Chapter 175: The Outdated Hero Spider-Man ( words, please subscribe)
On the big screen in the square, scientists invited by the host were talking about their ideas about an artificial moon.

Under the neon lights, Gwen flew and landed on the billboard.

She looked at the giant island rising in the night sky, and her inverted triangle eyes shrank slightly.

This is the new S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

With almost unlimited energy, SHIELD's headquarters finally became one of New York's iconic buildings.

The technological breakthrough brought about by the successful artificial sun experiment is far more shocking than imagined.

The high-tech weapons that police officers are equipped with today have made superheroes useless.

Ordinary super criminals are no match for high-tech weaponry.

George's life has been pretty full lately.

Gwen, who became Spider-Man, hasn't caught any criminals for a week.

"Boom~"

While she was thinking, the sound of sirens roared past, and a police aircraft converted from a police car flew through the tall buildings at high speed. The air waves it created along the way lifted Gwen's hood.

Looking at the police aircraft flying away quickly, Gwen put down her hand that had just been raised.

She couldn't catch up with the aircraft at her speed.

Swinging on spider webs is a way of getting around that is outdated.

This is just the beginning.

If the subsequent aerial highway is built, the police can be dispatched even faster, and any means of transportation will be more cost-effective than swinging on spider webs.

Thinking of this, Gwen couldn't help feeling lost.

The world is changing so fast.

It made her feel unreal.

Even if artificial sun technology promotes technological progress, it will not be so fast.

There is no process, only results!
It seems like the world doesn't need Spider-Man anymore.

So what's the point of her becoming Spider-Man?
Protect yourself?
Gwen still loses focus slightly when she thinks of the black Spider-Man she met before.

I will die.

Will I really die?
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the coast, and a gorgeous firework rose rapidly from the sea. Its dazzling light filled the night sky, as if celebrating something.

“Swoosh~Bang!!”

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and seven brilliant lights exploded and spread. A huge spider totem spanned the night sky, indicating that Spider-Man had returned.

"Spider-Man!"

Gwen's eyes sparkled and she felt strangely excited.

"Finally it showed up."

In the Daily Bugle office, the sleepless Jonah Jameson stood in front of the French window, a smile breaking out on his haggard face.

In the new villa on the coast, Otto woke up from his sleep.

Looking at the gorgeous fireworks spreading outside the window, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

"Spider-Man is back. Things won't be so boring anymore."

Ruth stood up and rested her head on Otto's shoulder.

"Are you still thinking about the unfinished battle from last time?"

"I'm not a reckless man. I won't care about those things."

Otto smiled and stroked Ruth's face.

"He saved you and made me realize how important you are to me. We are happy now, so Spider-Man should be happy too."

Hearing this, Ruth shook her head helplessly.

"It may be difficult. For a hero, once the world no longer needs him, he will lose the meaning of existence. This sense of gap is not something that everyone can bear."

Otto raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his tone disdainful.

"It's impossible to replace Spider-Man with those weapons that are common on the street."

Rose rolled her eyes, "Spider-Man wouldn't want the world to become what it was before. Peace is the most important thing."

"My wife, you seem to have forgotten something."

Otto stood up and looked at the night outside the window with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"It is true that the artificial sun brings unlimited energy. Humans will no longer start wars over energy issues.

But humans are selfish at heart. Wars will never end, and criminals will never be eliminated.

The most important thing is”

He turned back to look at Ruth and said, "It's easier for evil people to control the discourse. Without Hydra, there will be other more terrifying guys to take over this role.

Spider-Man's story isn't over yet."

-

At the same time, the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky dissipated, and the red and blue figures shot out spider silk to lock onto the void, and then swung under the antenna tower of the Empire State Building.

Looking at the city that was both familiar and somewhat strange, Charlotte couldn't help scratching his head.

"It's fine that no one greeted me, but why is the painting style leaning towards cyber style?"

Cars and flying vehicles everywhere, the aerial highway under construction, the ever-rising technological buildings, and the giant island floating above the city were reflected in Charlotte's eyes one after another.

This surprised him.

Logically speaking, he had only disappeared for forty days, and such a big change had occurred in such a short period of time, which was not very reasonable even in the Marvel world.

The technological revolution triggered by the successful artificial sun experiment is too exaggerated.

Is it another world?

He clicked his wrist device.

"Hello, Carter?"

"Charlotte? Are you back?" Carter's voice was full of surprise.

Hearing this, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he did come back.

"Yeah, I'm back, and I don't feel right."

"I know what you want to ask. Come to me first."

Carter said: "Do you see the island above the city? Yes, that's it. It's the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Charlotte looked at the island in the night sky and was silent for a while.

Then he said: "I think an aircraft carrier is more suitable for SHIELD."

"That was the original plan, but we got a big investment, so we changed it to an island."

"invest?"

"Yes, Tony Stark's investment."

"why?"

"He's trying to protect his dark history in this way."

After Carter finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly remembered.

"Very good, I also know the story of that guy and the Red Skull. It seems that I can also live in a big villa." Charlotte grinned.

"No, I was the one who provided the artificial sun data. What about the patent fee?" he suddenly remembered.

"Mr. Spider-Man, if you are willing to announce your identity to the world, the royalties are absolutely no problem."

"Never mind. I didn't come up with this idea anyway."

Charlotte hung up the communication and then launched a spider silk to swing towards the island in the sky.

"Boom~"

Along the way, a civilian aircraft modified from a Bumblebee flew past Charlotte at high speed.

"Hey! Spider-Man who's walking in pajamas in the middle of the night, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The yellow-haired guy in the car whistled at Charlotte and said in a teasing tone, "Outdated superhero, why don't we have a competition? If you lose, you take off your pajamas and bark like a dog in front of me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huangmao's companions started to make a fuss.

"Hahaha, that's a good idea."

"The outdated superhero Spider-Man is no longer useful, he should switch careers to being a funny comedian."

"I must take a picture of his miserable appearance, and title it "The Darkest Moment of a Has-Been Hero". It will definitely get a lot of traffic."

"Yes, yes, let's do it."

The bad boys in the car mocked him wantonly, but Charlotte just glanced at them calmly.

"It's only been forty days and you've become a has-been hero. It seems you've forgotten one thing."

"what?"

"It's a hundred meters from here to the ground, so hold on tight."

"What!!"

In an instant, in the eyes of these bad boys, the red and blue figure suddenly turned into an arc of electricity and disappeared from their sight.

The next moment, sparks burst from the tail thruster of the aircraft, thick smoke billowed, and the aircraft fell diagonally towards the park lake. "No!!"

"Help me!!"

"Spider-Man, please save us!!"

Amid the delinquent boys' pleas, arcs of electricity passed through the window and swept into the night sky without any reluctance.

"No"

"boom!!"

The aircraft plunged into the cold lake water, alarms sounded around, and professional diving robots began to take off.

As the red and blue figures flew down to the grass of the island in the sky, Carter and others were already waiting there.

"You just got back and you've caused me trouble." Carter stepped forward, looking helpless.

Charlotte shrugged, "Spider-Man never suffers any loss."

He looked at Carter in front of him and said, "You usually wear a battle suit to work, why are you wearing a skirt now? Did you change specially to welcome me?"

He leaned one hand on the tree trunk beside him and held his forehead with the other hand, speaking in a helpless tone.

"I really can't do anything about you. Your outfit is too businesslike. Remember to change into a floral dress next time. That way you'll look gentler," he reminded her.

Carter rolled her eyes. "In the past, it was for the convenience of being on the move at any time. Now that there are not so many missions outside, of course I can wear what I like." She explained.

"is it?"

Charlotte glanced at the medal on Carter's shoulder, and her inverted triangle eyes dilated slightly.

"Have you been promoted?"

Carter nodded, turned around and said, "Yes, we'll talk as we walk."

"Okay, do you have juice ready for me?"

"Ready, two cups."

"Thank you."

Charlotte followed Carter, and the agents he met along the way looked at him strangely.

"They don't seem as enthusiastic as before," he said.

Carter said without even turning his head. “You used to be a superhero, but now because of the technological upgrade caused by the artificial sun, superheroes are no longer mysterious to them.”

"Fuck it, I'm really out of date." Charlotte was very depressed.

"You said something bad."

Carter paused, turned around and said, "I haven't heard such dirty words in a long time."

Charlotte: “???”

"Braised egg head?"

"Yes, he left SHIELD on his own initiative. Now I am the one in charge here."

Carter laughed and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra to that extent. He has no face to stay here any longer."

"Congratulations then."

Charlotte paused, "Congratulations to myself, too. I am now the man behind S.H.I.E.L.D."

He leaned closer and said, "Approve more operating funds for me, thank you."

Carter's cheek twitched, "Tony's dark history will be enough for you to suffer for the rest of your life."

“Who would complain about having too much money?”

"Well, your reasons are valid."

Carter continued to take Charlotte to visit the current S.H.I.E.L.D.

"This used to be a helicopter airport, but now it's been converted into a nuclear-powered aircraft, which was also sponsored by Tony."

"He's really rich."

"And here, don't underestimate it as just a fountain, but underneath it is a small nuclear reactor that provides huge energy for the island in the sky."

"There is also the building under construction. I plan to transform it into a drone warehouse. They will be responsible for most of the future outbound missions."

Soon, the two walked into the office building.

"Hey, my friend, I'm glad you're back." Harry, who was limping, gave Charlotte an excited hug when he saw her.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet?" Charlotte looked at Harry in front of her.

Harry shrugged, "I was experimenting with an upgraded version of my flying skateboard, but there was a small problem, so you know."

"Yes, I understand."

Charlotte looked behind Harry and saw Norman, dressed in a neat suit, walking towards them.

"Hi, Spider-Man, nice to see you again."

Norman shook hands with Charlotte, then leaned forward and whispered, "Don't worry, Harry doesn't know your identity."

Charlotte nodded. "Congratulations on coming back, Mr. Osborne."

"Congratulations on coming back, too."

Norman pointed to the mark on his shoulder and smiled, "I am now a Thunder agent, and still a criminal. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Father, Spider-Man is my friend, he will definitely help you." Harry put his arm around Norman's shoulders, and the gap between father and son had long been eliminated.

Seeing this, Carter said to Norman, "How are the others?"

Norman shook his head, “Captain Hydra’s black spine was replaced with a normal spine. Although he lost his powerful strength, he is still very dangerous. He did not explicitly express his intention to join the Thunderbolt agents.

As for Ophelia, that woman is too dangerous, I think she can be ruled out as an option."

Hearing this, Charlotte knew what Carter was planning.

"In that case, just give up!"

He said to Carter: "In fact, not all criminals are suitable to join the Thunder Agents. You can't be impatient, otherwise Nick Fury will end up like you."

After hearing this, Carter was suddenly alert.

"Yes, I am a little anxious."

She rubbed her brows and said, "I can now understand Nick Fury's situation at that time. He wanted to achieve results so much that he couldn't see the reality clearly."

She looked at Norman, "Then let's follow the normal process!"

"no problem."

Norman looked at the information in his hand and said, "The evidence I have is enough for him to stay in prison for a thousand years."

“How many years is not the point.”

Charlotte said seriously: "The most important thing is not to let them escape from prison."

Villains escaping prison is an old tradition of Marvel and DC.

Carter is very confident about this.

"Don't worry, escaping from prison is not an option for them. Either they stay put or they are sent to a nuclear reactor."

She raised an eyebrow at Charlotte and said, "I want to try it too. If they die in my hands, can we still get into that place?"

Carter was eager to try, and Charlotte couldn't help feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp.

Is this menopause?

Soon, they arrived at the office.

"I reorganized your identity."

Carter handed the information to Charlotte, "You have been missing for too long this time, and it is difficult to fool Harry and your uncle and aunt, so Charlotte Parker has become our senior agent. This will be your new identity from now on.

This time you go back, the reason for your disappearance is to carry out a secret mission, and this secret mission is to find Spider-Man.

The mission is not dangerous, and you can handle it easily."

Seeing this, Charlotte's eyes lit up.

"Can I get my salary now? I still have a regular job."

Carter: “.”

"How can you be so hungry for a salary? Nick Fury at the time could give you more."

"This is different."

Charlotte looked through her information and said, "In this kind of unit, if you don't have any acquaintances, you have no future."

As a result, after Carter came to power, he directly gave him the status of a senior agent.

If it were Nick Fury, he would have been dismissed as a senior temporary worker at most.

He knew that Patton was only on a temporary contract until now, and the loan for his suburban villa had not yet been repaid!
One word, miserable!

"By the way, you asked me to come here, it's impossible that you only asked me to tell me these, there must be something else." Charlotte said.

Carter nodded, "Yes, some strange things have happened to Tony recently. He asked me for help, but I don't know how to help him."

"Strange things? How strange?"

"It's just... weird."
