Chapter 1910: Eddie’s Underground Adventure

While his teammates were talking outside, Big Dipper mumbled to himself, “Sh*t! What a strong tail.”

He hadn’t been hit by the female monster just now; it was the black beast’s tail that had just brushed over him in passing.

But this casual flick had sent him flying hundreds of meters.

The female monster, who had been hit, was in a worse state. One of her fore limbs was bent into an L, and she screamed miserably.

Of course, Luke had to go in quickly; otherwise, it would be a waste not to take advantage of that giant mouth.

He had a huge advantage over the others.

He had an Elementary Sound Wave + Elementary Vibration combo, which produced an effect similar to a bat’s echolocation.

Thanks to his persistent training, he was able to see immediate distortions in vibrations and instantly recreate the scene.

Thanks to his strong physique and Muscle Control, he could continue sending out faint vibrations.

This should’ve been carried out by the suit’s launchers, but they had been paralyzed by the bat-headed monster’s interference ability, so Luke could only carry the operation out ‘manually.’

The vibrations released by his own body were more sensitive and efficient than what the armor released, but they consumed a lot of energy.

But now was not the time to hesitate.

At that moment, Selina put an ID called Venom through to Big Dipper.

That was Eddie’s code name.

Because he was too obsessed with his girlfriend and had huge misgivings about becoming a superhero, this guy was still only an official PDD employee.

Thus, he wasn’t on the level 1 Bat Squad channel, but on the level 2 PDD channel.

Luke found it strange. “What is it?”

Selina wouldn’t put Eddie through unless it was something important.

Eddie said, “When I was rescuing people during the earthquake just now, I accidentally entered a sewer. The way out was blocked, and I could only follow the sewer…”

Luke said, “Get to the point.”

Eddie said, “Ah, the point is that right now… I think I’m underground and not far from a big monster. I also see a very, very big stomach.”

Luke was stunned. “Whose big stomach?”

Eddie said, “That female monster’s big stomach.”

Luke’s mind whirled. “What are you planning?”

Eddie said, “Um, I’m behind this stomach. It seems to be laying eggs, but I don’t have any weapons on my armor that can hurt it.”

So, you want me to go over and do it??Luke hesitated. “Where are you?”

Eddie said, “I don’t know. Everything here is wrecked.”

Fine! That was very normal. Luke looked at the huge pile of debris and dust. “Then why are you looking for me?”

Eddie said, “Um… There’s something which looks like a black oval cylinder next to me. It’s probably what you call your — external gear?”

Luke immediately understood. “You want to use it to fight the female monster?”

After a brief silence, Eddie asked hesitantly, “Can this thing self-destruct, like the armor?”

Luke was surprised. “Yes, but it’s not powerful enough to even break its skin.”

Eddie said, “…What if… I mean, what if I stuff the gear inside?”

Luke asked, “How… Hm, you said that it’s still laying eggs?”

Eddie said, “Hehe, yes.”

Luke understood. “I’ll have a look at your situation, then tell you how to deal with it.”

Less than two minutes later, Eddie asked excitedly, “Then, should I go?”

Luke said, “Go on. I’ll be watching you.”

Eddie took a deep breath, and Venom’s black, semi-liquid form poured out of his armor to wrap around him.

He stretched out his hands, and then placed the gear cylinder over his shoulder. “Let’s go! We’ll definitely get a lot of credit this time.”

Venom immediately muttered inside him, “Really? Can I buy an Alien laptop? That cheap Voracious already bought this year’s latest model! I can’t lose to that dead last!”

Eddie stiffened. “Why can’t the two of you compete in something that doesn’t require money? You said last month that you wanted to travel around the world, and wanted me to buy a yacht…”

Venom: “It’ll be you and your girlfriend going on a holiday; I’ll just be tagging along, which means I won’t spend any money.”

Eddie almost cried. “Of course you won’t spend anything. It’s all my hard-earned pay.”

Venom: “Apologize! Voracious already told me that I’m doing half the work, so half of that pay is mine by right. Just buy me some snacks, a phone and a laptop. You earn so much!”

Eddie was full of despair. “Hurry up and cut ties with Voracious. I don’t think it’s anything good.”

Venom: “Heh, dream on! It already warned me that most humans are very stingy, and told me to be careful about you skimping on my share.”

Eddie was speechless. Curse this money-obsessed society! Even alien symbiotes had fallen so quickly.

In an inner exchange which lasted just several seconds, Venom won.

It wasn’t that Eddie wasn’t tough, but that Venom’s logic was sound — it was only right to split the profits when both of them were doing the work.

He could only try not to think about the amount.

Actually, this expenditure only made up about 5% of his income.

If he didn’t do his best to stop Venom from thinking about buying a yacht to travel around the world, however, he would go bankrupt sooner or later.

Resistant to a bankrupt future, Eddie charged forward.

In the complete symbiotic form, he was very fast and quickly charged out of the twisted and broken passage.

He pressed the emergency self-destruct button on the gear cylinder, raised it high, and then stuffed it into the hole from which a bunch of eggs had just been squeezed out.

At that moment, Eddie’s upper torso expanded rapidly, and his arms lengthened, like a long-armed gorilla. He pushed the cylinder in as hard as he could.

Looking at the virtual screen as the ten-second countdown dropped to ‘6,’ he turned around and ran.

He had to run!

Big Dipper said that there was no telling what would happen after the cylinder exploded, so it was best to keep his distance.

Venom wasn’t resistant to the loud noise and high temperatures of an explosion.

Compared with when he had been carrying the gear cylinder earlier, Eddie now looked like an oily black snake.

Venom was very good at using its semi-liquid form, and it cut out all the redundant parts that might slow it down.

After scuttling forward 300 meters, the countdown on the virtual screen finally reached ‘0.’

Dong!

There was a muffled explosion, and Eddie subconsciously turned around.

Several seconds later, the ground behind him shook and sent up a wave of dirt which surged toward him like the mouth of a monster.

Eddie’s eyes widened. “Holy sh*t!”

Boom!

The wave of dirt washed over him.

Eddie’s vision went dark, and he could no longer see anything.

…

A moment ago, the female monster suddenly felt something stuffed into it from the back.

But it wasn’t too big, and the sleek shape didn’t hurt it.

Its powerful archenemy was still biting at its head. Struggling with all its might, the female monster had no time to think about that thing.
