Chapter 881 The First Visit of the Skrulls

This is a natural cave, several kilometers deep underground. This is where young Reed found it during one of his wilderness expeditions. He named it New Eden.

"There is no natural light here, but there are self-illuminating plants." Reed pointed to the flickering fluorescent lights hanging upside down from the top of the cave. Both Susan and Doom thought it was an artificial light source installed by Reed.

"These lights that look like stars are actually coming from a fungus plant. They emit a faint light source, but when they're in full bloom they provide the same amount of light as the artificial light we made in the lab. Basic photosynthesis."

"This provides the most basic light source for this ecological park, and because of this light, underground fungi can grow. In fact, these fungi mainly live in the underground environment." Reed Introducing these biological plants in the cave like a few treasures is as simple as knowing the whereabouts of one's own palm prints.

"There is also an underground river passing by here, with some special aquatic arthropods and some strange spores." The young Reed said proudly with his hands open: "This is a complete ecological garden! They did it. Self-circulation! Do you understand the meaning of all this? As long as they are given enough time, they can give birth to another form of civilization. Even intelligent life!"

Reid said with some fantasy: "This is the best research topic I think. We should intervene in this biological evolution. In fact, I have been doing this for several years."

"Look at these layouts." Reed pointed to some artificial traces that obviously existed in the wide underground cave, and he said excitedly: "I have made some improvements here, such as increasing the oxygen content, for example, appropriately increasing some Catalysts, etc. I'm catalyzing the progress of an ecological civilization. And these subterranean spores are evolving much faster than I thought. They were single-celled creatures a few years ago, but now they are in the water Already there are arthropods."

"I have already mastered several medicines that can catalyze their biological evolution process. Emission of gas here can speed up their evolution process. As long as we continue to evolve at this speed, we can get a brand new ecological civilization circle in more than ten years. !" Reed had already thought of the best ending. After that, he won the Nobel Prize in Biology, became the CEO, won Bai Fumei (Susan), and then went to the pinnacle of life.

But just as he was praising his future, Dum, who has always been taciturn, poured cold water on him.

"You want to build another ecological circle, and then expect to control them yourself? Are you even urging the evolution process of these creatures? Then let them break out of the ground and wipe out the human civilized world?" Dum's eyes were cold. looked at the fanatical Reid.

"Don't you know how fragile the earth's ecological circle is? How do these fungi and arthropods in the water spread so quickly?" Dum frowned and saw the arthropods in the underground pool, which looked like a Hollywood movie A smaller version of the alien face-hugger, which makes people feel disgusting.

Doom really didn't know what Reed wanted to cultivate these things for, to create aliens? Could it be that Reed is actually a descendant of the Predator?

"Those that use spores to spread, they can only live underground now, and I'm trying to improve their survival adaptability." Dr. Reed said.

Dum said in an unreasonable tone: "Are you crazy? Improving the ability to survive and adapt to a group of new creatures who don't know the situation. This is like creating a super antibody for a super virus, so that this virus cannot be attacked by anyone. Antibiotics kill!"

"You are too pessimistic, Dum. Naturally, it is impossible for me to let these things go to the ground. I will control the range. This place is of profound significance to human scientific research. Their life forms are very special, and I have done research for a long time , I have found several birth-inducing agents, as long as we control them, we can observe the evolution process of a group of spores or fungal organisms for thousands or even tens of thousands of years in ten years! Do you understand what this means? We can create a Civilization!" Reed didn't like Doom because he made it impossible for him to stand out in front of Susan.

And Dum didn't back down on Reed's statement: "Do you know what everything you do? Do you think you can control everything but everything can be controlled by you? Do you think you are an omniscient god? This The place must be destroyed!"

Doom has made up his mind that this place cannot remain on Earth. (Tony: Well done, Doom, you did the right thing. Otherwise, if the young and energetic Reed really did this, we might have to carry Head & Shoulders shampoo to eliminate those mutant monsters.)

"Impossible! You are trying to destroy my hard work, this is the birthplace of my future Nobel Prize!" Reed also refused to give in.

And just when the two were about to break out, Susan stepped in at the right time and made an adjustment: "Okay, okay, gentlemen. Don't quarrel for now, okay? Especially you Dum, put your hand Take it back from the waist, I know you brought the life thing. Unless you want to kill Reed now, you'd better take it back!"

Susan's words made Dum twitch, and he slowly withdrew his hand. And Reed was also taken aback by Susan's words. He asked Susan, "What did you say Doom brought? A pistol?"

Susan took a look at Reed: "It's worse than that, a gadget developed by Dum himself. He showed me a high-temperature melt gun, which can shoot out heat rays at a maximum power of 11,500 degrees. As long as one With a gun, you can completely disappear from this world and truly return to the particle state."

"Hmph." Dum snorted coldly at Reed, but did not refute Susan's words. And Reed also temporarily turned off his melta because of Doom's attitude, especially his melta gun.

A group of three people exited the cave in a slightly awkward atmosphere. They camp out for the night, and Doom and Reed argue over whether to destroy the place.

Just when the two of them were arguing, a group of uninvited guests suddenly visited this unremarkable wilderness. First, a gloomy light flashed, and immediately after the light passed, a group of stumbling humanoid creatures appeared on the ground.

They look like the green goblins in fairy tales, but they are much stronger than green goblins. It is a creature between orcs and goblins in human legend.

They looked as if they had been severely injured, and they lay staggered on the ground for a long time without recovering. And when the first strong goblin stood up, he looked around the surrounding wilderness, and the only place with light in this wilderness (the camp of Reed and others).

He made a small gesture to the other goblins, and whispered, "There was a huge accident on this voyage. We're here to find new colonies suitable for Skrull. But it looks like there are For native civilizations, we need to figure out the strength of their civilizations and formulate our follow-up plans. Should we quietly withdraw from here, or conquer directly!"
