0157: Assimilation and Evolution

The mysterious and spectacular island of Kracoa, surrounded by fog that makes it almost impossible to see its borders, has many huge trees towering into the sky, with thick trunks and lush foliage, as if it were a primeval forest.

In the center of the towering tree, there is a hall made of trees and vines, which is the most central point of the island, and there are round tables and benches inside.

Rojo and the professor, as well as Logan and Eric, sat in a chair, in front of them was the special vegetation growing on the island of Krakoa, it flickered brightly, projecting three images of the situation of the three reaction forces at this time, all of their bodies were gradually entangled by vines, and forcibly dragged into the ground, and in a short time they merged with the land, as if they had never appeared, and the living vines also dissipated after a few shakes.

"What are those vines?"

Lorna was a little stunned, "Every part of Krakoya's body can move?" ”

"Krakoya's body is complex, its body is huge, but the most important thing about it is the main brain, which is where we are now, the main brain is the place that gives it life, allows it to think like a human being, and at the same time has extraordinary powers."

Rojo carefully recalled the information about Krakoa and explained to several people, "Specifically, Krakoya's ability is "projection", which can project "helpers" in the island, similar to those vines, and let them deal with enemies who come to the island, but this ability is limited to the island, so when it encounters a more powerful and huge enemy, it will directly rely on the powerful power of the mastermind to drive the entire huge body and transform into a human form, just like when we first encountered it in the Atlantic. ”

"Understood."

Lorna nodded.

Charles Xavier on the side stared at the disappearing S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers in the picture and asked, "Rojo, haven't you finished speaking, Krakoya's abilities are not limited to these two." ”

"Don't worry, Professor, I'm about to say another, most crucial point."

Rojo slowed down and said, "I said before that Krakoa needs to eat, and it can only evolve if it absorbs enough nutrients, and this is also the agreement I made with him. ”

"You promised to feed it?"

The professor asked.

"Hmm."

Rojo didn't beat around the bush and said, "As you can see, Krakoa can replenish nutrients by absorbing living beings, and those outsiders were absorbed by it just now. ”

Unless it is a true cosmic god, the growth of any kind of creature is inseparable from absorption and nutrients, and this is especially true of the huge island of Krakoa, not to mention the fact that there are all kinds of strange vegetation growing on the island, such as the vegetation that now monitors all corners of the island, and it can present a picture of every corner of the island.

When it turns into an island, it will wait for those creatures to land on its body and absorb it, and at the same time, it can also replenish nutrients by absorbing energy, which was previously developed because it absorbed the energy in nuclear weapons.

"So, as long as there are enough nutrients, can the island continue to grow?"

Logan Howlett found it incredible.

He had planned to see if Krakoa's environment on the island would change after absorbing S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers, but there had been no change so far.

Obviously, those soldiers of S.H.I.E.L.D. can't meet Krakoya's needs at all, it can't evolve yet, and it needs more nutrients.

"The more powerful the creature, the more nutrients it has."

Rojo didn't say a single thing, in fact, Krakoa wanted to suck the special energy in the mutant's body at first, and the X gene was a temptation for it, otherwise it wouldn't have been circling around the territorial waters of the Atlanteans for so long.

However, it is impossible for Rojo to feed his own people to Cracoia.

This is also the reason why he brought Krakoa to the Pacific Ocean and close to the territorial waters of the United States, and now the outside world for the time being, most of Krakoya's perception is considered to be paranormal, and it is not linked to mutants or conspiracy theories, which means that there will be continuous attempts to explore the island for some time to come.

To be clear, Krakoa is on the high seas, not only in the United States, but also in other countries, and people from other countries can try to set foot on the island, whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or the military, they are only part of it. In addition, the reason why it was chosen in the Pacific Ocean is that the sea area is wide enough, and in case of emergency, Krakoa has enough space to move.

According to the current situation, Rojo intends to stay still for the time being, and he has another equally important thing to do now, which is to get the super serum.

I had agreed with Sharon Carter to meet at the old place in New Mexico, and today was the date, and Rojo took Logan to the cabaret as scheduled, but because the previous box was booked, the location was changed to an alley of a building.

By then, Sharon Carter had been leaning against the wall, waiting for a long time, with a huge box at her feet, and looking at both sides of the alley from time to time, this place was almost impossible for anyone to come, but she still habitually looked left and right.

Boom!

The movement behind her made her brows furrow, and she turned her head to see Luo Huo and the two appear, and said, "Ling's teleportation ability, the movement is really quite big." ”

"Everything is here?"

Rojo's attention was on the box, which was the serum that would help Eric recover.

"You're lucky, you made a batch of new products before, and there just happened to be some more."

Sharon Carter put the box at his feet, touched the ground, pushed it hard, and said, "Be honest, don't forget your promises." ”

"I won't forget, besides, it's your luck that being someone else is not just such a condition."

Rojo opened the box, a total of ten light blue serums, repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the serum, and found that the serum seemed to be more advanced than the previous version. The specific effect has to be used to know.

He wasn't particularly worried, Sharon would be doping something into it, Sharon didn't have to do that, and the test was also to determine what might be wrong with the serum itself.

"I don't have time to waste time with you here, the recent floating island is enough to give me a headache, if there is a deal in the future, the location should be determined by me."

Sharon Carter's tone was casual, and she didn't seem to worry that Rojo would reveal her identity as a broker, and she saw that it was obviously a good thing for someone like Rojo to have the ability to be a broker as a friend.

Now that most of the world rejects mutants, mutants need help more than ever.

"Floating Island?"

Logan Howlett, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "What's that?" ”

"You didn't watch the news?"

Sharon Carter suddenly remembered, "It seems unlikely that you have access to network equipment right now, Jarvis and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Skynet system is constantly monitoring. ”

She realized that she was talking too much, and immediately changed the subject back and said, "A strange island, but it doesn't have much to do with you, I'll go first." ”

Sharon glanced at the time, didn't stay any longer, there were other deals, waiting for her, for the ability broker, as long as there is enough time, then there can be business every day, which is the reason why the ability broker company has a global business.

"The Floating Island should be Krakoa."

Logan Howlett really didn't look much at social media, mainly for fear of being targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D., if the group of agents suddenly discovered one day that there was a signal source coming from the floating island

That wouldn't be a good thing for mutants.

"Krakoa is indeed a floating island."

Rojo remembers that Cracoa can even survive in space, just like Asgard, but the weightless environment of space will not be as easy for it as it is on Earth, and if it goes to space, it needs more nutrients, otherwise it will soon dry up and die.

"Just go back? Or go buy some groceries? ”

"Go buy some groceries."

Krakoa has a lot of resources, even fantastical magical vegetation, but it can't meet all the needs, so some daily necessities still need to be purchased from outside.

However, just as Rojo finished buying groceries and walked out of the gate of a supermarket, there were few vehicles in front of him, in the spacious parking lot.

Logan next to him frowned and said, "Before we went in, there were quite a lot of cars here, why did it suddenly become less." ”

"Someone let them go."

As Rojo was talking, suddenly in the sky, a black fighter plane flew in, it hovered high in the sky, like a black ghost soaring in the blue sky. The sun shines through the clouds and onto the fighter plane, reflecting a shimmering sheen. The wings flickered in the sunlight.

"It's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quint fighter, and that Sharon Carter bitch betrayed us?"

When Logan Howlett recognized the fighter plane overhead, the first thing that came to mind was Sharon Carter, who had just left on the front foot.

"Probably not, she didn't have to."

Rojo shook his head, he had subconsciously imprisoned Sharon's mind with telepathy, and she would not have been able to expose it to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Bang!

The door of the fighter plane opened, and a dark blue figure fell from the sky, holding a shield in his hand, and a superhero with a broken knee landed, and then he slowly stood up, his blue eyes full of surprise and alertness.

High in the air behind him, a black shadow swept by, spread its wings, flew in a circle, and then landed on the ground together, and folded its wings.

"Rojo, Rogan, it's really you."

Steve Rogers clenched his shield and said in a somewhat agitated tone, a month had passed, and they had not heard from Rojo.

But a few minutes ago, Jarvis reminded that Rojo and Rogan were found in the surveillance screen, and he thought he would pounce, but he didn't expect to see the two who had disappeared for many days.

"Captain, long time no see."

Rojo was also surprised by Steve's appearance.

"Originally, we were still in a meeting."

Steve wanted to stop talking, and wanted to ask how the situation was, but apparently, the question was redundant, and he changed his words and said: "General Ross has died, and it has to do with your people, but as long as those few people stand up and turn themselves in, everything will be dealt with lightly." ”

He relented and said, "You are the same, no one will be fine, there will always be a better solution"

Rojo interrupted him and asked, "What's the solution?" ”

"It's not decided yet, it's up to you to discuss it together."

Steve said in a deep voice.

What a skillful answer, but Rojo is not a child, and he is not so easy to take the bait, "There is no hope, Rogers, what we are doing now is for a better future." ”

"We need to sit down and talk."

Steve shook his head, "Those friends of yours, they made a big mistake. ”

Thundered!!!

Suddenly, a brilliant thunder light flashed in the sky, and that light struck this side at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it became more and more intense, and the light became more and more brilliant!

It's like a dark blue falling meteor that pierces through the clouds at breakneck speed.

"It looks like it's your teammate and doesn't want to talk about it."

Rojo looked at the thunder in the sky and smiled.

"Damn."

Steve realizes who is coming.

"Thor."

Sam the Falcon looked back as well.

Look closely, it was Thor covered in thunder and lightning, he stiffened his face, clenched Thor's hammer, and roared: "Steve, stop talking nonsense with them, catch him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the thunderbolt had already rushed towards the two of them.

"Thor, calm down!"

Seeing this, Steve hurriedly raised his shield and stopped in front of Thor, blocking his dive line.

In the next second, the hammer and the shield collided, and the collision of metal produced a deafening roar, a huge sound seemed to tear the eardrum, and the wind and waves visible to the naked eye rolled up in the air, constantly sweeping outward. At the same time, the dazzling thunder flickered, and the intense strong light engulfed half of the sky.

"Steve, what are you doing!"

When the thunder cleared, Thor angrily pointed ahead, "You let them escape in front of their eyes!" ”

Steve glanced at Rojo's previous position, which was now empty, and said, "Rojo has the ability to teleport, no one can stop him if he wants to leave, and he stayed just now, obviously wanting to talk, you scared him away!" ”

"Naive, he won't want to talk about it."

Thor angrily picked up the hammer and said, "If he wants to talk, bring his friends out first!" ”

Now, Thor's mind is full of the guy who raised the hammer and humiliated himself, and if he has the chance, he must have a duel between warriors with that guy.

"You're carried away by anger, calm down!"

Steve wanted to say something, but Thor had already flown away, and he was helpless and smashed the floor with his shield to vent.

Then he glanced at the place where Rojo had disappeared, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

The situation seems irreparable and is getting worse and worse.

And he always felt that something very bad was going to happen in the future, and this premonition became even stronger after meeting Rojo just now.

Let's hope things don't go in the worst direction.

Falcon Sam was also helpless, "Steve, go back." ”
