Vol.3 - Chapter 29 – Spider-Man brand condoms, exquisite quality, worthy of trust--

(The following is an update for "ya2048" brothers)

The leader of the resistance that appeared in front of Team K was an outstanding woman in every aspect.

Although her skin was not well maintained due to age and fatigue, her melancholy posture and gestures as she leaned against the chair and looked out the window still touched people's hearts.

In the smoke emitted by the burning of the lady's cigarette with a sweet aroma, the elegant figure of this lady in combat attire was shrouded, making people unable to help but ponder how eye-catching she must have been in her prime.

Captain Jack coughed, adjusted his collar, and took out a mirror to tidy up his appearance.

Obviously, the wandering pirate had found a new "target" again.

"Who are you?"

The lady, who was awakened by Mason's exclamation, turned her head and frowned as she looked at the four people in front of her. When she saw the uniform gray bat style on their bodies and the mismatched battle clothes in this place, Mary Jane immediately narrowed her eyes.

She said:

"Outsiders again?"

She pursed her lips and waved her hand, expressing her annoyance in a similar tone to the middle-aged Spider-Man just now:

"The last two superheroes here were taken away by your colleagues a month ago. This place is meaningless to you now.

Thanks to you, I have become a commander without any real power.

Leave.

Before I send you off with bullets."

"No, Ms. Mary Jane, we are not here to recruit members."

Mason suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and stepped forward to the former journalist lady who was not in a good mood, saying:

"We want to enter Osborn Tower to do something dangerous but beneficial to this world. A kind-hearted person told us that we can get help from you."

"Who told you that?"

Mary Jane narrowed her eyes and said:

"Peter?"

Mason did not answer.

His gaze fell on Mary Jane's nameplate, where the complete name of this lady was written: "Mary Jane Watson Schultz."

"Uh."

The young man widened his eyes and said:

"What's going on? How did you divorce Peter? And remarried to a man named Schultz? No wonder he turned out to be such a mess."

"It seems that you are very familiar with him, and what's with your tone just now? Are you defending your 'new friend'? Do you think I'm a bad woman?"

Mary Jane sneered and said:

"Then let me ask you, young man who talks too much. If you were a 27-year-old woman facing a career crisis, with a husband who is willing to give everything for strangers in the city but unwilling to find a good job to support his wife and daughter, and a husband who is immersed in alcoholic beverages after the death of a loved one and cannot afford the hospitalization fee when your daughter is sick...

Well, I admit.

At first, maybe I just wanted to stimulate him a bit and make him stand up again.

But the fact is, the Peter I am familiar with and deeply in love with may have already died. He died with Aunt May's departure. Even before the apocalypse arrived, he was already dead."

This explosive counter-question left Mason speechless. Behind him, Barbara whispered to Bucket:

"Mason said that the weird uncle and Bruce are the same kind of people. Damn, the same kind of people! Bruce wouldn't be in such a sorry state just because he worked hard to support his family due to practical reasons."

"Yeah, you're right. Bruce would still have billions of dollars even if he fell into poverty."

Bucket nodded in agreement.

"Oh, beautiful lady, don't be angry. For an elegant beauty like you, anger will only intensify the little youth you have left."

In an awkward atmosphere, Captain Jack walked towards the angry Mary Jane with a graceful stride, and magically took out a red rose from somewhere.

He handed the flower to Mary Jane, but before he could speak, Mary Jane waved her hand and smashed the red rose on his face, blocking the flirtatious words that Captain Jack hadn't said yet.

Obviously, this lady was definitely not an easy "tough character" to deal with.

"Get out of my office!"

Mary Jane slapped the table and scolded:

"We refuse to provide any help to outsiders here. Go find your new friend. Maybe Peter will suddenly recover after being depressed for several years."

"That weird uncle has been protecting this sanctuary."

Barbara frowned and said:

"Although you have grievances against him, ma'am, you are able to live here thanks to him. Maybe you should..."

"Smack!"

The lady's fist hit the table, interrupting Barbara's words.

"You know nothing!"

Mary Jane held the lady's cigarette in her mouth, stared fiercely at Barbara, and said loudly:"When he, who was already a useless person, disregarded everything and charged towards those destroyers with the Avengers, when he was beaten half to death and fell in the city, you had no idea! Young man.

It was me who risked my life to drag him and his girlfriend back from the battlefield, and that unfaithful adventure cost me my husband and my son..."

"I'm sorry."

Barbara took a step back in fear, quickly lowered her head, and sincerely apologized:

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought up these things."

"Forget it, I just vented my anger on you guys."

Perhaps some of the frustrations that had been weighing on her heart were unexpectedly spoken out during the conversation. In any case, Mary Jane, who had been angry just now, quickly calmed down.

She sat back in her chair as if she had lost all her strength.

She reached out to adjust her hair and wiped her reddened eyes, coughed a few times, and said:

"Since that man can bring you here, it means that you have gained his trust. Maybe you really are different from other outsiders.

But I actually don't care much.

Tell me, what help do you need from the Resistance Organization? What are you here for? Speak up, even though I am just a figurehead, I can still provide information."

Mason pulled a chair and sat at the table, repeating what he had said to the middle-aged Spider-Man to Mary Jane. He also asked about the earthquake.

But Mary Jane couldn't give a specific answer either.

This melancholic lady sighed and looked at the children playing in the amusement park in the underground town outside the window...

She remained silent for several seconds before speaking:

"We haven't been to the surface for a long time, Mason. We hide ourselves underground and pray for the protection of darkness. The world under the sun has become a dangerous synonym several years ago.

Especially for those children.

If it weren't for the zombie siege today, Peter probably hasn't been to the surface for several months. After all, besides desolation, there is nothing left there.

But if you really want to figure out this secret, there is a way..."

The figurehead of the Resistance Organization pursed her lips and said:

"I can give you a suggestion, but it's very dangerous. Follow the sewer of this shelter all the way down. There are some 'underground people' in the deeper underground. They have been living underground even before the apocalypse happened, and it has already become their little kingdom.

They might know something."

Mary Jane paused, glanced at Mason who was taking notes, and continued:

"As for sneaking into Osborn Tower, it's not as difficult as you think. The Green Goblin has been recruiting workers on this wasteland, and he went crazy after his son died in the apocalypse.

He has been expanding his private kingdom.

Anyway, they need a lot of workers there. You just need to sign up at their recruitment point outside the city and you will be sent to the outskirts of Osborn Tower.

But it's not that simple to enter the city center.

But you should all be like superheroes or super villains, things that ordinary people can't do should be a piece of cake for you."

Just as Mary Jane was introducing the situation of Osborn Tower to Team K, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open rudely. An irritable bald old man with a cane rushed in and shouted:

"Mary, Mary! You missed the meeting again, damn it! We were supposed to discuss the problem of the shelter's unsustainable water supply... Huh? You have guests?

These are... damn it!

They are outsiders!"

After recognizing Mason and the others' identities, this irritable old man immediately threw the cigar in his mouth on the ground, drew a revolver from his waist, and waved it, shooting at them.

But his marksmanship was terrible.

Mason and the others were only a few meters away from him, but the bullets missed. He continued firing while cursing:

"Fuck you, outsiders! Fuck the Star Society! It's you bastards who brought about the apocalypse and disaster! It's you shameless bunch who deceived our city's protectors one after another!

Damn it!

Because of you, we are now so destitute that we have to rely on that despicable Spider-Man to protect us. We are relying on an untrustworthy masked criminal to survive in the apocalypse.

Goddamn it!

How did the world become like this?

If my newspaper still existed..."

"Alright, Jameson, you're already old, calm down a bit. Being too angry is not good for your health."

Mary Jane, who had obviously gotten used to the irritable behavior of this nervous old man, blew a smoke ring and said in a tired tone:

"Stop cursing Peter, he doesn't care anymore. Maybe you should also let go of your obsession with Spider-Man. It's already the apocalypse, can't we all just get along?...""You are now the beloved mayor of the shelter. Can you please behave decently?"

"No way!"

The old man waved his gun and shouted excitedly while banging his cane:

"Unless I die! Even if I die and get nailed into a coffin, I will use my decaying vocal cords to shout out the truth and let everyone know...

Spider-Man is a big liar!

He actually disguised himself as a photographer from my newspaper and fooled me for so many years! Damn it, I even paid him a salary for his self-directed and acted photos!

And we don't have to rely on him.

Our doctors have diagnosed the physical problems of our shelter's guardian, and they plan to perform surgery on our respected guardian, Mr. Night Devil, tomorrow.

As long as we can correct his broken bones, yes!

As long as we can cure him, we don't have to rely on that big liar anymore! Mr. Matt, who is silent, eloquent, and knowledgeable in law, is obviously more trustworthy!"

"Oh my god! You guys haven't given up on that ridiculous plan yet?"

After hearing the shouts of Jonah Jameson, the former boss of the Daily Bugle, the biggest anti-fan of Spider-Man, Peter Parker's former superior, the deputy mayor of New York before the arrival of doomsday, and now the mayor of the Manhattan underground shelter, Mary Jane, who was already helpless, became even more headache.

She covered her face and said:

"Enough, Jameson! Don't invest limited resources into that bottomless black hole. Matt himself said that he can never recover in this lifetime. Those invaders almost broke every bone in his body.

With our current medical conditions, we can't cure him at all. No matter how much you hate Peter, it won't change this fact. We can only rely on him now.

Unless you are willing to join Osborn."

"Damn Osborn!"

The old man jumped up in anger, splashing saliva as he cursed:

"As the mayor of New York City, I will never compromise with that scumbag! I would rather jump off the Osborn Tower! Even if I die from the fall, I will never reconcile with him.

He became my lifelong enemy when that bastard threw the zombie virus into my city! To fight against him, I would rather join forces with the big liar, Spider-Man!

And this time, we are serious, Mary. I have sent my son to lead a team to find the leader of the underground dwellers. We all know who he is.

His miraculous self-healing ability might be able to help our true hero stand up again..."

"No!"

Mary Jane, the head of the shelter's security department, stood up abruptly upon hearing this, and she shouted while leaning on the table:

"I won't allow it! Jameson, you are simply crazy. Professor Conners has already lost his humanity, and his followers will never show mercy to our subordinates.

You are pushing your son into a fire pit."

The intense argument between the mayor of the shelter and the head of security, Mary Jane, made the members of Team K look at each other. After understanding their conflict, Mason turned his eyes.

When the tension between the two slightly eased, he stood up calmly and coughed, extending his hand to stop their continued argument.

In a gentle tone, he said to the hot-tempered Spider-Man anti-fan:

"Please control your temper, Mr. Jameson. I am an unwelcome outsider, but at the same time... well, a doctor! I have a miraculous medicine from my world that can help all patients with fractures stand up again.

If you trust me, why not let me take a look at the injuries of Mr. Matt Murdock?"

"Shut up!"

The old mayor waved the empty barrel of his revolver and shouted:

"You outsiders are all the same. You just want to deceive our city's guardian once again! I won't give you this opportunity."

"No, no, no."

Mason glanced at Mary Jane and said to Jameson:

"In fact, what we want to take away is Spider-Man, but if I take away one guardian, I have to leave one guardian for you. You see, I will help you cure Night Devil and then take away Spider-Man.

This way, your shelter will have a truly trustworthy hero, and you will also have one less trouble. I mean, didn't you say Spider-Man is a liar?

If I take him away, won't you be pleased?"

"No!"

After Mason finished speaking, Mary Jane, who had already lost all hope in Peter Parker, and Jameson, the lifelong anti-fan of Spider-Man, both refused at the same time.

Their tone was decisive, with no room for negotiation.

This hypocritical scene made Mason curl his lips, and the remaining three members of Team K almost burst into laughter.

"Cough, cough."

Mary Jane coughed awkwardly, trying to cover up her true intentions:

"We don't like the current Spider-Man, but we need him.""Yes, just like the condoms young people use, you don't really want it, but you can't live without it."

The old man, being a lifelong fan of Spider-Man, was even vicious in his metaphors.

"Fine."

Mason stood up and took out a bottle of Life Bone Spirit, tossing it up and down in his hand. He said:

"You guys can decide whether you want me to help treat Daredevil or not. It's fine if you don't take him away. Obviously, you guys know a lot about the creatures underground, but you're not willing to share that knowledge with us.

I'm pressed for time, so let's make a deal. Mary Jane and Mr. Jameson."

The captain of Team K stared at Mary Jane and said:

"I'll cure Daredevil, and in return, you! You have to personally take us underground! Deal?"
