A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Okay, is there anything I need to prepare?" Cao Gui asked. Crossing North America would take quite a while, so he needed to be well prepared.

"Tents, personal belongings, and as for food, we'll buy some along the way. That's all we need to prepare," Harry said.

"I'll take care of preparing the car; you just need to prepare your own things."

"OK, no problem."

"Then it's settled. We'll set off together in three days."

……

Three days flew by. As soon as the exam was over, all the students threw down their books and ran out happily. The long period of studying had left these young people with a lot of energy that they couldn't release.

Now that I'm finally on vacation, I should definitely relax.

A Ford Raptor 150 pickup truck stopped in front of Cao Gui's apartment, and Cao Gui walked down with a suitcase and a tent bag.

"Huh? This car seems a little different," Cao Gui said in surprise.

This vehicle is noticeably larger than other Ford Raptor 150s, and its cargo bed is much shallower.

"Hehe, I had it remodeled. The body, horsepower, and carrying capacity have all been increased," Harry laughed.

Cao Gui: "..."

Evil capitalists!

The three girls got out of the car. Gwen was pretty with blonde hair, Beth was gorgeous with black hair, and Lucy looked a little domineering.

That's a joke. Although Lucy has a carefree personality, she's still quite pretty.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you, hurry up." Lucy said, chewing her gum with some dissatisfaction.

"Girl, don't you know it's very unladylike to talk while chewing gum?" Cao Gui rolled his eyes.

Lucy pursed her lips, but didn't kiss them, and obediently took the chewing gum away.

"Have you brought everything?"

“We brought tents, one for each person, but the girls brought a large one; they plan to share.” Harry said.

“We also brought drinking water.” This was Gwen.

“I brought some Wagyu beef, and it’s in the freezer in the car.” This is Beth.

Cao Gui silently marveled at the wealthy man.

Wait a minute. Where would a freezer come from in the car?

Seeing the confusion in Cao Gui's eyes, Lucy opened a hidden door in the truck bed, revealing the freezer inside.

Cao Gui: "..."

So you're all rich!

"Where's the gun? Did you bring it?"

"A gun?" 4

The five people were taken aback. Why bring this thing?

Seeing the five bewildered men, Cao Gui stared blankly and said, "Don't tell me you didn't bring a single gun?"

"..." 4

"You really didn't bring one!" Cao Gui was immediately furious. You're traveling in the US and you didn't even bring a gun? Are you really tired of living?

It's one thing for others, but why have Gwen and Lucy, the daughters of two police officers, forgotten about this?

It seems their parents have done a good job protecting them.

"Wait, I'll go buy you guns."

As he spoke, Cao Gui walked toward a gun shop by the roadside, leaving the four of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

It's not that they don't know how to use a gun; they just lack awareness of its use. In American society, those who don't know how to use a gun are extremely rare, comparable to the Virgos in the "Bitch Movement."

Before long, Cao Gui returned carrying several boxes.

"This is a Beretta 92F. Here, take it. One for each of you, three magazines each, forty-five rounds of ammunition." Cao Gui shoved it into their hands without saying a word.

Cao Gui did not choose the renowned Glock, because that gun has a double-action trigger and requires too much strength, making it unsuitable for girls. The Beretta 92F, on the other hand, is a hybrid single-action/double-action firearm, which is more suitable for girls with less finger strength than the Glock.

"Also, two M4s, a Winchester M1897, and I've put all the ammo in the truck bed."

The three women and one man were dumbfounded at the sight of so many weapons. Harry said speechlessly, "Damn, we're not in the Middle East or Africa. We don't need so many guns and bullets."

"Naive. The Middle East and Africa are nowhere near as dangerous as the US here," Cao Gui said dismissively, curling his lip.

"Alright, let's go, it's time to set off."

"Alright, let's go!"

Chapter 32 Xiongshan Road

A dark red Ford Raptor 150 pickup truck is speeding along a highway in the dense woods of West Virginia.

Inside the car, upbeat and cheerful drum music was playing.

Hey~~~Hey~~~

What's the matter with your head?

Yeah~

Hey~~~Hey~~~

What's the matter with your mind and your sign?

Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it

Come on and find it

Hell, with it, baby.

Come and get your love~~

That's right, this song is the super silly Star-Lord Happy Bro. Although it's silly, it doesn't affect its particularly cheerful atmosphere, making the five men and women in the car hum along involuntarily.

Cao Gui and his group had been driving for half a day, heading west from the steel jungle of New York. They could see with their own eyes that the skyscrapers were getting fewer and fewer, and the human settlements were getting smaller and smaller. In the end, it turned into a dense primeval forest.

That's why the US is said to be sparsely populated. It's one thing that such a great place isn't developed into real estate, but it's another that it doesn't grow vegetables or rice. It's a real waste of nature's resources.

I'm so angry!

"Hey guys, why are you going to Los Angeles?" Cao Gui asked, glancing at the three girls humming a tune in the back seat from the passenger seat.

“I’m going to Kim’s birthday party, about a month from now,” Gwen said.

"I'm going to see my mother." That's Lucy.

"Your mom is in Los Angeles?" Harry was a little surprised. Lucy's dad was always offline, so shouldn't you be in Los Angeles?

“I know that,” Cao Gui said. “Zhongfu Building, right?”

"Bullshit! Don't mention this!" Lucy said, clearly annoyed.

"Huh?" Beth looked puzzled. What happened to Zhongfu Building?

"Haha, let's not talk about that, Beth." Cao Gui changed the subject: "Beth, what about you? What are you going to Los Angeles for? To join the LAPD?"

“No, I’m picking up a friend and then we’re going to Rome.” Beth looked a little confused. “I’m not a police academy student, why would you think I’m going to join the LAPD?”

"Haha, it's nothing." Cao Gui felt a little regretful. If you really joined LAPD, then my little succubus would be just around the corner!

"Harry, what are you doing in Los Angeles again?"

“My dad asked me to take over the Los Angeles branch so I could gain experience and eventually take over the company from him.”

Cao Gui: "..."

Evil capitalists!

"Don't talk about us, Cao, what are you doing in Los Angeles?" Gwen asked with a smile.

“Let’s go have some fun,” Cao Gui said. “Think about it, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and San Fernando… cough cough, no, I’m not interested in that place.”

However, at this moment, a large truck suddenly stopped on the road ahead, motionless, with a series of cars parked in front of it.

Cao Gui frowned. Was there a traffic jam?

That shouldn't be the case. It's not like it's a highway. How could there be a traffic jam in this vast forest with no village or shop in sight?

Harry drove his vehicle slowly to a stop behind the truck. There wasn't much traffic here, and they were always the last one.

Looks like there's a traffic jam.

Should we wait?

"You decide."

"Then let's wait, it shouldn't take long."

However, after waiting for about ten minutes, the vehicles ahead still didn't move. After thinking for a moment, Cao Gui said, "I'll go check the situation. Does anyone want to come with me?"

Harry glanced at the three girls in the back seat and then said, "I'll go with you."

“No!” Cao Gui shook his head: “At least one of us two and a half men must stay in the car.”

"Two and a half?" Harry looked at the three girls. "Who's the half?"

“I’ll have one, Lucy will have one, and Harry, you’re half,” Cao Gui said with a grin.

“BULLSHIT!” Lucy gave Cao Gui the middle finger.

Harry followed Lucy's lead and gave her the middle finger, which made the other two girls burst into laughter.

Cao Gui glanced at Beth by the window and said, "Beth, come with me."

“OK.” Beth didn’t refuse. She couldn’t very well let Gwen, who was sitting in the middle, go, could she?

"Oh, and remember to bring your gun," Cao Gui added.

"Damn, we're just asking about road conditions, not robbing anyone. There's no need for this," Beth complained helplessly.

"No, you must bring a pistol."
