Soon, Luke saw the news about the unexpected death of Carlton Drake, the head of the Life Foundation. All the previously suppressed and hidden dirt on the Life Foundation was exposed. The California media went into a frenzy. Among them, Eddie Brock became a star among the reporters, achieving instant fame!
Because he had leaked so much dirt about the Life Foundation, the most sensational of which could be. To those who didn't know, Eddie Brock, who first exposed and reported the vast amount of dirt on the Life Foundation, had become a heroic journalist in California. He was widely praised for his courage to expose the dirty laundry of a major corporation, even when it cost him his job, and ultimately, for delivering a legendary blow to a major corporation.
This undoubtedly gave his career a legendary aura.
And just during these two days, Snoke also returned to Heberon with the symbiote he captured from Eddie.
"Wow, look who this is? Isn't this the bad boy Venom?" The moment An Jing saw the black liquid in the laboratory, he jumped out from Gwen's body and swung around the glass jar containing the venom like an alien, his tone full of gloating.
"Okay, you can rest today." Luke pushed her head, and it felt like jelly.
"What do you mean?" An Jing, who was used to coming to Luke's research and feeding at regular times, was stunned by the push. Her big eyes were full of confusion. She subconsciously glanced at the venom in the glass jar from the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat: Does this mean that she is no longer needed?
"Literally. I don't have time to study you today," Luke replied ruthlessly. He'd studied her solely to understand the symbiote's structure and abilities, but he couldn't use Quiet, which meant he couldn't conduct further experiments. Now that he had a new symbiote, Quiet's importance naturally took a back seat.
"Love the new and hate the old?" The quiet tentacles were like an angry cat with its fur standing on end. "I knew all you males in the universe are the same! I'm the veteran of this lab! My position is unshakable! This bad boy is nothing to research. He doesn't even have half the genetic abilities I have!"
Gwen looked at the angry An Jing awkwardly. It was you who resisted being studied earlier, but now it is you who is vying to be studied. She felt a little tired of being the host.
Gwen was actually quite happy with Luke's decision, as it would allow her to finish her work faster and spend time with her boyfriend, Peter. Yes, boyfriend! She and Peter were now lovers, deeply in love.
Sensing Gwen's thoughts, she was both angry and anxious. Her host was now obsessed with love, and she was tired of the dopamine secretion. She was now relying on Luke's "rations" of various flavors. Once she lost her position as the chief research subject in the laboratory, what would happen to her future "rations"?
Does it mean that I have to go back and feed on the host's dopamine of love?
She doesn't want it!
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
An Jing saw that Luke had no intention of changing his mind, and his malicious eyes immediately fell on the venom in the glass jar. The malice in his eyes made the venom in the glass jar twist and squeeze into a ball.
"Alright, your 'rations' remain the same," Luke said helplessly. He was afraid that if he spoke any slower, An Jing would find a way to get rid of the venom. She was usually very quiet and lazy, but that didn't mean she was without the ability to act and destroy!
This is also a problematic character.
"Happy research, then! Don't worry about Venom; feel free to use whatever means you have against it. It's quite resilient." Upon hearing this, An Jing immediately subsided, her intense malice dampening, her bristling tentacles gathering back together. However, she wasn't completely reassured. Instead, she stared intently at Luke, waiting to be fed. It was as if she wouldn't return to her host body unless he gave her "rations."
Luke took out a spherical spray bottle and threw it directly to the other party, indicating that she could leave.
"Don't throw it around! What if it falls? We don't have much rations anyway!" An Jing quickened Gwen's reflexes, reaching out to grab the spray can Luke threw her, mumbling and complaining as she retreated back into Gwen's body. Being able to avoid being studied while still maintaining her rations, An Jing was content!
It's just a bit of a guilty feeling of getting something for nothing!
It's strange, when did I start to feel guilty?
An Jing pondered this strangely, then determined that this sentiment must have come from the current host, Gwen Stacy! This host was good in every way, and she liked her personality. They were compatible in every way, but she found love and morality somewhat troubling. After all, the host's condition and personality would affect her.
This has led to her now having learned a new skill without any guidance: sleeping for a fixed period of time! Refusing to obtain any information from the outside world and not spying on the host's memories and thoughts at certain times.
This way she can feel much more at peace!
You can also be less affected.
As for that tiny feeling of guilt that arose?
An Jing looked at the venom in the glass jar and thought of it as her little brother paying for her! After all, she was the boss of this laboratory, and it was natural for her to enjoy some privileges.
"Then I'll take my leave first! My boyfriend will be visiting my house today, and I was just trying to buy some time with you." Gwen said goodbye to Luke with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Parker? I hope Director George likes him." Luke nodded.
…
After Gwen left, Luke headed for the lab room dedicated to symbiote research. Snoke followed behind, carrying the glass jar that served as a container for venom. Along the way, Snoke briefly briefed Luke on subsequent events. For example, when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents forcibly took over the Life Foundation and detained Carlton Drake, he was also infested by a symbiote. Judging by the symbiote's behavior, the symbiote and the symbiote were quite compatible. This caused great trouble for the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, resulting in casualties!
Without Team Snoke, and given that most S.H.I.E.L.D. agents carry healing potions when deployed, this operation would undoubtedly have a high probability of failure. Even if they could prevent the enemy rocket from launching, capturing Carlton, who was being used as a host by a symbiote, would be impossible. Ultimately, they obtained five symbiotes from the Life Foundation, along with all of its stored data, including information related to the location of the symbiote's comet.
