Not much useful information was obtained from Whitehall. The only thing we knew was that the symbiote dragon had already slipped out. After Richard returned, he immediately arranged for agents from all sides of Hydra to investigate and collect information. Intelligence, trying to find any clues about the symbiote, but a whole week passed and nothing was found.
Richard didn't forget that there was an authentic symbiote in his newspaper office. It was true that he hadn't thought about asking Venom to help him try to find the whereabouts of the other party, but after a second thought, he decided not to do it.
Venom left his nest and stayed on the earth. Richard estimated that he probably didn't like the symbiote god who ruled his planet. Based on Richard's understanding of this cowardly symbiote, this guy was very satisfied when he heard about it. In all likelihood, your name would have been too frightened to run away, and would have slipped directly into the sewers, trembling, without being of any use.
Furthermore, the Symbiote Dragon is an advanced symbiote directly controlled by Gnar, and it is definitely more powerful than the loser in the symbiote such as Venom. When the time comes to see the above, it won’t matter if Venom is directly swallowed by the opponent or brainwashed and controlled. So after careful consideration, Richard decided not to let him wade into this muddy water.
But he ignored one thing.
That is, as Venom, who also has the template of a protagonist, things that are supposed to happen can never go away. In the end, things will always come back to him...
During Richard's absence, Eddie Bullock, the newcomer at the newspaper, has become Jessica's partner. The reason is quite simple. No one except him can tolerate Jessica's violent temper.
It is said that 70% of the missions with Jessica that go out to collect materials will eventually turn into physical conflicts due to various strange reasons. It is really difficult for an average partner to bear...
Although this mission eventually turned into a problem that needed to be solved with fists, to be fair, it really had nothing to do with Jessica this time.
The cause this time was that a veteran contacted the newspaper and named Eddie himself to expose the shady story in the early government to him.
When Eddie and Jessica arrived at the designated address, they were a little frightened even though they were well-informed - it was an old man who looked quite scary.
He has lost both legs and is sitting in a wheelchair. The skin on half of his face is wrinkled like maggots. His body is deformed, and it is obvious that he can see the traces of severe injuries in his early years, but it is not like the shrapnel and bullets left on the battlefield. The injury looked more like it came from the operating table in the laboratory.
The old man didn't lie. He did bring a dark story that had been sealed away. There was nothing new, it was just another case of the government using soldiers for human experiments. They injected the wounded soldiers with strange things against their will to make them violent. Madness becomes something other than human.
This veteran was a lucky man. The experience did not have a permanent impact on him. After recovering, he left the army and signed a confidentiality agreement that would never be disclosed. But his former comrades were not so lucky. They The changes are irreversible, what was injected remains in their bodies forever, and they themselves are sealed away forever by the government.
The veteran exhausted his savings and spent his whole life investigating the location where his comrades were being held. He never gave up the idea of rescuing them.
The reason why he contacted Eddie was because he found out Eddie's identity and noticed that the venom was very similar to what they were transformed into. He believed that the venom could restore his comrades to normal.
As we all know, European and American male and female protagonists always have the fun of being nosy and causing trouble, and Eddie and Jessica are just the standard protagonist templates, so they have no reason to refuse such nosy.
The veteran's intelligence was very accurate. He found out that several of his teammates were about to be escorted to other departments this week. Eddie and Jessica came to the escort route one step ahead and waited to be intercepted.
The two of them hid in an abandoned building along the street, waiting boredly while chatting and passing the time.
Jessica sat against a pillar and took out a bag of potato chips from her bag. When she tore open the package, she waved it at Eddie: "Do you want them?"
"What does it taste like?"
“Original flavor.”
"Forget it." Eddie shook his head, "Venom hates the original flavor."
Jessica casually threw a piece of potato chips into her mouth and chewed it loudly: "You know its taste well, do you seem to get along well with it?"
Eddie smiled dryly: "If you had a parasite living in your body day and night, you would also be forced to remember what flavor of potato chips it ate."
"I told you, it's not a parasite!" Venom roared again, "Apologise!"
"Okay, okay, I remember..." Eddie waved his hand indifferently.
"The attitude is completely insincere!" Venom continued to roar.
"Okay, okay, then I 'sincerely' apologize..."
Venom continued to express its dissatisfaction angrily. It found that its cowardly host seemed to take its words less and less seriously recently.
This doesn’t work! It must be corrected! Let him remember which one of them has the final say!
But it was not wrong. After getting along for a long time, Eddie was indeed not afraid of venom at all. After all, he could be bought with a pack of chocolate balls, so what was there to be afraid of?
Jessica sat on the edge and chewed potato chips. Although she couldn't hear Venom talking, she found it interesting to see Eddie talking to himself.
"You know, you look like an old married couple when you quarrel with it." Jessica smiled and threw another potato chip into her mouth, "I think you two are a perfect match."
Venom's noisy mouth closed for a moment.
"Eddie."
"Um?"
"What does that word she just said mean?"
"Well...she meant that we are like a couple who have been married for many years and argue all day long at the end of the bed." Eddie paused and added, "Of course you just listen, she is talking nonsense..."
Venom doesn't seem to work.
"What? Me and you, a loser? Ridiculous! It's simply ridiculous!" Venom continued to roar, "Let me out, Eddie, let's teach this woman a lesson, I'm going to pull her tongue out of her mouth!"
"Calm down, buddy," Eddie sighed, "save your energy, we'll have business to do later."
They were arguing here, and Jessica suddenly seemed to notice something, dropped the potato chips and stood up.
Venom continued to yell: "What? Do you want to fight?"
Naturally, Jessica couldn't hear what it said. She walked straight to the window and watched the two beams of car lights at the end of the street piercing the darkness and projecting over, as a truck dragging a heavy metal container slowly approached along the street.
Eddie also came to the window. Neither of them were ordinary people. They could clearly see the license plate of the car below from a distance of several hundred meters.
"Is this the one we're waiting for?" Jessica asked.
"It looks like it is."
Eddie said, took two steps back and took off his backpack and camera.
