A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Uh... give me some more time, I should be recovered by tomorrow." Cao Gui touched his nose, equally uncertain.

"Okay." Gwen nodded upon hearing this. If she didn't know that Cao Gui was physically strong, she would have taken him to the hospital.

So, this dead guy must have made a breakthrough in combat power, Gwen immediately guessed.

"Then I'll go find Kem. You get some rest." Gwen waved and turned to leave. She had chatted with Kem for a bit before coming. The two girls hadn't seen each other in a long time and planned to have a good get-together.

Cao Gui shrugged, watched Gwen leave, then tapped his foot. With a crackling sound, only the smell of burning air remained in the air, and Cao Gui's figure vanished abruptly.

Damn it, how dare she look down on me! Tonight I'll teach Gwen a lesson in fear!

Rumble!

A few rumbles of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky over Los Angeles.

"Strange...there are no clouds in the sky." A motorcyclist stopped his bike, looked up at the sky, and muttered in confusion, "Why do I suddenly think of thunder?"

"Hey! Eddie, you idiot, don't just park anywhere in the street!" A car pulled up beside him, and a chubby middle-aged man leaned out of the window.

“Eddie, you’re a journalist, a public figure. Please don’t do things that damage your image.”

Chapter 286 Venom Eddie Brock

Dick dick~

On a street in Los Angeles, a commercial pedestrian street, although wide, there is a lot of traffic. Passing vehicles subconsciously slow down, but impatiently honk their horns.

Inside the street-side coffee shop, Gwen and Kem chattered away, the two girls talking non-stop from the moment they met, as if they had endless topics to discuss.

Cao Gui, standing beside her, touched his nose, feeling a bit strange. He couldn't talk to Gwen for that long. Their daily routine usually involved chatting for a while, and somehow the conversation would veer off into driving.

Then... it turned into the bedroom...

Ahem... Cao Gui came to his senses and, instead of interrupting the two girls' conversation, turned his gaze to a brown-haired young man sitting in the chair opposite him.

His name is Jimmy, Kim's boyfriend. He is of Latin descent. Cao Gui came here because Kim brought her boyfriend. When Gwen saw this, she made a phone call and summoned Cao Gui as well.

No matter how good the relationship is, you can't lose in terms of momentum.

So, the current situation is that the two women are talking non-stop, while the two men are staring at each other.

This is a women's domain, and they have no say. Cao Gui subconsciously ignores the topics discussed among the girls.

but……

"Gwen, did you see the news this morning?" Kem asked excitedly.

"A spaceship crashed in Borneo, but it belongs to the Life Foundation in Los Angeles. I wonder if it brought back aliens, like ET or something."

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui's gaze shifted slightly. A large company plus a spaceship—the scent of something big was immediately apparent.

"Oh? Borneo? The American spaceship crashed in Borneo?" Cao Gui asked in confusion.

“Yes, but I heard that foundation isn’t a good place,” Jimmy chuckled.

"Yesterday, Eddie Block asked him about the number of deaths from illegal experiments on a live broadcast, and today, that reporter resigned."

"That sounds domineering," Cao Gui commented.

"Cao, you seem quite interested in Borneo?" Kem asked with a puzzled look, Cao Gui emphasizing Borneo twice in his tone.

"Oh, don't worry about it." Gwen smiled and waved her hand dismissively.

“He found a treasure in Borneo, so he’s very interested in that place.”

"What?" Kem's mouth dropped open. "Another treasure hunt? I remember the last time you came to Los Angeles, you found a five million dollar treasure in Utah."

"Ahem, keep it low-key." Cao Gui waved his hand, mimicking Gwen: "It's just a few hundred million in gold, not worth a billion, not worth a billion..."

Kem: "..."

Damn it, Gwen got the hang of it!

Jimmy: "..."

Damn it, this guy got away with it!

"Let's talk about the Life Foundation," Cao Gui said, changing the subject at the opportune moment. "It seems to be a fairly large company, even bigger than Osborne?"

"I'm not sure about that, but they've conducted many illegal experiments," Kem said, his tone becoming serious.

"The person in charge of this organization is an Indian-American named Drake, a scientist, a capitalist, and a crazy guy who always talks a lot about how humans are parasites and destroyers."

"So humans should pursue self-evolution or something, it's pretty crazy."

Cao Gui and Gwen exchanged a glance, thinking that there seemed to be just as many lunatics in Los Angeles as in New York.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, the two girls disappeared and started their daily routine: shopping.

This was tough on Cao Gui and Jimmy, who followed Gwen and Kem around as their bag carriers, doing nothing but shopping all day.

Anyway, both of them had plenty of savings, so they didn't care about these tens of thousands of US dollars.

However, compared to Cao Gui, Kem's boyfriend Jimmy was in a much worse state. Cao Gui's body was already superhuman, but he was just feeling mentally exhausted. As for Jimmy... his face turned pale.

Poor child!

Cao Gui silently mourned for him in his heart.

Perhaps the two girls also realized their boyfriends' problems, so they suggested going to an amusement park and then a movie together. However, while playing at the amusement park, the four of them split into two groups, and before long... the two groups got separated.

What a joke! What's the difference between best friends and boyfriends? Once you have a boyfriend, why would you need best friends?

And so, Cao Gui and Gwen spent the whole day at the amusement park, only leaving after sunset.

"Want to go to the movie theater?" Cao Gui asked.

"Are you sleeping on the sofa again tonight?" Gwen asked in return.

“…I’m not going to sleep.” Cao Gui was speechless.

"Then why bother going to the movies?" Gwen chuckled, pressed herself against Cao Gui, and tilted her head back to lift Cao Gui's chin:

"Honey, I have a 3090ti in my room. I heard it can do backflips like an orange tabby cat. Want to come and take a look?"

"!!!"

Cao Gui's breathing suddenly became heavy, his heart pounded wildly, and a strange heat surged within him.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go back!" Cao Gui said quickly, pulling Gwen into the car.

However, just as Cao Gui started the car and put it in gear, several sharp whooshing sounds came from behind the car.

A red glint flashed in Cao Gui's eyes, and his Observation Haki immediately gave a warning: danger was approaching!

Cao Gui was startled and slammed the accelerator to the floor. He quickly turned the steering wheel, and with a screech, the whole car spun around in place.

Boom boom boom!

Two loud explosions followed in quick succession, sending scorching shockwaves crashing into Cao Gui's car.

"Damn it! What's going on?!" Gwen exclaimed in shock and anger.

“It’s a drone!” Cao Gui said in a deep voice.

Five or six small drones were rapidly chasing a homeless man on a motorcycle on the street. The man looked like a poor, down-on-his-luck white man.

At the same time, three black cars were following behind the man, speeding toward Cao Gui and his companion.

"Oh yeah! Hahaha, you almost succeeded!" the white man from the lower class shouted as he turned around, looking extremely excited.

But in reality, it was a sense of relief at surviving a disaster; he could only vent his lingering fear in this way.

“Darling, something seems off about his hands,” Gwen said softly, her brows furrowing slightly.

“I saw it.” Cao Gui nodded. The man’s two arms were covered with a black, sticky-looking substance.

"Hahaha, that was awesome..." On the motorcycle, the down-on-his-luck white man roared to the sky, still reeling from the near-death experience.

however……

Bang!

Suddenly, a dump truck came hurtling out from the side, its front end slamming into the man. Instantly, the disheveled white man was sent flying sideways, his limbs flailing as he went.

"Come on!"

Cao Gui thoughtfully provided him with voiceover, and at the same time, the man crashed heavily from the sky.

Blood immediately flowed from his seven orifices, and a broken bone protruded directly from his kneecap, making him look extremely gruesome.

Behind him, the black sedan slowly came to a stop, and a bald white man stepped out: "Eddie, you really know how to cause me trouble!"

clap clap clap!

The bald man slapped the down-on-his-luck white man's face hard and grinned maliciously.

However, just when Cao Gui and the other man thought the matter was about to end, a layer of black, sticky stuff suddenly gushed out from the half-dead, half-alive white man lying on the ground.

With a few crisp cracking sounds, Eddie's injuries were instantly healed.

At the same time, he transformed into a thing that was over two meters tall, with a shiny black, sticky body, muscular build, sharp teeth, and a long, thin tongue.

A glint flashed in Cao Gui's eyes. Venom?

With a snap, Venom's thick arm grabbed the bald white man by the neck and lifted him up.

"Eyes, lungs, and pancreas, they smell delicious...wait a minute!"

At this moment, Venom suddenly turned its head, its large, pale eyes looking at Gwen beside Cao Gui:

"Interesting, this girl smells... amazing!"

In the driver's seat, Cao Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flashing with lightning, and a chilling killing intent immediately emanated from them.
