They hadn't considered the possibility of failure. After all, on one side were the defeated Skrulls, and on the other were the incompetent natives of Planet C53. The only problem was the defection of their own team members.

This chaos also affected Hei Chao, who was hiding in the shadows. A three-man team was approaching his location.

Should I avoid it or face it head-on?

Considering the chaotic situation, it seemed foolish to waste time playing hide-and-seek instead of taking advantage of it. And with Nick Fury's unexpected death to be avoided, there wasn't much time left to do his own thing.

So Hei Chao decided to act boldly. First, he hid himself in a blind spot at the entrance, ready to surprise attack the Kree team.

Completely different from what's shown in the movies, the Kree soldiers also have their own set of tactics for hand-to-hand combat after boarding the ship. Instead of rushing into an open space recklessly, or jumping out from a corner before they can fully understand the situation, they will be in a dilemma.

Especially in the latter case, it was like treating themselves as sitting ducks. Even if their combat uniforms could provide limited bulletproofness, it was not enough to protect them from being hurt by any enemy attack.

However, they hadn't progressed to throwing grenades as a greeting before entering. In short, the three-person tactical team, from the moment they entered the room, each raised their guns and looked in different directions to ensure there were no enemies.

However, this tactical move only worked against regular enemies. Using super speed to run behind them, Black Super bounced off the wall and knocked down two of them with his fists before they could react. He then pounced on another.

The force of this punch, if used against an Earthling of the same size, would have been enough to knock them unconscious. But when facing the Kree, it felt a little lacking in strength.

The two men who were knocked to the ground fell down, but they still had the consciousness to stand up and raise their guns to continue fighting.

Hei Chao kicked each of them, giving them a concussion. He then kicked the third man's weapon away and stepped on him.

Because Black Chao was tightly wrapped and had no insignia or markings, nothing else could be seen except that he was definitely a humanoid creature.

The Kree, being trampled, yelled in his native language, but Black Super couldn't understand a word.

He left one person alive because he remembered that the Kree's wristband device had a universal translator that could translate the languages ​​of all intelligent creatures in the galaxy. Perhaps he could use it.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Hei Chao's voice came from the speaker in his throat.

But the Kree was still yelling. The impatient Black Superman slapped him twice, neither too hard nor too light, and he was silenced.

Pointing at the other person's wristband, Hei Chao said, "Translate."

Even though he couldn't understand Black Superman's words for the time being, this living Kree knew what to do. He immediately activated his cosmic translator and said, "Are you a native of Planet C53? You think you can trample on the pride of Kree warriors with impunity?"

Hei Chao saw another device that could be described as cutting-edge technology. This cosmic translator didn't just have a microphone and speaker to replace the original owner's voice and hearing. Instead, it allowed the user to directly speak and understand the target intelligent species' language...?

Or is this some kind of brain wave analysis that allows organisms to understand each other's intentions at a higher level?

Chapter 377: Translating Cree

"Can this device translate text?" Hei Chao grabbed the other person's arm and looked at the wristband on it.

The defeated Kree warrior was merely being stubborn. In response to the unknown figure's question, he honestly replied, "Through my translator, I can understand the writings of civilizations throughout the universe."

This was clearly not the answer Black Super was looking for. He had no choice but to ask, "Is there a comparison chart? Or a dictionary or something? Between the Kree language and... the language of the planet C53 you're talking about?"

"Why would we need that?" the Kree asked puzzled.

Well, that was something Hei Chao had taken for granted. They were a technologically advanced civilization, and their universal translator could solve all communication problems. So why would they need to learn a language?

Black Chao had no choice but to settle for the second best and asked, "Then how do I use this thing?" As he said that, he was about to peel off the Kree's wristband.

The Kree quickly protected his equipment and said, "You can't use this. Only the Kree bloodline can activate its functions."

Just as he was about to ask why Carol Danvers could be used, he remembered that her blood had been swapped by the Kree. Black Super didn't dwell on this point anymore.

Take the future of mobile phones, for example, which will have password locks, fingerprint unlocking, and facial recognition unlocking. The Kree's equipment is limited to personal use, so what's the problem with that?

Rather than wasting time cracking the code, Hei Chao picked up the still-living guy, walked over to the rebooted console screen, pointed at the text on it, and asked, "What does this line mean?"

"what do you mean?"

The Kree weren't like cats or tigers, who could lift people by the scruff of their necks. So Black Super simply grabbed the back of their necks and lifted them up. If you want to lift someone up, you can't let them get away, so the strength in your fingers can't be too weak.

This also requires not being able to knock the opponent unconscious or kill him, and of course not breaking his neck directly. Unable to gauge the physical strength of the Kree, Black Super treated the poor creature in his hand as a test subject and relaxed his grip before strangling him to death.

Therefore, the Kree people under the control of the black mask were extremely panicked. Even their voices were filled with fear, and they were just about to cry.

Seeing the device in his hand about to collapse, Hei Chao gave more direct instructions. "Read all the words on the screen. Wherever I point, you read. Don't make any mistakes, don't miss any, I can hear them."

Then he used his free finger to point to the words on the screen and asked the Cree to read them aloud.

After reading the content of one screen, Black Super will enter a certain option and let the Kree in his hand read the second screen.

Although he could not figure out how to pronounce the original Kree pronunciation of these words due to the conversion of the cosmic translator, with the help of the super brain, Black Super quickly deciphered the Kree words.

The Cree script is not a phonetic script like the most widely used scripts in the world's regions and cultures, but is like the Korean script Hangul, with consonants and vowels, used upright, horizontally, tilted or in combination to form a "character", and two or three characters form a word.

Different words can have one meaning when used as a verb, but a completely different meaning when used as a noun. Therefore, when understanding Kriwen, we shouldn't just take a word out of context; we need to understand it in context, in the entire sentence or paragraph.

Just like in Korean, "古寺" (ancient temple) and "goodbye" (farewell) are written the same way. Without context, it's impossible to understand the meaning of these two words. The same is true for Klein.

Someone provided a reference target for comparison, which certainly helped Hei Chao understand the Kree text. Apart from not knowing how to read it, he was gradually able to understand the content on the screen.

But someone always comes to interrupt the happy study time. A flying knife with high heat energy on the blade shoots out from the door!

Concentrating on deciphering the text, Hei Chao was almost about to let the prisoner in his hand take the knife instead of him. However, at the last critical moment, Hei Chao threw away the Kree who was strangled by him and dodged the flying knife himself.

"I didn't know there was a little bug on the cruiser. Where did you come from, you shady little guy?"

The people who came through the door were no longer ordinary Kree soldiers, but elite warriors of the Star Troopers. This was mainly reflected in their equipment, which was completely different from the general equipment of the ordinary soldiers.

He was a tall, blue-skinned Cree with a Viking-like beard. Compared to him, the average Cree was like a macaque compared to a silverback gorilla. This showed how strong he was.

He carried many different types of weapons and gadgets. Considering that some weapons had their blades hidden for safety, he could be considered a weapon master akin to a Predator.

With the appearance of such a threatening-looking Kree, Black Super certainly couldn't continue to immerse himself in deciphering the Kree text.

After basking in the yellow sun, Kryptonians can walk freely in the DC Universe. But this is the Marvel Universe after all, and Krypton is still the loser in the competition of cosmic power. Don't be careless and fall behind.

He took off the telescopic baton from his waist and swung it to his side! The baton, about arm-length long, was painted black, and it was no less striking than his own black attire.

The opponent, seemingly out of respect for the warrior, did not draw his gun, but instead took out a stick. However, the occasional flash of lightning lingering on the stick indicated that being hit by it would be more than just painful.

"Don't you have a name, little bug?"

"Black Super."

"Bron_Char."

They exchanged names and the battle began!

Like a brown bear, Blancha thrust his massive frame forward, attacking with alarming speed. His club swung downward like a mace, and even without considering the energy of the attack, the impact alone was deadly.

Black Super, at a dangerous distance, let the tip of the Kree's stick brush against his nose. He then used his baton to cleverly strike the inside of the opponent's arm, then hooked his knee, causing him to lose balance and send him flying.

The last time, the baton was used to hit the opponent's face, causing him to fall heavily to the ground!

The three moves were connected in a smooth and seamless manner. As soon as the fight started, Blancha suffered a great loss.

It’s just that the other side is indeed an elite interstellar team, and their physique is much better than that of ordinary Kree people.

Black Super had already increased his strength based on the Kree soldiers he had attacked before. However, when used on Blanche, this combo wasn't as effective as a mosquito bite; it only caused him to shake his head, and he was able to get up and fight again.

Black Super certainly didn't have any martial arts spirit or respect for his opponent's ideas. He simply wanted to gather as much physical information as possible about the Kree people so he could develop more effective and energy-saving tactics.

It's fun to always use a cannon to kill a mosquito, but it's also stupid.

But the man before him didn't seem like an ordinary Kree. He wondered if he had any mutant abilities. Unfortunately, Black Super didn't have much time to fight him off.

Because the first captive who helped him translate the Kree language had actually sent a distress signal to his companions when he activated the cosmic translator. This was why Blancha came to support him so quickly.

Blancha was only the first to arrive. Black Super sensed that more Kree were gathering towards him, so there was no time for boring games like "fight to your heart's content."

Before Blancha could take out a new weapon, Hei Chao quickly counterattacked, wrapped his baton around the opponent's arm, and then took advantage of the situation to slam the opponent towards the deck!

The tall and strong Kerry man crashed through the thin cabin board, and his whole body was stuck on the wall, with blue blood on his forehead.

Under the gaze of the Kree prisoner who had been thrown away earlier, Black Super, who had already won a great victory, ran away.

Chapter 378 Got something

Of course, Black Super's departure wasn't just due to the pursuit. It was mainly due to the information he had just received from the Kree's interpretation of the on-screen menu. Combined with the situation he had already understood, it gave him a clear idea of ​​where to find the item he was looking for and what it was.

Ma-Vell's laboratory had been completely transformed by the Skrulls who remained on board. No wonder I hadn't thought of looking there during my earlier reconnaissance.

Perhaps because of the boring life of being imprisoned for six years, the Skrulls living on this cruiser not only built a light cultivation room to grow plants to slow down the consumption of stored food.

They also modified the uses of some cabins and machines to make them more suitable for supporting their long-term residence, forming a self-sufficient living circle.

Perhaps the only machine that remained untouched was the extraction machine that held the Cosmic Cube in place. However, it was placed in that empty room, which was definitely not its original location.

The main laboratory was converted into a breeding room. The plants in the light cultivation room all had their seedlings synthesized from the breeding room.

The Skrulls had a way to produce their own food during this period, but it didn't mean that there was a seed bank on the cruiser that could continuously produce high-quality seedlings and then cultivate them.

When the Kree or Skrull civilizations reached their peak, they no longer used seed banks to preserve diverse biological types. Instead, they used gene banks, just like the Kryptonian Codex.

It's just that this gene bank covers a wider range, not just the human DNA of the Kree or Skrulls. It covers all types of plants and animals, preserving their DNA selectively, and is not limited to species on the Skrull home planet.

Moreover, their genetic technology is so advanced that as long as they know the genetic code of a species, they can use raw materials for synthetic production.

Raw materials are biological matrices synthesized by chemical decomposition of excrement, residual residues that cannot be used by plants, and decomposition of food residues.

This actually simulates the ecological cycle of nature. However, they are all trapped on this cruiser. Many of the tasks that nature should perform, they can only use technology to replace, in order to maintain the fragile ecosystem within the ship and prolong everyone's life.

Unlike ordinary ships that rely on supplies to keep passengers alive, this is why this Kree cruiser cannot support too many people.

The room was filled with various plants, causing Hei Chao to subconsciously neglect further investigation. He also failed to discover earlier that this compartment, unrelated to the ship's navigation and life support systems, was actually where Kree scientist Ma Will conducted research.

Because Captain Marvel had gone ballistic, a brief power outage on the cruiser had given the imprisoned Skrulls a chance to escape. Two humans, including Nick Fury and Maria Rambeau, had already begun their escape.

The Kree soldiers who had originally dispersed to sweep all the cabins on the cruiser first gathered in the cabin where Black Chao had appeared before; now they were ordered to intercept the fleeing Skrulls.

The advantage of this is that the Kree soldiers' range of action is relatively concentrated, and Hei Chao naturally chooses a passage away from the crowd to head to his destination.

The reason for not considering using super speed to pass by these aliens is that we are not sure whether they have the experience and equipment to deal with speedsters.

After all, it is an unfamiliar high-tech civilization, and what Black Chao knows is only the part shown in movies, TV shows and comics, not the full picture of this civilization.

If you don't want to gamble that the other party doesn't have it, or if they do, they don't have it with them, taking a detour is the safest option. Ideally, you'd want to avoid any contact with aliens and avoid excessive exposure.

After a safe journey, they arrived at their destination, Ma-Vell's laboratory. Among a pile of seedlings, Hei Chao spotted his target.

He also determined what the Kree technology used to store data looked like. It was a transparent glass object cut into a polyhedron, or perhaps an irregular shape. Records were recorded and erased using light of a specific wavelength.

So the appearance of this thing looks like turbid and inferior crystal. Who can imagine that it contains the knowledge of advanced civilization.

He removed the largest storage crystal and examined it with his black mask. It was about the size of a fist, a regular icosahedron, and the most regular and complex of the fourteen crystals in the lab.

There were seven other irregular shapes, two star-shaped dodecahedrons, three diamond-cut ones, and one cylindrical hexagon. Some were mounted on access points with thirty-six probes providing full circumferential illumination; others were stored in cabinets.

In fact, those irregular shapes might have been brought by the Skrulls. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the same thing has two different design styles.

Moreover, from the similarities in technology between the two empires, we can know that these two cosmic empires are not accidental encounters in the dark forest.

According to the official origin story, the Skrull Empire existed before the Kree Empire, but the Skrulls arrived on the planet Hala in the Large Magellanic Cloud and discovered two types of intelligent life.

Considering themselves a superior and advanced civilization, the Skrulls decided to test the two groups to decide which one to support and which one to eliminate.

Who knew that this group of Skrull observation team members were attacked and defeated by the Kree who knew the inside story; and another group of observation targets, the Cotati, were massacred by the Kree.

Seizing the technology left behind by the Skrull Observation Team, the Kree quickly grew and developed into a military empire. This initial contact also led to their antagonism with the Skrull Empire, which lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Let's not discuss for now which planet's orbital period is used as the basis for the "year" here.

To this day, the Skrull Empire has been destroyed and the Skrull race has fallen apart.

In some ways, this is quite similar to the ongoing war between the United States and Britain after the United States gained independence. However, in the end, the United States on Earth didn't destroy the British Isles and hunt John Bull around the world. But the Kree in the universe did.

In short, the two alien races were not good people. Black Super had no psychological burden at all when robbing them.

So Black Chao didn't confirm the contents and just took all the storage crystals, whether they were Kree or Skrull cards.

I have suffered so much from the warm hospitality of the Skrulls, how can I not take some benefits in return?

With Captain Marvel on their side today, it's hard to turn against them too completely. Furthermore, this Kree cruiser will eventually fall into the hands of the Skrulls.

I just took some things that had nothing to do with the navigation function and didn't destroy the engine and turn it into a space coffin. I was already very conscientious.

Besides, if I give them an excuse to stay on Earth, I will be the one who is in trouble.

In fact, Hei Chao was seriously considering whether to take a set of Kerry brand read/write heads. Although building such a thing is not difficult, there are ready-made ones right in front of us. And there is no need to adjust the wavelength of the light yourself.

However, carrying a bag of more than ten crystals already made Hei Chao, who was lightly packed, look like a thief who had made a great harvest. If he took another machine, it would confirm his image as a thief who came to move.

Although he really wanted to do so, the Qua jet that had separated from the Kree cruiser had already been besieged by Kree fighter planes in space.
