Chapter 784: Gaining a firm foothold

"I am a fortune teller and know something about all kinds of things in the world. If you don't believe it, you can draw a tarot card and I can make a summary of your recent fortune..."

Tao Yu took out a set of Tarot cards in her hand and opened them in a fan shape to indicate to the other party to draw one.

"Soothsayer..."

Captain Lanskin didn't believe Tao Yu's words, so he came over and randomly drew out a chariot card.

"You are an excellent warrior from Atlantis. You must have won an important duel recently. Judging from the way your fingers are drawn, you must have won love."

Tao Yu looked at Captain Lanskin's casual words, which also surprised him.

All right!

"Then do you know why I appear here?"

The blue-skinned captain suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Actually, this is also the reason why I came here. I noticed the danger in the world through divination. It seems that the source is at the bottom of the sea. It's just that the ocean blocked my peek. But I think you should be more aware of some recent things."

Tao Yu also wanted to know if the Atlanteans, a group of guys living in the water, could discover anything.

Although this is an independent world, Tao Yu is still more concerned about the Umbrella Company icon when he sees it.

It's not entirely certain that it will be a purely cinematic Marvel universe, there may be many changes.

And if it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I don't know if the Ancient One is still alive, and I don't know if the Space-Time Administration is embedded.

Neither the single universe nor the multiverse can be determined...

"Some things did happen in the sea, but a bald sage came to us and said that the trench cracks that appeared on the seabed were filled with endless darkness, but they were blocked by mysterious forces, so we were told not to get close."

The Ancient One is still alive...

And it’s indeed the movie version.

"I see. Since it was the one who took action, I was indeed overly worried."

Tao Yu nodded mysteriously, as if he understood something.

The fragments of the world can persist for a long time. Since this world is still an independent world, as long as there are no accidents, there is really no need to worry about the cracks.

For the time being, the abyss has limited impact on the interior of this world.

"Why did you get lost here? Where is your ship? There are many traces of human activities in this sea area."

The blue-skinned captain said with some concern.

Because they are sure that the other party is the Atlantis from the Marvel movie world, and there are many traces of human activities in the nearby sea area, and they have also appeared here, Tao Yu can probably determine that this island should be from the Caribbean Sea. Somewhere along the route on this side of the Atlantic.

It may even be a private island that has been sold.

"There is always one reason or another. We humans are far less familiar with the ocean than you are."

Tao Yu was vague.

Next to them, Namikaze Minato and the other Konoha ninjas had no problem understanding English, but their speaking skills were a little poor. Shisha and Suzuki Airi were proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Regarding the exchange between Tao Yu and the blue-skinned man, I have a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

Boss Jack successfully bluffed the opponent!

The initial entry was relatively successful.

"You really lack respect for the ocean. Those drilling platforms continue to affect the places where we live. If this continues, we will start to fight back."

The blue-skinned captain seemed to be opened to chatter, and he complained a little.

"That's a shame, a lot of people really don't care about environmental issues."

Tao Yu did not take this opportunity to directly go deep into Atlantis. First of all, they were more wary. Secondly, there was nothing good there except vibranium.

They are all born with this ability. The only difference is that Neptune Namor was the concoction his mother drank when she was pregnant with him, so he has the characteristics of both humans and Atlanteans.

It is one of the few individuals that can move on land, and it has wings on its ankles. It can be regarded as amphibious on land, water, and air. Its basic abilities such as strength, speed, and defense are also quite outstanding.

The base camp is still under the sea. Based on my current normal situation, it is not cost-effective to go to the opponent's home court under the sea to force myself. It would be better to slowly try to build a good relationship first and have the opportunity to exchange for some vibranium in a gentle way...

…

Plop~Plop~

Several Atlanteans jumped into the sea and left, leaving a vibranium spear and a magical conch on the coast.

The Atlanteans can be contacted by blowing conch shells in the nearby waters.

Tao Yu still gained some of their trust by relying on the magic stick's behavior and the witch's charm and blessing.

but……

"We really have to build a ship..."

Tao Yu glanced at the sea and couldn't help but sigh.

This is an uninhabited island in the Caribbean, and the infamous Epstein Island is also nearby.

To the west is Mexico, to the northeast is Cuba, to the southwest is Guatemala, and to the south is Honduras and Nicaragua. However, in terms of overall sea distance, Mexico is the closest.

"Check the equipment and get to work."

Even if they are all suppressed, even excluding Tao Yu, everyone else has the physical fitness of a top-notch individual soldier. It is enough to just build a raft that does not need to go to the ocean...

…

Whoosh~

As the rows of logs were fixed with the locks that came with the backpack, the raft, which took a day to complete, was also completed.

"The wind speed is just right. Let's do some divination before we set off."

Tao Yu took out his pocket watch and threw it down casually. Then he saw that the pocket watch was very slightly rotating counterclockwise.

"Oh my god, it seems that the weather is just so-so, but it's not a big problem."

This means that the timing of going out to sea is not very good, but it's not too bad. It's okay to make do with it.

"Then what about setting off later..."

Tao Yu wanted to see what was happening later, but the counterclockwise rotation was faster. It looked like there might be a storm or something later.

"Okay, let's do it now. Everyone, hurry up."

The simple wooden boat has a sail made of tent canvas, and with the simple oars installed on both sides, it still has some power.

The wooden boat is also tied with overlapping logs to maintain the center of gravity and balance on the sea.

Although it certainly has no wave-resistant ability, it is generally enough.

There are three feet of waves on the sea without wind. Although the Caribbean is relatively calm due to its location, the ocean is still the ocean after all.

Minato Namikaze and his companions were greatly restricted. They stood on the raft and felt the turbulence of the waves, and a sense of heroism surged in their hearts.

Tao Yu sniffed the salty and humid air, looked at the land that could be vaguely seen in front of him, and said to the people rowing behind him

"Come on, we'll be there soon."

Although Tao Yu was stronger, the raft's own strength was limited, and he wouldn't have much effect rowing in the back.

"It's just a matter of suffering this time, and it will be convenient to enter human society after landing."

While standing in front, Tao Yu was still drawing a pie, but he was also thinking about how to plan the next steps.

Since the degree of distortion of the flow of time is so high, this world can actually be planned and developed slowly, instead of just running to SHIELD to grab the Cosmic Cube and run away...

"If we talk about the computing power of the Marvel Universe, Jarvis, Ultron, and Vision can all be related, so in theory the Mind Gem should be the one that best meets my needs. I don't know if the Mind Gem has arrived on Earth now..."

The Mind Gem was brought by the arrogant little prince Loki in Avengers 1.

Although the Infinity Stones seem to be worthless in the Spacetime Administration, they are indeed high-energy items created during the Big Bang of this universe.

Even if leaving this world may be restricted, there is a high possibility that it is the Heart of the World!

If it is the Heart of the World, even if it cannot form skills, it can still absorb and obtain additional benefits in addition to the power of the world, such as the Heshi Bi, the Holy Grail, and the Silmaril.

As for the Heart of the World in an independent world, even if it is the opening of the sixth talent, it may be able to increase the amount by a considerable amount...

"I just hope that time will not be so hot. If Vision has already come out, it will be a bit troublesome..."

Of course, the best time is between Avengers 1 and Avengers 2, or at least before Vision and Scarlet Witch form any fetters after Avengers 2...

——

A modified speedboat is full of people, each of whom looks a little ragged, and the smell is quite strong when people are crowded.

Most of them are Latin American skin color, and as the speedboat moves, their faces also have a sense of numbness.

However, among the majority of Latin Americans, there are a few yellow people, who still seem a bit out of place.

And in terms of clothing, these yellow people are much better than others.

They are all branded goods.

Wang Dawei is one of them.

Compared with those numb Latin Americans, Wang Dawei has been staring at the front of the speedboat, and his face looks a little excited.

It seems that the direction where the speedboat is about to go is the place he longs for.

His face is full of piety like a pilgrimage.

"Don't look at it, you haven't lost your enthusiasm when you pass through the tropical rainforest..."

Another companion next to him said in a weak tone at this time.

It seems that he has no energy at this time.

God knows how shocked he was when he saw the corpses along the way in the tropical rainforest, and there were more than a dozen robberies along the way. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were men, I'm afraid the consequences would be even worse.

No matter how hot the passion was, it was wiped out in these two months.

Now he just mechanically continues to walk in the set direction.

The sunk cost is too high, and there is no way back...

"We will soon reach Mexico. This time we can bypass Guatemala by water, which reduces many steps. We are only one step away!"

Wang Dawei said as he excitedly took out a flyer printed with the Umbrella Company from his backpack

"And you see, as long as we successfully enter the country, we can use the Umbrella Company's flyer to directly exchange for freedom during immigration detention, and the Umbrella Company will also give us a start-up fund to let us pursue our dreams. How perfect..."

"Maybe, but is there really a free lunch in the world..."

At this time, Wang Dawei's companions also showed a trace of hope on their faces again, but also a kind of worry.

Selling the old and broken house in the Magic City, borrowing all the money that can be borrowed, and overdrawing all credit cards in exchange for this gamble, I don't know if it is right or wrong...

"Why is it not free? There is no money for food and drink there, and there are free white cards for medical care. Isn't it normal for companies to give money for charity?"

"That's right. Umbrella is a giant company that spans the world. It shouldn't be deceived by such a trivial matter."

"that is……"

Just when they were taking a short look while riding on the boat, a crew member on the bow side suddenly yelled at the crew member who was pressing the joysticks of the three engines at the back.

This caused the crew member to start to turn around in panic.

This boat was originally a modified speedboat, with two propellers installed at the back, and the way to control the direction was also quite primitive, rear-wheel drive. Because there were too many people on the boat, the driver couldn't see what was in front of him.

It all depends on the voice control of the crew at the bow of the ship.

Obviously, something happened.

However, the next moment, the ship's hull suddenly shook violently, as if it had hit something, and it seemed like it was about to become airborne.

With the falling water and vibration, most of the nearly full boat was thrown into the sea, and the sound of plop falling into the water and the cry for help came one after another.

Wang Dawei and his companions were lucky enough to still be on the boat after being thrown away.

Bang~bang~

Two sounds, although my back hurt from the fall, I didn't fall into the water at least.

"Shit, what happened?"

"Did you hit the rocks? Didn't you say you were an old crew member? You lied to us again..."

The two of them cursed and kept putting their hands on their lower backs, gasping in pain.

The next moment, there was a bang, and a figure landed on the bow of the ship.

Compared with the others who fell around, this man stood upright on the bow of the ship, without any movement as the ship's hull rose and fell.

As steady as a gymnast.

The ups and downs of the ship's hull and the blowing of the sea breeze made the other party's clothes and hair constantly shake, and his face also looked a little ugly at this time.

I stood there and started cursing.

"Are you mistaken? Can you sail a boat? Don't you have eyes? We are hiding, but you are chasing us!"

Tao Yu stood on the bow of the boat and cursed.

Is this why it spins counterclockwise?

Is there any mistake?

Although Tao Yu's skills were insignificant, Namikaze Minato and the others all turned into drowned rats.

In other words, they can still be regarded as the kings of special forces, otherwise they would be able to kill people if they charged straight at them and collided with them.

Then Namikaze Minato and the others climbed up in embarrassment, all wet.

Inuzuka-jawed dog Domaru kept shaking his head after coming up, splashing water all over the floor.

Airi Suzuki's clothes were soaked, and her hot body looked a little tight.

"It's really bad luck."

Suzuki Airi twisted her hair to squeeze out the water, and was a little unable to complain at this time.

At first, they thought there might be a storm, so they paddled frantically, only to be chased and crushed by the boat.

At the stern of the ship, the crew member who was holding on to the railing to avoid being thrown also recovered from the impact.

While listening to the scolding and looking at Suzuki Airi, who was so lithe and graceful, she suddenly became angry. She reached into her arms and was about to take out a pistol.

But when he saw clearly Akimichi Tangtou who was climbing up with Barrett on his back, and began to take a closer look at the armor of this group of people, the hand stretched out to his arms became more honest.

You can probably guess that there was a collision with the ship. Judging from the appearance of this group of people, if they weren't from the West, they couldn't be on some secret mission and were knocked over by themselves, right?

Finished...

Xi Ai is the real uncrowned king of this area. He colludes with gangs, transports flour, and assassinates important figures. He is an existence that can really make children cry at night.

Tao Yu looked at the scene and then glanced at the crew member who wanted to draw his gun before, and he could probably guess what was going on.

Then he said expressionlessly

"Okay, that's it, take us to the shore."

"Yes, yes, please sit down, please. Our boat is a bit crude. I didn't do it on purpose before. Please forgive me."

The crew member nodded and bowed.

The people who fell into the water next to them also began to move towards the side of the boat one after another.

Anyway, after everyone finally got on the boat, even including Tao Yu and the others, they seemed a little more relaxed.

As for the missing people, no one asked much.

There may be fewer people at every step along the way, and they are used to it.

After the crew member in front who was responsible for providing vision was in place, pulled the motor a few more times, and started buzzing again, Tao Yu said to the crew member in front.

"Are you a local gang?"

Although I was really speechless after being bumped into, it wasn't impossible to take this as an opportunity to get in touch with some local gangs in Mexico.

The gangs and flour merchants in Mexico are extremely powerful, their weapons and equipment are even more powerful than their orthodox counterparts, and they will collude with congressmen.

Most candidates without gang backgrounds will be killed directly.

In this case, finding a way to obtain a 'legal' identity in such a chaotic country is actually a good choice.

Tao Yu also caught a glimpse of an oriental face on the boat, and became more and more sure of his idea.

It’s normal to have no previous experience in the investigation. I came here through the wire and I’m not afraid of investigation at all. It’s perfect...

——

The Yucatan Peninsula is an important area of ​​Mexico that borders both the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Entering here directly by sea can also bypass Guatemala.

The country of Mexico, which is too far away from paradise, has limited power and cannot maintain a coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers.

This has also led to the prevalence of maritime smuggling in Mexico.

An undeveloped beach, a group of Mexican gang members are already waiting here.

"There should be a few good ones among the people who will be shipped over later, haha."

An old Mo was playing with the dagger in his hand, with a little greed in his eyes.

Unlike those miserable Latin American refugees, most of those Easterners who came here with no idea why they went through all kinds of hardships had pretty good savings.

Now, how to extract money from them is already an industry.

Although they were smart enough to save their money in advance, there was still a way to squeeze it out slowly.

"First take out all the money they have, and then introduce them to a good place."

Another man with a nose ring, Lao Mo, also picked up a leaflet from the umbrella company.

Looking at the icon on the flyer, Old Mo's eyes were a little strange, but he was quickly suppressed.

"This is natural. Even a piece of toilet paper will have its use..."

Seeing that the speedboat in front had arrived, several people were already a little impatient.

However, as Tao Yu and his group were the first to disembark, several experienced gang members felt their hearts tremble.

Even when he saw Suzuki Airi's somewhat lustful figure, he didn't dare to look at her at all. Instead, he looked wary.

The weapons on those people fully demonstrated that they were not soft persimmons.

"People from Matamoros?"

Tao Yu glanced at a few people and asked directly.

This is the information asked from the crew.

They belong to a large gang in Mexico and have a wide range of industries, but in addition to flour, they also love kidnapping.

Mexico has the second-highest kidnapping rate in the world, behind Colombia, a fellow sufferer in Latin America.

"Yes, foreigners, although I don't know where you are from, you must abide by our rules when you come here."

Seeing that Tao Yu knew the identities of himself and others, the man with the nose ring began to gain courage.

Gang members can never lose their momentum!

And since the other party knows what is behind him, he is not a fool. If he offends him on his own territory, then...

Bang~

After Tao Yu knocked off the opponent's earlobe with a casual shot, he inserted the pistol back and asked his companions amidst the opponent's screams.

"I want to see your boss, please let me know and make arrangements..."

If this place is beautiful, with various departments and SHIELD, and the year is still uncertain, then it may be necessary to stabilize the situation first, but in a chaotic place like Mexico.

It would be more convenient to abide by the jungle law of the jungle.

Fortunately, I am on the strong side...

…

Lean on the boss chair in the office and put your legs on the desk in front of you.

Tao Yu looked at the shivering leader of the Matamoros Gang in front of him in an office full of corpses, with a somewhat careless expression on his face.

Namikaze Minato and the others stood guard beside Tao Yu like door gods. Everyone had some blood stains on their bodies, adding a bit of evil aura.

After the other party's younger brother notified and reported the matter, he naturally made the other party make "complete preparations."

Also because he was worried about meeting someone in Xi'ai, Vicente did not want to shoot him to death at the beginning. Instead, he "deceived" the person first, and only started to ask questions after he had the right time, place and people.

However, here our own gunners occupied all the favorable positions, almost under the defense of iron barrels.

Before he could ask any questions, the other party began to take action after confirming his identity.

That kind of reaction and accuracy can kill everyone in an instant!

The few bullets that were fired back were actually 'blocked'. This is simply unbelievable!

Could it be a super soldier? !

Or the legendary Ten Rings Gang?

But before he could think about it, Tao Yu had already started to make his request.

"You should have good energy here. I have some things to arrange with you. If I do well, I won't kill you..."

…

"Shisha, I'll leave this to you and Inuzuka Jaw. You should be professional in this kind of thing."

After getting his new 'official identity' and getting a phone card, Tao Yu took an old-fashioned folding mobile phone and made arrangements for the hookah.

Back then, their Takigakure Village had succeeded in establishing a foothold in the world of EVA relying on their individual soldier abilities.

There is just one gangster here, it should be enough to leave him and Inuzuka Jaw alone.

The Inuzuka jaw's earthmaru also has an innate advantage in preventing plots.

Now when I come to a place like this, if I want to quickly get the first bucket of starting capital, the only way to do it is to get it easy.

The country of Mexico is really a paradise for time travellers.

"No problem. With the help of Brother Inuzukaja, we can definitely complete the integration. Anyway, we don't need any money, and the original profits can be divided more."

Shisha also had no objection to this arrangement.

"Well, just look at the arrangements. There is nothing you can do in the short term. In the long term, try to arrange some manpower to run towards the north. If you encounter something involving extraordinary power, then keep yourself first."

After all, the strength of Shisha and Inuzuka Jaw can now be regarded as Hawkeye at best. Maybe let them go to the Hand for training and adapt to the local strength to recover some.

But at least now it's really not that strong.

If this wasn't Mexico, I wouldn't be able to do it in a place like Hell's Kitchen.

Because the main purpose is not to fight, but to spread out to have more eyes and ears, so they can use Mexico as their base camp.

Putting some relevant identity documents into his arms, Tao Yu also threw aside the recent newspapers he had read, and looked at the computer screen in front of him and fell into deep thought for a while.

The news about Iron Man has come out. Generally speaking, this world is the Marvel Cinematic Universe in all aspects, and Tony Stark has also openly admitted his identity at the press conference.

In addition, there are some news about his hearing on the Internet.

In addition, it is now 2010, which is about the time of Iron Man 2.

This time period is quite good. Vision has not been born yet, and when Thor arrives and Loki falls from Asgard, he should be able to bring the Mind Stone here.

It doesn't take long to achieve the harvest of his main goal. Under the distortion of the time flow rate in this world, it is even possible to wait until the six Infinity Stones gather together.

But the key is...

"Umbrella Corporation..., Raccoon City..."

Tao Yu pinched his head with a headache, looking at a report on the previous Raccoon City on the web page. Raccoon City was hit by a meteorite? No one survived?

It was about ten years ago, and now there is no news about zombies in the whole world. Is it suppressed?

"Umbrella Corporation has come in. Although compared with Marvel, the Umbrella Corporation seems to be nothing, but this reaction is definitely not a positive feedback..."

Tao Yu thought of the zombie virus circulating in the cockroach people, which can even infect ninjas.

If Umbrella's T virus and G virus can also infect some superheroes, tsk~

"We can't treat it according to the original inherent understanding. Since it is in the abyss, everything is possible..."

We need to actively intervene.

Umbrella Corporation has a greater influence than Stark, covering almost all aspects. It is a real giant oligarch. It is impossible that there is no shadow of Hydra with such a great influence.

So Raccoon City may have been caused by Hydra's intervention, resulting in no waves.

Tao Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at the flip phone in his hand.

The world's technological level is definitely extremely high. Not to mention Wakanda, Stark and Umbrella have all kinds of artificial intelligence and three-dimensional projection.

But this flip phone is still a bit too obtrusive. Perhaps, it can be used as a stepping stone?

Although Tao Yu was confused about the structure of the smartphone, he felt that as long as he could tell the function, Tony Stark would definitely be able to make it.

In addition, if some functional apps are integrated, it should be possible to get some feedback.

But Tony's pride, how could he notice it...

Just kill him all the way and ask him by pinching his neck?

It seems impolite...

Tao Yu hesitated for a moment and opened the flip phone directly.

Although it is still a flip phone, it still has a full range of functions such as color screen and email. It can also have a browser to surf the Internet, but it does not have as many rich applications as a smartphone.

Tao Yu looked at the mailboxes of several departments of Stark Industries. After a moment of hesitation, he directly addressed him as "Mr. Jarvis" and started writing the email.

"That SHIELD guy might intercept this email, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I deal with SHIELD. I wonder if he has more information about Umbrella..."

After editing, Tao Yu pressed send, which mainly complained about some of the shortcomings of current mobile phones, and then proposed some prospects for smart phones.

Every day, there must be various emails coming to Stark, and there must be a lot of useless spam.

But, there shouldn't be many that start with Jarvis...

As long as a simple connection can be established, given Tony's current palladium poisoning, it shouldn't be a problem to get a considerable amount of start-up funds and initial relationships.

I still have a vibranium spear in my hand...

If it doesn't work, I can hold the vibranium spear in one hand and pinch Tony's neck with the other hand, and I will definitely get his attention.

With Stark's support, many things can be much easier.

"And I don't know if Jarvis can come up with skills related to computing power..."
