"Look who it is? The missing person we've been looking for, the famous Hawkeye, Agent Clint Barton." The man walked up to Barton, looking down at him with a flippant tone. "How did you end up in this state? Director Fury thought you had died in the line of duty and was just about to approve your pension."
"Brock Rumlow, I really didn't expect you to be leading the team." Barton called out the man's name coldly, his eyes full of vigilance. "Since you recognize me, why haven't you told your men to lower their weapons? My clearance is Level 7; I have the right to take command of the scene."
"Oh, don't try to pull rank on me, Officer." Rumlow shrugged, speaking with a fake smile. "This is a special zone under the jurisdiction of Monarch, and we just detected Titan-level energy fluctuations. According to the Security Council's emergency protocols, until bio-contamination and parasitic infection are ruled out, you're just another survivor who needs to be quarantined."
After saying this, he ignored Barton and turned away. Those cold, sinister eyes began to scan the beach, as if searching for prey. Strange, the tattered Doctor, looked very annoyed. Banner, the physicist with broken glasses, looked exhausted. A little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen, dirty and extremely weak....
"Take them all to the plane. Put them in the isolation chambers." Rumlow waved his hand and turned to look at the massive footprint on the beach.
Just then, a middle-aged Asian man in a gray suit and glasses, accompanied by several researchers in white lab coats, hurried down from the Osprey transport plane. He didn't even look at the survivors; his gaze fell directly onto those miraculous footprints on the beach.
"Instead of giving a hard time to a few survivors, I think you should be more concerned about this." The middle-aged man pushed up his glasses, his eyes full of awe. "The monitoring data is correct; it has awakened. Every inch of land here, every corpse, is invaluable research material. Do not ruin the scene with your crude boots."
"Dr. Serizawa." Upon seeing the man, Rumlow clicked his tongue in annoyance but waved for his men to step back. Ishiro Serizawa, the soul of Monarch. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury had to give him some respect.
"Fine, Dr., we will seal off the entire island." Rumlow said impatiently. "You can take your time studying the dung of these giant monsters. I'm taking these survivors back to finish my job."...
The Quinjet's ramp slowly closed, sealing out the island's humid, blood-scented air. As the engines roared, a strong force pushed them back into their seats as the plane lifted off, leaving the nightmarish Skull Island behind. Through the porthole, Alice took one last look at the island isolated deep in the ocean. The clouds gathered again, once more obscuring the lost World. It was like a secret that didn't want to be disturbed by the civilized World, quietly dormant in a corner of the Pacific.
"Goodbye, Kong. Goodbye, my newbie village." Alice said a silent goodbye in her heart. Although this month had been like hell, there was no denying that this was also the place where she was reborn and transformed.
Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was not light. This was not a comfortable passenger plane, but a military transport aircraft filled with the cold texture of metal. Alice, Strange, Banner, and Barton sat side-by-side on the simple seats along one side of the cabin. Several special forces soldiers sat opposite them, cradling their rifles, their eyes beneath their masks watching everyone indifferently. Rumlow sat in the co-pilot's seat, reporting to headquarters via headset, ignoring the survivors behind him. It was Dr. Serizawa, sitting in the front row, who turned around and broke the silence.
