Capítulo 304: Chapter 302 Dangerous
*Beep, Beep...*
The communicator on Raina's body suddenly rang. Under Lorna's eager gaze, Raina quickly took out the communicator and answered the call.
A soft blue light expanded into a clear projection, displaying a small robotic figure in the air. It grinned and said, "Good morning, ladies."
"Good? You wish. Where is the Boss? Is he with you? If you don't tell us now, I'll dismantle your parts," Lorna's elegant eyebrows raised slightly as she spoke while radiating an icy aura.
Vis coughed, and its original body was composed of iron and Vibranium metal, a combination that Lorna, who had control over magnetic fields, happened to be a nemesis for. It didn't dare to hide anything and said somewhat helplessly, "I am indeed with the Boss. However, we have already left New York."
Raina pursed his lips, pondering, "For Boss to leave so suddenly, and even have you deliver the message, something urgent must have happened. What's going on?"
Vis replied, "I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons. The Boss decided to leave this morning on short notice, and it caught both me and Venom off guard."
"Where has he gone? I'll be on my way now," Lorna, brimming with anticipation, had been trying to get Kyle to go out for a while, but he had ignored her. Now, with Kyle voluntarily leaving the building, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"He has already reached his destination, the Mexico area," Vis said solemnly. "The Boss wanted me to inform you that there's no need for you to come over. Stay in New York for the next couple of days; something important might happen."
"That's so boring," Lorna crossed her arms and huffed in frustration.
"Something important? Didn't we deal with Hydra six months ago?" Raina, his mind sharp, grasped the key point in Vis's message.
"This time, the issue is likely not originating from within the Earth," Vis said in a serious tone, pointing with its mechanical finger to the clear blue sky above, a sky without any hindrances.
Raina widened his beautiful eyes and muttered softly, "Are those enemies Boss mentioned before finally coming?"
"They've arrived just in time, and I'm feeling very bored. In the past six months, I've significantly improved my skills," Lorna said excitedly. Vis's internal chip shuddered silently for the impending extraterrestrial invaders.
Lifeforms from outer space probably had no idea how dangerous Earth had become.
On the other side of the world, near the town of Puente Antiguo in Mexico.
Under the intense, scorching sun, for miles around, there were nothing but barren deserts filled with weeds. The slightest breeze raised detestable whirlwinds of dust.
In this region, there were barely any towns or villages, let alone cities. The buildings in the small town were simple and reminiscent of a modern Western style and it looked as if a cowboy on horseback might come out at any moment.
A large bus-like tour bus was parked at the town's entrance. The bus was stocked with various camping gear, detection equipment, clothing, and food supplies. In the driver's and co-driver's seats, two young girls dressed in trendy jeans and casual leather jackets sat.
They appeared to be in their early twenties, not long after graduating from college.
The girl in the driver's seat, with a cute and pretty face, remained solemn and focused on operating the equipment, checking the notebook for recorded detection data.
The girl in the co-driver's seat wore red-tinted glasses and had a mature and highly intellectual charm. Her face was relaxed and nonchalant, and she held a lollipop in her mouth while resting her feet lazily on the bus's steering wheel.
Even in a bustling metropolis, both of them would be considered exceptional beauties. Yet, at this moment, they appeared somewhat disheveled and work-worn, huddled in the car like workaholics.
"Jane, do you really think your mentor will come here?" The girl with glasses looked out at the boundless wilderness outside, asking with disinterest.
"Darcy, I've answered that eight times already."
The girl known as Jane helplessly looked up from her notebook and firmly said, "I sent the data we collected to my mentor last night, and he agreed to help. He said he'll arrive in this town later tonight and join us for a second round of exploration."
"Well, then, let's wait a little longer," Darcy pushed her glasses up and sighed. "You're the one working on an astronomy research project. I'm an economics major; I should be at the hotel, relaxing in the sauna. Why did I end up in this godforsaken place with you, eating dust?"
Jane comforted her, "I'll treat you to a big meal when we go back. Just hang in there for a few more days. We might obtain the data we're looking for tonight, and we could plan to return in the next few days."
"I hope so," Darcy said. Suddenly, she heard the engine of a car, so she leaned her head out of the window wearing a duckbill cap. She saw an old Ford car driving towards the town, raising dust all the way.
"Jane, is that your mentor?" Darcy asked.
"It could be. Let's get out of the car and have a look," Jane replied.
Jane called Darcy, and the two of them got off the tour bus. When they arrived at the front of the car, the Ford car had stopped right next to them.
"Miss Foster, you really know how to create trouble for people," The car door opened, and a middle-aged man with white hair slicked back and dressed in plain, dark-toned clothing stepped out with a smile.
"Professor, thank you so much for coming," Jane smiled faintly and quickly went to greet him, pointing to Darcy behind her, signaling, "This is my good friend, Darcy."
"Hello, Professor," Darcy politely waved her hand and set aside the lollipop she had been holding.
"This is my university mentor, Professor Erik Selvig," Jane introduced the middle-aged man to Darcy.
"Hello, Darcy. Just call me Erik; there's no need for all that professor stuff when we're out here," Erik was very approachable, and his face had wrinkles that added a youthful vigor.
Jane quickly said, "Now that everyone is here, let's head into town. After dinner, we can prepare to go to the survey site."
Erik stopped her with a wave of his hand, saying, "Jane, don't rush. I have another guest in my car."
"Another guest?" Both Jane and Darcy were taken aback.
"That's right," Erik nodded and turned to the Ford car. He spoke towards the slightly lowered backseat window, "Mr. Carl, can you please get out of the car? I'd like to introduce you to these two students on this trip."
The person in the car didn't respond. However, after a brief moment, the car door abruptly opened.
A tall young man with silver hair, mixed with strands of red, wearing slightly oversized sunglasses, and draped in a black trench coat that reached down to his shins, stepped out of the car while walking with boots.
It was none other than Kyle.
"This is one of my friends, the head of a high-tech company," Erik paused for a moment and nearly slipped up but continued with an awkward smile, "He and I met at a research conference once. He saw the data and materials you sent yesterday and became interested, so he wanted to come and see the site in person."
Kyle scanned the two young girls behind his sunglasses and smiled gently, saying, "You can call me Carl. I hope this trip goes well."
