章 56: Madagascar
Mr. Poopoo jumped off the hospital bed where he had been sitting and tilted his head to get a better look at Peter, who was holding a piece of paper given by him.
'Sorry.'
Peter shook his head and tenderly caressed the small creature in his hand, his voice carrying a mixture of concern and relief as he spoke,
"You know, if you all hadn't been keeping an eye on them, things could have taken a much darker turn but somehow, they've managed to cling to life."
Mr. Poopoo shifted his gaze to the other side, his eyes carrying a sense of profoudness.
Peter couldn't help but release a sigh, hoping that this experience had imparted a valuable lesson not only to Mr. Poopoo but also to the others.
It was a reminder that in the future, they wouldn't be as complacent, understanding the importance of staying vigilant.
Peter lampooned self-deprecatingly,
'If I had not made an army of my own, Aujt May and Uncle Ben would have been dead already.'
With a shake of his head, Peter extended his hand to a different rat. In return, the creature handed him two injections and two vials of green liquid.
The brown-haired teenager cast a brief, intrigued glance at the vial before he cautiously uncapped it. With deliberate precision, he allowed a single nanobot to drop from the vial.
As moments passed, the minuscule machine began to replicate and the replocated began to replicate more, their actions imperceptible to the human eye but not to the keen, observant lizard eye.
Peter paused for a moment, his gaze shifting to Uncle Ben as he pondered his next move. With a purposeful nod, he reached for a plate and carefully emptied one of the vials onto it.
Then, he swiftly took a piece of cotton and soaked it in the green liquid. Holding the injection in one hand, he inserted the needle into the cotton and gently pulled, drawing the precious liquid into the syringe. It was a delicate process, but one filled with unwavering confidence.
With a firm grip on Uncle Ben's arm, Peter skillfully injected the serum into a prominent vein. Careful and deliberate, he repeated the same process for the other vial, administering the precious serum into Aunt May, each injection carrying with it the weight of their hope for recovery.
Before long, beads of sweat began to surface on their wrinkled bodies, saturating their skin and clothes.
The moisture quickly evaporated, leaving behind a scorching heat that radiated from their bodies. As minutes ticked by, distressing ruptures emerged in their charred and bandaged skin, like tiny fault lines on the Earth's surface.
From within, needles seemed to push through the surface, a bizarre and unsettling transformation taking place. Before long, the needles turned into small boils under the skin, and vapor covered the entire room
Soon, Uncle Ben and Aunt May's eyelids fluttered open, their groggy eyes focusing on the sterile ceiling of the hospital room. With drowsy curiosity, they turned their heads downward, only to find an empty room.

Peter stood upright, taking in his surroundings. The environment was bathed in a brilliant, almost blinding, white light, and everything around him gleamed with pristine perfection.
It bore a striking resemblance to the blank white metallic chambers of an advanced secret society or the inside of the Deathstar from Star Wars.
There was almost endless underground space, millions of lizard rats, super lizards, lizard cats, lizard dogs, lizard ravens, lizard eagles, and a few lizard-tigers and lizard-lions also walked around.
Peter's jaw dropped in astonishment as he took in the incredible sight before him. What was once a simple underground basement below the sewers had transformed into a bustling, thriving lizard-animal kingdom
To his left, a continuous stream of vials containing the lizard serum was being meticulously produced, promising the transformation of even more creatures into lizards.
Peter gazed upon the animals that bowed before him in reverence, their eyes reflecting loyalty and respect as they recognized his leadership.
Following the guidance of their generals, they diligently carried out their assigned tasks, adding to the unique tapestry of this astonishing lizard-animal kingdom.
Peter reached out and gently picked up a random cat, a member of the Lizard Kingdom, and inquired,
"Could you please check our records and inform me of the total number of beings enlisted in the Lizard Kingdom?"
The eager cat let out a meow of affirmation and nodded vigorously before swiftly scurrying away. In just a matter of moments, she returned, presenting a piece of paper adorned with inked numbers that held the key to the total count of beings within the Lizard Kingdom.
[300k rats. 69k lizards. 1 Tiger. Two Lions. 4 Zebras. 3 Gorillas. 45 Monkeys. 50 Ravens. 7000 Seagulls.6 Hippopotamus. 12 Penguins. 200 sparrows. 40 Eagles. 2k crows... etc... etc... etc- Total: 790k soldiers.]
"What in the Madagascar..." Peter's jaw dropped in sheer astonishment as his eyes scanned the vast numbers of species and soldiers enlisted within the Lizard Kingdom.
The sheer magnitude of this diverse and formidable assembly left him utterly flabbergasted.
Breaking free from his daze, Peter extended his hand to the black-colored cat, his fingers gently caressing her luxurious fur.
Her deep sea-green eyes held a mesmerizing elegance, and in her presence, he felt a sense of connection with this remarkable creature.
Peter nodded with a radiant smile gracing his face as he made his announcement. "Henceforth, your name shall be Ms.Possycar. You shall lead the cats, for I hereby promote you to the esteemed rank of General."
The cat responded with a soft purr, nuzzling her head affectionately against Peter's hand, a gesture that tugged at his heartstrings and made him let out a heartfelt "Awww."
To his right, the stark fabricators were tirelessly churning out more of their kind, replicating themselves in a never-ending cycle of creation.
In the front, teams of industrious animals were diligently drilling deeper into the earth, each movement an effort to expand the boundaries of their kingdom.
From every side, it was a symphony of progress, as the Lizard Kingdom worked tirelessly to build its unique domain.
Stalls were thoughtfully arranged, offering an array of goods, from nourishing food to stylish clothes and a variety of intriguing trinkets.
Meanwhile, a dedicated team worked on the construction of an underground bullet metro service, with separate lines for the animals and a VIP one specially reserved for Peter, ensuring swift and convenient transportation throughout the bustling Lizard Kingdom.
Some animals showcased their talents through captivating dances and performances, while others embraced their dramatic sides, taking up acting. Some sang their hearts out, creating enchanting melodies in the underground chambers, and a few embarked on quests for love and companionship.
Intriguingly, a bustling real estate market had emerged, with animals buying and selling homes to one another, creating their own unique habitats within this hidden world. At the same time, a community of dedicated animal scientists delved into various fields of research, seeking to unlock new knowledge and mysteries.
Notably, many animals had also turned their attention to the mystic arts, delving into the secrets of magic and the arcane, learning from Master- Mr.Poopoo himself.
In that moment, Peter came to a stunning realization. He had not just stumbled upon a hidden world; he had, in fact, forged an entirely unique animal kingdom.
It was a thriving civilization, a self-contained country unto itself, and he stood as its sole ruler.
Peter shook his head, lost deep in thought.
'What should I name my country?'
Shrugging, he gave up the thought for the moment, he looked straight ahead and spoke aloud for everyone to listen.
"MY DEAR SUBJECTS!!!!"
As Peter's voice echoed through the underground kingdom, a hush fell over the bustling crowd of lizard-animals.
In unison, they turned their attention to their king, and, driven by an instinctive reverence, each and every one of them bowed and knelt before him, a display of unwavering loyalty and respect.
Peter nodded with a warm smile as he addressed the assembly of loyal lizard-animals.
"To those who can bring Mr. Bobo, one of the first of our kind—lizard-rat—before me, you shall receive a personal pat of honor from me!"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd of animals, their voices rising in excited chatter as they discussed the newfound challenge.
Meanwhile, Mr. Poopoo, by Peter's side, opened his eyes, and a profound aura of wisdom radiated from him. He gazed upon the assembly with a gleam in his eyes, exuding an aura of boundless knowledge and inspiration that left the creatures in awe.
"SILENCE! Your King is speaking!"
Peter coughed, expressing his appreciation to Mr. Poopoo. He exchanged a meaningful glance with the mouse-lizard and nodded in acknowledgment.
It was evident that Mr. Poopoo had undergone significant development since his previous challenges, particularly in his commitment to protecting Peter's family and the newfound wisdom he now radiated.
As Peter's eyes began to glow with a fiery red hue, he activated his Lizard-Vision, tapping into his latent powers.
A formidable aura of fear and domination radiated from his being, enveloping the half-lizard animals in the vicinity. Spiritually affected by this overwhelming presence, they couldn't help but succumb to the profound influence of their king.
With a hypnotic and resonant voice, Peter addressed his loyal subjects, bestowing his blessing upon their quest.
"Good luck, my faithful companions, and may Godspeed be with each and every one of you."
A wave of euphoria washed over the assembled animals, and a collective surge of excitement and devotion overcame them.
They let out ecstatic screams at the top of their lungs, a jubilant chorus echoing through the underground kingdom.
"LONG LIVE LIZARD KING!!!!"
"LONG LIVE LIZARD KING!!!"
"LONG LIVE PUSSYSLAYER!!!"
"LONG LIVE THE MOST HANDSOME HUMAN!"...
With a sheepish grin, Peter nodded and scratched his neck awkwardly. Not used to being treated as a king though the animals weren't specifically talking but roaring....
"Meow, woof woof etc."
However Peter got the gist of it, understanding the meaning beneath due to their hive-mind bond.
"Alright, everyone, back to work!"
