I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

"Where are we going?" Dora asked again.

In any case, today was definitely the most tumultuous day of her life.

You could even say she's completely bewildered now, because everything is so illogical.

Depp said, "We'll go to Tony's office, and I'll introduce you to him. In the future, when I'm not here, his Iron Legion will always be there to protect your safety."

“That sounds great,” Dora said weakly. “Whatever you want, I’m just a frail biologist.”

When Depp arrived at the office, he bumped into Tony, who was having a late-night snack.

"Hey Depp, you're back so fast this time!" Tony popped the cherry on top of the cake into his mouth and said, "Wow~ look what I found? A beautiful lady full of energy. By the way, Depp, you... have a new girlfriend?"

“No, not at all,” Depp said helplessly. “This is Ms. Dora, a PhD in biology, who used to be a researcher at the Biological Foundation.”

“The Life Foundation…” Tony swallowed the cherry, pit and all, then stood up and asked, “I don’t think I’m very welcoming to the Life Foundation, Depp. You probably don’t know how ruthless these guys can be.”

“I know perfectly well,” Depp explained. “So, the Life Foundation has been completely destroyed by me today, and Dr. Dora represents some of the good people in the Life Foundation.”

"so?"

“I want to acquire the Life Foundation, and I need your help, Tony. Whether it’s connections or financial resources, you’re the most qualified person in the world to stand at the top.” Depp plopped down on Tony’s desk and said, “And Ms. Dora will be in charge of this project for me in the future. I need you to help her occasionally and also help me protect her safety.”

“Okay, no problem.” Tony shrugged. “Well, you’re Depp, after all.”

“I knew you’d agree!” Depp gave Tony a happy hug, then led Dora back through the portal.

After Depp left, Tony looked at his desk.

There were rows of blueprints laid out there, and above the first blueprint was written: "[The Manufacturing Method and Principle of the Dream Inception Earphone]".

Back in San Francisco, Depp checked the return time and found there were less than 48 hours left.

Where do we go next?

Dr. Dora asked, squinting her eyes. She was exhausted.

The aftereffects of that battle are now fully taking effect.

This has led to Dr. Dora being in a daze and confused state.

The location where Depp appeared this time was a small hillside a few kilometers away from the Life Foundation.

Looking down from here, the Life Foundation in the distance was completely surrounded by police cars, with red and blue lights flashing continuously, like a ring of stars.

Depp looked at the commotion he had caused, but his heart was not greatly affected.

For him now, opponents like the Life Foundation are hardly exciting or nerve-wracking.

Depp looked up at the sky, where stars twinkled, perhaps due to pollution from the city and the lights that never went out.

The distance between the stars is not too far, but it is not close either.

The interplay of light and shadow, however, reminded Depp of the various experiences he had gone through in the past few days.

The interstellar journey that began with Guardians of the Galaxy allowed Depp to witness the vastness and mystery of the universe for the first time.

Beyond Earth, there are countless star systems and civilizations.

In terms of military capabilities, Earth doesn't even reach the mid-level.

Unlike those other planets, Earth is home to a diverse array of civilizations, each with its own unique charm.

The development of culture and entertainment went hand in hand, even surpassing that of military power, a phenomenon rarely seen in other civilizations.

Whether it's the Xandar civilization, the Cree civilization, or the Skrull and Sovereign civilizations that never appeared.

These races have already achieved the unification of their civilizations and focus only on developing technologies that are suitable for expanding their territories.

But Depp felt that wasn't good. Compared to those overly rational civilizations, Depp preferred his home, Earth, a civilization that was quite sentimental and romantic.

Seeing Depp staring blankly at the starry sky, Dr. Dora raised her voice and said:

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Depp turned to look at the tall, thin woman with glasses and a ponytail, and said, "It's nothing, we should go home now."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Dora said with a sly look in her eyes, "Shall we go together? My home is in an apartment not far from here. If you'd like, you can stay at my place for the night."

Depp chuckled and said, "You're dreaming!"

"Go home and rest. Since Tony promised me, he'll definitely send someone to protect you." A portal appeared in front of Depp. "I'll keep you informed about what you need to do next. I've saved your phone number."

Dr. Dora smiled helplessly as she watched Depp enter the portal.

Dr. Dora walked step by step toward her apartment, her hair swaying gently in the mountain breeze.

Chapter 315 Brooke's Day

After passing through the portal, Depp composed himself and walked out of the alley.

There are now almost two days left before returning to the DC universe.

These past two days, Depp has decided to relax and stop worrying about everything else.

As for the acquisition by the Life Foundation, it is unlikely to be on the agenda in the short term.

From police intervention to official intervention, and then to the official assessment of the remaining value of the Life Foundation, it will all take some time.

Once the authorities completely deem the Life Foundation to be of no use, it will be put up for sale.

That will be when Depp's real actions begin.

Stepping out of the alley, the original darkness was immediately obscured by the neon lights in front of me.

Blue, purple, pink.

The colorful neon lights and strings of huge red lanterns complement each other, which may be a little dazzling for first-time visitors, but will also make people feel from the bottom of their hearts that there is a special cyberpunk atmosphere here.

The retro tiled roof and loft gave Depp a real sense of home.

The sounds of the people around him, in particular, gave Depp a sense of familiarity he hadn't felt in a long time.

This is the largest Chinatown in the western United States, San Francisco's Chinatown.

San Francisco's Chinatown is naturally located in San Francisco.

It is centered around the intersection of Dublin Street and California Street, and Chinatown is a district bounded by Bush Street, Powell Street, Broadway Street, and Kearney Street.

There are approximately 100,000 overseas Chinese living here.

Everything written and heard here is in Mandarin, and everything seen and done has a distinctly traditional Chinese style, making it feel like a mini-China. Chinatown offers everything from everyday necessities to precious jewelry, and also preserves traditional food, architecture, and clothing, allowing visitors to fully experience the rich and diverse Chinese culture.

I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and took a deep breath of the air.

"Hmm, I don't know if it's truly free, but it's certainly peaceful and quiet," Depp muttered to himself. "It's much sweeter than the polluted air outside that claims to be free."

Depp took out his phone and sent a message to Dr. Dora, telling her that starting tomorrow, he should do his best to get the researchers who originally belonged to the Life Foundation to wait for the Life Foundation's return and restructuring.

Although these researchers only have access to a portion of the data and experiments, using them is far better than hiring new people later.

As for those researchers who possessed all the core information of certain studies, they had already self-destructed and died the moment Drake died, before Depp could even make a move.

Yes, those researchers who are extremely important to the Life Foundation have had miniature bombs implanted in their bodies.

If Drake dies, or if anyone dares to betray the Life Foundation, the micro-bombs inside their bodies will be detonated.

This was also why Drake was confident that Dr. Dora would not be able to escape alive.

However, the bomb inside Dr. Dora was removed and digested when the siren symbiote parasitized her.

After turning off his phone, Depp entered San Francisco's Chinatown, ready to enjoy the remaining two days of his vacation.

After eating three servings of stinky tofu, two servings of snail rice noodles, and six cups of milk tea at the entrance of Chinatown, Depp finally entered the building.

Following that, Depp tried all the different cuisines: Sichuan cuisine at Yu Shi Yuan, Cantonese cuisine at Lingnan, morning tea at Yangcheng Tea House, and hot pot at Happy Little Sheep.

After a satisfying meal, Depp patted his flat stomach and walked into the nearest bathhouse with a contented look on his face.

Depp, soaking in the pool, draped a towel over his forehead, letting his thoughts drift away as he closed his eyes to rest.

------

Meanwhile, at the San Francisco Police Department, Eddie Brock sat helplessly in a chair.

His hands were rubbing together incessantly; he was clearly very nervous.

“Um…can I go now, officer?” Eddie asked again.

Across from him, a nearly 1.8-meter-tall, obese policewoman put down her half-eaten pizza and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brock, we can't let you go until you can prove that you have absolutely no connection to the Life Foundation incident."

“But I reported it myself!” Eddie said helplessly. “If I hadn’t reported it, you wouldn’t even know what happened to the Life Foundation!”

The policewoman took a sip of her cola and said, "We are very grateful for your help, but that is still not enough to justify releasing you."

Eddie was somewhat distraught. He patted the press pass that had already been placed on the table and said, "I think I need to say it again: I am a reporter from the Global Times. I went to the Life Foundation for an undercover investigation! To be honest, I had already sensed that something was wrong there."

“Yes, you are truly insightful, even more so than our sense of smell.” The policewoman stuffed the rest of the pizza into her mouth and said while chewing, “But unfortunately, after we communicated with your newspaper’s editor-in-chief, he said that he had not received or approved your request to conduct an undercover investigation at the Life Foundation.”

“Barney Bushkin, that old bastard!” Eddie covered his face, completely exasperated. “That old geezer only knows how to protect himself; he has absolutely no sense of responsibility as a journalist!”

“That’s an internal problem at your newspaper, Mr. Eddie Block. I’ve left you half a pizza and a large Coke. Eat them if you want.”

Upon hearing this, Eddie could only resign himself to his fate, raise his head, and start munching on pizza and cola.

But as soon as Eddie took his first bite, the hunger that had been dormant within him for so long suddenly erupted.

Symbiotes require their hosts to replenish a large amount of energy after parasitizing and fighting.

Not to mention that Venom had already been tortured to the point of near death before this, which was also the reason Eddie was hungry.

Eddie finished the half pizza in just ten seconds and also drank the entire Coke.

The female police officer on the ground was completely dumbfounded by this scene.

Eddie pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "This pizza tastes good, doesn't it?"

The policewoman thought for a moment and asked, "I think you're not full yet. I can order you another one."

"I want five, no, ten!"

Eddie said it with absolute certainty.

The policewoman looked at Eddie and didn't dare to object: "Okay, but you have to pay for it yourself."

The policewoman then opened the office door, walked out, and locked the door behind her.
