Chapter 146: The Skrulls
As Nick followed the two Skrulls onto the ship, the hatch of the ship slowly closed.
"Dude, what's wrong with you? Looks like your nerves are tightened together, huh? How? What have you been in trouble lately?"
The Skrulls looked at Nick with concern.
As an old friend of Nick's for decades, he could see something in this old man's every move.
It's just, I don't know why, I haven't seen Nick for many years, and this time we met, he felt that Nick had changed a little.
This change is not internal, but that external change.
You must know that they Skrull are the race that is best at imitating others, so they can control a person's external details very finely, and they can detect some details that ordinary people can't perceive at the first time.
Like Nick at the moment.
It didn't feel like an old man in his sixties or seventies at all, but more like a young man.
Sixty or seventy years old is just a snap of a finger for the Skrulls.
But for the people of the earth, it symbolizes the passage of most of their lives.
In the past, Nick was so high-spirited, especially when the two of them first met, Nick was still a young man in the prime of life.
But now, decades have passed.
They watched as Nick grew older, from a young man to a old man.
He used to feel embarrassed, feeling that the life span of human beings is still too short and too short.
So short that he had barely seen Nick a few times, and he had already grown so old.
Not to mention that the hair is gone, even the state is not as good as before.
But now, Nick feels alive.
It even gave him the illusion that Nick could regain his youthful face whenever he wanted.
In every aspect, it's a lot better than when Nick was at the peak of his youth!
"Talos, I know I can't hide it from you."
Nick also noticed Talos' slightly strange gaze.
Sure enough, the slightest change in himself can't be hidden in front of the Skrulls who are good at imitating others.
But he wasn't going to say anything about how much power he had gained.
"Of course, we are old friends, and you have no secrets in front of old friends."
Talos smiled and patted Nick on the shoulder, he had a good relationship with Nick.
It can even be said that Nick is one of the few humans on Earth that he can trust.
"Aren't you going to tell me about what you've been through lately?"
"You feel very different now, like a young man full of power, even better than when you were younger," Talos asked.
You know, man, a lot of things can be loaded, but the essence is that they can't.
In your current physical state, it's like a different person!"
Listening to what Talos had to say about himself, Nick smiled.
"Something happened, I almost died, but fortunately, I was also a blessing in disguise, and gained some extraordinary powers, but compared to you, it is still far behind." Nick smiled and shook his head and explained, not saying much, just briefly mentioning it.
"I see."
Talos still knew a lot about Nick's character, so he didn't plan to ask more, but when he heard that Nick was in danger, he was still stunned.
"What is a difficult big thing to make you make such an evaluation." Talos asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's all over, it's just that I have a big deal to deal with next, it's very urgent, and if the situation is not right, I'm afraid I'll need your help." Nick said very seriously.
"No problem, man, if you need any help, just say it." Talos patted his chest and assured.
At the same time, another Skrull just now, who had also prepared a glass of wine for the two of them, handed it to them.
"Thank you."
Nick raised his glass and politely thanked the Skrull.
After receiving an affirmative reply from Taros, he casually lifted his feet and placed them on Talos's workbench, just like in Nick's own office.
Talos didn't say much about this.
He and Nick have been friends for many years and never cared about the little details.
For him, the more casual Nick behaves, the deeper the bond between them, and it is too late for him to be happy.
"Can you help me contact Carol? I have something I need to talk to her about. ”
Nick took a closer look at the dessert wine in his glass, which was made using their special technique of the Skrulls, and tasted like a rare wine compared to the dessert wine on earth, and Nick almost had a drink every time he came to Talos.
In the past, Nick might have felt slightly drunk after drinking this cup.
But now, I don't feel anything.
Because of the ability of the American team's super serum, it directly makes Nick immune to all alcohol.
And the reason why he wanted Talos to help him find Carol.
That's because he couldn't get in touch with him himself.
Although Captain Marvel left Nick a very old pager, it has been modified to allow Captain Marvel to receive Nick's call for help in any universe and rush back in time.
But that thing can only be used once.
Unless it's a real special situation, Nick wouldn't use it.
If nothing else, Nick won't be using it for the next ten years.
But he didn't need this thing himself, and he couldn't contact Carol, so there was no way, so Nick had to ask Talos to help with it.
"Contact Carol?"
Talos frowned when he heard this.
He knew that Nick wouldn't contact Captain Marvel on weekdays, unless something very important happened.
"Is the situation so urgent?"
Talos also guessed the urgency of the matter, so he asked.
"Yes."
Nick nodded.
"I can't use the BB machine that Carol left for me, so I can only trouble you."
"Of course no problem, we have our own way to contact her, you come with me."
Talos motioned for Nick to come over.
He led Nick to the ship's driver's seat and nodded to the Skrulls who were piloting the ship.
After receiving a signal from Taros, a call prompt suddenly appeared above the ship.
Within two seconds, the call was answered.
I saw a woman in uniform and glowing all over her body, appearing on the projection.
It's the same Captain Marvel who makes Nick want to stab her twice!
