Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

William Baker became even more difficult to find after he broke away; there was yellow sand everywhere, but you just couldn't find him.

Moreover, he would occasionally pull people into the sand. If Gwen hadn't been swinging through the streets rescuing people, many would have been buried alive by now.

Chapter 111, The Different Sandman

Just then, Holm suddenly felt the car tires slip and lose their grip, as if they were stuck in mud.

The vehicle, which was rapidly reversing, suddenly stopped, no matter how hard he pressed the brake pedal.

"Well, now we're being watched too. Looks like those times we blasted him have made him hold a grudge." Holm said, flooring the accelerator and feeling the still immobile vehicle.

"Notify the city and send fire trucks over immediately. Remember to fill them with water. If you can't find a fire hydrant, you'll have to find water first. This guy is so smart, he won't easily expose the fire hydrant." As he spoke, Holm directly waved his hands and dismantled the car into a convertible.

Before Daisy, who was on the phone, could react, he had already pulled her into his arms and then jumped towards the building next to him.

"Bang!" Under the combined force of the suction of the yellow sand and the reaction force of Holm's legs, the poor car, which had already lost its roof, sank even deeper. The yellow sand had now spread to the seats and was about to completely engulf them.

On the other side, Holm used Daisy as leverage between the buildings, then used his tentacles to poke the wall and jump to the rooftop next to him.

"Oh, what a waste of my car. You saw it with your own eyes, so you have to be my witness. I'll have to reimburse it later." Holm said as he put Daisy on the ground. At this point, his little car was completely swallowed up by the ground.

Daisy had just finished her call. Looking at the surging yellow sand below, she frowned with some concern and said, "Why does it feel like there's more and more sand here, but there's no coastline here?"

Upon hearing this, Holm pointed to the buildings and road below and explained, "Haven't you noticed that after being covered by yellow sand for a long time, those buildings will slowly erode and turn into piles of sand and dust?"

“If we don’t find a way to stop it, the buildings on this street will soon be eroded into ruins.”

As Holm spoke, he inwardly marveled at the power of this sandman.

He remembered that in the movies he had seen, Sandman was also very fierce, but he was nowhere near as powerful and intelligent as this version.

Perhaps this is the unevenness of the world. There are too many things in the world he lives in that he could not have imagined. Whether he knew them or not, the differences are too great.

Just as he was pondering, a black and white figure suddenly landed beside him; it was Gwen, Spider-Woman, who had been busy just moments before.

"It seems you've moved all the people and police on the street to a safe place," Holm said, turning to look at Gwen, who was slightly out of breath.

Gwen nodded in agreement, her voice heavy as she looked down at the raging sandstorm below. "Although everyone has been cleared out, this guy hasn't stopped at all. If he continues like this, the buildings next door probably won't last much longer."

“I’ve already had the city send all the fire trucks here. They should be here soon, and then we can just use water to temporarily suppress him,” Holm replied to Gwen, looking down below.

Daisy, standing beside her, remained silent, constantly communicating with headquarters on her phone. She and Spider-Woman had no prior connection, so she had nothing to say to each other.

Although she was slightly surprised by the friendly atmosphere between Holm and Spider-Woman, it wasn't surprising considering they had fought side by side before.

All I can say is that Holm is indeed quite popular, and it seems to be especially popular with women.

Holm was unaware of Daisy's thoughts; he was still discussing with Gwen why William Baker had gone so mad.

“I knew him before. In a way, I was the one who sent him to jail, because I saw him robbing a young man that day.”

"He begged me to let him go, saying he robbed the bank to pay for his daughter's medical treatment, and that he was almost there..."

“He was very sincere and didn’t seem to be lying, but that was no excuse for him to rob other people, so I took him to the police station.”

"However, on my way back, I went to his home address and saw his daughter. The little girl was indeed very cute and seriously ill, so I left them all my savings at the time, hoping to be of some help..."

"But judging from the current situation, it seems the money I left behind hasn't changed anything... Sigh..."

"I saw his arrest warrant a few days ago. I know he escaped from prison, but I don't know what happened to him to make him like this..."

As Gwen spoke about William Baker, Holm fell silent. His records only showed that the man had many criminal records and had escaped from prison before serving his sentence for the last robbery. He had no idea that there were so many hidden stories behind it all.

But regardless, the situation has already become what it is now, and even if he pities William Baker and sympathizes with his plight, he cannot simply watch him run wild in the streets.

“You did nothing wrong. You did what you were supposed to do, and you did it very well. Nobody wanted things to turn out this way…” Holm patted Gwen on the shoulder to comfort her. He could feel the disappointment and regret in Gwen’s tone.

"Don't think too much about it. All we need to do now is stop him and not let him continue to act so recklessly."

"I heard the sirens. The fire trucks must be arriving soon. We need to protect them."

Hearing Holm's words, Gwen didn't say much, but just nodded, her tone full of determination.

After saying this, Holm turned to Daisy and instructed her, "Keep in touch with headquarters and have them come up with a way to contain this guy. Water can suppress him, but it's not a cure. He'll recover sooner or later."

“I understand! Please be careful.” Daisy nodded seriously in response.

Holm nodded upon hearing this, and after giving her a final warning to be careful, he and Gwen jumped off the building together.

"I know what you guys are thinking! You won't get away with this!" William Baker roared, unusually conjuring up a new body.

He also heard the sounds of fire trucks rushing from all around and understood their intentions, but now that he knew, he would never let them succeed so easily.

If he can hide the fire hydrants on the street, he can also deal with the fire trucks that arrive.

His anger had not yet subsided; he had to make this disgusting society pay the price.

Chapter 112, Stop Talking the Same Thing

In an attempt to block the arriving fire trucks, William Baker went all out, conjuring up half of his enormous body at each of the four intersections.

These bodies manipulated the surrounding yellow sand, directly stirring up a small sandstorm nearby.

"Don't try to stop me! You can't stop me now!" the four sand people said simultaneously, opening and closing their mouths.

"Interesting, they've even got 3D surround sound now." Holm clung to the building next to him, bending his legs slightly as he charged like an arrow toward a giant murder machine at an intersection.

His hands were swirling with a viscous black liquid, and he swung them in the air like giant windmill scythes.

"boom!"

Even though William Baker had tried his best to solidify his body, Holm still used immense force to shatter his sand body into pieces.

Like Holm, Gwen also plunged down from mid-air, using her own strength and reaction force to tear a large hole in the sand at an intersection.

Because of the different and limited attack methods, she could not directly shatter the sand body like Holm could. She could only use herself as a heavy hammer, swinging through the air and smashing the sandman piece by piece.

"The sand is endless! No matter how much you destroy it now, you can't hurt me! I will only get stronger!" As the sand swirled in the streets, William Baker's voice echoed all around.

Even though Holm and Gwen could shatter his body time and time again, they couldn't cause him any real harm.

He is now sand, and sand is him. Even if a tremendous force falls from the sky, as long as he breaks apart, that force will have no effect on him. Even if he can be scattered, he can also reassemble himself again and again.

Hearing his slightly smug shout, Holm spat out a mouthful of sand amidst the blowing sand, sending it to the ground.

“We’ve been wandering around for a while now, you should have found it by now,” Holm asked Venom in his mind.

Venom nodded in agreement, patting his chest and saying, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. I know the location of the fire hydrants perfectly well. I'll give him a surprise in a bit."

"This guy is too arrogant, he needs to be taught a lesson!"

As Venom spoke, it marked the location of the fire hydrant in Holm's mind.

After finding out the location of the fire hydrant, Holm suddenly leaped out, transforming his fist into a giant hammer covered in spikes, and then smashed it hard at a dusty spot on the street.

Although yellow sand filled the air, Holm could clearly sense that the sand in this area had been deliberately reinforced, which meant that there was a fire hydrant that he considered vital below.

Under the devastating blow of Holm's massive hammer, the reinforced sand dunes crumbled, revealing a red fire hydrant.

“No! How could you have found out!” William Baker shouted in a panic.

The sandstorm began to surge towards them, some quickly coalescing into the shape of William Baker, while others rained down on Holm relentlessly.

But Holm had finally found the fire hydrant; how could he possibly give him another chance?

Several sharp tentacles extended from behind him and waved in the air. Venom controlled these tentacles, smashing the incoming sand and the solidified William Baker one by one.

"You think a mere sandstorm can break through my defenses? Don't even dream about it. I'll give you a good bath in a bit," Venom shouted, waving his tentacles.

At the same time, Holm also turned his right hand into a sticky venom and wrapped it around the fire hydrant.

With a muffled thud, Holm's entire right arm suddenly began to swell, and a torrent of water was gushing out at breakneck speed.

Holm then transformed the venom into a double-headed faucet, one end connected to a fire hydrant, and the other end which he could move freely.

"Whoosh!" A stream of icy water shot out from Holm's right hand, splashing directly into the swirling sand and dust around him.

"Damn it, you...!" William Baker's figure hadn't even solidified before Holm used the torrent to smash him into a pile of mud, and he didn't even get halfway through his sentence.

"Okay, okay, I deserve to die, I deserve to die. Stop talking nonsense. All you people do is spout the same old clichés. I could recite them by heart." Holm said dismissively while adjusting the shape of the nozzle in his hand, increasing the spray force and area.

Under the onslaught of Holm's water flow, William Baker instantly lost control of the sandstorm over a large area.

This time, he had no other choice but to make the sandstorm that was not yet wet and could be controlled by him rage even more violently.

The sand and dust surged even more wildly, as if brewing a sandstorm far more exaggerated than before.

But before the sandstorm could take shape, with a muffled thud, another fire hydrant was found and opened.

Holm looked up and saw a fire hydrant that had been kicked askew, located on the other side of the street, far away from him.

Meanwhile, Gwen stood to the side with her hands on her hips, catching her breath, and occasionally kicking the fire hydrant to make it spray even more fiercely.

“The locations of fire hydrants are usually corresponding, so after seeing you find the fire hydrant, I quickly found this one too!” Feeling Holm’s gaze, Gwen explained as she kicked the fire hydrant away completely.

Holm nodded in agreement, and at the same time ripped the fire hydrant off his hand, letting the water flow out.

He has now temporarily subdued William Baker and can now find other fire hydrants to destroy.

Stepping through the wet mud and sand, Holm quickly found another fire hydrant.

This time he didn't do much; he simply turned his right hand into a knife and sliced ​​the fire hydrant in half.

"I'm here to help too!" Daisy's shout suddenly came from afar. She was driving a red fire truck, spraying high-pressure water while speaking through a loudspeaker.

She not only used the fire truck to suppress the sandstorm in this area, but also cleared a path for the fire trucks behind her.

Soon, the fire trucks behind him followed into the core area and then scattered, spraying water jets.

Under such a comprehensive offensive, the flying sand and dust were suppressed in no time.

The only problem was that although the sand and dust had soaked through, they still couldn't figure out which part was William Baker.

Holm guessed that William Baker had most likely escaped during the chaos, but there was still a slight possibility that he was mixed in with the mud and sand.

However, Holm's mission is now over, and the remaining mess is no longer his concern.

The matter has been temporarily resolved; now it's up to the S.H.I.E.L.D. researchers to deal with.

Whether it's collecting and analyzing all that silt, or developing a special device to imprison William Baker, these are all headaches for S.H.I.E.L.D.

The most important thing for Holm right now is to take a shower as soon as possible, since he's covered in sand and mud.

Holm walked into the alley next door as he pondered this; Gwen had just entered through this alley.
