Chapter 558
The fame of Spider-Gwen and Black Cat is somewhat related to them. Whenever their fights get too intense and have a wide impact, Su Quan would have Spider-Gwen and Black Cat step in to stop them.
In addition, Su Quan's usual training for them included fighting against gangsters and thugs, so their reputation was quite good.
However, the Black Cat has been itching to steal a lot of priceless jewelry lately.
It wasn't because she was greedy or liked the jewelry, but because she enjoyed the thrill and sense of accomplishment of stealing.
Su Quan didn't care, after all, this was the Black Cat, and he could just secretly return it after she calmed down.
Stealing something without anyone noticing, and then returning it without anyone noticing, is exciting and gives the Black Cat a sense of accomplishment!
Martina Bancroft got up and came to Su Quan, sat down on him, and said somewhat seriously, "By the way, there's something I need to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Some time ago, Dr. Morbius went to a cave in the Mount Muyeid of Costa Rica and captured a lot of bats. Since then, he has been trying to incorporate bat DNA into his current experiments."
"Then--"
"The experiment may have been a success!"
Morbius's experiment was a success? That means the story is finally about to begin!
Su Quan hummed in agreement and said with a smile, "Go on, what do you want to ask for instructions?"
"Dr. Morbius wanted to conduct human experiments on himself, but according to procedures and regulations, doing so is illegal."
"He wants to conduct experiments on the high seas, Lucius Kron should be able to help him with the relevant aspects, but he can't complete the experiment alone, so he extended an invitation to me."
"If he succeeds, that's fine. But if he fails, it could affect your investment returns. And whether or not I accept his invitation is also up to you to decide."
Although Martina Bancroft admired Morbius's talent, she was Su Quan's spokesperson and Su Quan's woman, so she naturally wouldn't hide such an important matter from Su Quan.
She can distinguish between close and distant relatives, and she knows whose bowl she eats and whose food she takes!
Su Quan knew that Morbius's experiment on the high seas had succeeded, and he had been transformed into a vampire as a result.
Although this process caused some trouble, it was insignificant to Su Quan.
"If we disregard my perspective, would you want to go?" Su Quan asked with a smile.
Martina Bancroft thought for a moment and nodded, "I want to go. After all, I've been involved in this project, and I'm eager to know if it will succeed. I really want to witness its success with my own eyes."
"Then let's go."
A few days later.
Late at night.
Atlantic Ocean, high seas.
A huge cargo ship sailed quietly on the boundless sea.
Inside the ship's cabin, several hired mercenary sailors were drinking and playing cards, while on the other side, in a temporary laboratory set up in isolation, Morbius and Martina Bancroft were making final adjustments to the equipment.
"Formula adjustment complete, wish me luck!"
Morbius dripped a drop of blood onto the device, then turned to look at the monitor next to him, which was simulating his fusion experiment with bat DNA.
"Beep beep beep."
"Chimera Cells are stable."
Chimera phenomenon is a medical phenomenon in humans. Chimera, also known as Chimeras, refers to an organism composed of cells with different genotypes.
At the same time, the Chimera is also a mythical creature in Greek Mythology with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake.
"We did it! We did it!"
Morbius breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had conducted countless simulations before coming here, it was only at this moment of success that he was able to truly relax.
Martina Bancroft was also very excited, after all, she was also a participant and developer of the project.
"The 243rd test—a human experiment!"
Morbius put down the recorder, and the equipment next to him started working, quickly preparing a bottle of light green serum.
Then...
Ready for injection!
In the specially designed observation room, Morbius lay on a chair, his hands and feet restrained by straps, something in his mouth, and his body covered with devices to monitor his physical condition.
Martina Bancroft sat in front of the computer outside the observation room. The serum had already been injected into Morbius's body. Whether he would live or die, whether it would be a success or a failure, they could only wait and see.
A few minutes later, the previously quiet Morbius began to tremble slightly. As the trembling became more and more intense and rapid, Martina Bancroft's expression grew serious.
The trembling gradually turned into convulsions!
Suddenly, the lights on the cargo ship flickered a few times, and one of the mercenaries who was playing cards put down his cards, got up, and came out.
"I'm going to see that doctor, I'll be right back."
"Good."
"Hurry up!"
The other mercenaries didn't take it seriously and just gave a few perfunctory replies.
The door opened, and a mercenary carrying a submachine gun walked into the laboratory.
"You shouldn't have come here."
Martina Bancroft glanced at it, then continued staring at the data on the computer screen.
"I can go wherever I want, nurse." The mercenary glanced at the laboratory with a dismissive expression.
Martina Bancroft, without looking up, said, "It's a doctor!"
"A doctor? You do look a bit like one, but you're just an assistant, just like me," the mercenary said sarcastically.
Martina Bancroft turned to look at him. "Wow, you can tell just by looking? I thought you were just a brainless big guy."
Don't be fooled by her docile and obedient appearance in front of Su Quan; she can bite just as fiercely as a rabbit when she's with someone else!
Martina Bancroft stared at the laughing mercenary and said coldly and rudely, "Get out."
The mercenaries' laughter stopped abruptly, not because of Martina Bancroft, but because the equipment in the observation room emitted a piercing alarm.
The two turned to look at the observation room, where the chairs were empty.
Morbius is missing!
"Dr. Morbius?" Martina Bancroft got up and walked toward the door of the observation room, calling his name softly as she searched for him.
The mercenaries raised their guns as well.
The two opened the iron door of the observation room and went inside, revealing the dimly lit room.
Nobody's here.
Morbius has really disappeared!
"Bang—bang—bang—" A soft knocking sound came from above.
Martina Bancroft's gaze moved upwards, and she quickly spotted a dark figure in the corner of the roof.
"Dr. Morbius?"
Where is he?
The mercenary asked a question and then discovered a humanoid monster hanging upside down on the roof, baring its teeth and making strange noises.
"What the hell? What is this thing? Everyone, come here right now!"
The mercenary notified the others via earpiece.
"Receive!"
When he returned, the mercenaries responded and rushed over with their guns.
"Bang!"
The humanoid monster suddenly landed on all fours and lay on the ground in an attack stance.
"Da da da—da da da—"
The mercenary opened fire without hesitation.
A faint light flickered, and gunshots rang out.
The humanoid monster lunged the instant he fired, a streak of red light flashing in the darkness, and the mercenary was shoved against the wall and then thrown away.
Martina Bancroft panicked and took the opportunity to run out of the observation room, slamming the door shut and locking it.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Super Speed (Morbius)"
As the sound of battle rewards dropped, Su Quan, who had been sailing on the high seas with the cargo ship, Teleportation to Martina Bancroft's side.
Martina Bancroft was startled by Su Quan's sudden appearance. After realizing what was happening, she didn't care about being surprised by Su Quan's sudden appearance. She pulled him away from the observation room and quickly retreated.
In the observation room, the humanoid monster—or rather, Morbius —had cruelly bitten through the mercenary's throat and was drinking blood voraciously.
