Pier 14, South Pacific, Thailand, 1973.

Athena.

The dock was crowded with people, and a group of American soldiers transported various equipment to the ship.

A woman with blond hair and an old-fashioned face followed the crowd with a bag on her back, looking for something.

"I'm Mason Weaver, a photographer on the Terrestrial Guard." Walking up to a staff member in a blue uniform, she handed over the pass in her hand.

"Mason Weaver?"

The staff took the pass and looked up and down, "Look at this name, I thought it was a man." ”

"Don't worry, I've already checked."

Weaver smiled, both in terms of name and appearance, she was a little too masculine.

The lines of her face are hard and her skin is a little rough, but this is more in line with her status as a war correspondent.

Following the staff's guidance, she made her way through the crowd to the Athena's escalator, where a black officer blocked her way.

"Please show your ID."

With a swarthy face, a stilted countenance, and a faint bloodshot in the black officer's eyes, it was clear that he hadn't slept soundly for a long time.

"A photojournalist?"

The black officer raised an eyebrow, "How did you come up with the idea of participating in this Landsat program?" ”

"I've heard that you can shoot something interesting here." Weaver replied formulaically.

The black officer's face sank slightly, and he handed the pass back, "It is precisely because of the existence of you journalists that we, the front-line fighters, will be blamed in the country!" ”

Frowning, Weaver's face was also a little unpleasant, "It's the first time I've seen someone blame a reporter for a loss in a war." ”

She replied unceremoniously, and after saying that, she snatched her pass, and boarded the boat.

Lieutenant Colonel Packard didn't say anything more, but there was a hint of anger hidden in his eyes, he was a pure soldier, and in his opinion, the retreat of the American troops in the Vietnam War was an indelible shame.

At the same time, in a room on the Athena, a young man with black hair opened his eyes.

"Has it already arrived?" Mawson looked around, then got up from the bed with his hands propped up.

He was in a separate room, about ten square meters, with two large suitcases in the corner, and open books on the table marked with many pictures of strange creatures.

Closing his eyes and searching the remaining memories, he learned something about the body.

"The name is still Mawson, a Chinese, and he is still an expert in cryptology."

"Is there still such a strange profession?"

Sitting up from the bed, Mawson walked to the mirror, and a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of him in the light.

"This is my own face......"

Mawson was in a trance, he had been in the mission world for so long that he had almost forgotten what he really was.

Although the other times it was also the ontology of the arrival, but each time the identity of the arrival was mostly white, even in the world of parasitic beasts, because it was the advent of consciousness, although the body used was Asian, but it was not what he was.

Only this time......

"Damn, looking at it like this, it's still very handsome!" Narcissistic smile, the young man in the mirror squeezed out a smile.

Only then did he have time to understand the mission world he was in and the mission objectives.

Quest World: King Kong Skull Island (part of a separate monster universe).

Objective: Obtain the corpses of three ancient xenomorphs and give them to the Imperial Order.

Duration of assignment: five years.

Note that the completeness and level of the corpse will affect the final reward.

Basic Rewards: One standard upgrade of the Bio Battery, additional rewards, Bio Battery iteration, and the opening of a new module in addition to the main energy battery.

Side Quest: Ensure the independence of Skull Island from any outside organization.

Reward: 2,500 Spacecoins.

Mo Sen frowned, in the movie world of King Kong Skull Island, he still has some impressions, in addition to human beings in this world, there are many ancient creatures hidden in the dark, some of them are huge xenomorphs like King Kong, and some cover the sky and the sun, which is enough to be called the destroyer of civilization.

Godzilla, the Death Horde, Mu Tou, these terrible beings are not at all something that Mawson can contend with head-on at this stage.

If these guys could still eat nuclear bombs as a snack like in the movies, Mawson really can't think of any other weapon that can kill them.

They instead of them.

It's some terrifying being with intelligence comparable to that of humans, who once ruled the entire planet countless years ago.

"I wish these guys were just background material in the movie and not in the world."

It's 1973, the U.S. government has just ended the Vietnam War, and at this stage, human science and technology have just started a new phase.

The successful ascension of the satellite has allowed human beings to observe the planet they live on from another angle, and also discovered many places that they had not set foot in before.

The Skull Island they went to this time was a mysterious island that was always shrouded in storms.

For thousands of years, countless ships have lost their way near Skull Island, which is like a devouring black hole that swallows up all life that comes close.

The Athena that Mawson and others took was going to Skull Island to investigate, which is one of the few areas on Earth that humans have never set foot in, and it is possible that rare animals and plants are hidden, which has great research value.

Although this operation is ostensibly called the Landsat program, the real purpose of this operation is not geological exploration at all.

Rather, there is another group that suspects that there are unknown ancient creatures hidden on the island, and that the Landsat program is just a front for the real purpose.

This organization is the Imperial Organization.

They discovered and studied the ancient creatures on Earth, guided and controlled them, covered up the news, and avoided causing panic to normal human society.

Mawson's delivery mission would require handing over the acquired ancient xenomorphs to the organization.

"It's a little tricky."

Mawson frowned slightly.

As far as Mawson knows, there are two powerful ancient xenomorphs living on Skull Island, the King Kong tribe and the skeleton creepers living underground.

Once he had acquired these two creatures, he would only need to find another ancient creature elsewhere to complete the mission.

But the tricky side quest requires Mawson to make sure that Skull Island is not known to the outside world, and if that is the case, he can't expose the existence of King Kong and the Skull Creepers through normal means.

He needed to find the best of both worlds, or simply abandon the species on Skull Island and go elsewhere to gather three ancient xenos to complete the mission.

If it were any other time, Mawson would not have had to care about the rewards of side quests, but this time it was very different.

When he returns to the real world, he will face a frontal attack by Wilde, and if he can't increase his strength to the limit in this world, even if he completes the mission and leaves this world, then Mawson will inevitably die.

So he must take advantage of this respite and do his best to improve his strength in order to cope with the crisis in the outside world!

Mawson paced and pondered the possibilities.

Just then, there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door.

Then there was a knock on the door.
