, the splash damage is also high.

In some of the more important defensive locations, oil barrels that can be detonated by snipers are set up. If necessary, the explosion and flames of the oil barrels can be used to interrupt the attacking rhythm of the bats.

At the beginning, the entire defense rhythm was very good, with various weapons alternately covering, and the defense line advancing layer by layer. After a while, the counterattack even reached the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge.

But soon, many problems began to emerge. For example, humans underestimated the fearless aura of this group of bats, or, in other words, this group of bats was controlled by something and turned into crazy cannon fodder.

Hawkeye just blew up an oil drum, and the explosion seriously injured one bat and caught another in flames, but instead of retreating, the bat that was on fire rushed into the nearest one with flames all over it. machine gun base.

Despite the machine gunner's preparedness, one person was caught in the flames, and if his companions did not extinguish them in time, he might have died.

However, the burn also prevented him from continuing to fight, and he was quickly picked up by a hexagonal nut robot.

This group of crazy bats didn't want to die at all. They would rather injure eight hundred enemies and one thousand themselves, and continue to attack.

Hawkeye lowered his bow, cursed secretly, and then said to Natasha on the intercom: "What's going on? These bats are crazier than last night!"

"It's very likely that their legendary bat god controlled them with some kind of power." Natasha's tone was as calm as ever. "But Nick told me that maybe there will be a turnaround soon."

As the battle became more and more fierce, the advantages of human beings gradually faded, and the two sides began a stalemate like a meat grinder.

Stark was repelling the attack of a crazy bat with one shot, and then the steel mecha rose into the air, and a few shots drove back the bat that was about to hit the position. At this time, Jarvis's voice came from his cheek: " Communication from the Stark Tower Laboratory, the correspondent is Dr. Connors.

"Connect to the communication." Stark said floating in the air.

Dr. Connors' voice came from the earphones. He spoke quickly and calmly. Connors said: "Listen, first of all, regardless of the principle, I have created a potion. If released properly, Can disable all bats on the battlefield at once."

"Speak directly, how to do it." Stark said simply.

"I told Nick before that I have a better way to solve the problem at the root, and now I have succeeded, only the last step."

"In general, using the lizard serum I extracted, that is, the components of the serum that can turn me into a lizard monster, I made them into an infectious mutant serum to infect those bats .”

"Once bats are infected, they will start to lizard-like. Unlike humans, bats cannot turn into lizardmen, they will only become lizard-like, such as growing thick scales all over their bodies, growing tails and legs, and losing the ability to fly."

"I changed the ingredients to make the mutation more uncontrollable, so they might grow a tail on their chest, or be crushed to death by thick scales."

"This mutation is completely uncontrollable, so as long as it is infected, the alienated bat will almost completely lose its fighting ability."

"But wouldn't that infect humans?" Stark asked.

"Of course not. Otherwise, why did I bring so many bats here for research? This is a targeted infection serum, which is completely ineffective against humans. I have tested it."

"Okay, so what else do you need?"

"In order to eliminate the combat power of all bats at once, I need a spray generator with sufficient power. It is best to spray this mutated serum in an instant, covering the entire battlefield, and infecting all bats. Magic means to counter it."

Stark thought for a while, looking at the increasingly tragic battle situation on the ground, he said: "Then do this, I remember I still have an ultraviolet generator, can you see if that can be used?"

"I have read the design drawings of all your generating devices. According to estimates, their power is not enough. Light and gas are different. Gas needs a huge driving force to quickly cover the entire battlefield."

"Then hurry up and renovate, I have opened up all the laboratory permissions to you"

"Ethan and I have already made a version, but the final adjustment is still missing, and we will enter the venue within half an hour. The issues you need to consider now are where to erect it and how to detonate it."

Connors said quickly: "In theory, its spray range will be a sphere with a diameter of about 300 meters. In order to maximize the use of this range, the installation location of the generating device must not be on the ground. Find a high-rise building within the nearest range of the district, and once you choose a location, we will transport the generating device there immediately."

"In fact, there's only one tall building in the whole area," Stark said.

He looked up and saw the Brooklyn Heights Building on the east side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Stark seemed to have a feeling, and Connors heard the silence on the other end of the communication, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

After a while, Stark's voice came: "No... nothing, there is only one building that meets the conditions you mentioned. Once the device is adjusted, it will be transported to the roof of the Brooklyn Heights building immediately, Jarvis The exact location has been sent, and I'll be waiting for you there."

Conners heard an inexplicable emotion from the end of his voice, but he didn't have time to continue the small talk and hung up the phone quickly.

On the other side, Peter flew to Stark with a spider web, and said, "The situation on the front line is very bad. Where is the turning point that Natasha said? Do you know, Mr. Stark?"

"Never mind this." Stark's voice came from the mecha, with a trace of electrical distortion, Stark continued: "Tell Steve, let him lead a team to take the All the vampires are cleaned up, and I'm going up there."

"Highland Building?" Peter looked back and found that it was the tallest building nearby. He said, "No! Wait! You can't go!! You forgot you forgot mine..."

"I haven't forgotten, Peter, I remember it very clearly, but I have to go." Iron Man wearing a mecha flew over there directly, and Peter chased after him and shouted: "No!!! You Knowing you'd die if you did that! My God..."

Peter took out the walkie-talkie and said to Steve: "Stop Stark! He's crazy! He's going to the Highland Building!"

"Peter, protect Stark." Steve's voice came from the intercom, apparently he also received the communication from Connors, he said: "There are some things that even if you know there will be no good results It has to be done."

Peter was going crazy. Having seen the scene with his own eyes, he couldn't accept that this happened anyway. He said to Stark: "You don't have to go up, I can go up alone. What's the matter with me? Can't figure it out? I..."

"It takes time for the generator to activate, and it takes time for the infection to take effect." Stark's voice was very calm, he said: "One person cannot defend against the attack of bats at the same time, and then activate the generator, and the evacuation also requires a person to respond. Absolutely not done."

"Then we can think of other ways, we don't have to..."

"Peter, I told you..." Stark stopped, his visor went up, Peter saw Stark's face, he didn't see any panic or fear on it, he looked more Usually calmer.

"If I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I should be hiding in the layers of protection of Stark Tower now, instead of coming here to fight."

"I know better than anyone that if I must die, no advanced mecha can protect me. I don't get any sense of security from this mecha. I face death every moment."

In the dark night sky, Peter hung on the wall of a building, looking at Stark floating opposite him.

The hair under Stark's mask was blown by the wind, and those eyes seemed to absorb all the light around him, reminding Peter of the sunrise he and Stark saw together at first.

"Even without your prophecies, I spend every minute of my life on the battlefield worrying."

"Advanced mechas, more advanced mechas, I will continue to develop all kinds of mechas, the reason is the fear of death."

"What I didn't tell you is that that night in the Afghan cave, in addition to the pain, there was endless fear. No one is not afraid of death."

Peter heard Stark's voice begin to tinge with pain, as if recalling things he didn't want to.

"At that time, I knew that I was going to die, and no one could tell me whether I could live or not..."

"Just like today, I know I'm going to die..."

Stark closed his eyes, his voice began to tremble a little, gradually being blown away in the cold wind of Brooklyn night,

"I may be crazy. I know that there is a dead end ahead, but there are still voices urging me to do this. I have to do this..."

"That's all I can do."
