[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

After Ruby regained consciousness, her first reaction was to find Peter's location.

"Peter?" She moved her little tentacles, trying to find her little brother in the dark light.

Soon, her vision returned to normal, and she saw the drenched boy lying next to her at a glance.

The wet hair was tightly attached to his pale forehead, and the water was dripping down his handsome but slightly immature cheeks. Those clear and beautiful eyes had been tightly closed at this moment, only the faint heaving and falling of his chest Proof that he is still alive.

Ruby saw the scars on his back burned by the fire at a glance. The blood and river water condensed together, dyeing the ground dark red.

"Oops!" She thumped in her heart, and rushed into Peter's body without saying a word, "It's so hot! Damn, he has a high fever."

"The wound is not fatal, save him quickly, otherwise he may not be able to recover if he is seriously infected," the system said.

Ruby was about to use her healing skills when she suddenly remembered a matter of life and death.

"It's broken..." Her pupils trembled, "All my energy is used to save Uncle Ben!"

The system smiled: Look at the energy yourself.

Ruby glanced at the system panel in despair, but was shocked to find that her energy was not zero.

Energy: 2800.

Ruby: "This...how is this possible?"

Surprised, she subconsciously glanced at Peter's character panel.

【Peter Parker (Class S)】

Bewitching degree: 0%

Fit: 100%

……

Ruby's eyes widened, staring blankly at the two numbers that were as dazzling as medals on the character panel, and for a moment she even suspected that she was dreaming.

She suddenly remembered.

She remembered what happened after she was injured by the ultrasonic wave. Although she was already unconscious at that time, she was not completely unconscious, and she still had a certain degree of perception of the outside world.

She remembered Peter's firm and powerful arms when he hugged her at that time, his slightly immature voice in the stage of changing voice, and the leap that was desperate.

He said he would protect her.

Just like the promise he made to her back then - the promise she once took as a joke.

Ruby was very moved: ... System, he is such a good boy! !

System: If you don't help the good boy, he will become a dead boy.

Ruby came back to her senses, quickly activated her healing ability, began to heal the wound on his back, and helped him drain the water from his lungs.

She said triumphantly: "Oh, I have a very accurate eye for people, and I knew this was a potential stock. You see, what a wise decision it was for me to choose him without hesitation."

System: "It really shines if you give it some sunshine. Isn't it because you have only met him with an S rank in such a long time? And you chose him without hesitation... It's as if you have a choice."

Ruby: "...Don't tell me if you see it through, we are still good friends, wait, this feeling of healing seems a bit strange..."

Ruby suddenly felt an abnormality. She felt that when she healed Peter's wound, she felt much better than when she healed Uncle Ben, and the healing speed far exceeded the level of normal people.

"It's weird..." Ruby said, "Something seems to be changing in his body... The cell activity is different from before, and it's still getting stronger."

The system scanned Peter's body and concluded: "His body is undergoing mutations."

Ruby froze for a moment, and was shocked: "Could it be that he was infected by me? Is he going to become a slime too?"

System: "...No, it seems that some kind of biological toxin was injected into his body, a kind of radioactive infection, I don't know, there is no relevant record in my database."

Ruby: "Is there any danger?"

System: "For the time being, it seems that it won't be possible."

Ruby didn't speak anymore. She felt the mutation in Peter's body, and carefully made some protective adjustments, lest the mutation go too far and cause any adverse effects on Peter's body.

……

Peter felt terrible.

He seemed to have fallen into some kind of strange dream, being burned by a raging fire in the depths of the cold pool, hot and cold.I don't know how long this painful feeling lasted, and suddenly it seemed to escape from hell, as if being put into a warm and comfortable spring water.

He opened his eyes drowsily, trying to regain consciousness before his eyes could focus.After he got his mind back, the first thing he did was look for the little white symbiote.

"Ruby...?" He opened his mouth to call her name, but felt that his throat was too dry to make a sound, so he could only shout in a breathy voice.

Ruby quickly popped a little head out of his body: "I'm here, Peter!"

Peter looked down at those familiar red eyes, saw the small mouth of the symbiont talking, he couldn't hear clearly, his mind was dizzy, so he hugged the symbiont Living body, rubbing her soft and cool body, which made him feel a lot more comfortable when he was running a fever.

Peter simply hugged her tightly like a pillow, then found a stone on the river bank, and sat up against the stone.

"Ruby, is it cold?" He asked Ruby.

He could feel the strong wind by the river, and it was already winter. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting densely and penetratingly, making people's exposed skin painful. In the suburbs, the lower reaches of the river, the Atlantic Ocean is not far away, and there is not even a place that can shelter from the wind.

Peter himself didn't feel too cold. He had a high fever and felt groggy and uncomfortable everywhere. The cold was the least important feeling.

But he thought that maybe Ruby would feel very cold, so he hugged Ruby in his arms, trying to protect her from the knife-like wind.

Ruby certainly didn't feel cold.

She opened her body, and used her soft and resilient body to help Peter set up a barrier to block the damp and cold wind.

She is still constantly consuming energy to help Peter heal his wounds and balance the mutations in his body, lest his scarred body can't bear it.When Peter was in a daze, he felt that the wind that was blowing everywhere suddenly stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became warmer. He opened his eyes and saw the barrier protecting him, and lowered his head to look at the obedient little Communist lying in his arms. organism.

"It's okay, Peter." Seeing that he was in a daze, Ruby comforted him, "Go to sleep, it will be fine when you wake up."

The biological toxins in his body have already begun to combine with the cells. Judging from the current situation, not only will there be no danger, but it will also allow his body functions to reach a level far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Thank you, Ruby," Peter said, his voice barely audible, "It's good to have you here."

Perhaps it was Ruby's words that gave Peter a great sense of security, or maybe he was so tired that he fell asleep quickly, but he never let go of the hand holding the little symbiont. She hugged her chest tightly.

Ruby didn't bother him, and stayed with him quietly, motionless, but she didn't dare to fall asleep, and she looked after Peter all night, for fear that something might happen to his body.

Fortunately, no problems arose.

……

I don't know how long it took, the mutation in Peter's body finally ended, his fever slowly receded, and the burned wound on his back was completely healed under Ruby's healing.

He opened those clear and beautiful eyes like glass.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he fell into the ruby-like bright eyes of the small symbiont, and he heard the melodious and clear voice like a baby bird saying: "Good morning, Peter."

"...Ruby?" Peter took a while to realize what happened last night, and he asked, "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Ruby said, "But you, if you don't answer Aunt Mei's calls, she will really call the police."

Peter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the phone from his pocket: "Wow, it's still working after being soaked in water... Oh my god, it's already six o'clock! Aunt Mei must be dying of anxiety!"

He quickly called back.

"Hey, Aunt Mei...ah, I, I'm fine...Uncle Ben..."

After a while, Peter hung up the phone with a blank face.

Seeing his expression, Ruby's heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "Peter, Uncle Ben..."

Peter seemed to be stunned for a moment. He took several deep breaths and then hugged Ruby. His strengthened arms almost crushed Ruby into a barbell that was thick at both ends and thin in the middle. .

"Uncle Ben's all right!" he said, almost crying. "He's all right. The operation was a success. He's out of danger! Thank you, Ruby!"

Ruby quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and roared super angry and fierce: "At this time, don't take your breath away, okay! I was almost scared to death!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm just so happy..." Peter smiled foolishly, and suddenly realized after a while, "Huh? What's going on, why don't I seem to be sick?"

He remembered that he was still suffering last night, the pain was so painful, why did he feel better when he woke up?

Peter touched his back subconsciously. He remembered that his back was burned by the flames from the gas explosion at that time.

He was ready to touch a bloody wound, but he didn't expect that the place where he started was smooth and there were no wounds.

Peter froze for a moment, and immediately understood what had happened to him in the past two days.

In this case, who else can help him except the small symbiosis?

He looked at Ruby with a full face of emotion: "Ruby, you saved me, right? God, I can't even imagine what I would be like without you... Thank you so much!"

Ruby raised her head and looked seriously at Peter's still teary eyes, while slowly putting away the barrier built by her body, she said:

"No, Peter." She looked at Peter's character panel that had reached a [-]% fit, and said with a smile, "You saved yourself."

At this moment, the rising sun slowly spread out from the end of the sea level, and the golden halo penetrated the metal jungle in Manhattan, falling on Peter's body gently and comfortably, for his pure eyes. The eyes were plated with a layer of bright and dazzling gold.

They looked at each other, and at this moment, they both felt that something was starting to build between them.

Unbreakable, indestructible.

……

At the moment, on the other side of New York.

Steve opened the curtains, looked at the rising sun and the little golden keys hanging on the window, and showed a nostalgic smile.

"Good morning," he said softly.

The radio next door is playing the morning news:

"At about nine o'clock last night, a gas pipe exploded in an abandoned bioscience research center in Osborne Industries, killing two people. The identities of the deceased are currently being investigated. Regarding this, Mr. Norman Osborne said that the The Biological Science Research Center has been abandoned for half a year, and there is a warning line outside the building, and the general public has been reminded many times not to enter at will..."

"Crack." Steve turned off the radio.

Just as he was about to put on his coat and make breakfast, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Steve picked it up and saw that it was a message from Natasha.

"Last time you told me that if there is news of the white shadow, I will tell you as soon as possible, so I came to you, I hope you have already woken up."

A video follows immediately below.

Steve froze for a moment, then looked up at the key shining in the rising sun, his heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started beating.

He took a deep breath and clicked into the video.
