Chapter 393 Suppression From the Top of the Food Chain
"What exactly is this?"
In Hydra's base, Strack and others looked at the tall figure revealed in the experimental cabin with stunned expressions.
"Unexpectedly, there is a humanoid creature hidden in the meteorite..."
On the other side, trapped on a chair-shaped device made by Hydra, Susan looked at the exposed creatures in the meteorite and couldn't help but murmured.
The Fantastic Four have been researching meteorites like this for a long time. As Mr. Fantastic Reed's girlfriend and research assistant, Susan has always shown an attentive attitude towards various research data on meteorites. However, she never imagined that there was a creature that looked almost human hidden within the meteorite they had been studying for so long.
Of course, Susan knew that although the creatures in the meteorites were similar to humans, they could never be humans.
"No, no, maybe it's not hidden in the meteorite, but..."
The creature that appeared in the meteorite made Susan forget the reality that she was imprisoned. Looking at the figure in the experimental cabin, a large number of guesses formed in her mind and were quickly overturned: "...the meteorite was formed by the creature in front of her. It is a kind of existence similar to camouflage or protection, just like the protective color of creatures in nature."
"..."
Sitting on the chair, Susan kept making various inferences about the existence of humanoid creatures in the experimental cabin out of a researcher's instinct.
However, in the Hydra base, except for Wanda, who was standing not far away from her, everyone else obviously had no time to pay attention to the prisoner's murmurings.
Standing near the console closer to the experimental cabin, Doctor Doom looked at the figure that appeared in the cabin, with a solemn expression under the steel mask.
Perhaps because of his special ability, Doctor Doom was more sensitive than others in the laboratory to feel an inexplicable sense of oppression from the tall creature that appeared in the center of the meteorite. This feeling was quite strange. It's like the instinct that is engraved deep in the memory cells when creatures at the lower end of the food chain meet at the top.
Just like a mouse facing a cat, or an antelope facing a pack of wolves, it trembles but shows no resistance.
Doctor Doom hated this feeling, but at the same time he became extra vigilant because of it.
After the radiation mutation of the space cosmic storm, the half-human and half-metal Doctor Doom felt suppressed when facing the creatures in the meteorite, let alone other people in the Hydra base.
As the feeling of suppression became more and more obvious, Straker couldn't help but reach out and touch the unilateral glasses on his face, gritted his teeth and began to give instructions to the Hydra soldiers in the laboratory: "Soldier, obey the order, Act on the creature that emerged from the meteorite..."
"Wait, don't shoot yet."
However, before Strucker's order could be carried out, Dr. Zola's voice sounded again.
On the machine screen in the laboratory, the virtual image of Dr. Zola opened his mouth: "Perhaps we can try to see if we can control this creature that appeared in the meteorite first. I am quite interested in its way of survival. This How did a creature with obvious human characteristics survive in the universe?"
Because he gave up his body and completely stored his consciousness in the network, Dr. Zola did not have the same suppressed feelings as Strack and others. He looked at the tall creature inside the meteorite, and the expression in the image clearly showed the desire for research. Through the power of technology, although Dr. Zola successfully obtained the power of immortality, he also paid a huge price for it and lost his life. As a human body, most of his instinctive desires have disappeared, and only the desire for research still exists in his electronic consciousness.
Or maybe Dr. Zola, who has transformed into a cyber consciousness, only has the constant burst of research ideas that makes him feel that he is still alive and not just cold data.
"I'm sorry, doctor, I have difficulty accepting your request."
Facing Dr. Zola's request, Strack showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
But it soon turned into a determined expression.
As the leader of the Hydra base here, although Straker wants to build his own army of extraordinary beings to fight against the Avengers, he also knows that, just as Dr. Zola said, what appears in the meteorite in front of him is Mysterious creatures may really bring changes to their plans.
But Strack trusted his inner feelings more.
The mysterious creatures inside the meteorite are quite dangerous.
Gritting his teeth and rejecting Dr. Zola's proposal, Struck immediately turned his expression solemn and issued the command to attack.
Following Straker's order, the Hydra soldiers in the laboratory, who were already tense under the inexplicable feeling of oppression, immediately pulled the triggers in their hands. In an instant, the sky filled with firelight filled the laboratory, and dense bullets roared out, falling like raindrops on the creatures in the experimental cabin.
"Hit, hit."
The bullets that kept flying out were like a vent, turning the inner fear of everyone in the base into the urge to shoot. After more than ten seconds, as the last bullet flew out of the submachine gun in the hands of the soldiers beside him, Straker finally He raised his hand to signal the shooting to stop.
After fanning the entire laboratory against the pungent smell of gunpowder that filled the tip of his nose, Strack squinted at the mysterious creature in the center of the meteorite that had been shot into a sieve and still didn't move at all, and began to wonder if his previous feeling was wrong: "Could it be It’s just that I thought too much, is there no danger in this creature that emerged from the meteorite?”
"Sir, sir..."
In the laboratory, before Straker's inner thoughts could fully emerge, the next second he heard an obvious exclamation from a Hydra soldier behind him.
"The creatures inside the meteorite are alive... alive!"
The soldier's call immediately caused more panic among the people who were already extremely panicked. Under their gazes. The tall figure that was originally curled up in the center of the meteorite began to twist its body. The stone-like but bloody and lustrous muscles on its body seemed to be contracting like life. Then everyone in the laboratory looked at them in panic and fear. He stretched out his muscular but unusually long arms in a supporting posture.
"Stand up, it stands up!"
Finally, he supported his tall body in a twisted posture and stood up from the experimental cabin.
Bang!
"..."
Looking at the mysterious creature slowly standing up, the expressions on the faces of Strack and others had no time to change.
The next moment, because he failed to calculate the height of the experimental cabin, he hit the top of the hatch cover, and his whole body fell heavily back into the experimental cabin with a roar.
The situation of the mysterious creature falling down as soon as it stood up may be a bit funny, but there was no trace of ridicule on the faces of Strack and the others in the laboratory. Because along with its movements, they had clearly seen the whole picture of this creature. Different from what they expected, the mysterious creature that appeared from the meteorite was not an ugly or deformed alien creature as imagined. On the contrary, the appearance of the creature was He was as handsome as a Greek statue, with long purple hair. The bullet holes left by the bullets on the opponent's body not only did not make the creature's appearance ugly, but added a different kind of incomplete beauty.
“¥&¥ # % # *(……”
After falling back into the experimental cabin, the mysterious creature shook its head. It looked up at the hatch above its head and let out a series of strange and rapid tones.
"Is this a language?"
Trapped on the chair, Susan had been paying attention to the scene in the experimental cabin from the moment the creature inside the meteorite appeared. When she heard the voice coming from the mouth of the mysterious creature, she couldn't help but frown. Make subconscious guesses.
"Do you know what it says?"
Standing not far from Susan, Wanda silently heard her muttering to herself.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask.
Turning to look at Wanda beside her, Susan shook her head: "This is obviously not any known language on the earth, but since the other party has a language, it means that this creature is likely to also have a language. To build a civilization of their own race.”
A few words of unknown meaning came out of his mouth, and the mysterious creature twisted its body and stood up again.
Judging from the height, the mysterious creature that is over two meters has obviously exceeded the maximum accommodation range of the experimental cabin. If he does not want to fall like before, he must lower his head. However, the mysterious creature obviously made a different choice. He stretched out his palm to grab the top of the hatch. The next second, there was a harsh bending sound, and the thick and solid metal on the experimental cabin was like a shortbread. Pulled off easily.
"Such power!"
Under the steel mask, Doctor Doom looked at the metal hatch that was easily torn off in the hands of the mysterious creature, and a solemn light flashed in his eyes.
Throwing aside the metal hatch cover in his hand, the mysterious creature stepped out of the experimental cabin with a large hole. He turned around and looked at everyone in the laboratory, tilted his head, and said: "%...*¥%)*(&"
"It...it's talking!"
Under the gaze of the mysterious creature, the feeling of oppression on Struck and others became even stronger.
Avoiding the other party's gaze, Struck focused his gaze on the screen aside, looking at the image of Dr. Zola staying there, gritting his teeth and making a question.
"Dr. Zola, can you know the content of the other person's words?"
"no."
On the screen, the image of Dr. Zola shook his head and gave the same answer as Susan: "I recorded what the other party said and searched all the languages known on the earth, but there was no matching content. Maybe. , I can decipher the meaning of his words by recording more conversations, but it will take time..."
"Is that so?"
After hearing the reply from Dr. Zola, Straker muttered it softly, but then he restrained his regret. After all, he is not a researcher like Dr. Zola, and his desire to study this mysterious creature that emerged from the meteorite is not very strong.
On the contrary, the strength shown by the other party has proved Strack's previous premonition.
Turning his head to scan the surrounding Hydra soldiers behind him, Struck finally focused on Doctor Doom not far away.
Previous Hydra attacks had proven that the bullets in the hands of the soldiers were not as lethal as imagined against the mysterious creature in front of them.
"&*%......*¥¥ # )~"
After opening his mouth and speaking a few words to Strack and others in the laboratory, he found that they had no response. The mysterious creature twisted his head and felt something strange in his body. He lowered his head and noticed the dense bullet holes on his body. , the handsome face like a Greek statue frowned slightly.
The next moment, a large number of bullets were pushed out from these bullet holes.
Bang, bang, bang--
The dense bullets fell like raindrops, making a series of crisp impact sounds.
"Doctor Doom."
Seeing the bullets coming out of the mysterious creature and the wounds on the opponent's body that were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Straker's expression changed and he immediately anxiously alerted Doctor Doom around the console.
In just a few minutes after the mysterious creature stood up, the opponent had already demonstrated two abilities that were beyond ordinary people, super strength and recovery ability.
In fact, Doctor Doom had already sensed the crisis of the situation without Straker's reminder.
The appearance of the mysterious creature completely disrupted his plan. If he allowed the other party to continue his actions, it was very likely that all his previous painstaking planning efforts would be in vain. Thinking of this, Doctor Doom no longer hesitated, controlled his body to generate a large amount of electric current, and immediately blasted towards the mysterious creature in front of him.
Crackling!
The violent current turned into two dazzling lightning bolts under the control of Doctor Doom and struck the mysterious creature. Facing his powerful and swift attack, even the mysterious creature that emerged from the meteorite seemed unable to react in time. , was hit hard by lightning, and the instantaneous impact sent his tall body flying away.
Bang——
With the fierce power of the electric current, the mysterious creature flew into the air and hit a large number of instruments in the laboratory as if it was unable to resist.
However, seeing the figure of the opponent flying backwards, Doctor Doom did not dare to relax at all. Therefore, judging from the abilities shown by the mysterious creatures before, it was obvious that a few lightnings alone could not eliminate the opponent.
Therefore, without any hesitation, watching the mysterious creature fly out of the direction of the collision, Doctor Doom condensed the electricity in his hand again and turned it into violent lightning, which continuously fell on the opponent.
"Was it successfully eliminated?"
The lightning lasted for more than ten seconds before Doctor Doom stopped his movements. He controlled his metal arm, which was reddened by the frequent use of his abilities, to restrain the remaining current in his body. He looked at the large amount of lightning in the corner of the laboratory. The direction where it was hit and blackened, his eyes flashed.
