Loud footsteps approached from the distance, causing Gwen, who had been about to say something, to immediately turn her head.
Fortunately, it was only footsteps; the enemies who had noticed the commotion here were merely rushing back and hadn't shown themselves yet.
After understanding the situation, Gwen instinctively wanted to turn and take Luca to escape.
However, when she turned her head back, she discovered that Luca, who had been behind her, had vanished in the short time it took her to look around.
"That coward!"
Gwen cursed under her breath.
In her opinion, Luca's disappearance in this situation could only mean that he had abandoned her and fled after hearing the footsteps.
Moreover, he might have even run away using that strange invisibility ability, which was why she hadn't noticed him immediately.
But fortunately, there was only one path in the sewer.
With enemies ahead, Luca could only have escaped through the corner where the enemies had come from earlier.
Gwen naturally had to follow that path to catch up.
However, due to this brief moment of distraction, at the end of the sewer, the enemies who had previously chased after the footprints reappeared.
Upon seeing Gwen, these individuals immediately raised their guns and began to fire without a word.
For a moment, the '噠噠噠' of gunshots echoed incessantly, making the somewhat empty sewer exceptionally noisy.
It was fortunate that Gwen's injuries were primarily to her body, mainly affecting muscle exertion and similar issues.
All of Spider-Man's unique'Spider Sense' abilities were not diminished by this.
Unless it was an unreasonable guaranteed hit like Luca's curveball, ordinary ranged attacks, as long as they weren't large-scale area denials, would be very difficult to hit Gwen, who could foresee danger.
She merely performed several seemingly ordinary dodges and weaves, and all the incoming bullets missed.
By the time these people got close, Gwen was already almost at the corner.
"Chase her! Don't let her escape!"
At the Captain's command, the other team members immediately followed.
However, it wasn't until the last two were about to pass him that the Captain reminded them.
"You two stay here and see if there are any survivors. Also, watch this mech suit and wait for us here!"
"Yes!"
The two subordinates immediately stopped, while the Captain and the others quickly pursued in the direction Gwen had disappeared.
However, before these people had run far,
One of the two who had been left behind suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "No?! How did this become one more?!"
This person had originally intended to follow his Captain's orders, stay here to treat his teammates, and guard the spoils of war.
Who knew that when his gaze fell to the ground, he discovered that there should have been six teammates guarding this area, but now there were seven fully armed individuals lying scattered on the ground.
Hearing his exclamation, the Captain, who had intended to continue the chase, also slowly stopped.
The two running ahead of him also slowed down immediately.
However, it was at this moment.
A 'corpse' that had been lying horizontally on the ground, seemingly dead beyond revival with even its helmet crushed, suddenly leaped up.
And with a powerful stomp on the ground, it instantly rushed in front of the person who had just spoken, at a terrifying speed far exceeding that of a human.
"You talk too much!!"
As he spoke, the figure arrived in an instant.
Then, this 'corpse' delivered a straight punch with its right hand, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind.
With a 'boom'.
The helmet of the guy, who hadn't even realized what was happening, exploded on the spot.
His entire face was caved in by a section, and he was sent flying backward with his face covered in shattered debris.
"Indeed, compared to punching, gripping can better unleash the power of Sweet Captivity."
After looking at his blood-soaked fist, Luca muttered to himself.
Yes, the guy lying on the ground disguised as a corpse was naturally Luca, that cunning scoundrel.
In reality, even with the physical enhancement from the electric stimulation of the [Swallowtail Outfit], Luca could not have run into the corner and disappeared the moment Gwen turned her head.
He had merely activated the ability of his Transformation Watch at the same time Gwen turned, scanned a corpse he had killed, and then used a projection to cover and disguise himself.
Originally, Luca had intended to lie there secretly, trying to see if he could wait for these people to pass by before ambushing them from behind.
If the timing was right, a charged-up, large-area 'Ion Decomposition Ball' might have been able to wipe out the entire group.
But who knew, the Captain on the other side not only left two people to treat the wounded, but even before everyone had run far, one of them discovered the anomaly on the scene.
In his helplessness, Luca could only choose to erupt and attack, taking out one first.
As for Gwen, who was being pursued...
Luca would definitely save her.
After all, he had just returned the'Spider Web Shooter' to her, and Luca still wanted to ask her for the 'Spider-web Fluid' formula.
If she were to be killed, Luca wouldn't know how long it would take to re-collect 'Conan 5/5' and decipher the 'Spider-web Fluid'.
However, if she were to get a bit more injured during the chase, Luca wouldn't care much.
Currently, besides the Captain, there were three fully armed enemies left.
The others had not noticed the anomaly behind them and had all chased Gwen around the corner.
Looking at the current situation, Luca casually shook his fist and said softly,
"Perfect, a big fish was left behind. I'll capture a live one first then~"
Saying that, Luca flashed a friendly smile at the four people opposite him.
However, he had not yet deactivated his transformation.
The blood-covered, shattered face scanned by his watch appeared somewhat terrifying to the people opposite.
Fortunately, these individuals were experienced special forces soldiers. Although they still didn't understand what Luca was, since he had already made a move, it confirmed he was an enemy.
These individuals immediately raised their guns in unison and began to fire.
Unfortunately, for Luca, who was already prepared, he merely exerted a slight force with his feet and darted horizontally.
Under the double enhancement of the [Power Enhancement Shoes] and the [Swallowtail Outfit], he moved like a ghost.
After quickly dodging the incoming bullets, before these people could even readjust their muzzles,
Luca had already lightly tapped the wall with his toes, rapidly changing direction and rushing towards an enemy.
This person was also experienced; at this moment, he didn't think about continuing to shoot.
He directly swung the submachine gun in his hand, smashing it towards Luca's head.
However, Luca merely raised his hand lightly and parried, with a graceful 'Wild Horse Parts Its Mane', deflecting the gun barrel aimed at his face.
Then, his right arm, uncontrolled by the [Swallowtail Outfit], suddenly extended, grabbing the neck of the enemy in front of him.
The next moment.
"Crack~"
The person in front of him was snapped at the spine like a chick.
And Luca calmly uttered,
"The first one~"
