A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui's voice came through the walkie-talkie, instantly energizing the four injured men.

"Lucy, you should treat your wound first."

"The rest of you, keep fighting. I'll cover you from here."

Upon hearing Cao Gui's words, Lucy shrank to the middle of the three, picked up the medical kit to treat her wounds, and Gwen and the other two continued shooting.

shhhhhh!

Three white flares shot into the night sky, illuminating the dark forest. Instantly, without the protection of the night, the monsters that had surrounded Gwen and her companions had nowhere to hide.

Cao Gui put away the flare launcher, picked up his flintlock pistol, and fired three shots, taking the lives of the two monsters.

Cao Gui frowned slightly and fired again.

Meanwhile, Gwen and her companions opened fire continuously, reaping the lives of a wave of these monsters.

"Awooo... Roar~~"

Faced with the three fiery hedgehogs, Gwen and her companions, and Cao Gui roaming the outer perimeter, relentlessly hunting, the monsters, sensing the danger, began leaping and darting among the trees, preparing to return to their cave.

"Disgusting monster, only now thinking of running away?"

Upon seeing this, Lucy, who had just finished bandaging her wound, flew into a rage and grabbed a Winchester M1897, emptying its magazine.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Five shotgun shells were fired, and several more monsters were killed.

On the other side, Cao Gui held his flintlock pistol, aiming at the burly monster that could emit sonic attacks. Although Cao Gui hadn't been able to kill it with one shot, he had injured its mouth, and the monster had lost its ability to launch sonic attacks.

boom!

Smoke billowed up, lead pellets whistled out, and the monster, which was about to leap from one tree to another, suddenly twisted its neck and fell headfirst.

"Yahoohoohoo—!"

Now, all the monsters have lost their leader, just as a wolf pack has lost its alpha wolf and a flock of sheep has lost its leader.

Already driven to flee in terror, they instantly became headless flies, darting aimlessly through the jungle. Meanwhile, the disorganized monsters had several more of their companions killed by Gwen and her companions.

Finally, about ten monsters escaped.

Hey~

[The host has eliminated the genetically mutated cannibal, completing a "Protect the Territory and Protect the People" mission. Contribution rate: 32%. Reward: 748 Merit Points, 374 Experience Points]

Hey~

【Justice Naval System (Supporting Every Naval Soldier with a righteous heart)】

[Soldier's Name: Cao Gui (Naval Corporal)]

[Merit Points: 25115; Experience Points: 15080/50000]

[Taoist Power Value: 102 (A standard reflecting combat power, not a factor determining combat power)]

Upon hearing the notification in his mind, Cao Gui was taken aback. Was this considered eliminated? Weren't there still more than ten left?

Could it be that these monsters lack the ability to reproduce and instead rely on obelisks?

Cao Gui frowned. It was possible, but the possibility was very small. The obelisk should not have such a function, but it was also possible that he was unaware of it.

After pondering for a moment without finding a solution, Cao Gui simply gave up and put away his flintlock pistol to meet up with Gwen and the others.

However, upon closer inspection, the area around the camp was in complete disarray, with spent shell casings and monster corpses scattered all over the ground. The five men looked at each other speechlessly and could only silently clean up the battlefield.

They swept up the spent cartridges, collected them all, and dragged the monster's corpse all the way to the cave, throwing T-Bag's body in as well. Since it was already dead, they figured they might as well bury it together.

Cao Gui searched for a long time, but unfortunately he still couldn't find the woman who had made the sound. Either the woman had already escaped, or... she was already dead, and the sound was made by the monster that was good at sonic attacks.

After searching for a long time without finding anything, Cao Gui had no choice but to give up. By the time he finished, it was already past 3 a.m.

"Damn it, I'm never coming to the forest again," Beth said wearily, sticking out her tongue. "The forest is so unfriendly."

Around the campfire, the five people sat in a circle. Having been busy all this time, they had no intention of resting. They just wanted to wait for dawn and then leave this place as soon as possible.

"What's the next step?" Cao Gui asked. "Do we still need to visit the scenic spots along the way?"

“I’m not going!” Harry said firmly. “I hate the forest, and I’m never going to the forest again.”

"Yes, Harry is right."

Lucy, who was standing nearby, exclaimed that her injuries were not serious; she had only been bitten. The only thing she needed to worry about was whether the monster was carrying a virus. Therefore, Cao Gui gave her a rabies vaccine shot in case of any accidents.

"Shall we go straight to Los Angeles?" Cao Gui asked.

"How about we go to Utah first?" Beth suggested.

"Didn't that pervert say that the legendary thief DB Cooper's treasure is buried in Utah? Let's go treasure hunting, it sounds interesting, what do you guys think?"

"The forest?"

Gwen nestled in Cao Gui's arms, involuntarily shrinking back. She now felt a strange fear of the forest.

“No, that’s not it,” Cao Gui continued. “That pervert said that DB Cooper’s treasure is buried in a cellar in a place called KK Farm in Tull, Utah.”

At this point, Cao Gui stroked his chin. "Speaking of which, isn't Marvel's DB Cooper Loki?"

A devilishly handsome face flashed through Cao Gui's mind. He had to admit, Loki was half as handsome as him.

“If it’s not a forest, I’ll be fine,” Gwen said. After all, it’s a farm, so there shouldn’t be any cannibals or anything like that.

"Then I agree."

Lucy said that although they hated the forest, there was no need to rush to Los Angeles. Originally, they planned to arrive in Los Angeles in a month, so there was no rush.

Besides, it's a farm with so many people, there shouldn't be any more monsters there.

“OK, let’s go to Utah then,” Cao Gui said.

Having set their next goal, the group gradually fell silent. Cao Gui held Gwen in his arms, and Gwen rested her head on Cao Gui's shoulder, squinting her eyes. The two snuggled together, enjoying the peace that the other brought them.

Seeing the two people acting as if no one else was around, Lucy was speechless with indignation and then snuggled into Beth's arms.

She's injured and needs someone to rely on.

On the other side, Harry stared blankly at the four people in pairs, sighed, and decided that on his next trip, he would never bring an odd number of people again, but only an even number, so that he wouldn't be alone again.

Nothing in the night

……

As dawn broke, the sun gradually rose in the east, a red sun slowly leaping from the horizon, and the sunlight began to shine on the earth. All the gloom of last night seemed to disappear with the rising sun.

Highway 80, stretching from New Jersey in the east to San Francisco in the west, is the second longest highway in the United States. A dark red Ford Raptor 150 is driving on this famous highway.

Cao Gui and his group had already left Illinois and were driving on Kansas soil.

As they traveled westward, the vast forests of Illinois began to thin out, and by the time they reached Kansas, they had become sparse shrubs and desert.

Seeing the long-lost horizon, even Cao Gui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Indeed, forests are the most annoying thing. Although I have earned several thousand merit points and experience points, I still don't like forests.

whoosh-

Just then, a car sped past Cao Gui and his group. Out of the corner of his eye, Cao Gui caught a glimpse of the person driving the car.

He was a burly Black man wearing sunglasses, with a cool expression; in today's terms, he was a bit pretentious.

However, this guy was driving a car and also carrying a long knife on his back.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow; this look was very familiar.

If I remember correctly... it should be Blade Warrior!

Perhaps sensing Cao Gui's gaze, the other person tilted his head slightly, glanced at Cao Gui indifferently, and then stepped on the gas and sped away.

However, at that moment, another car sped by, and in the driver's seat sat a bald man with strange markings on his forehead. Those markings... looked like a target.

The man also sensed Cao Gui's gaze, grinned at Cao Gui, and then floored the accelerator and sped away.

Inside the Ford, Cao Gui narrowed his eyes and tensed up. Good heavens, it was Bullseye!

Chapter 46 Searching for KK Farm

Time flew by, and five days later, Cao Gui and his group of five arrived in Tull, Utah.

"Damn, I can't find where KK Farm is."

In the passenger seat, Harry held his laptop, constantly searching and clicking, but he couldn't find their target.

With a screech, Cao Gui slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop. He frowned slightly: "You really can't find it?"

That shouldn't be the case; the FBI's database should have records of all administrative units across the country.

"Yes."

The three girls leaned out of the back seat to check, but the computer screen displayed a string of words, none of which mentioned KK Farm.

"Damn it, did that pervert lie to us?" Lucy gritted her teeth, clearly annoyed.

The money isn't important, after all, it's only five million. The person isn't important either, since he's already dead. But the process of finding the money is very important.

"Don't rush," Cao Gui said. "Gwen, check the information on those fugitives."

“OK.” Gwen picked up Cao Gui’s phone and started operating it. In no time, she found the information and whereabouts of the eight prisoners who had escaped from Fox River.

Of the eight fugitives, besides T-Bag who was already dead, a fugitive named John Abrus was killed by the FBI, and a mental patient named Charles died a violent death, stabbed through the chest and head with several specially made knives, his death was gruesome.

The others all went back to their own homes and then disappeared again. The last time they appeared, they were either in Kansas or Colorado, and like Cao Gui and the others, they were close to Utah.

It was obvious that Cao Gui and his group were one step ahead of the fugitives.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that T-Bag tricked Cao Gui and the others.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Gui rolled down the car window and called out to an elderly man passing by:

"Hey sir, I have a question for you."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Please speak."

Do you know how to get to KK Farm in Tule Town?

"KK Farm?" The old man was taken aback. "This is Tule Town, but I don't know where KK Farm is."

Cao Gui frowned: "Sir, how long have you lived here?"
