Not long after Eddie was taken away by Annie, a group of heavily armed men without any markings suddenly sensed the danger and took control of everyone immediately. These people are not ordinary law enforcement officers, because law enforcement officers will not treat New York citizens so roughly in such a bustling place. That would be complained to death.
These people quickly established an isolation zone and announced to everyone present that this place has been controlled by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Because a rare infectious disease broke out here, all three blocks here were placed under martial law. , anyone who fails to cooperate will be prosecuted for endangering public safety!
The soldiers were armed with live ammunition and spoke in a stern voice. For a while, even New Yorkers who were famous for their hypocrisy did not dare to say anything.
Accept the investigation obediently.
Seeing that the isolation zone was set up, the police arrived belatedly.
"Director Wayne." Soon the leader of this group of armed men greeted Kai, who was leading the team. This man was no stranger. He was the colonel of the Ministry of National Defense who met Kai that day.
This place belongs to the center of Manhattan and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the 15th Precinct, but don't forget that Kai is still the director of the Special Investigation Department. His enforcement authority is a very high priority and covers the entire New York City.
This time Kai brought the newly formed 'Special Department'.
Due to professional reasons, the colonel turned his attention to the newly formed department in New York as soon as he saw Kai. With the colonel's professional vision, he could tell that this team was no ordinary police team.
To soldiers, police are actually civilians with guns. But these are not. Although there are people among them who are obviously police officers, most of them have a very strong military atmosphere! The colonel was unmistakable on this point.
This made the colonel put away his contempt. The quality of these people was quite high.
Kai walked up to the colonel helplessly and complained: "You guys are really capable, why don't you make it so big? This is New York!"
The Ministry of National Defense is quite reliable in its work. They have notified Kai before taking action. Of course, they didn't give Kai much time to react. Kai quite understood this. After all, there was no need to notify Kai at all of what the Ministry of National Defense wanted to do. This is also because of Kai's identity, he doesn't want to be nasty with Kai like SHIELD did.
"There is no need to worry about this. All actions are legal. Even if I want to scold you, I will not scold you New York police."
Look, this is what works! When I look at SHIELD, every day there are five people and six people, always acting like the boss of the sky and the second child, and they also act like I am doing it for your own good. Who is disgusting with this?
"Okay." Kai couldn't blatantly compete with the Ministry of National Defense for people. So faced with this passable statement, Kai could only accept it. Of course, Kai is not without his back-ups.
Batman and Hannibal are on standby, ready to strike at any time. Kai's attitude towards symbiotes is simple: find them and kill them! It's that simple. Kai is unwilling to let alien monsters wander around his city.
"Have you found your target?"
Kai said, pretending not to care.
Of the five symbiotes, only Venom remains in New York, but the problem is that Kai doesn't know where to find Venom. Symbiotes are different from other things. If they hide in the host's body, it is really difficult to find them.
At least the Life Foundation's experiment log does not give any screening methods.
"Eddie Brock." The colonel didn't have anything to guard against. In their view, even if Kai knew this, there would be no threat. After all, what would Kai do with that thing?
Why should we cover up this kind of trust that is not real? And after all, this is New York, and if you want to capture the symbiote... you need the help of the New York police.
"Eddie?" Kai really didn't expect this choice. After all, Eddie seemed normal for a long time, while the other symbiotic people basically turned into monsters and killed them as soon as they appeared. For this reason, Kai However, many people were lost, so this also led to Kai always thinking that the symbiote was an uncontrollable monster, which was also supported by the experimental data of the Life Foundation. But Eddie is normal!
Kai immediately called for the 'red-haired woman' Scarlett, a former special forces intelligence expert who is still in charge of intelligence.
"Find out where Eddie Brock is!"
"yes!"
Then Kai asked in confusion: "Since it is determined that the target is Eddie Brock...why are you doing this?" Kai pointed to the isolation belt. At present, testing in the isolation belt has begun in an orderly manner, nominally for infectious diseases. Disease detection. But Kai discovered that these tests actually included nuclear magnetic resonance... I wonder if the American people are really stupid. They use nuclear magnetic resonance to detect infectious diseases? Even if you are infected, the lesions will not form so quickly.
"Of course, just in case. What if the symbiote runs into other people? This possibility is not small. According to the information of the Life Foundation, these guys are intelligent."
"Tsk, you guys are really good at it. Forget it, I will arrange for someone to act for you. When it's over, you ask the CDC to issue a statement, and then everyone goes back to their homes."
"In terms of intelligence..." The colonel looked at Kai longingly.
"Have someone meet Scarlett. By the way, let me remind you, don't make a big scene, otherwise everyone's face will not look good." Kai finally reminded the colonel. After all, this is New York, and the people in Washington really don't care. It must be able to hold down the New Yorkers. After all, New Yorkers are famous for having high self-esteem, which really pissed them off, and the president responded.
"I understand." The colonel assured him seriously. After all, if things get really big, the boss above him may not necessarily protect him. He has no plans to make fun of his future. If the symbiote can catch him, just catch him. If he can't catch him, don't make a big scene in New York.
…
Eddie was taken to the hospital by his ex-girlfriend Annie. In fact, Eddie himself was quite frightened. He has just reached the peak of his life! It would be such a loss if you burp!
Annie found a doctor with whom she had a good personal relationship, and jumped in to perform a set of examinations on Eddie. During the MRI, a black and sticky thing like asphalt seemed to be unable to withstand the MRI and ran out of Eddie's body.
Annie went to check up on Eddie, while the doctor and assistant were looking at the computer next door while they were checking. When they heard Eddie yelling, they felt something was wrong, and when they got up and went to open the door and enter the next room, they accidentally failed to see the venom that escaped from the body.
But when Eddie told them the truth, the doctor and others looked at Eddie as if he was a psycho.
After all, who would believe this kind of thing?
Eddie seemed to want to explain something, but the doctor seriously suspected that this guy had taken too many drugs. And secretly warned Annie not to get too close to this guy. Well, the doctor is also one of Annie's suitors, and he even knows Eddie, but he's just unfamiliar with it. Now the doctor feels that Annie following Eddie is like a flower stuck in cow dung.
What's even more outrageous is that this piece of cow dung is also on drugs.
Annie always believed in Eddie. After all, Eddie was a reporter. He had never seen anything and was a special person. It was impossible for such a person to take drugs.
Of course, Eddie's current state does have some problems.
But it was also because Annie became more and more unwilling to give up Eddie.
…
Just when Annie was about to take Eddie to the mental hospital to have his head looked at, the police station on the other side also received news that Eddie appeared at the hospital, so a team of military special forces immediately went to the hospital.
This shocked the hospital.
"Did Eddie Brock check up on you?" The soldier leading the team asked the doctor sternly.
The doctor was dumbfounded. He was just an ordinary doctor. He had never seen such a scene.
"Yes Yes."
"We want all his medical records!"
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you right away." After saying that, the doctor immediately asked his assistant to bring over the medical records.
Then the assistant said with a bitter look on his face: "There seems to be something wrong with the computer."
The doctor was stunned: "What's the problem?"
Assistant: "I don't know why, but it suddenly crashed just now. Then I restarted it and found..." He hesitated a little.
The doctor said frantically: "So?"
Assistant: "Well, there's no other problem. It's just that your friend's inspection data just now is gone."
Now all the special forces present were staring at the doctor.
The doctor broke into a cold sweat, who the hell is so cheating?
Unconvinced, he immediately searched both sides with his assistants, accompanied by several soldiers, and indeed did not find Eddie's examination data.
"This...this...this..."
The soldiers looked at the doctor coldly, and then the officer leading the team immediately dialed the colonel's phone number. Said things simply and clearly.
The colonel was also stunned.
So I quickly called Kai.
When Kai heard this, he knew who could do this without even thinking: "S.H.I.E.L.D."
Just a few words immediately gave the colonel a tingling feeling. He believed it immediately. The military was determined to win the symbiote in New York, and SHIELD was their biggest competitor!
Originally, he thought that by cooperating with the police, their intelligence capabilities should be no worse than SHIELD, but now SHIELD can delete Eddie's medical records before they can.
This kind of intelligence capability...
"Find Eddie now, otherwise, your efforts will be in vain. Come on, Colonel." Kai said on the phone.
"Help me! Kai! Help us!" The colonel immediately called for foreign aid.
"That's impossible, Colonel." Kai refused him calmly. "Although I don't like SHIELD, I can't take a stand on this kind of thing. You should understand. Besides, I've already helped enough."
The conflict between Kai and S.H.I.E.L.D. has been a personal conflict from the beginning, at most the NYPD. But if Kai gets involved in the competition between SHIELD and the military... there's really no need for that. Kai can favor the military because of some personal relationships, but there is no need to push himself toward the military. That would do no good and would be unnecessary. And doing so will make many people feel uncomfortable. Kai is no longer a soldier, he represents New York. New York has no interest in getting involved in the dispute between SHIELD and the military.
"S.H.I.E.L.D...." The colonel also knew that Kai had already reached the level of a car, and it would be a bit too much to leave him directly.
"I know." The colonel also calmed down.
"Well, I'm glad you're awake, Colonel." Kai said, "In addition, I will send people to set up defenses where Eddie may go. This is the only thing I can do for you."
"Thank you very much! Director Wayne. Thank you very much!"
"Work harder, Colonel."
…
Eddie got out of the car by himself when he arrived at the door of his house, without letting Annie take him off again. He didn't go to a mental hospital after all.
Watching Annie drive away, he took a step to enter the building, but suddenly remembered that he had wiped out all the food at home last night, so he could only turn around and go to the small Chinese supermarket not far away to buy something. Opening the door and going in, the landlady greeted him familiarly when she saw him: "Hello, Eddie. I read the report, and it seems that you are going to be prosperous."
"Hello, Mrs. Chen." Eddie said absently, "Maybe, this is a terrible life."
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when she smelled the strange smell in the air.
Eddie was sweating all over last night this morning. He hadn't taken a shower yet. He soaked in the park pond and dried it naturally. He also ate a fish raw... The taste... was indescribable. "
Pushing the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose covertly, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but shake her head: "You smell really bad. Did you go to the garbage dump to eat?"
She wouldn't be stupid enough to say something like "You look and smell like shit" to a regular customer.
Eddie smiled bitterly: "Thanks for the reminder, you look radiant." He walked towards the food area at the back.
When she was far away from the counter at the door, Mrs. Chen's voice still sounded behind her: "Have you not practiced the yoga I mentioned? It can relax your body and mind. By the way, you can reduce stress. You really seem to need to relax."
"Yoga? Oh, I don't believe in that thing. Just doing a few movements can relax your mind? Then the psychiatrists will be laid off."
Mrs. Chen had a look that saw everything through: "How can it be useful if you haven't practiced it yet?"
"The yoga DVD your cousin gave me is in Chinese. Do I need a Chinese teacher to practice yoga?" Eddie rolled his eyes, walked into the food area without looking back, and started throwing food into the basket.
"Ding~" The doorbell rang, indicating that a new customer came in. Eddie didn't care and concentrated on picking food. He feels really hungry now, so hungry that he even wants to take out the things in the trash can and eat them.
At this time, there was a slight voice coming from the cashier near the door. He subconsciously poked his head out and took a look, frowning.
They were two people in strange attire, a man and a woman. One guy even carried a bow and arrows.
Gee, there are still people carrying bows and arrows on the streets these days. Are they used for hunting?
The people on the street will be in trouble.
Eddie ignored him and turned around just to leave.
"Run!"
Eddie was stunned, who was talking?
He looked left and right and found that he was alone.
"Run! They're here to catch you!"
The voice came again.
Eddie heard clearly now.
"who?"
Eddie shouted.
At this time, Mrs. Chen shouted loudly: "Woody! Stop talking, I am talking to the guests!"
Woody? Isn't that Mrs. Chen's cousin? Eddie was very familiar with that magical boy who sold everything, because he could often get some cheap pirated CDs and some unknown 'antiques' and electrical appliances from Woody.
Is he there too?
Eddie looked everywhere and saw no one.
At this time, he heard Mrs. Chen's deliberately amplified voice again: "Eddie? I didn't see him."
Only then did Eddie realize that Mrs. Chen was reminding him!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken so deliberately.
"Run! They're coming!"
The voice came again and Eddie was going crazy.
"Woody, can you go back and clear the table?" Mrs. Chen shouted again.
Eddie couldn't care less. He knew how much harm his report had done to the Life Foundation. It would be totally normal if someone troubled him about it! He must leave quickly.
"Oh!" Eddie muttered back, and then walked quickly towards the back door of the supermarket.
