- Chapter 998 - The unknown creatures that the Inhumans fear, the choice of coordinates
A large piece of Gala crocodile meat was roasted on a red-hot stone slab, and then sprinkled with special seasonings. The fat jumped and the fragrance sizzled out.
Gurgle! ×3
Colson, Simmons, and Abe, both of them and the dragon swallowed their saliva.
Colson was better. Although he was a little hungry, he was not very hungry and could barely hold on.
Abe wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth unconsciously. It was okay for the holy dragon not to eat, but it couldn’t change its greedy habit.
Simmons couldn’t move her eyes away. The fat jumping on the stone slab was simply the most beautiful picture in the world in her eyes.
This is the food that people eat! What kind of life has she lived for more than half a month? In order to survive, she drank unknown liquids and ate unknown animals and plants in unknown liquids. It was a good psychological quality that she didn’t collapse.
“Okay.” Aaron cut a piece of barbecue and put it directly into his mouth to chew.
“Is it delicious?” Simmons asked blankly.
“It’s OK! The outside is fragrant, and the inside is tender and juicy. It’s at least several times better than ordinary steaks.” Aaron said, cutting off a large piece and putting it on Abe’s plate.
Shenglong didn’t show any reserve, and ignoring the presence of outsiders, he just started to eat heartily.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Aaron asked with some doubt.
“Hungry, of course I’m hungry, how can I not be hungry!” Simmons said immediately, “I haven’t eaten for almost a day.”
“Colson, I have to criticize you.
Are those things in your bag moldy?”
Coulson’s mouth twitched, and he opened his backpack awkwardly, throwing Simmons two packs of compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water, “Make do with it!
This backpack was packed by Mei, maybe she didn’t expect us to find you so soon.”
Simmons looked at the compressed biscuits and mineral water in his hand, and then looked at the man and dragon drinking wine and eating barbecue opposite, and suddenly he felt bad.
If she had gotten these two things a day ago, she would have been very happy, at least it was better than eating unknown creatures, but now she only felt disgusted when she compared them. It was not right to bully people like this.
Crack!
At this time, the iron cover above her head suddenly opened, and a man in linen clothes came down the ladder.
He held a machete, and after vigilantly staring at Aaron and Coulson for a few seconds, his body relaxed a little, “Simmons’ friend?”
“How did you know?” Coulson asked.
“She has your photos and videos on her phone.” Will smiled casually, “Simmons, you are right, your friends have not given up on you.
But it is amazing that they can find you in such a short time.”
“What’s even more amazing is that they found a way to open the portal, and we can leave here.”
“Really?” Will looked at Coulson in doubt, and asked a little nervously: “Are you sure it’s not an illusory hope?”
“Every 24 hours, my team will open a portal on Earth.
We just need to find the right location.”
Hearing this, Will sighed heavily, his eyes became a little more dim, “How to find it? I have been looking for it for more than ten years, but I have never found anything.”
“Aaron is a fortune teller, he can predict the location of the portal.”
“Divination? Is it reliable?”
“Be more confident, remove the word ‘ma’.
I am a regular fortune teller with professional ethics. I would not come to this crappy place if I was not absolutely sure.”
“If the portal opens once every 24 hours, then we have to speed up.” Simmons stood up while enduring the pain in his leg. “This planet is not big, but not small either.
The location of the portal is different every time, and there will be sandstorms from time to time. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next 24 hours.”
“Uh… I don’t think you should worry about those.” Coulson said with a dry laugh, “Aaron brought a means of transportation, a very, very, very special means of transportation.
We still have nearly ten hours, and we can definitely get there before the portal opens.”
Aaron shrugged and did not comment.
“It’s better to be quick. If you are late, there may be changes.” Will said, “NASA said they will take us back within a year, but Simmons told me that the stone is no longer in NASA’s hands.”
“Okay! I’ll leave after I finish my meal.” Aaron cut another piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, chewing while saying: “Before I leave, I still have a few questions. I hope Mr. Will can help me solve them.
Anyway, you will definitely be interrogated by SHIELD again after you get out, so it’s better to think about the words now.”
“What’s the problem?”
Aaron smiled mysteriously and asked directly: “Why did you come here? What’s the mission here?”
“NASA has always been curious about the monolith, but the budget for space exploration has been exhausted, so a small group of people inside convinced everyone that this is the future of space exploration that NASA can afford.
I was originally an Air Force pilot, and after being recruited by NASA, I volunteered for this project.
Haha! I can never refuse to do something that others say is impossible.
There are four people in our team. I was the first to pass through the portal with all the equipment, and the other three followed behind me.
They are all scientists, responsible for collecting samples, drawing local maps, and studying this planet.
My mission is relatively simple, to keep my head clear in the event of an accident and save everyone’s lives until I find a way back. “
“But you’re the only one here.” Colson frowned and asked, “What happened in the middle?”
“It.” Will looked solemn, “It has a way of getting into your mind and making you crazy.
Austin jumped off a cliff, Brubaker set himself on fire, Tyler smashed the equipment with an ax and came at me, and then… I had to kill him and escape. “
Coulson thought for a while, then turned to look at Aaron, “Do you think ‘it’ is what the Inhumans are afraid of?”
“What?” Simmons didn’t understand. “Why is it related to the Inhumans?”
“How should I put it? It’s more complicated to explain.
Now all you need to know is that the stone was left behind by the Kree to destroy the Inhumans, so there must be potential dangers in this world, and it may very well be what Will is talking about…it. “
“We can’t be sure yet, at least we have to see ‘it’ with our own eyes.”
“Are you crazy? We should try to avoid ‘it’.”
“Haha!” Aaron smiled disdainfully and said with a meaningful smile: “If you came to this world more than ten years ago and are still alive today after fighting ‘it’, that means ‘it’ is not Not that powerful.
Think about it, the Kree left the earth thousands of years ago, and they left that stone behind, which means that ‘it’ has been in this world for thousands of years.
But what kind of world is this? Barren, desolate, and lonely, no matter how powerful ‘it’ is, even a giant dragon will be weakened into an ant after spending thousands of years in such an environment. “
“That is also a man-eating ant, and we cannot provoke it casually.” Will said very seriously, “Leaving this world before ‘it’ reacts is the best choice.”
“I might be disappointed.” Colson spread his hands in embarrassment, “If nothing else happens, ‘it’ already knows about our existence.
Didn’t you hear any roaring when you were outside before? “
“Did you do that?” Will opened his mouth in shock, “Are you guys suffering from brain damage?”
“If you want to lure the snake out of its hole, you have to make some noise.” Aaron said with an understatement, “But you can rest assured that we will not take risks. We just want to find out what ‘it’ is.”
“We have to get out of here as soon as possible, ‘it’ will definitely find us.”
“Wait, wait,” Simmons interrupted, “Maybe that ‘it’ doesn’t exist at all?”
“Do you think I made this up?”
“You haven’t really seen ‘it’, and what happened to the three people who came with you can also be explained by psychological reasons. Perhaps the extreme isolation drove them crazy, which is not uncommon.”
“But not for astronauts, who are trained to endure years of isolation.”
Simmons was speechless. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Let’s leave as soon as possible!”
“Aaron.” Colson urged with some embarrassment: “Have you finished eating?”
Aaron rolled his eyes at him and reluctantly put all the tableware into the space ring. As for the uneaten barbecue, he stuffed all the uneaten barbecue into Abe’s pocket.
“Waltfa…” Will’s eyes widened in surprise. He has lived alone in a different world for more than ten years and is somewhat out of touch with the development of the earth. However, he can’t help but be amazed when he sees someone can directly make things disappear, “You How is it done?”
“Alchemist, one of my identities.” Aaron raised the ring on his hand, “The daily necessities contained in it are enough for an ordinary person to consume for several years.”
“It… also has it?” Will looked at Abe in disbelief, “Does it also have clothes?”
“Of course.” Aaron picked up Abe in a dumbfounded voice, “There may be more things in its pockets than in my ring.
But who has raised it since I was a child? Just stock up on it, as long as it likes it. “
Hearing his master’s words, Abe proudly raised the dragon’s head, but was happy for only three seconds before being pressed down by a finger.
“Stop pushing your limits.”
Abe rubbed his head aggrievedly and nodded weakly.
…
Simmons was accidentally brought to this world by the boulder, and he didn’t bring anything of value with him. Will simply packed a few things, so everyone didn’t delay long and got out of the cave in less than a few minutes.
“Where will the portal open?” Will asked directly, “I have a map of this world. Although there are still some places I haven’t visited, it should be able to help.”
“No need.” Aaron looked up at the sky. “The stars will guide us.”
“Stars? Shouldn’t they be crystal balls?”
“Agent Coulson, I use the crystal ball just because I’m the best at using it, it doesn’t mean I’m the only one who can use it.
Astrology is also a compulsory course for true fortune tellers. “
“Is this okay?”
“It’s just more troublesome. Otherwise, if you give me a pendant, I can rely on the fortune teller’s inspiration to find the right direction.” Aaron said enigmatically. The stars in the sky formed a combination of symbols in his eyes, a star chart. Also drawing rapidly in my mind.
Soon two special coordinates appeared in the stars, but one disappeared and appeared and would be turned on soon, while the other was completely invisible and seemed to only turn on when the stars changed.
“Over there.” Aaron pointed to a hill on the left, “The portal will open in that direction.”
“Are you sure that’s where it is?” Will asked anxiously.
“Don’t insult my noble personality with your suspicious eyes. You are disrespecting my profession.”
“It’s not that I don’t respect your profession, but there are mass graves over there, a restricted area where ‘it’ may appear.”
“Huh?” Aaron was stunned for a moment, then laughed nonchalantly, “I found two coordinates. The first one is farther away from us, about dozens of kilometers, but the portal opened later. , should be consistent with the next time the boulder liquefies.
The second one is the so-called Grave Mound, where the portal opened by Skye’s urging of the boulder will appear, but it seems that her luck is not very good. “
“It doesn’t matter if you think the risk is too great, Skye will open the portal again in the next twenty-four hours, and the coordinates will change accordingly.
If you don’t like uncertainty, you can go directly to the first coordinate and wait. It can take up to ten days and a half for the stone to open normally. “
“Go to the mass graves.” Colson thought for a moment, his voice unquestionable.
“Can’t you wait until tomorrow?” Will asked puzzledly. In his opinion, that way is the least risk, and they don’t need to face that unpredictable ‘it’.
“We have no choice, Will.” Coulson said very seriously, “If the portal really opens in the Graveyard, then ‘it’ may not notice it.
I know my team member very well. Once the time comes, she will do her best to keep the portal open.
If we don’t get there in time, then ‘it’ might return to Earth through the portal, and no one can tell how big of a disaster it will be. “
“That’s not the funniest thing, the funniest thing is that ‘it’ is the nemesis of the Inhumans, and Skye happens to be the Inhumans.
Once ‘it’ gets out, Skye will definitely be the first to suffer.
Moreover, the boulder is right under the nose of ‘it’. If I were ‘it’, I would never allow that thing that would prevent me from living in another world for thousands of years to continue to exist. “
“You mean ‘it’ will destroy the boulder?” Simmons asked.
“Nonsense, only by destroying the boulder will the number of things that threaten ‘it’ on the earth decrease.
But at that time, we will be extremely miserable. The destruction of the boulder is equivalent to the loss of the channel connecting the earth to the planet, and we will have to stay in this hellish place forever. “
After the words fell, Colson, Simmons and Will couldn’t help but take a breath.
I have to admit that Aaron knows how to create pressure.
Unless they are lucky enough and ‘it’ doesn’t discover the portal, they have to take the risk, otherwise there is a high possibility of being exiled for life.
