Alejandro drove the Corolla through New York City, speeding through the chaos.
New York City had over eight million people, and such a large population could unleash incredible destructive power when unrest erupted. Some rioters had already begun looting, taking advantage of the crisis. They were setting fire to cars parked on the side of the road, smashing the windows of shops and supermarkets, and frantically grabbing game consoles and sneakers.
Alejandro shot and killed a few who went too far. He received a message on the radio that the National Guard had begun entering New York City to maintain order.
This made him speed up. He didn't know how Professor Connors and the others were doing, and hoped they wouldn't run into the National Guard.
He had a bit of a headache. The first half of the plan had gone extremely smoothly, but he didn't know why things had suddenly gone haywire. The Lizardmen released were far stronger than Professor Connors.
He drove through the chaotic streets and finally saw the Osborn Building. A huge hole had been cut into the building's ultra-modern glass curtain wall. Gunmen were using pulleys and cranes to lower heavy experimental instruments from the hole, securing them in the containers behind heavy trucks.
Professor Connors was checking to see if the precision instruments lowered from the building had been damaged.
"How is it? No problems?"
Alejandro looked at Eclipse, who was in charge of the operation.
"No, Professor Connors triggered the biohazard alarm in the building, and everyone evacuated almost immediately. Most of the building's armed security were pulled out, and the few remaining weren't a match for us. We subdued them without much effort," Eclipse said.
He had often been in charge of operations under Falcon. This time, the operation was orderly under his command, and nothing went wrong.
"Some police came to ask about the situation, but I used the excuse of the group preventing Lizardmen risks and transferring experimental equipment to send them away. The Osborn Group still has influence in New York City, and those police officers didn't press the issue."
Eclipse pointed to the Osborn Group uniform he was wearing. After taking over the entire building, he ordered all the assassins to change into the uniforms.
Although the Osborn Group was on shaky ground, it still had influence in New York City. These police officers dared not interfere in the group's internal affairs, even if these experimental devices might have created Lizard serum.
Soon, the last piece of experimental equipment was slowly being loaded into a container.
"Go! We need to get out of here as quickly as possible! The National Guard has received orders and is preparing to seal off New York City! Take Interstate 78; the National Guard will be the last to seal off that exit because of manpower shortages."
Alejandro had some connections within the CIA and obtained the National Guard's lockdown plan.
Eclipse and his team changed the license plates on the heavy trucks and ripped off the Amazon logos, revealing the Carrefour logos underneath.
The trucks roared to life, avoiding several areas of severe unrest, and finally drove out of the lockdown perimeter before the National Guard could seal off New York City.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound suddenly came from the top of the Corolla. It was Broly, who had locked onto Alejandro's energy.
"How's it going? Everything go smoothly?"
He climbed into the car through the window.
"The objective was achieved, but it's completely different from what we planned."
Alejandro said.
"Ha, as long as the objective is met, that's all that matters. Besides, I've already taken out that weird guy. New York City is safe now."
Broly reclined the car seat, propped his feet on the window frame, and lay down. That guy was incredibly strange, exuding an oddness from every pore. But Broly was certain that the Kamehameha had hit him directly, completely obliterating his energy. There was no way he could have survived.
At Osborn Manor, Dr. Lada was a bit anxious; the serum he'd prepared had encountered an issue.
Norman Osborn had fallen unconscious after the injection. He had initially thought this was normal, as the test subjects at the New York City Veterans Hospital had also experienced varying durations of unconsciousness after receiving the serum.
Furthermore, the greenish-gray spots on Norman Osborn's skin were beginning to disappear, and his skin tone was returning to normal. The genetic disease that had plagued him like a persistent parasite was cured!
Unfortunately, Dr. Lada's joy didn't last long. Norman Osborn didn't wake up, and his coma far exceeded that of the soldiers.
Afterward, Norman Osborn's body began to waste away at an alarming rate, as if the mysterious genes injected into his body were devouring his nutrients.
The servants and butler in the manor had long been dismissed by Norman Osborn. Dr. Lada had to personally take care of the comatose man, giving him IV fluids to keep him alive.
If the benefits Norman Osborn had promised weren't so tempting, Dr. Lada would have abandoned him already.
Then, Norman Osborn's body began to change. His skin became increasingly tough, to the point where the IV needles couldn't pierce it.
Tiny, dense scales appeared on his skin, and sharp claws grew from his fingers.
He began to emit a powerful pressure. First, insects, then small animals like mice, snakes, and birds, all fled the manor in terror under this pressure.
The vast Osborn Manor seemed to have become a dead zone. The trees and nurseries were still lush, but not a single insect chirped or bird sang.
Dr. Lada decided to stay and observe the situation, given the changes caused by the Lizardman serum.
But the live broadcast on CNN completely broke his mental defenses. Those Lizardmen had shockingly escaped from the secret laboratory. The Osborn Group was finished!
Although the U.S. government wouldn't let it collapse directly, as the Osborn Group affected the employment of tens of thousands of people, splitting it up and reshuffling the management was inevitable.
Norman Osborn's promises were now impossible to keep.
Moreover, the Green Goblin had actually appeared in New York City, and a similar level of destruction to Mexico City might be repeated. Dr. Lada had already started gathering valuable items from the manor, preparing to escape to South America.
Boom!
A loud noise suddenly came from the basement of the manor.
"It's coming from the laboratory!"
Dr. Lada immediately identified the source of the sound. It was Norman Osborn, awake!
He shuddered, and the loot he'd gathered scattered across the floor. Before he could put the items back, heavy footsteps echoed from outside the door.
The sturdy wooden door was easily torn apart, and Norman Osborn's face, a grotesque mix of human and reptilian features, appeared before Dr. Lada.
He was chewing on something.
"Freddy, what are you hiding here? I've been looking all over for you!"
Dr. Lada's eye twitched. He recognized what Norman Osborn was eating: the reflective nuclide from the industrial CT scanner in the lab.
The industrial CT scanner emitted a tremendous amount of radiation to detect the internal structure of precision parts. Even ordinary people who got too close to the radiation source would experience dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. If held in the hand, the cells would be directly killed by the high-energy radiation, and the entire hand would be dead within minutes.
But Norman Osborn was now chewing and swallowing the radiation source as if it were chocolate.
Dr. Lada's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"I... I was preparing to go out and buy food for you, Master. The food in the manor has been eaten."
