Chapter 1144–1145: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, the Oriole Waits Behind (3)

"Ah, save me—please don't hurt me—"

Eddie Brock casually stretched out a giant claw, grabbed a terrified female Hydra technician hiding beneath a table, and without another word, bit off her head with a crunch.

"Crunch—crunch—"

The bone-chilling sound of chewing echoed through the deathly silent bridge.

As though savoring a delicious, juicy piece of fruit, Eddie Brock wore an expression of immense enjoyment on his savage face, his giant white eyes narrowing into satisfied arcs.

Casually tossing aside the headless female corpse, Eddie Brock stepped over the blood-soaked mountain of bodies and arrived before the main control console.

He raised his Symbiote-covered right hand. His fingertips wriggled, quickly forming a small black USB drive.

"A small gift, a big surprise."

Ultron had given it to him beforehand. It contained a vast number of Electronic Demons from the Warp. As long as Eddie Brock inserted the USB drive into the Helicarrier, Ultron could easily breach the system firewall established by S.H.I.E.L.D. and take control of the Helicarrier.

Hiss—

The USB drive slid into the main console's USB port.

Almost the instant it was inserted, the lights throughout the bridge suddenly dimmed, then began flashing an even more ominous red.

The data streams on every screen scrolled wildly as if they had gone insane, finally freezing on Ultron's iconic mechanical face, endlessly rotating and composed of countless zeroes and ones.

The system firewall specially built by S.H.I.E.L.D. was practically nonexistent before these Electronic Demons from the Warp, as fragile as paper.

In just a few seconds, Ultron had completely taken over the highest authority of the Helicarrier.

At the same time, nearly identical bloody massacres were unfolding aboard the bridges of the other two Helicarriers still climbing in altitude.
