Chapter 1246

San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge, also known as the Golden Gate Strait Bridge, is located above the Golden Gate Strait and is one of the main symbols of San Francisco.

There is an island near the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Life Foundation was built on this island.

Don't the Golden Gate Bridge and this island have an inexplicably familiar feeling?

In the old *X-Men* movies, Magneto led mutants to attack the lab researching the mutant 'cure' on this island; at that time, this island was called Alcatraz.

Old Magneto heroically lifted the Golden Gate Bridge for this, and this scene also became one of his iconic moments.

"Sorry, I'm late."

A sweet voice full of apology came from far to near behind Su Quan.

Withdrawing his gaze from looking at 'Alcatraz', he turned around with a smile; Anne Weying, with her beautiful blonde hair, had already stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to offer a bird-pecking-style KISS.

Su Quan had been in San Francisco for almost three months; during this period, he had only accomplished one thing, and that was successfully hooking up with Anne Weying, who hadn't been with Eddie Brock yet.

To be precise, the relationship between the two was currently in a stage of having reality but no name.

That is—

Although they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship as a couple, they had done everything a couple should do!

Silk and Spider-Girl, who had arrived in San Francisco first, handed the intelligence they had investigated about Anne Weying and the Life Foundation to Su Quan, and then returned to New York to help Spider-Gwen a few days later.

Chameleon had broken out of prison.

To be precise, he was rescued by his half-brother, Kraven the Hunter.

Kraven the Hunter and Chameleon didn't return to the Bear Country after this, but instead stayed behind to launch a revenge.

Spider-Gwen had to deal with them while protecting her father and other police officers; she was a bit overwhelmed and couldn't fight four hands with two fists, so she could only ask them to go back and help.

As for Black Cat, she had to keep an eye on Professor Lizard's experiments on one hand, help Martina Bancroft, who was arranged by Su Quan to Oscorp, arrange a blood lab on the other, and also keep an eye on Electro; she was truly stretched thin.

Martina Bancroft stayed in New York, and Silk and Spider-Girl also went back.

Su Quan, who was alone, met Anne Weying at a bar she frequented according to intelligence, created a few more encounters, and finally successfully visited her boudoir after a drunken night; since then, he had been confused and couldn't stop.

A gentle hometown is a hero's grave.

Su Quan sank into it, occasionally suppressing Eddie Brock, who had thoughts of competing with him; his days were lived with great relish, and time passed quickly because of this.

Of course, there was another main reason why Su Quan would immerse himself in love; the Life Foundation's rocket exploring space hadn't returned yet.

Riot, Venom, Scream, and Lasher—these four symbiotes arrived on Earth by rocket.

The rocket hadn't returned, and the symbiotes hadn't descended; besides eating, sleeping, and beating Eddie, what else could Su Quan do?

Oh, right, he really did two other things.

He funded a lab called Ravencroft; this lab was specifically for researching and detaining abnormal humans; in *The Amazing Spider-Man 2*, Electro was detained here after being caught.

There was also a woman here named Frances Louise Barrison; her name was very long, but her codename was very short, only two words: Shriek.

She possessed the ability to manipulate sound waves and was the girlfriend of Cletus Kasady, the host of the symbiote Carnage.

In the movie, Cletus Kasady rescued her after becoming Carnage; Cletus Kasady loved her very much, but her sound wave ability was the natural nemesis of symbiotes; several times she released sound waves regardless, directly leading to her almost being killed by Carnage in the end!

Su Quan invested in the Ravencroft lab because of her.

The second thing Su Quan did was also related to her; he used Anne Weying's identity as a lawyer to meet the death row inmate Cletus Kasady, sponsored some money, and helped him improve his prison life before execution.

Cletus Kasady couldn't die, and he must become Carnage; only when he became Carnage would he take revenge on Patrick Mulligan, the police officer who blinded his girlfriend Frances's eye.

Only then would Patrick Mulligan be possessed by the symbiote offspring born from Carnage, becoming Toxin—a symbiote in the symbiote family that rarely feared sound waves and fire anymore!

The symbiote family, or the symbiotes of Venom's lineage, had a characteristic: the blue is better than the blue, and each generation is stronger than the last!

Venom and Eddie Brock are Carnage's father, and Carnage and Cletus Kasady are Toxin's father.

Carnage is stronger than Venom, and Toxin is stronger than Carnage.
