Mary Jane's mouth opened, and she struggled to explain, "I was looking for Benny and... Peter, we're... neighbors. If something happens to them, Uncle Ben and Aunt May will be heartbroken..."
Felicia, her face full of worry, didn't notice the slight oddity in Mary Jane's tone. She said frantically, "I haven't seen him, he wasn't in the classroom just now."
"We have to find him. It'll be bad if he doesn't know there's a monster at school."
Hearing this, Mary Jane also nodded. Now wasn't the time to care about her worthless pride. Benny's safety was the most important thing!
Fortunately, even in the crowd, Benny spotted the two of them.
Both Mary Jane's red hair and Felicia's blonde hair were very noticeable. And with his hearing, he could also hear what they were discussing.
Seeing the two young girls about to turn back to find him, Benny quickly pushed through the crowd and walked towards them.
"Felicia, Mary Jane."
"Benny!"
Seeing him, Mary Jane and Felicia cried out in surprise. However, Mary Jane also noticed that Peter wasn't with him and quickly asked, "Benny, where's Peter? There's a terrifying monster in the school, we need to escape quickly."
"You two follow the crowd and leave. I'm going to find Peter."
Benny placed his hands on their shoulders and pushed them outward.
At this moment, most of the students had already evacuated.
Felicia didn't seem to want him to take this risk. She grabbed Benny's arm—her palm was cold, and slightly sweaty from fear—and quickly said, "This is too dangerous."
"Peter is my cousin, I can't abandon him," Benny said.
At the same time, a loud noise came from behind him—Connors charged like a train. His huge body pushed against Spider-Man, directly collapsing several walls, and then he disappeared from their sight.
Felicia was so scared she almost forgot to breathe.
"Is that Spider-Man?"
Benny nodded, then gave orders, "Spider-Man will hold off the monster. I'm going to find Peter, you two escape first. Mary Jane, take Felicia out!"
"But..."
Felicia still wanted to say something, but Mary Jane put her hand on her shoulder and looked at Benny seriously, "Be careful!"
"Don't worry."
Watching Mary Jane pull Felicia away, Benny turned back to the direction Connors and Peter had gone. They had already broken through the ceiling of the first floor, and in the second-floor corridor, the tall Connors grabbed Peter's small body with one hand and slammed him heavily to the ground!
The difference in strength was too great!
The original Lizard Man had combat power almost equal to Spider-Man, even stronger than Peter, who hadn't fully grown yet. And now, Dinosaur Doctor Connors, who had accepted the mutated gene, had his strength greatly enhanced on top of his original power.
Benny even suspected that his physical abilities might now be comparable to the Normal Hulk!
"This is not an enemy Peter can handle alone."
Benny rushed into the classroom, took out the serum, and glanced at his watch, but didn't activate it. Instead, he took out a red Spider Suit from his backpack—
Advanced Battle Suit Modified Version.
The blue parts on his body were replaced with black, and a large white spider pattern covered his entire body like a skeleton!
Last night, when he was surrounded by those monsters at Osborn's, Benny regretted not getting a web shooter sooner. So after returning from Kamar-Taj, he turned into XLR8 and quickly crafted a battle suit for himself.
He almost broke the family's sewing machine in the process.
As for the web shooters, they were still a bit rudimentary, but he could only update them later.
Quickly changing into the super battle suit.
Benny leaped out the window, raised his wrist, and shot out a web. His body shot out like a cannonball—
This was the first time he had swung on a web since gaining his spider superpowers. He had to admit, it felt really good, no wonder Peter loved to go out at night.
The suit's lenses didn't obstruct his vision at all. Benny accurately locked onto Connors in the second-floor corridor.
He grabbed Peter with both hands. His giant palm almost completely enclosed Peter's body. His ten monstrous claws tightened, intending to crush every bone in Peter's body alive!
"Ah—"
Peter let out a painful scream.
In contrast, Connors seemed much more composed. His protruding mouth was almost pressed against Peter's face, and his terrifying fangs were as long as half of Peter's face!
He sneered, "Poor Peter Parker, why are you opposing me?"
Peter couldn't say a word. If Connors had torn off his mask at this moment, he would have seen that Peter was already overheating. With his body being squeezed, the difficulty in blood circulation made him dizzy.
"You have no father, no mother... so lonely—"
Connors said sympathetically.
From today onwards, everyone in New York would become his kind, except for one person—Spider-Man.
"You will be the only anomaly, Peter, but don't worry, no one will look down on you for it," Connors comforted him, "because you're going to die here."
"He won't!"
Just as Connors was about to snap Peter's neck, Ben's voice suddenly rang out.
Connors immediately turned to look out the window as a red and black shadow streaked past!
WHOOSH!
With a force of over ten tons, Ben smashed through the glass like a meteor and fiercely kicked Connors on the shoulder, sending him flying.
"Also, he's not alone; he has a cousin!"
Ben landed after a flip, looking at Peter, who had collapsed on the ground as if falling apart after escaping.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a few broken ribs..." Peter grumbled. "If you had been any slower, I'd be dead."
"But you're not dead yet, are you?" Ben took out the serum and tossed it to Peter.
"I'll hold him off; you find a chance to inject him!"
"Wait, Benny..." Peter started to say, then stopped.
Ben thought Peter was worried about his safety. "Don't worry about me."
"No, I just found a problem." Peter looked at the thin needle on the serum, saying with a troubled expression, "This thing can't even pierce his skin!"
Ben: ...
"Sorry, when I made the serum, I only considered the possibility of Connors being the Lizard Man," Ben said helplessly. How could he have predicted the Lizard Man would turn into Dinosaur Man?
BOOM!
Connors leaped and heavily smashed through the ceiling, reappearing before them.
He opened his monstrous maw:
"Two annoying spiders?"
"I didn't know Richard had another child. Oh well—"
He gave up thinking, a cruel smile appearing on his monstrous face. "This is a good thing. Congratulations, Peter, you won't be alone on the path to death!"
Connors grinned menacingly and the next moment, he attacked like a beast!
The college entrance exams are over, everyone. How do you think you did?
I'm a bit late today, mainly because I had something to do during the day and don't have any drafts saved. Sorry!
