Chapter 56: New York is not peaceful tonight

into the night.

Gwen returns home from the hospital.

Although she wanted to stay in the hospital, the doctor refused her request on the grounds that the patient was still in critical condition.

She opened the door tiredly, threw the key on the table, and threw herself onto the sofa.

Her body immersed in the night, she felt extremely tired and weak.

This weakness and fatigue enveloped her completely, both mentally and physically.

Lying on the sofa with her face covered with her hands, Gwen stood there in a daze, doing nothing.

It started drizzling outside again. The rain lasted all day, leaving the whole city with a damp smell.

After a while, she got up from the sofa and walked to her father's room to take some clothes.

A photo frame on his father's desk caught his eye.

In the photo frame, I am being held by my father, and my mother is smiling and splashing sea water on me.

I looked very small in the photo, with beach sand on my short blond hair, and the sunlight was particularly glaring.

When was this?
Is it the time when your parents take you to Cooper Beach during the summer vacation?

She suddenly remembered how she felt on the beach at that time.

I walked along a white sand beach with my parents. Every grain of sand here sparkled in the sun.

The sand under my feet is warm, the tide is kissing the shore, and the air is salty, but it is not as salty and bitter as sea water, and it does not have the unpleasant fishy smell.

If possible, I really want to stay here, on this beach, and in this bright sunshine.

With a "pop", Gwen put the photo frame into the bag.

At the same time, throw this childish idea out of your mind.

The past is past, why recall these meaningless things now?

"Peter is right. I have to pull myself together. I have to win even if it means I'm in pieces. Doesn't being a so-called hero come with more responsibilities?"

After adjusting her mood, she walked out of her father's room.

"Om~!"

The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

She took out her cell phone and found that the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered the phone.

"Hi, I'm Gwen."

After speaking a few words to the person on the other side, Gwen's face suddenly changed color.

"Oh!"

Peter landed his feet on the tallest municipal clock tower in Brooklyn, splashing rain water.

He was covered in a dark exoskeleton, and the cloak behind him slowly receded.

The exoskeleton fits his body perfectly. Raindrops falling from the sky drip slowly through the gaps in it, making the entire "armor" glow bright black.

He reached out his hand and gently placed it on his face, and the bony extension of the mask disappeared from his face.

Looking at the city under the night sky, he took a step forward and stood on the edge of the rooftop.

The city skyline in the distance is illuminated by colorful lights, and the rumbling fog makes it seem full of mystery.

Peter stared at the distant skyline for a while, then reached out his hand to his chest.

Since the subway incident, there has been no movement of the embryo in his body.

There was no sudden onset of vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms as before.

It looks like the alien embryo has entered a new stage.

This new phase seems to be more stable than the previous one. And
He slowly reached forward.

In the rising mist, his fingers began to deform and move towards the direction of the alien's claws.

Sharper and more lethal changes are born with one's own thoughts.

This kind of claws is not like that of ordinary aliens. They are all mainly sharp and lethal, and they are also extremely fast. He can feel that it also gives him more powerful jumping ability.

What type of abnormal embryo is in my body now?
With his thoughts, his hand returned to normal and was covered with the exoskeleton again.

From the information I had read in my previous life, I remembered there was a kind of "spider web alien".

This alien is a product of the human-host alien "Fighter", fused with the genes of a jumping spider.

The whole body is mainly dark blue, and the head is pointed and spindle-shaped.

Compared with other types of aliens, its jumping ability has been significantly improved, and it can easily jump to a height of about five meters.

The Spider Web Alien is very good at jumping to high places to accumulate strength and then delivering a fatal blow to the target. Its claw attacks on the ground are also super fast.

Is the alien embryo that absorbed Frank's genes considered a "spider web alien"?

Peter, lost in thought, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt the power surging in his body.

Do not!
More than just "Spider-web Alien".

The brutality and bloodlust that had been churning in his body before began to gradually subside.

He remembered that the most common type of alien was the "worker bee alien", also known as the "stalker alien".

This type of alien walks upright on two feet, has logical thinking with a spirit of teamwork, and its entire body is filled with streamlined mechanical structures.

They are responsible for going to unknown locations to die and transporting large objects, and are also responsible for protecting the "Alien Queen". Compared with normal aliens, their biggest feature is that their attacks are more proactive and aggressive.

Peter suspected that the embryo in his chest was the "worker bee alien".

The naked killing intent and destructive hunting impulse were born from it.

But now this killing intent and impulse is slowly decreasing. Does it mean that the face hugger in the body is transforming from a "worker bee" to another form?
In his memory, worker bees can be transformed into queens.

The "Queen" has a strong learning ability, a huge body and hard exoskeleton skin, and possesses extremely strong strength and sharp claws.

And she can command the aliens to perform various tasks and issue various orders at the same time.

Is the embryo in your body the queen?

But this transformation occurs between adults, so how can it evolve into a queen in the embryonic stage?
Peter gently placed his left hand on his chest, feeling the two "heartbeats" inside.

Shaking his head, he threw these complicated thoughts out of his mind and turned to the matter at hand.

Looking up, Peter's eyes fell on a building opposite.

Matt Murdoch's law firm is right there.

He took a step forward, and with a "whoosh", his figure fell rapidly downwards.

A "cloak" instantly appeared on the back of his back, stopping his fall and driving him towards his destination.

This was the last person George Stacy saw.

He wouldn't believe that the other party was so pure that he had nothing to do with this matter.

With a "bang", his feet landed on the rooftop of the building where the office was located.

But the moment he landed, he saw a figure coming towards him not far away.

At the same time, a cat's cry suddenly came from the trash can in the nearby alley.

Peter frowned when he saw that there seemed to be other uninvited guests arriving.

Am I not the only one here tonight?
Shaking his head, his face was covered with extensions of the exoskeleton and his body was completely hidden in the darkness.

　Thank you all for voting, I bow 90 degrees!

　　Happy weekend, want tickets!
