Under the bright sunlight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets whizzed through the air, aimed at the fleeing figure at the speed of sound.
However, despite being hit multiple times, even in the head, they had no effect.
The middle-aged man, enduring the gunfire, escaped from the base at a speed surpassing that of an ordinary person.
"Oh, shit!"
Watching the middle-aged man gradually disappear, the armed guards looked grim, with some cursing under their breath.
The Life Foundation was in an uproar, with vehicles speeding out to chase the escaping man.
Half an hour later...
"Weak humans!"
Controlling the man riding the stolen motorcycle, Venom's hoarse voice was full of complaints.
He could feel that this body was reaching its limit and would soon die.
At that point, he would have to crawl out of this body. If he couldn't find a new host that could adapt to Earth's environment, he would soon perish!
Not wanting to die, he quickly took action. His black, sludge-like body split into two parts, with the larger one taking up ninety percent and the smaller one taking up ten percent.
The motorcycle roared, the wind howling past.
The larger part of Venom's body squirmed out of the middle-aged man's chest, then, seizing the moment, leaped toward a strong man in his thirties or forties walking on the sidewalk.
"Oh, hell, what is this?!"
Walking down the corridor, forced by his boss to go to the Life Foundation for an interview, Eddie saw a black mass flying towards him and cursed.
Before he could brush off the sticky thing, it seeped into his skin and vanished!
"What the hell!"
Eddie Brock was shocked, feeling like he wanted to dissect himself.
He searched his body but found nothing.
As he panicked, a hoarse voice came from within him.
"Shut up!"
Ignoring Eddie's stunned reaction, Venom marveled internally.
"I don't think there's a better host than this one..."
After parasitizing this human, Venom was surprised to find that this body was highly compatible with him!
He had never experienced such compatibility in all his parasitic endeavors on Earth!
Previous human test subjects would die because they couldn't sustain him, their organs failing over time.
But this guy, Eddie, had a body that greatly satisfied him, making him believe he couldn't find a better one.
While Venom was pleased, Eddie was panicking. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man on the motorcycle continued to speed away.
He was meant to divert the pursuers for Venom!
He didn't care about the small part of Venom left in the man's body.
That part would probably be found by the Life Foundation and locked in a lab.
While Venom considered how to communicate with Eddie, the middle-aged man two kilometers away was surrounded by Life Foundation agents.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Bullets and tranquilizer darts rained down on him.
Soon, the middle-aged man fell to the ground.
"I got him," one of the black-suited men said into his walkie-talkie.
"Bring him back!" a voice replied excitedly.
"Roger that."
The black-suited men lifted the middle-aged man into a car and headed back to the Life Foundation.
In their haste, they didn't notice a thumb-sized blob of black liquid seeping from the man's finger and rolling into a nearby sewer grate.
In the dark sewer, Venom squirmed, feeling increasingly anxious.
He knew that if he didn't find a host soon, this weak body would die!
He didn't want to die!
From the moment he separated, he became an independent entity, despite still being connected to the larger part.
Quickly, he sensed something and leaped onto a gray rat.
The rat's beady eyes glowed eerily as it swiftly scurried through the sewer.
He needed to find a compatible host quickly!
"Damn you, you'll regret abandoning me. I'll make you regret it..."
...
While the situation with Venom caused chaos, several kilometers away, Syd was practicing black particles.

"Hmm?"
After an hour of practice, Syd suddenly stopped.
A notification abruptly appeared in his mind.
"Hidden in an unseen corner, a hunter is aiming at you, seemingly preparing to kill..."
Syd's face changed slightly, and he instinctively used spatial shift.

Appearing ten meters away, he looked back at where he had been standing.
Thud!
A long bullet embedded itself deeply into the ground!
"Another sniper?" Syd's face darkened.
The next second, he followed the direction from which the bullet had come.
Two hundred meters away was a three-story building...
[Spatial Shift Experience +1]
He disappeared from his spot again.
By now, he had a good idea of where the sniper was located.
As he moved towards the building, Jack and Albert, hiding inside, began to panic.
"What do we do, boss? He found us!"
"Run!"
Albert didn't even bother with the sniper rifle, turning and bolting.
Jack hesitated for a moment, then hurried after him.
A few minutes later, they were sprinting down a dark corridor.
"Should be safe now, right?"
Looking around and seeing no one following, Jack sighed in relief.
But just then, a figure appeared before them.
"Who are you? Who sent you to assassinate me?" Syd asked coldly.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, black particles floating around it, ready to be fired at any moment.
"Wait, we'll talk!"
Panicking, Jack quickly said, "We're assassins. We took a dark web contract to kill you."
"Dark web?" Syd was taken aback.
He was familiar with the dark web, having heard about it in his previous life.
Beneath the surface internet lay the dark web, where illegal transactions often took place.
This assassination was likely ordered by someone on the dark web and carried out by these unlucky hitmen.
