Chapter 1031: Guests of the Resort

"Is this Noah's home on Earth? The style is quite unique! Quill, don't you always complain that your hometown houses are all made of wooden boards? But this place doesn't look like that at all." Rocket shouted, and the sharp voice of a raccoon echoed back and forth in the empty room.

After the Morningstar and Milan landed steadily in the hangar of the island base, everyone walked out of their respective spacecrafts and entered the base. As soon as they got off the spacecraft, the members of the Galaxy Guard could not hold back their curiosity. They looked up, widened their eyes, looked around, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. On weekdays, they undertake various tasks in the Nova Corps and frequently shuttle between various planets. Everywhere they go, they can appreciate the unique planetary culture and different architectural styles.

They had always been full of expectations and curiosity about the Earth, the home of Noah and Peter. As soon as Rocket saw Noah's island base, he took it for granted that this was a typical representative of Earth's cultural style architecture, which led to his doubtful exclamation just now.

"Well, I haven't been back to Earth for decades, so I don't really know what the Earth is like now. Maybe it's because the technology on Earth is developing too fast and the changes are too great?" Star-Lord looked around and searched for his childhood memories. The ultra-modern scene in front of him was completely different from the hometown in his memory, which made him wonder if the architectural style of Earth had undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few decades.

"Don't get me wrong, this is just my base. It doesn't represent the current architectural style of Earth. If you want to see the scenery of Earth, you can drive a spaceship to take a look. There is no no-fly zone on Earth. Just turn on the stealth mode and don't cause panic." At this time, Noah walked down from the Morningstar with Lissandra and Gwen. Hearing the discussion of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he explained.

"Oh! So that's what happened! I said I remembered it right." Star-Lord slapped his forehead and suddenly realized it. Then he turned to look at Rocket and said with a smirk, "Rocket, I'll take you to the zoo later and let you see your 'brothers'!"

"What? What, brother? Explain clearly!" Rocket was confused. But Star-Lord had already quickly caught up with Noah and walked out of the hangar. Rocket could only mutter and trot after him, asking questions non-stop.

Walking out of the hangar, Noah's eyes swept through the surrounding laboratories. Most of the walls of the laboratories were made of transparent special glass, and with Noah's eyesight, he could see the situation in each laboratory clearly.

"Tony and Banner are gone? That's a bit unexpected. Maybe they were too busy with work and went out to relax?" Noah couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the empty laboratory.

Noah recalled that when he arrived here last time, Tony and Banner were still busy in the laboratory. Judging from the surroundings, they seemed to have been working here for quite a while. Perhaps they were exhausted from being immersed in research for a long time and wanted to put down their work for a while and have a good rest.

"Wow! You have such a cool laboratory on Earth! The sense of technology feels no different from that on Xandar!" Everyone looked at the futuristic laboratory in front of them and couldn't help but marvel at it, as if they were still in the technologically advanced environment of Xandar, and exclamations came one after another.

This laboratory, which combines nanotechnology, technology from the Source Project world, and Hextech technology, is indeed far beyond the current technological level of the Earth in terms of technological level.

"Let's go, let's go out first. Once we get up there, I'll arrange a place for you to stay on Earth for the time being." Noah said as he led everyone towards the elevator not far away. Everyone entered the elevator one after another, ready to leave the underground laboratory and head to the resort on the ground.

There are many buildings in the resort. For a long time, there were only a few residents, such as Noah, Banner and Tony. Moreover, Noah and Tony did not live here permanently, only Banner was a frequent visitor. Now, with the arrival of the Guardians of the Galaxy, these empty rooms finally have a place to use.

"You have your own resort! This is too awesome!" Star-Lord couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted in shock after seeing the environment on the ground. Although according to Star-Lord's current wealth, even in the universe, he is not very rich, but on Earth, the space technology he has, as long as he takes out one, is a priceless treasure on Earth. However, Star-Lord didn't care too much about these. He just thought that Noah's deeds of having his own island and resort were awesome according to his previous thinking on Earth.

"This is mainly to conceal our whereabouts and hide the experimental base below. If you like, you can stay here for a few more days. There will be plenty of wine and drinks!" Noah said with a smile.

Then, Noah led everyone to the residential area and asked them to choose the room they liked. Of course, he pointed to the rooms where Tony and Banner had lived before and reminded them, "These two rooms were occupied before, so be careful not to make a mistake."

Everyone was quite interested in these two people who had lived in Noah's Resort, but when Noah said they were not here at the moment, they did not ask any more questions and each started to choose a room.

"Lissandra, Gwen, you go back to our house first. I'll be there later." While the Guardians of the Galaxy were choosing their rooms, Noah turned around and whispered to Gwen and Lissandra behind him.

Lissandra nodded slightly in response. Gwen, who had been impatient for a long time, heard this and her eyes lit up instantly. She pulled Lissandra into the newly opened portal. In an instant, there was a flash of light, and the portal slowly closed, and the two figures disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the portal closed, Noah quietly raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He fell into a brief contemplation while waiting for the Guardians of the Galaxy to finish their selection.

Star-Lord and his crew did not keep Noah waiting for long. After all, there were many rooms here, and the layout was spacious and comfortable. There was no need to fight for them, and they soon chose their favorite accommodation.

"Okay, during your time on Earth, you guys should settle down here first. If you want to go somewhere else to experience it later, that's totally fine, everything is up to you." Noah looked at Star-Lord and said seriously. As the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord should know how to act and what to pay attention to during this period on Earth, and Star-Lord can just convey it to the team members later.

"I understand. I probably won't go back to my hometown to live for a long time. This time I came back mainly to visit my relatives whom I haven't seen for a long time. I won't stay on Earth for too long." Star-Lord looked calm, nodded thoughtfully, and a trace of reminiscence of the past flashed in his eyes.

"Well, I haven't been home for a long time, so I plan to go back and take a look. Quill, you guys are free to move around, but if anything happens, feel free to contact me."

Finally, Noah explained the relevant matters of the laboratory to Star-Lord in detail, and repeatedly told him to keep an eye on the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy and not let them cause trouble in the laboratory. He also specifically told them the location of the two invisible spaceships above the island. After the explanation, Noah raised his hand to open the portal, and his figure flashed back to his beach villa.

As for Star-Lord, he waited until all his team members had gathered before he said to everyone, "Okay, everyone, now is our free time. But considering that this is your first time on Earth and you are unfamiliar with the place, you should just follow me for now. I plan to go back to my hometown first, and you all should come with me. After all, this is just an island and there is nothing to see around. When we get to land, you can make your own arrangements."

After Star-Lord finished talking to the Guardians of the Galaxy, he led everyone back to the basement and prepared to board the Milano. The Guardians of the Galaxy were not like Noah and Lissandra, who could cast convenient spells such as portals, and they had to rely on the Milano to travel. However, as a spaceship, the Milano had excellent performance and was very fast and convenient for traveling around the earth.

"Okay, let's get ready!" Although many years have passed, Star-Lord still remembers the location of his hometown. He opened the Earth map that he had just downloaded from the local network, confirmed the location, and decisively started the Milan, muttering to himself: "Missouri, I'm back..."

Star-Lord plans to go back to see his relatives first, then inquire about the location of his mother's grave, sweep the grave for him, and tell her about Ego.

"Come to think of it, my mother seemed to love Ego very much back then. I wonder if she would be very angry if she knew that I killed Ego?" Star-Lord, who was driving the Milan, couldn't help but talk to himself.

"Tsk, Quill, that guy is just an actor, he can only pretend. If your mother knew Ego's true face, she would definitely understand you." Rocket, who was sitting next to him, heard Star-Lord's words and hurriedly comforted him. The other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy behind him also echoed and comforted Star-Lord.

"Well, you are right, I think so too." Star-Lord raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a relieved smile.

Then, Star-Lord gently pressed the button at his hand, and the Milan flying in the sky instantly activated the optical stealth mode. In an instant, the spacecraft, which originally shone with metallic luster under the sunlight, was covered by an invisible film, gradually disappearing under the clear blue sky, and then flew towards Missouri, USA like an invisible arrow. There, it was the hometown that Star-Lord missed so much.

At the same time, in the beach villa, Noah, who had just returned home through the portal, stretched out his body comfortably. At this time, he saw his butler robot Blitz, gliding lightly from the kitchen, with its mechanical eyes flashing, as if greeting him.

"Well, long time no see, Blitzcrank." Noah smiled and nodded to Blitzcrank. Blitzcrank placed in his home was the first generation product made by Noah himself. Later, Lissandra implanted an advanced artificial intelligence system into it, giving it excellent self-care capabilities.

Although Noah and his friends have been away from home for several months, the house is still clean and spotless, thanks to Blitz's consistent and meticulous care. During this period, Blitz has been like a loyal guard, sticking to this home and silently maintaining the cleanliness and order of every corner.

After Lissandra returned home, she immediately went to work, carefully checking whether there were any problems with the various facilities on Earth during her absence. Gwen was so excited that she ran straight back to her room as soon as she got home, threw herself on the bed, and rolled around happily, enjoying the nostalgia of the room she hadn't seen for a long time. In fact, strictly speaking, it wasn't too long since they last saw each other. The last time Noah came back to rescue Thor, she and Lissandra also came back with him.

Noah sat leisurely on the sofa, thinking to himself: "Well, let's first find out about the recent situation on Earth, and then look for Tony and Banner. They should be together now, right?"

Thinking about this, he casually turned on the light and shadow projection device on the table. Suddenly, a projection screen suspended in the air appeared, playing recent news and important information extracted from various hot events. This was the function that Noah had asked Lissandra to set up before. In this way, he didn't need to spend a lot of time browsing those complicated and useless news, and could directly obtain the key content, which was very convenient.

"Hmm... How come so many superpowers suddenly appeared?" Noah's eyes were instantly attracted by the information about superpowers on the screen. Before he left Earth, he noticed that there was a trend of a large number of superpowers emerging. However, after seeing these detailed information, he realized that the number he had estimated before was far from enough.

In the past few months, people with super powers around the world have been influenced by the active actions of famous super powers such as Iron Man and have stopped hiding their abilities. Some of them are motivated by the pursuit of justice and are eager to protect the world like those super heroes; others are driven by interests and want to use their special abilities to gain wealth and status. The number of people with super powers has increased dramatically, and various abilities have emerged one after another, making the situation on the entire earth more and more complicated.

Faced with this massive surge of superpowers, organizations in various countries responded quickly. They knew that these individuals with special abilities could be a powerful force in maintaining social stability and promoting social progress, but they could also cause chaos and become a factor of social instability if they were not restrained. Therefore, countries have taken a series of targeted measures, the most important of which is to recruit and restrict superpowers.

In the eyes of many countries, incorporating people with super powers into the system can not only make full use of their special abilities to serve the country, but also regulate their behavior through corresponding rules and regulations. Therefore, countries have extended olive branches to people with super powers, promising to provide them with resources, security and social status to attract them to join official organizations. For example, some countries have established special super power management agencies to provide training courses for super powers to help them better control their abilities, while also guiding them to use their abilities to contribute to society.

Of course, countries will never tolerate those criminals who use super powers to commit crimes. Once such behavior is discovered, law enforcement forces will be quickly dispatched to bring them to justice. Unlike the world of X-Men, in this world, most countries have not adopted discriminatory policies against people with super powers.
