Chapter 199 Why are you so proficient? (Part 3) _2

Just then, a burst of viscous fluid erupted from the lunatic across the room, and immediately after, a huge monster appeared in the middle of the room. Its mouth full of fangs, it roared at Thor. Thor gritted his teeth and said, "You again? Have you symbiotes not had enough?!!"

"Damn it! How did they get into the Nine Major Kingdoms??? What on earth are the troops guarding the external channels doing? When I get back, they're definitely getting a serious drilling!!"

The rampaging symbiote was too much for Thor, a mere mortal, to handle. The huge symbiote monster charged and sent Thor smashing against the wall, breaking two of his ribs and fracturing the arms he used to cushion the impact.

Thor gritted his teeth, coughed up some blood, but still got up from the ground, resuming his position in front of the ordinary people.

The crazed symbiote let out another roar, and as it pounced to mid-air, a purple figure flashed across.

With a "bang," the rampaging symbiote crashed to the ground and was gripped by the throat and pounded by a purple figure, much smaller in size.

Only when the crazed symbiote was hammered back into the man, did Spider Man stand up.

At this moment, a violent alarm sounded throughout the entire building, the lights started flashing, and the piercing sound reverberated in every room. Spider Man turned his head to find the armed guards storming into the room. He nodded at Thor and telepathically told his symbiote, "Buddy, it's time to let loose!"

"Let loose, what does that mean?"

"You..." Peter said incredulously, "Are you seriously a symbiote? Don't you know the symbiote's routine?"

"Turn into a monstrous creature with sharp teeth and then use countless viscous tentacles to stick to all kinds of things and fling them around wildly..."

"I..." the symbiote said in frustration, "Only that maniac Venom does that! I'm an agile symbiote, not a violent freak!"

"Don't worry about that! Hurry up and get ready. Do as I say, they're going to open fire! 3...2...1!!!"

Accompanied by the flashing muzzles of guns, the purple slime erupted, and the purple symbiote monster appeared in the center of the room, sending several armed personnel flying with one punch before jumping out the window.

At the main entrance, a crowd of armed guards ran out with guns, and seeing his objective achieved, Spider Man prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a section of glass on the tenth floor of the Life Foundation building suddenly exploded, and a huge gray figure jumped down.

A gray silver symbiote slammed on the ground and said: "Phantom!! You're not getting away!!"

"Riot!! You traitorous cosmic special agent!!" A female voice roared.

"I think there's a misunderstanding between us symbiotes. I never abused Venom! We worked together quite happily!"

"Venom?? Are you the previous host of Venom???"

"So it was you who went to the cosmic port in Andromeda, bombed the Dwarf Race's spaceship, splattered them with feces, publicly insulted their leader, causing the Dwarf Race to blame all of it on the cosmic special agents?? Hahahahaha!!!"

"Hold on! That wasn't me, I am…"

The silver-gray symbiote didn't seem to care. With a roar, it charged at Spider Man, and in an instant, the gray and purple symbiotes were entangled in a tangle.

While they were enthusiastically tangled, Eddie and Matt had already infiltrated the interior of the Life Foundation building.

Eddie, looking at the map sent out by Spider Man, quickly arrived at the underground section of the Life Foundation building with Matt. At this moment, Thor was evacuating ordinary people who had been injected with anesthetics.

Since the evacuation was progressing too slowly with Thor alone, Matt had to stay behind to help him, while Eddie proceeded alone to the core hub in the basement.

With Venom's help in overcoming a host of security measures, and using the slime to pry open the door lock of the core hub, Eddie successfully entered the room where the Life Foundation kept all its data.

Although he was inside the room, faced with a bunch of complex machines and multiple layers of security programs, Eddie said, "Come on, I'm just a journalist, isn't this a bit too challenging?"

"Shut up, watch."

Immediately, Venom appeared. He controlled Eddie to walk over to the machine, performing a dizzying series of operations. As he worked, he said, "Hah, it's actually a degraded version for civilian use. You really think this old thing can protect your data? You'd be better off keeping a couple of dogs here."

"The hardware is crap too, the output is so slow... let's see... They should fire all the programmers, their security programs are as vulnerable as paper."

"If the imbecile who designed this algorithm can earn such a high salary, then their boss is truly brainless."

Eddie asked in his mind, "What exactly was your previous host? Why are you so proficient?"

Venom pushed the non-existent glasses on his face, "Found it, it's here!"

Eddie hurriedly looked over, just as Matt, having finished saving the people, joined him. He looked at the blinking information on the large screen and said, "This should be the transaction records between the Life Foundation and the Hand Union."

"Let's see ... they sold quite a lot of Eternity Factor Potions to the Hand Union, um??? How come they are so cheap???"

"Ah, I see now!" Matt said with a sudden realization, "I know why the Hand Union fell out with Kingpin!"

"Why?"

"Didn't Kingpin previously sell a batch of Eternity Factor Potions to the Hand Union? According to the data I investigated, he sold them at a high price, claiming they were unique and that aside from official channels, his was the only place they could be purchased."

"So, the Hand Union found cheaper ones from the Life Foundation?"

"Exactly, the Hand Union must feel they got duped. They just purchased a batch of goods from Kingpin at a high price, only to find out what they had bought was neither unique nor worth the price. Obviously, Kingpin won't offer refunds and the two parties fell out."

"The only question now is, how can they sell it so cheap? It should be expensive to fake this stuff," Matt mused, stroking his chin.

At this moment, Venom piped up: "That's because what they're selling isn't Eternity Factor Potions, but extracts from symbiotes."

"Symbiotes, you're talking about your kind, right?"

"Exactly, but don't lump me in with those idiotic fellows of mine. The fact that they would allow humans to capture them as experimental subjects is a disgrace."

Just then, a loud noise came from the ground, Eddie and Matt looked up together. Matt told Eddie, "You go up and check it out first, I'll stay here to copy the data."

When Eddie arrived at the ground floor, he saw a purple monster walloping a silver-grey one relentlessly. The silver-grey monster screamed while saying, "Damn it!! Phantom!! How can you be this strong, aren't you the weakest member of the cosmic special agents?!!"

"It's not me!! It's my host!!!"

The symbiote called Phantom said, still sounding somewhat astonished:

"He is unbelievably strong!!!"
