I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 806 Thunderbolt Never Shuts Up

Peter strongly suspected that Reed Richards hadn't actually installed any speed limiter on the car. This Ferrari supercar, which he didn't even recognize, was undoubtedly sprinting at an unprecedented and uncontrollable speed, and the powerful push-back feeling made the passengers feel a little uncomfortable.

But at least the car was very fast, heading south to New Jersey. In the northwestern part of the state, near the Appalachian Mountains, on a secluded and quiet highland, the Avengers' new base was built, a large area surrounded by what looked like very advanced high-tech walls.

"I still don't understand why they didn't build a new skyscraper in New York. Peter Stark isn't short of money, and it wouldn't be a problem to demolish the old Avengers Tower and build a new one. Why did they have to come here and build this... big and short place? At first, I thought it was some kind of summer camp or golf course."

Peter didn't know what to say, so he gave a fairly standard answer: "I guess it's to prevent the Avengers from destroying the city when they are attacked. After all, you know, the Avengers have a lot of enemies, and people often come to smash, loot, and burn things."

"Oh right, didn't a few demolition crews come and vandalize Avengers Tower last time?"

Mary Jane, who was trying to calm her motion sickness, decided to join the conversation to distract herself: "They're not a demolition crew, they're called a sabotage squad, although they do look like one. The major media outlets don't know much about the details of this attack, they only know that Spider-Man and Iron Man stopped them, and we don't even know where they were taken."

The Human Torch looked around, whistled at a beautiful woman driving a convertible, and then casually remarked, "Oh, this one? Wasn't he taken to Cube Prison by Thaddeus Ross?"

Mary Jane heard an unfamiliar name: "Cube Prison?"

"Wasn't it called Cube Prison, Peter?"

"...Cube Gamma Research Center, why are you talking about this? Isn't this a military secret?"

"Come on, basically everyone in the superhero community knows this, so what's the point of military secrets? Isn't it just that gamma research facility used to make gamma bombs and create the Hulk? It was converted into a prison and base to hold those gamma monsters. Aren't they still researching that... gamma-modified super soldier stuff?"

In that instant, Mary Jane felt her motion sickness miraculously disappear. She took out her notebook from her bag, lifted her feet to take off her shoes, and sat down with her knees tucked in so that she could put the notebook on her lap to take notes.

Peter paused for a moment, then glanced back at Mary Jane before continuing, "Didn't we figure that out a long time ago, Abomination?"

"Oh right, Abomination, what was that guy's name again... Bronsky? Hey, speaking of which, hasn't the government never officially announced where Abomination came from? I remember he was in the Hulk Capture Team, right?"

After finishing speaking, the Human Torch was silent for a while, seemingly realizing something and falling silent, until suddenly, he exclaimed "Oh!" happily, and then laughed: "Yes, he's not a gamma soldier that Ross researched. He was created by someone who claimed to be able to eliminate the Hulk using Bruce Banner's blood. So Ross has always planned to create a second Abomination. Benjamin told me about this."

Peter, pretending to know nothing, continued, "Is there someone who can create abominations on their own?"

"Who says otherwise? Strange people and events happen everywhere. But this person seems to have disappeared after that. Theoretically, he should have been arrested by the Pentagon, but he wasn't on the list when they transferred supervillains to Raft Prison." "Maybe it's a good thing. If he had escaped during the Raft Prison breakout, it could have been troublesome. Can you imagine a street full of Hulks?"

"I think the Hulks on the street are much gentler than a fully armed Hulk singing 'Warrior Song'."

The two chatted casually, while Mary Jane's pen barely stopped moving; she was experiencing for the first time what it meant to be bombarded with information. Peter, on the other hand, mostly acted as a questioner, guiding the Human Torch to reveal everything. As the Avengers base gradually came into view, Peter finally started discussing the matter with Johnny.

"You know that many people don't know about the things we're talking about, and you have an intern reporter in your car, right?"

Johnny heard this, glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Mary Jane writing furiously. He then pulled his hand back to the steering wheel, placed the other hand on Peter's shoulder, and pressed it down hard twice.

This left Peter somewhat confused.

"Well, I don't care. At worst, we can have the Pentagon contact Reed. As long as this girl doesn't write about you, it's fine. You probably can't handle these things, right? We're almost there."

Johnny patted Peter on the shoulder after speaking, then turned his hand back. Mary Jane, having finished taking notes, looked up out the window. She saw a wall that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see in the distance, gaining a rough idea of ​​what "big and short" meant. Looking through the wall, the tallest building appeared to be no more than 50 meters high, but the entire site's area was shockingly large. Compared to places like New York, it was indeed both big and short.

However, the area is indeed extremely large.

How big is this place?

“I don’t know,” Johnny said casually. Peter wasn’t quite sure either; he hadn’t asked Tony, but he knew the place was very big.

After the car arrived at the base entrance, Jarvis followed the pre-set procedure, only verifying the Human Torch's identity before letting them in. Then, Johnny drove directly to the entrance of the activity center: "Alright, you two go in. I'm going to find some other people to play with. Hmm... I'd really like Hulk or Thor to be here."

Peter got out of the car first, then opened the door for Mary Jane. After getting out, Mary Jane watched nervously as Johnny drove away before turning to Peter: "You never said that the Human Torch was your friend."

"Actually, given Johnny's personality, I think there's practically no one who isn't his friend, well, except for women."

Peter turned to the Avengers base activity center, which he wasn't very familiar with either: "Let's go, if nothing unexpected happens, Tony Stark is in here."
