Skull Island was less than 10 kilometers away from the US military base.
There was a laboratory with a reef as its base.
Dr. Hammond, who was wearing a white lab coat and holding a cane inlaid with amber, pushed up his glasses. In front of him was a glossy and mysterious egg.
From his burning gaze, it seemed like Hammond was very interested in the egg.
Time ticked by, and the sound of footsteps came from behind him. Perhaps it was the sound of the footsteps, but Hammond recognized who it was.
Of course, it could also be because Hammond didn't care who it was.
In short, before the other person spoke, Hammond asked, "Is the test result out?"
Behind Dr. Hammond was the skinny Chinese Dr. Henry. He looked at the report in his hand and tactfully took it back. He said, "Mr. Hammond, Mr. Hammond.
"From the current data, Dr. Hammond, the egg is very healthy and can be hatched."
After listening to the report, Hammond let out a sigh of relief. After all, when he picked up the egg, he was very worried that there was a problem with it.
Because in nature, animals placed great importance on the protection of the next generation.
This meant that most of the eggs picked up along the way were either spoiled or unable to give birth to the next generation.
Fortunately, there was no problem with the egg.
Hammond nodded excitedly. He still didn't care about the staff behind him, but looked at the egg with burning eyes.
Although he cooperated with the US military, they gave him a large number of monster corpses.
But the problem was that these monster corpses were either mixed together or processed.
Although he extracted a lot of DNA from these monster corpses.
However, there were very few that could form a complete set of genetic chains.
In fact, the reason why Colonel Conrad refused to continue the trade was not only because Dr. Hammond wanted to build a zoo, but also because Dr. Hammond wanted to obtain a complete monster carcass from the other party and clone it.
Selling monster corpses was nothing. After all, the monster corpses Colonel Conrad gave him were processed. Moreover, this kind of overseas force had a lot of autonomy, so it wouldn't affect the other side.
In fact, Conrad had never thought of working together sincerely since the day they agreed to work together.
Why would Dr. Hammond agree?
How should he put it? Although it was not equal, it was better than nothing.
But now, in front of him was a complete monster that might even break out of its shell. Unlike the defective products in the past, if Hammond did it well, he might even be able to decipher the secrets of the monster's genes!
Hearing the weak breathing behind him, Hammond reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the egg. He looked at the Chinese doctor who was still waiting for him and his eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Why haven't you left?
What's the matter? "
He looked past Dr. Hardman and saw the monster egg not far away.
Hesitation flashed in Henry's eyes, but in the end, he tactfully said, "Doctor, since yesterday, there has been a problem with the laboratory's energy source."
Obviously, Dr. Hammond didn't understand his subordinate's meaning. He nodded and said perfunctorily, "I know, you can go now. I'll take care of these problems."
Henry opened his mouth and looked at Dr. Hammond. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he sighed and left without looking back.
Looking at Henry's back as he left?
Dr. Hammond's eyes flashed with disdain. Perhaps it was the arrogance of white people. Although Henry's performance was outstanding, because of his Chinese identity, Dr. Hammond didn't have a good impression of Henry.
Perhaps it was discrimination, but it was more of a precaution.
In fact, most white people's laboratories were like this. If you couldn't prove that you were one of them, it was difficult to access their core technology.
If it was a normal laboratory?
If Henry wasn't Chinese?
With Hammond's behavior in the past few years, he would have been sued countless times by the guild.
But Henry was Chinese, and he had the core technology that the guild wanted, so Dr. Hammond didn't care about these problems.
But what he didn't know was that Henry didn't go back to his room after leaving. Instead, he went straight to the dock.
In fact, as early as three years ago, Henry had already learned the top genetic technology from Dr. Hardman through self-study. He had also made improvements based on Hardman's basic knowledge.
The reason why he didn't leave was because Henry needed Hammond's resources, and also because he still cared about this teacher of his, even though he always liked to leave something behind.
Unfortunately, the egg that Dr. Hammond brought back yesterday disrupted all of Henry's plans.
At that time, Henry was testing the activity of the egg. Through the radiation penetrating the eggshell, he could clearly see the internal structure. But as time passed, Henry gradually realized that something was wrong.
The light in the laboratory was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the machine that emitted the radiation had entered a state of overload.
In other words, the creature inside the egg was devouring the radiation.
This aroused Henry's great interest. At some point, he even wanted to monopolize the egg!
But soon, he gave up on this idea.
Because he realized that the egg had swallowed the energy equivalent to the laboratory's 30 years of operation.
Clearly, the creature inside the egg was not something he could control, nor was it something Hammond could control.
As for why he didn't tell Dr. Hammond or the military base not far from the laboratory?
Don't make a fuss, no one really thinks that Chinese people can become heroes in a world dominated by white people, right?
Not letting you be the scapegoat is already the best outcome.
Moreover, he reminded Dr. Hammond, but what could he do if he didn't listen?
At the same time, on the sea 300 kilometers away from New York, thick soles stepped on the silver-white pure metal ground, making a crisp sound.
Xue Xu looked around curiously. The silver-white metal city was full of futuristic technology. For a girl of her age, it was too lethal.
What made everyone puzzled was that as Ultron's base, they didn't encounter any danger along the way.
If it weren't for the fact that the entire city was still running, everyone would have thought that this steel city had been abandoned by Ultron.
Looking at Xue Xu and Negative Sonic, who were holding hands and even wanted to take photos, Deadpool patted Steel Muscle's butt and looked at Tony with a puzzled look:
"So, are we here for a tour?"
Although Tony was curious why Deadpool's hand touched Steel Muscle's butt when he asked him, Tony still warned: "Don't be careless, since this place hasn't sunk to the bottom of the sea, it means that Ultron still controls this place."
Worried that there would be accidents in the future, Tony didn't leave.
After all, they were going to face the world's top super-criminals.
However, Tony was also very puzzled about Wade's doubts. Even though he had fought with Ultron many times, he still couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts this time.
But one thing was certain, Ultron would never be unprepared, so there must be some danger waiting for them in this steel castle.
As everyone gradually went deeper into the steel fortress, at the end of a passage, Tony couldn't help but frown when he saw Captain and Dong Bing standing in place:
"Why are you here?"
