Chapter 16 The Slain Dr. Lizard
Chapter 16 The Slain Dr. Lizard
"Another day full of energy!"
The sun is shining brightly today.
The first thing Mark did when he got up was to find the hundred gold coins he had collected yesterday.
"Just as I expected, one hundred dollars!"
He grabbed a hundred yuan and rushed out of the room.
"Peter, let's go shopping today."
He had just opened his mouth when he saw Ben Parker and May looking at him with surprise.
"Mark, where did you get the money?" Ben Parker asked curiously.
Mark grinned. "I earned it by working."
Actually, there's not much difference between doing tasks and working.
Mei was overjoyed. "Child, you've found a job?"
"Of course," Mark laughed. "Don't worry, it's just odd jobs, it's not illegal and it's stable. You won't need to do part-time work anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ben Parker and May were completely excited.
The couple held hands, and as they looked into each other's eyes, tears gradually welled up in their eyes.
"That's great, Ben, our child is finally back to normal."
"Yes, our efforts are meaningful."
The two nestled together, gently stroking each other's graying hair.
Over the past three years, the mental torment has been the most devastating blow, more so than the physical exhaustion.
Now that Mark has been able to find a job, it means his condition has completely stabilized.
This is indeed a day worth celebrating.
However, unlike Ben Parker and May's excitement, Peter Parker was filled with worry.
He knew that Mark's condition had not improved at all.
Because he secretly looked into Mark's room last night, and that guy ran out again.
The hundred dollars was probably stolen from some unlucky guy.
Peter knew he couldn't help Mark right now, so he could only pretend nothing had happened.
So he forced a smile.
"Mark, you're amazing! Are you treating us to a big meal today?"
He gave Mark an approving look and continued, "I heard there's a Chinese restaurant that opened nearby, and the food is really good."
One hundred dollars is enough for a family to have a meal at a regular Chinese restaurant.
However, Mark shook his head.
"You've never had real Chinese food before, so Peter, go buy the ingredients, we're going to have a barbecue in the countryside!"
Peter: "????"
"You can cook Chinese food?" He scratched his head, not remembering that Mark had this skill.
Mark patted his chest and assured him, "Of course, I learned it when I was in the mental hospital."
Upon hearing this, Ben Parker and May were once again moved to tears.
Even in the mental hospital, he didn't forget to study.
Now who would dare say he's sick!
"Okay, let's go for a barbecue at the Botanical Garden in the Bronx," Ben Parker immediately decided.
Peter quickly reminded him, "You'll get fined for having a barbecue there."
"It's okay, I know a secluded spot."
Ben Parker looked at May with tender eyes.
"That's where we used to go on dates when we were young."
Upon hearing this, Mark understood.
"Then it must be very secretive." He nodded.
Peter was soon put in charge of buying the ingredients.
We have barbecue equipment at home, so we don't need to buy any more.
Add to that Ben Parker's twenty-year-old classic car.
Everything is ready.
set off!
Around noon, the family happily arrived at the botanical garden.
Led by Ben Parker, the group walked along a path to a meadow surrounded by trees.
The stream babbles, and the land is lush and green.
The scenery is beautiful.
"Great, this is it." Ben Parker said with a nostalgic look.
With Peter and Mark working together, the roof was quickly erected.
Next, set up the barbecue equipment and light the charcoal fire.
Throughout this process, Peter kept looking around, afraid of being discovered by the patrol officers.
He was very uneasy.
Lighting a fire here will result in a fine.
He has no money.
Mark, on the other hand, wasn't worried at all.
He leisurely skewered the meat and turned it over on the stove, sprinkling various seasonings on it from time to time.
As the smoke rose, the aroma of roasted meat quickly spread.
"Peter, do you like spicy food?" he asked.
Peter nodded absentmindedly, then shook his head.
"I don't eat it... Hmm, you can try it though."
He's such a contradictory person.
Mark sprinkled some chili on the meat and handed the grilled skewers to the other person.
Peter then handed the skewers to Ben Parker and Aunt May.
As a result, Mark's cooking skills were praised by the whole family.
But Peter became even more nervous.
Because he seemed to hear some sound.
"Someone's coming." He looked in a certain direction.
Mark looked up at the sound and saw the bushes rustling slightly; someone was indeed coming.
The next moment, a disheveled figure emerged from the bushes.
"It's him!"
Peter suddenly exclaimed, "Professor Kurt!"
"It's you guys!"
Professor Kurt, who had become a homeless man, was overjoyed to see Peter and the others.
"Although I was chased by those annoying agents for two days, God was on my side, and I managed to run into you guys even while hiding here."
Professor Kurt laughed excitedly, "Peter, this is your fate. You can never get rid of me..."
Before he could finish speaking, a stone hit him on the head.
"A generous gift of crab!"
Professor Kurt, who had no time to dodge, covered his forehead and cursed loudly.
Mark patted the mud off his hands. "Enough with the nonsense, you deserve to be killed."
Professor Kurt angrily pulled out the last remaining regeneration potion from his pocket, his smile twisted in a menacing grin.
"I hope you can still be as stubborn as you are now."
Seeing this, Mark said to Peter with a serious expression:
"Take Ben and Mei away first, leave this to me."
"No, kids, you go first, we'll deal with him." Ben Parker had already grabbed his weapon and stood in front of the group.
He's not some lazy bum who just coasts along.
Although he had seen the news and knew that Professor Kurt was a terrifying monster.
But men need courage.
He will definitely be able to protect his children and loved ones.
However, just as Professor Kurt was grinning maliciously as he injected the regeneration potion and transformed into a lizard man...
As the surrounding bushes rustled, a group of smartly dressed secret agents found their way over.
They surrounded the green lizardmen.
"Found you, Professor Kurt."
Coulson raised his weapon and aimed it at Professor Kurt.
Professor Kurt's face contorted with rage, revealing his ferocity.
"You brought this on yourselves."
"Giggle~"
In an instant, the green lizardman pounced into the dense forest, and the next moment he pounced out from another direction, his sharp claws aimed straight at Coulson's heart.
The whole process was so fast that ordinary people couldn't react in time.
The reason I was being chased by these agents was simply to avoid wasting the last bit of regeneration serum.
Now that Peter has appeared, he can't miss this opportunity.
"Be careful!"
Amid Peter's exclamation, Coulson tumbled to the side, narrowly avoiding a fatal attack.
But his left arm was still torn open by the claws, leaving it bloody and mangled.
At the same time, the agents immediately opened fire.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Clang clang clang..."
Bullets and lizard scales sparked wildly as Professor Kurt grinned and turned to pounce on Peter.
"Peter, you're mine now..."
At this moment, the green beast's face was filled with greed and ugliness, and Peter's terrified face was reflected in its pair of vertical pupils.
At this critical moment, a glimmer of light quickly appeared.
Then it became dazzling.
"Demon Hunter... Holy Light Fist!"
"What?!"
