11 Chapter 11: Gwen's Choice

"Sorry, General Ross. This incident is being handled by our New York Police Department. Your military doesn't need to get involved."

"Alright, that's it. I've arrived at the scene. Gotta hang up now."

On the helicopter, Chief George Stacy decisively hung up on the call from the military.

"Chief, refusing them so directly like this, wouldn't it..."

Seeing his chief actually showing no face to the military like this, the officer beside him couldn't help but worry for his future.

After all, although the police department and military belonged to different factions, the relationships between them were complex. And the other party was after all a general. If he used some underhanded means in secret, then the chief's future prospects could be bleak.

"Hmph. How could those guys from the military be so kind as to come and help us catch criminals?"

"Taking the initiative to offer help now, it's nothing but wanting to obtain genetic samples of those two people down there with superpowers. Then use them for some dreadful genetic experiments, probing the secrets hidden within their bodies."

"After all, it's already common knowledge that the military wants to recreate a super soldier comparable to the likes of Captain America."

"I highly suspect now that these characters with tremendous abilities popping up one after another are the product of some special experiments by the military."

"But no matter what, since they've disrupted the order in my jurisdiction, it has to be our police department catching and arresting them, delivering justice in the end."

"Only this way can we still have the face to confront the citizens of this city."

Chief George looked at the two Spider-Mans surrounded below. His eyes revealed a hint of determination.

...

"This is the NYPD. People ahead, listen up. You've been surrounded, please immediately put down your weapons and stop your criminal behavior. Raise your hands and get down on the ground. If you resist, we have the right to shoot you down immediately..."

With dozens of police cars, several armed helicopters, and over a hundred armed policemen surrounding Gwen and Peter, an officer holding a loudspeaker began shouting at the two.

"Damn it. What do we do now?"

Surrounded by the police, Gwen was extremely anxious inside at this moment.

After all, although her current power was far beyond ordinary people, in the end, she still couldn't withstand a barrage of bullets.

If it was just a few armed policemen, she could still rely on her powerful spider-sense to dodge their shots.

But now there were nearly a hundred policemen around, with armed helicopters overhead providing cover too.

Wanting to escape was not an easy matter at all.

"It's all because of this damn guy!"

Knowing that he might not be able to escape, Gwen could only slowly raise her hands, ready to surrender, while at the same time, she couldn't stop cursing Peter in front of her in her heart.

"But, if I'm caught like this, how am I going to face my father."

However, at this moment, what she feared most in her heart right now was not being caught by the police, but how to face her police chief father.

After all, she had heard her father explicitly express his hatred of Spider-Woman, which was her, over dinner more than once.

"Officers, I think you've made a mistake. I'm no criminal, but a famous good citizen of Los Santos."

At this time, besides Gwen, the surrounded Peter also slowly raised both hands, and slowly bent his legs, pretending to get down on the ground. At the same time, he spoke to the officers around him in an extremely relaxed tone.

"Where is Los Santos?"

"No clue. Probably some remote small town."

The officers around naturally didn't know where Los Santos was.

"Repeating one more time. To avoid unnecessary casualties, immediately raise your hands and get on the ground. Do not resist, otherwise, we will open fire immediately."

But seeing both seeming to no longer prepare to resist, the police also sent some officers to control the two.

A few officers slowly approached the two. But being cautious, they did not lower the guns in their hands, in case something unexpected happened.  

"Heh heh. Sorry, I forgot to tell you guys - I'm a five-star good citizen!"

Yet when these officers were less than a few meters from the two, Peter wearing the black spider suit half-squatting on the ground, his expression unclear, slowly spoke again with a laugh.

"Not good! All officers, no need for authorization. Open fire immediately!"

However, observing everything happening at the scene from the helicopter, Chief George suddenly felt something was wrong. He then anxiously spoke into the intercom without hesitation.

While also not forgetting to shout at the helicopter pilot: "Quick, gain altitude!"

Yet in the end everything was still a step too late.

Boom!

An explosive deafening roar suddenly erupted under Peter's feet, as if an anti-tank landmine had been buried beneath him.

The tremendous force directly blasted several officers just meters away flying.

Even the sturdy street that could bear dozens of ton trucks driving over it was damaged under such intense impact, leaving behind a pit several meters deep.

And countless fissures spread out spider-web-like rapidly around the pit towards the surroundings.

A cloud of smoke rose up, swallowing the scene within.

Ratatat... Bang bang... Tututut...

When the accident happened unexpectedly, making the surrounding officers involuntarily freeze up for a bit, fortunately, they quickly reacted due to the chief's earlier warning.

The guns and rifles etc in their hands did not hesitate at all to pour towards the smoke, firing thousands upon thousands of bullets within just seconds. Even an elephant now would probably have been shot into chunks of meat.

Yet within the smoke, there wasn't a single miserable shriek, as if their bullets were all hitting thin air.

Boom!

Just as they were filled with doubt, a loud explosion suddenly came from the sky. Instantly attracting everyone's gaze.

"Crap! He's up there!"

Someone had already seen what was happening in the sky clearly.

"Oh my god. How's this possible?!"

Yet the scene before their eyes made everyone present feel incredulous.

They saw that among the armed helicopters circling overhead just now, one of them had now been completely snapped into two sections. Its wreckage was falling from the sky.

What was even more inconceivable was, an figure had just burst out from the broken fuselage. It directly charged at the closest other helicopter nearby!

"Is this really something a human can do?"

Seeing the armed helicopter in the sky torn apart instantly, almost everyone present was too shocked to speak.

"Now is a chance..."

At the same time, when all the police officers were stunned, unable to accept what had just happened.

Gwen had found the best chance to escape at this moment.

"But..."

Yet seeing the helicopter wreckage struck down by the guy called Venom, now falling from the sky. And the survivors constantly screaming within it.

Gwen finally stopped her steps which were ready to escape.

The next moment, webs from her wrist gauntlets suddenly shot forth. Rushing up to meet the falling helicopter wreckage in the sky!
