Chapter 140: Restoring the Equation (9/15, Bonus Chapter)
Even if he really was a gecko, he couldn't possibly stick to the wall after losing both hands.
A few seconds after falling to the sewer floor, Doctor Lizard's hands grew back, and he continued to brandish them at Rogge.
Just when Rogge thought this guy wasn't going to give up, Doctor Lizard did something he didn't expect.
He turned around decisively, and then ran!
The instinct of a beast drove Doctor Lizard to attack Rogge, and now, the same beast instinct drove him to flee.
A strong desire to survive allowed Doctor Lizard to burst out with amazing speed, quickly disappearing around the corner of the sewer.
New York's sewers are much more complicated than the streets.
In this maze-like sewer network, there are all sorts of unknown turns and corners.
As long as he can successfully create distance, even if it's just for a short time, he can get rid of Rogge.
The ideal is full, but the reality is skinny.
Doctor Lizard's escape speed is indeed very fast, but Rogge's speed is even faster.
Seeing Rogge getting closer and closer, Doctor Lizard's potential was further stimulated, and he began to accelerate again.
Run, run like crazy!
Not fast enough, even faster!
Doctor Lizard showed a speed that was completely inconsistent with his current size, running desperately like a mad bison.
However, he would never have imagined that Rogge was deliberately suppressing his speed at this time.
He didn't want to catch up with Doctor Lizard. If he remembered correctly, Doctor Lizard's condition wasn't stable.
As long as the serum's effectiveness is completely exhausted, Doctor Lizard will return to human form.
Doctor Lizard, whose mind has been affected by the serum, is not a suitable conversation partner. He is waiting for Doctor Lizard to turn back into Curt Connors.
Under his deliberate expulsion, the serum's effectiveness in Doctor Lizard's body was rapidly consumed.
Seeming to realize that he had no hope of getting rid of Rogge, Doctor Lizard stopped his meaningless rampage and turned to face Rogge.
"What exactly do you want?"
Doctor Lizard did not attack Rogge, but roared in a helpless tone.
"I told you before, you are my mission target, and I need you to complete the commission!
But before completing the commission, I need you to do me a small favor!"
Rogge's tone was as calm as ever.
"Come with me!"
After saying that, Doctor Lizard ignored Rogge and walked directly towards his secret laboratory.
After following Doctor Lizard and turning left and right in the sewer for a while, Rogge saw Doctor Lizard's simple laboratory that looked a little shabby.
Not long after returning to the laboratory, Doctor Lizard turned back into Curt Connors under his nose.
"Put this on, I'm not used to talking to naked men!"
Rogge threw a white coat on the table to Connors.
After putting on his clothes, Dr. Connors sat directly on the only chair and said, "Speak, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Two things! First, I will hand you over to the people of Osborn Group! Second…"
Rogge hadn't finished speaking when Dr. Connors interrupted him: "Aren't you an Avenger from S.H.I.E.L.D.? Is this a deal between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Osborn Group?"
"I'm not from S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm not an Avenger, and I have nothing to do with Osborn Group!
As for whether there is any deal between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Osborn Group, I don't know and don't want to know!
You, just listen carefully, don't interrupt me!"
After confirming that Dr. Connors fully and thoroughly understood what he meant, Rogge continued: "Osborn Group gave me a commission, so I have to hand you over to them, whether you want to or not, this is your ending!
As for whether you can escape from Osborn Group, that's your business!
The second thing, do you remember Richard Parker? You are both experts in the field of cross-species genetics. The difference is that one of you studied spiders and the other studied lizards!"
"Of course I remember him. He was a genius scientist, but unfortunately an accident took his life."
Dr. Connors certainly remembered Richard. They had a lot of dealings when conducting cross-species genetic research.
"If I give you a blood sample that can perfectly integrate Richard Parker's mutated spider, can you restore Richard Parker's equation and make appropriate modifications?"
It would be too boring if there was only one Spider-Man in this world.
And who said Spider-Man can only be male? Spider-Gwen and Silk are both female.
"Restore the equation? Richard's research has not been completed at all. The mutated spider he researched cannot be used for any species experiments!"
Dr. Connors knew very well how far Richard's experiment had progressed. There are a large group of Richard's mutated spiders in Osborn Group now.
But those mutated spiders have no experimental value at all except for their own mutations.
"No, he succeeded, it's just that you didn't find the right key!"
Rogge gave a blockbuster news that Dr. Connors never expected.
Richard succeeded?
How is this possible!
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Osborn Group has tried all kinds of species, and those mutated spiders can't fuse with any species at all!"
Dr. Connors said excitedly, not believing the news Rogge gave.
"Believe it or not, I just want to know now, if there is such a blood sample, can you restore the equation?"
Looking at Rogge's serious look, Dr. Connors began to think seriously.
"If you really have such a blood sample, I should be able to restore the equation!
However, why should I help you?
You are going to hand me over to the people of Osborn Group, do you think I will still help you restore the equation!"
Although Rogge hadn't said it clearly, Dr. Connors had roughly guessed something after recalling what he had said before.
"You will definitely help me!
There are two reasons!
Your equation is not stable. Richard's equation can allow you to improve your own equation and truly restore your right hand!"
Rogge pointed to Connors' empty right arm before continuing: "Second, you actually don't have the right to choose!
When I hand you over to Osborn Group, if you are lucky, they will continue to let you conduct research, but you will lose your freedom and become a tool of Osborn Group.
If you are unlucky, you should be very clear about what your fate will be, I won't say more, after all, you are an expert in this area.
But, if you are willing to help me, then you are my friend.
For friends, I usually help them solve some problems that they can't solve.
For example, to keep them from being bullied, or to have freedom!"
After speaking, Rogge stopped talking and silently waited for Dr. Connors' answer.
PS: Some settings from The Amazing Spider-Man are used here. After all, the Spider-Man story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is too thin, and Doctor Lizard has come out, so, you understand…
I thought about it before sending it, let's count this chapter as a bonus update. Today's two guaranteed chapters will be sent out in the evening…
Considering the apprentice's all-night update, please give the apprentice a few monthly tickets…
