Chapter 2 Cross-species gene fusion technology In a dilapidated house in Queens, New York. Peter Parker lay quietly on a pink bed full of girlishness. Due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion, he was exhausted. The person is still in a coma and shows no signs of waking up. At this moment, all his clothes had been taken off. The knife wound on his back had been stitched and bandaged carefully. The heavy rain is still falling. The big raindrops hit the dilapidated tiles, making crackling sounds. Inside the room, a beautiful woman with silver hair was sitting quietly beside the bed.
He looked at Peter Parker who was still in a coma with gentle eyes. Just then, rain seeped through the cracks in the ceiling. Then a drop of rain fell on Peter Parker's face. The sudden scene immediately made the woman look annoyed. "This damn broken house leaks when it rains. One day I will replace you." The woman took the towel and carefully wiped the raindrops off Peter's face, and then moved the bed. But just as she was about to reach out to wipe the water droplets. Peter suddenly opened his eyes, and then tightly grasped the woman's hand. His body turned over and strangled the woman's neck in an instant. "Who are you? What do you want to do? Tell me now, or I'll kill you!" At this moment, Peter's eyes were wide open and he exuded a violent aura from head to toe. It's not his fault, he just escaped death. After using all his skills, he finally managed to kill the two gangsters. Having finally managed to save his life, he naturally didn't want his life to be controlled by others again. In fact, he had woken up a minute ago. But with his keen sense of smell, he knew there was someone sitting next to him. That's why he didn't open his eyes or make any noise. Firstly, he wanted to figure out the situation he was in, so he couldn't alert the enemy. Secondly, he had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, while waiting, he discovered that the woman next to him seemed to have no ill will towards him and even bandaged the wound on his back. But having already been through the gates of hell, he did not take it lightly. Instead, I am still waiting for the opportunity slowly, until the moment the raindrops fall, the opportunity comes. It was just because he realized that this woman had no ill will towards him. That's why he didn't kill the opponent immediately, but temporarily controlled him. But what he didn't expect was that at this moment the woman actually called out his name. "Peter, it's me, Hardy. We've met before, at the freshman's ball at Imperial College, do you remember?" Peter held the woman's neck tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe and speak clearly, but she finally managed to finish her words with difficulty. Peter couldn't help but look surprised as he heard the woman's words. Because his intelligence has increased. So it only took him a moment to find information about this woman in the original Peter's memory. The woman in front of him was 90% similar to a silver-haired woman named Felicia Hardy whom Peter met at the freshman dance in college. It’s just that Hardy was still very young back then, while the woman in front of him was mature and charming, exuding a delicate aura all over her body. However, they looked almost the same, which made him understand immediately. The woman who was being strangled by him at this moment was his college classmate Felicia Hardy. As a time traveler, Li Ran knows that the woman in front of him named Felicia actually has a hidden identity, that is the anti-hero of the Marvel world - Black Cat. It’s just that this world seems to be completely different from the main Marvel universe in his impression, so whether it is true or not remains to be investigated further. "Hardy? Why is it you? Why are you here?" Peter immediately loosened his grip on Felicia and looked at her with doubt and shock. Suddenly, his thoughts went back to the time when Peter was just in college. At that time, Peter was determined to develop in the academic circle, trying to cross classes through knowledge and change his own destiny. However, Peter's enterprising behavior was out of tune with the campus environment he was in at the time. It even made Peter an outlier in the eyes of ordinary people, so that he was ridiculed and excluded by his peers. Even after going to college, Peter's classmates still regarded him as a nerd who only knew how to study. Therefore, when Peter was a student, he had only a handful of friends with whom he could chat. And Felicia Hardy in front of us is one of the few. His acquaintance with Felicia Hardy began at a freshman dance. Because I didn't have many friends at school, I attended the freshman dance that day.
Everyone else was swaying on the dance floor with their partners in their arms, but Peter was the only one watching from the side. In fact, Peter has no interest in such activities. The reason I participated was simply because I could earn certain credits by attending the freshman dance! So Peter went there that night purely for the credits and had no intention of dancing at all. But what he didn't expect was that an accident happened at the dance that day. The protagonist of this accident is Felicia Hardy. Because Hardy was born with a strange head of silver-white hair, she was ostracized by her peers since she was a child. Because she was excluded and bullied by her classmates for a long time, she developed an introverted personality. The more withdrawn her personality became, the fewer friends she had. The fewer friends she had, the more she was ostracized and bullied, which put her into a tragic vicious cycle. And at the dance that night, she was bullied by her classmates again. This made Peter angry, so he fought against those who bullied Hardy. Although the final result was that Peter was pinned to the ground and beaten. But because of this, I became friends with Hardy. However, three months after they became friends, Felicia Hardy disappeared. After that, he never saw the other person again until now. It is precisely because of this that he was so surprised and unbelievable when he recognized the woman in front of him as Hardy. "Peter, it's a long story." Felicia Hardy seemed to be hesitant to speak. "If it's inconvenient to say, don't say it." Although he didn't know why Hardy left without saying goodbye after knowing him for three months, he didn't know where Hardy went. But he was not stupid. The fact that the other party would appear at this time and save his life could not be explained by a simple coincidence. And in other parallel universes, Hardy is not an ordinary person. She is one of Spider-Man's lovers and the anti-hero Black Cat. Therefore, it is normal for the woman in front of him to have an extraordinary identity in this world. In addition, the other party was obviously unwilling to say too much, so there was no need for him to ask more. Since Hardy saved me, it means she has no ill will towards me, at least not yet. In this case, he doesn't need to be so anxious. The most important thing now is to heal his injuries. "You saved me, I owe you a huge favor!" "It's not that serious. You saved me at the dance that year, so we're even now." "It's different. I just said something for you at that time." "Not only that! You even took a beating for me."
"." "Can we not talk about the embarrassing things that happened back then? It's so embarrassing!" "Is it embarrassing? I don't think so at all. I just think you were super manly at that time!" "Ahem, is that so?" Peter blushed slightly when he heard Hardy say that. "Yes, manly ones are not okay." Hardy said as he slowly approached Peter. Seeing her like this, Peter's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He has been single for more than 20 years, and has never encountered such a situation! Smelling the faint scent of perfume coming from Hardy, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his back. This made him frown and take a breath, then he lay down on the bed with a painful look on his face. Seeing him like this, Hardy immediately asked with concern: "Does the wound on your back hurt?" Peter nodded. "The anesthetic I injected you can only last for one hour. Now that the time is up, the effect of the anesthetic has begun to wear off. If you really can't stand it, I can continue to inject you a little bit. Do you need it?" Hardy asked with concern. Hearing Hardy say this, Peter gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, I can still hold on!" Hearing this, Hardy nodded, then walked aside and poured him a glass of water. But at this moment, her cell phone rang. When she picked it up and took a look, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. But this subtle change in her expression did not escape Peter's eyes. "Sorry, I have to go out and answer the phone." Hardy looked at Peter with a smile and then walked into the kitchen. She returned a moment later. "Peter, I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to deal with, so I have to go. You just stay here for the next two days! Here are the keys and the new clothes. There's food in the refrigerator, enough for you to eat for a week, but I should be back in a few days. If you believe me, don't go anywhere during this period of time, stay here and recuperate, and wait for me to come back!" After saying that, Hardy left without looking back. Although I don't know what Hardy is going to do, judging from the serious expression on her face just now, the so-called urgent matter should not be a simple matter. But now Hardy is a mystery in his eyes. He knows nothing about it. Since he can't figure it out, he simply stops thinking about it. Because for him, there is something more important to do at this moment. With this thought in mind, he endured the pain in his back and sat up from the bed, then slowly put on the new clothes Hardy bought for him.
After putting on his clothes, he walked to the window and looked out to confirm his approximate location and see if there were any suspicious people. Seeing that everything was fine, he walked out of the room, went downstairs, took a taxi and headed towards his former home. However, for his own safety, he did not get off the bus and go home directly. Instead, he asked the driver to drive around the road in front of his house twice. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he dared to get out of the car and go home. When he returned home and looked at the familiar room, every detail of Peter's life here kept flashing through his mind like scenes from a movie. But after a moment, all those beautiful pictures disappeared, replaced by the picture of Aunt Mei lying in a pool of blood. Although he was not the real Peter Parker, this still made him furious. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his fingertips seemed to be digging into his flesh. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you kill those guys." Peter murmured to himself, his eyes full of determination. I went up to the second floor and walked into my room. Without wasting a moment, he opened his closet and took out all the clothes inside. Then, at the very back of the closet, there was a small secret compartment. He reached his hand into the secret compartment, and after a moment he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief because the things he had placed there were still there. He took out something, which was a palm-sized iron box. Inside the box was a bottle of green medicine and a piece of paper filled with formulas. This piece of paper is the basic formula for cross-species gene migration and fusion left by Peter Parker's biological father. Of course, this so-called basic formula is just a theoretical conjecture of Peter Parker's father and has not been experimentally verified. It was with this formula that Peter Parker wrote the academic paper that became famous in the genetics circle. At that time, Peter felt that he had fully understood the topic of cross-species gene migration and fusion. However, now that his intelligence has greatly increased, he knows very clearly that there were many problems in the paper Peter wrote. This so-called basic formula in hand actually has many unreasonable aspects, but even so, it is very awesome that Peter Parker's father could come up with such a theoretical conjecture! Of course, the other person's IQ is completely incomparable to his current one. It is no exaggeration to say that the gap between the two is a chasm. Therefore, this so-called basic formula is now no different from waste in his eyes. So without any hesitation, he burned the white paper with the formula written on it into black ash. After doing all this, he took the bottle of green potion, packed up some experimental equipment from his room and quickly returned to Hardy's shabby house. It was already 12 o'clock in the evening when he came back, but Peter didn't feel sleepy at all. Not only that, he placed the experimental equipment he brought neatly on the desk in the room. Then he put on gloves and glasses for chemical experiments, poured the bottle of green medicine into the test tube, and began a late-night experiment. And that bottle of green potion was the masterpiece of his former graduate supervisor, Professor Kurt Connors. The one-armed professor Kurt Connors was inspired by the lizard's ability to regenerate its tail after it was severed, so he extracted the lizard's genes and tried to regenerate human limbs through cross-species gene transfer and fusion technology, thereby allowing himself to grow a new arm. As his student, Peter naturally participated in this project, but they had conducted hundreds of experiments before, all of which ended in failure. In order to realize this technology as soon as possible, gain the power of the lizard and become stronger, Peter secretly took the experimental materials home for research.
But before he could succeed in his research, something like that happened, which cost him his life. So he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make himself stronger quickly. Fortunately, Peter still kept one last serum sample, otherwise he would not even have the chance to become stronger. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately devoted himself to research.
