Chapter 8: The First Night
Stanley and the others encounter their first mysterious beast on Skull Island, a fierce animal that looks like a house cat, and everyone except for the two doctors is a battle-hardened warrior who shoots at the sight of the enemy.
It's just that the skin and flesh of this monster are a little thick, and there is no way to solve it for a while, and there are even almost casualties, so it will definitely not work if it goes on like this, they still need to stay on this big island for a week, so Stanley immediately asked Jessica to take action.
Peggy, which is the abbreviation of P.G in English for Divine Power Girl, Stanley is only here to do a mission, and he has no intention of revealing his identity to the district, even if his identity is already known to many people, so the three of them are all codenames.
As soon as Jessica heard Stanley's words, she immediately nodded and rose into the air and punched the opponent's waist in mid-air, the giant beast obviously couldn't imagine that these little things could fly, and there was no way to change their trajectory in mid-air, so they could only watch Jessica fight, and don't forget Jessica's name, it is not a strange name like the Flying Woman, but a Divine Woman.
can be called divine power, of course, because of Jessica's own super strength, so this unknown giant beast was suddenly blinded, and fell directly from mid-air to the ground, letting out a wail.
It's a pity that there is no one at the scene, the screams of the cat-shaped giant beast are pitiful, after all, they were almost about to eat one of them just now, so they didn't hesitate to shoot, and the big guy who was blinded by Jessica was shot in the eye by a bullet without resistance, and died after struggling a few times.
"Finally dead, damn it, what the hell is this?" Locke said with a sigh of relief.
"Okay, stop complaining, hurry up and get the genetic sample. The smell of blood attracts other things," Professor Martin was accustomed to Locke's thoughts, but he was not in the mood to listen to him at this time.
Locke didn't talk nonsense when he heard this, and immediately walked over to a device to take some genetic samples of the giant beast and some flesh and blood, and after some processing, put them into a sealed jar that he carried with him.
"It's good that there's no venom in the blood and flesh of this thing." Locke casually put the gloves in his hand into a bag and said.
"So it's okay to eat?" A black soldier looked at the beast viciously, he was the one who had just been almost eaten, but now he wanted to eat the beast back.
"I guess there's no problem, but I don't guarantee the quality of the meat." Locke said with a shrug.
"Grab some, but remember to dispose of them, and don't let the other beasts follow the smell to us." There is no objection to crossbones, anyway, they have to eat, and it is better to eat meat than to eat a nutritious meal.
The two soldiers immediately walked over to get the meat, but Jessica and Mindy looked a little disgusted, although this thing was indeed not a cat, but it looked a little like ah, seeing these people taking meat, thinking that they would eat it in the future, they felt a little disgusted.
"It's not a kitten, okay, just don't look at it." Stanley didn't expect that the murderous Mindy would do the same, pulling them aside and seeing them out of sight.
Of course, this is just a small episode, and as the group continues on their way, they need to find a place to camp, the island is too dangerous, and there are more things to consider when looking for a camping spot, such as the giant creatures that travel at night.
"Do you think there will be huge mosquitoes?" A soldier asked as he hurried to the road.
"How do I know, there shouldn't be, if there is a giant mosquito, I don't dare to continue to imagine it." The other soldier shuddered.
"And giant cockroaches, pythons, rats and so on." One of the soldiers said.
"I'll go, you're enough, don't use your imagination, it's a little scary to think about these things."
Listening to the conversation between the soldiers, Corson looked at Professor Martin and asked, "Doctor, what do you think caused these creatures to become what they are now?" ”
Professor Martin shook his head and said, "This is really said without research, everything here is a mystery, and this is the second time that human beings have officially explored." ”
"Yes, yes, this island is so strange, there are always thick thunderclouds around the island, and it seems to be a moving island, full of all kinds of mysteries." Locke followed.
"There are so many mysterious times in this world, such as Miss Peggy's abilities," Martin said with some emotion.
Everyone nodded slightly, yes, superheroes have appeared, and they are the kind with superpowers, what else in this world is impossible. Of course, Crossbone may know more, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the first to deal with various supernatural events every time, but unfortunately although Locke asked a few times, Crossbone still maintained his cold personality, and did not respond to Locke's questions, his mouth seems to only open when fighting, and other times it is a complete facial paralysis.
The crowd walked for nearly an hour or two, and the light on the horizon seemed to be about to disappear, and in the process, they encountered some strange creatures, some of them ran away immediately after seeing this group of humans, and some of them were already hanging on the shoulders of some people, and they were about to become everyone's dinner.
"Let's rest here." Corson pointed to a flat area, not far from the woods, where the terrain was relatively flat and could be used to make some traps and alarm bells.
In this mysterious island, they did not dare to rest in the woods, but chose such a place, after all, the forest is too dangerous. That's not to say it's safe, it's just that they have some leeway, and they're not trying to survive in the wilderness, they're an unarmed and well-equipped team.
Crossbones had no problem with Corson's arrangement, and arranged for the soldiers to make improvised traps and some devices, while the others began to set up tents, and had to get out their sleeping places before the sun went down.
Under the cooperation of everyone, they quickly built a simple camp, and there was a fire in the middle, and several small boxes with the words Stark Enterprise were put aside, which was a mobile power supply developed by Stark Enterprise, and the power is still very good, which is mainly used to provide energy for the electronic barrier around the enemy, of course, it can also charge computers and mobile phones, after all, it is said that the power is full, and one section is stronger than the other.
Cousson was processing some of the meat he had brought back earlier, Locke was on the side to help, while Mindy and Jessica went into a tent to rest, ready to call them again when the meal was ready, if it weren't for the fact that these people were all carrying weapons, then even Cowson, who was cooking, would have put their weapons in the nearest position, and might have thought that this group of people had come here to camp.
