A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

In the early morning, the bright sunlight shines into the mountains and forests, and the morning breeze gently blows, causing the leaves to rustle.

Chirp chirp chirp~

"Hmm~?"

"What is that?" Cao Gui felt something moving above his head before he even opened his eyes. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a small bird.

When the bird saw Cao Gui open his eyes, it was startled and quickly flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"What's wrong?" Gwen rubbed her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked sleepily.

She shifted her body somewhat uncomfortably; having slept in cobwebs all night, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's dawn, time to get up," Cao Gui said with a smile.

"Ugh, you sleep in the spider web, so I can't even stay in bed." Gwen was a bit grumpy when she woke up, and pinched Cao Gui in annoyance before quickly getting dressed.

Cao Gui shrugged, picked up Gwen and returned to the ground, quickly tidied up the camp, and then went back to his Ford Raptor 150 pickup truck.

"Cao, come and take a look, something's not right here!" Gwen suddenly called out, her tone very serious, as if she had seen something.

Cao Gui's heart sank, and he quickly went to Gwen's side.

There was a huge footprint there. Cao Gui made a quick visual estimate and realized that even with their pickup truck's tires laid flat, they couldn't completely cover the footprint.

Moreover, not far to the left front, there is another footprint, which looks like some kind of giant creature.

“What are these footprints?” Gwen asked in a low voice.

"It should be the footprint of a canine," Cao Gui said. Claw marks could be seen on it; felines only extend their claws during combat.

“I know that,” Gwen said. She was a top student, so of course she knew that, but she couldn’t imagine that canine creatures could be that big.

It is even greater than hatred.

"I don't know exactly what it is either." Cao Gui gently touched the ground under the claw marks. The soil on it was very firm, so it must have been some kind of giant creature.

"So Gwen, should we go back now, or go check out this giant creature?" Cao Gui asked.

“You’re my boyfriend, you decide,” Gwen said irritably, acting like a man who wasn’t manly at all.

Cao Gui glanced at her and asked, "Girl, are you sure?"

Gwen: "..."

She retracted her earlier veiled criticism.

“Come on, let’s go see this giant creature.” Cao Gui pulled Gwen into the Ford pickup truck and began to move forward following the direction of the footprints.

The system notification I received a few days ago when I sold the Bean Fruit was quite interesting:

[Convert these into Merit Points; contributing special or valuable items will earn you Merit Points.]

The key point is in the second half of the sentence: contributing special or valuable items can earn merit points.

Cao Gui wondered if the corpse of this giant creature counted as a special or precious item, and also if the two ancient Egyptian dark books and the Sun Bible in his personal space counted.

If that's the case, then Cao is the one who unlocks a new way to play the system.

……

Inside a building in northwest Manhattan, New York.

"A bunch of idiots, trash, useless garbage!"

A white man was repeatedly hitting a model in the office with a baseball bat.

"Have you smashed enough?" A brown-haired woman walked into the office and asked casually.

“Krell, we’ve lost billions of dollars,” the man said urgently.

"In fact, it's not billions, but tens of billions."

But the woman named Claire remained unhurried, gave a simple reply, and then walked to a huge screen wall.

"Oh, right, including the model you just destroyed, that thing was worth twenty thousand dollars."

“Hey! Claire, I’m not kidding.” The man hurriedly chased after him: “Our stock must have plummeted, it must have plummeted even more than when our partner Sykes Enterprises ran into trouble.”

“You guessed right,” Kleer said. “Twenty percent, the lowest point in history.”

"Then why are you still so calm?" the man asked, puzzled.

“Bredden, you’re an adult now. Please calm down. Things will be resolved.” Claire said without thinking. His younger brother was really too much of a worry.

"OK, OK, tell me, what should we do?" Braden said impatiently.

“The Rampage Plan has been successful. Now you know why we’re not worried at all?” Claire laughed.

“I don’t know, because Project Rampage has already exploded in space,” Braden said. “The space station we secretly built with the military is destroyed, and even if there were any results, we wouldn’t be able to use them.”

“Actually…no.” Claire chuckled, taking out a remote and turning on a video:

“Our researchers have escaped from the space station, and they escaped with the samples.”

"Although the escape pod exploded, don't forget that we had a contingency plan."

Breden's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, I remember now. The container we designed is made of aerospace materials. It's very difficult to damage and can be brought back from outer space."

“So, don’t panic, don’t be alarmed,” Claire said.

“I’ve got a report from the Meteor Society. Three more meteors entered Earth’s orbit last night, the closest one being in eastern Pennsylvania.”

"Now, those who are waiting quietly for us will retrieve the items."

“OK, no problem.” But Brighton’s expression didn’t seem too relaxed:

“But, dear sister, you should know that our research project is not for the benefit of mankind; we are researching a weapon.”

“I’m still worried because of the Fifth Avenue monster incident from a few days ago.”

"Don't worry," Claire said confidently with a smile. "As long as the benefits are enough, no one can do anything to us."

"Get to work, you go and handle the media."

"Ok."

……

In Pennsylvania, Cao Gui and Gwen drove their pickup truck and soon entered Pennsylvania.

“These footprints are so strange…” Gwen, sitting in the passenger seat with a laptop on her lap, frowned and said, puzzled.

"Why would this thing travel all the way to New Jersey and then come back?"

"I don't know." Cao Gui suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.

"What's wrong?" Gwen looked at Cao Gui with a puzzled expression.

Cao Gui didn't say anything, pushed open the door and got out of the car, squatting down in a spot where there was a dark red stain.

"This is...blood?" Gwen's tone changed abruptly; this giant creature had killed someone.

"It should be." Cao Gui took out a tissue, dabbed some blood on it, and held it under his nose to sniff. The strong smell of blood immediately hit his nostrils.

"It's human blood!" Cao Gui said in a deep voice, realizing the situation was quite serious.

Gwen's expression changed, and she went back to the car to get her laptop, quickly pulling up a map of the area.

“Damn, this is deep in the Appalachian Mountains, there are no human settlements here,” Gwen said in a deep voice.

Cao Gui's brows furrowed. Could it be that this thing went to New Jersey just to eat people?

"Gwen, check if there are any casualties in New Jersey..." Cao Guizheng was speaking, but before he could finish, the hum of a helicopter rotor could be heard in the distance.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly returned to the car. Although they didn't know what was going on, they were certain that the helicopter at this time was not a friendly visitor.

Chapter 242 Berserk Wolf Monster

buzz~

A small drone flew out of the sunroof of the Ford Raptor 150, slowly gaining altitude, and soon emerged from the dense, sunless jungle.

"Cao, I see it. It's a Black Hawk helicopter." Gwen operated the computer, zooming in on the footage transmitted by the drone.

The sun had already risen, and the forest was shrouded in mist in the early morning. In the scene, a Black Hawk helicopter could be seen in and out of sight.

This helicopter combines the functions of an attack helicopter and a transport helicopter, capable of transporting personnel while also possessing the attack firepower of an attack helicopter.

Cao Gui frowned slightly. It seemed that this armed helicopter was likely there for that giant creature.

"Cao, there are no markings on this helicopter."

Gwen was about to adjust the focus to zoom in, but the helicopter in the picture was moving very fast and appeared clearly in the picture in the blink of an eye.

"It seems to be a private armed force, the kind of mercenaries," Cao Gui quickly concluded.

Gwen frowned. A private armed force that could afford to use Black Hawk helicopters was definitely a capability only a large, powerful corporation could possess.

"Damn big companies, they're so annoying..."

But before he could finish speaking, the computer screen suddenly turned into static, and then two gunshots echoed through the jungle.

"Ow~"

Immediately afterwards, another faint wail was heard.

"Headquarters, Rampage One hit." A bearded man grinned from the helicopter, quite pleased with his marksmanship.

"Boss, I just saw a drone, and I've already shot it down," a skinny black man with a mohawk said with a strange laugh.

"Damn it, I finally spotted a target, and you snatched it away!" another person complained.

"Looks like there are still people in this forest," the bearded man said in a deep voice.

"Burke, don't let anyone know about this," a voice came through the headset.

"Received, headquarters," the bearded man chuckled, exchanging glances with his companions, his excitement growing.

"Hehe, boss, it's been a long time since we've had any real fun," the skinny black man chuckled. Since becoming a private armed force, they had been doing security work and hadn't killed anyone in a long time.

"Don't forget our mission; catching the wolves is the most important thing." The bearded man emphasized the purpose of the trip again, but did not object to his subordinates' ideas.

"Go down there, catch the wolves!"
