Chapter 624: Kratos
Time goes back a few hours to when Karasophin had just gotten two parasites from Cobra.
New California, although it has the same name as California on the earth, is actually not a state, not even a city, but just a small town, and there are not many residents in the town, but it can be judged from the name of the town alone, most of the residents here come from California on the earth.
However, New California is only the name of the townspeople, and the Star Alliance does not officially recognize it. Because with the vast majority of the inhabitants of the earth being forcibly relocated to various colonies, after settling down, in order to miss their hometown, they always like to name their new homes according to their own ideas, what new Paris, new London, new New York, New Orleans~~~ Basically, the utilization rate of each name is at least hundreds of times, and it would be strange if all of them were officially adopted.
And basically except for large cities like Huygens City, the capital of Titans, and Huygens City where the discoverer Huygens is clear, small towns like New California do not deserve to have official names, and some are only codenames...... Gathering point T-E3.
T is for Titan and E is east. Because there is no longer a national power, basically every colonized planet is basically divided into four administrative regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, which is extremely simple and crude.
As can also be seen from the number, this is called New California by the inhabitants, and it was one of the earliest settlements established on Titan, and it was actually established even before the formation of the Star Alliance, when the United States still existed.
And the person who led the establishment of this settlement was the former leader of the Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, after Susan married Victor, he disposed of all the assets on the earth, and brought his old partner Ben Graemm to Titan Star, spent a lot of money to build a research center here, and put all his mind into the study of the prehistoric civilization of Titan, and now 50% of the non-interstellar technology on the market is basically from Reed's hand, so to speak, Reed is the one who has studied the prehistoric civilization of Titan the most.
Settlement T-E3 was formed around Reid's experimental center, and even the name New California was first named by him...... Although Reid has largely lived in New York since he became famous, he is actually a Californian.
The name New California, during the American period, was even officially recognized, and it was not until the Star Alliance unified human civilization that the official name was banned.
It is also from this origin that the vast majority of the residents of the T-E3 settlement are from California, USA...... The current self-media journalist, Eddie Bullock is also one of them...... Like Reed, although his career started and became famous in New York, he is also a Californian, which is one of the reasons why he went to San Francisco after the Global Times incident in the Earth Era.
However, Eddie Bullock, who has now returned to T-E3 after escaping from the ship's crash, is afraid to return home.
Although he was reckless, he was not stupid, and after being attacked by Venom near the crash site of the spaceship, although he was not able to communicate with the parasite in the first place like Eugene Thompson, he also knew that there was something wrong with his body.
If it were a normal person, he might choose to call the police in this situation, but because of his own work and personality problems, Eddie Bullock has an instinctive distrust of the official, whether it is the American period when he is still on Earth, or the current Star Covenant era, so he has an instinctive distrust of the official, let alone calling the police, and even cut off all the communication equipment on his body, abandoning anything that can locate himself, and then fled back to T-E3 as soon as possible, and he didn't go home...... Because he was attacked during the live broadcast, he knew that after the footage was transmitted, it would not be difficult for the authorities to look for him, and his judgment was correct, and at this time, the space agency and the police were also rushing to his home.
So in this difficult situation, Eddie Bullock thinks of his fellow countryman Reed Richards...... This is not his whim, in fact, Eddie and Reed have known each other as early as when they were in New York, after all, Reed was also a frequent visitor to the news at that time, the two had a lot of dealings, and they were friends, and as a media worker, Eddie also knew something about the love-hate relationship between Reed and the senior management of the Star Alliance, especially Victor, one of the giants...... If there are people in this world who are unlikely to betray him, Reed Richards must be one of them.
Of course, more importantly, Reed Richards is one of the few famous scientists in all mankind, that is, he is unwilling to work for the Covenant, otherwise he would have been one of the proper Covenant executives, and if he can't find out about the problems in his body, Eddie Bullock said that it would be better for him to turn himself in as soon as possible.
So Eddie Bullock walked out of an alley where he was hiding, and after carefully observing the surroundings at the entrance of the alley, he walked decisively to the Richards Experimental Center across the street.
"You came in time, the metabolism of your whole body is abnormal, if it continues, it won't be long before there will be systemic organ failure!" Reed Richards said to Eddie Bullock, who was immobilized all over, with a solemn face, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a parasitic creature that is over-absorbing nutrients from your body...... I have never seen any kind of parasite that can have such a huge impact on the human body in such a short period of time! ”
Just as Eddie Bullock thought, after listening to his story, Reed really didn't betray his intention to report the matter to the authorities, and provided him with a very comprehensive physical examination as soon as possible, and discovered the existence of Venom.
"Is there any way to get this out of my body? Am I going to die? After listening to Reed's words, Eddie Brock immediately became nervous, and his whole body was exhausted? Fools understand what this means.
"Of course, I found out during the examination just now, this thing reacts very strongly to ultrasound, and it should be able to force it out of your body in this way, but this process will be more painful, as for the danger, there is no problem, when you will be weak for a while, drink some nutrient solution and recover quickly, the best thing is to buy a genetic medicine to strengthen yourself." Reed replied.
"Then I'll rest assured, as for the genetic medicine or something, forget it!" Hearing Reed's answer, Eddie Bullock was finally relieved, but when Reed talked about the genetic potion, he could only show a wry smile.
Although genetic potions are now very popular in the Star Alliance, they have not reached the point where everyone has them, and there are two ways to strengthen genes, either join the army, or buy them yourself, or find a rich boss like Eugene Thompson before to sign a deed of sale.
And Eddie happens to have no of any, so he belongs to a poor B who doesn't want to join the army, and he can't even afford the most basic genetic drugs...... In contrast, Eugene Thompson and Samus, who are also already called hosts, do not have the problem of organ failure at all.
"Well, this parasite is very peculiar and very valuable for research, so after taking it out, I hope you will agree to let me study it for a while! In exchange, I can give you a high-grade genetic potion, what do you think? Seeing Eddie Bullock's embarrassment, Reed thought for a moment and said.
Also a scientist, Reed's coffee position can be said to be several notches higher than Cobra Commander Rex and Carlton Drake...... The gap is similar to that between Tony Stark and Justin Hammer, and it has only been half an hour since Eddie entered the door, and he has not only figured out the basic properties of Venom, but also understood the great value of it.
"Wow, it's yours!" Hearing Reed's proposal, Eddie Bullock agreed without thinking, joking, this kind of ghost thing loves whoever wants it, he doesn't want it anyway, and he can make an expensive genetic medicine for nothing, so a fool doesn't agree.
Ten minutes later, looking at the venom that was packed into a special container, like a cloud of black mud, the boulder in Eddy Bullock's heart finally fell, and then took the expensive genetic medicine and some relevant information about venom from Reed, and happily walked out of the Reed Experimental Center, thinking about how to make a big news...... Just kidding, because of this matter, he has suffered so much, if he doesn't completely expose it and make a big news, it's not his Eddie Bullock character. As for the fact that behind this incident, whether it is the Life Foundation or the official Titan Star Alliance, and whether the news can break out, is not within his scope of consideration, anyway, it will explode first.
After seeing Eddie Bullock leave, Reed Richards turned around and returned to the laboratory, picked up the container containing the venom, and then walked deeper into the center of the laboratory, and after passing the passwords, came to a special laboratory.
Like the other laboratories in the experimental center, this laboratory is full of complex instruments, but the most conspicuous is a culture bin in the center of the laboratory...... Or the figure in the cultivation warehouse.
Incomparably tall and strong inhuman figure, the same purple skin, the same coconut shoes, the same big bald head, the figure in the cultivation warehouse is the same as Thanos Thanos, and it looks stronger than Thanos, the only difference is that this Eternal has a lot of irregular red striped patterns on its body.
It is Reed's biggest receipt after coming to Titan, and it is also the biggest secret...... A living corpse of the Eternals...... Or Reed doesn't know if this is a corpse or not, because after countless tests, this body obviously does not have any brain wave activity, and the heart does not beat, but the blood in the body is still active, which is very strange.
For the study of this body, Reed has been going on for several years, but the harvest is not big, because although the blood of the other party's body remains active, as long as it is extracted from the body, it will be completely exhausted without any reason in a few minutes, and there is no way to study it, in addition, Reed has not found any other valuable items related to the corpse in the place where he found the corpse...... Except for two names, Kratos and Sanos.
Although the earth has entered the interstellar age, the existence of Thanos Thanos, except for the high-level members of the Star Alliance, is still very few people who know about it, so Reed doesn't know what the name means, let alone the name Kratos.
Reed only knows one thing now, and that is that the arrival of Eddie with Venom today has made him see a new turn in his research on this body, as for what will happen to him next? Reed didn't know, and he didn't care.
It can't be said that scientists are crazy, in fact, when doing research, most scientists will be prepared for what they think is perfect, but in this world, there are many things that science cannot explain, and in the face of these things, people think that they are perfectly prepared, and Reed is naturally no exception.
So the end result is that a lot of people suffer because of it.
And in Reed's behavior this time, the first to suffer was Venom, the second to suffer was Reed himself, the third was Ben Graeme who was drinking afternoon tea next door, then the ordinary staff of the experimental center, the residents of the town, Eddie Brock, who had not far from the experimental center, and then many, many people on Titan.
