Seeing Spider-Man in the video attempting to stop the train with his feet, the audience couldn't help but gasp. This is too daring; he seems to disregard his own life!
Even with the extraordinary abilities of Spider-Man, such actions are still very dangerous. His feet plowed the ground frantically, but in the end, he couldn't make the train stop. Not to mention stopping, the speed showed no sign of slowing down.
Though the passengers inside the train were panicking, having Spider-Man in front of the train gave them a glimmer of hope. After Spider-Man's first attempt to stop the train failed, an old passenger asked him, 'Do you have any other ideas?'
Spider-Man glanced at him, 'I have an idea!'
He shot webs to both sides of the train, sticking them to the tall buildings on either side of the tracks. Then, he exerted force on the webs, hoping to use himself and the webs to encircle the speeding train. This, of course, was very dangerous, as Spider-Man standing in front of the train meant enduring the impact of the entire train!
Almost instantly, he felt tremendous pressure, and worse, despite the webs being sturdy, the buildings on the other end of the webs were pulled down due to the train's force.
Spider-Man's second attempt failed again. He almost fell onto the tracks, but his agility saved him. He crouched down, almost with his face against the tracks, and managed to stand up.
After two failed attempts, the train was getting closer to the endpoint. At this moment, both the passengers and Spider-Man on the video screen, as well as the audience and players outside the screen, felt the tension.
But Spider-Man learned from the previous failed attempts. He took two deep breaths, then spread his arms to stop the train. He continuously shot webs to the buildings on both sides of the train, forming a web that stuck to the building walls. Spider-Man shouted, pulling the webs with all his might.
Under the strong impact, the train's windows shattered, and the body deformed. Spider-Man, enduring the maximum impact, shouted louder. His face turned red, and the spider suit on him cracked.
'Come on, Spider-Man, you can do it! We believe in you!'
'He is a good kid. He's like Iron Man's godson charging into space with a nuclear bomb. At this moment, for the sake of saving people, he doesn't care about his safety and life. This is the hero we need, the hero we admire!'
"I have to apologize to him; I used to think that this Spider-Man was inferior to the other one taught by Iron Man. Now it seems both Spider-Men are heroes, worthy of our admiration!"
"To be honest, I prefer this Spider-Man. He's more real, closer to us. Unlike the other Spider-Man, the godson of Iron Man, living a life of a rich man with Iron Man's support. That's too far from us. And this Spider-Man relies solely on himself, more deserving of respect."
Heroic actions always receive people's praise. Spider-Man's selfless act, influenced by the quiz game in different worlds, received unanimous praise.
Peter's player data displayed several relevant achievements, such as 'Hero's Certificate,' 'Popular Idol,' and more. Achievement points could be exchanged for substantial points. He couldn't help but calculate; if he secured the second place in this game, even without a mysterious reward, he could gain considerable points from these achievements, almost several hundred points.
"If I lose this game, these few hundred points will be lost..."
Peter thought anxiously, his eyes fixed on the screen. As the person involved, he was naturally nervous, worried about whether his future self in the video could successfully save the runaway train.
In the video, the train was getting closer to the endpoint. The endpoint had a stop post, but it was prepared for a train with functioning brakes. The current train, completely losing its braking function, would surely crash through the post if left unassisted.
It was evident that Spider-Man exerted all his efforts to stop the train, and it was working. The speeding train was gradually slowing down.
However, at the same time, the webs pulling the train finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to break. More importantly, Spider-Man also reached his limit.
Just as the webs broke and Spider-Man was about to collapse, accompanied by a loud noise, the train finally collided with the stop post. The front half of the train extended beyond the high bridge, and Spider-Man, making a final effort, managed to stabilize the train. But at the same time, he collapsed due to exhaustion.
Seeing Spider-Man about to fall straight down, at this time, a pair of hands from deep inside the train held him, and the passengers, who narrowly escaped danger, witnessed how Spider-Man saved them. Naturally, they were grateful.
They carried the unconscious Spider-Man to the back of the train, carefully placing him down. At this moment, Spider-Man had no mask, and the people around him could see his face clearly. They curiously examined him.
Some were worried about whether Spider-Man was still alive, while others marveled at Spider-Man's youth, similar to their own sons. Spider-Man had just exhausted himself and fainted, but he quickly regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he saw grateful faces. The first thing he did was touch his face, realizing that he no longer had a mask. His identity was exposed!
Two children brought over his blackened headgear and handed it to him, saying, "Don't worry; we won't tell anyone."
Other passengers echoed, assuring him that they wouldn't reveal the identity of their savior. Seeing this, Peter outside the screen had an epiphany. Indeed, the quiz game exposed his identity, but he was doing a just cause. Even if his true identity was revealed, there should be no fear or panic, right?
In fact, he and other superheroes whose identities were exposed had gone through this a few times and had become accustomed to it. After all, as players, they couldn't interfere with the rules of the quiz game.
