A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

To Cao Gui's astonishment, even with such severe injuries, the giant octopus was still alive.

After letting out a mournful cry, it quickly entered the sea and disappeared completely in a short while.

Watching the giant octopus escape, Cao Gui slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Despite his casual tone, performing the Six Styles in water and performing them in the air are two completely different things.

This ordeal took a toll on Cao Gui's physical strength.

Ding!

[The host has defeated the sea monster Ottowa, completing a "Protect the Territory and Protect the People" mission. Reward: 5000 Merit Points, 3000 Experience Points.]

Cao Gui dived into the water and collected all the spent bullet casings from his shots. He could ignore everything else, but these high-powered bullets were too conspicuous, so he had to be careful.

After finishing all that, Cao Gui wanted to deal with the other mutated sharks. There were three mutated sharks in the original story. He killed one, but then saw the remains of another one, which had also been eaten by the sea monster Ovato.

They found Gwen and her friends, and saw the giant mutated shark with its head blown off, realizing that Gwen and her friends had killed it.

Now that all three sharks were dead, he no longer needed to exert himself.

Cao Gui led everyone back to the surface. Harry contacted the Osborn Group via satellite phone. Half an hour later, a plane appeared, bringing a group of people to clean up the mess and also to pick up Cao Gui and his group of seven.

Somewhere on the high seas.

The seawater surged, and a small submarine surfaced. Researcher Natalie opened the hatch and stood on the submarine.

At that moment, a Quinjet appeared silently overhead, lowered a rope, and pulled her up.

"Natasha, is the mission complete?" a deep voice asked.

"Chief?" Natasha looked at the one-eyed, burly, dark-skinned man in front of her in surprise: "What brings you here?"

“This concerns Project Tahiti, so I must be careful,” Nick Fury said. “Where’s the mission data?”

“Here it is.” Natasha pulled out a spy camera and tossed it to Nick Fury.

“…Tell me what happened.” Nick Fury looked at the somewhat tired Natasha and said slowly.

Chapter 130 Osborne's Crisis

“So much has happened…” Nick Fury stroked his chin, a flicker of light in his single eye.

“That information is a serious blow to Osborn!” Nick Fury tossed the spy camera in his hand and dialed a number:

"Hill, get ready. We're going to short our Osborne Group stock during this period."

"Chief, I don't understand?"

“We have something that’s bad for Osborn, so we can make a quick buck,” Nick Fury chuckled.

"Yes, I understand."

……

On the helicopter.

Gwen and Beth leaned on Cao Gui's shoulder and slept quietly. Compared to their excitement on the way there, the atmosphere in the cabin was now somewhat heavy.

According to Harry, everything else was left to the Osborn Group to handle, and they would not be involved. In return, the seven students, including Cao Gui, remained silent on the matter.

But at this moment, Harry's face was grim. The laboratory was completely gone. Not only were the research data lost, but the project leader had also died. All the initial investment had gone down the drain.

Cao Gui, with his arm around Gwen's waist and his eyes slightly closed, mentally called upon the system:

"System, exchange for Navy Six Style: Finger Pistol!"

[The host has spent 1 merit points to exchange for the Navy's Sixth Style Finger Pistol. Please confirm the exchange.]

"confirm!"

Cao Gui remained expressionless, silently enduring the flood of memories pouring into his mind.

Before Cao Gui figured out the long-range attack skill of the Flying Finger Pistol, the Finger Pistol's role for him was mainly to enhance his close-combat ability.

To be honest, the reason why Cao Gui has never exchanged for the Finger Gun is this: Cao Gui can use pistols, rifles, or even heavy machine guns for long-range attacks, while he can use a knife for close-range attacks.

The finger gun's function has become somewhat redundant, but Cao Gui wants to quickly master the three techniques of Moon Step, Tempest Kick, and Finger Gun, and then start thinking about how to learn Life Return.

Time passed slowly, and Cao Gui continued to practice the three new moves and six techniques he had just acquired. Before he knew it, a week had gone by.

Inside a laboratory in the Osborne Building.

"The vaporization energy enhancer is ready!"

"The experimental subject's vital signs are all normal."

"The experimental equipment has been checked and no problems were found."

“Norman, we can begin.” A middle-aged man with a receding hairline and wearing a white lab coat nodded to Norman Osborn.

“Let’s begin, Dr. Storm.” The old Green Goblin, who hadn’t yet become the Green Goblin, nodded.

The middle-aged, Mediterranean-looking PhD nodded, made a few operations on the computer, and a layer of green mist slowly emerged from the experimental chamber, gently enveloping the laboratory mice inside.

"Beep beep!"

"The test subject's heart rate has surged!"

"The experimental subjects are experiencing a surge in various hormones!" several researchers exclaimed.

The old Green Goblin was expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuations, and revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

Inside the experimental chamber, the green smoke slowly dissipated, but the white mouse had grown larger and stronger than before!

"Quickly, test it!" said the middle-aged, Mediterranean-looking doctor.

The other researchers acted quickly, taking out a large number of instruments to begin testing the laboratory mice.

After a long pause, the middle-aged, Mediterranean-looking doctor announced loudly, "Norman, for now, the performance-enhancing drug is a success!"

Upon hearing this, the old Green Goblin couldn't help but show a look of delight: "Well done, Dr. Storm."

“Norman, I think we should observe the test subject and see if there are any other side effects,” the middle-aged Mediterranean doctor said.

“Okay, then I’ll accompany you to observe.” Old Green Goblin smiled. The two of them were friends who had come together, and Old Green Goblin didn’t mind spending some time with his old friend.

Seeing this, the other researchers left the lab, leaving the space to the two big shots.

Time passed slowly, and an hour went by. Apart from normal walking and teeth grinding, the experimental mice did not show any abnormalities... Of course, they ate a little more than before.

"It looks like it's very stable after the experiment," Norman said slowly, looking at the white mice in the box.

On the other side, the middle-aged Mediterranean PhD was flipping through a yellowed sheet of paper.

“Norman, judging from the data, we have indeed replicated Dr. Erskine’s Super Soldier Serum, and even simplified the steps involved…”

“In that case, there’s no need to worry.” Old Green Goblin patted the middle-aged Mediterranean doctor on the shoulder and laughed, seeing his hesitant expression.

"Put it back where it is, and leave the rest to the camera. We'll just watch it on time."

“Alright,” the middle-aged Mediterranean doctor nodded, marked the mice, and then put them back into the group of mice.

“Let’s go, Dr. Storm, it’s time to go home…” Norman said with a smile, but at that moment, a strange noise came from behind.

The two turned their heads and saw that the experimental mouse had started to bite the other mice. Being stronger than the other mice, it killed all the mice in the box in just a few moments.

Inside the transparent glass box, a bloodstain was blurred, and the limbs and internal organs of the white mouse were scattered everywhere.

It's obvious that there's something wrong with their experiment!

"Damn it, only two weeks left. If we don't succeed soon, the military will withdraw its funding..." Norman muttered to himself, his refined face turning ashen.

Harry waited for his father to return at the villa, only to find that his father looked haggard and had bloodshot eyes.

"Father, is there a problem with the company?" Harry asked softly.

"No, no, you're overthinking it," the old Green Goblin said with a forced smile, trying to comfort him.

Harry didn't say much, but turned the laptop towards him. On the screen, his own company's stock plummeted. The matter of the ocean laboratory had been exposed, but not much information was revealed.

A large number of animal rights organizations are pointing the finger at the Osborne Group for disrupting the ecological balance and abusing wildlife for experiments.

Osborne's cash flow was already in trouble, and now it's even more difficult.

"Don't worry, with the military's support, we'll get through this," Norman said with a smile.

……

New Jersey villa.

After taking a shower, Cao Gui lay down on the bed and turned on the computer. Gwen had gone home today, and Cao Gui was left alone in the empty room.

He originally wanted to go find Beth, but it was already late when he finished his training, so he gave up the idea.

After logging into the FBI database, Cao Gui pondered for a moment and entered the name "Benjamin".

If I remember correctly, that's the name of the Ghost Rider who went treasure hunting. Cao Gui stroked his chin. Although he had forgotten the plot, he had watched the movie in class, and the teacher had explained that the protagonist's name was the same as the name of the person on the hundred-dollar bill.

Cao Gui has remembered this simple piece of knowledge since junior high school.

Ding dong ding dong~

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow, got out of bed, and went to open the door. He wanted to see who would be visiting so late at night.

However, when they opened the door, it turned out to be Beth.

Wearing a blue fitted business suit and black stockings over her slender legs, Cao Gui's eyes lit up immediately, and he was filled with respect.

"Did you miss me?" Beth chuckled softly, stroking Cao Gui's face: "You bad boy..."

"Think about it!"

How much do you want to?

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough!" Cao Gui chuckled and picked her up.

———————————Clear ripples reveal silken shadows, sitting long reveals the tortoise's nature———————————

……

"You bastard, don't you know how to come find me?" Beth blushed and bit Cao Gui angrily.

"Hmm... I was just about to come find you..." Cao Gui said softly, squinting his eyes, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the moment.
