When he was still far away, Peter noticed that the thick gray smoke was rolling into the sky dimmed by the setting sun, and dots of orange-red sparks occasionally burst out.
When he got closer, Peter saw a burning duplex apartment. The flames had spread to the second floor, and flames were spitting out of the broken glass windows.
A large number of police and fire personnel have been assembled at the scene, but no one dared to come forward.
The criminal with some kind of triggering device is threatening whoever dares to push the button to detonate another bomb hidden in the apartment.
The fire was caused after he detonated the bomb. Regardless of whether he pressed the button or not, when the flame burned to a certain extent, the excessive temperature would cause the bomb to explode.
On the high-rise building closest to the apartment, with an excellent overlooking angle, special forces snipers have already found a position and are ready to aim at the criminal's head. They are all sharpshooters who can never miss as long as the target appears in the scope.
But this criminal was very smart. He hid around the corner and used a phone to communicate with the police. These snipers did not find a chance to kill him.
Peter also had general information from the police's internal lines.
The bomber should be a worker in the mine, named Hunter. He is usually responsible for blasting and disintegrating hard rocks. He has the ability to make homemade bombs, but the purpose of the crime is still unknown.
The situation in the apartment was very complicated. Because it was working hours, most of the people inside were children and the elderly. The fire was still expanding, and the firefighters could only watch with anxiety.
The ambulance was also on its way. The Commissioner of the New York Police Department was personally at the scene and sent negotiators to negotiate with the criminals.
The scene is still deadlocked. Hunter's request is two hundred thousand dollars and a helicopter that can take him away. These are still on the way, but the people in the apartment can't wait that long.
Peter clung to the rough brick exterior wall, observing the form of the site from a high vantage point.
The ink in my head kept saying to stay away from the flames: "Oh no, no, no, no, I don't like places with fire."
It instinctively wanted to escape, but it was reluctant to leave Peter's body.
"As long as you keep quiet, you can have as much chocolate as you want."
"Deal." Ink couldn't resist the temptation and readily agreed. When it thought about enjoying those delicious chocolates, it couldn't help but emit brain waves that conveyed joy.
Peter said: "Then I will borrow your power to flash behind him and subdue him with one blow."
He thought about the appearance of the ink spider, and instantly the black sticky substance enveloped his whole body. As Peter activated his flash ability, it disappeared, leaving a pool of ink in its original position along the outer wall.
The characteristic of symbionts is that the stronger the host, the stronger the symbiont.
Peter has ink attached to him more than Connors, and his abilities cannot be generalized at all. Obviously, Spider-Man and the symbiote are better suited.
Even the ink itself couldn't imagine that it could be used like this.
Peter used flash continuously to avoid being noticed by Hunter or others in advance. He was not sure whether Hunter would have an accomplice secretly observing.
Insignificant ink marks were quietly left in every corner and location where no one noticed, on the covered trash can, under the fire truck, and in the shadow of the wall.
As long as it rains in New York, all traces will be washed away.
Hunter held the detonator tightly with a nervous look on his face, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead. Maybe it was because this place was relatively close to the fire scene, and he could already feel the burning smell and rising temperature in the air.
Suddenly he felt his hands being restrained, and a huge force ripped the detonator away from his hand and crushed his palm bones.
Hunter wanted to scream in pain, but found that his throat was tightly pinched by a hand and could not make any sound, so he couldn't stop twitching all over.
Peter said coldly and expressionlessly: "Let me ask you an answer, don't talk unnecessary nonsense. Do you have any accomplices?"
Seeing the abyss-like eyes of the ink spider, which seemed to be sucking his soul into it, Hunter shook his head in horror.
Peter said, "Where did you plant the bomb?"
"In the toilet...in the toilet...in the water tank...on the fourth floor..." he gasped.
Then he fainted. The pressure Peter put on him was too great, and coupled with his already nervous mood, his fragile nerves went on strike.
Peter stopped talking nonsense and tied him tightly with spider silk. Then he jumped outside and threw him in front of the police.
Peter told the police: "I have subdued him, let the fire brigade start putting out the fire."
Seeing everyone's confused and horrified expressions, he realized that he now looked like the Ink Spider instead of the Spider-Man that the New York police were familiar with.
So he took back the symbiote uniform, switched back to the original Spider-Man uniform, and said: "I am Spider-Man, act quickly, it is important to save people."
It was the police chief who reacted first and said into the intercom: "All units started to take action and cooperated with the fire brigade to put out the fire and save people. The medical team is always on standby. Once someone comes out of the fire, they will be sent to the hospital."
The team at the scene began to carry out various work measures in an orderly manner. The firefighters had already been extremely anxious. They had already connected the water hoses and were waiting to open the gates to release water to put out the fire.
Now they were all moving, the fire trucks spraying huge jets of water that washed over the exterior walls of the apartments to cool them down, leaving a hazy mist hanging around them.
The extended ladder gradually approached the edge of the top floor of the apartment, and the trapped people standing on the rooftop were rescued first through the ladder.
The firefighters in full gear were about to rush into the fire, but another figure quickly passed by them and disappeared into the billowing smoke first.
Peter was glad that when he made this new uniform, he had considered the situation when there was no oxygen, such as underwater or in space. His new uniform can provide an independent breathing module to support Peter's oxygen supply.
During the meeting at the emergency command center on the other side, a situation report from the police on the other side of the city was received via video.
"We found bomb-making tools and 30 grams of remaining explosives at the house of the suspect Hunter. We traced the black market seller from whom he purchased the explosives and found a purchase record of 200 grams of explosives named Hunter. Together with the explosives Also purchased were three sets of explosive molds.”
Someone was the first to react: "There are not one bomb but two bombs still in the fire scene."
The pressure at this time often piles up on the decision-making level, and the fire chief is the first to declare that he will save lives at all costs.
He could only silently pray for those young firefighters that they would come back alive.
