Arriving next to Andy and the others, the boss's first reaction was to reach for his phone.
This was a perfect photo opportunity, and he didn't want to miss out.
Watching the boss search for his phone, Andy and the other two looked puzzled.
They were about to ask the boss for help finding information on the woman, but the boss had been fumbling around for something ever since he arrived.
This baffled them; could there be some Symbiote residue here?
Thinking this, the few of them exchanged glances.
"Should we check him? Is there any Symbiote residue parasitizing his body? He seems a bit abnormal right now."
As Stark spoke, a small device appeared on his shoulder.
This was the sonic cannon Stark had installed in his Iron Man Suit. Facing the boss, Stark adjusted the sonic cannon to its lowest setting.
He did this to protect the boss; if the full-power sonic cannon were activated, it would cause devastating harm to him.
Buzz buzz buzz
The sonic cannon started, emitting a hum at its lowest power.
Under the sonic cannon's coverage, the boss showed no abnormalities.
Instead, the Symbiote that had been knocked into the test tube reacted violently, as if suffering severe damage.
"It looks like there's no Symbiote parasitizing the boss, but what is he doing with this behavior?"
Stark turned off the sonic cannon, looking strangely at the boss who was still searching for his phone.
Even the Symbiote in the test tube reacted so violently, yet the boss was unaffected, which left them a bit confused.
Under their gaze, the boss rummaged through all his belongings and finally found his phone in a small bag.
Seeing the phone in the boss's hand, the few of them realized.
This boss just wanted to take a photo with them; no wonder his behavior was so strange.
Finding his phone, the boss excitedly said, "Can you all take a photo with me? Just one time."
Andy and the others didn't refuse the boss's request, considering it payment for his help with the woman later.
They gathered around the boss, and under the stall's lights, took a photo that wasn't too clear.
"Alright, photo's done. Can you listen to my request now?"
While the boss was happily checking his phone, Andy asked.
"Ah! Of course, what can I help you with? Just say the word."
Putting away his phone, the boss nodded quickly after Andy's question.
Seeing the boss's serious demeanor, Andy chuckled and said, "Haha, don't be so nervous.
We just want you to look after this lady. Once she wakes up, you don't need to look after her anymore."
Look after this woman?
This startled the boss, and he immediately wanted to refuse.
He had seen it earlier; this woman was very dangerous.
If Andy and the others hadn't appeared in time, he might have been killed by this woman.
"Ha~ don't worry.
What's on this lady is an experimental subject that escaped from the lab. It parasitized this lady and controlled her.
We've already recovered it, so you don't have to worry about this lady harming you."
Seeing the boss's terrified expression, Andy burst out laughing.
This Symbiote, parasitizing the woman, had made the boss so afraid.
Hearing Andy's explanation, the boss calmed down.
Although he still couldn't help but feel fear when looking at the woman again.
But he believed the words of this black warrior, because they had no reason to deceive him.
"I can help look after her, but she must leave here after she wakes up."
"We can't control that. When she wakes up, you can tell her that we haven't known her any longer than you have."
Seeing Andy didn't object, the boss accepted the fact.
He picked up the woman, placed her on a lounge chair, covered her with a piece of clothing, and then left her side.
"If you don't have a partner, you could try pursuing this lady. At least she's not bad-looking."
Watching the boss's actions, Andy said to him before leaving the area.
The hoverboard under Andy's feet caused the surrounding onlookers to gasp.
They finally understood that this terrifying-looking warrior was the Tenno they had been discussing.
They just didn't know who the other green warrior was, as there was no information about him in the House of Heroes archives.
Watching Norman fly through the air on his flying device, the crowd thought for a moment and decided to call the green warrior flying in the air 'Ranger'.
Just like Green Arrow in the comics, dressed in green, freely traversing the city and protecting it.
And a few hero enthusiasts quickly uploaded Ranger to the House of Heroes website.
Ranger's ranking on the website leaderboard rose at an extremely fast pace.
Before long, he reached the top ten of the leaderboard. The reason for this situation was because Norman was the third hero to appear in the House of Heroes wearing battle armor.
This greatly piqued people's interest, as different armors appeared in different people's hands one after another.
Perhaps humanity could, with the continuously appearing armors, leave Earth and venture into the Universe.
After leaving that street, Andy and the others did not continue searching for Symbiotes.
They absolutely had to place the Symbiote in the lab, where Norman had a specially made container for encapsulating Symbiotes.
"It seems this Symbiote is relatively easy to deal with, as long as we find their weakness."
Stark, flying in the air, suddenly spoke. They had all witnessed firsthand the capture of this Symbiote earlier.
Under Andy's attack, the Symbiote was like a puddle of mud, completely unable to resist.
"No, you're mistaken. While sonic waves are the Symbiote's weakness, that doesn't mean they're easy to deal with."
Because he clearly understood the threat of the Symbiote, Norman did not agree with Stark's statement.
"Although we can use sonic waves to deal with Symbiotes, we can't keep the sonic emitters on all the time.
If we were to do that, perhaps before the Symbiote collapsed, we ourselves would already have problems due to the sonic waves."
"That's true."
Stark replied in agreement.
He also knew this problem. The Symbiote seemed to be easily captured by them.
But that was because they came with a strong purpose. In normal life, they would not prepare so much equipment specifically targeting Symbiotes in advance.
"To put it in Chinese terms, this is like not being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Andy, speeding on the ground, also suddenly interjected. This was a truth that China had long figured out.
There are only a thousand days of being a thief, not a thousand days of guarding against thieves.
This described their current situation. Although they could make the Symbiote reveal its true form at any time.
But they couldn't install sonic emitters all over the World and have them running day and night.
Even if their net worth increased several hundred times, they couldn't do it.
Because sonic emitters actually cause significant harm to people. High-intensity sonic waves can easily cause severe injury.
That kind of damage can cause internal organs to rupture in living beings, truly meaning 'gut-wrenching' in a literal sense.
"Speaking of which, our luck this time is pretty good. We caught a Symbiote not long after we came out."
Checking the time, Andy said with a smile.
Only two hours had passed since they came out.
It had to be said their luck was good, and the people on that food street were also quite lucky.
If they had chosen another place today, or if Gluttony hadn't reacted.
It's estimated that most of the people on the food street would have been killed by now, all becoming fodder for the Symbiote.
"Our luck is indeed good; we captured a Symbiote so easily."
"However, the Symbiote we have now is black. We don't know where the Symbiote that split from it is."
In his words, Norman's voice became a bit solemn.
Hearing Norman's solemn voice, Stark was a bit puzzled.
"What's wrong? Is that Symbiote special?"
Stark, who had the least contact with Symbiotes, had no idea what kind of connection there might be between them.
In his opinion, as long as these Symbiotes had the same weakness, they could be easily targeted.
"As for special, I don't know yet, because I have to make contact first to know its abilities.
It's just that newborn Symbiotes need to consume a large amount of nutrients, which requires them to forage for food themselves. I don't know how many people have died at its mouth."
Andy was very clear on this point, because after Gluttony was born, it devoured a large amount of high-energy food right in front of Andy.
Although the current Gluttony can no longer be considered a Symbiote, Gluttony still possesses the Symbiote's abilities.
"Audis said hundreds of people have gone missing. Perhaps all these people died at the mouth of that Symbiote."
After Andy finished speaking, the communication channel fell silent. They had already imagined that tragic scene.
The three stopped talking and instead sped up again, returning to the Steel Watchers branch.
In the lab
The recently returned group removed their equipment and rested.
Norman, after jumping off his flying device, walked directly to the instruments he had brought.
The large portion of the captured Symbiote, under Norman's control, was all loaded into a specially made container.
The Symbiote placed in the special container no longer shrank into a spherical shape, as it had when captured by the Kinetic Absorption Trap.
Instead, it rolled back and forth in the container like an extremely viscous liquid.
Only, during its rolling, traces of black biological tissue still clung to the container walls.
Seeing the biological tissue clinging to the container, Stark showed a disgusted expression.
He really didn't like this strange creature, watching the constantly wriggling biological tissue.
"Ugh, this thing looks even more disgusting now."
Stark couldn't help but complain. The wriggling biological tissue looked like a pile of black maggots squeezed together.
Hearing Stark's complaint, Norman smiled and shook his head, pressing the switch.
The outside of the container was wrapped in metal, turning it into a giant metal capsule.
"Haha, you'll get used to it."
Norman smiled and offered a couple of words of comfort, but his comfort was still useless.
Now Stark felt as if he had eaten a dead fly, feeling utterly disgusted, even a little nauseous.
Meanwhile, Andy watched expressionlessly the small portion of Symbiote in the test tube.
Gluttony's emotions were extremely agitated right now. Andy didn't know whether to give this bit of Symbiote to Gluttony.
After much consideration, Andy finally decided to give it to Gluttony.
This was the first time Gluttony had shown such interest in another creature. It seemed that if it ate this Symbiote, Gluttony could undergo a different change.
After returning to his room, Andy summoned Gluttony and gave it the Symbiote in the test tube.
The thin glass of the test tube was no different from a piece of paper to Gluttony.
Gluttony's black and red tentacles reached out and wrapped around the test tube.
With a crack, the test tube was shattered by Gluttony.
The Symbiote originally thought Gluttony was one of its own kind, but what happened next told it that it was wrong.
Black and red tentacles encircled the Symbiote, and countless tiny biological tissues, like roots, burrowed into the Symbiote.
Gluttony's abilities were extremely powerful. As the original strain of the Infestation virus, its terrifying corrosive ability was innate.
The small Symbiote could not resist Gluttony's Devour and could only succumb to death under Gluttony's consumption.
Soon, the Symbiote, along with the test tube, was completely devoured by Gluttony, leaving no residue.
