Chapter 40: Not Pulling a Train, But a Helicopter

In the speeding carriage of subway car number 7, Peter put down his phone.

The Natural History Museum was still two stations away.

Uncle Ben should still be on the subway, and there was a good chance Gwen was still in the museum.

"Crack!"

Peter frowned as he crushed a piece of metal debris on the floor.

The subway's braking system was completely damaged, and there was no hope of relying on the subway operating company to stop it.

Lifting his gaze, he looked towards the passengers in the other end of the subway car.

By now, the passengers inside the subway were also aware of the train's loss of control.

The terrified crowd let out desperate cries.

Many passengers began hastily writing farewell letters.

Sobs and wails filled the entire train, and a sense of despair permeated the crowd.

"Buzz~"

Just as Peter was lost in thought, his phone vibrated.

Opening it, he found a text message from Uncle Ben.

The message contained only a simple sentence - "I love you, Peter, I'm always proud of you."

Clutching his phone, Peter stood in place, silent.

Many passengers in the nearest carriage to Peter saw the mysterious superhero.

A Mexican woman holding a girl, mustering up courage, quickly ran through the chaotic subway car, ignoring the fierce winds blowing in through the windows on both sides.

The Mexican woman, tears in her eyes, looked at Peter.

She raised her head and handed the five or six-year-old girl in her arms to Peter.

Then, in heavily accented English, she said, "Sir, please, take her away, I beg you, sir!"

Perhaps knowing that Peter had the ability to take the girl to safety, the woman kept pleading with him.

The little girl in her arms also realized what was happening, her big eyes filled with fear and sadness, looking at her mother.

The red glow in Peter's white eyes gradually dissipated.

He stared at the mother and daughter in front of him, shaking his head slowly.

The Mexican woman was rejected, and a feeling of despair welled up in her heart as she lowered her head.

Next moment, Peter coldly said to her, "Leave this place, then tell everyone in the carriage to run towards the rear carriages, the farther, the better."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then realizing what Peter intended to do, she showed a grateful expression, and holding her daughter, she ran back.

Peter didn't care about the lives of these people.

The only thing he cared about was the safety of Uncle Ben and Gwen.

That mindset had never changed.

But in that moment when he saw the little girl's eyes, there was a slight disturbance in his heart.

He erased that emotion from his mind and shook his head slightly.

If he was going to be a bastard, then he shouldn't pretend to be a good person.

"Boom!"

The subway emitted a deafening noise as it continued to hurtle forward, getting closer and closer to the terminal station.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Countless black strands shot out from his wrists, bouncing off the buildings on either side of the subway.

The corrosive spiderwebs, like fishing nets, stuck to the walls and metal signposts on both sides.

"Bang!"

Peter's arms were immediately pulled by the countless strands on both sides, crashing backward.

With a "bang," his back slammed heavily into the subway car, causing it to deform.

"Ugh!"

Uttering a painful grunt, Peter felt a sharp pain in his back.

His arms were being pulled, causing excruciating pain as if being torn apart.

His muscles bulged all over his body, and the exoskeleton on his arms twisted and deformed.

"Smack! Smack! Smack!"

Due to the strong pulling force and the corrosive effect of the webs, the strands broke.

The metal and buildings were corroded by the webs, unable to act as deceleration ropes for long.

No!

Regardless of whether he possessed the super strength of Spider-Man, he couldn't hold onto the speeding subway.

Moreover, the corrosive nature of his webs couldn't be effective for long.

With a "bang," Peter descended from the deformed car wall he had collided with.

The intense pain from his pulled arms and the pain throughout his body made him kneel on one knee, gasping for breath.

Raising his head, his eyes glowing red, he looked up at the news helicopter above.

Having made up his mind, he took a deep breath and shot countless black spiderwebs from his wrists.

These webs, detached from his body, carried both corrosive and adhesive properties.

One end of the black spiderweb stuck to the buildings and metal signposts on both sides of the subway, while the other end stuck to the subway car.

Although the webs broke quickly due to their corrosive nature, countless strands could support for a considerable amount of time.

With a "bang," Peter jumped onto the subway car and aimed his webs at the news helicopter above.

The pilot, who was piloting the helicopter, hadn't reacted yet when the helicopter was pulled down by a tremendous force.

The bewildered cameraman, thankfully secured by a safety harness, would have fallen off otherwise.

"What's happening?!"

The cameraman shouted to the pilot.

"I don't know! Look. Look down there!"

The cameraman immediately aimed the camera downwards and saw a shocking scene that left him stunned.

"What the hell is this?!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the helicopter was pulled downward.

Peter shot out countless webs, holding onto the helicopter.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The powerful impact pulled him away from the subway car, crashing through the deformed car wall, amidst the flying metal debris, towards the second car.

The out-of-control helicopter was being pulled downward.

"Damn! This guy wants to stop the subway by pulling the helicopter! He's insane!"

The cameraman shouted in horror.

"Bang!"

Crashing through the sturdy metal car, Peter was pulled into the sky by the helicopter.

But the highly corrosive webs soon broke.

Peter shot out countless webs again, grabbing onto the news helicopter that was about to flee.

And this time, he also targeted the other two police helicopters.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of countless webs hitting echoed, as Peter's body was pulled back by the webs.

The bulging muscles made his eyes turn red, and he let out a low roar from his mouth.

The carriage suffered another disaster, being crushed and deformed.

To prevent his arms from being torn off, Peter used all his strength to wrap all the webs around a metal support inside the subway car.

He tried to use this metal support as resistance to counteract the helicopter's pulling force.

The corroded metal supports broke one by one and flew away.

Then, countless webs shot towards the helicopters.

The subway, being pulled, slowly decelerated amidst the "wailing" sound.

Passengers inside the subway and citizens watching the live broadcast were all stunned by this unprecedented scene!
