Chapter 884 Contact of the First Kind
The California wilderness is quiet at night, and the starry sky is twinkling. Except for some bison in the wild, there is only a group of gerbils that occasionally walk past the feet of the bison.
Reed came to the underground ecosystem again. The birth of this place was an accident. Reed first discovered it because he was tracking meteorites falling from the sky.
I discovered this place in the process of searching for meteorites, this fully enclosed and self-contained place. And the falling meteorite seems to contain some kind of microorganism, perhaps a kind of spore with super purification ability.
They quickly adapted to the environment here and began to thrive here. In the earliest days, only some single-celled organisms could be found here. But today, fungal organisms, aquatic arthropods, etc. have evolved here in just a few years.
How long did it take on Earth to evolve from paramecium to the first small fish? One million years or two million years? Reed shook his head, he was really reluctant to destroy this place.
The biological evolution here is fast, and I can really feel it. Maybe I can really see the supernatural evolution of a civilized ecological circle.
But today both Dum and Susan have been opposing the continuation of this ecosystem. Especially Dum, Reid said: "If it doesn't work, we will turn it over to the country!"
Dum snorted at this: "Hand it over to the country? Let a group of guys who react more slowly and consider politics more to manage this place? That would be an even more terrible disaster. Are you the man in black watching too much?" ? Or do you really think the government has a police detective codenamed [J]?"
Destroy this place, this is the best explanation for the earth. What if a group of species who don't know what the future will become will suddenly rush to the ground one day and compete with humans and the original sound creatures of the earth for the dominance of the earth. Then Reed, who started this evolutionary crisis, is the culprit.
Reid is not a person who does not listen to persuasion. In fact, he has just been hotter all these years. Blinded by the possible Nobel Prize in Biology.
However, in today's debate with Dum, Reid found that he seemed to have gotten into a dead end. He sighed, and then looked at the potions in his hands, one was a life-stimulating potion, and the other was a locking potion.
Even if you want to destroy this place, at least let me try the abilities of these potions. Fortunately, I have studied for so long. Reed had already made a decision, and he unsealed the birth potion.
………………………
Captain Skrull and his crew took advantage of the shape-shifting properties of the Skrulls to transform themselves into the native creatures here, some kind of small rodent (gerbil). Then followed Reed to the underground ecosystem.
This was an attempt to evolve the ecosystem in a semi-closed state, and the captain breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, it is understandable. It seems that although the civilization on this earth is very high, an ordinary student can conduct experiments on the evolution of the ecological circle, but it has not yet reached the state of a desperate god-level civilization.
It seems that the earth's civilization is still at the level of a first-level civilization in some scientific levels, but some technologies have also reached the level of the Skrulls. This is really a civilization that has developed by leaps and bounds! Captain Skrull made his own judgment, but it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong.
It should be said that the "Men in Black" that Susan screened seriously diverted the captain's thinking direction. He still thinks it is a documentary documentary.
However, even if it is only a semi-closed research on the evolution of the ecological circle, the captain feels that the civilization level of this planet is very high. Especially when their transformed gerbils were near the underground pool and they saw what appeared to be arthropods that looked like larvae of the Alien facehugger.
Those Skrulls were almost scared back to their original shape. The adjutant whispered to the captain in a trembling tone: "Alien...Alien! I saw it, I saw it! It's an alien larva!" (Note)
The captain was also taken aback: "How is that possible?! Shouldn't all these things be extinct? Obviously, the Nova Corps has wiped out all the aliens. Even if there are some remaining aliens, they will be expelled to the negative space to fight against the Zerg. It’s life and death, why are there these things here?!”
Aliens are famous in the universe. These things are hard to kill and can survive in a vacuum. The only purpose is to reproduce and kill. I don't know if this thing evolved naturally or was created by a mad scientist. But it has brought great harm to the universe for tens of thousands of years.
The Skrulls have all been made wanting to die by aliens. Several alien invasions and bug swarms almost disintegrated the empire. So although this is already a period of history, many Skrulls still have a hard time forgetting this period of history.
Especially the alien, which is a creature that must be learned in the study of Skrulls. And a shoot-to-kill order was issued, and any Skrull who saw the alien and its larvae was obliged to kill it. If there is no ability to kill, then report to the empire-army, and the army will go to encircle and suppress.
And what does the captain see on Earth now? The scientific design of a student's graduation defense actually raised aliens? The captain does not believe that people on earth do not know aliens, because this thing is very well-known in the universe. Since this civilization communicates with so many alien civilizations (misleading from the Men in Black movie) then they must know about Aliens. This one is listed as the most dangerous creature in the universe.
Knowing the danger of aliens, but also raising face huggers, what do these earth natives want to do? The captain suddenly felt that the earth was more dangerous than he imagined.
He hesitated a little, should he kill these three natives, and then replace their native identities and mix into life on earth? Anyway, he would never dare to let him become Reed and continue raising facehuggers. Raising this thing is almost like courting death.
Reed didn't know that his own little pet had already made a group of battle-hardened Skrulls tremble with fear. Of course, Reid also knew the aliens, but his knowledge came from big Hollywood movies.
The Alien series of movies is very popular on Earth, and it is a very good monster movie. But if there are aliens in the universe, and not just invented by the screenwriters, how did the people who conceived this monster know about aliens? This point is a bit of a mystery.
But Reid didn't know how complicated all this was, because he was about to start using the birth-boosting potion now. Dr. Reed put on protective clothing and a mask, and activated the fully closed door in the dark.
He turned the originally semi-enclosed space into a completely enclosed space. Reed stood outside the enclosed space and put the medicine into the vaporization device. Let the medicine vaporize and mix into the air in the closed space, so that the creatures inside can start to accelerate their evolution.
Originally turned into a gerbil, he wanted to come in and find out, especially Captain Skrull and his party who wanted to observe the living habits of these three indigenous people carefully, so that they could successfully replace them and continue to live after killing them.
They were just shivering with fear from the alien face-hugger, and they haven't recovered yet. Reed suddenly closed the place completely, without giving them any time to react.
Immediately after that was the injection of the birth-boosting potion. Adding a birthing potion here is like adding cold water to a pot of hot oil. In an instant, the entire ecosystem exploded. Some fungal plants began to change at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The facehugger-like arthropods in the water also began to become manic, and made squeaking noises.
The tentacles of the arthropods happened to be in the middle of this team of gerbils, and the gerbils transformed by these Skrulls instantly thought of the terrifying images of aliens in those historical documentaries, even the face-huggers are extremely ferocious.
They're now gerbils that are powerless against facehuggers. In this fright the first Skrull resumes his Skrull form. He pointed at these arthropods in horror and said, "Hold...face huggers! They're active! They're about to reach the adult stage, and they're about to reproduce!"
Fear of such things is contagious, and the first Skrull returned to form, followed by a second, a third, a fourth. Eventually none of the Skrulls could maintain their transformed form.
And Reed, who was standing outside the closed door and had been observing the internal situation through the small window, was suddenly stunned.
What's happening here? Is the effect of my birth-boosting potion so good? Now that these creatures have gone through hundreds of millions of years of evolution, have humanoids appeared? And they appear to be intelligent beings.
While Reid was in a daze, those humanoid creatures seemed to start to feel extremely uncomfortable inside the closed door, and they started scratching themselves crazily.
Reed continued to stand outside the closed door and stared at these humanoid creatures. He hadn't realized that he had already started contact of the first kind.
PS Note: Aliens and Zerg exist in the Marvel Universe itself, and there is no need to integrate other movie stories. In fact, Marvel itself is very diverse. Almost all the mainstream and non-mainstream two-dimensional cultures in Europe and America that you can think of are found in Marvel. Including werewolves, vampires, aliens, jurassic dinosaurs, aliens, kung fu masters, ninja culture and many more. Writing about Marvel does not need to integrate other movies or anything, it itself has all the necessary themes.
