------------------------------------------------
However, just as Jackson was taking a pistol-sized weapon from the compartment, preparing to hand it to the Hip-Hop Pirate for inspection, a graceful figure suddenly descended from the dark night like a silent ghost.
The moonlight fell on her, outlining her agile figure.
Gwen glanced at the familiar-looking 'anti-gravity gun' in the compartment, her eyes lighting up instantly, and then she said coldly:
"I suppose those robbers who robbed the ATM were definitely buying those weapons from you, right?"
...
[prestige points +18, +8, +8]
...
"Damn it, is it Spider-Woman?"
A person's name and a tree's Shadow—almost no one in New York doesn't know the name of Spider-Woman.
Especially after Gwen officially joined The New Seven and even formed a new CP with Homelander, it can be said that her reputation is...infamous!
Bald Pirate was the first to react. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at the Hip-Hop Pirate beside him, and angrily questioned:
"Is this your doing, kid? How dare you betray us?"
"Hey, calm down, man, I don't know what's going on either?"
Hip-Hop Pirate raised his hands in confusion, his face full of innocence, but before he could explain, Gwen on the opposite side had already shot a web from her wrist, precisely pulling the pistol out of Bald Pirate's hand.
The pistol arced through the air and fell far away into the grass behind.
"Which of you two is Adrian Toomes?" Gwen's eyes were like electricity, staring intently at the three, and she questioned again.
However, facing Gwen's questioning, Bald Pirate and Jackson exchanged an imperceptible glance. Then the former took an imperceptible step forward, using his broad body to block part of Gwen's line of sight, and at the same time said:
"You're looking for our boss? What a coincidence, he's not here tonight!"
"Where is he?" Gwen continued to ask, her tone becoming much colder, "And... where did you get the energy stones for these homemade weapons?"
"Oh, that..." Bald Pirate deliberately drew out his voice, while Jackson quietly slipped an 'anti-gravity gun' into his right hand, which had been behind his back. "Sorry, that's a trade secret, I can't tell you!"
Almost at the same time his voice sounded, he raised the 'anti-gravity gun' at Gwen, and a blue tractor beam instantly locked onto the unsuspecting Gwen.
Gwen felt a powerful force restraining her, and her body instantly hovered in mid-air, unable to move.
Jackson, hidden behind Bald Pirate, took the opportunity to rush towards Gwen.
Then, using a weapon that looked like an exoskeleton mechanical glove on his right arm, but with blue electrical arcs flashing at the front, he heavily struck Gwen, whose body was restrained by the tractor beam.
"Bang--"
Although Gwen, relying on her Spider-Sense, detected the danger's arrival in advance and protected her arms in front of her before the Impact.
But to her surprise, the mechanical glove, flashing with blue electrical arcs, instantly released an extremely powerful energy Impact at the moment it touched her arms.
The powerful force directly blasted Gwen's body far backward.
Her body arced through the air for a long distance, finally smashing heavily into the distant woods.
"Roar, Herman, did you see that? This 'Blaster Gauntlet' is super cool, isn't it?" Jackson pointed in the direction Gwen was blasted away, shouting excitedly.
"Idiot, get in the car quickly! That kind of Impact won't hurt Spider-Woman at all... If she catches us, we'll be miserable!!"
The Bald Pirate named Herman quickly scurried back into the driver's seat, his feet fumbling frantically, and then he stomped the accelerator to the floor. The van's engine roared, and it immediately sped off like an arrow from a bowstring, its wheels grinding against the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Hip-Hop Pirate on the side, seeing that things were bad, also followed with a look of fear, scrambling back into the car, and then fled in another direction.
"Jackson, contact the boss immediately, we need his support." Herman drove while constantly observing the situation behind him in the rearview mirror, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning White from the exertion.
When he saw Gwen's figure reappear, his heart instantly sank by half, as if a basin of cold Water had been poured over him from head to foot.
"Damn it, see what I told you? That kind of Impact has no effect on Spider-Woman at all!"
However, compared to Spider-Woman, what he truly feared in his heart was Homelander.
While driving, he silently prayed in his heart: God bless, may that lawless killing god, Homelander, not come here!!
"No, it's not that much trouble at all."
At this moment, Jackson, like a warmonger, rummaged through the compartment and pulled out a Chitauri Railgun. His eyes showed madness and disdain. He kicked open the rear door, aimed at Gwen, who was already chasing them with her webs, and said contemptuously:
"As long as we have these weapons, we can deal with that annoying little bug ourselves."
"F*ck, stop messing around, or you'll get us killed."
Herman shouted loudly while constantly looking back at Jackson, his face filled with anxiety and anger.
He really regretted now why he had come out with this idiot.
He should have changed 'teammates'!
However, no matter how much Herman tried to persuade him, Jackson still turned a deaf ear, his eyes filled only with madness, and then he stubbornly pulled the trigger directly at Gwen.
"Boom--"
The purple energy projectile whistled out, but due to the bumpy ride of the vehicle, it went off target, and the next second it directly hit a large tree in Gwen's forward swinging path.
The thick tree trunk was instantly blown to pieces by the powerful Impact, and wood chips flew out like steel needles.
But before Jackson could attack again, the weapon in his hand was precisely stuck by a web shot by Gwen. The web, like a flexible long whip, yanked backward, and the Chitauri Railgun flew out of his hand.
"Damn little bug, just you wait and see!!"
Jackson cursed in a low voice, turned around, grabbed another anti-gravity gun, and prepared to repeat the trick, using a tractor beam to control Gwen.
But who would have thought that he suddenly heard Herman, who was driving in the driver's seat, let out a cry of surprise, "WTF? What the hell is that big Lizard?"
Almost at the same time the voice sounded, the van, which had already reached at least 120 miles per hour, seemed to have hit a small mountain head-on.
The front part of the van instantly caved inward, the metal twisting and deforming, emitting a harsh sound.
And the compartment part was lifted high up by the huge inertia.
Jackson, caught off guard in the compartment, was directly thrown out. His body rolled dozens of times on the ground before he barely managed to stop.
When he came to his senses and struggled to get up from the ground, he finally saw what the van had actually hit.
It was a giant Lizard Man, as sturdy as a small mountain.
That's right, it was Gwen's most loyal guardian (and follower), Lizard Peter!!
Lizard Peter was covered in hard scales, glinting coldly in the moonlight.
Rip—
He casually tore open the completely deformed car door on the driver's side of the van, the sound of tearing metal being especially harsh.
Then he pulled out Herman, who was bleeding from his nose and mouth and completely disoriented, and turned to Gwen, who had landed steadily on the ground opposite him, and said:
"Do you need me to take these two to the police station?"
"Wait a moment, I have some questions for them."
Gwen raised her hand and shot a web, which, like a White hunting net, stuck Jackson, who had just gotten up, back to the ground.
Gwen's face was cold, her eyes holding a hint of chill, and she asked directly: "Tell me, where is that guy named Adrian Toomes now?"
"Hehe, little bug, you can't get anything out of my mouth... Bang!!"
Without any extra nonsense, Jackson's words were not even finished when he was met with a merciless heavy punch from Gwen.
Gwen's fist, carrying the sound of wind, landed heavily on Jackson's face.
His prominent nose bone instantly collapsed, and several front teeth rolled onto the ground along with the splattered blood.
This was the result of Gwen holding back ninety percent of her strength; otherwise, if she had hit him with full force, his head would probably have been directly blown apart.
Peter Parker, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but shiver at the sight.
Gwen is so fierce!
"I'll give you one last chance, where is Adrian Toomes?"
Although such petty thieves were not worth Gwen's deadly blow.
But if the other party still didn't confess honestly, Gwen, who had already lost her patience, wouldn't mind using the other party's blood to nourish the Hell Eight Spider Spears on her back, which hadn't tasted blood in a long time.
"Don't hit me, I'll tell... I'll tell..."
Jackson, truly feeling the crisis of death, his eyes filled with fear, was directly re-taught a lesson by Gwen's Iron Fist, changing his previous stubborn attitude, and said with a terrified face:
"Adrian Toomes is going to Brooklyn tonight to rob a Damage Control transport convoy."
"Damage Control?"
Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Gwen's brows furrowed slightly, and she pressed on: "What are they transporting?"
Jackson answered everything he knew: "It's the high-tech'scrap' and various damaged equipment left behind by the Chitauri Legion after the Battle of New York... Once we rob these things, we can develop new weapons..."
So that's how it is!
No wonder these high-tech weapons are so powerful.
Gwen then forced some more key information out of him regarding Adrian Toomes' true identity and the exact location of their 'hideout', then ignored the miserable-looking Jackson.
Instead, she turned to Lizard Peter, who was secretly looking at her back and daydreaming, and said:
"Peter, I'll leave their hideout to you. I need to go to Brooklyn now to stop Adrian Toomes' operation."
"Gwen... uh, I mean Spider-Woman, how about after I take these two to the police station, we go to Brooklyn together to stop Adrian Toomes, and then go clear out their hideout?"
Lizard Peter's face was full of worry, his eyes filled with concern, "After all, the energy weapons these guys use are very advanced, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone."
"Don't worry, I can do it."
Gwen said confidently, seemingly not noticing the difficult-to-hide look of disappointment on Lizard Peter's face.
"Whoosh--"
Gwen raised her hand and shot a web at a distant building, then lightly leaped into the air. In a few undulations, her graceful figure directly disappeared into the dark night.
"Alas..."
Lizard Peter looked in the direction Gwen disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
The aloofness his goddess inadvertently displayed sometimes really hurts!
But in just a second, he re-energized himself, and even started to PUA himself.
If she wasn't aloof, could she still be called a goddess?
My goddess abuses me a thousand times, but I treat her like my first love!
Although Goddess Gwen is used to being alone, at least when she needs help, the first person she thinks of is me, her good helper... Is that not enough?
Peter Parker, Peter Parker, you must remember one truth: don't be too greedy... especially when it comes to the goddess.
I believe that one day, Goddess Gwen will get used to my existence!
Yes, that's right, it must be like this!!
After unilaterally imagining countless warm scenes, the simp Peter... ah no, Lizard Peter, full of energy, clenched his fists and silently cheered himself on.
His eyes were once again filled with hope and determination!!
...
...
Brooklyn.
The night was deep, and silence enveloped everything.
On a secluded road in the suburbs, three large vans with the 'DC' logo painted on their bodies were driving along the designated route on the navigation towards the Damage Control warehouse.
The wheels of the truck rolled rapidly on the uneven road, making dull sounds.
As they passed an abandoned gas station, a somewhat obese man in a van parked by the roadside nervously swallowed, picked up the walkie-talkie, and quickly reported:
"Boss, the convoy has appeared, we can act!"
"Received."
In the dark night sky, a huge Shadow like a giant eagle swooped down, revealing itself to be a massive Mechanical Wings exoskeleton flying machine.
The steel-forged Mechanical Wings spread out in the night sky, like the wings of a demon, making whooshing sounds as they cut through the air.
And the person wearing this Mechanical Wings exoskeleton flying equipment was precisely Adrian Toomes, Adrian Toomes, whom Gwen was pursuing!
