A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"I have thalassophobia, and this is the limit that I can bear."

Upon hearing this, the chubby little black man and Peter let out deliberately suppressed laughter from the crowd. The other researchers accompanying the visit were also infected by the laughter and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cao Gui's lips twitched. Those two damn brats!

"Ahem...Alright, since that's the case, then this student can go back to the first floor to rest. That's our living area. Jennifer, you take them up there."

The female PhD student didn't take it seriously and instead named a female researcher with shoulder-length blonde hair.

“Okay.” The blonde girl nodded, though she looked displeased, she still said to Cao Gui, “Come with me.”

“If Cao isn’t going, then I won’t go either,” Gwen said, following Cao Gui’s side.

“Then I won’t go either,” Beth shrugged and said, moving closer to Cao Gui.

Cao Gui glanced at the chubby guy and Peter, snorted, and led the two girls, one in gold and one in black, into the elevator.

The chubby guy and Peter were dumbfounded, then their faces were full of envy. How could he have two girls following him like that?

Harry: "..."

Damn it! Last time there were three women and two men and he was all alone. This time there are three women and four men and he's still all alone. I'm never bringing Cao Gui out again. It's too much of a bully!

After watching Cao Gui and the other two leave, the female PhD student led the remaining students to the third underwater level. As soon as the elevator doors opened, the four students saw a dazzling array of experimental instruments.

The female doctor walked to the instrument and began to explain it step by step, but she did not notice that the researcher Natalie who had been with her had left. Apart from an old man who was already on the third level underwater, she was alone.

After the female PhD student finished explaining everything, Harry frowned and asked, "I've been listening the whole way, and the prospects are indeed good, but what about the experimental results? Could you show them to me?"

"We've already used up the shark brain fluid we extracted in the previous experiment... Okay, let's start the second extraction now."

As the female doctor was speaking, seeing Harry's increasingly displeased expression, she decisively decided to temporarily launch a second extraction plan.

Harry nodded, waiting for the experiment to begin. To be honest, he didn't want it to be like this either, but the Osborn Group was having some cash flow problems, and he had to deal with it seriously. If the desired results weren't achieved, he might submit an evaluation and prepare to withdraw his investment in the laboratory.

"Carter, get ready. Bring back shark number one. We need to conduct an experiment," the female doctor said, pressing the intercom and speaking to the man in red underwear who had been there earlier.

……

The first underwater level is the living area of ​​the test base.

This is the reception area, decorated like a luxurious living room. It's very spacious, with various snacks on display. There's also a piano not far away, and the wall in front is a huge bulletproof glass panel, one meter wide and more than two meters long.

Through the glass, you can see the ocean outside... underwater, of course.

The height of the first level is about 3 meters, which means that Cao Gui and the others are standing three meters below sea level.

Cao Gui stood in front of the glass, staring blankly at the surging seawater outside the window, lost in thought. He couldn't figure out where his unease came from.

Cao Gui could easily kill these few sharks, but he still felt uneasy.

“Cao…” Gwen came to Cao Gui’s side and put her arm around his arm: “If you have thalassophobia, then don’t look outside anymore, it will make you feel even worse.”

Beth also came to Cao Gui's side. Hearing Gwen's words, she snorted: "You believe such a thing? Think about when we went to Los Angeles before, what was he afraid of?"

Cao Gui shrugged: "I just feel a little uneasy, so I don't want to go down that deep into the water."

"I see..."

"Don't worry, it's only a level 7 wind, there won't be any problems," Beth said with a smile.

Looking out the glass window, Cao Gui fell silent for a moment; he hoped it would be the same.

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past the bulletproof glass window. It was very large and very fast. Before Cao Gui could see it clearly, it disappeared.

"Hmm?" Cao Gui frowned, slightly startled. The dark shadow he had just seen seemed to be about the same size as the largest shark he had seen before.

However, the underwater visibility was too low, and the distance was difficult to judge. Cao Gui couldn't be sure if it was that shark. If it was, that would be the best outcome, but if it wasn't... then there would be big trouble!

"Alright, let's not think about that anymore," Cao Gui said, pulling the two girls to the sofa. "Sit down, we can leave tomorrow."

"Huh? Where's that short-haired researcher from before?" Cao Gui asked, looking around in confusion.

"Maybe... they've gone back to the third level underwater."

"I don't know, he probably went to work."

The two girls spoke, one on the left and one on the right.

……

On the east side of the first underwater level, there is the bedroom of the short-haired girl, which also has a private bathroom.

She was sitting on the toilet, muttering to herself with a disdainful look:

"I have thalassophobia~ This is the limit of what I can tolerate~"

"Wow~ Jennifer, you're really unlucky to be singled out to entertain such a troublesome person."

"Shit, this person is like an annoying sardine, disgusting, hateful Chinese people. I hate tourists, and I hate Chinese tourists even more."

Cao Gui, who was in the reception room, had no idea that his simple request would be met with such disdain and hatred from the short-haired girl.

After talking for a while, she finally calmed down her negative emotions and reached for a tissue.

But then, the toilet suddenly shook.

"Huh?" The short-haired girl was slightly surprised. What was going on? Sharks couldn't possibly shake the base, and why was only the toilet vibrating?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her buttocks, and a sticky feeling sent to her brain.

"Shit!"

The short-haired girl jumped up from the toilet as if she had been electrocuted, but the next moment, she quickly sat back down... no, not sat back down, but was pulled back by something.

In the reflection of the bathroom mirror, she only caught a glimpse of a dark brown, columnar object in her panic.

"No...no no...help! Help me!"

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere!

The cries for help abruptly ceased.

The entire bathroom fell silent, with only the bloodstain on the large mirror telling the story of what had happened.

Chapter 127 Extreme Cold!

"Ok?"

Cao Gui suddenly stood up from the sofa, looking around with some surprise and uncertainty.

"Cao, what's wrong?" Gwen asked, puzzled.

"Did you feel the base shake just now?"

“No, I didn’t feel the vibration you mentioned,” Beth said.

Cao Gui frowned. He did indeed feel a slight vibration. Could it be his imagination?

Outside the window, the waves surged, and the raindrops pounded against the iron frame. The tropical depression mentioned on the radio had arrived.

Although Cao Gui couldn't see the sky, he could feel the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the weather.

At that moment, the yellow light on the elevator door suddenly turned on.

Harry, Peter, and the other three walked in, their faces pale and their expressions grim. Behind them, the female doctor and her companions carried a stretcher, looking flustered.

"What happened?" Cao Gui asked in a deep voice.

"The experiment was a success; shark forebrain proteins can indeed maintain the activity of human brain cells," Harry said.

"But then a problem arose; the shark suddenly became aggressive and bit off a researcher's arm."

"Oh my god...!" Beth covered her mouth in surprise.

“No wonder you all look like that,” Cao Gui said. Apart from Harry, the other three were all good kids who had never touched a gun or killed anyone. They were startled when they suddenly saw that scene.

“Let’s stay here quietly for now and wait for the storm to pass. We’ll fly back tomorrow,” Harry said in a low voice.

I hope everything goes well tonight!

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui's lips twitched. Damn it, this sentence sounds just like an old general on the stage, covered in flags.

"Did you bring your personal protective equipment?" Cao Gui asked.

“We brought it!” Gwenbeth, Harry, and the others said in unison.

The click-clack of the slides being cocked rang out, and all three Beretta pistols were loaded with bullets at the same time.

The chubby black man and Peter Holland were dumbfounded. Damn it, why are these three carrying pistols?

……

The second underwater level houses the laboratory.

Natalie emerged from the corner, calmly walked to the archives since no one was around, and after searching through them, finally found the research materials.

"Damn it, we finally found it!"

A look of delight flashed across Natalie's face as she took out a spy camera from her pocket and photographed all the documents.

Cao Gui guessed correctly. This researcher, Natalie, was none other than Black Widow, the famous agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Her purpose in coming here was naturally to obtain the information in front of her.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has a top-secret project called "Project Tahiti," which is a research project to resurrect the dead using Kree blood.

Nick Fury's purpose in focusing on brain cell activation research was to ensure that the brains of the dead agents were not truly dead.

Only in this way can the "Tahiti Project" be implemented.

Natasha was unclear about the specific purpose of the plan, but Nick Fury told her that the information was a preliminary plan for the "Tahiti Project," and without it, the "Tahiti Project" would be difficult to implement.

Actually, stealing this information wouldn't have been difficult for Natasha, but the problem was that Dr. McCallister, for some reason, insisted on recording the research data in paper form.

In addition, the process of stealing this data was always very difficult due to the constant flow of people in the laboratory. It wasn't until today, when the experiment went wrong, that Natasha was able to seize the opportunity and succeed in one fell swoop.

After doing all this, Natasha reset all the data, clapped her hands, and prepared to return to the next underwater level.

But then...

Boom!!

A huge explosion suddenly rang out overhead, and the entire experimental base began to shake violently.
