Chapter 41: Peter Parker's Life on the Line
"Save me! Anyone, please save me!"
The panicked Mary Jane knelt at the Top of the tower, hands clasped in front of her chest. It was less a cry for help and more like performing opera.
"Roar!"
As if to cooperate with the panicked Mary Jane, a Gorilla, roughly 3 or 4 stories tall, climbed towards the Top of the tower, approaching it at an extremely fast speed.
"No! Help!"
Watching King Kong approach, Mary Jane began to cry for help even more energetically, but this still couldn't stop the terrifying King Kong from getting closer.
Just as the beautiful Mary Jane was about to meet her demise, a majestic and loud voice came over.
"Up up away!"
Passersby, who appeared out of nowhere, also exclaimed at just the right moment.
"Look, it's a Bird!"
"That's an Airplane!"
"No! It's Invulnerability Mr. P!"
Faster than a Bullet, more powerful than a Train, in the blink of an eye, King Kong was knocked down from the Tower, falling to the Ground with a bang, unable to get up again.
"Mr. P, where are you?" Mary Jane, freed from danger, stumbled to her feet and looked around, wanting to find the Hero who had saved her.
"Is there something I can help you with, beautiful lady?"
Just as Mary Jane was disappointed, thinking the Hero had already left, a robust Figure slowly descended from behind her.
Mary Jane turned her head in surprise, looking at the peerless Hero who had saved her.
Taking off his Glasses, Peter Parker, with a Figure as robust as Four-Armed Tyrant, was gazing affectionately at Mary Jane.
"It really is you, my Hero, my beloved, Peter."
Mary Jane's eyes welled up with tears, she covered her mouth with her hands, and slowly approached Peter.
"That's right, it's me, Mary Jane."
Peter also slowly flew towards Mary Jane and gently embraced her in his arms.
The two looked at each other in silence, the burning love in their eyes unspoken. Mary Jane's eyes were full of tenderness as she tilted her neck up, her meaning self-evident.
The atmosphere had been built up to this point, and Peter didn't refuse. He lowered his head and leaned in to kiss Mary Jane.
The two got closer and closer, and just as they were about to touch, a slight accident occurred.
Peter saw that the love in Mary Jane's eyes had turned into a rushing waterfall, as if to drown him.
It was a physical drowning. In Peter's horrified gaze, two torrents suddenly shot out from Mary Jane's Eyes.
Peter wanted to resist, but his consciousness became increasingly blurred under the rushing Water flow, until he lost consciousness.
"Ah!"
Peter cried out and opened his Eyes. Fine Water droplets, connected in sheets, dripped from above his head, blocking his vision and preventing him from seeing his surroundings clearly for a moment.
"Cough cough!"
Because of suddenly waking up, he gasped for breath, Water even getting sucked into his nose and mouth, choking him into a cough.
Peter wanted to wipe the Water off his face, but found that his hands were unable to move. This frightened him. He struggled to stand up, but found he still couldn't. Apart from the creaking Sound of struggling, he got nothing.
"Huff! Huff!"
Peter forced himself to calm down. As he calmed down, he realized he was tied to a Chair. As the Water flow ran down his face, he gradually began to see his surroundings clearly.
The dim light allowed him to only vaguely discern the surrounding environment. It seemed to be a Warehouse. The faint light was emitted by a Flashlight not far from him.
"Have I been kidnapped?"
Peter's Question had just come out when he heard Footsteps coming from behind him.
"Who? Who's there!"
The pressure of the Footsteps behind him, coupled with the unknown Fear, made Peter panic. He questioned the person behind him in a panic.
"Help! Save me! Ple-"
Peter, getting no response, chose to call for help loudly. However, before he could shout a few words, the person behind him grabbed his neck, making him swallow his cry for help.
Peter felt his throat was about to be strangled. He felt like the person behind him was fumbling for something.
'Could it be a Knife!'
Once this terrible thought took root, it only brought panic. Peter struggled desperately, and his controlled throat began to roar.
"Oh! Uh! Woah!"
The Chair was as if welded to the Ground. Peter struggled desperately, unable to move even an inch. He could only squeeze out a few broken screams from his throat.
Accompanied by a sharp pain, Peter felt something sharp pierce into his Arm, followed by a Feeling of discomfort from a foreign object invading. That person had injected something into him!
Peter was in despair. Although he didn't know what it was, it was obviously not something good. He thought it might be some kind of drug dealer using him to test Medicine, or maybe it was Poison. In his despair, he thought of many things.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May, he wondered what would happen to them after he was gone.
Mary Jane, he had only recently understood her Feelings, but unfortunately, there would be no follow-up.
Gwen, his best Friend, her Drum playing was getting better and better. He wondered if she would marry Habby in the future.
Habby, his best buddy, he had changed because of Habby's appearance, saving him countless times. But this time, Habby couldn't make a dazzling appearance like a Superhero from Comics to save him.
"Boom!"
A White Light suddenly enveloped Peter, so bright that he couldn't open his Eyes. Immediately following was a loud noise, and then a gust of wind rushed towards him, blowing his mouth askew and his eyes crooked.
"Clink! Clatter clatter."
The Needle fell to the Ground. Peter felt his neck loosen, and the person behind him was no longer controlling him, but he no longer had the strength to call for help.
He felt like he had been injected with Explosive, the pain almost turning him inside out.
"Peter, how are you? Peter!"
A shrill voice. Peter had never heard this voice before, but for some reason, it felt familiar. In a daze, he seemed to see Yang Le.
"Habby..., save me, Habby..."
Yang Le, transformed into Fasttrack Transformation, looked anxiously at Peter. At this moment, Peter was like a cooked Shrimp, frighteningly red.
"Why are speedsters always one step late? Is this a curse?" Yang Le cursed in a low voice, extended his sharp claws, cut the Restraints that bound Peter, and then placed them on the Ground.
"Omnitrix, what's wrong with Peter now?"
"Detecting Gene Mutant."
Gene Mutant? Yang Le was surprised by Omnitrix's answer. Originally, he was just grasping at straws, but he didn't expect Omnitrix to actually give him an answer, and Omnitrix could actually cure this illness.
"Repair target Gene! Quick!"
Yang Le's voice was a little off with anxiety. In his anxiety, he didn't notice a Bug quietly slipping away in the shadows.
"Unable to do so."
"What? Why?" Yang Le asked in surprise.
"The target is in the process of mutation. If the target Gene is forcibly repaired at this time, it will cause irreversible damage, even..."
"Kill the target!"
The cold, calm Narration was deafening to Yang Le.
