Early the next morning, Merlin took his assistant Hill, along with Dr. Qin Ze and Miss Vivian, on a jet plane organized by the emperor, all the way east from Mona Island, across the Atlantic Ocean.

After a long 13-hour flight, they took a break in Dubai, a large city in the Middle East, and then flew directly to Bangkok, Thailand.

After a simple Thai-style breakfast, the group changed to a large helicopter and headed to the mysterious island in the South Pacific.

The area where ancient Titans are located is highly confidential.

The Skull Island where the mysterious KONG is located cannot be found on the ordinary map. Only by following the map within the emperor's organization can the location of Skull Island be accurately found in the hairy archipelago of the South Pacific.

Merlin was now in the cabin of the helicopter, carefully watching the flat map in front of him.

In the center of the map, that is, on the edge of the South Pacific, there is a mark of the emperor organization, where the Skull Island is located.

"It is far from the mainland, and it is also a long distance from the nearest residential island."

Dr. Qin Ze sat opposite Merlin. He pointed to the marker on the map and said to Merlin:

"Like an "ecological island" in the concept of biology, there is a completely different ecological system from the outside. We suspect that it is because of this closure that the ecology of the Skull Island has stayed in ancient times, so the KONG ethnic group hides Only after a long period of ecological evolution can we survive."

Merlin nodded, and he focused on another issue.

"Although it is remote, it has not been discovered for so many years. There will always be merchant ships passing by the nearby waters, so I am curious. After the exploration in 1973, how did you keep the secret of Skull Island? ?"

Merlin looked at Dr. Qin Ze, he asked:

"Is it a military restricted zone? Or another method? And if KONG belongs to the ancient Titan like Raton, then relying on an island with its size can't hide it."

"KONG is a larvae Titan."

Vivian Graham, beside Dr. Qin Ze, said to Merlin:

"According to the information brought back by our members in 1973, KONG was only about 100 feet tall at that time. With the mountain structure inside Skull Island, KONG can completely hide and survive."

"An ancient Titan like it has an extremely long period of growth. According to Dr. Serizawa’s estimation, it may take hundreds of years for KONG to truly reach maturity. According to some of what we collected on Skull Island From the information point of view, the adult body of KONG is likely to exceed 200 feet in height, and will also exceed 20,000 or even 30,000 tons in weight."

Vivienne put a photo in front of Merlin, she said:

"KONG is different from other Titans. At present, it has not yet become a real top predator. In fact, we built an observation laboratory on Skull Island not only to study KONG's habits, but also to protect it."

"protection?"

Merlin picked up the photo, which was a black-and-white photo. On the photo, an upright gorilla covered with brown-black mane was standing between the mountains. It is no different from the gorillas Merlin has seen before. The only thing that catches the eye is its height.

In contrast to the surrounding mountains, this gorilla is at least 30 meters tall...

It may not be as powerful as Godzilla, who raised his head from the sea, but it is definitely more powerful than Raton, currently sleeping in a volcano.

Merlin also noticed that in this photo, the orangutan named KONG had obvious scars on his left arm.

He handed the photo to Agent Hill and then looked at Vivienne, he said:

"You mean, now KONG can be hurt or even killed?"

"Yes."

Dr. Qin Ze nodded, he said heavily:

"The exploratory operation in 1973 was unsuccessful. This is a secret within the empire and is why we have refused to cooperate with the military afterwards. In the exploratory operation in 1973, a guardian of the team, but extremely paranoid The Vietnam War veterans almost killed KONG... which is why KONG hates outsiders very much."

There was a trace of regret and regret in Dr. Qin Ze's eyes. He said:

"KONG has his own wisdom, because of its racial characteristics, its intelligence and humanoid, should be the highest of all Titans. We had the opportunity to establish a friendly contact relationship with KONG. Personal behavior, we have completely lost all this."

"So, what happened in 1973?"

Merlin asked:

"If KONG is really as intelligent as you said, he should have a strong heart of revenge after being hurt by humans. Your laboratory cannot be located on Skull Island...so, I guess, In addition to the damage to KONG, the 1973 story should have other hidden feelings, right?"

"There are all kinds of people in this world, Dr. Merlin."

Zeqin Shiro took off his glasses and rubbed his forehead while saying:

"Some people want to hurt others, bless their sufferings and losses on other creatures, and show their existence with violence. There will definitely be people who are kind to all, willing to save disasters in all peaceful ways, and even take risks for this. Sacrifice yourself."

"In the 1973 expedition, in addition to the crazy colonel, there were our predecessors. When the colonel tried to kill KONG, they gave KONG help, and let KONG successfully fight back the most terrifying early life. enemy."

"KONG remembers this help, so the laboratory organized by the emperor can be established on the edge of Skull Island. But KONG also remembered the damage, so our inspectors could not go inland. Similar to the research experiment on Raton, From 1973 to the present, our laboratory in Skull Island has hardly found much valuable information."

Dr. Serizawa raised his head, this always polite Japanese looked at Merlin, he said softly:

"We urgently hope to make progress in the research of KONG."

"You have to understand, Merlin, if there is a real battle between Titans in the future, then the ancient Titan most likely to stand on the human side is KONG."

The doctor's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and even pleading, he said to Merlin:

"In my opinion, perhaps, KONG is the hope of the future of human civilization."

"So, you invited us to Skull Island, not just for inspection and evaluation, right?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and Agent Hill next to him also understood Dr. Serizawa's plan.

Obviously, Merlin's hand in the Mona Island laboratory showed Dr. Qin Ze the hope of experimental breakthrough. He generously opened the second project organized by the emperor to Merlin, and also hoped to get the help of Dr. Merlin to help them. Progress has also been made in the Skull Island laboratory.

"Yes."

Dr. Qin Ze nodded, he said to Merlin:

"Compared to the volcanic Titan on Mona Island, Dr. Merlin, I believe you will find more on Skull Island. The ecological environment there still maintains the style of hundreds of thousands of years ago, and there are many strange things besides KONG. Creatures, the food chain there is very different from the outside world. For an excellent heterogeneous researcher like you, there is definitely heaven!"

"I can authorize the Skull Island laboratory to be shared with your research team..."

Dr. Qin Ze Shen Sheng said:

"We can help each other! As long as you keep the secrets about Skull Island and KONG."

Merlin was not angry, in fact he was not angry at all, and this result was expected. There is no doubt that the emperor organization is using him.

But this is also what Merlin wants to see.

He needed to produce an accurate assessment report, he had to break into the emperor's organization, and now he did it.

As Dr. Qin Ze said, this is a relationship of mutual help.

And is it not normal to be exploited in the adult world?

If you don’t want to be used, then it becomes waste. No one will pay attention to waste.

"I have to visit Skull Island first."

Merlin showed the rigor the researcher deserves, he did not pack the ticket, he said:

"Can I help you, only after I have visited the field will I know."

"We will reach Skull Island in 50 minutes."

Vivienne looked down at the watch on her wrist and she said to Merlin and Hill:

"When I get closer to Skull Island, there may be some bumps. I confirm in advance, shouldn't both be seasick?"

"Ok?"

Vivienne's question puzzled both Merlin and Hill. They are flying now, what does this have to do with seasickness?

This doubt continued until 40 minutes later, on the edge of the endless South Pacific Ocean, a few kilometers in front of the helicopter on the sea, something caught the attention of Merlin and Hill.

"Shet!"

Hill looked at something like this, and the always calm female agent couldn't help whispering at this moment.

Beside her, Merlin's expression was not very beautiful.

He finally knew how the emperor organization hid the existence of Skull Island.

Very simple, they don't need to hide at all...

Nature may especially love these Titans, so it gives Skull Island and KONG a perfect disguise.

In the sea ahead, a giant tornado that winds from the sea to the sky is now there. In the hurricane that can easily destroy a city, there are clouds like flames, and thick lightning that is constantly lit in the clouds. . The light of those lightnings illuminates this giant tornado from inside, making it look like the entrance to hell.

Under the impetus of the hurricane, the surrounding sea water can easily swell up to several meters of huge waves. In such a sea water vortex, no ship can be close to it.

Any sensible captain will avoid this storm, which is why Skull Island is still not known to the outside world until it is discovered.

"No one knows when this storm appeared."

Dr. Qin Ze stood up, clutching the bulkhead of the helicopter with his hand. On the increasingly bumpy plane, he said to Merlin:

"Since the first time we discovered Skull Island through military satellites in 1973, the storm has never ceased until now. It is like a weather phenomenon unique to Skull Island. It never increases or weakens."

"This is not normal!"

Merlin pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and he said to Dr. Qin Ze:

"Even if I don't know anything about meteorology, I know that there must be something weird on the island that sustains this year-round storm... You have studied there for decades, have you found anything?"

"We cannot go inland."

Dr. Qin Ze looked at the horrific hurricane that was getting older and closer, he said:

"But some of my friends who have geology research suspect that somewhere in Skull Island, there is a passage to the underground hollow world of the Earth's mantle layer. They believe that Skull Island is the air flow of the underground world and the surface world. One of the passages of the road is precisely because of the airflow generated by those passages deep underground, which caused this hurricane to not disperse all year round."

"But we have no evidence."

"Well, it's interesting."

A light flashed in Merlin's eyes, he said:

"If this is really the entrance to the underground world... then we have to actually take a field trip."

The helicopter was getting closer and closer to the hurricane group in front of him, and Agent Hill's breathing became more and more rapid. This is normal. Any normal person will feel a subconscious fear when they see a very large hurricane group enough to destroy a city.

Not to mention, they now have to take a helicopter swaying in the wind and enter the eyes of the storm...

This is just looking for death.

"Sit firmly!"

The pilot on the helicopter shouted towards the rear:

"I hope we won't be struck by lightning, friends."

The next moment, the accelerated helicopter rushed into the hurricane.

But unexpectedly, the violent wind that should be raging in the storm does not exist. Although the wind in the storm group looks horror, it is not very destructive, and it can even be called mild.

Merlin, who was ready to meet the impact, opened his eyes violently. He looked at the wonders surrounded by dense fog. He could feel the helicopter's shell blown and clicked, but it was still in this wind. Maintain direction.

The appearance of this group of hurricanes is full of destructive appearance, but in fact it is just a frightening thing.

The plane is very bumpy, like the feeling when playing drifting, and the shaking makes it almost impossible to maintain a standing posture. No wonder Vivienne just asked Merlin and Hill if they were seasick.

The feeling now is almost the same as sitting on a ship and crossing a storm. The continuous waves of shock make the head hurt.

Merlin could still insist, but the hill around him was pale and shaky. Merlin reached out to hold Hill's body and leaned her tightly against herself. Hill also subconsciously hugged his chief.

In this turbulent storm, Merlin's body was sitting very steady, just like a pillar.

After a few minutes of hardship, accompanied by a cheer from the pilot, the helicopter also rushed from the hurricane group into the calm winds with a trace of disturbed smoke.

Merlin opened his eyes, and a calm and beautiful scenery came into view. The sun shining on this isolated island reflected the golden light, which made people unable to hold their breath.

"Skeleton Island."

Merlin looked at the lush mountains and lakes flashing under the plane, and he said softly:

"I'm coming..."
