American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 11
"Wha-" The
dull voice echoed in his ears, and Peter in a bat helmet suddenly woke up, he woke up panting, and then looked around in confusion, only feeling inexplicable fear, and he couldn't even remember where he was.
Subconsciously wanted to get up, but immediately felt severe pain all over his body, as if he had just been beaten and then thrown into the washing machine and.
That's right... I did get beaten up.
After confirming that there was no one around, Peter took off his helmet and rubbed his stinging temple with one hand, and his recent memories gradually became clear.
Yesterday, after successive battles against the bullseye and the prowler, he finally met Diane, and also met his childhood sweetheart Gwen Stacy, but the extremely tired Peter did not care about anything else, and directly came to this safe house with the two and found a place to pass out.
But the first sleep experience after crossing was too bad.
Resisting the pain, Peter stood up, and he looked around to find himself in an unfamiliar concrete room.
The room was empty, except for the stainless steel bed under him, only an empty iron shelf, and the gray concrete walls were decorated with various futuristic alloys.
At the top of the room, a pale white chandelier hangs at intervals, feeling like you're inside a bomb shelter.
Putting his helmet back on, Peter pushed open the iron door and came to a cloister, and iron doors stood on either side of the cloister.
It's hard to imagine that this is actually inside a subway tunnel.
This so-called "safe house" is actually more like a small shelter.
Its interior is thousands of feet long, enough to accommodate at least twenty people inside.
Only the Bernano family, which undertook the government's subway construction project, could build this "safe house" on such a scale.
This "safe house" was established during the Cold War to defend against a possible nuclear strike.
But as time passed, it was slowly abandoned and forgotten, and eventually only Diane and her father knew of its existence.
Compared to the previous "safe house", this is undoubtedly much more reliable.
Walking down the cloister, Peter soon came to a hall and was surprised to find Gwen and Diane sitting at a round table discussing something.
Gwen noticed Peter first, and then she pouted, seemingly helplessly:
"Brother, I think you are more dedicated than your job in COS Batman, you actually wear this broken shell even when you sleep, is this some kind of spiritual symbol?"
Peter ignored her, and he went straight to Diane and carefully examined her state. Then sure enough, a
large amount of blood was found in her eyes, and her eyes were also dull, and Diane at this time seemed to be a walking dead.
"How long have you not slept?"
Peter frowned and cared, if he remembered correctly, Diane hadn't slept once since he met him, even conservatively estimating that Diane's last sleep was two days ago.
Diane, on the other hand, smiled wryly and waved her hand, obviously she couldn't care about her sleep at this time, she pointed to Gwen and said with a little excitement:
"He... Bateman, I have an agreement with this ghost Spider-Man that she'll be able to provide some assistance with our next moves, so you may need to cooperate with her next.
As if realizing that Peter did not want to expose his identity to Gwen, Diane deliberately did not say Peter's name.
She then pushed a densely written piece of paper to Peter.
"Regarding Milk's supporters, the new character Fisk, Ghost Spider-Man has dealt with him a lot, it seems that he is not a nobody, he has just been hiding under the surface.
It's no wonder that he was able to let Milk take control of the family in just a few days, and my stupid cousin still probably doesn't understand that sooner or later he will become a puppet of the other party, and sooner or later he will be sold at his level.
So our goal now is not to defeat Milk, he is now a stabilizer, and if we kill him, then the other powerful members of the family will not immediately recognize my inheritance, and they will definitely fight for power.
So the key to our actions is to rescue my father, only if he has enough prestige and means to suppress the others, and only by rescuing my father can we regain control of the family after defeating Milk.
Diane was very excited at this time, and finally came up with a feasible plan, she held up the piece of paper and gushed.
"And right now, if nothing else, my father must be in Fisk's hands, and he will definitely not kill his father easily, otherwise he will become Milk's backer."
And Milk has enough reason to get rid of him and attack him, so he needs my father as a counterweight to Milk.
So now our priority is to gather information on my father's location, and I will use the cash that Cotton provided to collect some of the personnel.
Once I can confirm my father's location, I will send them to attack head-on, and you can secretly rescue my father.
However, Peter scratched his chin in embarrassment, and then raised his hand tremblingly, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.
"That... That cash is gone..."
"Gone?!"
Diane, who was still gushing just now, was instantly stunned, and she stared at Peter deadly, with her red eyes like an angry tiger at this time. Peter
subconsciously took a step back and then said helplessly: "When we were attacked, I only had time to save you, the box of cash and weapons were left in the car,
and the person who attacked us was defeated by me and burned the car with Molotov cocktails in order to escape, the box of cash naturally was..."
Looking at Diane's frightened appearance, Peter quickly explained:
"But not all of them burned, at least the two bundles of banknotes you left me are still there."
Then Peter quickly searched in his arms, but only took out a bundle of confetti.
In the battle with the bullseye, Peter naturally could not dodge the bullets of the bullseye, and there were many bullets Peter purely relied on his strong body to resist.
Although people are fine, the banknotes in their clothes are not so strong, and after experiencing being pierced by bullets and burned by wanderers, naturally few survived.
Diane looked blankly at the crumbs in Peter's hand and muttered,
"I... So we don't have a penny now ... So we're poor now?
Gwen made up for it in time.
"Strictly speaking, it should be called a poor bastard."
Diane took two steps back as if she had been hit hard, and Peter was about to step forward to help, but Diane stood on her own, and then she glanced at the two and said softly: "
I'm tired..."
Then he turned around and walked trembling towards the depths of the "safe house".
However, before taking two steps, Diane fell directly to the ground, but Gwen reacted quickly and directly pulled Diane with spider silk.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, there were dark red marks on Diane's dress that gradually expanded, and the marks exuded a familiar smell of Peter.
It's blood! Diane is hurt?!
Gwen apparently recognized the blood as well, and quickly ripped off Diane's clothes to look for the wound.
With a sudden snap, a soft and sticky voice sounded in my ears.
It was a blood-stained one... Items that resemble bandages... David, who was no stranger to physiological knowledge, instantly recognized the object. He looked at
Gwen, who looked at him speechlessly, and although he didn't speak, both seemed to be able to hear each other's deep sighs.
