After giving his orders, Drake watched Eddie on the screen, showcasing his incredible combat abilities, and commented, "This is the perfect lifeform!"
"Look at the perfection, the incredible strength, the incredible defense, and the incredible speed!"
"I have never seen such a perfect lifeform. He has achieved a truly perfect symbiosis with the symbiote!"
Drake continued to praise.
Among the dozen or so people watching the screen, some began to chime in.
"Mr. Drake, you're right." A middle-aged man in a white coat agreed. "This man's compatibility with the symbiote is incredibly high, completely different from the failed experiments. This is the perfect symbiosis!"
"I don't think we'll find a more perfect symbiote than this. We must bring this man back safely. We need the data from his body!"
Ralph's eyes gleamed with desire.
No one understood better than these researchers how important this perfect symbiote was.
He had never seen a more perfect symbiosis than this one!
Previous human experiments had all resulted in immediate death, and even the rare survivors had rapidly deteriorating organs and soon died!
None of them had displayed the inhuman transformations and power seen on the screen!
Even the briefly surviving test subjects showed no more strength than ordinary people.
Otherwise, they would have displayed their power and escaped the lab long ago instead of being confined for observation.
The researchers around him nodded in agreement and amazement.
While they marveled at Eddie's perfect lifeform, Eddie had already evaded his pursuers and returned home.
Opening the fridge, he grabbed some raw meat and began to eat.
As his hunger subsided, Eddie regained his clarity.
"What did I do?" he said irritably.
At that moment, there was a loud banging on his door.
Bang! The door was kicked open.
A group of black-suited guards rushed in, immediately firing their tranquilizer guns at him.
Venom quickly emerged from Eddie's body, its black form shielding him from the darts.
In the next second, the Venom suit covered Eddie.
"Hey, wait, we can talk this out!"
Eddie tried to explain, but Venom, controlling his body, didn't stop. His right hand transformed into a black tendril, which lashed out at the guards.
Grabbing one, Venom pulled him close and delivered a powerful punch with its black left hand.
In an instant, the guard was knocked unconscious.
Venom leaped into the crowd, knocking them out one by one like they were children.
Thomas, the bald guard at the back, spoke into his walkie-talkie with fear, "We can't handle him. He's too strong!"
At the Life Foundation.
Watching the battle, Drake frowned and asked, "Is there any way?"
A male researcher hesitated before stepping forward, "We can try sound waves."
All eyes turned to him.
The researcher explained, "Experiments show that symbiotes are highly sensitive to sound waves, which can cause them pain and separate them from their hosts."
"We can equip our men with sonic weapons to turn him back into an ordinary man."
Drake frowned slightly, feeling a bit disappointed that his perfect lifeform had a flaw.
Despite this, he quickly gave the order to prepare the sonic weapons.
"Retreat for now."
Drake spoke into the communicator.
Soon, the guards withdrew, leaving a confused Eddie.
"They left?" Eddie said, puzzled.
Venom emerged from his body, its large head looking fierce. "Don't be complacent. They won't give up. We should leave here!"
Eddie's heart pounded, nearly making him weak at the knees from the sudden appearance of this creature.
After a brief exchange, he accepted the reality of being hunted.
He rummaged through his things, quickly gathering useful items to take with him.
Ten minutes later, he ran downstairs, hopped on a motorcycle, and sped away from the Life Foundation.
Unfortunately, he hadn't gone far before he was noticed by his pursuers.
A distant gunshot rang out, and a bullet punctured his speeding motorcycle's tire.
Eddie tumbled to the ground, sustaining multiple bruises and fractures.
Thomas and his team slowly approached.
With a smile, Thomas said, "You're quite a troublemaker, Eddie."
Lying on the ground, Eddie looked panicked, "I was trying to please you."
Thomas ignored him and prepared to fire more tranquilizer darts to immobilize him completely.
But then, something that shocked both Thomas and Drake happened.
Black liquid oozed from Eddie's body, quickly repairing the damage and even resetting his broken bones.
Eddie stood up swiftly, the Venom suit covering him again.
"Oh my God!"
Thomas and his team were stunned.
Watching the monitor, Drake exclaimed, "Incredible!"
Thomas's team panicked and tried to shoot, but it was useless.
Venom grabbed one guard and bit off his head in one gulp.
"Hey, we can talk this out, Eddie."
Facing the advancing Eddie, Thomas backed away, terrified.
"Nothing to discuss, human." Venom grabbed him, examining him closely.
Venom's long tongue licked Thomas's face, leaving a trail of saliva.
"Eyes, lungs, pancreas, all very tasty..."
Venom opened its toothy maw, about to swallow Thomas's head whole.
But a distant gunshot interrupted it.
Venom paused, turning to look at the shooter, its face growing fierce.
Just as it was about to charge, a piercing sonic wave filled the area.
Buzz!
"No!"
Venom released Thomas, falling to its knees in pain.
Within seconds, the Venom suit retracted, leaving Eddie in his original form.
Surrounded by the sonic waves, Thomas coughed a few times and slowly approached Eddie.
In a low voice, he taunted, "Eddie, why don't you show off some more?"
Facing the guns pointed at him, Eddie fell into despair.
"Parasite, we're done for..."
Venom was equally desperate, struggling in vain against the sonic waves.
At the Life Foundation.
"Well done, Thomas!"
Drake smiled broadly, ordering, "Bring back the perfect symbiote, the most perfect creature I've ever seen!"
But as he smiled and Thomas extended his hand, and as Eddie and Venom despaired, footsteps echoed from nearby.
A figure slowly approached.
