Chapter 83: | The Godly Ninja Spider

Peter gently pushed open the door, holding a stack of documents, and saw a middle-aged man in a white research uniform packing up his things. He said, "Dr. Connors, are you leaving today?"

The middle-aged man had gray-white hair, looked a little haggard, and, more importantly, his right arm was empty under his research uniform, indicating that he only had one arm.

"Oh, it's Peter? Yes, the research collaboration has ended, and I have to leave," Dr. Connors replied.

Peter gently placed the documents on Connors' desk and whispered, "I'm sorry, if I were a little more skilled, maybe we could have made some progress before the end of the research."

"You're already very skilled," Dr. Connors said kindly. "You're just a high school student, but you're smarter and work harder than the research students I've seen before. If I could, I would like to write you a recommendation letter."

"Thank you, but I haven't decided which university to attend yet, and I still have some time before I go to college," Peter said, moving his lips.

"Then where do you plan to go next? The serum research has reached the final stage, and it should be able to be completed with a similar laboratory," Peter asked.

Dr. Connors looked around his office and said, "There won't be any place with hardware conditions as good as Stark Tower. When they invited me, I was attracted to the hardware conditions of the laboratory here, which is why I agreed to come."

He packed up his things with his remaining hand and said, "But it's okay, as you said, the experiment is at the final stage. With a little more effort, I can succeed."

"By then, maybe not just me, but many people can regain their arms. I know many people lost their limbs in the war, and the military's financial support can barely sustain them. Those prosthetics are too expensive. If there really is a regenerative serum, they can become normal people again," Dr. Connors said excitedly, leaving a deep impression on Peter during his internship.

Originally, Peter was not interning in this research group, but when he was running errands for the group leader, he met Dr. Connors, who had just been invited by the military to participate in the Stark medical research collaboration.

Seeing him for the first time, Peter was very surprised because Dr. Connors had only one arm. But this did not hinder his scientific research at all. He had a brilliant mind and was considered one of the world's top experts in bionics and serum technology research.

Peter was greatly shocked because even people with all their limbs intact might not achieve such high accomplishments. So he applied to be transferred to Dr. Connors' research group.

After all, he also mutated after being bitten by a spider, and he wanted to figure out what exactly caused this mutation.

Peter was very smart and diligent, although he had a bit of a bookish tendency. But he was the kind of kid who teachers liked the most. Soon, Dr. Connors liked this young intern too.

From Connors, Peter learned that he was originally a military doctor and a veteran. It was on the battlefield where he lost his arm, but this did not stop him from pursuing his scientific research.

On the contrary, he took a different path in medicine, started researching the role of serum in living organisms, and achieved quite impressive results.

When he was Dr. Connors' assistant, Peter also learned a lot about biology. After obtaining the spider mutation, Peter's brilliant mind turned even faster. With two geniuses working together, the research speed naturally soared.

But just when they were only a little bit away from completing the project, the collaboration between Stark and the military ended, and these researchers had to leave the Stark building.

Previously, there was a group of bank robbers, all of whom were experienced. There were three or four people just watching them. Peter had fought them before, but as soon as his figure appeared on the horizon, the group of people disappeared instantly.

Later, Peter used the sewer tactics to catch them off guard. Before they could transfer the bags of cash to their car, Spider-Man crawled out of the nearest sewer cover at the street corner and punched the engine of their escape car, rendering it useless. The robbers were then caught by him.

Now, Spider-Man has discovered the convenience of the sewer. For him, it is like a fast elevator that can reach any location in New York at any time.

In this way, Peter began to pay attention to the construction of the sewer.

New York's sewer was built early and has undergone countless renovations. There are almost no maps that can accurately draw all the sewer routes.

So Peter decided to personally explore all the sewers and draw a map of the routes.

Anyway, he was not busy with his studies, had plenty of time, and was fast. He could cover half of the city in a day.

Today, Peter is wandering in the sewer with a map in his hand, marking the structure of the sewer with a marker.

He was concentrating on drawing and didn't pay attention to the ground under his feet. His spider sense suddenly tingled and he noticed that a brick was protruding from the ground. If he continued to ignore the road, he might trip over it.

So Peter put down the map in his hand, intending to finish exploring this area first.

And just then, he noticed a small detail that was different.

Generally speaking, most of the sewers in New York are not frequented by people, and the ground is covered with various slippery moss and grime. But here, the moss seemed to have been cleaned by something.

Peter walked to the junction of the wall and the floor tiles, and found a tiny bit of white powder. He leaned in and sniffed it, realizing that it was an acidic substance, as if it was specifically used to clean moss.

Who would have nothing better to do than come here to clean the floor? Peter wondered. Even he wouldn't want to stay in this dark and damp place if it wasn't for fighting crime.

He continued to follow these traces and soon discovered signs of activity in a long-abandoned sewer maintenance room.

It was easy to deduce that there was a smell of burnt fuel here, indicating that someone had made a fire here. Peter glanced at the iron door of the maintenance room with his keen eyesight and saw signs of someone living inside.

Peter didn't use violence to break down the door, as he knew it would likely be discovered. He didn't have any lock-picking tools on hand either. So he took out his map and marked this spot, planning to come back with some tools in a few days to take another look.

Regardless of who this person was, it was really strange for them to come and live in the sewer. If they were a good person forced to hide in the sewer, Peter was willing to help them. If they were a bad person, then Peter could take care of them.
