Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

However, no matter what he wanted to do, he lacked so much information that he couldn't even make any judgments. So he could only take one step at a time and see what would happen.

And there was one thing about this whole thing that was unexpected and very interesting to him.

Nick Fury looked at the tiger lying at Henry's feet. This top predator in nature would crawl at the feet of a human. Even a mutant who was not afraid of being bitten could not do such a thing.

"Actually, compared to this farce of two gangs of aliens fighting, I'm more curious about why this has anything to do with you, Henry?" Fury asked bluntly.

"I want to know too." The Kryptonian said sincerely. Honestly, he was probably the most confused person in this drama.

Henry stepped on Katie with his feet, as if giving her a massage. The male tiger lay comfortably on its side on the floor of the cargo hold behind the jet, just short of lying on its back like a dog with its belly exposed.

Chapter 356 Exploring the Secret of the Yuan-devouring Beast

"Mom, it's Aunt Carol!" A black girl came down from a propeller plane under the hangar and threw herself into the arms of a bewildered Foss. "I knew it. Everyone said you were dead."

"I'm not who you think I am." Firth did not push the girl away, but still said this to the black mother who was walking towards him with a look of disbelief on her face.

Looking at this long-awaited reunion, Nick Fury and Barbara Morse did not approach tactlessly, but stood far away.

Henry kept a distance from her because he took Katie off the plane to get some fresh air. In order to avoid scaring people with this tabby cat, he certainly couldn't get close to those he didn't know.

It's not that I'm afraid Katie might bite someone, but I'm afraid she might scare them. Given the rate of gun ownership in the US, who knows if this retired Air Force mom would pull out a gun and shoot the tiger if she saw one.

Another reason why he was one step behind others was that he wanted to get close to the most unreasonable existence in the entire "Captain Marvel" movie, Goose, the elemental beast with the appearance of an orange cat.

The reason why it is unreasonable does not mean that the appearance of a virtual creature in a fantasy work is unreasonable.

Instead, in the movie, this orange cat appeared from an air force base that should have been heavily guarded without any cause or effect, and then followed the protagonist and his crew, providing a lot of help.

Henry, who was a step slower, ignored the fool who wanted to slip away alone. He grabbed the Yuan-devouring Beast by the scruff of its neck and faced it head-on.

The Metamorphosis was indeed different from a typical cat. At least it didn't meow like a normal cat. But its appearance meant that its other characteristics didn't stray too far from a cat's.

From its skeleton to its muscles, it's practically identical to a normal cat. The only real difference is the snake-like structure of the muscles covering its jawbone, allowing the Devourer to open its mouth to unimaginable widths.

Basically, up to this point, it still looks like a normal cat, but its internal organs are completely out of the concept of Earth creatures.

The brain of a Meta-Swallow is densely packed with wrinkles, far exceeding those of an average cat. While its brain capacity isn't as large as a human's, the density of its wrinkles makes Meta-Swallows far more intelligent than a cat.

Then there is the digestive system, which is not like that of mammals. From the mouth to the esophagus and stomach, there are some differences from the norm.

Especially the stomach. Since Henry gained the ability of X-ray vision after being exposed to the yellow sun, the stomach of the Yuanshi Beast is the second thing he has discovered that cannot be seen through with X-ray vision, except for the inability to see through lead plates.

He could only see the outside of the Yuanshi beast's stomach, which was not much different from that of an ordinary cat, about the size of an adult's fist. However, if he tried to see through it, he would only be able to see the back of the stomach, not the inside.

According to the official setting, there is a microcosm in the stomach of the Metamorphosis Beast. Henry is very curious about the physical manifestation of this universe within a universe.

I thought I could see something like the event horizon of the black hole, but it was blocked and I couldn't see anything.

It's like watching a romantic action movie, taking off your pants, and then seeing a screen full of mosaics. You want to curse.

The goose seemed to sense that its secret had been discovered, and it had originally looked at the two-legged creature with disdain and contempt. Now it began to struggle, waving its cat claws wildly.

Fortunately, it had the good sense to not open its mouth and extend its tentacles to swallow Henry whole. Otherwise, Henry would have to think about how much weight the infamous Devourer of the Marvel Universe could hold against a Kryptonian.

But the goose's cat claws were also famous, and they could gouge out one of Black Nick Fury's eyes. Henry quickly grabbed one of the cat's paws, pressed his thumb on the paw, stared at the cat's paw, and sniffed it.

There is no toxin as imagined, but instead a special energy fluctuation. If a person's skin is scratched, it will be impossible to heal.

Henry discovered this because he observed that the temperature around the claws of the Metamorphosis Beast was abnormal, and it was not like the effect caused by the outward radiation of body temperature of ordinary mammals.

However, Henry's actions seemed to have angered the Devourer. As he observed, not only did the Goose's eyes grow increasingly sharp, but it also began to emit abnormal energy fluctuations.

Especially the stomach that attracted much attention, it actually began to contract and move.

Henry changed from lifting to hugging, and stroked the little head, neck and back of the Yuan-Devouring Beast a few times to soothe the little guy's emotions.

Unfortunately, the goose refused to accept the offer. Although it enjoyed itself for a moment, it finally broke free and jumped back to the ground. With its tail held high, it walked away proudly.

In terms of personality, Daitou Goose is much more eye-catching than Katie, who is almost being raised into a pig.

Arriving in a strange environment, Katie did not have the aura of a forest king, trying to occupy this new territory. Instead, she clung to Henry's feet, as if she was afraid of being left in this strange place.

But she had no desire to compete for attention. Henry petted the cat, and Katie just watched with a silly look on her face. Even when the goose broke free, stood up with its tail, and walked away with its anus exposed, she still watched.

Seeing this, Henry couldn't help but sigh that this tiger was ruined.

But as he stepped off the Quajet to rejoin the group that had gotten off earlier, he heard a childish voice exclaim, "Is that a tiger? It must be a tiger."

"No, young lady, this is the tabby cat Katie." Henry responded quickly. He stroked the cat's head and said, "Katie, say hello to our young lady."

"Roar!"

The brave black girl with the afro was not frightened by the tiger's roar. Instead, she was about to rush forward excitedly. It was her mother who grabbed her, otherwise this silly girl would have walked herself into the tiger's mouth.

Maria Rambo protected her daughter behind her, put one hand in front of her body, and said cautiously: "Willn't that tiger bite people?"

Henry stopped and said, "If I say Katie doesn't bite people and doesn't eat meat, only vegetables, I don't think anyone will believe me. If you're worried, I can stay away."

Maria Rambo, her guard slightly lowered, looked at the tiger that stayed close to the man and said, "It's okay. Just keep it from running around."

But just because Henry was easy to talk to didn't mean his daughter was as easy to talk to. The little girl with the afro tugged at her mother's clothes. "Mom, can I pet it?"

"No!" Maria Rambo saw the orange cat walking towards her and scooped it up, saying, "If you want to hug someone, hug a real cat. Hey, silly goose! Why are you here?"

Chapter 357 Traces that cannot be hidden

Nick Fury said in surprise: "Do you recognize this cat?"

She checked the name tag on the orange cat's collar and saw it was indeed the one she knew. Maria Rambo stroked the cat and said, "Dr. Lawson's cat is owned by the idiot.

"Ever since the doctor's accident, no one has been able to find him. Only occasionally someone would see him inside the base. When the doctor was still around, Carol was also very close to Goose. Do you remember this?"

Maria Rambeau asked this question to Fuss, a member of the Kree Star Troopers.

Nick Fury then realized why the cat had suddenly appeared in the base and was so close to them. The one that the silly goose wanted to stick to was not Big Black, but Fury.

But Firth herself had no memory of this. She frowned, tried to recall it, but ultimately shook her head.

Maria Rambo was about to say something when she stuffed the orange cat into her daughter's arms. "Forget it, come back with me first. This is not the place to talk."

Henry broke out in a cold sweat just by watching the mother's actions. "You're worried that Katie might hurt her daughter, but haven't you ever considered whether the cat is even more dangerous?"

When a group of people arrived at Maria Rambeau's home, the black mother immediately saw the Quattro jet parked not far from the house. This flying machine, which was out of place in the small town, certainly could not have been brought by a townsperson.

Maria Rambo looked at everyone. "Is this the plane you brought?"

Nick Fury was saying something sassy at this point. "Don't worry, this is a vertical take-off and landing jet. It won't crush your lawn."

The little girl's eyes lit up again and she asked excitedly, "Mom, can I go and have a look?"

It's not good to always discourage children, and even Maria Rambeau herself was very interested in that special plane. She was just more concerned about what happened to her best friend.

"Go ahead. But I still need to ask your Aunt Carol what has happened these days. I won't wait for you."

"Oh, never mind." The girl took her mother's hand and fixed her sharp eyes on the aunt who had come back from the dead.

A group of people entered the house, including Henry and Katie.

This is a very ordinary, typical single-family two-story house in the American suburbs. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, dining room, etc., and the bedrooms are concentrated on the second floor.

The house is a bit too big for a mother and daughter, so it's a bit difficult to clean. But the house is very clean, and everything shows signs of meticulous care. You can imagine how hard the owner works to maintain their life.

Everyone gathered in the dining room. American custom is to spend time in a dining room when serious business is needed. The living room was too cozy, a place for casual conversation and relaxation.

The man and the tiger consciously kept their distance and did not get too close to the still wary mother and the curious daughter.

But now everyone's focus is still on Firth, listening to her talk about what happened.

But Fuss didn't say anything. She just started by telling the story of how she was captured by the Skrulls and put on a strange machine and saw strange hallucinations.

It was those unclear illusions that made her pursue the answers, not knowing what she would find in the end.

She traced the whole thing back to Project Pegasus and found herself in the profile photo, so she decided to ask Maria Rambeau, a former Project Pegasus participant, about the details of the Project Pegasus.

Compared to her bewildered mother, Monica Rambo, the daughter, was obviously much more heartless. She only cared about her own happiness and her own affairs, and suddenly said:

"Aunt Carol, we still have all your things, including your flight jacket. But one time I accidentally got ketchup on it, and Mom won't let me wear it anymore. I'll go get those things and show you."

After saying that, he ran off to look for something without caring whether others needed it or not.

Fuss winked at the others and said to Nick Fury, "Maybe you could go up and help."

Actually, Nick Fury wanted to stay, but he wasn't so ignorant. "Well, maybe there's a lot of stuff, so we need a few more people to help. Bobby, come with me. Henry, how about you?"

"I'm taking Katie out for a walk. You know, after eating and drinking, there's always something that needs to be excreted. It doesn't look like you have a litter box at home, so I'm taking her to the nearby woods to find a good place to do it."

Looking at the tiger lying at Henry's feet, Nick Fury shrugged and left without saying anything.

Henry certainly didn't just talk the talk. He took Katie and left through the back door of the kitchen. He went to find a good feng shui spot and wait for the tiger to defecate and urinate.

Tigers don't urinate by lifting their legs or squatting like dogs do. They spray from behind! So, don't stand behind a tiger during this time, unless you want to take a shower in its urine...

Henry used the excuse of taking Katie out because he discovered something unusual.

Their journey all the way from California in their Quatjet was not smooth sailing.

The Quattroporte lacks stealth capabilities, meaning it would be subject to air traffic control (ATC) if it flew too high. Above about 18,000 feet above sea level, it would be targeted.

Because this airspace primarily houses large commercial passenger and cargo aircraft, which are less maneuverable and faster, when a pilot sees an aircraft approaching, there's virtually no chance of evasion. Therefore, effective management is essential.

Because of the takeoff and landing, the entire airspace near the airport is managed.

Below 18,000 feet, there are several levels of airspace management rules. These are necessary measures to keep air routes open and safe.

Airspace below 1,200 feet is considered a transition zone, and flights at this altitude are less restricted. For one thing, aircraft that can only fly below this altitude are generally not very fast, and have sufficient maneuverability to avoid neighboring aircraft if they see them.

However, it was impossible for Foss to control the Quattro jet to fly at supersonic speed at this altitude. This would be like driving a supercar in the slow lane with the throttle wide open; the driver would have no way of predicting what he would hit.

So they were able to fly over because of the temporary route that Nick Fury applied for with his special authority.

If someone fails to follow these rules, they may be escorted by US military fighter jets and forced to land at a designated airport. If they refuse to comply after receiving a warning, the US military has the right to shoot them down. However, before 9/11, this was usually limited to a warning.

Fortunately, the Quat jet itself is an experimental aircraft belonging to the US military, so it has a qualified transponder signal and does not require additional identity verification.

But if everything complies with regulations, another problem will arise, which is that it leaves traceable traces.

Chapter 358 The pursuers have arrived

After entering Louisiana, Nick Fury took some time to determine where Maria Rambeau lived.

There were no navigation maps in this era that could directly direct you to a specific house number. You could only search on the map and guess where you were and which way to go.

The conclusion is that as long as the opponent is not a fool, he should catch up after such a long time.

If the Skrulls still maintain their fake identities, with their superior authority, it would not be a problem for them to find out what Vers and Nick Fury are looking for in the base's archives.

There was no need to deliberately track the Kwa jet's flight; they should be able to directly infer its destination. This alien race, all skilled at infiltrating behind enemy lines and seizing power through subversive means, couldn't be fools.

So Henry didn't think the anomaly he discovered was a coincidence. Upon closer inspection, as expected, he immediately discovered evidence of ill intentions.

Three identical SUVs drove into the town where they landed. Most of the people in the cars were wearing black suits. The SHIELD support they had been waiting for outside the air force base was also there, as was Agent Kohler, the agent who had ordered the arrest of Henry and Barbara.

Looking at this scene, it doesn't seem like there were only two people in the movie. So are they all Skrulls in disguise, or have some idiots from S.H.I.E.L.D. been tricked into coming?

Without confirming this, it is difficult to take action against them.

Moreover, in the movie, the reason why only two Skrulls came was because they found evidence that Fuss could be won over. So they did not intend to use force, but instead used persuasion tactics, trying to win over Fuss with the emotion of sharing a common hatred for the enemy.

Now there are three cars and a total of fourteen people. Does this change mean that their strategy has also changed?

Recalling the previous situation, the only flaw Henry could think of was the stolen car he had abandoned on the roadside. Because there was no one in the car, the Skrulls had reason to believe that he had reunited with Nick Fury and the others.

So, I, a Kryptonian, have become a variable?

Considering that the Kryptonians were chased and beaten by the Skrulls as soon as they appeared, it would be better for them to avoid them now that they are catching up.

Anyway, if these people talk, they can't hide anything from me. Keeping a distance makes it easier for me to escape.

As for his troubles, it can only be said that Henry is afraid of provoking people like Mystique, and for good reason. She doesn't confront him directly, but simply throws dirty water on him, and Henry still doesn't have a good solution.

Before Fuss chose to cooperate with the Skrulls, one option was to completely wipe out the aliens. But that would require Nick Fury to clean up the mess, and he would have to find the right way to catch the Skrulls.

Of course, Henry didn't want to owe Nick Fury such a favor, which was no different from selling himself.

As for how to identify the Skrulls, Henry still wasn't very sure. If he accidentally killed someone from S.H.I.E.L.D., don't think they would be so kind as to use the friendly fire indicator to forgive him.

After all, I'm an outsider, not an internal employee of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's better to hope that the United States will change its nature and become peace-loving than to expect them to understand the accidental injuries I had to deal with.

So the only way now is to wait and see what happens. Then gamble that Krypton and the Skrulls are not some kind of feud where they have to fight to the death when they meet.

Letting Katie run wild in the woods, Henry kept his eye on the group of SHIELD agents who had infiltrated the Skrulls, as well as the group in Maria Rambeau's house.
