“That’s the problem!”
Taking out a holographic projection device, Natasha lightly pressed it, and a holographic photo appeared before everyone.
“The man in the black suit in the photo is the Master of the Hudson Hotel thirty years ago. The woman and young child next to him are his wife and child.”
“And the other people in the photo are the tourists he killed!”
Saying that, Natasha zoomed in on one of the tourists’ pictures: “Thirty years ago, this tourist had his neck slit by the Hudson Hotel’s Master, and he was as dead as could be.”
“But twenty-seven years later, he actually appeared in a small town in Los Angeles.”
Continuing the holographic projection, photos of ten people quickly displayed.
“These are the people who disappeared from the Hudson Hotel twenty-seven years ago. Nine of them went there to explore, and the other person in the photo is the guy whose neck was slit!”
“Hiss.”
Hearing Natasha say this, Gwen subconsciously leaned against Lynn.
Although she possessed extraordinary abilities, she was still somewhat afraid of ghost stories and the like.
Especially true supernatural events like this!
On the other hand, Polaris and Laura, who were nearby, curiously leaned in: “Then what?”
Looking at the two braver young girls, Natasha knew their identities.
She continued: “After the nine people entered the Hudson Hotel to explore, they never reappeared. Three years later, Nelson, one of the nine, appeared in New Jersey.”
“This time, he also used exploration as an excuse, bringing another nine people into the abandoned Hudson Hotel, and then these nine people also disappeared.”
“After another three years, a girl named Millie appeared in Texas.”
Hearing Natasha’s narration, Lynn Hall said: “So, every three years, a person who has already died from the Hudson Hotel will appear, and then lure nine others in another city to enter the Hudson Hotel again, right?”
“Exactly!”
Nodding to Lynn, Natasha said: “It’s like a cycle, this kind of incident happens every three years.”
“It’s just that no one paid attention at the time, after all, tens of thousands of people go missing in the United States every year.”
“It wasn’t until nine years ago that the Hudson Hotel finally attracted attention!”
Saying that, Natasha continued to play the holographic projection.
This time, the holographic projection played a video. The video showed three young people holding DVs, who rented this hotel to convert it into a haunted house, then open it during Halloween to make a fortune.
As the video continued to play, the three people’s renovation of the hotel’s interior also progressed rapidly.
Because they didn’t have much money, they only bought a few Joker simulation models and used red paint to brush the hotel rooms.
On Halloween, many tourists attracted by the haunted house paid to enter.
Several girls with DVs were also recording everything.
Later, something unknown happened, and the tourists who entered the haunted house screamed and ran out of the hotel. The girls were also separated by the surging crowd.
At the end of the video, the girl holding the DV hid in a corner, constantly calling for help, but soon a burly guy appeared in the frame.
The video stopped abruptly here, and Natasha zoomed in on the burly guy.
He looked no different from an ordinary person, except that his eyes had been gouged out.
“Oh my God!”
Seeing this scene, Gwen immediately hid in Lynn’s arms, and even Laura hugged Polaris next to her.
“This video is banned. We obtained it from the CIA database. As for this man with no eyes, he was once a CIA Agent, and also the guy who lured the three young people to rent this hotel!”
“CIA?”
Hearing Natasha mention the CIA, Lynn said: “They didn’t investigate this matter thoroughly?”
“Of course they investigated, but later the investigation results were classified as top-secret files. They even once wanted to completely destroy the Hudson Hotel, but for some unknown reason, they gave up on that plan at the last minute!”
At this point, Natasha said: “In fact, the Mayor of Hudson Town tried to dissuade these people more than once, and even called the police, but it was all useless.”
“And half a month ago, after S.H.I.E.L.D. took over this case, they dispatched a team of investigators to the Hudson Hotel to investigate.”
Saying that, Natasha played the video sent back by the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team.
In the video, outside a gloomy room, a man with no eyes was pointing at them with a sinister smile.
Seeing this, the investigation team immediately opened fire, but the bullets hitting the man with no eyes had no effect whatsoever.
The second video was in a messy restaurant, where a woman with emaciated limbs and black blood dripping from the corners of her mouth was about to pounce on them.
After being chased by this terrifying woman all the way to the Underground Room, the investigation team members hadn’t even had time to catch their breath when several simulation Jokers holding knives surrounded them.
Ultimately, amidst a series of screams, the investigation team was completely wiped out.
The entire video appeared exceptionally terrifying and eerie, and the three girls in the Base were so scared they were trembling.
“Oh no, everyone, Professor Connors is gone!”
Just as the three girls were curled up watching the video, Peter Parker ran in and immediately shouted!
The sudden sound made Laura scream, and Polaris subconsciously used her ability to throw a table at Peter Parker!
Hearing Laura’s scream and the flying table, Peter Parker instinctively jumped up and stepped on the table.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Seeing the terrified Laura and Polaris both glare at him, Peter Parker was a bit confused.
Putting away the projection device, Natasha looked at Lynn and said: “This time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team suffered heavy losses, so Lynn, I hope you can cooperate with our S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“After all, half a month ago, I personally saw that corpse with the strange pattern on its back turn into a pile of ashes after letting out a wail in front of you.”
After speaking, Natasha also glanced at Lynn’s left arm.
Facing Natasha’s request, Lynn did not agree directly, but instead said to Natasha: “Let’s put this aside for now, Spider-Man seems to have something going on!”
“Were you just watching a horror movie?”
Hearing Lynn mention him, Peter Parker leaned over: “What kind of movie could scare you guys like this? I remember Laura, weren’t you quite brave?”
“Spider-Man, let’s talk about serious business first. You just said Professor Connors is gone?”
“Oh right, yes Lynn, Professor Connors is gone!”
Facing Lynn’s question, Peter Parker immediately said: “When I went to the laboratory to find him, I found the laboratory in a mess, there must have been a fight.”
“And not only is Professor Connors gone, but all of his assistants in the laboratory have also disappeared!”
After Peter Parker finished speaking, Lynn looked at Natasha and said: “Professor Kurt Connors developed a serum that can make people grow back missing body parts.”
“But after injecting it, the person disappeared, and even the laboratory assistants all disappeared.”
“Compared to the Hudson Hotel, I am currently more concerned about where Professor Connors and his laboratory assistants have gone!”
Hearing Lynn say this, Natasha was visibly stunned, and after realizing, she quickly pressed on: “You said, the serum Professor Connors developed can make people regrow lost body organs?”
“You can ask Spider-Man, he personally saw Connors’ missing arm grow back!”
After speaking, Lynn stood up, picked up the phone, and dialed out.
“Peter Parker, is what Lynn said true?”
Seeing Natasha’s very serious expression, Peter Parker nodded: “I did personally see Professor Connors’ lost left arm grow back, so I think… wait, what did you just call me?”
“Damn it, how do you know my real identity? Oh my God, I’ve never exposed my identity in public.”
Regarding Peter Parker’s frantic voice as he clutched his head, Natasha shrugged: “Ever since you became Spider-Man, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been keeping an eye on you.”
“So it’s not difficult to find out your identity.”
“Don’t worry, Lynn’s people have already deleted all surveillance videos captured online of Spider-Man and Spider-Woman going home, so not many people know your true identities!”
“Then my identity is also at risk of being exposed!”
Watching Natasha pick up the phone and dial Nick Fury, Peter Parker directly let out a wail!
Natasha didn’t care about Peter’s concerns; she knew Lynn could protect Peter Parker.
The serum that can regenerate severed limbs and regrow missing organs is currently the most important thing.
Especially for herself.
If this serum is really effective, then will she also have a chance to become a true mother in the future?
After hanging up the phone, Lynn said: “I’ve already informed Alice and the others, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is heading towards Professor Connors’ laboratory, and we’ll go immediately as well.”
Fifteen minutes later, inside Professor Connors’ laboratory.
Looking at the shattered glass everywhere, and the animals like mice and lizards that had escaped from the experimental boxes.
Alice came to Lynn’s side and said: “Boss, we’ve thoroughly checked the laboratory and found signs of a struggle.”
“However, there are no signs of forced entry into the laboratory, which rules out someone breaking in and kidnapping Kurt Connors!”
Hearing Alice’s words, Lynn nodded.
“Boss, we’ve found something here!”
An FBI agent accidentally discovered a mechanism in the laboratory and immediately told Lynn.
Soon, everyone saw a long corridor hidden behind the pushed-open wall.
“My God, I never knew there was such a passage inside this laboratory.”
Seeing the passage, Peter Parker said to Lynn: “Lynn, could it be that the original Master of the laboratory designed this passage, with the purpose of breaking in and stealing Professor Connors’ hard work after his serum research succeeded?”
“You know, the original Master of this laboratory was also Professor Connors’ good friend, so he should know about Professor Connors’ research!”
Looking at Peter, who still hadn’t suspected Kurt Connors, Lynn took the submachine gun from Alice’s hand and said: “We’ll know once we go in and see!”
Walking down the stairs, a winding maze of diverging paths appeared before everyone.
“Boss, this should be connected to New York’s sewers; the entire sewer system connects throughout New York City!”
As Alice was speaking, a series of low growls suddenly came from ahead.
Hearing this sound, Alice and the others immediately aimed their submachine guns forward.
As the low growls grew closer, soon, a humanoid lizard appeared before everyone.
“My God, what the hell is that?”
Upon seeing the Lizard, Peter Parker immediately exclaimed, and the Lizard roared at everyone, then charged forward with its mouth full of sharp teeth.
“Fire!”
At Lynn’s command, the FBI agents present immediately opened fire.
“Da da da”
Countless bullets instantly struck the Lizard, and the Lizard, which had been roaring and charging towards them, fell to the ground, clutching its head and remaining motionless.
Watching the blood continuously flow from the Lizard’s body, the FBI agents stopped their attack.
Holding their submachine guns, they approached the Lizard, and only then did everyone realize that the Lizard’s wounds, which had been bleeding from bullet impacts, were rapidly healing.
“Roar!”
After a furious roar, the Lizard Man suddenly stood up, his sharp claws reaching directly for Alice's head.
At the critical moment, Lynn grabbed the Lizard Man's sharp claws with one hand, then slammed a heavy punch into the Lizard Man's chest.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, the Lizard Man was actually sent flying more than ten meters away by Lynn.
The Lizard Man, who had crashed heavily into the wall, shook his head hard, still trying to prop himself up.
But the next second, he was enveloped in green energy and floated into the air, unable to break free from the force field energy surrounding him no matter how he struggled.
"Anesthetics!"
Hearing Lynn's command, Alice and the others immediately switched to anesthetics, and then dozens of anesthetic darts directly pierced into the Lizard Man's body.
As a large amount of anesthetic was injected, the Lizard Man, who had been struggling, gradually stopped moving.
"He's not dead, is he?"
Looking at the Lizard Man who was no longer struggling, Peter Parker leaned forward to take a look.
After finding that he was still breathing, he immediately said to Lynn, "Lynn, he's still alive! My goodness, with this many anesthetics, even an elephant couldn't handle it!"
Hearing Peter Parker's words, Lynn chuckled, then had Alice and the others take the Lizard Man back to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Peter, you said Professor Connors created the serum using the regenerative genes of lizards. So, do you think this Lizard Man might have also injected that serum to become like this?"
Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker thought for a few seconds: "It's not impossible, after all, Professor Connors didn't tell me the side effects of the serum!"
"Oh, right, the experimental notes are at the Illuminati Base. Lynn, since the serum's side effects can turn people into Lizard Men."
"Then we can also reverse-engineer a serum to turn Lizard Men back into humans!"
Inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Hi, Sean, Alice, long time no see."
After arriving at Lynn's office, Tony, Sean, and Alice greeted each other.
Alice and Sean were also the ones who followed Lynn to the Middle East to rescue him, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with them.
But when he saw Natasha, he immediately said to Lynn, "Wow, Lynn, you need to be careful. Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. sent her here to scheme something against you. I guess it might be you!"
Hearing Tony's half-joking tone, Natasha shook her head and said, "Tony, don't be so petty."
"Tsk!"
Turning to look at Lynn, Tony Stark asked curiously, "Lynn, do you need something from me?"
"I need your help with something."
He got up and led Tony to the laboratory, where the Lizard Man, who had been injected with anesthetic, was still sound asleep in the cage.
"What is this thing?"
Walking closer and examining the Lizard Man carefully, Tony Stark asked Lynn with some surprise, "Is this the Lizard Man you FBI agents caught underground? My goodness, are all those rumors online true, that Earth is actually ruled by Lizard Men?"
Hearing Tony's wild idea, Natasha, who was beside him, shook her head.
Lynn then explained, "This was found in the sewer connected to Professor Kurt Connors's laboratory."
After Lynn explained the situation to Tony Stark, Peter Parker also retrieved the experimental notes from the Illuminati Base.
"Hi, Spider-Man."
"Hello, Mr. Stark, this suit is so cool, it's nothing like when you were pinned to the ground by that metal lump on the streets of New York—uh, I mean, it's great to see you here."
Watching Tony roll his eyes, Peter Parker spread his hands apologetically, then handed the experimental notes to Lynn.
"Tony, I suspect this Lizard Man is Kurt Connors's assistant, and that he became a Lizard Man because he injected that serum."
Handing the experimental notes to Tony, Lynn said, "So I hope you can decipher the experimental notes and see if you can turn him back from a Lizard Man into a human!"
As Lynn was speaking, Joey rushed in: "Boss, Ryan and I have already cracked the surveillance of Professor Kurt Connors's laboratory."
Taking the tablet from Joey's hand, the other people in the lab also gathered around curiously.
Opening the video, they saw that after Kurt Connors injected the serum in the video, his severed arm slowly grew back.
But not long after, Kurt Connors painfully knelt on the ground, a huge tail grew out from behind him, and then he directly transformed into a Lizard Man.
Seeing this scene, Peter Parker clutched his head and said, "I can't believe Professor Connors actually turned into a Lizard Man! My goodness, he even attacked those lab assistants?"
Watching Kurt Connors use green gas in the video to turn the lab assistants into Lizard Men, Peter Parker exclaimed, "Level two gas? Professor Connors said this gas is not as mature as the serum. What exactly does he want to do?"
The video ended with Dr. Curt Connors leading the Lizard Men escaping through the laboratory's sewer.
Lynn replayed the video, then paused the footage where Dr. Curt Connors was holding a lab assistant, his mouth opening and closing as he said something.
"Joey, can you analyze what Kurt Connors is saying?"
"Give me two minutes!"
Hearing Lynn's question, Joey immediately operated the computer and began to analyze Kurt Connors's lip movements.
"Boss, after Kurt Connors transformed into Dr. Curt Connors, his lips changed significantly, so currently I can only analyze the word 'evolution'!"
"Evolution?"
Hearing Joey's analysis, Laura asked curiously, "'Theory of Evolution'?"
"Probably not!"
Lynn 'thought' for a few seconds while watching the video, then suddenly said, "What he's trying to express is that humans need to evolve; he wants to turn everyone in New York, and even the entire World, into Lizard Men!"
Hearing Lynn's explanation, Tony Stark frowned and said, "Turning humans into Lizard Men, is that considered evolution?"
"According to Professor Connors's understanding, the genes of reptiles can allow injured people to heal quickly, and even regrow lost organs, so in his view, this is indeed evolution!"
Looking at Tony, Lynn said seriously, "Tony, I need your help."
"Kurt Connors wants to use green gas to turn humans into Lizard Men. I hope you can develop an antidote, and Spider-Man will help you!"
Looking at the sleeping Lizard Man in the cage, Tony Stark nodded and said, "No problem, although I'm not an expert in the field of biological genetics, I can try."
Saying that, Tony turned his head and looked at Peter Parker, saying, "Let's go, pajama boy. Since Lynn says you can help, what are we waiting for?"
Well, just now Peter told Tony that he was pinned to the ground by Iron Monger, and Tony is a petty guy.
Watching the two leave, Lynn said to Joey, "Joey, activate the city-wide surveillance. Once a Lizard Man is spotted, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Alice, Sean, you notify all active personnel in the action team to prepare for battle, recall anyone on leave immediately, equip everyone with high-concentration anesthetic bullets, and if the anesthetic is ineffective, use armor-piercing rounds!"
"Yes!"
After giving them instructions, Lynn turned to Natasha: "You go rest in my office first. I'm going to find our Director!"
"Okay, if needed, S.H.I.E.L.D. here..."
"Not for now!"
Hearing Natasha's words, Lynn refused without hesitation.
Watching Lynn leave, Natasha frowned.
She once again heard distrust of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Lynn's unhesitating refusal!
Inside James Duke's office!
Hearing Lynn's narration, James Duke's expression also became serious.
"Can you determine the current location of the Lizard Man?"
"We can't be sure yet, but Director, the sewers connect throughout New York, and Kurt Connors and those lab assistants could very likely appear anywhere."
"Therefore, I need the cooperation of the NYPD, the Port Authority, the City Hall, and even the Military, and at the same time, blockade all subways, districts, ports, and other areas."
"However, our Federal Bureau of Investigation does not have this authority, so Director, only you can apply to the higher-ups!"
Hearing Lynn's request, James Duke frowned and said, "Lynn, if we do this, New York will enter a state of full martial law."
"Your plan is good, but obviously doing this is absolutely—"
Mid-sentence, James Duke suddenly chuckled: "You're trying to put on a show for the higher-ups?"
Seeing that Duke understood his meaning, Lynn also smiled and nodded.
As the head of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, Lynn naturally knew that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had no authority to blockade New York or command the Military.
The reason he did this was actually to show it to the higher-ups.
Dr. Connors was about to bring chaos to New York, and the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, having learned the news in advance, quickly reacted.
And at the same time, seeking help from above, this is to demonstrate the capabilities of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
At that time, whether Headquarters and the Department of Justice allow the blockade of New York will be their problem to consider!
As for the consequences this disaster would bring to New York, it was no longer related to him and his people.
Perhaps the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation would even play the role of turning the tide in this incident.
Anyway, the ball has been kicked out.
Lynn didn't care how many Americans died; he only cared if he could push James Duke to Headquarters, or even to the position of Federal Bureau of Investigation Director.
After all, only if he went up, Lynn could completely take over the entire New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
And the higher James Duke climbed, the more secure his own position would be.
Then, when HYDRA is discovered by Captain America, he would then sell Duke out...
Tsk tsk, perfect!
Of course, as for whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters would shirk responsibility or even blame it on them after the disaster?
Lynn wasn't worried at all, after all, behind him and Duke stood HYDRA, which had infiltrated the U.S. government!
Understanding Lynn's subtext, James Duke smiled and said, "In that case, I'll take a flight to Washington!"
"Lynn, you should also make more preparations here. The entire New York Federal Bureau of Investigation is now under your full command!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Duke's words, Lynn nodded.
Inside a New York sewer!
"The mutated gas has been installed."
Looking at his kind, who had no human intelligence, Osas, who had turned into a Lizard Man, said to Kurt Connors, "As long as we open the pipes, the mutated gas will enter thousands of homes in Brooklyn through the sewer pipes."
"Anyone who inhales the gas will evolve into our kind."
At this point, Osas looked at Dr. Curt Connors and said, "However, Professor Connors, our mutated gas is limited, and it's simply not enough to evolve everyone in New York into Lizard Men!"
Hearing Osas say this, Dr. Curt Connors said, "Brooklyn is just a prelude, Osas. Do you think I don't have other preparations?"
"Ever since I set my sights on Peter Parker to solve that formula, I've been using a friend's satellite to monitor Peter Parker's every move."
"I didn't expect him to be Spider-Man, and even more unexpectedly, he's so close to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"To prevent the Federal Bureau of Investigation from ruining my plan, I could only put the lab Peter knew about on the table."
At this point, Dr. Curt Connors looked at his current body with satisfaction: "Frail humans need to evolve, and we are the new humans of Earth!"
Listening to Dr. Curt Connors's proud tone, Osas nodded.
Compared to his original body which lacked a leg, he was now very satisfied with this powerful body.
"Proceed with the plan, Osas. It won't be long before New York becomes our dominion!"
Watching Osas leave, Dr. Curt Connors glanced disdainfully at the lizardmen in the sewer who couldn't inherit intelligence, then walked towards the other end of the sewer.
Inside Tony Stark's private laboratory at Stark Tower.
"Are you sure this is the complete experimental notebook Kurt Connors gave you?"
Tony Stark asked Peter Parker, looking at the data model Jarvis had created.
"Of course, this is Professor Connors's years of research. He said all the data on it was obtained bit by bit through experiments."
"With this data, the fusion of human and reptilian regenerative genes can be used to create a serum."
Hearing Peter say this, Tony Stark waved his hand and said, "You've obviously been tricked by him."
"Look at the model Jarvis analyzed. Although the initial process is consistent, the data in the last few steps is completely wrong. If you follow the experimental notes exactly, the experimental result of this data simply cannot achieve the fusion of human and reptilian regenerative genes."
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Tony Stark say this, Peter Parker said, "I even helped Professor Connors test the accuracy of the data in his laboratory."
"Then he certainly didn't let you test the later data, did he?"
"He didn't, indeed. Professor Connors said my current knowledge reserve wasn't enough. Wait, Mr. Stark, how did you discover the problem? Didn't you say you're not a genetic biologist!"
"Of course I'm not, but Jarvis can be!"
With that, Tony had Jarvis re-simulate the model and begin to deduce the subsequent data.
"I don't understand, why would Professor Connors lie to me? What do I have that he... He wanted my dad's notebook."
Peter Parker, who suddenly understood everything, sat on the chair in annoyance: "He told me that he used to do research with my father, and the company recorded in my father's notebook could solve the last step of research that had been bothering him!"
"So everything he did, all the grand ideas he spoke of, were fake? Damn it, I shouldn't have trusted him!"
Tony shrugged, looking at Peter Parker, who was sitting on the chair with his hood on, his voice full of frustration: "Don't be disheartened. Everyone makes the mistake of trusting someone they shouldn't."
"You know, even I trusted Obadiah Stane. Next time, just be smarter."
Hearing Tony's comfort, Peter Parker said in annoyance, "When I first joined the Illuminati, Lynn told me not to easily trust others."
"It's just that I..."
Just as he was speaking, Peter Parker's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone, saw that it was Mary Jane calling, and was about to hang up.
Then he heard Tony Stark say, "It's not surprising that Lynn has the ability to see through others, after all, he's a top Agent."
"Although you have good abilities, you're still too green compared to him. So, instead of regretting it now, why not work with me to develop anti-lizardmen gas?"
"Hmm? Is that your girlfriend calling? You'd best answer it first. Don't let your frustration affect your relationship."
"Hmm, I'm curious, after you and your girlfriend get married, will you have little Spider-Mans in the future?"
Looking at Tony's unreliable demeanor, Peter Parker, however, felt that he made sense.
At the very least, he couldn't ignore Mary Jane's call.
The next morning, Saturday, Times Square, New York.
A flock of pigeons soared in the sky, while huge screens on both sides of the street below continuously played various advertisements.
Many pedestrians walked with headphones, listening to music, and nearby cafes were filled with people enjoying their weekend.
Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, a manhole cover on the street suddenly shook.
Soon, the manhole cover was blasted into the air by immense force, and then, several lizardmen crawled out of the sewer.
Seeing the lizardmen suddenly appear on the street, the surrounding pedestrians immediately screamed and scattered.
Upon seeing the screaming and fleeing pedestrians, these lizardmen swiftly pounced into the crowd.
One of the lizardmen grabbed a pedestrian and threw him without hesitation, while more pedestrians were scratched by the lizardmen's sharp claws.
In just a few seconds, Times Square was in complete chaos.
People hiding in buildings picked up their phones to call the police, and some timid people were even crying in fear.
Inside the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Boss, lizardmen have appeared in Times Square. The nearby NYPD has already rushed to the rescue."
Hearing Joey's report, Lynn Hall asked, "Are these NYPD equipped with tranquilizer guns?"
"Boss, ever since you informed Director George Stacy about this last night, he ordered all police stations in New York to be equipped with high-concentration tranquilizer darts."
"However, the 77 precincts and 12 traffic precincts are too numerous to ensure every officer can be equipped with high-concentration tranquilizer darts."
"But the Secret Service has been fully equipped with the designated gear."
Hearing Joey say this, Lynn stood by the window, looking out and saying, "Notify the Secret Service to dispatch and cooperate with the FBI Action Team to patrol the streets of New York 24 hours a day. Once traces of lizardmen are found, immediately go to support them!"
"Boss, the Secret Service and us..."
"Don't worry, our Director has a lot of pull. He already 'persuaded' the Department of Justice yesterday, and the New York Secret Service will fully cooperate with us!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Joey immediately began to execute it!
After Joey left, Barbara stepped forward and asked, "Boss, aren't we deploying Sean and Alice?"
"Not yet. Kurt Connors' hidden laboratories have all been cleared out, so he must be planning a bigger conspiracy!"
Yes, after Kurt Connors arrived in New York, he had been monitoring Peter Parker through his friend's private satellite.
But Lynn, upon learning of Kurt Connors' appearance, also had people monitoring his every move.
He thought his hidden laboratories were unknown to anyone, but he couldn't escape Lynn's eyes!
Let chaos reign. If New York isn't chaotic, if the lizardmen don't appear on a large scale and endanger the citizens of New York.
How can I demonstrate my ability to turn the tide?
If I don't show my abilities, how can a few more lines be added to my list of achievements?
After all, I am too young. If I don't have enough achievements to silence anyone, even if James Duke becomes the Director of the FBI in the future.
It will be very difficult for me to completely take over the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation!
Even if I am now a part of HYDRA!
"By the way, how is the research going at Tony's lab?"
Facing Lynn's inquiry, Barbara immediately said, "Mr. Stark said that Kurt Connors' experimental notes are fake, but he had Jarvis deduce it using the accurate data from the early stages, as well as Peter Parker's father's notes."
"The experimental results are almost complete, and Mr. Stark and Peter have also extracted blood samples from the lizardman we captured for experimental comparison."
"The antidote can be produced in a few hours at most!"
Hearing Barbara's words, Lynn nodded.
At this point, Barbara took a step forward and said, "Boss, you stayed in the office all night last night and didn't rest much. You must be very tired."
"How about I help you relax a bit?"
Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn smiled and ruffled her head: "No need. After this is over, I'll come to your place tonight."
Hmm, Lynn's heart was truly calm now.
After all, Jessica had run to his office last night and insisted he hold her legs and fight until late at night!
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of gunshots rang out in New York's Times Square, and high-strength tranquilizers directly knocked the lizardmen to the ground.
Seeing the lizardmen still struggling on the ground, a Captain from the Secret Service wanted to go forward to check.
But Dennis directly stopped him with his hand.
"Don't rush. Our Boss said these disgusting things have strong self-healing abilities, and they even play dead."
"Once these things are completely still, we'll put them in cages!"
Hearing Dennis say this, the Secret Service Captain nodded.
About a few minutes later, when the lizardmen had completely stopped struggling, Dennis finally had the Secret Service put the lizardmen into the pre-prepared special cages.
After all this was done, Dennis took out a cigarette and handed it to the Secret Service Captain.
"Thank you."
Taking the cigarette from Dennis's hand, Adams lit it and asked, "Where are your FBI agents? Why are there so few?"
"The New York Secret Service, combined with all NYPD, is divided into forty-two teams. Are you only assigning two people to each team to command?"
Hearing Adams's question, Dennis exhaled a puff of smoke, while having someone send these lizardmen to the Stark Industries laboratory.
He said to Adams, "Our people haven't been fully deployed yet. Our Boss said that only a few scattered lizardmen have appeared in New York so far."
"It's estimated that it won't be long before a large number of lizardmen appear. At that time, it will be a scene of the FBI and the Military acting together."
Hearing Dennis say this, Adams's eyes immediately widened.
Pulling Dennis aside, he glanced at the secretly watching civilians around, then whispered, "Mr. Lynn Hall said there will be a large number of lizardmen appearing?"
Looking at Adams's surprised look, Dennis shrugged: "Otherwise? Why do you think our Director flew to Washington yesterday?"
"Otherwise, why would the Department of Justice issue an order for your Secret Service, and even the Military, to cooperate with our Boss's command?"
"F***, no wonder your FBI agents haven't been deployed much. But where do you get your intelligence from?"
"I feel like as long as there's any movement in New York, your FBI always knows first. Oh, by the way, aren't you going to inform the public?"
Looking at the somewhat complaining Adams, Dennis smiled: "That's our Boss's skill."
"Inform the public, huh, our Boss also wanted to inform the public through the media, but FBI Headquarters and the Department of Justice wouldn't allow it. They believe this news would cause panic, and even chaos, among millions of New York citizens."
"So they strictly rejected our Boss's request. They want to wait until this matter is completely resolved before giving the public an explanation!"
Hearing Dennis say this, Adams cursed angrily: "These damn filthy politicians!"
