Chapter 100 Is this a show or a real battle royale?

"You know him?"

Gwen followed Peter's gaze and saw Tony Stark.

"No, I don't."

Peter shook his head. “But playboys like him are often in newspapers and on TV, so they are easy to recognize.”

Tony Stark had no idea that people were talking about him, and he still felt a little unhappy about coming to attend his rival's funeral.

"Spider-baby? A girl in pajamas fighting criminals, and a green 'Flying Man Keaton' flying in the sky. My god, I wouldn't be surprised if the city I live in was invaded by aliens tomorrow."

He complained to the female secretary next to him.

"Sorry, let's talk about the signature later."

As he spoke, he rejected those who came up to him and wanted to get to know him.

After Gwen became Spider-Woman, her hearing was different from that of ordinary people. At this time, listening to Tony Stark's complaints about her, her face looked very depressed.

"He's such a nasty guy."

Gwen makes her assessment of Tony Stark when they first meet.

The next day.

Presbyterian Hospital.

Peter and Gwen walked down the corridor inside.

"So, ever since you had a tumor in your body, you've gained super powers?"

Gwen asked, still in disbelief.

Although she had already heard Peter's explanation once, she still found it a little unbelievable.

"Yeah, it's just as incredible as you being bitten by a spider, Gwen."

Peter said to her with a calm expression.

He has already told Gwen that his abilities come from a "tumor" in his body.

But no deeper information about the alien was revealed.

"Well, although both of them sound incredible, your level is higher than mine."

Gwen thought for a moment and said, "But I still don't quite understand. This doesn't have much to do with spiders."

Peter casually said to her, "Why not a tumor that grew out of maybe a spider bite?"

Although Peter was just talking nonsense, Gwen obviously took it seriously.

She thought back to the night when Peter held her in his arms and she heard two hearts beating inside of him.

Maybe
It was because of the spider's heart that attracted me to fall in love with Peter.

After all, I also have a spider's heart.

Gwen was thinking wildly in her mind.

As she continued to daydream, she accompanied Peter to the door of Dr. Ryan's ward.

Although Gwen was concerned about Peter's "illness", she had no intention of prying into Peter's privacy.

So she waited outside for Peter.

When Peter pushed the door and entered the office, Dr. Ryan had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, Dr. Ryan."

"Good morning, Peter."

Ryan, who already knew about Peter's "masterpiece" on the Brooklyn Bridge, now had more complicated feelings about him.

A force so strong that it cannot be restrained.

He didn't know whether he had made the right decision to accept the patient just for the sake of money.

Calming himself down, Ryan began to examine Peter.

A few minutes later, he got Peter's chest CT scan.

“It looks like there hasn’t been any major changes compared to before.”

Dr Ryan said: "It looks like it's still in hibernation, but the top lobes seem to have changed."

"These wrinkles have been added a lot more," he said, pointing to the top of the embryo. "It's more complicated."

Peter nodded.

Is it evolution caused by absorbing genes from blood-sucking creatures?

"correct."

Dr. Ryan suddenly remembered something and said to Peter hesitantly, "Have you heard about the recent 'Bear Mountain Monster'?"

Peter put away the CT image and shook his head, "I don't know what it is."

"It is rumored that there are monsters around Bear Mountain. Some people have been found dead there. Their chests were ripped open or their necks were torn open. The way their chests were ripped open reminds me of the symbiotic creature in your chest."

As he spoke, he took out a photo and handed it to Peter.

The corpse in the photo was horrifying, with a bloody mess on the chest.

The ribs were turned outward, blood splattered on the grass, and a large cavity was left in the chest.

Peter frowned as he looked at the horrific state of the corpse in front of him.

Is this caused by the alien?
But if it was an alien, why didn't I notice it?
After Helen was infected, she could feel the presence inside her body, but she was unaware of these things.

"Any more?"

After observing the photo for a while, Peter asked, "Or can I see the body?"

"There is only this one photo. As for the body, it is not in this hospital. And I heard that the government quickly disposed of the body. You know, the government does not want the news of wild animals killing people to spread."

Despite saying this, he still told Peter the hospital where the body was.

"thank you for your information."

Peter put the photo away and thanked the other party.

"You're welcome, as long as I can help you."

After walking out of Dr. Ryan's office, Peter saw Christine chatting with Gwen.

"Hey, Peter."

Christine greeted him.

"Hello, Dr. Palmer." Peter didn't know when Gwen and the rumored girlfriend of "Doctor Strange" got to know each other.

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Peter's heart, Gwen took the initiative to explain: "I met Dr. Palmer when I was accompanying my father in the hospital, but Dr. Palmer said that he knew you earlier."

"Uh-huh, because I'm more familiar with Dr. Ryan."

As Kristen spoke, she looked at Peter in front of her with a complicated expression.

She had a lot of questions to ask, such as "Do you really have a tumor like that in your body?"

But she finally endured it.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Peter?"

Christine asked Peter the question with a smile, trying not to show anything strange about it.

"No thanks, Dr. Palmer."

Peter politely declined.

night.

Peter was in the study, browsing the news about Bear Mountain Park.

The media did report that wild animals had injured people in Xiongshan.

But the blame is simply placed on large wild animals such as bears.

Turning his chair a bit, he faced the dark night sky.

In the foggy night, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching me.

Taking out the photo of the dead man's bloody chest, Peter moved his eyes to it.

The ribs were broken and twisted outward, the muscles were torn over a large area, the pericardium was ruptured, and a large area of ​​blood splattered.

It is indeed very similar to the symptoms when an alien breaks out of the body.

Putting the photo down, his body was slowly covered with a black exoskeleton.

Under the night sky, the slender body is made more profound by the exoskeleton.

"Mount Sinai Hospital?"

His expression grew serious as he whispered the name of the hospital Ryan had told him.

"Whoosh"!
The curtains by the window shook slightly, and the next second, his body disappeared from the spot.

"Hey, sweetheart, it's me."

On the highway at night, a car is speeding along the road.

A woman driving the car was applying makeup and drawing her eyebrows while speaking to her phone on a stand: "I may not be able to get back before you wake up, so be careful when you go to the airport by yourself."

"The crew should be able to finish it before lunch. I'll try to dress up nicely and go see your mom. Please help me put in a good word, okay? Tell her I'm in a big movie and I have lines in it."

While she was drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, she said to the person on the phone: "Our love will not fail this test."

When the car was passing through the Brooklyn Bridge, it was temporarily closed and could not pass, so she had to drive around.

"I might be late. The Spider-Man and Green Monster incident on the bridge a few days ago forced the government to close the bridge for repairs in the early hours of the morning."

She complained: "Also, it's unbelievable that this damn crew made me put on makeup in the early hours of the morning and run screaming in the woods. It's really torture."

After driving for a while, she said to the other end of the phone: "Fuck, I'm almost there, I have to hang up, baby, I'll call you later."

After parking the car in the woods, the woman got out of the car and heard a voice: "Extras?"

She was startled and turned around suddenly, seeing a blond woman in a white dress with outstanding temperament standing behind her.

The blonde apologized. “Sorry, I have a bad habit of sneaking up on people, but I’m the casting director and you’re here for the show, right?”

"Oh, yes, I'm an extra, Nancy. The call said I'll be there at 12 o'clock, right?"

The woman's name was Nancy, and she was an unknown extra.

Nancy shook hands with the blonde.

The blonde nodded and replied, “Yes, but you have to leave your phone behind. We’re filming in a completely closed environment.”

Nancy said she understood. "Of course, you don't mind the coffee in my hand, do you? I need to stay awake, or I might fall asleep."

The blonde smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll keep you awake."

After Nancy separated from the blonde, she headed deeper into the woods.

At the same time, she couldn't help complaining in her heart: This damn crew actually chose such a remote state park as the location. I heard that this place is not very safe.

Deep in the woods, she saw a group of extras like herself.

There are also crew members such as cameramen and lighting technicians.

Looking at the strange environment around her, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

Suspecting that she had been cheated, she was about to ask her colleagues about it.

Unexpectedly, a guy holding a megaphone, who seemed to be a stage manager, shouted at the top of his voice: "Ackerson!"

Before she could react, she was pushed and scattered by a group of people.

"What the hell?!"

Although this is an escape scene, didn’t the director explain the scene to the actors?

Just run away like this?

She was a little confused and ran outside with the crowd.

Soon she heard something chasing her.

And that thing was getting closer and closer to him.

A strange and cold aura seemed to envelop him, making it impossible to breathe.

what is that?
She was so terrified that she no longer treated this as a play. With her heart filled with fear, she ran forward with all her might.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

When she ran to a place deep in the woods where there was only one person, she stopped, held her knees and gasped for breath.

The sweat on her face wet her makeup and dripped down her cheeks.

Looking up, she saw a dark shadow flash by in the woods.

Then, a scream was heard from behind the bushes.

She immediately held her breath nervously, not daring to breathe.
