Syd followed Venom's directions as he walked.
During this journey, he chose to walk in hidden areas as much as possible, not forgetting that he was still being hunted.
Along the way, he couldn't help but notice how many thugs there were in America. He ended up collecting a few hundred dollars in "relief funds" and a black hoodie with a hood.
With the black hood covering his head, he exuded a hint of mystery as he walked through the secluded streets.
"Syd, why are you being so cautious? I think we should go all out instead of hiding like this..." Venom communicated telepathically with Syd, its hoarse voice tinged with confusion.
Syd shook his head. "Maybe when we get there, but for now, we need to stay hidden while traveling..."
"There are people hunting me..."
With that, he ignored Venom's puzzled questions and focused on moving quickly.
Occasionally, as the sunlight touched him, his energy points slowly increased.

As Syd made his way to the Life Foundation, Eddie Brock was having a struggle with Venom. "Eddie, this is an illusion. It's not real!"
"You're just feeling a little unwell..."
Walking down the street, Eddie tried to ignore the voice in his head, convincing himself it was a hallucination.
Then, the strange voice in his mind spoke again.
"Eddie Brock, stop pretending. You know it's all real..."
Ignoring Eddie's self-deception, Venom continued, "Human, listen to me. You should stay away from the Life Foundation. Don't go there!"
Unable to ignore the voice in his head, Eddie cursed, "Shit, it's my job!"
As he spoke, Eddie suddenly felt a wave of hunger. Swallowing, he looked at the people walking by, feeling an urge to devour their brains...
He felt like he was going crazy, trying to ignore the impulse, thinking it was just the parasite affecting him.
However, the more he ignored the hunger, the stronger it became...
The voice in his head spoke again.
"Human, stop. It's time to eat. See those delicious brains? Go and devour them!"
Eddie Brock clutched his head, trying to ignore the hunger, but he failed.
To escape the thoughts of eating people's brains and the feeling of hunger, he rushed into a steakhouse and quickly ordered.
Unable to wait, he grabbed food meant for others and started eating, causing chaos.
People screamed.
While Eddie was adjusting to the symbiote, the Life Foundation had realized they had been tricked by the symbiote.
They were urgently checking all abnormalities along the escape route, trying to locate the fleeing symbiote.
Security guards with communicators searched the streets.
Soon, the commotion around Eddie Brock caught the attention of the guards.
"Found an anomaly, checking it out..."
A black security guard reported into his communicator before entering the restaurant and approaching Eddie, who was gnawing on a live lobster from a tank.
"Sir, please come with me."
The guard, Thomas, politely requested.
But Eddie, consumed by his hunger, ignored him and continued eating.
Thomas's face darkened, and he reached out to grab Eddie, trying to take him away.
Before he could touch Eddie, he was pushed back several steps by Eddie's right hand. Thomas's face grew more stern, and he instinctively reached for his baton to teach this uncooperative and suspicious person a lesson.
As he raised his baton, Eddie's right hand, covered in black liquid, punched him hard in the chest.
Bang!
Amid the gasps of the onlookers, Thomas was sent flying several meters, crashing into a row of tables and chairs.
Seeing this, Eddie, still somewhat conscious, hurriedly explained, "Oh, I didn't mean to. My hand, it's not listening..."
With the staff shouting, Eddie panicked and fled the restaurant.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Struggling to his feet, Thomas urgently reported into his communicator, "Target found..."
While he was reporting, the fleeing Eddie was in a state of panic.
"Coward, you should have eaten that guy!"
Venom's displeased voice echoed in his mind.
Panicking, Eddie asked, "What are you? A parasite?"
He could no longer deceive himself.
"Parasite?" Venom repeated loudly, seemingly furious, "You are the parasite!"
"I am Venom, the great symbiote Venom!"
"And you need to get out of here now. Those people will capture you and conduct inhumane
experiments on you!"
"Run?" Eddie still hadn't accepted reality.
Just as he was about to argue, four black-suited guards appeared ahead.
"Stop! Hands up!" The four guards pointed their guns at him.
"Shit!" Eddie instinctively turned and ran.
Seeing him run, the guards immediately fired their tranquilizer guns.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Black tendrils emerged from Eddie's back, blocking the tranquilizer darts. Then, with a swift movement, the tendrils knocked the guns out of the guards' hands.
The guards were stunned by what they saw.
More guards surrounded Eddie, and in the ensuing chaos, Eddie displayed a series of
astonishing abilities.
He performed many inhuman actions and had a sense of danger that helped him avoid many
attacks.
The black tendrils easily knocked away enemies, and even the black liquid shifted into a Venom suit covering him.
As he charged through, guards screamed as they were sent flying. Some unlucky ones were grabbed by Venom, who then devoured their brains.
"Stop him! Don't let him escape!"
While the guards surrounded Eddie and Venom, the people at the Life Foundation were
watching the footage in shock.
In the conference room, Drake spread his arms, pointing at the screen, and exclaimed, "He merged with the symbiote, do you see?!"
Turning to the staff and researchers, he praised, "Did you see? They merged!"
"Tris!" He rushed to the communicator and urgently instructed the lead guard on the video,
"Bring my new creature back!"
