A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui glanced at her. There were nine people on the ship, representing three parties. Besides himself and Jin Song's deputy, the rest were people from the same company.

The boss is Black, the PhD is white, there's a Latina investor, a round-headed Black technician, and an Asian doctor. The blonde woman standing in front of Cao Gui is the white PhD's assistant.

It seems I've stumbled upon the main characters by chance, but that's not a good thing.

Ghost movies don't go unnoticed, and disasters don't go in groups. Cao Gui doesn't want to go in groups at all. Even if he won't be dragged to death by them, he'll still be annoyed and miserable by them.

Hmm... I'll find a chance to slip away.

"I'm a photographer. I heard there are monsters here, so I'm planning to take some pictures."

Cao Gui pulled out a camera from behind his back and waved it around. It contained many beautiful photos of Catherine, taken during Cao Gui and Catherine's three days in Indonesia.

Hmm... Gwen absolutely cannot see this camera, or I'll be finished.

"A monster?"

"How did you hide such a big camera? And how did you take it out?" the blonde assistant asked, puzzled. Her attention was focused on Cao Gui's backside. The blonde girl looked completely bewildered.

On the other side, the white doctor took out a map, pointed to a place on it, and said:

"Guys, this is the place where the adventure team discovered the Blood Orchid last time, the Satan Basin. Just follow the river and you'll get to the Satan Basin in no time."

Jin Song shrugged: "You're right, but the problem is, it's the rainy season now, and the river is fraught with danger. We have to change course at any time."

“You said you would get us there safely,” the Latina investor said, frowning.

Jin Song shrugged: "Madam, safety doesn't mean speed. Acting recklessly can be dangerous. There are many alligators, vipers, various leeches, parasites, and man-eating catfish in this river."

"Believe me, none of the rivers here are good places to swim."

Upon hearing Jin Song's words, the Latina girl immediately got goosebumps and shut up in fright.

“Don’t worry,” said the Black technician sitting to the side.

"I have combined weather models and satellite maps from the past week to find the fastest route. Here is the map."

As he spoke, he showed the computer screen to everyone.

With a click, Cao Gui took a picture with his camera. He did have a map, but not such a clear satellite map.

"Would you mind if I took a picture?" Cao Gui asked with a smile.

"You've already taken the photos, and without our permission," the Black owner said, clearly displeased.

The others didn't pay much attention. In their view, the blood orchid was just a flower. Although it was magical, its specific uses still needed to be studied, and it wouldn't be of much use to others if they took it.

Cao Gui chuckled and silently studied the map in his hand, which was much clearer than the Brotherhood map in his hand.

After glancing at the group, I successfully turned back into the cabin, put on my wetsuit, and now... it's almost time to leave.

Suddenly, the ship lurched, and the buzzing engine noise stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong? What happened?" the Latina investor exclaimed.

"Damn it, the engine's stopped!" Jin Song yelled. "We've lost power!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the small, dilapidated boat suddenly increased its speed instead of decreasing!

"Damn it! We've run into turbulence!"

"Oh shit! Turn right, there's a cliff 250 meters ahead!"

Inside the cabin, Cao Gui glanced at them, put on his diving goggles, and jumped into the water.

He is now wearing a special full-body protective diving suit, which is impenetrable to anything in the river except crocodiles.

With a splash, Cao Gui dived into the river, swam straight towards his destination, the Satan Basin.

However, the old, dilapidated boat of Jin Song was swept away by the current and fell off the cliff, crashing into the waterfall below. The old boat was instantly destroyed, and all the equipment was washed away by the water. Fortunately, no one was injured.

These people dared not linger in the water and quickly swam ashore.

On the other side, Cao Gui was swimming quickly in the river, but suddenly, a chill came from behind him. Cao Gui was startled and kicked his legs, swinging rapidly.

The swimming speed suddenly increased, but when he looked back, he saw a pair of yellow beast eyes in the murky river water. Cao Gui's eyes suddenly shrank, and he realized it was a crocodile!

It opened its mouth wide and lunged at Cao Gui again. If Cao Gui was bitten, he would be thrown into a death tumble. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Damn!

Cao Gui's eyes turned cold, and he instantly turned around, a dagger in his hand.

In the water, Cao Gui is no faster than a crocodile, and his guns are useless, so he can only fight bare-handed!

Seeing Cao Gui rushing towards him, the crocodile was overjoyed and opened its mouth to bite, but suddenly found that its mouth was stuck.

Cao Gui shoved a Type 56 rifle vertically into its mouth; it was a weapon he had stolen from the pirates.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Gui thrust his dagger into the crocodile's upper jaw, then flipped over and mounted the crocodile.

The crocodile, writhing in pain, began to struggle desperately, instantly churning the river water and creating towering waves as it rolled about.

However, would Cao Gui give up such a good opportunity?

A fierce tiger-themed dagger appeared and plunged viciously between the crocodile's eyes, where its brain was located.

But Cao Gui did not give up. As long as the spine of a crocodile is not damaged, it will still be able to fight.

So Cao Gui's dagger slid and pierced the spine at the back of its neck. This time, the crocodile was truly dead!

Cao Gui kicked off with both feet and swam directly ashore; swimming in the water was indeed not a good choice.

He was in the navy, but he wasn't good at diving.

"Phew... Damn, this is really a remote and desolate place." Cao Gui unfastened his diving mask and put away the oxygen tank.

Cao Gui walked slowly towards the shore on the mudflats, but his foot suddenly went soft, as if he had stepped on something.

A strange hissing sound came from above.

Cao Gui looked up and saw a huge python coiled around the tree. The python was about 50 or 60 centimeters in diameter and nearly 34 meters long. It looked really big!

"Oh, really..." Cao Gui sighed. He had just escaped the crocodile's mouth when he was bitten by a snake.

Cao Gui pulled out an RPG, aimed, and was about to pull the trigger when he suddenly stopped.

He suddenly had a bold idea!

Although Cao Gui had a map, he didn't know the exact location of the Blood Orchid. This python could guide him!

So, just chase it away and then put a locator on it!

Hissing roar—!

The python suddenly lunged down, its snout wide open, and bit down on Cao Gui's head.

However... Boom!

Cao Gui leaped up with a light step, delivering a powerful whip kick to Cao Gui's forehead.

"Hiss~"

The python coiled in pain, twisting its body as if to run away.

"Haha, you think you can just run away after offending the Navy? You think it's that easy?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the python felt dizzy and was thrown high into the air and then slammed down. Then it was hit with a barrage of punches and kicks, leaving it completely powerless.

After a while, Cao Gui seemed to have gotten tired and clapped his hands to stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the giant python twisted its body and quickly crawled away. This two-legged beast was too terrifying!

Watching it drive away, Cao Gui sighed, "What a pity..."

This is Marvel, not fantasy, otherwise I would have received a beautiful snake lady's gratitude.

I took out a GPS tracker and checked it. Sure enough, the python was already in the Satan Basin.

"Let's go! The Blood Orchid is just around the corner!"

Chapter 82 The New Naval Six Styles

Satan Basin

Shashasha~

At night, the sound of snake scales rubbing together echoed through the jungle, sending chills down one's spine.

Holding a torch, Cao Gui traversed the jungle, gradually approaching the red dot located by the GPS.

Soon, Cao Gui arrived at a patch of vines that were wrapped around a small cliff. A short wooden bridge spanned the cliff, and below, several enormous pythons were entwined together.

This is the mating season for pythons, and the blood orchids are their food, so this place naturally became their den.

Without saying a word, Cao Gui took out a silica container and began picking the blood orchids. He moved quickly, and all the blood orchids in sight were picked by Cao Gui, leaving not a single one behind.

Cao Gui pulled out a rope, secured it, and slid down the cliff to continue picking. In less than an hour, all the blood orchids had been collected by Cao Gui.

There wasn't a trace of red left on the jungle vines under the cover of night.

Meanwhile, in the snake den below, the protracted friendly activity continued, and the pythons were completely unaware that all their food had been stolen.

"Haha, I finally got it!"

Cao Gui put the last glass box of blood orchids into his [System Backpack]. He was eager to return to the big city, gather the medicine, and prepare to start mixing the medicinal liquid.

Suddenly, a burst of fire appeared behind them.

The white doctor on the ship emerged from the woods during the day:

"Hahaha, my immortal flower... huh?"

Where is my immortal flower?

The doctor, who was in high spirits, laughed loudly, but then he saw the vines without a single flower, and Cao Gui standing in front of them.

"Damn it, it's you!?" The young doctor's face instantly contorted into a hideous grimace.

"Damn it, give me back my Flower of Immortality!"

As he spoke, he pulled a revolver from his waist and pointed it at Cao Gui.

boom!

A flash of flame, and the doctor staggered and fell to the ground, while Cao Gui held a Colt M1873 revolver with an ivory grip.

"You're courting death!" Cao Gui sneered. "You think you're worthy to mess with me with guns?"
