On the night Eddie Block was fired, Carl Drake was greeted by the convoy escorting the three Symbiote.
Carl Drake, accompanied by a group of scientists, opened the door of the escort vehicle and exclaimed in amazement upon seeing the writhing Symbiote imprisoned in the container.
"OMG!"
You are so beautiful!
It wasn't just Carl Drake who was marveling; all the researchers behind him craned their necks, watching the three alien creatures inside the container.
In their minds, this was the first living creature brought back to Earth, and they all showed excited expressions. At the same time, they no longer thought that Carl Drake's research and the dream of finding a new habitat were just a pipe dream, but rather a possibility.
Meanwhile, the only Symbiote to escape the spaceship, Riot, took control of a body and began his life.
······
One week later.
Charlotte woke up in bed and, as usual, checked in first, receiving 50 servings of Delicious Ramen as a system reward. After washing up, she went to the Dining Area to eat.
Charlotte ordered a Chinese breakfast: soy milk, fried dough sticks, and three sesame balls. She ate her breakfast while watching the news on TV.
At that moment, a news reporter could be seen on television, holding a microphone and standing in front of a burning building, making a broadcast.
"ABC reporter Ruth Kania is reporting live from Third Avenue in Manhattan."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion rang out. An apartment in the upper floor, containing some kind of flammable and explosive material, exploded amidst the fire, shattering the windows.
As the glass shattered, flames erupted from the window like a heatwave, burning towards the stairs.
The sudden situation startled reporter Ruth, who then continued, "Because it's the morning rush hour, Third Avenue and the surrounding area are quite congested, making it difficult for fire trucks to arrive quickly."
"The fire is currently extremely fierce, and all we can do is hope that the residents of the apartment building can run to the roof to escape the fire."
At this moment, many residents in the burning apartment were shouting for help.
As Ruth was broadcasting, an Asian man suddenly ran downstairs to the apartment building. He punched the wall, creating a hole in the building. Then, as if rock climbing, he used his fist and foot to climb up the burning apartment building through the hole he had created.
The live camera crew broadcast this scene, and Ruth, a reporter, also noticed it.
"My God, what did I just see?"
"Is he Superman? He climbed up this 18-story apartment building without any protective gear or ropes."
The person on the building at that moment was none other than Chen Haoran, a newly recruited agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He arrived at the thirteenth floor, where thick black smoke was already billowing from the windows of the apartment.
He entered the room through the window, and a few seconds later, he carried a child out of the room. Chen Haoran, holding the child, opened the window, glanced at the room behind him, and then jumped out.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, Chen Haoran jumped from the thirteenth floor with the child in his arms, and the ground beneath his feet immediately cracked.
Chen Haoran put the child down, stroked the child's forehead, and said, "Little friend, you're safe now."
At that moment, a woman rushed over from outside the police line, grabbed the child in front of her, and exclaimed:
"Oh my god, Connie, I'm so glad you're okay!"
"That scared Mom to death!"
She then excitedly thanked Chen Haoran, saying, "Thank you, thank you, you saved my child."
Chen Haoran waved his hand, didn't say anything more to the other party, and rushed back up the building to rescue the other people.
Chen Haoran quickly rescued all the residents who were trapped on the top floor.
The rescued people stood around Chen Haoran, all expressing their gratitude for his help.
At this moment, Chen Haoran looked at the people surrounding him and constantly thanking him, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He was very happy that he could help others.
At that moment, ABC reporter Lu Si walked over with her photographer.
"Sir, thank you so much for your help. You're like Superman, rescuing people from dire straits."
"I don't know your name!"
Looking at the reporter in front of him, Chen Haoran gave a friendly smile and said, "You can call me Blazing Hero."
"Blazing Hero?"
"Yes, Blazing Hero, that's what my colleagues call me."
Chen Haoran didn't linger at the scene. He ran straight out of the crowd, quickly climbed the building, and disappeared from everyone's sight with a few leaps.
Ruth, who had just been interviewed, looked at the vanished Chen Haoran and, as if suddenly realizing something, shouted into the camera, "My God, New York is about to welcome its third superhero— Blazing Hero!"
Watching the news on TV, Charlotte knew that this was Chen Haoran, the person created by her Physical Enhancement Serum. She didn't expect S.H.I.E.L.D.. to start working on him so quickly.
Is this a move to launch someone's career? It seems Chen Haoran will be a media darling for some time to come.
New York's third superhero, that's interesting.
Charlotte then switched to another channel, which was playing a media interview with none other than the group of people Ginny had met and hired lawyers to represent them in their lawsuit against the Life Foundation.
On camera, several people were seen sobbing uncontrollably, with a banner behind them reading, "The Life Foundation is a disregard for human life, give me back my family!" They then reported to the public the Life Foundation's evil deeds, how it deceived their families, forced them to sign illegal agreements, tricked them into participating in unsecured drug trials, and ultimately caused their deaths.
One family member even appealed, "We urge all families who lost their lives because of the Life Insurance Foundation to say no to them and demand compensation together."
"As long as we stand up, this company built on death and the souls of the innocent will fall."
Watching the news on TV, Charlotte knew this was Ginny's doing. She hadn't expected her to start making moves yet; she just didn't know how Drake would respond.
Then they switched to another channel, where a professor was criticizing the Life Gold Foundation, stating that their Rocket crash indicated their technology was incomplete and they did not yet have the capability for space exploration.
I switched channels several times. Some media outlets were pessimistic, while others were defending the Life Foundation. After all, Drake hadn't been idle this week; besides the Global Daily, he had also contacted many other media outlets.
Charlotte finished her breakfast while watching the news on TV.
