"Oh? The Oldest House..."

Li Chao stroked his chin. He hadn't played this game, but he had watched a few UP masters on BLi station play it in his previous life. It was said to be similar to that S-named foundation.

Placing his hand on the card, a massive amount of information was instantly read by him. Opening his eyes, a hint of joy flashed across Li Chao's face.

"This organization is good. Whether it's used for causing trouble or exploring unknown dimensions, it can bring great gains..."

As for the other card, [Rank A Item Card: Kusanagi Blood (Enhanced Version)].

His impression of that game still remained in the arcade era. Judging from the game screen alone, it was indeed difficult to distinguish strength.

But considering the BOSS Orochi, NESTS, Distant Ancestors, Outer Gods, etc. they faced, an A-rank rating was normal, right?

"Since that's the case..."

Raising his eyes, Li Chao looked through the dimensions towards the direction of Antarctica on Earth.

There, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s smiling angel, Coulson, was directing everyone to dig something on the ice...

......

Antarctica.

With an area of 13.9 million square kilometers and an average altitude of 2,350 meters, it is the highest continent in the world.

28 countries have established 53 scientific research stations here, with an average temperature of -25 degrees Celsius, making it a forbidden zone for humans.

S.H.I.E.L.D., temporary base.

"Huh... I can't believe that Captain America, who has been asleep for 70 years, is still alive!"

Standing next to Captain America, a team member looked at the instrument in his hand. The numbers on it showed the other party's physical data.

Even after 70 years, Captain America's body is still very healthy.

"He is only in a state of self-hibernation due to prolonged ice sealing. Now that the environment has changed, he will wake up in a short time."

Looking at Captain America's peaceful appearance, Coulson couldn't be happier.

He has always been a fan of Captain America. Being able to see the real person with his own eyes, and also confirming that the other party is still alive, how could he not be excited?

Not just him, everyone on the scene grew up listening to Captain America's stories.

Their faces flushed with excitement, as if they had already seen the shock that Captain America's return would bring to the world.

It wasn't until a few gunshots suddenly came from outside the camp that everyone suddenly came back to their senses and followed Coulson out of the camp.

Bang!

As soon as they came out, they saw a helicopter hovering at low altitude in front of them. A pilot in the co-pilot's seat was holding a sniper rifle and shooting an Alaskan dog.

The dog's movements were quite agile, constantly changing direction in the snow, so that every bullet fired landed on the ground.

Bang! Bang!

After several consecutive misses, the sniper obviously became bloodshot, throwing grenades from the plane.

But even so, it still didn't take the life of the Alaskan dog. It seemed to have its own dodge skill, and with a change of pace, it immediately rushed towards Coulson and his team.

Whoosh!

Some team members raised their guns and looked at Coulson, indicating whether to stop it. Coulson glanced at the Norwegian flag on the plane's cabin door and shook his head silently.

"Don't worry, let's see what happens first."

Da da da da...

Seeing the dog enter the crowd, the plane didn't dare to shoot randomly. After hovering above for a while, it could only fall from the air and stop not far from everyone.

"Sir, we are members of the American National Scientific Research Institute, maybe we can..."

With a friendly temperament, Coulson took a step forward and spread his hands, trying to communicate with the other party.

Bang!

As a result, the man didn't appreciate it, jumped out of the plane, and raised his hand to shoot.

This shot accurately demonstrated his marksmanship, not hitting the dog, but hitting a team member 3 meters away from the dog in the leg.

That person was also miserable, not expecting the other party to be so bold and suddenly shoot, and his marksmanship was so bad.

With a pain in his calf, he fell to the ground with a thud, screaming in pain.

Some colleagues saw that the other party was so barbaric and immediately shot at him.

The man didn't know what he was crazy about, took out a grenade and wanted to throw it over, but was shot a few times, and the grenade didn't throw out and fell at his feet.

Boom—!

Accompanied by an explosion.

Not only was he blown to pieces, but even the plane next to him exploded.

[Emotional value from Phil Coulson +863]

"......"

Frowning, Coulson quickly called everyone to go up and put out the flames on the plane with snow.

A team member carefully got on the plane, groped for a while, and found a black briefcase from it.

Coulson had no intention of looking at this now. He immediately returned to the camp, reported the situation on the scene to Nick Fury in America via radio.

"Director Fury, this is Coulson, we have some situation here..."

In any case, according to the flag and words on the plane, the other party was very likely to be official personnel from Norway. If not handled properly, it would cause a major diplomatic incident.

Nick Fury listened to his narration, didn't say much, just told him that the plane to pick them up had already departed and would arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow.

At the same time, in a certain room in the camp.

Captain America's right pinky finger trembled slightly imperceptibly.

Click.

Hanging up the phone, Coulson breathed a sigh of relief.

He called a subordinate and instructed him to inform everyone of the news of returning home the day after tomorrow, then returned to his room and began to check the briefcase searched from the helicopter.

As for his subordinates, they gathered together to discuss what happened just now.

"No matter how you guess, it's not worth it to risk your life for a dog!"

"Is that Norwegian crazy?"

"Forget about him, we're leaving the day after tomorrow anyway!"

"That's right, let's drink..."

"......"

And in the corner they couldn't see, an Alaskan dog was quietly coming in from outside the door. It explored all the way forward and soon came to a room.

Through the shadow on the ground, the person in the room seemed to turn back in surprise.

The next second.

Crack.

The lights went out suddenly, and the room fell into dead silence.

......

The next day, at 8:00 AM sharp.

Coulson summoned the four people to accompany him on a drive to the Norwegian research institute.

By reading the documents seized from the plane, Coulson learned that not long ago, people from the Norwegian research institute had salvaged an ice coffin from under the ice.

Inside it, they found something mysterious.

As for what it was, the content of the document had been heavily smeared and modified, making it difficult to confirm.

As for the remaining text, it was all incomprehensible nonsense, as if the person who wrote the document had entered a state of mental trance, with the beginning and the end not matching.

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was necessary to go and confirm it.

After about an hour, the group arrived at the Norwegian research institute.

But it had already become ruins, covered in ice and snow.

The five people spent some time carefully entering the research institute, the scene was quiet, and no one was there.

Pushing open a door, they found a huge ice coffin.

"There should be something in here, but it's gone now."

Walking around the ice coffin, Coulson immediately thought of the content of the document.

"Captain Coulson, there's a person outside... no, it's a corpse!"

A team member rushed in from outside the door, shouting to Coulson.

Hearing this, Coulson asked him to lead the way, and they walked outside to find a corpse on the snow.

This corpse was very strange, not only were the joints twisted, but the proportions of the arms and legs were also not right.

Most importantly, he was burned to death... in this freezing weather?

A trace of unease rose in his heart, Coulson pondered for a while, and ordered.

"Pack up this corpse and take it away, I'll have Doctor Blair investigate it."

Afterwards, Coulson searched the scene again, and he clearly found traces of multiple firefights.

Was it an opposing force, or......

He thought of the empty ice coffin again, and naturally connected everything together. If other forces had also discovered the items inside the ice coffin, it was possible that the two sides had fought in order to compete for that thing.

But these were just guesses, and he had to fly back to America early tomorrow morning.

Considering the importance of Captain America, Coulson didn't want to meddle too much in other people's affairs. They took a few photos of the scene, then recorded a video, and hurriedly packed up the remains of the deceased and quickly returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. stationed camp.

As soon as they came back, they found that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy.

Everyone gathered together, their faces mixed with fear, discussing the corpse of a monster.

Coulson stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and everyone explained to him in a flurry of words.

Not long after they left, that Alaskan dog attacked several hunting dogs in their camp, and then transformed into a monster and ate them.

Everyone busied around and finally killed it with a flamethrower.

After studying the monster's blood, Doctor Blair came to a conclusion.

This creature has extremely strong vitality. Even if it has been burned, its cells still have considerable activity.

Moreover, research shows that the monster's body cells have a strong "infectivity". Once they invade a living organism from the outside, they will assimilate and devour the host's cells.

Considering that the other party had turned into an Alaskan dog before, he boldly speculated that this monster could allow its cells to enter the host's body through external "infection", and then eat the host and disguise itself as the host's original appearance, and even be able to obtain the host's memory.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to perform the demeanor of a dog so vividly.

This guess brought a very terrible conjecture.

That is, after they brought the dog into the camp yesterday, a full day has passed. During this day, there is a high possibility that other people have been "infected".

In other words, among the people on the scene, there is a high probability that there is a "person" transformed from a monster?

"Hiss......"

Coulson gasped, feeling that this conjecture was extremely terrifying, making his hair stand on end.

"Is there any way, Doctor Blair?"

They couldn't rashly return to New York without determining whether they were infected, which would bring great risks to New York.

"It can be distinguished by serum testing.

Just draw everyone's blood and mix it with the blood in the blood bank. If it is a human, there will be no reaction.

If it is a monster, because its cells are different from humans, even if it is disguised, there will be obvious rejection reactions."

After thinking for a while, Doctor Blair, who was short and fat, pushed his glasses and gave a solution.

Coulson's order was quite decisive. After realizing the harm that this creature might cause to them, he immediately gathered everyone and prepared to carry out the serum test as instructed by the doctor.

But an accident happened at the scene. One person was not here. Everyone hurriedly checked and found that he was destroying the blood bank, pouring all the blood in the blood bank on the ground.

Suddenly, Doctor Blair's plan was declared bankrupt before it even started.

"Catch him!"

Coulson shouted and shot at his calf. The man's face suddenly split to both sides like an orange peel, and hideous tentacles sprang out from inside.

Monster?!

Coulson was shocked and found that the bullets shot at the monster were not effective, so he quickly picked up the flamethrower carried by a team member and burned him to death.

Watching the monster scream and struggle in the fire, his face was very ugly, and he turned back to look at everyone. The expressions of those people were different. Analyzing from the facial expressions alone, it was difficult to judge whether it was a human or a monster?

"Doctor Blair?"

Coulson frowned and looked at the doctor, hoping there were other testing methods.

"......Sorry."

After thinking for a while, Doctor Blair shook his head, and Doctor Blair's words made Coulson very disappointed.

[From Phil Coulson's emotional value +963]

"......"

The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing, panic spread to every corner of the space, and fear blocked everyone's heart. As the logistics engineering members of S.H.I.E.L.D., none of them were fools, and they quickly analyzed the situation at the scene.

Crash!

Their figures changed rapidly, and everyone quickly distanced themselves from the people on both sides, and the suspicion and vigilance in their eyes were clearly visible.

"......"

Coulson opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could do for the time being. He could only tell his subordinates to stay in the hall, monitor each other, and not move around at will.

He came to the office alone, first reported to Director Fury via radio, and then came to Captain America's room and locked the doors and windows tightly.

After doing all this, Coulson glanced at Captain America and silently sat beside him with a gun.

Whoosh——

The ice and snow outside the window beat against the glass, and the howling cold wind was like a wolf with murderous intent, and the yellow light from above shone on him, immersing his face in darkness.

Pursing his lips, Coulson subconsciously tightened the gun in his hand.

"Captain... tonight, I will guard you......"
