On the evening Eddie Brock was fired, Carlton Drake welcomed the convoy escorting the three symbiotes.
With a group of scientists, Carlton Drake opened the doors of the escort vehicles and marveled at the symbiotes confined in the containers, wriggling inside.
"Oh my god!"
"You are truly magnificent!"
Not only Carlton Drake, but all the researchers behind him craned their necks to see the three extraterrestrial beings in the containers, showing expressions of excitement.
They believed that Carlton Drake's research and dream of finding a new habitat were no longer just fantasies but had certain feasibility.
Aside from these three, the only symbiote that escaped the ship's rampage controlled a body and began its life.
…
A week later-
Charles woke up from bed, as usual, first completed his check-in and received 50 delicious instant ramen rewards from the system. Then he washed up and went to the dining area to have breakfast.
Ordering a traditional Chinese breakfast of soy milk, fried dough sticks, and three sesame rice balls, Charles ate while watching the news on TV.
At that moment, a news reporter was holding a microphone standing in front of a burning building, reporting live.
"ABC News reporter Ruth Cania is here to report live for you. Currently, I'm on Third Avenue in Manhattan."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion sounded, and a house on the upper floor of the apartment building stored some flammable and explosive materials. It suddenly exploded in the raging fire, shattering the windows of the room.
With the glass shattered, flames spewed out like a heat wave from the window, heading towards the stairs.
The sudden situation also startled reporter Ruth, who continued to speak, "As it's the peak rush hour for work, the entire Third Avenue and the surrounding neighborhoods are quite congested, making it difficult for fire trucks to arrive quickly."
"At present, the fire is fierce, and all we can do is hope that the residents upstairs can run to the rooftop to escape the fire."
At this moment, an Asian man suddenly ran to the bottom of the apartment building. He punched the wall, creating a hole in the building, and then began climbing up with ease, using the hole he made with his fists and feet to ascend the burning apartment building.
And the live broadcast scene directly captured this scene, catching the attention of reporter Ruth.
"Oh my god, what did I just see?"
"Is he a Superhuman? He actually climbed up this eighteen-story apartment building without protective gear or a rope."
The person on the building wasn't someone else but the newly appointed agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chen Haoran. He arrived at the thirteenth floor, where smoke was billowing out of the windows.
After entering the room from the window, just a few seconds later, he emerged from the room carrying a child. Holding the child, Chen Haoran came to the window, glanced at the room behind him, and then jumped down directly.
"Dong!"
With a dull sound, Chen Haoran jumped directly from the thirteenth floor while holding the child, causing cracks to appear on the ground beneath him.
Chen Haoran put the child down and gently touched the child's forehead, saying, "Little buddy, you're safe now."
At this moment, a woman rushed over from outside the barricade and hugged the child in front of her, exclaiming, "Heavens, Konnie, you're okay! I was so worried!"
She then turned to Chen Haoran with excitement and gratitude, saying, "Thank you, thank you for saving my child."
Chen Haoran waved his hand and didn't say much attention to her. Instead, he rushed back into the building to rescue other people.
Soon, all the trapped residents on the top floor were saved by Chen Haoran.
The rescued people stood around Chen Haoran, expressing their gratitude.
Seeing the people surrounding him, constantly thanking him, Chen Haoran's face showed a happy smile. He was very happy to be able to help others.
At this moment, ABC reporter Ruth approached with a cameraman.
"Sir, thank you very much for your assistance. You're like Superman, saving people from fire. I wonder what your name is!"
Looking at the reporter in front of him, Chen Haoran showed a friendly smile and replied, "You can call me Flame Warrior."
"Flame Warrior?"
"Yes, Flame Warrior. That's what my colleagues call me."
Then Chen Haoran didn't stay at the scene any longer. He quickly ran out of the crowd and swiftly climbed up the building again, disappearing from the sight of the crowd with a few jumps.
As for Ruth, who had just interviewed him, she seemed to have a sudden realization as she watched Chen Haoran disappear. She shouted into the camera, "Heavens, New York is about to welcome its third superhero—Flame Warrior!"
Watching the news on TV, Charles knew that this was the person created by his enhanced physique serum. He didn't expect S.H.I.E.L.D. to start working on Chen Haoran like this.
Was this a plan to let him debut? It seemed that Chen Haoran would be the media's new darling for some time to come.
The third superhero in New York, quite interesting.
Afterward, Charles changed the channel, and on this channel, there was a media interview, featuring none other than the several individuals whom Ginny had met and the hired lawyers to sue the Life Foundation.
In front of the camera, several people were crying uncontrollably, and behind them, a banner was raised, "Life Foundation disregards life, return our family members!"
They then reported to the public about the malice of the Life Foundation, deceiving their families, signing illegal contracts, deceiving them into doing experimental work without guarantees, and resulting in the loss of their lives.
One of the relatives even appealed, "I earnestly implore all the families who have lost their lives due to the Life Foundation to stand up and say no to them, and to seek compensation from them together."
"As long as we stand up, this company built on death and injustice will collapse."
While watching the news, Charles unhurriedly finished his breakfast.
