Chapter 59, The Urban Legend of the Lizard Man
In a New York City subway station, two maintenance personnel were checking the safety of the rails and nearby facilities along the way.
Although one of them is not tall, he looks to be in his forties and very experienced. The other one was obviously a young man, thirty years old at most, and he listened patiently to the explanations of the old employees.
"Believe me, you will fall in love with this job. This is my experience of more than 20 years of work." "
Although it is a bit dark here, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the four seasons are like spring. You don't have to argue with your leader. , stay away from the troubles of office politics."
"The most important thing is that his salary is also good, for technical workers like us." The
old employee checked the distribution box neatly while looking at the new employee holding a flashlight next to him. said.
The new employee has been working for a few days and has a certain understanding of the work. Hearing the words of the old employee, he nodded in agreement and said: "Judging from the past few days, it seems that it is indeed better than my previous job." Much better."
"I used to work in the television industry. Not to mention I had to work overtime every day. My boss had a bad temper and I had to be scolded every day. It was simply unbearable."
Hearing the young man's answer, the old employee was also a little surprised. Said: "TV industry! You must know how to repair TVs. My TV always has ghost images." After hearing
what the old employee said, the young man also scratched his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't understand either. I used to be the supervisor of a TV station and was not responsible for this aspect."
"That's really a pity." The old employee also said after hearing this: "But compared to the supervisor of the TV station, this job is obviously better." "
Yes, yes. Yeah, no one will point at my nose and yell at me anymore." The young man also smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old employee opposite him looked horrified, pointed behind him, and said incoherently: "This... what is this!" The young man turned his head hurriedly and saw that there was nothing behind him
. In the darkness in the distance, a pair of red eyes were staring at them.
A gasping sound similar to that of a beast gradually amplified in their ears, and the red eyes got closer and closer to them with heavy footsteps.
"Ahhh! There's a monster! Run!" The old employee shouted in horror, then turned around and ran away with the frightened young man.
They used all their strength to run as fast as they could in their lives.
The subway line is connected to the sewer, and they just came down from a sewer on the side of the road.
Soon they ran to the place where they came down. The ladder was not long, and they got out of the sewer opening in two or two, rolling and crawling towards the car parked next to it.
The young man moved quickly and had already entered the cab and started to turn the key to start the car.
The old employee had just opened the passenger door, but another sewer manhole cover next to it was pushed open by a big hand covered with green scales.
The big hand grabbed his ankle and pulled him downward.
The old employee pulled the car door hard while shouting in horror: "Help me! He's holding on to my leg!" The
young man in the driver's seat also hurriedly took one of the old employee's hands and forcefully Pull him upward.
But the strength of the monster was beyond the comparison of the two ordinary people. Before the stalemate lasted for a few seconds, the old employee was pulled straight into the sewer.
The young man looked at the sewer opening where the old employee disappeared in shock. He had tried his best to pull him, but he still couldn't hold him.
He quickly started the car and drove towards the nearest police station, but the red eyes in the darkness just now appeared in his mind again, and fear made his hands somewhat inoperable.
Originally, he wanted to drive towards the police station, but his route became more and more crooked along the way. The more frightened he became, the more panicked he became, and the more panicked he became, the less able he was to control his direction.
The rampaging car forced many vehicles on the road to stop, and there were also many unlucky cars that he ran over or directly hit.
At this time, the young man finally remembered to step on the brakes, but no matter how hard he stepped, the vehicle would not slow down. It must be that the series of impacts just now caused the brakes to malfunction.
"Red eyes! Red eyes! Oh no! Stop chasing me!" The
extremely nervous spirit made the young man feel as if the monster just now was still following him. He could still see those terrifying eyes in the rearview mirror. .
At this time, the car had broken through several layers of fences and arrived on the road near the seaside.
At this time, a red and blue figure fell from the sky and landed directly on the roof of his car.
Such a loud commotion would of course attract the attention of Spider-Man. Peter had just been chasing the car from behind, but the speed of the car after losing control was really fast.
If it hadn't hit the vehicles and fences on the roadside to slow down the car, he would probably have to go directly to the sea to fish for people in a while.
"Hey! Sir! Calm down!"
"Keep your direction, don't rush towards the seaside, there are roadblocks on the roadside that slow down the speed, drive towards them, and then pull the handbrake!"
Peter lay on the roof of the car and stuck his head out Go to the car window and yell.
Seeing Spider-Man appear, the young man calmed down a little, but his hands still couldn't stop trembling, and his direction did not reach the side with the roadblock, but still rushed straight towards the sea.
"Damn it!" Seeing the critical situation, Peter also rolled down from the roof of the car, then pulled hard and threw out the driver's door.
The vehicle could no longer be controlled, and he had to ensure people's safety.
When he opened the car door and threw it out, the vehicle had already rushed off the road and was over the sea.
Peter also sped up his movements at this time. While pulling the young man up from the driver's seat, he used spider silk to stick to the guardrail next to the highway to prevent them from falling.
The vehicle had plummeted into the sea, causing a huge splash.
Peter pulled the young man and used the elasticity of the spider silk to jump back onto the road.
"Huh~" Peter put the boy on the ground, let out a long breath and said, "I hope your car is well insured, and I think you have to retake the driver's license. It's not good to drive a car like this." "
Red Eyes! There are monsters in the sewer!" The young man hugged his legs, still muttering in horror.
Listening to the young man's words, Peter also touched his chin and said, "Hmm~ Are you sure it's not your hallucination? The red eyes may be the red light emitted by the instrument." "No! Sir, I swear it's true!" The young
man He opened his eyes and said excitedly: "My companion and I had already ran out of the sewer, but he caught my companion back." "Okay, it seems we are in
trouble again." Peter touched his forehead He said with some worry: "There is really no peace in New York City for a moment." "
By the way, sir, please don't let the police blame this matter on me again." Listening to the approaching sirens, Peter said to the sitting man The young man on the ground said something, then shot out the spider silk and left.
He was originally going to work at the Daily Bugle, but this happened on the way, and now it seemed he would be late again.
