Chapter 326: The First Arrival of the Skrulls
It is a natural cave, located several kilometers deep underground. This is where young Reed found during a field adventure. He named it New Eden.
"There's no natural light, but there are self-glowing plants. Reed gestured to the flickering fluorescent glows hanging upside down from the top of the cave. Both Susan and Doom thought it was an artificial light source installed by Reed.
"These star-like lights actually come from a fungal plant. They emit a faint light source, but when they light up, they provide basic photosynthesis like the artificial light sources we make in our labs. ”
"This provides the most basic light source for the ecological park, and because of this light, fungi and plants can grow underground. In fact, these fungi and plants live mainly in the underground environment. Reed introduced the creatures and plants in the cave as easily as knowing where his palm prints were going.
"There's also an underground river passing through here, with some special aquatic arthropod animals and some exotic spores. Young Reed said proudly with open hands, "This is a complete ecological garden! They are self-circulating! Do you understand the meaning of all this? If you give them enough time, they can give birth to another form of civilization." Even intelligent life!"
Reed said with some fantasies: "This is what I think is the best research topic." We should be involved in this biological evolution, and I've actually been doing this for a few years. ”
"Look at these arrangements. Reed pointed to some of the obvious artificial traces in the wide underground cavern, and he said excitedly: "I have made some improvements here, such as increasing the oxygen content, such as adding some accelerators appropriately, and so on. I am catalyzing the progress of an ecological civilization. And these subterranean spore creatures are evolving much faster than I thought. In my early years, they were single-celled creatures, but now there are arthropods in the water. ”
"I have mastered several potions that give birth to their biological evolutionary process, and by emitting gas here, we can accelerate their evolutionary process, as long as we continue to evolve at this rate, we can get a new ecological civilization circle in ten years!" Reed had already thought of the best ending. After that, he won the Nobel Prize in Biology, became CEO ever since, won Bai Fumei (Susan), and then went to the peak of his life.
But just as he was praising his future, Doom, who had always been silent, poured cold water on him.
"Do you want to build another biome, and then expect to control them yourself? and even the evolutionary process of these creatures, and then let them break out of the ground and wipe out the world of human civilization?"
"Don't you know how fragile the Earth's ecosphere is, how do these fungi and the arthropods in the water spread so quickly?" Doom frowned and saw the arthropods in the underground pond, which looked like a miniature version of the alien facehug in a Hollywood movie, and it was disgusting to look at.
Doom really couldn't figure out what Reed was trying to do with these things, to create aliens? Could it be that Reed was actually a descendant of the Predator?
"They can only live underground with spores, and I'm trying to improve their survival adaptability. Dr. Reed said.
Doom said in an incomprehensible tone, "Are you crazy? It's like making a super antibody to a super virus so that the virus can't be killed by any antibiotics!"
"You're too pessimistic, Doom. Naturally, I couldn't let these things go to the surface. I'll control the range, this place is of great significance to human science research. Their life forms are very special, I've been doing research for a long time, I've found several catalytics, and if they are controlled, we can observe the evolution of a group of spore or fungal organisms over thousands or even tens of thousands of years in ten years! Do you understand what this means? We can create a civilization!" Reed didn't like Doom because he couldn't make it easy for Susan to show off.
And Doom did not back down from Reed's words: "Do you know what you do? Do you think you can control everything but everything can be controlled by you? Do you think you are an all-knowing and all-powerful god? This place must be destroyed!"
Doom has made up his mind that this place cannot remain on Earth. (Tony: Well done, Doom you're doing the right thing.) Otherwise, if we let the youthful Reed do it, we might have to carry the Head & Shoulders Shampoo to destroy those mutant monsters. )
"No way! You're trying to ruin my hard work, this is the birthplace of my future Nobel Prize!" Reed didn't give an inch.
And just when the two were about to explode, Susan intervened in time to make a modulating effect: "Alright, alright, gentlemen." Don't quarrel just yet, okay? Especially you Doom, take your hand from your waist, I know you've brought something alive. Unless you want to kill Reed now, you'd better take it back!"
Susan's words made Doom's cheeks jump, and he slowly withdrew his hand. Reed was also taken aback by Susan's words, and he asked Susan, "What did you say Doom brought?"
Susan glanced at Reed, "Worse than that, Doom's own gadget." The high-temperature hot melt gun, he showed me, can shoot 11,500 degrees of heat rays at the highest power. With just one shot, you can completely disappear from this world and truly return to the particle state. ”
"Hmph. Doom snorted at Reed, but didn't argue with Susan. And Reed was temporarily turned off because of Doom's attitude, especially his hot melt gun.
The group of three exited the cave in a slightly awkward atmosphere. They camp outside for the night, and Doom and Reed are still arguing over whether or not they should destroy the place.
While the two of them were arguing, a group of uninvited guests suddenly visited this inconspicuous wilderness. First there was a faint flash of light, followed by a staggering group of humanoid creatures on the ground.
They look like the mythical Green Goblins, but much stronger than the Green Goblins. It is a creature that sits somewhere between an orc and a goblin in human legends.
They looked as if they had been badly wounded, and they lay on the ground for a long time without coming to their senses. When the first strong goblin stood up, he looked around at the surrounding wilderness and the only place in the wilderness where there was light (Reed and the others' camp).
He made a small gesture to the other goblins, and then whispered, "There was a huge accident on this voyage. We're here to find a new colony suitable for Skrull. But it looks like there are native civilizations on this planet, and we need to figure out the strength of their civilization and make our plans for the future. Will you quietly withdraw from here, or will you conquer it directly!"
