12: Chapter 12 Objective: Drug Research Institute

...

[Extraction Countdown: 22:06:56]

Once the greatest threat was dealt with, the corners of Lin Fang's blood-stained mouth curled into a smile. At this moment, he looked truly wretched, with nothing left on his body but a pair of tattered underwear stained crimson.

With a surge of strength, he pinned the delicate body before him against a sandbag. "Where is this?"

"Ugh—

How rude. Cassius, you're hurting me."

Emily let out a huff but still answered his question. "This is a small island in the Farallon Islands, the location of the Drake Family Pharmaceutical Research Institute."

Drake?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it; Lin Fang seemed to have heard the name somewhere before.

He soon understood from her words who the currently possessed Cassius and his previous two lives were: death row inmates, mercenaries, or people who had offended the Drake Family. They had all become pharmaceutical test subjects here, serving as toys for the island personnel's hunting games.

This really is an unscrupulous enterprise.

"Cassius, can you let me go?"

Emily shifted her graceful body, her voice laced with temptation. "There are medicines in the car, and I'm a doctor. I promise to cooperate with you."

"Of course."

Suffering from excessive blood loss, Lin Fang began to feel his strength failing and his body swaying. So, the instant he let go, he pulled the trigger.

Bang—

At such close range, even a novice couldn't possibly miss. A large hole was blasted through the blonde beauty's back. She glanced back at him in disbelief before falling silent forever.

No matter what she intended to do, she no longer had the chance.

Without stopping to clean up the mess,

Suppressing the rising urge to vomit, Lin Fang practically crawled to the nearby pickup truck and began searching for medical supplies. Having struggled so hard to survive, it would be too pathetic to die like this.

Before long, a medical kit appeared before his eyes. Lin Fang's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the glass vials inside. He grabbed a syringe and injected the vials labeled EPI and PPC into his left vein; they were epinephrine and prothrombin complex.

Then he downed several vials of glucose solution. At a time like this, to hell with pharmacological dosages!

Besides, he didn't understand them anyway.

Looking at the brown pistol discarded on the seat, Lin Fang's heart was pounding wildly. He didn't know if it was because of the drugs or something else; these short two hours had been far too intense.

Before this, he had just been an ordinary student.

Drake...

Perhaps because the drugs had kicked in, he had the strength to think. Lin Fang looked at the logo on the car door and finally remembered what it was.

The logo was circular in outline. Inside the upper part was a shield-like shape with a white stripe slanted to the left, dividing the shield into two sections: black on top and red on the bottom. In the lower part of the circle were the words "LIFE FOUNDATION" in white capital letters.

The Drake Life Foundation! The world of Venom? Could this really be the movie he had seen?

In an instant, Lin Fang had many conjectures about the planar exploration within the Black Watch. If it really was like this, then it would be too much fun. Lin Fang couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the Black Watch on his wrist,

There are truly infinite possibilities and endless power within!

After a short rest,

Lin Fang calmed down and began cleaning his wounds with iodine before wrapping them with medical bandages.

Survive first, then talk. Lin Fang hadn't forgotten his goal.

Returning to the original spot, the bandage-covered Lin Fang stripped the clothes off the burly man in the suit and put them on. They were a bit large, but they didn't get in the way once tied up.

Next was scavenging. If this really was the Venom world, Lin Fang thought the most valuable things would be those alien Symbiotes. But there was a problem: it seemed living organisms couldn't be put into the Spacetime Package,

because he had just tried it...

It wasn't very friendly; who said humans didn't count as resources?

...

After searching for a while,

A pickup truck, a cell phone, and an HK416 automatic rifle—these were the high-value materials Lin Fang found after comparing. How many plunder points would each be worth?

Lin Fang was most interested in the phone. Despite being the smallest, it required the highest level of scientific and technological content, especially the chip and battery inside.

After checking, he was a bit disappointed,

He used the dead woman's fingerprint to unlock the phone. The technology inside didn't exceed reality by much and was useless for his development; it wasn't even as good as that HK416.

It was tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.

But there was another use. Lin Fang began using it to search for information about this world. When the news reporter named Eddie Brock appeared on the screen, his guess turned into a certainty.

This is the world of Venom. The planar exploration in the Black Watch was to bring him into these movie and television worlds! Searching further, Lin Fang wanted to confirm if the plot in his memory had unfolded.

The answer was no. Eddie Brock was still just a minor reporter at the Global Daily, he hadn't made a name for himself yet, and the Symbiotes hadn't arrived on Earth.

So, his advantages in this world:

1: Able to change the spawn point

2: Foresight (to be determined?)

Lin Fang thought while dragging the corpses into the back of the truck.

As friends who have killed before know, one must destroy the evidence after killing to reduce the chance of being discovered. After fumbling around for a while, Lin Fang hid the three corpses along with the pickup truck in a hidden ditch and erased any conspicuous traces.

With limited conditions, this was the best he could do.

After finishing everything,

Lin Fang began to think: should he hide and wait for the time to run out, or go to the center of the island to take a look? Undoubtedly, the former would be much safer. The latter might lead to new gains; it would be too pathetic to leave with just a broken phone after his first extraction.

Moreover, Lin Fang felt a stir of interest as he looked at the buildings in the distance. The Pharmaceutical Research Institute—would there be good things in there? The Life Foundation in the movie was a colossus.

Take it down! Lin Fang quickly made up his mind. If he viewed this as a game, then he was a player,

What is a player? A player is fearless!

After collecting everything useful, Lin Fang headed toward the target.

...

Evening came,

At the No. FLL-1 Pharmaceutical Research Institute, the person in charge, Mitte Wester, wiped the sweat from his forehead again and roared at the security personnel in front of him, "Karl! You stupid pig, why haven't you found Miss Emily yet?"

Karl said with a serious expression, "Sir, we are increasing the search manpower."

"Did something go wrong with your two team members? She is Emily Drake! She's not just some woman for you to play with!"

The semi-bald Mite was hopping mad. "If anything happens to her, we're all going to meet God!"

"Will is my brother; he wouldn't do that."
